"Alright, as long as you agree, that's fine..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Qin Qing hurriedly agreed without hesitation.

She had visited the hospital and inquired about Old Madam Qu's condition. A notice of critical illness had already been issued, basically ruling out any possibility of survival. She estimated that the end of life was only a matter of days away.

It was precisely for this reason that she now had no choice but to clutch at straws.

On her way back earlier, the thought of her mother's imminent departure made her unable to hold back her tears. By chance, Tang Feifei had come home first and happened to witness her crying.

Tang Feifei cried with Qin Qing, and after learning the reason, she couldn't help but bring up Qin Fang's matter... which led to Qin Qing asking Qin Fang for help.

Although he had no fondness for the Qu Family, since his mother had requested, Qin Fang found no reason to refuse, even though he hadn't made any substantial promises.

"Qin Fang, now... let's go right now..."

Qin Qing seemed very anxious, not even willing to delay long enough to have a meal, and immediately began to pull Qin Fang towards Saint Mary's Hospital.

Qin Fang could only offer a wry smile, but he understood his mother's feelings and followed her there, with Tang Feifei naturally accompanying them.

Saint Mary's Hospital is the most famous private hospital on Hong Kong Island and is also the preferred hospital for many wealthy families. Many of its doctors also serve as private physicians for those affluent households.

The hospital is also conveniently close to the hilltop mansions of the rich...

Such a hospital has very strict management, and it's extremely difficult for ordinary people to get in unless they have an appointment or are wealthy VIPs...

However, for people like Qin Fang, whose vehicle was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, there was no difficulty at all. The hospital's security hardly took a glance before letting Qin Fang's car in.

Old Madam Qu was now over eighty years old, and her health had never been very good. Had she been in an ordinary household, she likely would have passed away by now. However, the Qu Family was wealthy and could afford many renowned doctors to prolong her life. It had been dragging on until now, when she could no longer hold on...

With the issuance of the critical illness notice, the entire Qu Family all of a sudden became much more sorrowful.

Old Madam Qu was in an intensive care unit with countless tubes and an oxygen mask attached to her and surrounded by various advanced medical equipment.

But to Qin Fang, things already looked grim. No matter how advanced the equipment, it meant little to someone whose life was nearly spent.

Qin Qing had visited once before, and although Qin Fang didn't know how his mother had persuaded the nurses to let her get close, the nurses hardly stopped them after that one visit.

When they arrived at the intensive care unit, Qin Fang and the others could only look through the thick glass to observe the condition inside. The ward was sealed and did not allow non-hospital doctors to enter at will.

"Qin Fang, how is it?"

Seeing her son carefully observing the situation inside, with his brows deeply furrowed, Qin Qing asked worriedly.

You could say that Qin Fang was now her last hope. If even he was out of options, then there truly was no hope left...

"The situation is very bad. It seems that many of her bodily organs have already ceased functioning, and she really doesn't have many days left..."

Despite the thick glass, Qin Fang's Scouting Skill allowed him to assess the situation with little impact. He could still check the condition of Old Madam Qu inside.

Just as the hospital's findings suggested, Old Madam Qu indeed didn't have much time left. It wouldn't be long, probably within a week or so, which made the critical illness notice completely reasonable...

"Really, there is no way at all?"

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Qin Qing's face suddenly turned much gloomier, her tone filled with profound disappointment. This was her last hope, and now it was shattered.

"Indeed, if there was any way, they wouldn't have given up..."

Qin Qing murmured somberly.

The "they" she referred to was obviously the Qu Family People. With the Qu Family's enormous wealth, they would never give up if there was any possible way.

But now they were still helpless, truly out of options!

"Mom, don't worry..."

Sensing his mother's sadness, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel concerned and immediately responded.

"You have a way?"

Qin Qing's face suddenly brightened with joy, staring at Qin Fang very nervously, as if a drowning person had suddenly seen a lifeline.

"If you want her to live a long and full life, that is definitely beyond my abilities... However, giving her another month or two is not a problem..."

Old Madam Qu's condition is very similar to Wen Yan's grandmother's; both were half a step into The Gates of Hell. In fact, Wen Yan's grandmother had been in an even more critical condition, as she had already stopped breathing. Old Madam Qu, with the support of various advanced medical devices, was in a much better state...

It's just that Old Madam Qu has many ailments and has been very weak for a long time, her physical condition couldn't even compare to Wen Yan's grandmother.

So when comparing the two, it's a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other.

If Qin Fang could extend Wen Yan's grandmother's life by six months, then he could likewise extend Old Madam Qu's life for the same duration...

It's just that Qin Fang didn't make too firm a promise, not because he wanted to deceive his mother Qin Qing, but because he was unhappy with the Qu Family People!

"One or two months..."

Hearing Qin Fang's response, the first reaction of Qin Qing was not happiness, but rather a sense of loss, as Qin Fang's reply fell short of her expectations.

"I was too greedy! One or two months is okay..."

However, Qin Qing quickly came to her senses. Nowadays, Old Madam Qu was already at her life's end, likely to leave this world within a few days, even lacking the strength to open her eyes to look at her.

If she were to pass away like this, Qin Qing would be deeply saddened...

But if life could be extended by another month or two, at least she, as a daughter, could accompany her mother through the last part of her life's journey...

There might still be regrets, but it was obviously much more than before...

"But..."

Qin Fang looked at the locked ward, where entry was forbidden. Although for him the door was as good as non-existent, barging in like that would probably lead to the hospital security apprehending him before he could even start his work.

"Don't worry about anything else, you go in and get busy, I'll keep watch..."

But his mother Qin Qing, quite the formidable figure, bluntly gave him an absolute command.

Since the hospital was no longer reliable and there was still hope for extending life through her son, naturally she placed her hope on her son. As for the hospital... Well, let it go wherever it pleases.

Qin Qing, after all, hails from a wealthy family background. Despite not having returned to Hong Kong Island for twenty years, she was still aware of the ins and outs here.

With the situation being urgent and every moment's delay increasing the risk for Old Madam Qu's life, time waits for no one, and she didn't want to delay any further.

"Alright, this might take some time, you guys keep an eye on the door..."

Seeing his mother so anxious and worried, Qin Fang found it difficult to refuse. After briefly speaking to Qin Qing, Tang Feifei, and Shen Liang who stayed outside to protect the two women, he went straight through the door.

That door lock, for him, was as if it didn't exist at all, not serving any purpose of hindrance. Qin Fang immediately stepped into the room...

Extending the life of someone on their deathbed wasn't completely new to Qin Fang; this was his second time doing so, and his first attempt was very successful...

Inside the ward, Qin Fang looked at the old woman's withered body, her complexion very pale, clearly in a very poor state...

Frowning at the numerous tubes connected to the old woman's body, Qin Fang waved his hand and all the tubes rose into the air, twisted into a ball by him and thrown aside.

Some of these tubes could be moved, while others were not meant to be disturbed. If doctors were present, they would probably think Qin Fang wasn't saving, but killing the patient...

But Qin Fang was clearly not there to kill. Although Qin Qing outside looked very worried, she soon saw Qin Fang's hands moving like shadows, and one by one, Silver Needles in his hands danced like flying Serpents, swiftly piercing into the old woman's body...

Blocking the old woman's heart channel to slow down her vitality, Qin Fang immediately started circulating his True Qi, initiating the Restoration and clearing of the old woman's body...

In the Martial World, this was akin to the Cut Hair and Wash Marrow process. Most experts would not want to waste their True Qi so recklessly, Qin Fang was the only one who would do such a thing.

Not for this old woman who he should be calling grandmother, but solely to prevent his mother from grieving and shedding tears, that's all...

This process was extremely draining of True Qi, and ordinary Martial Artists couldn't withstand it. Firstly, their True Qi was not pure enough, and secondly, they didn't have enough True Qi stored...

But for Qin Fang, these were not problems. His True Qi had been purified by the Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva, making it exceptionally refined. Moreover, being Level 5, he possessed the volume of True Qi comparable to a martial artist at the Mid-Master Level of Level 6, more than enough for life-extension...

The process was tedious and exhausting, but Qin Fang showed no hesitation, seriously sorting out the old woman's body...

The old woman, who had already lost consciousness, gradually began to regain awareness under Qin Fang's treatment, her consciousness seemingly becoming clearer...

"Who are you? Why have you broken into my mother's ward?"

Almost at the moment when Qin Fang was about to complete his task, he suddenly heard an uproar outside the ward. He quickly glanced back and saw a middle-aged man furiously shouting...(To be continued.
