"What's wrong with her?"
Mu Fan pondered for a moment before asking.
After all, judging from Shizuka Hiratsuka's abnormal behavior today, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to be seriously ill.
Otherwise, with Shizuka Hiratsuka's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult for her to treat her.
But why would she be troubled by this? Could it be an incurable disease?
"Since you're here, I'll tell you."
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked worried. She sighed and said, "She's a distant cousin of mine. I only just found out that she was hospitalized nearby. She has the same congenital heart valve defect as her father. Because of that, the heart valve tissue is very fragile. It's so weak that it can't be sutured by surgery.
Because of this condition, she's hospitalized every two or three days. She hasn't been to school. "
"So is it serious now?"
Mu Fan knew the severity of heart diseases. Since this person couldn't even undergo surgery, it meant that this disease was extremely difficult to cure.
"Yes. It's gotten worse recently. The doctor who's been taking care of her said that she only has three months left. If we don't make up our minds to perform the surgery, she won't live for more than half a year. But the surgery is risky. " Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed.
"How risky is it?"
"The success rate is less than five percent. If it fails, this child won't even live for a month. Even if it succeeds, she'll only live for another ten years. "
Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned against the wall. Her voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. "Why, why, why take away a little girl's life? She's never been happy since she was young …"
"What about her father?"
Mu Fan asked instinctively, "Can you find a solution from her father?"
"Her father passed away because of this disease."
Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry."
Mu Fan felt a chill in his heart.
It seemed that Shizuka Hiratsuka had been troubled by this since the last time they met.
This was how the world worked. Even if you had enough money, you might not be able to buy a life.
Her father, who had the same disease as her cousin, had passed away. Although it had been a few years since then, could modern science really save that child's life?
According to the doctor, a five percent success rate was almost equivalent to performing a surgery that could kill the patient.
"This isn't something to apologize for. Since you're here, come with me to see her. She hasn't been to school and hasn't seen boys her age. Maybe she can talk to you."
Shizuka Hiratsuka forced a smile as she comforted Mu Fan.
Mu Fan nodded his head. Since he was already here, he couldn't possibly leave just because she was sick. Moreover, he had already treated Hiratsuka Shizuka as a friend, so it was normal for him to visit her.
As Hiratsuka Shizuka was not in a good mood, the two did not speak much along the way. In the end, Shizuka Shizuka brought Mu Fan to an intensive care unit and reminded him, "Oh right, let me warn you. That child's temper is a little weird. She's a little self-centered. If possible, please tolerate her."
"Yes, I will."
. ".. Mu Fan nodded.
She had been hospitalized since she was young, so it was understandable that she had a weird temper. Besides, there was no need for him to be so calculative with a patient. If he accidentally angered her, he could just leave the room and wait for Hiratsuka Shizuka to come out.
"Okay."
Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled in satisfaction. Just as she was about to knock on the door, it was pushed open from the inside. A tall, model-like girl with a blonde ponytail appeared at the door. She had icy blue eyes and wore a school uniform.
Seeing this girl, Mu Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sister Shizuka?"
The girl smiled when she saw Shizuka Hiratsuka. But when she saw Mu Fan beside her, she frowned and asked, "Mu Fan, why are you here?"
Actually, the girl in front of him was Xunase Eri from μ's. Mu Fan was also a bit surprised to see Xunase Eri here. He asked, "I'm a bit curious, why are you here? Are you sick? "
"You're the one who's sick!"
Xunase Eri immediately retorted angrily. Then, she seemed to realize that her voice was too loud, so she closed the door and said, "My cousin is hospitalized here. I come to visit her every day."
"I'm here to accompany Shizuka Sensei."
Mu Fan finally understood why Kune Eri came here every day after school to visit her cousin.
However, it was strange that Shizuka Eri and Shizuka Hiratsuka's cousin were the same person.
"You?"
Kune Eri was in disbelief. Compared to Mu Fan following Shizuka Hiratsuka here, she was more inclined to believe that Mu Fan, who pressed her against the wall in the studio, followed her here.
"He's here to visit me."
Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up and looked at Mu Fan and Kune Eri with a questioning gaze. "I didn't expect you two to know each other."
Kune Eri immediately turned her head away. "I don't know a guy who would mess around in an all-girls school."
"Hey, don't say things that will cause misunderstandings."
Mu Fan was a little speechless as he ridiculed.
"Hehe …"
Shizuka Hiratsuka saw the unusual relationship between the two and her eyes flashed. She glanced at the ward and asked, "How's Thyme now?"
"At least for now, she's fine. But she still doesn't talk to me."
Speaking to this point, Kune Eri sighed and said, "A normal child might be in school right now. How good would it be if she could go to school like a normal child …"
"Can we go see her now?"
Kune Eri nodded. "Mhm, it seems like she's lonely. I don't have much to talk about with her here. I still have some things to do at home. Shizuka, I'm going back. I'll leave this to you."
"Mhm, leave it to me." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded.
As for Xunase Eri, she had just taken two steps when she suddenly turned around and reminded Mu Fan, "Remember, you can't make my cousin angry. Otherwise, her condition will worsen!"
"I won't do that."
Mu Fan smiled and asked, "By the way, President, have you thought about joining μ's?"
"I …"
Kune Eri's face turned red. She paused and said, "As you can see, my cousin is hospitalized here. I'm not in the mood to develop as an idol. At least, I need to make sure that her condition is stable for the time being."
"But you also said that you don't have much to talk about with your cousin, right?"
Mu Fan sighed. He didn't expect that Kune Eri's cousin, who was very useful to the team, would have a problem. It would be difficult to get her to join.
"But I will still come here."
Tears appeared in Xunase Eri's icy blue eyes. She said resolutely, "My cousin doesn't have many friends. If I didn't come, she would really be lonely. She would have to bear all the pressure here by herself."
Seeing Kune Eri like this, Mu Fan's heart ached. He thought of Gauze Mist after their parents passed away.
Speaking of which, Gauze Mist was his cousin.
