Chapter 860 - 863: Why Would I Lie to You?
"Sir, if you come regularly every day, I will provide massage therapy, which can reduce cortisol and the amount of stress hormones in your body, slow down muscle spasms and muscle pain, prevent joints from becoming stiff, and alleviate anxiety."
Tian Buyu spoke, and without waiting for his consent, he walked over to him, squatted down, and began to massage his hands and feet, explaining the specifics and progress of stem cell treatment while he massaged.
Unconsciously, Gu Shaocheng slowly drifted off to sleep.
Tian Buyu looked at the tiredness between his brows and felt an intense pang of sympathy. For a man like him to face such an illness, to endure without breaking, was truly not easy.
He really couldn’t speak of it.
Once the Gu Family learned of his illness, Tian Buyu didn’t even have to think to know what the consequences would be.
It would be like the imminent death of an ancient emperor. What would follow?
Forced abdication, usurpation...
It’s the same for a country as it is for a family.
Having spent these years by Gu Shaocheng’s side, watching him grow step by step to this unshakable position, how could God be so cruel to bestow such a heavy fate upon him now?
Tian Buyu thought bitterly, his heart sour with discomfort. He furrowed his brows slightly but dared not show any sympathetic look or even let it permeate the air because the man with closed eyes would not want to see it.
Gu Shaocheng would not tolerate any sympathy.
Right at that moment, a phone call came through; it was Gu Qianqian. Tian Buyu glanced over at the sir who still had his eyes closed, pressed the answer button, and stepped out of the room, asking in a low voice, "Miss Qianqian, do you need something?"
The voice of Gu Qianqian carried a hint of confusion, "Have you been on vacation recently? Why aren’t you at the Gu Family’s?"
"Yes, I took an extended leave due to some family matters."
"Extended leave? But I hear you’ve been very active lately, looking for doctors in certain areas. Does someone in your family have Lou Gehrig’s disease?"
How did she know? He had been so careful with this matter.
Over the phone, Gu Qianqian said, "It’s not my brother, is it? I heard his mother had that disease; he didn’t inherit it, did he?"
"Where did Miss Qianqian hear such rumors? How could Sir possibly have that disease?" Tian Buyu felt a twitch in his eyelid.
After all, Gu Qianqian was a top medical student with no fewer connections in the medical field than him. Had she heard some rumors because of this?
Of course, this matter could not be known to Miss Qianqian. Tian Buyu weighed this in his mind and with a sigh, he said, "It’s a relative of mine who has unfortunately contracted this disease, and I’m looking for ways to treat him everywhere."
"Really? You’re not lying to me?"
Tian Buyu chuckled, "Why would I lie to you?"
"Okay, if you say so. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up," Gu Qianqian hung up the phone, but doubt still lingered in her heart. She had inadvertently heard about Tian Buyu’s worldwide search for experts on Lou Gehrig’s disease, and connecting the dots to her brother’s mother dying from the illness, she couldn’t help but worry.
Unable to resist, as soon as the call ended, she dialed Gu Shaocheng’s number.
Gu Shaocheng’s voice came through the phone, indifferent, without any fluctuation, "His family had some issues, so I gave him extended leave. Why? Do you need something from Tian Buyu?"
"Oh, there are some problems I don’t quite understand, and I wanted to discuss them with him." Gu Qianqian thought for a moment, "Where are you now?"
