All the Protagonists I’ve Scummed Came To Me For Revenge Chapter 28: Who Is Abnormal (10)

Yes, when she dies…

The better she treats Xia Yu now, the more painful and sicker Xia Yu will be after she dies.

If she loves Xia Yu, then she should let go, choose to leave after visiting Xia Yu, and no longer appear in Xia Yu’s world.

Only in this way, her death will not affect Xia Yu and will not make her condition worse.

But she can’t do it!

She is a person!

Everyone is selfish!

She is not a saint. She has her own selfish desires. She is very selfish. She simply cannot leave Xia Yu!

Ke Yao fell silent, and Father Xia’s tone softened a bit: “Ke Yao, what you need to do now is go to the hospital for treatment.”

“Tsk~” Ke Yao smiled, looked at him and said, “What’s the use? My disease is incurable. I know it very well. Going to the hospital will only keep me alive. At most, it will give me another year or two.”

“I’ve advised you not to try your best before!” Father Xia said in a heavier tone. After his daughter became a vegetable, Ke Yao’s appearance made him go from rejection to gradual acceptance, and finally he treated her as half a daughter. “Don’t try your best, don’t try your best. You’re simply courting death! You don’t listen to anyone. You just do what you want no matter who advises you. It’s God’s blessing that you didn’t die suddenly. Now that you’re like this, who can you blame?”

She works intensively every day without a break all year round. Sometimes she just takes a short nap before getting up to continue working. If it were someone else, she would have died of sudden death long ago due to her behavior of overdrawing her life and squandering her health.

After Xia Yu got into trouble, Ke Yao never relaxed. She was like a spinning top that never stopped.

She’s lucky to be alive now.

Before, Father Xia thought that he would not be surprised if he heard that Ke Yao died suddenly at work one day.

She wasn’t working, she was simply courting death, using work to numb herself from thinking about anything.

It was also because of this that he, who should have hated Ke Yao and disliked Ke Yao as the person who indirectly caused him to lose his daughter, actually felt guilty towards Ke Yao.

Ke Yao’s pain was no less than his.

I can only say that fate plays tricks on us. We were relatives who lived together day and night, but I was careless and didn’t notice her problem, which eventually led to things turning out like that.

“That’s not what I meant.” Ke Yao said calmly, “If I don’t do it, I’ll never get the answer.”

Even if it’s completely meaningless.

Ke Yao was indeed seeking death. She was in despair because she found that she could not find the reason why Xia Yu was unconscious. If she could not even find the cause, let alone any treatment.

When she received the physical examination report, she felt relieved and liberated, but what followed was the news that Xia Yu had woken up.

Fate played another joke on her.

But she was already numb, and her only worry was Xia Yu. She was conflicted, struggling, expectant, and desperate.

The darkness in her heart made her drag Xia Yu into the water.

The love that she couldn’t let go made her let go and leave.

She didn’t want to choose either.

“Destiny has been kind to me by fulfilling my regret before I die.” Ke Yao said against her will.

“I really can’t understand what you young people are doing.”

Father Xia sighed.

Either tell Xia Yu the situation directly or leave Xia Yu, but Ke Yao has been hesitating and she wants to keep it secret.

But can such a thing be kept secret?

“I just want to spend the last few moments with her.” The data from the laboratory has come out. She has calculated that if she wants to change the research direction and develop an effective medicine, it will take at least five or six years, and developing a complete cure is even more distant.

Trying to find a complete cure will take even longer and may yield nothing.

“Have you ever thought about the future? Or do you think your aunt and I can change her mind and prevent her condition from getting worse?”

“I’ll find a suitable opportunity to let her know.” Ke Yao said, “She’s very smart and already has her suspicions. I’m just… not ready yet.”

What will happen to Xia Yu after she knows her condition?

Ke Yao longed for her to care about her, but was also afraid that she cared too much about her. The conflicting feelings made her at a loss, so she tried to hide it as much as possible.

“Xiaoyu!”

Mother Xia’s loud shout came from the room upstairs. Ke Yao’s face changed and she immediately stood up and ran upstairs, followed closely by Father Xia.

Inside the room, Xia Yu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly having lost all sense. Mother Xia, on the other side, looked at her daughter in panic and tried to push her, but Xia Yu didn’t respond.

Father Xia: “What’s going on?”

Ke Yao’s heart tightened as she reached out to grab Xia Yu’s hand and hurriedly said, “Let’s go to the hospital!”

There is clearly nothing wrong with the inspection report!

The three of them hurriedly took the person downstairs and drove to the hospital quickly, driving very fast for fear that any delay would delay the treatment.

Mother Xia wiped her tears and said, “We were talking just now, but suddenly Xiaoyu said she felt a little dizzy. I asked her to sit for a while, but she took two steps and fell down.”

Ke Yao was extremely confused and held Xia Yu’s hand tightly. Now only her body temperature could help Ke Yao calm down her panic temporarily.

It’s going to be alright, absolutely alright!

She was full of energy just now, how could something go wrong?

There’s no way anything can happen!

Ke Yao remembered that when Xia Yu was discovered, she was still breathing and was immediately rushed to the hospital for treatment. At that time, she had just lost too much blood and should have woken up once her condition stabilized, but seven years had passed!

Once she closed her eyes, she slept for seven years!

Ke Yao couldn’t control her panic, it was spreading in her heart. She couldn’t accept that kind of ending, couldn’t accept Xia Yu sleeping for another seven years.

After being sent to the hospital, the test results were quickly released, but the cause could not be found, just like how Xia Yu had been in a coma for many years for no apparent reason.

No way! Absolutely not!

Ke Yao felt desperate again. She felt that her knowledge was not enough and she couldn’t even figure out the reason. She could only watch everything happen without being able to reverse it.

“How is it?”

Ke Yao looked at the two anxious elders, her lips moving slightly, but she couldn’t speak. She lowered her head in despair and said painfully: “Her body functions are declining, and she is getting weaker for no apparent reason. If the situation can’t be curbed, she will be…”

Upon hearing Ke Yao’s words, Mother Xia took a step back, covering her face and crying, “How could this happen? What sin have I committed?”

I finally have hope, but it is so short-lived. It disappears just as it comes. This pain is suffocating.

Father Xia wasn’t in much better shape, but he was the pillar of the family, Mother Xia’s spiritual support. He closed his eyes in pain for a moment, trying to suppress his emotions: “Is there any way?”

“No, there is absolutely no way.” Ke Yao was present, and she was the first to see the data, so she knew very well that there was no way.

“We can’t even find the cause, let alone a treatment. Her disease is even more difficult to treat than mine. At least I have a case history, but Xiaoyu’s case doesn’t even have a reference.”

Father Xia asked, “Do you mean we can only wait for her to die?”

Ke Yao was silent.

Mother Xia asked, “Is there really no way? Is there no way at all?”

“…I don’t know.” Ke Yao took a deep breath and said, “I will put the project on hold and focus on studying Xiaoyu’s illness.”

Xia Yu only felt that her eyes went dark, and then she lost her intuition, as if she had just fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw the ceiling of the hospital again.

The smell of disinfectant in the air made her sober up a little. Xia Yu sat up, holding her forehead with one hand, and remembered what had happened before.

I seemed to have fainted just now.

But I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere. She thought of something and covered her heart with her hand.

I remembered the previous world.

I shouldn’t…

She looked up at the door and saw Ke Yao and her parents walk in. Her parents were silent, and Ke Yao forced a smile on her face: “Are you okay?”

“Do I not have much time left to live?”

Xia Yu spoke very bluntly, while also observing the expressions of her parents and Ke Yao. Seeing the pain and surprise in Ke Yao’s eyes, her heart sank.

System, what do you want to do?

You set a deadline, but it seems like I don’t need to do anything. What do you want from me?

She didn’t believe that any ‘good things’ would happen to her for no reason. If the system asked her to do so, she could temporarily let down her guard, but if there was no such request, she would become alert, vigilant and suspicious.

Absolutely nothing happens without a reason.

What is the purpose of the system?

What does it want from me? Or what does it want to get from me?

Ke Yao said softly, “Don’t think too much.”

“I know my own body well.” Xia Yu smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the fact that she didn’t have much time left to live. “There’s no need to hide it from me. Tell me how long I have left.”

Mother Xia covered her face and cried again, while Father Xia comforted his wife. The ward fell into a silent silence.

“Less than a year.”

Xia Yu’s eyelids twitched. She didn’t expect that her time in this world was reduced so drastically, and she couldn’t figure out what standard the time given by the system was based on.

“I see.”

“Xiaoyu, don’t be sad, I will find a way, I will definitely find a way to save you!”

“Can you please leave me alone for a while?”

Being able to travel through these six worlds as quickly as possible may not be a bad thing, but may be a good thing.

She couldn’t wait to see the system. She wanted to ask what the system was trying to do, why it had made so many settings without telling her, and why it hadn’t appeared yet.

Ke Yao left the ward in a depressed mood. Her already ugly face became even uglier. She looked up at Xia Yu’s parents and said, “Transfer to another hospital?

Transfer to the hospital under my name. I’ll call some experts to discuss it together.”

Upon hearing this, Father Xia said, “Your body can no longer withstand such high-intensity exercise.”

“It’s all worth it if I can save her.”

Father Xia looked at Ke Yao’s determined expression and fell silent. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult to find a treatment method, but he had no way to persuade Ke Yao.
