Chapter 5: Develop a New Drug
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Young Master was the first human Bai Jing saw when she opened her eyes. He was also the human that she had the deepest impression of.
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment. She felt an inexplicable sense of closeness towards this child.
She bent down and tried her best to imitate the gentle smile of a human. She patted his head and said, “Big sister is not angry.”
“Big sister?”
Bai Chen was stunned. Then, he flew to Bai Jing’s side and hugged her arm affectionately. He rubbed his little face against hers!
“I’m not dreaming, am I? It’s been a long time since big sister smiled at me!”
Bai Chen raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
Because her mother had died of depression after giving birth to Bai Chen, Bai Jing blamed it all on her younger brother. She had always hated and resisted him!
“Be good!”
Bai Jing carried him, but she felt a strange warmth on her skin. “Do you have a fever?”
She frowned at Bai Guangcai and the others and asked, “What are you all standing around for? Little Chen has a fever, why aren’t you taking him to the hospital?”
A child’s constitution was weak, so it was easy for a high fever to develop into pneumonia and other diseases!
Qi Mei looked at her and blurted out sarcastically.
“What kind of good sister role are you playing now?”
“With his illness, isn’t it normal for him to have a high fever? Haven’t you gotten used to it already?” She turned her head and sneered.
Bai Chen drooped his head dejectedly and coughed lightly.
Bai Jing took the opportunity to read the plot information. She furrowed her brows and looked at the pale-faced boy in her arms.
Bai Chen was suffering from lymphatic cancer. With the current medical standards, it was impossible to cure him!

Bai Jing lowered her head and looked at his hands that were holding her tightly. She thought that she absolutely could not let him die!
She left Bai Chen in the bedroom and went downstairs to the living room with Bai Guangcai with the pretense of discussing something. Qi Mei and Bai Yue followed her and looked at her warily. They didn’t understand what new tricks she was up to!
“I can develop a drug to treat him, but I need a sum of money to use for experiments.”
Bai Jing said straightforwardly.

However, Bai Guangcai’s expression was extremely awkward. He held his teacup and said, “What can you do? Even the top research teams don’t have a way to treat lymphoma. Can you? Don’t be naïve!”
“He’s your son. Even if there’s only a slim chance, shouldn’t you give it a try?”
Bai Jing narrowed her eyes. She could see the dirty and hypocritical thoughts in Bai Guangcai’s heart. He couldn’t bear to part with money, but he wanted to play the role of a good father!
“What do you know? Don’t meddle blindly! The so-called treatment is only increasing Chenchen’s pain! The best way to treat this disease is to recuperate quietly!”
To put it bluntly, it was to wait for death.
Bai Guangcai wanted to leave, but Bai Jing grabbed his elbow and asked coldly, “Everyone wants to live!”
“No one is willing to die! You’re just looking for an excuse…”
Bai Jing’s eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s dark thoughts, making Bai Guangcai feel a little guilty.
He really did not want to waste money on his dying son.

If he had to spend so much money, he might as well ask Qi Mei for another child!

Qi Mei’s heart ached for the money. She rushed over, grabbed Bai Jing’s hand, and said, “I don’t think you have any good intentions! You used to ignore Bai Chen, but now you want to develop a drug for him?”
“You want to scam money!” Qi Mei raised her hand, and it was about to land on her face.
Bai Jing furrowed her brows. The next second, she grabbed Qi Mei’s wrist with one hand. It looked like she didn’t use any strength, but Qi Mei was shocked to find that she couldn’t break free or use any strength. She couldn’t move!
“Be quiet, my stepmother.”
Bai Jing spat out a few words. Qi Mei felt a sense of intimidation and her heart pounded non-stop.
Bai Jing looked at Bai Guangcai, who silently agreed with Qi Mei’s words. She knew the coldness in his bones. She asked, “Are you sure you don’t care about Little Chen?”
Bai Guangcai gritted his teeth. “I don’t have any money, but I do have a life!”
Hearing his almost shameless words, she couldn’t be bothered to continue arguing with them. She shook off Qi Mei’s wrist and returned to the bedroom.
Bai Chen was hugging the doll and lying on the bed, sleeping quietly.
Bai Jing took a deep breath and decided to research cancer drugs on her own!
But now, the biggest problem was that she lacked money and laboratories to research drugs.
Money could be earned, but laboratories…
Bai Jing flipped open her laptop and searched for laboratories that could be used for drug research.
Soon, a piece of information appeared before her eyes. The most advanced and top-notch biological laboratory in the country was actually in this city?
The owner was a person named “Logan.” He did not have any additional images or photos. It seemed that he was very mysterious!
“I will save you.”
Bai Jing looked back at the boy and said softly. She picked up her coat, gently opened the door, and went out.

She planned to meet this Logan.
