Chapter 134: 134: Little Brother Who Won’t Live Past 18

"What did you just say?! The little brother won’t live past 18? You must be joking, right? How old is the little brother..."

Zhan Jingmo always knew that his little brother’s health wasn’t good, frequently falling ill, but he never thought that the sickly boy would die so early?!

But when he stared intently at his older brother and saw him nod slightly, he couldn’t help but exclaim: "Hasn’t the little brother always been well taken care of? And you even got so many doctors for him, isn’t that doctor Zeng quite capable? How could he not cure the little brother? Even if he can’t, it shouldn’t be..."

"Otherwise, do you think mom and dad heard some sudden news and rushed abroad to beg others?" Remembering how their parents had knelt to someone, Zhan Jingwen felt a pain in his heart, "and even knelt down."

The last sentence was spoken through gritted teeth.

"What?! Our parents..."

"That’s it, and yet the others still weren’t willing to come out of retirement."

Zhan Jingmo’s mood suddenly turned heavy: "Is there really no way to save the little brother’s illness? When did we find out?"

He suddenly felt like a real bastard, being jealous of his little brother ever since he was young, causing trouble all around and making everyone worry, always envying the little brother.

But in fact, due to his little brother’s health, there were many things he couldn’t do; he wasn’t allowed to do this or that, staying cooped up at home all day, unable to even attend school normally, let alone go out and play.

"We knew shortly after the little brother was born."

"That early?!" Wait a minute, he seemed to have heard his family mention it before, but he didn’t take it seriously.

He saw the little brother living well, and with medical technology being so advanced, he thought that even if it couldn’t be cured, the little brother would still live a long life.

"Hmm!" Zhan Jingwen nodded.

"Is there really no way? The little brother is only a few months away from turning 18..." Zhan Jingmo couldn’t imagine that in a few months, the energetic little brother would just...

Only when facing the loss did he realize that he actually cared about this little brother.

It was just that he had been too envious of the family’s love for the little brother, overlooking it all along.

Just thinking about it made him uncomfortable, he couldn’t imagine how heartbroken the parents who loved the little brother so much were when they found out the truth?

"Are mom and dad okay?" Zhan Jingmo felt he’d been too unfilial; such a big thing had happened at home, and he didn’t know a thing.

"Did you know the little brother was kidnapped a while ago?" Zhan Jingwen suddenly dropped a bomb.

"What?! The little brother was kidnapped? When did this happen? Why didn’t I hear even a whisper of it?"

"On the day you came back, I brought the little brother back; he had been outside for almost half a month..." Zhan Jingwen said, "If it weren’t for the little brother’s luck in meeting his idol, getting rescued together, he might not even make it to 18."

"I...I really didn’t know, I didn’t know the little brother was... I’m sorry, big brother, I didn’t mean it that day. If I knew, I absolutely wouldn’t have brought up such issues."

No wonder his big brother hit him that day; if it were him, having just brought the little brother back, only to encounter an ignorant sibling, it could’ve been more than just a slap.

Zhan Jingwen patted his shoulder: "It’s fine, the little brother didn’t blame you. You didn’t come back that night, so the little brother didn’t sleep at all, dreaming you were in trouble."

Zhan Jingmo didn’t speak; he didn’t know what he should say.

"As long as everyone is safe, nothing is more important than people. I called mom and dad; they’re coming back tomorrow. Then, a very important guest will come home, and whether there’s hope for the little brother’s illness will depend on this guest..."

"Is there hope for the little brother’s illness?"

"Hmm." Zhan Jingmo nodded, "Didn’t I just say, the little brother was lucky; he was saved by someone when he was kidnapped. This person is a very good doctor, there might be hope to cure the little brother."

Throughout the day, Zhan Jingmo’s emotions had swung from hell to heaven, then from heaven to hell, fluctuating many times; he almost thought he would have a heart attack.

Now that there was hope for the little brother’s illness again, what did the older brother mean by saying all this to him?

Could it be just to torment him?

"Wasn’t it said that the little brother’s illness couldn’t be cured?"

Zhan Jingmo’s mood was strange, not knowing whether he hoped the little brother’s illness couldn’t be cured or that it could be cured quickly.

"It was only said to have hope."

Recalling ended there, Zhan Jingmo watched his mom warmly banter with the little brother and then started asking his older brother if he had taken good care of the little brother. He was speechless.

The little brother himself is right here, isn’t he? Mom, didn’t you just ask the little brother himself?

Is this necessary?

"Second brother, do you want some?" Zhan Jingshu handed him the specialty snacks their mom had specially brought back from abroad.

"I don’t want any!" Zhan Jingmo was about to refuse but suddenly remembered the little brother’s health, swallowed back his words, reluctantly took a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hmm, it’s okay."

Zhan Jingshu was delighted. Usually, the second brother barely paid attention to him, but this time he not only ate what he offered but also talked to him.

Excited, Zhan Jingshu broke into a beaming smile.

The smile was a bit glaring, at least Zhan Jingmo thought so: Why is it so silly?

"Jingmo, I heard from your older brother that you’ve been behaving well lately, staying at home and out of trouble. You’ve finally grown up!" At this moment, their mom, Fu Chunxue, spoke with a face full of relief.

Zhan Jingmo was a bit dazed: What had he done?! Why did mom have such low expectations of him? And hasn’t he been out a lot recently?

He looked up to find that it was his big brother who had lied on his behalf. He was somewhat depressed; his big brother was too dumb, right? Whether he was home or not wasn’t for him alone to say, there were so many people in the house, anyone could expose it.

Especially the second uncle’s family, constantly wishing he would get into huge trouble and be kicked out. That way, with one less person to share the inheritance, the second family could get a bigger share.

"Yes, yes, the second brother has been staying home with me these days." Zhan Jingshu added from behind.

Zhan Jingmo: That was because he was injured, staying home to recover, okay?

Mom’s way of showing care was to hug and kiss him, a grown man now undergoing this again. Isn’t it embarrassing?

Zhan Jingmo was somewhat unwilling, but unable to refuse, he was forcibly pulled into his mom’s embrace for a kiss.

"My Jingmo is getting more handsome!"

Zhan Jingmo: I’m blushing!

And dad’s way of showing care was giving pocket money, with a wave of his hand, a huge check arrived in his grip.
