"Afraid of what?" Seeing Zhang Xiaobei's expression, Hao Jie suddenly felt an ominous premonition stir within him.
"That's right, Brother Zhang, out with it, what are you afraid of?" Deputy County Chief Li, standing to one side, couldn't help but speak up.
Zhang Xiaobei pondered for a long while before slowly saying, "I'm afraid he won't last much longer."
Those simple words, like a bolt from the blue, left Hao Jie frozen on the spot.
She knew the condition of her husband, but she had not anticipated it being so serious, serious to the point of no return.
She had thought about such a day coming, but she hadn't expected it to come so soon.
"Young brother, since you've been hailed as a miracle doctor, you must have a way to solve this, right?" Hao Jie's eyes were full of desperation as she stared at Zhang Xiaobei, hoping to hear even a sliver of hope from him.
