The ergency that caused Jiang Li to not be able to co to the eting Na Yu held proved to be quite a headache. It was his departnt's advisor that called for him. When he ca into the music departnt's head professor's office, the middle-aged guy dressed in a white buttoned up shirt and grey pants patted him on the shoulder and gave him a aningful and pitying glance. He must admit that irked so of his nerves a bit, especially since he didn't know the reason for it.
"Professor Xu?" He questioned.
The older man did not even offer him a seat and just started explaining, "Sobody phoned a few minutes before I called you. It seems your mother couldn't get through you directly, maybe it is because you changed your number or they don't have it morized, so when they said you're studying here, a nurse looked through our information and reached out to ."
Jiang Li scoured his mories and found no information about this. But if it's about his number, then actually there was one.
He recently had to change his number and phone because within the first day of his arrival here, after thoroughly reviewing 'his' mories, the anger he felt upon seeing He Chen's craziness about Tang Lan overwheld the happiness brought by his contact with the villainess. As a result, he threw away the phone which held all 'his' attachnt to the female lead.
Using the money he saved up from part ti jobs, he purchased a new one and bought a new sim card too. The only problem was that he hadn't called ho yet to inform He Chen's family of his new number.
However right now, this was actually not that important. Since He Chen's parents were ntioned in the sa breath with a nurse, he had an inkling it could only be a bad thing. The slightly obese man hadn't said anything yet, but his heart was already skipping a few beats. It was definitely that persistent remnant soul's influence.
'He Chen's parents are rarely ntioned or showed in the mories after the Original entered college. But what's sure is that they are both in good health, managing their farm and poultry at the village together. He Chen's brother is in junior high and is also supposed to be in good health too... What's the matter then?'
He didn't like the feeling at all. With a worried face on, he urged, "Sir please just go directly to the point."
Seeing his reaction, Professor Xu nodded, not minding Jiang Li's slightly disrespectful tone. "Since it's an unknown person demanding your presence, I had her reveal what's the purpose of the call. To my surprise it's about your father. The nurse only passed the ssage from your mother. She wants you to co to the hospital as soon as possible. Your father is diagnosed with cancer. The nurse left out most of the details probably because only the relatives are allowed to know the specifics. But based on her tone, I can only guess that the situation is not optimistic."
If he was in his normal self, Jiang Li would have already criticized the nurse for disclosing such a classified information to a non-relative. But because the shock was quite great plus the original's feelings were flooding him, all he thought of was to leave now and go to the hospital to confirm the situation.
"Sir, thank you for informing this. What's the na of that place?" His voice had obvious hint of urgency in it.
While the man pulled up a pen to write an address and number there which was seemingly being copied from his own phone, he continued saying, "He Chen, I know you're not a local here so I'm writing down the address and contact info. It's the city's general hospital. However, since it's a public hospital I don't think they are equipped with the best treatnt programs and facilities. In any case, just go there now. I included my number here. Call if you need help."
Jiang Li actually only needed the na of the place and had the taxi driver ferry him there, but he couldn't reject the professor's kindness hence he just accepted the piece of paper and thanked the middle-aged man before leaving the office.
Inside the taxi, after telling the driver to fly the cab to the hospital, he texted Cheng Du that he wouldn't be able to attend the eting. He then did his trick to check his father's information and when he saw the two lines He Song: Stage IV Osteosarcoma, with a scarily composed expression he began to contemplate which wealthy conglorate or bank to hack. After that he searched for the best oncology center using his phone, bypassing the ads and deceptive articles before landing on so decent forums...
'This private treatnt center then... Even though it's not a mission, since I'm just borrowing this identity, I better secure his family and not allow any chance for my rewards to lessen.'
He closed his eyes after.
In actuality, while he was saying this to himself, deep within, he was just simply not inhumane enough to let an imdiate family mber die when he could have done sothing to help.
