Chapter 181: Chapter 182: Terminally Ill
The villa was immaculate, not a speck of dust in sight.
A few small cats slept lazily on the lawn, looking quite comfortable.
Hua Lvlan was lying on the sofa, her gaze somewhat vacant. She didn’t seem to want to pay them any mind.
"What’s wrong? Why couldn’t I get ahold of you before?" Zhang Rong asked, not minding her attitude.
"I went traveling..." Hua Lvlan’s voice was listless.
"Traveling is great. You’re at the university all day, it must get tiring," Zhang Rong said with a small smile. "This friend of mine wants to raise pheasants. Aren’t you in animal husbandry? You’re a famous professor, after all. Why don’t you teach him?"
"Not interested," Hua Lvlan refused without a second thought.
"Don’t be so quick to refuse..." Zhang Rong said. "Look, he’s a kid from the countryside. It’s not easy for him. Why don’t you just teach him?"
Hua Lvlan closed her eyes, as if she didn’t want to speak anymore.
Li Yang looked at the cats, then around the living room, and noticed some cat food had been packed up.
Just as he was thinking, a knock came from the front door.
Hua Lvlan suddenly jumped up and immediately went to open it.
At the door was a young couple, who peeked their heads inside.
"You’re here to adopt the cats, right?" Hua Lvlan asked them. "The cat food is all packed, and the cats are here. You can take a look. If you think they’re okay, you can adopt all of them. I only have one condition: you have to treat them well from now on and must never abandon them."
"Don’t worry, we love cats. We won’t."
Zhang Rong was a bit stunned. "What are you doing? Why are you giving the cats away? Don’t you love them?"
Zhang Rong knew her old classmate; she was uninterested in men, but she truly loved cats.
Why would she suddenly want to give her cats away?
Li Yang frowned and took a good look at Hua Lvlan.
In that instant, he understood.
’She doesn’t have long to live!’
’No wonder!’
"Excuse me, you two. I’m sorry, but these cats are no longer being given away!" Li Yang suddenly stepped forward and said to the young couple.
"Huh?" The young couple grew anxious. "What do you mean they’re not being given away anymore? We already had an agreement."
Hua Lvlan looked at Li Yang with disgust. "My family’s affairs are none of your business."
Li Yang said earnestly, "There’s really no need to give them away. It’s good for you to keep these cats, and they’re very well-behaved."
As he was speaking, the man from the couple’s phone went DING, as if he’d received a message.
Li Yang’s ring scanned it, and he saw the message on the screen.
He froze for a moment.
’Some cat lovers. Turns out they’re just cat sellers.’
’They want to get the cats from Hua Lvlan and then sell them.’
’Damn...’
"Get out!" Hua Lvlan flared up. "Get out of my house right now. You’re not welcome here."
Zhang Rong grew anxious. Hua Lvlan’s aversion to men had truly reached an extreme.
But Li Yang, without another word, suddenly stepped in front of the man and snatched his phone.
Then, he held the phone out in front of Hua Lvlan.
It was still on the chat screen.
The moment Hua Lvlan saw it, her expression changed completely.
"Get out!" she suddenly roared at the young couple. "How dare you lie to me! You wanted to sell my cats! Get the hell out!"
The couple was dumbfounded. The man pointed at Li Yang, gritting his teeth. "You... You just wait..."
After saying that, they were too ashamed to stay and quickly fled.
Hua Lvlan was furious. Her magnificent peaks heaved up and down, a sight that made Li Yang marvel.
’I never would’ve thought this man-hater would be so well-endowed.’
"Don’t think I’ll be grateful just because you exposed those two cat-selling scammers. Get out," Hua Lvlan said to Li Yang irritably.
"Professor Hua, you have a terminal illness, don’t you?" Li Yang said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
Hua Lvlan’s expression changed.
"What?" Zhang Rong panicked and stepped forward. "Lu Lan, what’s wrong?"
"The doctors predicted you have about half a month left to live, correct?" Li Yang said coolly. "So your trip, and giving away the cats... those are all things you wanted to do before you die."
"You... Get out!" Hua Lvlan practically screamed.
Tears started to well up in Zhang Rong’s eyes. She knew Li Yang had hit the mark.
"Get out right now! You’re not welcome in my house! You filthy man, get out...!"
Li Yang sighed and said, "Professor Hua, your illness... I can cure it."
"Nonsense! Leave at once." Professor Hua couldn’t possibly believe him. She had seen the top specialists to no avail, which is why she had fallen into despair.
"Lu Lan, he really is a doctor! Do you remember Yun Meng? He’s the one who cured her! Just let him take a look!"
Zhang Rong said urgently.
Something stirred in Hua Lvlan’s heart.
’She had heard a little about Su Yunmeng’s situation. Was she really cured?’
’And by the man standing in front of her, no less?’
"I really can cure it," Li Yang said earnestly. "If a hundred other doctors looked at your illness, they would all say it’s incurable. But I can do it. You can trust me on this. Besides, the treatment won’t take long, and you have nothing to lose. Why don’t I give it a try? Afterward, you can go back to the hospital for a check-up to see if it worked."
No one wants to die, and Hua Lvlan was no exception.
