Bai Ye and Su Man stayed in Rome for a week with others. Kaka's body gradually stabilized, experiencing only one rejection incident that didn’t require medication; he lived like any normal person would—breathing calmly under high-pressure circumstances without losing control. The exception was when he was with Wu Shuang.

No one mentioned separating them.

Bai Ye and Su Man never suggested it, nor did Wu Shuang or Kaka bring up the topic themselves. If they truly couldn’t be together, Bai Ye and Su Man would inform them; their silence implied that they could stay together.

There was no need for special consideration since Kaka and Wu Shuang had been together all these years anyway, despite a lack of declarations of love from either side. Despite the one-sided pursuit by Wu Shuang, they interacted like lovers. While Wu Shuang did accelerate Kaka’s heart failure, leaving him would have even worse consequences—likely leading to more severe complications. Given his known heart condition and fear of not having much time left, he had avoided making promises to Wu Shuang for years out of concern for her loneliness without him. Despite this, they continued their relationship like lovers, and although Kaka knew it was wrong, he persisted for a decade and could continue doing so.

Elders wouldn’t bear the thought of separating them either; these years had been hard on everyone involved, and after finally being able to be together now, no one would want to break up. Furthermore, if Kaka were capable of breaking up with Wu Shuang long ago, he would’ve done so instead of maintaining this ambiguous relationship that gave her hope while also causing despair. Considering Wu Shuang’s strong personality, she wouldn’t willingly part from him.

It was precisely because of Wu Shuang's dedication and courage in love that they had reached today; if anyone else were involved, their relationship would've faded long ago, possibly turning into lifelong mutual resentment instead of friendship. This is what made them unique.

Wu Shuang considered separation but merely thought about it. Seeing Kaka erased any such thoughts. If he didn’t love her, that would be one thing, but since he did, she wouldn't let go no matter what.

Chu Li and Rong Yan are worried about Kaka's artificial heart, which is a source of pain for them. After all, it's man-made and not perfect in function; they genuinely fear that one day Kaka might suddenly leave them.

Bai Ye has also mentioned the possibility of this happening.

Perhaps one morning upon waking up, Kaka would already be cold, as there is no way to predict how his body will change and it’s not possible to track him at all times. Sometimes when a problem arises, finding Bai Ye for help might be too late.

In comparison to Chu Li and Rong Yan's concerns, Kaka appears much more optimistic.

This time they were lucky; surgery wasn’t necessary. He had thought he would need heart surgery to replace his old one, but it turned out that Bai Ye’s new medicine could control the condition and restore his health. He is very grateful for this artificial heart inside him.

Thanks to this heart, he can see Wushuang for another day.

Bai Ye said that if used monthly with the new medicine, the heart could last up to twenty years, or at least ten years. With these extra years, there is time given to Su Man and Bai Ye to think of ways to help Kaka return to normal.

Chu Li had privately asked Bai Ye about the original issues with Kaka’s heart. Given that they are decades-long brothers and know each other well, if Bai Ye kept the original heart, there must be a purpose behind it.

White Night sighed and said, "Chu Li, I don't want to hide this from you. Indeed, my intention is to replace his original heart, but as you know, it's not easy. Su Man only has a 10% chance of success; she won’t operate unless there’s at least a 70% chance of success. Five years ago, Su Man said there was only a 10% chance, and that hasn't changed in the past five years. We've hit a bottleneck and it's not easy to break through it. If we could overcome this obstacle, then there would really be hope of replacing Kaka’s heart. However, the chances are slim, so I don’t want to give you false hope, lest you get disappointed later."

Chu Li did have some hope despite White Night's heavy tone. There was still a chance that Kaka could have his own heart back. He strongly disliked the artificial one inside him.

It felt like a time bomb.

"Don’t worry too much," said White Night. "Hasn’t he been carrying this heart for twelve years People can still live normally with it as long as they take good care of themselves and maintain their health. However, I suggest Kaka retire early and stop working for the First Terror Organization. Aside from Wu Shuang’s high-pressure environment, that also led to his rapid heart failure. We’re not short of money; Kaka can enjoy a happy life with Wu Shuang in retirement. There's no need for him to worry about the First Terror Organization."

Chu Li nodded. He had thought about this issue after learning about Kaka’s condition. It would be better if he retired early since there were only two years left anyway. The leader of the First Terror Organization was not an easy job, and it was a genuinely high-pressure environment. Even though Kaka seemed calm, sometimes even he couldn’t handle the pressure.

"I’ll talk to him," said Chu Li calmly. "If I had known how bad his condition is from the start, I wouldn't have trained him for the First Terror Organization in the first place. Mu Han and Bruno are competent; Tian Yu has also grown up now. There’s no harm in Kaka retiring early. You should’ve told me about it earlier."

"Sorry!" White Night said apologetically, "I’m at a loss with Kaka. Honestly speaking, you really don’t need to worry too much about him; he came to see me yesterday looking completely calm and asked if I could still perform the operation. Look at your son—how composed he is! He’s asking for Wu Shuang even in this state, which amused me all day."

Chu Li was embarrassed.

So embarrassing...

Bai Ye smiled upon recalling, "Yesterday, just as we got up to take a walk in the garden, he came looking for us. Su Man heard about it and laughed too. Not to mention, Wushuang used to provoke him countless times before, but he never asked back then. It seems once one's feelings are revealed, they can't help themselves."

Chu Li thought this was typical schadenfreude; seeing Bai Ye laugh made it even more obvious. However, his son really is a genius, and he really has the nerve to ask such questions. Bai Ye said, "What's there to be surprised about Ye San used to ask even more frequently then, as if not doing so would lead to death."

Not every man can compare with Ye San in his youth.

Chu Li remained silent but asked with interest, "So he could"

To be honest, this question piqued his interest as well.
