Chapter 1584 – Maybe Did An Unnecessary Thing

In the 21st century, cancer was undoubtedly worthy of the title of a terminal illness.

Not only because of the unpredictable pathogenic mechanism and the early symptoms that were difficult to detect but also because once the cancer cells developed to the later stages and after the cancer cells had spread throughout the body, there was almost no absolutely effective treatment.

Especially for some cancers like lung cancer, whether one could survive in the end was basically dependent on fate.

However, this was the 21st century, where an ordinary virus could plunge the world into a pandemic.

After the 22nd century, nano-robots, radiological organs, and implanted prostheses were widely used in the medical industry, and cancer was no longer a big problem.

It was no longer called a terminal illness.

In this prosperous utopian era, as long as the money was in place, it was impossible for a person to die.

Even if they did die, they could stay alive in another form…

?Congratulations, Ms. Vera, your lung cancer has been cured, and I hope you cherish your hard-won health… In addition, welcome to the 22nd century. The Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation will contact you and explain the matters and how to start a new life.?

Vera, who was sitting on the bed, heard the doctor standing next to the bed read these words.

The cancer was like a cold that was easily cured; it was barely worth mentioning.

However…

Was it worth it?

22nd century, so… 100 years later.

Waking up in a world without him, I would rather keep on sleeping…

A trace of sorrow and grief surged in her chest, but looking at the doctor standing by the bed, Vera still thanked him politely and weakly, then watched him leave the ward.

?… You have just had an operation and your body is still recovering. It would be better to lie down.?

Hearing the sound of concern coming from the side, Vera slowly turned her face, and she saw a young nurse standing there, smiling at her.

?Thanks…?

?You?re welcome. Taking care of patients is our job.? The nurse continued with a smile on her face, ?My name is Qian Xiuxiu, how about you??

Isn?t my name in the medical record?

Despite thinking this, she politely introduced herself.

?… Vera Pulyuy.?

?Vera Pulyuy? We rarely have foreigners here. You are the first dormant with a foreign face I have seen here.?

?I was put to sleep in 2022.?

?I see,? the nurse said with a gentle smile, ?100 years, it must be difficult to sleep for so long. You should rest well, I will bring dinner for you later. ?

?I?m not sleepy…? Vera, who was sitting with her back against the pillow, was silent for a while while holding the quilt with her hands gently. She said softly, ?Just now, I had a very long dream…?

After hearing these words, the nurse showed a look of surprise on her face.

?Although I haven?t tried frozen dormancy, in theory, you shouldn?t have dreams under cryosleep.?

If this is the case, it will be an incredible discovery in medicine.

So far, how to combine neural interface systems with cryo-sleep technology had always been the most cutting-edge research field in academia. It was the first time that she heard someone could have memories similar to dreaming during cryo-sleep.

The vast majority of people just closed their eyes and opened them, teleporting from the past to the future.

However, this kind of profound thing was still a bit too esoteric for an ordinary nurse like her.

?What kind of dream was it??

?It feels like… I was looking back over the past two decades of life.? Vera showed a weak smile on her face. Staring at the ceiling with a complicated expression, she continued, ?I saw my childhood self, and also saw a… very familiar person speak to me through a thick fog.?

After waking up, she couldn?t remember most of the dreams. She just vaguely felt that she seemed to have missed something very important.

?Unbelievable, you can remember the things in your dreams so clearly.? Qian Xiuxiu said in a relaxed tone but with a surprised expression on her face, ?But this reminds me of a rumor.?

?… What rumor??

?That?s the story of another dormant. He told us after he woke up, that when he was asleep, he felt his parents stand on the edge of the bed and talked to him a lot. He insisted the parents were still alive and wanted to see them. But in fact, they passed away decades ago.?

Qian Xiuxiu smiled embarrassedly and felt that the story she was telling was too bizarre.

?Of course… We all agreed that it might be because he missed his parents, thus causing hallucinations.?

?I?m sure that was not a hallucination!? Vera?s voice increased by a few decibels, and she suddenly realized that she was excited. She took a breath, calmed herself down quickly, and continued in a low tone, ?If it was an illusion… the person I saw in my dream wouldn?t have been her, it would have been him instead.?

Qian Xiuxiu stared at the emotional patient for a while. She then spoke softly.

?Leaving the life you are familiar with is not an easy task, but I believe that the relatives, friends, and lovers who sent you to this era must have greater courage. Just for living up to this courage and expectations, please stay strong in this new world.?

As if agreeing with this statement, Vera was silent for a while and nodded gently.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of a problem and couldn?t help but whisper, ?Speaking of which, the hospitalization fees…?

?You don?t have to worry about this,? the nurse said with a gentle smile, ?Most of your expenses have been paid before you went dormant. And the extra part, about two days ago, a distinguished person came here to visit you, and all of them were paid.?

The expression on her face gradually changed from surprise to disbelief, and the sorrow and grief that covered her chest gradually turned into a hint of excitement.

Her hands that were pinching the quilt trembled slightly.

Although she knew it was impossible, she still asked in a trembling voice, ?Who was it??

?He didn?t leave a name, he just asked me to pass along a sentence.?

?What sentence?!?

The nurse?s face turned red, and she whispered, ?He only said one thing… ?I miss you so much?.?

The moment she heard these words, Vera?s face turned red, and she slowly slid down on the bed, burying her warm face in the quilt.

Ah…

It has to be him!

Even if he?s a grandfather over a hundred years old, it doesn?t matter!

The important thing is that he is still alive!

The originally gray world suddenly became stained with color; even the pure white ceiling suddenly became brighter than before.

Although no one told her where she was in this world, at this moment, she felt that every cell in her body was given a new meaning.

I really want to… see you.

…

Pan-Asian Cooperation headquarters.

Li Guangya, who was sitting in the office, was drinking coffee during the lunch break.

His secretary, Wei Song, was standing nearby. He hesitated and finally couldn?t help but speak.

?Mr. Chairman.?

?What??

?With all due respect, you shouldn?t have done that extra thing…?

In any case, speaking in the name of someone else is always not good.

Especially when it can cause misunderstandings.

In an instant, Li Guangya knew what the secretary was complaining about. Li Guangya smiled happily, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and leaned back in the office chair as he replied, ?Really? But don?t you think it would be interesting??

Wei Song suddenly felt a little headache.

Although it was his idea to wake that person from dormancy for Academician Lu, he never thought that the chairman would add so much drama.

After all, many things were just their speculations based on unconfirmed history. If Vera didn?t feel that way, wouldn?t it be embarrassing?

?But if Academician Lu knew…?

?Then he definitely would not blame me. I just gave him a small push, and whether to take that step forward, the choice is still up to him.? Li Guangya said slowly, ?Not to mention who can prove that I was there. You? Will you betray me??

?Of course I won?t betray you.?

?Good.? Li Guangya continued calmly, ?By the way, go and say hello to the person from the Security Bureau to see if anyone he knows is dormant… If so, tell me, or don?t tell me at all, just wake them up as soon as possible. The cost will be reimbursed by me.?

Wei Song smiled bitterly and nodded.

?Okay…?

I feel like this guy is doing too much…
