Chapter 57: What A Small World

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

For the entire day, the atmosphere in the Coastal Rescue Team was very tense.

Although people were still doing their work, there was almost no conversation, especially for Robio and Fali.

Everyone knew what had happened. Of course, nobody knew whether what Robio had done was right or wrong.

“Fali, we should talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk, you murderer!” Fali stared at Robio with great resentment.

“Fali, you need to understand that the longer Walter lives for, the more he will suffer.”

“I have already found a way to heal him. If I had just a bit more time—just a bit—I could have healed him! You’re a murderer; you killed Walter!”

Robio did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Fali, wake up.”

“No. I’m telling the truth. There’s someone who can heal Walter. If I replace the person, it will definitely work.”

“Fine. Where’s the person you’re talking about?”

“I don’t know. My sister’s a doctor. Two of her patients have late-stage cancer, but now they’re all discharged from the hospital. Moreover, one of them has healed completely. I heard that a mysterious person has treated them. Faur and I have been trying to replace that person for the whole of yesterday.”

“So did you replace him?”

“No. Faur said that she only knows that person is an Asian called Chen.”

Robio was momentarily stunned. “Are you sure?”

“Faur told me that.”

“Do you remember that the doctor yesterday was also an Asian called Chen.”

“So what? Do you think that cold-blooded guy is the person I’m looking for? Also, even if I replace him now, what can I do? Walter’s already dead. It’s never coming back.”

Robio turned around and left in silence. Was Walter cured?

Did Chen heal it?

Robio was somewhat suspicious about Fali’s words.

What is cancer? Everyone in the world knows that it is an incurable disease.

Perhaps he should confirm everything again.

Robio walked to a corner and called Chen Zhao, “Chen.”

“Yes?”

“Did you heal Walter of his disease?”

“Robio, are you ill? That’s a weird thing to say.”

“Chen, I heard that you’ve cured cancer in the past.”

“Nonsense. Who said that?”

Hearing Chen Zhao’s denial, Robio was even more doubtful of what Fali had said.

“Robio, I’m applying for leave.” Fali walked behind Robio, shocking him out of his wits.

“Are you still unable to get over it?”

“No. I’ve promised Faur that we must replace that person.”

“There’s about a million Asians in Los Angeles. How are you going to replace him?”

“One of the patients that the mysterious person has cured is Faur’s teacher. I think she’s called Wright, a college professor.”

Robio was puzzled once again. Wright? College professor?

It can’t be that coincidental.

Robio’s great-grandmother was also a college professor called Wright.

If it was really his great-grandmother, then he had really failed as a great-grandson.

He did not know about it at all.

Robio took out his phone. “Hey, Wright.”

“Robio, how long has it been since you last visited me? Both you and your dad don’t care about me at all.”

“I’m sorry, Wright.” Self-blame could be heard in Robio’s words. “Wright, I heard that you have... Cancer?”

“Did Ethan tell you that?”

“How are you now?”

“I’m teaching now. Let’s talk later.” Wright hung up.

Wright was clearly avoiding the topic. She was happy when she first received the call, but she hung up immediately when Robio asked her about her cancer.

Could it be that... she’s really cured?

...

“Faur, why are you here?”

“Professor, I want to talk about that again.”

“Faur, you need to understand that if that person doesn’t want to admit it, nobody can force him to, including you and me.”

“At least you should give me his contact. I believe that I can convince him.”

“Faur, I can’t give you his number without his consent. I can help you to ask him, and I’ll respect his decision.”

This was not the first time Wright had answered Faur in this way. Clearly, Faur was unable to accept such an outcome.

“Professor, you’re a doctor too. Do you not what such knowledge to be spread to the entire world?”

“Faur, I understand you, but have you thought about this: what if his technique can’t be spread? Do you know how much trouble this will cause him?”

“I only know that if I don’t try anything, it’ll be really irresponsible.”

“But now you’re invading his privacy.”

“I’m doing this for countless patients.”

“That’s not a reason.”

“I feel that the countless patients in the world are more important.”

“Then I think you should go and convince those pharmaceutical companies. They have the formulas and have monopolized the entire market. If they can release the formulas, more people will be saved. I still have another lesson; I need to leave now.”

After speaking, Wright turned around and left. Faur was somewhat frustrated but also helpless.

“Faur, how about we let it go?”

“No, I’m not going to give up. Do you want those whom you love die one after another?”

“He’s already dead.”

“Oh... I’m sorry, Fali.”

“It’s fine. Perhaps to him, death is fortunate. At least he doesn’t have to suffer anymore.”

...

Chen Zhao brought his entire “family” to Ethan’s place for free food. Even Blackie was here.

“Chen, you’re have already moved out. Why are you still coming here everything for breakfast?”

“Your breakfast is super delicious! Look at how fast Walter’s eating.”

“Walter? It’s the same name as the legend of the Coastal Rescue Team... Wait, is it the same dog?”

“They couldn’t save him, but I did. Now he’s mine.”

“Bastard! It’s seducing my Sasha!” Ethan suddenly roared.

“Walter, nice.”

“The first time Beelzebub saw Sasha, it also wanted to mount her. The same thing was happening with Walter. Is your entire family made up of this kind of bastard?”

Woof, woof!

Beelzebub was furious. It was obviously Raymond’s fault, not his.

Out of a sudden, Raymond who had been coiled up on the chair attacked Beelzebub without any warning.

The snake and the dog started grappling with each other again. Ethan was already long used to it.

“Chen, can you train Sasha until she’s as clever as your pets?”

“No problem. Ten thousand dollars and I promise Sasha’s even smarter than you.”

“Only a fool will spend ten thousand dollars to make his pet smarter than himself.”

To Beelzebub, being plotted by Raymond that time was the most humiliating thing in his whole demon life.

Ethan still envied Chen Zhao and his “pets.” That was also why he had adopted Sasha.

However, Sasha was not nearly as clever as Beelzebub and the rest. In fact, even the new member Walter was better.

To most people, raising a pet involves much emotions. Even if a person’s pet is not as good as someone else’s, it is still his pet after all. Regardless of what he says, he would still feel that his pet is the best.

Suddenly, a spiritless Asian woman walked in and asked in a choppy tone, “May I ask if you still have a room available?”
