Kakak was suffering from heart failure, and Fang Jiaqi had been taking care of him for many years. She knew how to prolong his life and keep his failing heart functioning. After several hours of emergency treatment, they managed to save his life.

Chu Li and Rong Yan wished Bai Ye and Su Man could sprout wings and fly straight to Rome.

Mou Xiaobai silenced the hospital staff so that they wouldn't leak out any information. The artificial heart had been successfully transplanted into a human body, and such incredible technology would undoubtedly shock the entire medical community if it were to become public knowledge.

After waiting until dusk, Su Man and Bai Ye finally arrived late in the evening. Bai Ye was carrying a small locked briefcase with him, while Su Man looked unwell, as though she had fallen ill herself. Chu Li and Rong Yan felt like they were seeing a miracle when they saw them. Su Man did not enter the intensive care unit; only Bai Ye went inside.

Su Man was exhausted and sat on a chair with her eyes closed, taking a rest.

Mou Jue asked, "Are you sick"

Su Man nodded. Ye Wei reached out to touch Su Man's forehead; it felt quite hot—Su Man had a fever. Rong Yan seemed apologetic; Su Man must have developed a fever on the way over, otherwise Doctor Bai wouldn't have allowed her to travel to Rome while ill.

Chu Li asked Su Man, "What's wrong with Kakak's heart"

"Ask Baiye," Su Man threw the question to Baiye and then closed the door to rest. "I'm not feeling well, don't bother me."

Moxiaobai originally wanted to provoke him but seeing that he was indeed unwell, he could only give up on the idea. Although Miss Su is beautiful, when she gets angry, it's truly terrifying; no one would be foolish enough to provoke Su Man’s anger unless they wished for an early death.

Rongyan also knew about Su Man's temper—he wouldn’t say a single word even if he were sick and didn't want to hear anything either. It was likely that he sat there waiting out of concern that Baiye couldn't handle it alone; otherwise, he would have left long ago to rest.

Everyone had numerous questions in their minds. Su Man knew the truth but hadn’t given them any explanation, leaving everyone anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Rongyan and Chu Li were most concerned about Kaka’s health, while Wu Shuang was worried as well, his heart fluttering up and down.

...

An hour later, Kaka was pushed into the intensive care unit. Baiye had rushed back overnight without rest; his dark circles were quite heavy. Upon seeing everyone's solemn mood, he said, "Ah, it seems I'm getting old, there’s no avoiding it now. After staying up for two nights straight, my body can't take it anymore. Back in the day, I could stay awake for seven days and nights without sleeping to kill a tiger."

Getting old

Su Man and Baiye, who know how to take care of themselves and are doctors by profession, always researching strange things, couldn't possibly age. They looked much younger than Mo Jue and Chu Li.

Chu Li clenched his fist and punched him, saying, "Damn it, such a big issue, yet you kept it from me Are you trying to get yourself killed"

Bai Ye looked innocent as he blocked Chu Li's fist and smiled, saying, "It was Kaka who didn't want to tell you all. Moreover, would you have been able to sleep well knowing about this over the years This is his filial piety. With me worrying for you guys, it doesn’t matter whether or not you know. He’ll definitely keep Kaka alive, even if he has to struggle to stay that way."

Rong Yan didn't care much about these details; she was only worried about Kaka’s condition, "Bai Ye, how is Kaka Is everything okay now Wasn’t it heart failure Do we need a transplant Isn’t this very dangerous"

Bai Ye replied, "If the new medicine works, there shouldn't be any need for a heart transplant."

Ye Wei squinted her eyes in disbelief and asked, "What do you mean by new medicine You can use something that hasn’t been tested on him"

Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders helplessly, saying, "What else can I do A heart transplant is a last resort. If Kaka’s body can't handle it now, he’ll definitely die for sure. Once he stops breathing, there's no way to revive him. I can’t bring the dead back to life. At least give me some hope. This medicine was developed specifically for Kaka over eight years. If it works, we won't have to keep doing heart transplants all the time in the future. To be honest, artificial hearts aren’t easy to maintain; if his heart suddenly fails and there’s no available donor organ at that moment, then there’ll be serious trouble. It's better with this medicine since it can prolong the life of an artificial heart. Normally, a heart would last five years under normal circumstances, but with this drug, its efficacy could extend up to twenty."

Bai Ye paused and said seriously, "This heart was transplanted just two years ago; normally, there shouldn’t be such rapid failure. What has he been doing recently Other than an irregular heartbeat causing the heart to deteriorate so quickly, it’s impossible for this to happen so fast."

There must have been a lot of external factors that caused Kaka's heart to fail so quickly.

Wu Shuang turned slightly pale. It was her fault; she was the one at the root of the problem. Bai Ye seemed to guess and looked at Wu Shuang with a faint smile, "Child, I really wish I could give you a healthy boyfriend, but unfortunately, it’s beyond my ability for now."

Wushuang had no idea what she should say, or rather, there was nothing she could say.

Rongyan's face was covered in tears as Chu Li asked solemnly, "Is he going to have to rely on an artificial heart for the rest of his life"

Baiye hesitated before deciding it would be too cruel not to tell him this fact. However, she couldn't hide it from him either, "Yes, he will live a difficult life because there is a certain difference between an artificial heart and a real one. The artificial hearts I can currently research have a limited lifespan and cannot withstand excessively heavy heartbeats; otherwise, they would quickly deteriorate. Maintaining Kaka's training, running, and the occasional high-stress situations should be manageable."

Baiye glanced at Wushuang, "But he can't endure frequent rapid heartbeat increases. I warned him about this when he got his artificial heart. Thankfully, Kaka had almost completed his special training before getting it; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to participate in such high-intensity sports."

Wushuang understood what Baiye was talking about. Was this the reason why Kaka couldn't be with her

It truly was heartbreaking and helpless.

She could understand that feeling, how she felt her heart race every time he was near. She thought it beautiful, but what she deemed as beauty turned out to be too much for Kaka to bear, which is why he had rejected her.

He should have never met her from the start, then these past dozen years wouldn't have caused him so much pain and suffering.

"Is there really no way to live normally" Rongyan asked tearfully. The thought of always relying on an artificial heart made her feel distressed.but couldn't bring herself to do it.The cold war was on.Now looking at his silent phone, she wished it would ring; wishing he would call asking why she hadn’t returned home yet or why she hadn’t made...
