After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1928 Curing ALS
The next morning, Luna went to the gym to work out as usual. Then she saw Molly and Grace, but she ignored them and went to work out on her own.
Molly went straight to her and said, "Hey, Luna, Grace is planning to move in with us. John didn't object. Do you agree?"
Luna narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in return, "Did John agree?"
Although she was young, she was not stupid at all and immediately seized on the loophole in the other person's words.
Molly's face stiffened slightly, then she said, "John said he wouldn't object as long as you agree. In fact, he does agree in his heart. The reason, I think you can guess, is that John slept with Grace last night, so Grace should be treated the way she deserves."
Besides, we have so many empty rooms in this villa; giving her one would actually make it more lively, and John loves a good atmosphere. Otherwise, with just the few of us living in this huge villa, plus two live-in nannies and two security guards, there aren't many people, don't you think?"
Molly deliberately brought up Chen Feng and Grace's current relationship, mainly to provoke Luna. She thought this would infuriate Luna to the point of confronting Chen Feng, which would obviously make Luna lose points with him.
Unfortunately, Luna wasn't fooled. Although Luna was a little shocked and angry, her resentment quickly dissipated when she thought about her intimacy with Chen Feng last night and Chen Feng's stamina and strength.
Besides, Molly herself doesn't care, so Luna feels she doesn't need to care too much either.
She quickly went through the thought process and understood the reasoning, which immediately calmed her down.
Luna countered Molly's question, "Does Brina know about this? You've been so actively pimping for John, I don't think Brina knows about this, right?"
Luna came to Los Angeles at the age of eighteen and has been in the somewhat chaotic modeling industry for the past few years. She has managed to keep herself clean. If she didn't have a brain, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.
Therefore, Molly's deliberate provocation or instigation tactics were completely exposed in her eyes, and she turned the tables on Molly.
Clearly, Molly had taken it upon herself to bring Grace over, and then gave her to Chen Feng to warm his bed. Luna considered this behavior utterly despicable, akin to pimping.
This tactic is actually quite common in the modeling industry; sisters introduce sisters to each other, and she's seen it all before.
Therefore, Molly's methods were childish and even naive in her eyes.
Sure enough, Molly's expression immediately turned sour when Luna asked that question. She had been expecting Luna to become angry or even confront Chen Feng, but Luna not only remained calm but also struck at her weak point.
She hadn't explained this to Brina beforehand, let alone discussed it with her. She had completely taken it upon herself to bring her best friend over and then put her in Chen Feng's bed, because she subconsciously felt that this matter was somewhat dishonorable.
Moreover, if she told Brina, Brina would most likely object, so she decided to do it first and see how it goes.
Seeing that Molly couldn't answer for a moment, Luna sneered and said, "Brina should be back soon today, right? When she finds out, let's see how you explain it to her."
Molly felt a little guilty, but she still tried to appear calm and said, "You don't need to worry about this. This is between Brina and me. I'm asking if you agree to let Grace move in. After all, the three of us agreed that she could only move in if we all agreed. So, we respect our original agreement and asked for your opinion first."
Luna, however, stated directly, "I object."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Molly's somewhat unpleasant expression and picked up the dumbbells to start her morning workout.
Although Luna was somewhat intimidated and wary of Molly before, after spending some time together, especially after experiencing Molly's pimping behavior, she felt disgusted and her respect for her diminished considerably.
Now, Luna can generally maintain a calm demeanor when facing Molly, and she's no longer afraid of her. This feeling makes her very happy; after all, she now has a powerful backer, no longer the petty woman living at the bottom of society she once was.
With such a powerful man like Chen Feng backing her, why should she be afraid of Molly, this so-called heiress? In the end, isn't this heiress completely submissive to Chen Feng?
With this in mind, Luna's fear of Molly gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Molly saw that Luna actually objected directly and did not give her any face at all, which made her grit her teeth in hatred.
But she also remembered Chen Feng's repeated warnings to her, so she didn't dare to go too far with Luna. She could only suppress her anger and mutter "pen pool" under her breath.
Then, Molly made an apologetic gesture to Grace, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Don't worry, when Brina comes back, we'll discuss it together. We'll talk to John together, and he'll definitely agree to let you move here in the end."
"After all, this house is so big, and there are so many empty rooms. Once John, Brina, and I leave, the house will be even emptier. It would be perfect for you to move in and help us look after the house."
Grace felt a little conflicted, but she still managed a smile and thanked Molly.
Deep down, she certainly didn't want to face Luna head-on, because she knew her own limitations; if she really went head-to-head with Luna, she would definitely lose.
She had this worry yesterday, and now, seeing Luna and Molly clash in person, she felt even more uneasy about Luna.
However, Grace really wanted to live in this luxurious villa. On one hand, she genuinely preferred the opulent decor and elegant landscaping of the mansion; on the other hand, living here would effectively make her Chen Feng's woman. This recognition of her status naturally filled her with anticipation.
Unfortunately, this young model Luna was clearly no pushover; she didn't back down even when facing Molly, displaying a very tough attitude. This directly showed that she was indeed favored by Chen Feng. Otherwise, Molly wouldn't have been so humiliated in their exchange, yet dared not retaliate.
Molly certainly sensed that Grace's attitude was a little off, but she assumed it was because she had lost the battle with Luna earlier, which made Grace look down on her.
It can only be said that she miscalculated this time. Luna was unaffected by her provocation and even turned the tables on her, leaving her unable to retaliate. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
At that moment, Molly could only continue to assure Grace, "Don't worry, I mean what I say."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more and sat down to practice stretching.
Chen Feng ran around the yard a few times, worked up a sweat, then stopped, went upstairs to shower and change clothes, and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Because Chen Feng was there, and Brina wasn't, everyone ate breakfast together again. Molly couldn't say anything about it. Besides, Alicia, an outsider, was also there, so she couldn't bring up Grace's matter during breakfast; she could only keep it to herself for now.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Feng finally had a chance to check his phone. There were several unread messages on the screen, including one from Zhang Zhiqiang. Zhang said they had found a suitable ALS patient and arranged for him to stay at Carl's private hospital, asking when he would be available to go. Chen Feng had originally planned to go shopping with Luna today, along with Alicia. But given this situation, he couldn't be negligent and immediately replied, telling Zhang to drive over and pick him up. Zhang Zhiqiang replied instantly, saying he would leave right away.
After putting down his phone, Chen Feng said to the women, "I have to go outside for a bit later. You can do whatever you want."
Alicia was looking forward to going shopping with Chen Feng, but Chen Feng's comment made her a little unhappy.
However, she knew that men didn't like women who were constantly throwing tantrums. She could only suppress her displeasure and feign a slightly aggrieved expression as she asked, "Where are you going? Can I come with you?"
Chen Feng shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm going to take care of serious business, so it's not appropriate for me to bring anyone along. You can go shopping with Luna."
Alicia pouted and immediately fell silent, but everyone could see that she was unhappy.
Chen Feng had no intention of offering any guidance or counseling. Although she was Karl's daughter, he wasn't her uncle, and he had no obligation to specifically counsel her or provide any psychological support.
Luna, who was standing next to him, quickly comforted him, "Since John has something to do today, let's just go shopping together. He can come with us next time we have the chance."
Molly, sitting diagonally across from him, couldn't help but laugh, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. "There might not be another chance," she said. "John's going to San Francisco tomorrow. He'll be there for a few days, and then he'll probably head straight back home."
Upon hearing this, Alicia became even more displeased and looked at Chen Feng, asking, "Is that so?"
Chen Feng gave Molly a helpless glare before nodding slightly and saying, "Yes, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow for some important business. If things go well there, I'll likely go straight back to China."
"But didn't you say you were going to travel to China this summer? When you come to Xiuzhou, I'll definitely go with you. We'll have plenty of time to go shopping then."
Upon hearing this, Alicia became happy again and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's true, then it's settled, there's only one month left anyway."
Upon seeing this, Molly couldn't help but purse her lips slightly. However, she didn't say anything more, lest she displease Chen Feng.
Next, Chen Feng went upstairs to change his clothes and came down. After waiting a few minutes, Zhang Zhiqiang arrived by car.
On the way to Carl's Private Hospital, Zhang Zhiqiang introduced Chen Feng to this ALS patient. He was a boy of only fifteen years old who had been diagnosed with ALS at the age of nine. Year by year, he lost control of his body, and now he has almost no sensation below his neck.
The main reason is that his family is relatively wealthy. He is their only son, and his parents and relatives have given everything they have to treat him, which is why he is still alive today. Otherwise, he might not be alive today.
Carl and Zhang Zhiqiang chose this little boy not out of pity or sympathy, but primarily because the boy's age and genetic traits closely resembled those of the illegitimate son of the incompetent prince.
Speaking of age, the prince's illegitimate son is sixteen years old, while this one is fifteen, but in reality, the two are only a little over five months apart in age.
Secondly, both children's fathers are pure-blooded Saxons, while their mothers are of mixed race with Black ancestry. Therefore, the two children's bloodlines, or rather their genes, are quite similar.
Furthermore, the prince's illegitimate son's illness is milder than this little boy's. Therefore, if Chen Feng can cure the little boy's more severe illness, he will certainly be able to cure the prince's illegitimate son as well.
Of course, another point is that the little boy's family is also quite wealthy. The hospital charged them ten million US dollars for the consultation, and they had already paid in advance. This family can be described as desperately seeking medical treatment when they are ill.
Of course, this private hospital is owned by Carl Hicks, and with Carl Hicks, California's richest man, as a guarantee, the family would be convinced to do something like pay first and then receive treatment.
A dozen minutes later, Chen Feng returned to Carl's private hospital. To maintain secrecy, he did not meet the boy with ALS, nor did he meet his family.
He went straight to the blood collection room next to the operating room, where the white nurse had been waiting for some time. The rest of the treatment went smoothly; Chen Feng only needed to provide platelets every two hours.
Another unique aspect of this blood transfusion was that the little boy was not anesthetized. Because he had no sensation below the neck and the problem wasn't in his head, a direct intravenous transfusion was used.
Just one hour after the first blood transfusion, the little boy regained slight sensation in his fingers. He immediately shouted with joy, "I can feel it! I can feel it!"
This discovery immediately thrilled the doctors and nurses in the operating room. Without a doubt, their medical team had once again conquered a terminal illness. First cancer, then ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
Even though Chen Feng was largely responsible for all of this, they, as the actual implementers and healers, still felt honored.
Two hours later, the little boy was able to move his fingers flexibly. Although he still couldn't lift his arms directly, it was still very encouraging for everyone.
The subsequent treatment process and its effects were obvious. After the third blood transfusion, which took six hours, the little boy was finally able to slowly lift his arm.
Eight hours later, the little boy was able to turn his neck slightly on his own. Ten hours later, he regained feeling in both of his legs.
Everything was progressing in a very positive direction. However, there was no doubt that this treatment process was much longer and the effects were somewhat slower than those for cancer treatment. There was no other way; Chen Feng could only continue to act as the "blood bank," continuing to supply blood.
This continued until 10 p.m., when the little boy finally regained feeling in his entire body. At that moment, even though he was young, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
His family members, who had accompanied him outside the operating room, embraced each other and wept with joy upon hearing the news.
Throughout the entire ordeal, neither the little boy nor his parents knew exactly how his ALS was cured. The hospital, or rather the medical team, only explained that they used very expensive, highly effective drugs and very sophisticated and advanced treatment methods.
Therefore, the ten million US dollars in treatment fees paid by the other party is really not expensive at all. Moreover, this treatment plan is currently only in the experimental stage.
Although they had acted out of desperation and paid directly because of Karl's reputation, they were still somewhat uneasy and even skeptical. They only accepted the money out of desperation.
At this moment, the treatment results were clearly demonstrated. Seeing the little boy raise his arm and leg, they had no choice but to believe that ALS, one of the five most incurable diseases in humans, had actually been conquered.
Seeing the effectiveness of his treatment, Chen Feng felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. However, he didn't go to see the little boy and his parents, but instead left the hospital quietly, concealing his achievement. (End of Chapter)
