In the evening, Luo Fei returned to the hospital.

He gently pushed open the door to his cousin's hospital room.

On the hospital bed, the small, thin figure had already woken up.

Zhao Lin was leaning against the headboard of the bed, her big eyes under her cotton hat gazing at the darkening sky outside the window. When she heard the door open, she turned her head.

He was momentarily confused upon seeing Luo Fei.

Her lips moved, uttering a faint sound:

"Big...brother?"

The voice was very soft, and the child called out the name from their childhood with some uncertainty.

Luo Fei's heart was gently touched by this call.

He walked quickly to the bedside, bent down, a gentle smile on his face, and reached out to gently rub her head, which was covered by a cotton hat.

"Linlin, do you still remember your brother?" His voice softened unconsciously.

Zhao Lin forced a smile onto her pale face, nodded, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Your older brother has come to see you," Luo Yumei, whose spirits had improved slightly, quickly said.

Luo Fei sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at his cousin's complexion, and asked, "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Zhao Lin gently shook her head: "I just don't have the energy, I want to sleep."

"That's how it is when you're sick. Just rest well and you'll get better soon," Luo Fei comforted him.

Zhao Lin blinked and asked softly, "Brother, Mom said you can help me?"

"Yes." Luo Fei nodded without hesitation, holding her small, cold hand. "Brother promises, I will make sure you are discharged from the hospital healthy and can go back to school and play with your classmates."

Zhao Lin's eyes brightened even more.

Luo Yumei watched from the side, secretly wiping the corner of her eye.

After spending some time with Zhao Lin, Luo Fei noticed that she seemed tired and told her to close her eyes and rest.

Then he turned to his aunt.

"Auntie, let's go find Linlin's attending physician and discuss the next treatment plan."

Luo Yumei nodded quickly, then glanced at her daughter with some unease.

"I've hired a caregiver, she'll be here soon and will stay with Linlin," Luo Fei said. He had already booked an experienced caregiver on his phone on his way back to the hospital.

The two quietly left the ward and closed the door behind them.

In the corridor, Luo Fei lowered his voice and briefly told his aunt what he had learned at the law firm that afternoon.

"So, Aunt, you can completely withdraw that divorce agreement. Zhao Zhiwei's actions constitute a serious offense, and you have an absolute legal advantage. You can not only retain the property you are entitled to, but also make him pay the price. Tomorrow morning, Attorney Chen will come in person to discuss the details with you and sign the engagement agreement."

Luo Yumei listened in a daze.

She was a housewife who was almost crushed by the double blow of her husband's betrayal and her daughter's serious illness. She never thought that she could use legal weapons to protect herself and take back what belonged to her.

"Is it really possible, Xiaofei? Won't the lawyer's fees be very expensive?" She was both expectant and apprehensive.

"Auntie, you don't need to worry about any of this. Leave it to me." Luo Fei stopped and looked at his aunt. "What you need to do now is trust the law and trust me. Take good care of Linlin and take good care of yourself. I'll handle the rest."

Luo Yumei nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Auntie believes you!"

Arrived at the doctor's office.

Zhao Lin's attending physician was a serious-looking male doctor in his forties, surnamed Li.

Dr. Li was reviewing medical records on his computer when he saw Luo Yumei bring in a young stranger. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"Hello, Dr. Li. I'm Luo Fei, Zhao Lin's cousin," Luo Fei introduced himself.

"Hello." Dr. Li looked Luo Fei over. "Is it about Zhao Lin's condition? Given her current state, she needs to start chemotherapy as soon as possible."

"Dr. Li, our family has some ideas about the treatment plan that we'd like to discuss with you," Luo Fei interrupted the doctor.

"Oh? Please go on." Dr. Li adopted a listening posture.

"We would like to request a transfer to a private room, where the environment will be quieter and more conducive to Linlin's rest and recovery. Cost is not an issue."

Dr. Li nodded: "A single room is indeed more suitable, but it's a bit tight right now. I'll try my best to coordinate."

"Thank you, Dr. Li," Luo Fei continued. "Before starting conventional chemotherapy, we'd like to try conservative treatment first."

Dr. Li frowned: "Conservative treatment? Mr. Luo, Zhao Lin has acute leukemia, which is progressing very rapidly. Delaying treatment carries extremely high risks! The most standard treatment plan right now is to start chemotherapy as soon as possible!"

His tone became serious and disapproving.

"Dr. Li, I understand your concerns," Luo Fei said calmly.

"But our family has its own considerations. We are not giving up on treatment, but waiting for a more reliable option. In the meantime, we hope the hospital can provide the best conservative treatment, and we will cover all the costs. If Linlin's condition deteriorates rapidly, we will immediately agree to start chemotherapy."

He looked at Dr. Li and said firmly, "We can sign the informed consent form and bear all the risks that may arise from delaying chemotherapy."

Dr. Li looked at Luo Fei, then at the haggard Luo Yumei beside him, his heart filled with doubt.

Waiting? In the field of leukemia treatment, time is life, and delay can be fatal.

But the family's attitude was so firm, and they were willing to bear all the costs and risks.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, "Since you insist, I respect your decision. I will adjust the treatment plan and closely monitor Zhao Lin's condition. But I must emphasize again that you must carefully consider the risks of delaying chemotherapy."

"We understand, thank you doctor," Luo Fei said solemnly.

He knew that Dr. Li was acting out of a doctor's compassion, but once Zhou Mingyu's medication arrived, the effects would be far superior to chemotherapy. Until then, stabilizing his sister's condition was of paramount importance.

Next, Luo Fei went to the payment counter and deposited 100,000 yuan.

Back in the ward, the hired caregiver arrived. She was an experienced older woman, and Luo Fei gave her a few instructions.

Seeing that everything was temporarily arranged, he said to Luo Yumei, "Auntie, you've been working hard all day and haven't even closed your eyes. There's a caregiver looking after Linlin here. Why don't you come with me to the hotel next door to rest?"

"No need, I'll stay here with Linlin." Luo Yumei quickly shook her head.

"Auntie, you need to rest," Luo Fei said firmly. "What will happen to Linlin if you collapse from exhaustion? There are still many things that need your attention. Go and get a good night's sleep so you'll be in better shape tomorrow to take better care of Linlin and have a proper discussion with Attorney Chen."

Looking at her nephew's concerned eyes and then at her daughter on the hospital bed, Luo Yumei finally nodded.

There is a nice hotel right next to the hospital.

Luo Fei booked two rooms.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Luo Fei woke up in bed.

As usual, a slight thought arose.

[A divine choice has been triggered today.]

Two options are slowly presented:

Option A: Obtain a fully automatic multi-functional food processor (which can automatically identify ingredients and complete the entire process of cutting, cooking, and cleaning, and comes with a basic recipe library)

Option B: Receive a portable anti-gravity skateboard (basic civilian version, maximum height 10 meters, speed 80 km/h, 3 hours of charging for 1 hour of battery life, includes basic operation tutorial and safety guide)

Luo Fei looked at the two options and his lips twitched slightly.

A food processor? An anti-gravity skateboard?

After a moment's thought, he chose B.

[Confirm selection. Rewards being distributed...]

A sleek, silver-gray skateboard, about one meter long and half a meter wide, appeared inside the storage ring.

At the same time, information about the basic operation methods, charging methods, and safety precautions of skateboarding also flooded into Luo Fei's mind.

This skateboard uses a unique crystal energy source that can be charged. It relies on body balance to operate and is quite fast, but its battery life is only average.

Luo Fei stopped thinking about it and got up to wash up.

Then I went to the next room and woke up my aunt.

Luo Yumei slept well overnight and felt much better.

The two ate something simple at a breakfast shop near the hospital.

After breakfast, they returned to the hospital.

Zhao Lin has woken up, and the caregiver is carefully wiping her face.

Seeing her mother and cousin come in, Zhao Lin smiled faintly.

He talked with his cousin for a while, encouraging her to eat more and cooperate with the treatment.

Around 9:30, Luo Fei's phone rang.

It's Attorney Chen.

"Mr. Luo, I'm downstairs at the hospital."

"Okay, Attorney Chen, we're in the hematology department..."

A few minutes later, Attorney Chen, carrying a briefcase, appeared at the door of the ward.

Luo Yumei stood up somewhat nervously.

Luo Fei stepped forward: "Attorney Chen, thank you for coming all this way. This is my aunt, Luo Yumei."

"Hello, Ms. Luo." Attorney Chen nodded politely, his gaze sweeping over the frail Zhao Lin on the hospital bed.

"Let's talk outside, so as not to disturb the children's rest," Luo Fei said.

The three of them arrived at a rest area in the corridor outside the ward.

Attorney Chen took out the prepared engagement agreement and related documents from his briefcase and began to explain them to Luo Yumei point by point.

He expressed complex legal provisions in the simplest language possible.

Luo Yumei listened attentively, nodding occasionally. She gradually understood the key points, and her eyes became more and more determined.

Ultimately, she signed her name on the agency agreement.

Attorney Chen put away the documents and said, "Ms. Luo, I will immediately submit a formal statement to the marriage registration office withdrawing my divorce application. I will then prepare the necessary documents, apply for property preservation, and draft the complaint. Once the evidence is gathered, I will file a lawsuit immediately."

"During this period, if your husband contacts you or does anything unusual, please notify me immediately."

"Okay, Attorney Chen, I'm counting on you for everything." Luo Yumei nodded.

After seeing off Attorney Chen, the two returned to the ward.

Just then, Luo Fei's cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhou Mingyu.
