Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 820 Rapid Aging

……

"Ahem, Yongsheng, just tell me the truth. Do I, an old man, only have a few days left to live?"

The Meng family compound is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a strong sense of scholarly family. In the master bedroom, a withered, pale, white-haired old man was half-leaning on the bed and speaking weakly.

"Dad, what are you talking about? The doctor has already said that you are just a little weak due to a minor illness. You just need to rest for a few days."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, who looked at least 70% like the old man. He was speaking with a gentle smile on his face, but there was a hint of melancholy between his brows.

This person is none other than the current head of the Meng family, the person in charge of the Meng Group, and the father of the Meng Ge sisters—Meng Yongsheng!

Ugh.

Looking at his eldest son's appearance, the old man sighed slightly in his heart. How could he not understand his own son?

Being treated like this when telling a lie is a big taboo in the business world. How can he feel at ease?

"Yes, Dad, you used to be in such good health. You had regular checkups every year and were always healthy. You knew all this. How could you suddenly develop a life-threatening emergency? It doesn't make sense, does it?"

Beside Meng Yongsheng, Wang Yaru was also comforting the old man with a smile. It must be said that compared to her husband's words, what she said was more pleasant and convincing.

Even the frail old man Meng thought it made sense. Logically speaking, with his deliberate maintenance and exercise, his physical fitness had always been good, but now he was struck by illness. Could it be that he was really old?

"You guys go out. My two granddaughters will come back later and ask them to come see me." The old man waved his hand and leaned down to lie on the bed. Meng Yongsheng and his wife looked at each other and slowly left the bedroom.

At this time, many people had gathered outside the door, including men, women, young and old, all of whom were the closest people in the Meng family. Meng Yongsheng's younger brother, Meng Delu's father, Meng Yongqiang, was naturally present as well.

"Brother, how is father?"

Meng Yongqiang asked anxiously, his voice quite anxious.

Meng Yongsheng didn't say anything but just shook his head, then looked at an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room. The old man was frowning and thinking, with a slender Pokémon like a wind chime surrounding him.

"Doctor Ye, are there any results from my father's examination? What disease does he have, and is it curable?"

Meng Yongsheng walked up to the old man and asked in a deep voice, and everyone looked over.

Because of the emergence of magical creatures like elves, the medical model in this world has many differences, such as the emergence of many individual doctors with medical qualifications.

These doctors often possess excellent medical skills, and they cooperate with specific elves to heal patients, which is very unique. Ye Canghe is one of the best among them.

Of course, the Meng family also had the old man undergo the most professional examination in the hospital, but the result was that there was no problem at all, he was just too weak, his body was severely aged, and his organs were gradually failing.

In this situation, we had no choice but to try our best and hired the famous Doctor Ye to treat the patient, hoping that it would be effective.

"Master Meng, please don't be anxious."

Ye Canghe flipped through the records in his hand, then glanced at Feng Lingling beside him, sighed, and continued.

"I've seen Mr. Meng's condition. It's very unique. He doesn't have any physical illness, but his body is almost irreversibly weakened. It's hard to understand."

"Doctor Ye, we all know all this. Do you have any other discoveries?" Meng Yongsheng said anxiously.

"Hmm... I think Mr. Meng's current condition is not so much a disease as it is a rapid aging. In other words, his vitality is rapidly fading."

Ye Canghe hesitated for a moment and then expressed his judgment. Or rather, this was not his own judgment, but the judgment of Feng Lingling, who was still his partner next to him.

This elf of his is very talented in healing and has an extraordinary origin. The reason why he is now known as a miracle doctor is almost half due to this elf.

"My vitality is fading quickly? Is there any way to replenish it? Please, Doctor Ye, save my father."

Meng Yongsheng's eyes were red and his expression was extremely serious.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do right now."

But Ye Canghe shook his head helplessly.

"Just now, I tried to have Feng Lingling use healing waves to replenish Mr. Meng's vitality, but these powers had no effect at all. They even almost backfired and further harmed Mr. Meng's body."

"I'm helpless right now. The most I can do is have Feng Lingling use the healing chime to make sure Mr. Meng is in a good mood. Maybe that will help him hold on for a while longer."

Listening to Ye Canghe's words, everyone's hearts grew colder and colder. Even his wind chime couldn't replenish life, so where on earth could they find a stronger healing elf than it?

Even Ye Canghe himself secretly shook his head. In his opinion, the only one who could save Mr. Meng's life now was the legendary Pokémon that had appeared in Taoxian City that year.

The daughter of the gym owner in Taoxian City, who had also suffered from a strange disease, was cured in this way.

But it is obvious that no matter how powerful the Meng family is, it is impossible to find such an elf in such a short time. What's more, judging from Mr. Meng's current condition, it is hard to say how many days he can last.

"I can still continue to study it, but I still ask Patriarch Meng and Mr. Meng to be mentally prepared."

Ye Canghe said all he wanted to say, then bowed to everyone and left with the elf, leaving behind the Meng family in a heavy atmosphere.

……

"The atmosphere in your house is very depressing. Isn't it a bad idea to go in now? Why not wait until night time and I can come and visit the patient?"

Not far away, a young man watched all this and whispered to the two girls beside him.

"No need. That Meng Delu has probably passed the news back by now. He's hoping that my sister will incur public wrath."

Meng Wan crossed her arms and looked coldly at Meng Dele who had entered the Meng family compound before them, and said in a bad tone.

"That's right, we can just go in directly."

Meng Ge spoke calmly, and Lin Shi clicked his tongue. He now had no idea where the confidence of these two sisters came from.

Your grandfather is almost dying of illness, and you bring your boyfriend home. If I were your father, I would break your legs!

"Huh, alright, let's go then."

After a brief mental preparation, the three of them walked into the room together. As soon as they entered, they caught everyone's gaze, especially Lin Shi. He felt like this group of people wanted to drown him with their eyes.

"Xiaoge, what's going on? Do you know..."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Meng Yongsheng was the first to question. She has always been very open-minded about her daughter's marriage, and now is indeed not a good time for him.

"Grandpa let me do that!"

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Meng Ge.

"Grandpa said he hopes I can bring my boyfriend to him so he can check him out."

Meng Ge continued to add...
