In the examination room, Zhu Yiting finally heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Wang Jiancheng undergoing his examination.

Although she greatly loathed the crazed and paranoid delusions that Wang Jiancheng displayed after falling ill, he was, after all, her husband. Throughout his illness, Zhu Yiting had not spent a day without worrying about his condition.

As a doctor, Zhu Yiting understood Wang Jiancheng’s condition better than the average person and was not as easily frightened by the word "cancer." However, being a doctor also meant she knew all too well what having two types of malign tumors simultaneously implied.

This was why, after Wang Jiancheng was diagnosed with cancer at the hepatic hilum, Zhu Yiting hadn’t slept well for a single night. She couldn’t sleep because she knew all too clearly that even if Chen Yu could perform surgery on Wang Jiancheng, he would only be able to live for one or two more years at most.

This harsh reality even made Zhu Yiting consider giving up on treatment at one point, to spare Wang Jiancheng further suffering, allowing him a more comfortable time before he passed away.

However, ultimately, the hope for survival won over, and Zhu Yiting still brought Wang Jiancheng to Japan, opting for the treatment with the new medication Chen Yu had spoken of.

Even though Wang Jiancheng had already been admitted to the hospital and was receiving treatment, and the Japanese hospital displayed a far superior level of medical care than she had expected, her inner worries never subsided. She was on tenterhooks until Wang Jiancheng was truly out of danger.

Fortunately, today was the third day since Wang Jiancheng started medication, and the recent examination was to confirm his state after taking the medicine.

The feedback from the examination results showed that the activity of the tumor cells in Wang Jiancheng’s body had been suppressed. He had finally managed to temporarily escape the threat of his illness.

As long as he continued the medication, he would no longer be threatened by the tumor.

"I can leave at five o’clock, and Hiromi might be a bit later, around six o’clock. Let’s meet up at the hospital entrance. The place isn’t far from here; we can just walk over," Chen Yu glanced at his watch, estimated the time, and nodded at Zhu Yiting.

"Mr. Chen Yu, why have you decided to treat your classmate to dinner today?" Hiromi Jounouchi, who had changed into her own clothes and was carrying her bag next to Chen Yu, asked curiously upon hearing that he was going to treat Zhu Yiting to dinner.

"Ah, it’s nothing. She just said that she has been buying stuff from a convenience store near her hotel for dinner these past few days. I felt like I should at least offer some hospitality and not let her think that all she ate in Japan were convenience store bento boxes," Chen Yu shrugged, explaining to Hiromi Jounouchi while looking out for Zhu Yiting at the hospital entrance.

Zhu Yiting wasn’t standing in a hidden spot, so it didn’t take long for Chen Yu to spot her.

"Hey, Zhu Ting!" Chen Yu greeted her and walked towards her with Hiromi Jounouchi by his side.

"Chen Yu," Zhu Yiting didn’t use Chen Yu’s nickname but addressed him by his name, also greeting Hiromi Jounouchi in hesitant Japanese, "Doctor Jounouchi, hello."

"Hello, Miss Zhu," it was Hiromi Jounouchi who took the initiative to respond to Zhu Yiting in Chinese, to Zhu Yiting’s surprise.

"Then let’s go now; the place is in the alley across the street. It’ll be a few minutes’ walk," without much ado, Chen Yu pointed in the direction, then took Hiromi Jounouchi’s arm and started walking with Zhu Yiting toward the restaurant.
