Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure-Chapter 878: Zhi Zhi, Don’t Be Afraid. I’ll Always Be with You (2)

Before they arrived, Bertrand had already reprimanded Edmond.

He was very clear about his own body, but he didn’t want to tell others, nor did he want them to worry.

He didn’t have much time left.

Over the past two years, he had actually been actively undergoing symptomatic treatment.

However, he also knew that a cure was impossible.

He really had no regrets now.

When he initially found out, he urgently wanted to find Lu Xingzhi.

He was also lucky; the first time he went to Hua Country, he met her at that banquet.

He only wanted to take advantage of the few years he had left to teach Lu Xingzhi everything he had learned in his life.

"Teacher, you’re sick and you didn’t tell me?" Lu Xingzhi said somewhat angrily, "I’m your student, are you trying to deny that now?"

"Why is the Little Angel angry? Little Angel should always be happy." Bertrand said with a smile.

"Teacher..." Lu Xingzhi called out in embarrassment and said, "Don’t say anything for now, just have a good rest."

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to the Little Angel."

Seeing him resting, Lu Xingzhi only then went out.

Then she asked Edmond, "Edmond, what kind of illness does the teacher have? Is it serious?"

Lu Xingzhi really wanted to hear a negative answer, but she was destined to be disappointed.

"Uncle doesn’t have much time left. The doctor said the best outcome wouldn’t exceed three years." Edmond’s tone was weighty as he spoke.

Lu Xingzhi could hardly believe what she had heard.

What does it mean that the best outcome won’t exceed three years?

What does it refer to?

Even though Lu Xingzhi had already guessed, she dared not believe it, nor did she want to believe it.

Seeing Lu Xingzhi’s pale complexion, Edmond wondered if it was too cruel to say these things at such a time.

"Lu Lu, uncle always knew about his illness. At first, he even kept it from me, only telling me later. His first trip to Hua Country was to find you."

Edmond truthfully said, the relationship between him and his uncle was even better than with his biological father.

"Did he know back then? Then why did he bother flying such a long way over? What else did the teacher tell you?" Lu Xingzhi just hoped the teacher would be alright.

"A lot. Don’t worry, uncle will be fine." Edmond also knew his explanation and consolation were quite feeble.

"Mm. Maybe a miracle will happen!" Lu Xingzhi said hopefully.

"Little Zhi Liao, I only told you guys about uncle’s illness. Make sure not to spread it." Edmond said with a serious look in his eyes.

After accompanying Bertrand at the hospital for two more hours, Huo Jincheng left the hospital with Lu Xingzhi.

--

On the way back, Lu Xingzhi didn’t say a word.

Not until they got home did she start to relax a little bit.

But then she cried even harder.

How could this happen?

Why did the teacher get sick?

Lu Xingzhi was also angry with herself for not caring enough about the teacher usually.

"Zhi Zhi, don’t cry." Huo Jincheng picked up a tissue to wipe away Lu Xingzhi’s tears.

But Lu Xingzhi’s tears were like beads off a string, falling desperately.

Finally, she broke down into loud sobs and then slowly into quiet weeping.

"Alright! Go ahead and cry. Cry until you’re tired and then take a nap." Huo Jincheng knew that this kind of consolation was no longer effective for Lu Xingzhi.
