Chapter 343
Reign sighed and said. “They are extorting, but I don’t have a choice.
“My brother’s illness is too strange. He can’t be cured even by famous experts. Only Whileal Kingdom’s technology can give him a chance of survival.
“For him. I have to compromise.”
As she spoke, her eyes became even more sorrowful, and the worry between her brows increased.
As the Labenz family’s CEO, she held a lot of power and received countless dividends every year. However, most of the money was extorted by that hospital.
Once she was kicked out of the CEO position, the money she would get would definitely be pitifully little.
By then, her brother’s treatment would probably be stopped.
Haylan frowned slightly and said, “Have you ever thought that if you live such a difficult and painful life, sometimes it might be better to let go?
“Maybe your brother doesn’t want to live in such pain
“You’re wrong. He wants to live!!!” Reign shook her head with a determined gaze.
“How do you know that he wants to live!” Haylan was stunned.
Reign’s expression was solemn. “Do you still remember the time I went overseas for business?”
Haylan nodded.
Reign continued. “Actually, a business trip was just a cover. I went overseas mainly to find a precious thing that could wake my brother up, the Ghost Shadow Flower!
“A mysterious person told me that such a flower can cure my brother’s illnesst
“However, Longhard Kingdom doesn’t have such a flower. I can only look for it overseas.
“Before I set off. I specially flew to Whileal Kingdom to see my brother and ask for his opinion.
“He can’t hear me, but I can feel him listening
“I told him to move his eyelids three times if he wanted to live.
“In the end, he really moved his eyelids three times.
“From then on, I understood that although he had been experiencing pain, he had always wanted to live.
“So, whatever happens, I can’t give him up! Because he’s the only one I’ve got in the world.”
At this point, her eyes were even more determined than before.
Haylan got to the point. “Did you just say Ghost Shadow Flower? What is this?”
“I don’t know what it is, either That mysterious person told me. Oh, and I still have a picture of it
“Furthermore, according to the colors, roots, and textures of the flowers drawn by that person, I especially found an artist to redraw it.”
Reign took out her phone, opened the photo, and handed it to Haylan. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, “You’re knowledgeable. Help me take a look. Do you know this flower?”
Haylan took a look.
There were two pictures on the phone. The one on the left was hand-drawn and looked rough.
The one on the right was a carefully drawn color painting. The flowers were even colored and lifelike.
It was a flower with nine petals and two roots. Its entire body was dark blue, and the patterns were spiral-shaped. It bloomed with a faint light, like a ghost in the night. It was quite strange.
Haylan shook his head and said. “No.”
When Reign heard this, her eyes were filled with disappointment, and she became even more worried.
She put her phone away and took another sip of cola.
However, no matter how sweet the cola was, it could not nourish her heart.
All these years, she had been looking for a way to save her brother. For this reason, she had specially set up a research and development department to develop various new drugs in hopes of finding a way to save her brother.
She had been worried sick about her brother.
Even though she was living a luxurious life and had a net worth of billions of dollars, she still could not feel happy and always looked depressed.
Now that she heard that Haylan didn’t know Ghost Shadow Flower either, she was even more disappointed.
When Haylan saw Reign like this, he immediately understood Landon Katz’s good intentions.
Reign had suffered too much. He could not give her hope and disappoint her again. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand such pain.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine, Haylan said.
“Yeah, everything’s gonna be okay.”
Reign nodded and repeated Haylan’s words. She seemed to be comforting herself but also seemed to he cheering herself on. At this moment, the waiter brought over their food.
He cut the empanada into slices for them
In an instant, the smell of food was everywhere.
On the plates, the tacos were full of stuffings sided with yuriny dippings. The empanada was still hot with blueberry jam running outside.
This is the smell. It’s so great! It made me think about the old times”
Haylan took a deep breath and his eyes lit up.
This tasted exactly the same as eight years ago. There was no change at all.
Well, in other words, it had become better than eight years ago!
Looking at the sliced empanada and smelling the food, Reign’s appetite was whetted. Her depressed and worried mood improved a little.
Soon, the waiter placed the cream cakes on the table.
