Why hadn't Lu Chengfeng's condition improved, instead it worsened significantly?
Over there, Lu's father was flustered as he caught Lu's mother. He pinched her philtrum with his thumb, and the doctor hurried over to help, calling for a nurse to bring some warm water.
After the chaos, Lu's mother finally opened her eyes. She had no interest in drinking the warm water handed by the doctor, and grabbing Lu Chengfeng's father's clothes, she burst into tears.
"What about Chengfeng? He's still so young, he hasn't even married or had children yet."
Which parent doesn't want to watch their child settle down and succeed? Now, they were facing a parent's worst nightmare—outliving their child.
Lu Chengfeng never disclosed the specifics of his illness to them just as he never did with Lin Man, choosing to bear everything himself.
He didn't want everyone to count the days as he did.
