lover’s eyes, which is why he favored her.But she didn’t like being treated as a substitute."Don't leave me." He muttered repeatedly, his face pale. Warmth stared at him in a daze; it turned out that...A Replacement Wife for the President, Complete 673

"No!" Bai Ye said bitterly. "The situation is far more complicated than that. Kaka's condition is also much more complex and different from ordinary heart failure. There are many intricate factors involved here which you wouldn't understand. In summary, things have reached this point now. If the new medicine doesn't work, we'll need to resort to a heart transplant again...

Rong Yan felt heartache. It seemed that Bai Ye was Kaka's safeguard. Should anything happen to Bai Ye, then Kaka would be in trouble too. After all, Bai Ye is several years older than Kaka and what if something happened to him after he passed away

Thinking long-term, it would be so pitiful for a son who always relied on an artificial heart to survive.

Bai Ye looked at Chu Li and said heavily, "Sorry!"

Sometimes, one couldn't do anything to stop many things from happening. He wasn't a miracle-working doctor either, and there were some illnesses he could not cure even if he wanted to. Sometimes, when he tried his best to save Kaka's life, it felt quite helpless.

"I know you've done your best," Chu Li said.

The living room was filled with sorrow as Wu Shuang asked absentmindedly, "Am I the main reason for his rapid heart failure"

Bai Ye nodded. "Indeed."

Wu Shuang smiled and bit her lip without speaking, feeling as if something in front of her had been shattered, leaving her unable to breathe. An artificial heart could never match the real thing, just like how a robot couldn't compare with a human.

What should she do And what about Kaka

Would it be this way for their entire lives

Kaka woke up and finally was out of danger. His condition had stabilized, which eased the minds of Chu Li and Rong Yan and others. Ye Chen and Cheng Anya called to inquire and comfort him; they knew how it felt to lose a daughter.

Ye Feimo had long known about Kaka's health condition but hadn't expected this sudden collapse since Kaka always seemed healthy, even with his artificial heart showing no signs of discomfort. Actually, Kaka was almost like any other normal person except that he couldn’t experience strong emotions. This time, it must have been a shock to him.

Given the circumstances in Rome, it certainly had something to do with Wushuang.

When Kaka woke up, his parents and Chu Chu were by his side; the air was filled with the scent of roses. He was still in Ye Family's castle, and Baiye was also there. Upon seeing Rong Yan’s swollen eyes, he knew that he couldn't keep his illness a secret anymore.

He had concealed his condition for over ten years now but could no longer do so.

He didn’t want anyone to know and have them worry, yet he couldn’t continue hiding it.

"Mommy!" Kaka sat up. There was no discomfort in his chest; ignoring the artificial heart, most of the time, he was like any other normal person—able to breathe and work without issues.

It was only at some special times that he felt different from others.

Rong Yan held onto his hand tightly while Chu Chu sobbed, calling out to her brother. Kaka smiled gently, ruffling Chu Chu's hair. "You silly girl, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying" Chu Chu’s tears fell even faster as she suddenly hugged Kaka.

The family was in a heavy mood.

Baiye left the room to give them privacy. As soon as he stepped out, Su Man asked, "How is it"

"Very stable." Su Man nodded; they had spent eight years researching this new medicine and conducted countless tests to ensure that Kaka could survive and that the new drug would be effective. They had put in a lot of effort.

If it could be of use, Su Man felt that it was worth it.

"We must find a way; this can't go on forever. We cannot spend our whole lives by Kaka's side," Bai Ye said heavily. "If there is another such emergency situation, we might not have time to save him."

"Each person has their own fate," Su Man said. "We can only do our best; the rest is beyond our control."

Bai Ye sighed. "Decades of brotherhood, seeing Chu Li like this pains me so much. I've always treated Kaka and those kids as if they were my own children. If anything happens... Right, how's your research going No progress yet"

Su Man shook her head. "No progress; it's frustrating."

She had been frustrated over the matter of Kaka for years.

"If your research succeeds, perhaps it could allow Kaka to live a normal life," Bai Ye said. Su Man shook her head, replying with just one word: difficult. Because it was so difficult, they kept silent about it to avoid giving Chu Li false hope that would later disappoint him.

It might have been better to keep everything hidden from the start.

Wu Shuang lay alone in her room with her diary, unable to write a single word. She knew Kaka had woken up and was fine; the stone in her heart had dropped, but even so, she was still very worried.

The thought of such a special heart within his body made her sad.

Kaka, what should I do

She wanted to see Kaka, yet feared that he might be uncomfortable with her if he had just woken up. She had seen him struggle to control his emotions when they were together; no wonder he was ambivalent and unwilling to accept her.

She didn't blame Kaka at all; instead, she felt grateful to him. Over the past decade, he had given her so many memories. If it were any other man, knowing that being with her would bring such pain, they would have avoided her and even chosen to erase their memories of her completely. They wouldn't still be meeting up occasionally and chatting with her. Wu Shuang wiped away tears from her eyes—though there weren’t any—and inexplicably felt the urge to cry.

She wrote a passage in her diary.

I always like kissing you, Kaka. But every time I kiss you, how much pain does your heart endure

In a bad mood, she threw away her diary irritably and decided not to write anymore. After all, it was seeing her diary that had made him so uncomfortable. She wouldn't write any more lest he feel even sadder.

Mo Baixue entered the room: "Sis, Kaka's awake now. Why don't you go see how he is"

"Let me wait until his condition stabilizes," Wu Shuang said coolly. "I wouldn't want to meet him if it would make him sad."

"I thought you'd run away."

Wu Shuang said firmly, smiling at Mo Baixue: "Why would I This is my home. There's no way I could leave."

Moe Baixue replied, "I don't know either. But I would pray that Uncle Baiye can find a cure for him, so he can run and jump like an ordinary person without having to suffer so much."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm praying for," Wu Shuang said.

Moe Baixue continued: "Uncle Baiye says his condition is basically stable now. It’s no different from how it used to be; there’s nothing out of the ordinary. So don’t look so gloomy all the time, just think of Kaka as he was before."

"Baixue, I’m not you—I can't act like everything's fine when it isn’t.s. She passed the audition and Gu Yiting also tried out, but she has been getting closer to the young master of Haiyuan recently. That's why I'm worried...""I get it," Ye Fei Mo said calmly. Cai Xiao...
