Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Give him some time, and he will overcome the difficulties and develop a specific drug that can effectively treat Xiaota's condition.

At first, Elisa and Yang Qiuyun both thought that this person was just talking big. He was not as old as those older doctors and did not have enough experience. Even if he was determined, he was probably just full of enthusiasm and drive.

But they still agreed to give him time to research the drug, because as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they both wanted to save Xiaota. Even without trying, Xiaota's condition really might not last much longer...

Elisa wanted to pay the doctor ten times the amount, but the doctor said he would accept the original amount. He said that treating patients was his job and that he would only take the money to buy raw materials, not to profit from it.

Elisa couldn't judge whether his statement was noble or simply honest; she could only express her understanding and help him purchase the necessary raw medicinal materials as much as possible.

Surprisingly... this young doctor wasn't just talking; he actually locked himself in his lab day and night during that time, testing the drugs, personally trying them out, and only daring to give them to Xiaota after confirming there were no major side effects.

Little Tower didn't really understand...

Why would someone go to such lengths for her? She clearly doesn't know this person; he's just using money to save people, he doesn't need to go to such lengths.

But the man emphasized again that as a doctor, he could not stand by and watch his patients die from their illnesses; he would try to create a miracle even if there was only a sliver of hope.

No one really expected a miracle.

It really happened.

This was Xiaota's fifth time trying the drug. When she first took the pill, she only said it was very bitter and there was no change, but after a whole day...

She said her body was no longer in pain.

From head to toe, I felt almost no pain.

Xiaota was overjoyed that day. She couldn't believe that the pain that had tormented her day and night, and that she could even feel in her dreams while sleeping, had suddenly disappeared by more than half.

The man was also very pleased. Despite his dark circles, he smiled and gave Xiaota a thumbs up, as if to say, "This is all thanks to your hard work in fighting the disease."

However, whose credit it is... isn't it obvious?

Elisa wanted to give him a lot of money, but the man still politely declined.

He said that giving him money now would be an insult to his identity as a doctor and was unnecessary; what was more important was to pay attention to Xiaota's condition.

Afterwards, although Xiaota's pain would continue to recur, the intervals between attacks would become longer and longer each time she took the medication adjusted by the young doctor.

After a year of consistent treatment, Xiaota didn't feel any pain for a whole month without taking any medication.

The man said that this might really have eradicated most of the root cause of the illness, and he could try to stand up again.

During that time, with the help of Yang Qiuyun and Elisa, Xiaota was learning to walk again. She hadn't put her feet on the ground for too long, so she felt very uncomfortable when she touched it and was prone to falling.

But in the end, having overcome such a disease, how could Xiaota not overcome something as simple as walking?

Before long, Xiaota was able to walk slowly without anyone's help. Later, she was even able to go for walks in the park by herself, just like a normal person.

When this girl, who had always lived in darkness, took off her pajamas and put on a dress for the first time in her life, feeling the sunlight, it was a beautiful scene that Yang Qiuyun would never forget.

Later, Xiaota took the initiative to confess her feelings to the young doctor who was treating her.

—It was under the "encouragement" of Elisa and Yang Qiuyun that she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings.

Who told her to keep mentioning that doctor's name? She's like a girl in the throes of first love. Do you think those two can't see it? If you don't confess, you'll miss out on a good man and regret it for the rest of your life.

At that moment, the man's cheeks were as red as an apple, his expression filled with disbelief and incredulity.

Coincidentally, during the process of treating Xiaota, he had already fallen in love with this strong girl.

Xiao Ta was moved by the man's persistent dedication to research, and the man, in turn, was also moved by...

I was moved by Xiaota's intense desire to survive.

Although it wasn't love at first sight, it was a gradual accumulation of feelings that solidified and became unbreakable.

So, the confession was successful.

At the end of the same year, Xiaota and this man completed their marriage registration and held a wedding ceremony.

There was no need to rush, but Xiaota said that this was her first year being able to stand up, so she wanted to accomplish her first major task in this first year.

The first important thing is to get married to the person I love.

Yang Qiuyun, who was already preparing to marry into the Su family, also made time to attend the wedding.

She was truly gratified and deeply moved.

What a hard-won and unforgettable love, transcending life and death and melting away the passage of time.

When Yang Qiuyun appeared at the wedding, the guests mistook her for the bride's twin sister.

The wedding went very smoothly.

Everything went smoothly.

For two years, Xiaota lived a comfortable life. She sincerely thanked Elisa and Yang Qiuyun for taking her in back then, saying that she would definitely repay them in the future. After that, she moved out of the small house where she had lived for more than ten years and moved to her husband's house.

It seemed as if everything would go smoothly from then on.

However, Yang Qiuyun received this devastating news one day that year.

The plane carrying the man crashed in the ocean, and all the crew members perished.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, Yang Qiuyun, who was already living in the Su family villa, felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.

Why... is it like this?

Ignoring everything else, she abandoned her urgent work, bought a plane ticket to Northern Europe, and rushed there day and night.

Then, when she hurriedly got off the plane, took a taxi, walked around three streets, and ran breathlessly to the man's house, all she saw was a scene that broke her heart.

Little Tower and Elisa were both crying.

Elisa was holding her, and she didn't even realize that Yang Qiuyun had arrived.

I don't know how long Xiaota had been crying, or how long Alyssa had been comforting her, before I broke down and cried along with her.

Yang Qiuyun only knew that... fate was far from fair.

Later, Xiaota could no longer stand up.

Her legs, for some reason, started hurting again soon after the man died. The pain spread from her legs to her head, just like before, piercing her entire body. In fact, the pain was even more severe than before.

The man left behind the prescription for the medicine to treat Xiaota, but for some reason... the medicine had no effect on treating Xiaota.

Other doctors said that Xiaota's excessive grief caused her condition to relapse and undergo some changes, requiring a new prescription.

Unfortunately, apart from that man, no one else can make a cure for Xiaota.

That winter was very cold.

On that night when she had no choice but to return home, Yang Qiuyun looked at Xiaota lying on the bed, looking lost and dejected.

Tears streamed down my face—tears I'd almost never shed before...

23. Winning by half a move against Heaven

In the days that followed, Xiaota's health condition could only be described as fluctuating.

When Alyssa Yang Qiuyun visited her more frequently, she said she was much better, but whether she was truly better or not, only she herself probably knew.

The increasing number of doctors shaking their heads and sighing already reveals a lot...

This unchanging situation continued until the day Yang Qiuyun called her recently.

This was also the first day that Xiaota was told he had at most one month to live.

She held the phone in her hand, her fingers trembling, her eyes filled with tears—not from illness, but from overwhelming emotion...

Even when told that she would die soon, she remained calm and showed no surprise whatsoever.

Looking at her phone now, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

Even lying on the pillow, you could see her trying to stand up, but unfortunately, it was impossible.

it does not matter.

Even though she couldn't stand up, she can now do things that only she can do.

Xiaota originally thought that she would spend this last month in vain, and eventually die as a useless person under the watchful eyes of Qiuyun and Sasha.

But she never expected... she really never expected it! Heaven would actually favor her one last time.

Qiuyun said she needs me.

Xiao Ta has been waiting for these words for over a decade.

Since being taken in and cared for by Qiuyun Shasha, Xiaota has been thinking about repaying her kindness every moment. However, due to her physical condition, she can only make demands unilaterally. Even being able to be with her husband is thanks to Qiuyun Shasha's persuasion and efforts.

They gave themselves more than a decade of happiness. Perhaps others would still see this period as painful, but Xiaota didn't think so. She truly felt very happy.

Unexpected events are unavoidable natural disasters and man-made calamities, an unavoidable twist of fate.

She wouldn't complain, but she still hoped to fulfill her lifelong wish before she died.

—Help them, even if only once.

So when she learned the whole story, she was incredibly excited, so much so that her excitement overshadowed the pain throughout her body.

If this can be accomplished, it can help Qiuyun resolve the family crisis and protect the children.

Every time Xiaota sees the photos Qiuyun sends, those two adorable little ones who look exactly alike, she feels a warmth in her heart.

Especially when she sees the slightly shorter, silver-haired girl, Yu Che... Xiao Ta's face will unconsciously show a kind smile.

I wish I could hug you more often while I'm still alive, but sadly, I won't have the chance anymore.

If there is an afterlife, then let's meet again then...

Speaking of the brother and sister in the photo,

Doesn't it remind you of Qiuyun and yourself when you were a child?

Haha... What's wrong with Xiao Yuzhe? He's clearly a boy, how come he's so handsome? He'd definitely look great in girls' clothes!

Yuzhe:? !

In addition, this matter will also be helpful to Sasha.

She came from Northern Europe and married into Qiuyun's city a few years ago. I heard that her family is currently in a period of growth but faces many obstacles. If Qiuyun's family overcomes these difficulties, it will be a significant boost to Sasha's family as well.

She was overjoyed to be able to help two friends at the same time. It's such a wonderful thing to be able to fulfill a wish at the end of one's life, isn't it?

Xiaota even had a feeling that she and Qiuyun looked exactly alike, and that they must have been born just for this moment!

If Qiuyun knew about this idea, she would definitely scold me severely... She would say that the meaning of a person's birth lies in themselves, not in others. But Xiaota knows that without them, she would have been gone long ago, so she firmly believes in her own thoughts.
