In three days, two kilometers of asphalt road had been paved.
Compared to cement roads, asphalt roads had more advantages.
It was simple, efficient, and guaranteed quality. Cement roads had to be dried for at least a week before they could be used.
Cement roads didn't expand well. If the temperature difference was too big, the road would collapse or crack.
Asphalt roads, on the other hand, could solidify in a few hours under normal weather. They could be used for 24 hours.
There weren't many pure asphalt roads anymore because asphalt would produce carcinogens at high temperatures.
Therefore, asphalt roads now used some mixed materials. Asphalt was the raw material, mixed with fibers and other materials to reduce the toxicity of asphalt roads.
The price would be much higher too. Chen Zhao would rather spend more money.
Large amounts of construction materials were sent to the site. First, they had to dig the foundation.
Because the soil around the lake was soft and wet, and part of the building was below the ground, the foundation was deeper too.
Also, part of the building was built in the lake, so it was more troublesome to build.
Of course, Chen Zhao didn't have to worry about this. Felwood Cisco was in charge.
…
As soon as Chen Zhao returned from the construction site, he received Dell's call.
"Chen, can you come? There's something wrong with Fisher. "
"Huh? Mary didn't take care of her? "
"It's not Mary's problem. You better come. I'm not sure either."
Judging from Dell's tone, it didn't seem like he was joking.
Usually, when Dell came to find Chen Zhao, even if something happened, he'd say something witty.
But today, Dell was so serious. Chen Zhao felt that something was really wrong.
Sensing Dell's home, Dell hurriedly brought Chen Zhao into the house.
Chen Zhao could tell that Dell really cared about Fisher.
Although Dell was usually unreliable, on this matter, he displayed the seriousness and seriousness that a parent should have.
"Dell, what happened to Fisher?"
Dell didn't speak. He walked into the living room and saw Mary carrying Fisher.
"Mary."
"Chen, you're here."
"Let me carry Fisher."
Chen Zhao took Fisher. He didn't find anything wrong with her.
"What happened to her?"
"Fisher can't see," Dell said.
"Huh?" Chen Zhao sat on the sofa. He took out a small flashlight and shone it at Fisher's eyes.
Fisher did not react at all.
Chen Zhao snapped his fingers next to Faith's ear. Faith immediately reacted and reached out to touch Chen Zhao while babbling.
His initial judgment was that Faith couldn't see.
"Did you take Faith to the hospital?"
"Not yet."
"Go now, I'll go with you."
"Chen, what if Faith can't see?" Dell asked worriedly.
"Even if Faith can't see it, you have to be responsible."
"That's not what I meant. I mean, if Faith can't see, what's going to happen to her future … I hope she can grow up healthy and jump around like other kids. I don't want her to spend her entire life groping in the dark." Dell's expression was solemn.
"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first. We'll discuss this issue after the results are out."
Chen Zhao and Dell sent Faith to the hospital. Soon, the ophthalmologist took her to a dust-free isolation room.
Chen Zhao and Dell could only sit in the corridor, waiting for the results.
Just then, Faur walked over. When she saw Chen Zhao, she was surprised too.
"Chen, why are you here? Don't tell me you have another patient here. "
"My friend's kid is here," Chen Zhao said.
"Come here. I need to talk to you." Faur pulled Chen Zhao to the side.
"What is it?"
"How's your relationship with Fali?"
"We're dating," Chen Zhao answered. "Is there a problem?"
"I'm fine, but my dad's a very old-fashioned person. He might not agree to you two dating."
Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. What era was it now? How could there be such old-fashioned parents?
"My dad's a very domineering person. He won't be easy to talk to. If he thinks that you and Fali can't be together, he'll probably be very forceful."
"Fali and I can't be told what to do, even if that person is Fali's father," Chen Zhao said with the same forcefulness.
"Okay, I hope you can convince my dad."
After Faur left, Dell walked over. "Chen, who's that beautiful doctor to you? You two seem to have a special relationship. Did you two sleep together? "
"She's my girlfriend's sister. That's all," Chen Zhao said. "You've been pretending for the whole night, and now you're being naughty again?"
"I'm anxious, but there's no use," Dell said helplessly.
An hour later, the doctor in charge came with the report. A nurse carried Faith behind her.
"Mr. Dell, the situation is very bad."
"What's bad?" Dell immediately became nervous.
"Your daughter has congenital choroidal dysplasia. She can't sense light."
"Can she have surgery?" Dell asked.
"For one, the child is too young to have surgery. For another, the choroidal dysplasia is a congenital factor, so it can't be fixed. Also, the child's blood type is Diego."
"Chen, what's Diego blood type?"
"Diego was discovered in 1955. It's named after the first patient who developed an antigen against the new blood type system. This patient gave birth to a newborn with hemolytic disease. An antibody was found in her serum. This antibody can pass through the placenta during pregnancy and attack the red blood cells of the fetus. In 1967, the second Diego antigen was discovered. In 1995, the other Diego antigens were discovered."
"To put it simply."
"It's a very rare blood type."
"And then?"
"Faith's choroid is underdeveloped now, so she needs someone to donate her eyeball for the surgery. In other words, if Faith wants to see again, she needs to replace her entire eyeball. But with the rarity of Diego's blood type, there might not be a single donor for decades. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Can you buy it on the black market? If you can, I'm willing to pay any price. Is a million dollars enough? "
Chen Zhao slapped the back of Dell's head. "Idiot."
The doctor shook his head and left. Chen Zhao glared at Dell. "Watch your words. This isn't your home. Luckily, the doctor didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, you might be sued for saying that."
"Why? I didn't do anything. Can't I just say it?"
"Do you know how the organs sold on the black market come from?"
"How?"
