"Yes."
Mu Fan nodded. He was curious why Goro Natsume was waiting outside the ward, so he asked curiously, "Dr. Natsume, is there anything I can help you with?"
Natsume Goro put out the cigarette and pressed the butt into the ashtray on the trash can. He stared at Mu Fan for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Since you brought Li Xiang out last time, you should understand her condition, right?"
"Yes."
Mu Fan nodded. He knew about Thyme's condition very well, so he had been working hard in the game recently. He wanted to defeat Lucifer as soon as possible to restore Aincrad and fulfill Lily's wish so that he could get enough fantasy points to save Thyme.
Seeing that Mu Fan understood Thyme's condition, Goro Natsume put his hand in his pocket and asked, "Do you want to see how long Thyme can last?"
"Sure."
Although Mu Fan didn't know what Goro Natsume was up to, he still wanted to know how long Thyme could last under his magic power.
He followed Goro Natsume to his office. Goro Natsume took out the recent medical examination report of Thyme from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Fan. He pointed at the report and explained to Mu Fan,
"According to the report, for some reason, the heart valve in Li Xiang's body has become more stable than before. Even the success rate of the surgery has increased."
Mu Fan read the report carefully. He knew what Goro Natsume said. Thyme's condition was stable because of his magic power. However, no one knew that he was secretly helping Thyme, and Mu Fan planned to keep it a secret.
But after putting down the report, Mu Fan still felt a little strange. Did Goro Natsume call him here just to tell him this information that he already knew?
"But don't think that Li Xiang's body is getting better. Although her body has been strengthened, it is also deteriorating little by little. It's just that the speed of deterioration is much slower than before. For example, Li Xiang's original three months of lifespan is now only left with two months. Because of the strengthening, judging from the current deteriorating state, she can only live for five months.
Goro Natsume saw Mu Fan nodding, so he asked him again, "The success rate of the operation is only 10%. Do you know what to do?"
"What should I do?"
Mu Fan furrowed his brows. He had already guessed what Xiamu Goro meant. His expression turned cold as he furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand?"
Goro Natsume pointed at the test results and said coldly, "You're only 17 years old. At your age, you don't understand the pain of losing the one you love. If you really want Thyme to be at ease, leave her now. She can't accompany you to the end. You have a much longer road ahead of you. Don't waste time on this."
Hearing this, Mu Fan sighed. He finally understood why Goro Natsume brought him here. It was to tell him that Thyme's condition was irreversible. If he stayed here, he would only add to her pain in the future.
However, Thyme was Mu Fan's friend. Mu Fan did not intend to give up on Thyme. After hearing Goro Natsume's words, he replied firmly, "You're wrong. If I leave now, Thyme will be even more sad."
He had thought that Mu Fan, a 17-year-old boy, only had a little love in his heart and did not consider his future relationship. When he heard that Thyme's life was coming to an end, Mu Fan would choose to leave without hesitation.
But now that Mu Fan had such a determined look in his eyes, Xia Mu Goro was shocked.
After a long while, Goro Natsume frowned and said, "You should know that even if the operation is successful, it can only extend Thyme's life by ten years. She still won't live past 30. And you still have a long life ahead of you. If you just want to play with Thyme and leave because she's beautiful, then leave her as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you hurt her heart, I won't let you go. "
At this point, Goro Natsume clenched his teeth and gripped the test report tightly in his hands. His face was red and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Mu Fan. With a pained expression, he said in a low voice, "As Thyme's doctor, I practically watched her grow up in the hospital, but I couldn't save her …"
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard. In Mu Fan's eyes, Goro Natsume punched the wall. Drops of blood dripped from his fist. He looked like he was in heart-wrenching pain. Mu Fan's expression became complicated.
He could see that Goro Natsume was really worried about Thyme's condition.
But since Goro Natsume had done so much for her, Mu Fan wanted to save Thyme even more after reading Thyme's diary.
He said in a very serious tone, "I won't leave Thyme. I won't leave her until her operation is successful. I know that she may not have much time left, but I will still stay with her until the end. Besides …"
Speaking up to this point, Mu Fan paused for a moment. He looked at Natsume Goro and said, "Since you can't save her, then I will."
"You?"
Goro Natsume raised his head and looked at Mu Fan. Looking at Mu Fan's determined eyes, he couldn't help laughing. "Don't joke around. Even if all the major hospitals can't do anything about it, what can you do to save Thyme?"
Hearing Goro Natsume's mocking tone, Mu Fan didn't say anything. He didn't care. He had his own way to save Thyme.
And even if he couldn't save Thyme, he wouldn't leave Thyme at this critical moment. That would be a devastating blow to Thyme's spirit.
"You're still young. Even if you say that, Thyme's condition won't get better. She will only be more reluctant to leave you."
After a moment of silence, Goro Natsume said coldly.
"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Natsume."
Hearing this, Mu Fan frowned. He walked to the door of the doctor's office with a gloomy face. With his back to Goro Natsume, he said, "But I won't regret what I did to Thyme. Goodbye!"
With that, he left Goro Natsume's office without waiting for Goro Natsume's reply.
Walking in the corridor, Mu Fan's mood was a bit messy. Thyme could only live for five more months. The doctor in charge, Goro Natsume, didn't want him to sacrifice everything for a girl who would die sooner or later.
But in Mu Fan's view, Thyme was his friend. No matter what, he had to save Thyme. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn't give up.
.....
When Mu Fan walked to the elevator door and pressed the button to go downstairs, a tall beauty in a nurse uniform with short red hair walked out from the other side of the corridor. When she saw Mu Fan waiting at the elevator door, she couldn't help but smile and call out his name, "Mu Fan?"
"Yes?"
Hearing someone call him, Mu Fan, who was about to enter the elevator, turned around. When he saw the red-haired nurse waving at him, Mu Fan's heart sank.
