Toyokawa Shoko was in a daze for a moment. For the first time, Asano Yushin, the unscrupulous man who made her shudder, made her feel so at ease.

21. People can’t run at full speed all the time

Mizuho Toyokawa complained that Yushin Toyokawa had told Xiangzi about the conflict, but she subconsciously smiled when she saw them coming.

There is no filial son by the bedside of a long-term patient. This saying is true for ordinary families, but it is not so applicable to the Toyokawa family.

The huge medical expenses alone would be enough to make an ordinary family breathless, but for the Toyokawa family, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Yushin's eyes dimmed a little. His attitude towards money has always been that enough is enough, but there are always similar things that make him sensitive to money.

The family's business has become like a logistics base in the game, which can generate money continuously, and most of it does not require personal involvement. Toyokawa Yushin went to the company to build prestige and train a team in order to take over.

It is not difficult to take time to visit and accompany Mizuho Toyokawa, and Yushin Toyokawa is confident that she can maintain a good attitude.

"I'm going to the bathroom." He received a message from his father-in-law, made an excuse and slipped away.

The vice president of this small hospital has something to say to the patient's family. You chose not to bring Xiangzi and Hemu along.

They don't need to shoulder responsibilities that aren't appropriate for their age. You can't imagine what benefit they'll bring other than adding to their worries. They just serve as a tranquilizer for Toyokawa Mizuho.

Toyokawa Sadaharu visibly relaxed upon seeing you. He bent down and pulled a chair over for you. Flattered, you stopped him. Only then did you realize that this majestic old man also had a helpless side.

"A genetic susceptibility defect may be the main cause of her cancer. The targeted drugs here don't match her genes. You need to transfer the patient to a more advanced hospital for examination."

The Vice President hesitated for a moment, then added, "It's not that he doesn't want to treat you, but he's seen countless people and can tell from your aura that you're not ordinary people. Families with better financial conditions have many more treatment options than ordinary families. Going to a hospital with better medical facilities is the right solution."

[It seems this kind of medical dispute has happened before. You understand the situation and wake up the dazed Toyokawa Sadaharu. Transferring to another hospital is urgent and must be arranged quickly.]

Toyokawa Sadaharu finally regained his decisive and vigorous state. He realized that the Toyokawa family now had a new pillar to support them.

[When you were arranging the transfer, he mobilized all his connections to inquire about relevant information from friends in the medical field and arranged meetings with several medical experts.]

Yushin Toyokawa started his father-in-law's Maybach and the driver drove his car back.

He glanced back at Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was holding onto his phone and shaking it wildly.

Humans are social animals. If one person is unable to withstand pressure, he will be crushed by the huge pressure. If there is one more person, the ability to withstand pressure is not just improved by 1+1, but can become a super pressure-resistant king.

The feeling of being depended on by so many people was really subtle. He sped along the road towards the place that Toyokawa Sadaharu mentioned. The rest of the journey was destined to be the two of them inseparable to explore the possibility of Toyokawa Mizuho's recovery.

He didn't feel as much pressure as he had imagined about Mizuho Toyokawa's life or death. The simulation was fake and the survival rate of cancer was not 100%. He just had to do his best to be worthy of himself and live up to everything he had done before.

Opening the skill panel, he muttered something to the interface.

Sweet Talk (Beginner), Legal Knowledge (Beginner), Toyokawa Shoko's User Manual (Advanced), Game Cake Master (Beginner), Reading Moods (Intermediate), The King of Stab Resistance (Beginner), Women of Many Ages, Kidneys of Iron (Temporary)

"What crappy skills."

Toyokawa Yushin is really speechless. If the reward given at the end of this simulation does not meet the standard of "three years of not opening a business and three years of eating after opening one", then the system will be unbearable.

The only one with potential is the male physique from the other world. He has developed new ways of playing and uses the endless energy of his physique on work and study, and rarely uses it to do that kind of thing.

He had a feeling that he was nearing the end of this simulation, and the last hurdle was probably Mizuho Toyokawa's lung cancer.

There are many solutions, it just depends on the quality of the ending.

The most likely solution: Mizuho Toyokawa died in pain and was not cured.

Xiangzi suffered great psychological trauma, and his father-in-law was depressed until the end of his life. They relied on Toyokawa Yushin to continue to heal them for the rest of their lives and help them get rid of the shadow. It was no less difficult than cancer. Mental illness was the most difficult to cure. It was a trauma that would accompany them for a lifetime.

The solution that most respects the patient's feelings: Mizuho Toyokawa passed away peacefully without suffering much pain from the illness.

This is the easiest achievement to achieve. It seems much better than the solution above, but it is actually the biggest trap.

No one will blame you too much if you have the will but not the ability, but the most terrifying thing is to have the ability but not the intention. If he had taken the initiative to propose it instead of Toyokawa Mizuho voluntarily, the personality he had maintained for so long would have completely collapsed, and he would have been charged with the crime of murder and despised by everyone.

Let's wait and see if a miracle can happen. Toyokawa Yushin is not so quick to make a judgment.

When you have enough money, you can achieve what ordinary people consider to be "miracles", and obtain information and channels that are inaccessible to ordinary people.

You and Toyokawa Sadaharu rushed to the Cancer Research Institute Ariake Hospital, a top-tier hospital with an 85% survival rate for stage one lung cancer surgery and a 63% survival rate for stage two. The director personally greeted you and helped you analyze Toyokawa Mizuho's condition.

[Every profession has its specialties. He has good news for you: a targeted drug has been found to be a match for Mizuho Toyokawa's genes.]

Targeted drugs are chemotherapy drugs with fewer side effects. They are less painful and have a rapid onset, relieving Mizuho Toyokawa's symptoms. However, there is a risk of drug resistance.

He offered two options: chemotherapy followed by targeted therapy, and targeted therapy followed by chemotherapy, as he was concerned that Toyokawa Mizuho's body wouldn't be able to withstand the chemotherapy in the later stages.

The second option is to start with targeted conservative treatment and then wait for the maturity of CAR-T immune cell therapy technology. This is a gamble on whether this technology can mature before Mizuho Toyokawa develops drug resistance, thus curing her lung cancer once and for all.

"Let's ask Mizuho herself first."

Faced with such a major decision, Toyokawa Sadaharu lost his composure again and prepared to ask his daughter for her opinion.

Fengchuan Yuxin noticed a hint of hesitation in the dean's eyes, patted Lao Deng on the shoulder, and reminded him: "Don't be impatient, the dean still has something to say, it's not too late to listen to him."

"What other methods are there? Dean, just tell me. As long as it's something I can do!"

Faced with such a promise, the dean told them a more direct way.

By spending a lot of money, a professional team will be established to tailor a CAR-T treatment plan for Mizuho Toyokawa, with a high probability of curing her cancer early.

Toyokawa Sadaharu secretly cursed the dean for hiding things. Does he look like someone who is short of money?

It was not until the other party told him a rough figure that he realized that only a very small number of wealthy people could afford such an astronomical figure, and he was one of them.

In order to save his daughter from pain and for her to live a healthy life forever, Toyokawa Sadaharu chose the second option without hesitation, investing money in this field and forming a professional team to solve all problems.

"Is this the end?"

Yushin Toyokawa walked behind his father-in-law, thinking about this question. His uneasiness did not decrease at all. He did not like the feeling of leaving his fate to others and waiting for the result.

He returned to the dean, who was surprised to see him and invited him to sit down again.

"This plan is still immature. Theoretically, its success rate is much higher than other plans. After all, it's a customized treatment. You know what customized is. It can't be used on other patients after it's used."

The dean tapped the table rhythmically to emphasize the value of this plan.

"But the problem is that no matter how good the theoretical success rate is, it all depends on the surgeons. Only the best surgical team can achieve the ideal results."

"I understand. Can you tell me in detail what areas of experience this plan requires?"

"I've seen a lot of family members like yours, so it wouldn't hurt to talk to you."

The dean heard that Yuxin Toyokawa wanted to join. It was very common for many family members to spend a lot of time learning pathology for their loved ones. He pointed out a direction, but did not have too high expectations. He just wanted to find something related for Yuxin Toyokawa to do to relieve his anxiety.

Toyokawa Yushin left the dean's office, thinking about some issues.

In the early stages of the simulation, he spent extra energy to maintain excellent academic performance and master good musical skills. The physical potential of the men in this world is much greater than he imagined.

"I'm asking, can this physique give me some assurance? If I focus on something all day, will I die suddenly?"

[The original intention of this skill design is to allow you to endlessly surpass others, referred to as Superman, and not to be used in other aspects.]

[Calculating the answer for the host. ]

[Women change with time, but kidneys remain strong (Cooldown 1 hour): Using this in other areas will grant additional talent bonuses. The more energy you expend, the faster your lifespan decreases, allowing you to maintain peak condition permanently.]

That means I can study hard for 23 hours a day and still finish the simulation early?

Toyokawa Yushin was overjoyed. Compared to those flying skills, the strong ones were indeed full of surprises. If he couldn't get this physique after the simulation, the simulator's father would be in trouble.

"Give me a visual lifespan countdown."

Remaining lifespan: 70 years

Oh my god, such a body can become a hundred-year-old mountain, a top-level skill. The desire for this skill gave Toyokawa Yushin another shot in the arm to carry out the action of "My Struggle".

At this time, he was not aware of one fact: he overestimated his willpower and underestimated the strength of his plan.

People cannot run at full speed all the time.

Toyokawa Sadaharu was waiting for his return next to the Maybach and handed him the phone as soon as he came up.

Toyokawa Sadaharu lowered his voice and said, "You talk to them. I... don't have the courage to speak."

Compared to his weak self, the decisive and courageous Toyokawa Yushin is obviously more qualified to speak. He is worthy of being his successor, the one who carries the hope for the development of the entire family.

Toyokawa Yushin nodded. He didn't have as many concerns as his father-in-law, so he dialed the phone directly.

On the other side, the cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Mizuho Toyokawa struggled to support her body with her palms and reached out towards the phone.

A hand reached the phone faster than her, and Toyokawa Shoko picked up the phone, answered the call for her and handed it to her.

Mu gently supported Mizuho Toyokawa's back with both hands to prevent her from leaning back and hurting her back.

The three women's most trusted voice rang out, and the nurse in the ward heard three different exhalations at the same time.

Toyokawa Yushin's voice is like a safe house in a tide of corpses, a flashlight in an abandoned hospital, and an SM safe word, which always makes them feel inexplicably at ease.

"Is it Ruisui, Xiangzi, or Xiaomu?"

"It's me, Yushin. What did the doctor say?" Mizuho Toyokawa responded to him.

"There are two options..."

After listening to his explanation, Mizuho Toyokawa said without hesitation, "Youxin must want me to choose the second option. I'm also afraid of pain, so let's go with the second option."

"Well, my father-in-law and I will do our best to treat you. You just need to eat, drink, and watch some dramas and you'll be fine. Xiangzi didn't disturb your rest, did he? You can rely on Xiaomu more. She's much more sensible than our daughter. I'll ask some nurses to take care of you when you're transferred to Youming Hospital."

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about! I've obviously taken good care of Mom, but you're always partial to Mu. Am I your biological child? Am I your biological child?!"

Xiangzi got angry and snatched the phone and attacked, blurting out some words without thinking.

She immediately regretted what she said. She looked up and found that Mizuho Toyokawa and Mutsu were staring at her, their gazes were very eye-catching.

Come on, speak up! She frantically urged the other person to continue what he was saying.

"If I weren't your biological child, I wouldn't be so disgusted. But it's really giving me a headache that you're your biological child and you're still so naive. Just take good care of your mother. I still have to deal with things at the hospital."

The other party was silent for a second before picking up the call. In her experience, that short second felt like a year.

"Goodbye, stinky dad!"

Shoko Toyokawa muttered something and handed the phone back to her mother.

During the handover process, Mizuho Toyokawa's fingertips touched her daughter's hand, and she was a little puzzled as to why Xiaoxiang's hand had become so cold.

Mu, who was standing aside, lowered her head and looked at her shaking short legs, without letting the other two notice the curve of her lips. She knew that there was only one place where she could laugh and cry freely, and it was obviously not here. An inappropriate laugh would bring trouble to everyone.

What Xiang said reminded her that the real Asano Yushin's surname was not Toyokawa, but she didn't like the surname Asano very much either. How about the surname Wakaba?

"I'm going to the vending machine to buy a drink. Is it mango juice?"

"No, tomato juice will do."

Shoko Toyokawa made an OK gesture and quickly left the ward, leaving only her mother and Qingmei.

After she closed the door of the ward, she walked a few steps with the help of the wall and then collapsed to the ground, her vest soaked with cold sweat.

She almost ruined the simulated worldview. What nonsense was she talking about? No, it wasn't her problem. It was that the other party was not immersed enough in this worldview. Asano Yushin was really not the kind of person who could be content with what he was given. Couldn't she just remember that she was from the Toyokawa family?

She stood up again, with a hint of ferocity in her eyes, and walked slowly towards the beverage vending machine.

22. You really have to work as hard as if you were selling your soul

With the best nursing team and the most comfortable luxury ward, Mizuho Toyokawa's treatment is proceeding smoothly.

The new ward looked like an ordinary room, complete with a hallway, washroom, and a spacious bathroom. The bedroom contained two double beds, and floor-to-ceiling windows provided ample light and a good view. The bedside tables appeared to be anything but ordinary hotel rooms, but when they were opened, a hidden gem was revealed: an oxygen port and a suction port, surrounded by sophisticated white instruments.

This ward is very satisfying. If Xiangzi and Hemu come to visit Toyokawa Mizuho and don't want to go home, they can sleep directly next to Mizuho. They don't have to sleep on the chair like other family members.

You told Toyokawa Sadaharu that you wanted to join the car-t team and temporarily leave the Toyokawa Group. He was adamantly against it at first, telling you to spend more time with Mizuho.

You promised to visit her every day before getting his consent. Despite this, he still didn't think you were a good person. Spending half the day at the hospital and the other half studying would definitely end up in a situation where you couldn't please either side.

You chose to return to university and enroll in graduate school at the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine. You began working tirelessly to complete your research proposal and graduation project, with your sights set on clinical medicine.

Your daily schedule isn't ideal. You spend time with your wife, spend some time with your daughters, and finally, in the quiet of the night, study by lamplight in a field you've never touched before.

Yushin Toyokawa has no interest in clinical medicine. The only positive feedback he gets is the sense of accomplishment from improving his skills. He studies boring materials and reads other people's translations.

The additional talent bonus to physique is still very useful and improves very quickly.

He has six alarms set on his phone, but without them he can't sense the passage of time.

"It's time to eat." He exhaled a breath of foul air. His daily routine had become completely messed up, or rather, he only worked and did not rest.

I took a quick shower and went out to get takeout. After eating hurriedly, I continued to study.

The room he rented at school was very big, and because his two daughters sometimes came to sleep with him, they had two separate rooms.

He hadn't thought about the alarm clock when he rented the house, and the soundproofing wasn't very good.
