257. Dream Vendor(2/2)

Jiang Xia complained.

He took Mike to the business car provided by Mr. Criminal. Lao Jiang skillfully drove the car, drove Mike through two blocks, and bought a few hot dogs on the side of the road.

Then follow him into the hospital.

It looks old outside, and the facilities inside are even more outdated.

There is a smell of lack of money everywhere, and such a place is probably the prop for Cupid Group to show its "social responsibility".

Judging from the appearance here, it hasn't been maintained for a long time.

But there are still many patients.

Moreover, they all belong to the lower class of society. Some people sat silently on wooden chairs waiting to call, while more people spoke loudly with various accents.

The nurses also looked impatient.

"It was not like this here originally. At that time, everyone could use medical insurance to go to better hospitals. This place will only provide services to people in nearby neighborhoods.

But in the past four years, the situation has become worse and worse, and the pandemic has affected, and many people have gone bankrupt and unemployed, and they have all come here.”

Mike observed Jiang Xia's expression. Although he couldn't see Jiang Xia's face clearly with sunglasses, he keenly felt that Lao Jiang's emotions changed a little at this moment.

He said:

"The Cupid Group promised to renovate equipment, but there are many such charitable hospitals in other places, even if the Cupid Group is one of the few who has not been affected by the storm.

But they don't have enough power to..."

"No need to explain, I understand.

I already know what Cupid companies do, and I also know why they do it. When the whole society slid into the abyss, my peers always make a fortune.

They will try their best to keep a good reputation, thinking that this will make people forget the bloody money they make.

But even so, it’s better than doing nothing.”

Jiang Xia waved his hand, he took his eyes back from those people with numb and dull faces, and said to Mike:

"Go to your friend's place."

Mike was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He took Jiang Xia to the second floor, pushed open a dilapidated door, and the smell of medical potion came towards him.

There are not just one bed in this house, there are four, and three of them are lying on old men and women. Judging from their appearance, their condition is not bad.

And on the bed at the end of the house, a blonde girl lay.

Lying there as if she was sleeping, her nose was tied with a breathing tube, and she was so thin that she felt the weakness of her life before Lao Jiang could walk over.

That kind of weakness cannot be concealed.

"The limbs are starting to shrink."

Jiang Xia looked at it, put it in his pocket, and then looked at the silent Mike, who sat by the bed, stretched out his hand to pluck the girl's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

“als.”

Mike said:

"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called..."

"No need to explain, I am not as ignorant as you think, I know what this disease represents."

Jiang Xia took off her sunglasses and asked:

"How long will she have?"

"One year, up to one year."

Mike's voice trembled. He didn't dare to look at Jiang Xia. He was afraid of getting a disappointing answer from this powerful "senior".

But how could the magical Lao Jiang disappoint those who have expectations for him?

"Very good, it takes me about six hours, almost enough for her to recover."

As soon as he said this, Mike's eyes immediately widened and his body trembled. He glanced at the sleeping face of the girl on the hospital bed, lowered his head and wiped the tears that were so excited.

After sniffing, he heard Lao Jiang say to him again:

"Actually, in a sense, I feel like a businessman who sells dreams and hopes, so you are lucky, kid.

As I said, this is the arrangement of fate.”

Jiang Xia sighed in her sunglasses, took out a handkerchief to wipe it. He didn't raise his head and said to Mike who looked surprised:

"I can see that she is very important in your heart. So, I also want to see how important she is to you, and what is her name?"

"Denice."

Mike raised his head and said to Jiang Xia with a hint of excitement:

"Her name is Denise, please help her."

"Of course, I'll help."

Lao Jiang smiled and put on his sunglasses again. His figure fell into Mike's eyes in the face of the morning light outside the window, as great as an angel descending on earth.

Then, the angel bounced his finger and said to Mike:
Chapter completed!
