Chapter: 5778

Leiqi let out a sigh and asked him, "So... Mr. Smith, are you going to bring Jimmy along? If you're together, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Jinxian Pharmaceutical Company."

James Smith thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "There's an old Chinese saying that goes:宁可信其有，不可信其无. (It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist) That being the case, I'll go to the hospital now to pick up Jimmy, then meet you at the entrance of Jinxian Pharmaceutical Company."

Leiqi said, "No problem, let's see each other at Jinxian Pharmaceutical Company."

As he was saying that, Leiqi reminded James Smith, "Oh, and Mr. Smith, my friend says this is a certain extent special operation, so we mustn't make any noise about it."

James Smith didn't hesitate and said, "I understand!"

James Smith hung up the phone and told his friends at the church, "I need to take care of some business first, so I'll have you all look after me."

Most of the friends at the church were from the US like James Smith. Among them, a few had arrived in Jinling earlier due to their religious beliefs, quickly forming connections with each other and then working together on some small charitable projects.

James Smith was also a Christian, brought his son to Jinling and settled down after which he naturally found the church and got acquainted with the others.

A few people knew about his situation, knowing that his son had a serious illness and was currently receiving chemotherapy at the day hospital of People's Hospital in Jinling. It was said that this was only a temporary delay in the progress towards death, overall James Smith's son didn't have much time left.

So, when someone heard that Smith had something to take care of, they quickly asked, "James, is something wrong? Do you need our help?"

James Smith shook his head and said, "I need to go pick up my son, then go to Jinxian Pharmaceutical Company to try my luck and see if there's any opportunity."

One person nodded and said, "If you need help with anything, feel free to contact us at any time."

"Okay," James Smith replied, hastily leaving the church and taking a taxi to People's Hospital.

Since arriving in Jinling, they had initially brought their child to Jinling and set up a residence there, then started chemotherapy using the same plan as in the US. At first, he stayed at a hotel near the hospital until his wife Jenny got everything arranged back in the States, bringing their daughter along with her. They later rented an apartment near the hospital.

James Smith followed Leiqi's advice and spent every day busy doing some charity work in Jinling. His wife Jenny would take care of their child's chemotherapy and check-ups at the hospital, then bring them home to rest in the evening.

"Mike's cancer has actually entered its terminal stage, and all the chemotherapy drugs being used are the best and latest on the market, but even so, it's unable to cure the cancer, only able to delay the spread of cancer cells as much as possible.

For cancer patients, the best outcome is to find the cancer at its early stages and have it removed, whereas if the cancer has already metastasized, the best outcome would be finding a target drug available.

However, people are different, with different genes. Some people are lucky enough to find a target point in their genes, which allows them to rely on targeted therapy for very good treatment results.

Others may not be so lucky, unable to find any target points in their genes, making it impossible to use targeted therapy for treatment.

If there's no available target drug, then only traditional chemotherapy and radiation remain.

Mike's current situation is that chemotherapy has become his last barrier, but James Smith is well aware that this last barrier is already on the brink of collapse, able to withstand the test of time for only a few months at most.

James Smith walked into the hospital room with ease, where every bed in the ward was occupied by a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy.

Among these cancer patients, Mike's age is the youngest.

Originally, there was a 5-year-old leukemia patient who had just been approved for clinical trials by Nine Phoenix Pharmaceuticals and was transferred to their internal laboratory for treatment.

At that time, James Smith was very envious, but envy was no help. According to Nine Phoenix Pharmaceuticals' scoring system, children who are young, have severe symptoms, and face financial difficulties often get priority selection." JrNovels.com
