Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen shrank his neck, which meant that the problem wasn't too serious.

Ye Chen then ignored it and drove away.

An hour later, Ye Chen drove to the county hospital parking lot.

After calling his mother again to confirm the room number, Ye Chen hurriedly went upstairs.

When he arrived outside the ward, a group of doctors were just coming out of the ward.

Ye Chen had keen hearing and heard the words "tumor" from afar.

This is a multi-person ward, but I don't know who they're talking about!

After the doctors left, Ye Chen entered the ward. His father was in the first bed by the door.

At this moment, Ye's father was leaning against the bed, his face was a little sallow and thin, his eyes were sunken and his cheekbones were high.

Ye's mother stood to the side, looking somewhat at a loss.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here!" Ye Chen called out.

Only then did Ye's mother come to her senses, forcing a smile: "Chen'er, you're here. You must be tired from driving. Sit down and have some water!"

Ye's father opened his eyes, looked at Ye Chen, and smiled: "You silly boy, why did you come all this way? I'm being discharged from the hospital soon!"

"Mom, what did the doctor say?" Ye Chen asked his father, who was trying to appear cheerful.

"They said it might be a malignant lung tumor, and they want us to transfer to another hospital!" Ye's mother's expression darkened.

"Hey, you old woman, you just listen to their nonsense. You can only take three-tenths of what the doctor says seriously!" Mr. Ye grinned and waved his hand.

"Even now, you're still being stubborn. I told you to stop smoking a long time ago, but you keep smoking all day long—" Ye's mother choked up as she spoke.

Mr. Ye opened his mouth, but finally gave in: "Alright, I won't smoke anymore, okay?"

"Chen'er, go and get discharged from the hospital. Let's go home!" Ye's father said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, took his father's documents, and immediately went to complete the discharge procedures!

When he returned, Ye's parents were already tidied up and sitting at the foot of the bed waiting for him!

"It's all done, let's go home!" Ye Chen helped his father up.

With his current physical condition comparable to that of a professional athlete, helping Ye's father up was quite easy for him.

When he grabbed Ye's father's skinny arm, he felt a pang of unease.

What is the purpose of his constant travels?

They didn't even know their father was hospitalized!

"Dad, when did this start? Why didn't you tell me?" Ye Chen complained.

"Sigh, it's just because I'm afraid it will affect your work! You and Yuanyuan are in the prime of your careers, how can you be distracted!" Mr. Ye waved his hand.

"Your dad has been coughing for a long time. A month ago, his cough got really bad, and he even coughed up blood. We thought it would get better in a few days, but it just got worse. If I hadn't dragged him here, he wouldn't have even come to the hospital!" Mrs. Ye sighed.

Ye Chen calculated the time and estimated that he must have coughed up blood during their last conversation, but his mother still didn't tell him.

After thinking it over, Ye Chen realized that the reason his mother didn't tell him was ultimately because he had been too weak in the past and lacked the ability to provide backup.

If Ye's mother knew he had the ability to cover for him, she would never have hidden this from him.

"Dad, Mom, you shouldn't hide these things from me anymore. Our family isn't short of money now!" Ye Chen comforted the two elders.

What he actually meant was that he had some medicine that could cure diseases, and it should be effective.

But I was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so I laid the groundwork for them first.

"Chen'er, you, you got promoted?" Ye's mother looked at Ye Chen with some suspicion.

"Grandpa left behind many medical classics, and a company is very interested in some of the prescriptions. So I invested in the company using those prescriptions, and I get a good share of the profits every month!"

Ye Chen ultimately told a white lie.

Ye's parents were skeptical, so Ye Chen showed them the balance on his bank card, which made them more convinced.

The three arrived at the parking lot. Ye's father frowned as he looked at Ye Chen's car: "Ahem, I remember you didn't drive this one back last time!"

"This is one of the benefits the company provides, and there's also a house. You'll find out about these things later. Anyway, the money is from a clean source, so don't worry!" Ye Chen said, helping his father into the back seat of the car.

Ye's mother also got into the car and looked around: "This car isn't cheap, is it? It looks much better than your previous one, it must cost over ten thousand!"

"What do you know? This is called an Audi. Tens of thousands isn't enough; it'll cost hundreds of thousands. Of course, it's great!" Mr. Ye looked around and sighed, touching the seats with both hands.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Of course, their company needs to maintain its image, so the car they give away won't be bad!"

Ye Chen got into the driver's seat, closed the car door, and took out a medicinal pill, handing it to his father: "Dad, taking this pill might help with your condition!"

"Oh dear, could it be some kind of miraculous elixir or something? Cough cough cough!" Father Ye coughed violently after saying that.

Seeing this, Ye's mother quickly unscrewed the thermos and handed it to Ye's father, saying, "Stop talking, just eat!"

Father Ye took a sip of water, paused for a moment, and then swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

"Slow down, don't choke!" Ye's mother whispered, stroking Ye's father's back.

Ye Chen watched his father's reaction quietly, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Although he had great confidence in the medicine, he was still a little unsure because it was happening to his own family member.

It's almost certainly a malignant lung tumor; the doctors are just being conservative.

It's unclear what stage it's at, and we don't know if the anti-tumor pills are effective against malignant tumors.

Time passed slowly, and Mr. Ye leaned back in his seat, his expression gradually relaxing.

Just as Ye's mother was about to ask a question, Ye Chen made a shushing gesture.

Mr. Ye's breathing was steady; he seemed to be asleep!

It's clear that he hasn't had a good rest lately, and the serious illness has drained a lot of his energy.

Suddenly feeling relaxed, he fell asleep.

Ye Chen started the car and drove straight to his hometown. He drove as slowly as possible so that his father could get some rest.

It was almost 1 p.m. when they got back to their hometown.

Ye's father woke up at this time, probably because he was a little carsick after the long and winding journey.

Mr. Ye opened the car window to let in some fresh air and stretched.

"Phew—I actually fell asleep! It's been so long since I've slept this soundly!"

"How are you?" Ye's mother asked with concern.

"I feel very relaxed, and I can walk three miles in one breath!" Mr. Ye patted his chest.

He was full of energy and didn't look sick at all.

He's just skin and bones and looks a bit frail.

"Dad, why don't you get out of the car and run a couple of laps to see how effective the medicine is?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

Seeing that the medicine was effective and that Ye's father seemed to be cured, Ye Chen finally felt relieved.

"Hey kid, where did you get this medicine? It's so effective!" Mr. Ye asked in a good mood.
