Chapter 64 The Impermanence of Life
Gao Zhan arranged for the company to send someone to pick up the RV. He and Cheng Jia took the plane back to EEDS in Linzhi via BJ.

The people in the family were very surprised when they saw them. It was obvious that they were going out to relax, and the two of them seemed to have gone for a hike: Cheng Jia's face turned dark for a while, Gao Zhan's face became thinner, and his spirit was also very poor.

Cheng Jia said: "It's always exposed to wind and sun when going out, and the skin is almost dry!"

Cheng Cheng hugged his mother's neck, "Mom, I miss you! Can you take Cheng Cheng with you next time?"

Gao Zhan took Cheng Cheng and said slowly after a while: "Next time we don't go to such a difficult place, we will take Cheng Cheng with us!"

Gao Zhan actually felt that holding Chengcheng was a bit difficult, and his heart sank.

Cheng Jia distributed gifts to everyone, Cheng Cheng jumped up and down excitedly, and the family talked and laughed in the living room.

Gao Zhan sat on the sofa and watched them for a while, feeling sleepy and weak, he kissed his son and went back to his room to rest.

When Cheng Jia returned to the bedroom, Gao Zhan had already fallen asleep.

His eyes were tightly shut, the eyelashes covered under the lids, blending with the dark circles, and his cheeks were visibly thinner.Cheng Jia regretted that she proposed to go to XZ at the beginning——Gao Zhan was obviously not used to it.

She got into the quilt, Gao Zhan hugged her in a daze, and kissed her naturally.

Cheng Jia saw that Gao Zhan had woken up, and said softly, "Honey, do you look a little ugly?"

Gao Zhan replied vaguely: "I'm a little tired, probably drunk!"

Cheng Jia brought the milk to Gao Zhan.

"Drink it! You eat a little bit!"

Gao Zhan sat up and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, he felt his stomach was full. He said:
"It's strange that I don't feel hungry!"

Cheng Jia reached out to his stomach and rubbed it gently.

"We have been tossing and tossing so much, take a good rest during this time, and don't go to the company!"

Gao Zhan nodded, turned around and fell asleep.

For several days, Cheng Jia and Gao Zhan rested at home. Cheng Jia felt that she had almost recovered. She put on her makeup and was ready to go to the company.

Gao Zhan came out of the bedroom, he had a terrible appetite these days, Cheng Jia had to go to the hospital several times, but he refused.At this moment, Gao Zhan had sunken eye sockets, a sallow complexion, and a sickly expression.

"You wait for me, let's go together!"

Cheng Jia looked at Gao Zhan's haggard look, and said distressedly:

"Take another two days off! The company doesn't have anything particularly important, I'll go and have a look and come back!"

When she finished speaking, Gao Zhan had already dressed.

Cheng Jia pouted, blaming Gao Zhan for being disobedient.But he stretched out his arms and let Cheng Jia carry him, then grabbed her hand and put it in his pocket.

Cheng Jia leaned into Gao Zhan's ear with a smile, and said, "Okay! But husband, you have to accompany me to the physical examination tomorrow, and it's time for me to go to the gynecology department! By the way, you can also have a checkup."

Cheng Jia was afraid that Gao Zhan would refuse.

Gao Zhan nodded very docilely.

The company is already on the right track. Usually, the general manager handles the daily business. Occasionally, Gao Zhan needs to make decisions on particularly important matters, so the work is easier than before.

But if he didn't go to the company for many days, it was still inevitable to sign a lot of documents, and then listened to the work report of the relevant person in charge. Gao Zhan was so busy that it was noon in the blink of an eye.

He had a bad appetite, Cheng Jia took him to drink porridge, he didn't want to drink after two sips, Cheng Jia fed him, and even threw up.

"We'll check in a while! Something's wrong with you!" Cheng Jia said decisively.

Gao Zhan was also a little flustered, but he didn't object.In fact, he has been unwell for a long time. At the beginning, he always thought it was because of too much pressure. The company's series of actions and the competition and entanglement with Li Ye made him physically and mentally exhausted.I thought it would be good to go on a trip with Cheng Jia to relax, but in XZ I found that my body was deteriorating: I have no energy, no strength, and he can't even catch up with Cheng Jia's physical fitness.

Cheng Jia made an appointment for the specialist number in the afternoon, and they came to the gastroenterology department as soon as the hospital started work.

After listening to their stories, the doctor prescribed a series of examination items.

Cheng Jia saw the painful expressions of the people coming out of the examination room, and was a little flustered. She grabbed Gao Zhan's hand:
"Have you had a gastroscopy?"

Gao Zhan said lightly: "No, I seldom come to the hospital! I'm as strong as a cow, I guess I ate too much fat intestines this time!"

Cheng Jia thought about it, during these days, Gao Zhan ate a little more of the sausage rolls, and most of them put it down after a few bites.

"Well, it's possible. On the plateau, our physiology must be different from that on the plain. After the examination, take some medicine and you'll be fine!"

After a long time, it was their turn to do the examination. Gao Zhan went in after drinking the medicine, Cheng Jia was outside alone, suddenly a little nervous, she shook her head.

"Gao Zhan is so strong, what can happen?"

After a long time, almost three times the time of examining the patients before, Gao Zhan came out, his face was pale, and his steps were a little vain.

Cheng Jia supported him and asked, "How did the inspection go?"

Gao Zhan waved his hand to indicate that Cheng Jia was fine.Then he sat on a chair to rest, and said hoarsely: "This examination is too uncomfortable."

After 5 minutes, the test results came out.Cheng Jia looked at the dense description above, and panicked in her heart.

As soon as Gao Zhan reached out his hand, Cheng Jia grabbed him and pulled him up, saying, "Let's ask the doctor, there are so many, who can understand what it means?"

Gao Zhan wanted to see the result, but he obviously felt that Cheng Jia was trembling, so he simply stopped watching. He was staring at Cheng Jia all the way...

After seeing the result, the doctor didn't speak for a long time, looked at Gao Zhan, and asked about his age.

Then he yelled loudly, "Has the family members come?"

Cheng Jia stepped forward quickly: "Here we come!"

"Come and come out with me, there is still an inspection result, come out and get it!"

Cheng Jia followed the doctor to another room.

As soon as he entered the door, the doctor asked Cheng Jia to sit down.

"Who are you as a patient?"

"My love!" Cheng Jia was extremely nervous, her hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

"You have to be mentally prepared. Your lover has a tumor under the stomach, which has almost blocked the bottom..."

Cheng Jia's face lost all color, and she asked, "What does that mean?"

"It means that the patient needs to be operated on immediately, and we need to conduct further examinations. If it is benign, it can be resected, but it is very likely to be malignant. We need to see if it has spread..."

Cheng Jia felt that she couldn't breathe out after taking in one breath. She covered her chest, opened her mouth wide, and her whole body was trembling.

"Doctor, I don't understand? What do you mean?"

Seeing that Cheng Jia's expression was not right, the doctor hurriedly stood up and supported her.

"He may have stomach cancer and needs immediate surgery! Further diagnosis is also needed."

Cheng Jia couldn't breathe out the breath she was hanging on. Her eyes went dark, and at the last moment of losing consciousness, she heard the doctor exclaim in a daze, and then Gao Zhan rushed in.

When she woke up, she turned her head and met Gao Zhan who was sitting beside her bed.

"Gao Zhan! Let's change to another hospital for another examination. There is something wrong with this hospital!"

Cheng Jia got out of bed in a hurry, but couldn't find her shoes, so she jumped down and searched.

"Cheng Jia! I know there must be something wrong with me! I also feel that it's not a good disease."

Cheng Jia stood on the ground barefoot.

"How is it possible? You have always been in good health. You carry me like a schoolbag. You still have such a good appetite..."

When Cheng Jia talked about his appetite, he remembered that Gao Zhan hadn't eaten much for a long time, so he started to cry.

"Gao Zhan, if we change to another hospital, the examination must be wrong!"

Gao Zhan nodded.

Cheng Jia pulled out her shoes from under the bed and put them on quickly.She wants to take Gao Zhan to BJ for examination, it must be that the EEDS hospital made a mistake.

Her tone suddenly became tough: "Gao Zhan! Let's go home and go to BJ tomorrow!"

Gao Zhan looked at her, looking at her affectionately.

Cheng Jia couldn't bear the look in his eyes, and collapsed all of a sudden.

"What are you looking at me for? What are you looking at me for? Don't look at me like that! They got it wrong, you just have indigestion!"

Gao Zhan said slowly: "Cheng Jia, indigestion won't make you feel weak!"

"Is that because you haven't eaten much?"

Seeing Cheng Jia's pale face, Gao Zhan suddenly couldn't bear it. He whispered, "Cheng Jia, let's go home!"

Gao Zhan stood up slowly from the chair, then his body softened, and he supported the bed.

Cheng Jia's tears couldn't stop streaming down, "It must be a wrong examination! No one is in better health than Gao Zhan!"

She supported Gao Zhan and walked out slowly, suddenly felt that Gao Zhan was much heavier, and she could hardly lift him up.

It was always Gao Zhan who held her waist. It was the first time Cheng Jia helped him so seriously, and Cheng Jia was heartbroken.

When he got home, Cheng Cheng ran to Gao Zhan's lap, arguing for his father to hug him.Gao Zhan touched his head and squatted down.

"Cheng Cheng, go find grandma, dad has a cold today and is not feeling well!" Cheng Jia said calmly.

Cheng Cheng pouted and walked away.Gao Zhan was a little annoyed:
"As for? I'm about to hug him!"

Cheng Jia didn't speak, she helped Gao Zhan to the second floor, Gao Zhan closed his eyes slowly, feeling extremely heartbroken...

The kitchen stewed bird's nest, but Gao Zhan didn't eat a bite.

Cheng Jia felt like thousands of ants were crawling in her heart. She ran to the bathroom, covered her mouth, and cried silently.

In any case, she would never believe that Gao Zhan had stomach cancer, and she couldn't wait for a moment.

Cheng Jia called Wang Yi, the general manager of the company, and said that she was going to BJ for a physical examination, and asked the company to send a driver and office director to go with her, and set off immediately.

Wang Yi asked: "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm very uncomfortable, my stomach is uncomfortable, how can I arrange it, can I try to get checked tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Cheng Jia rolled his eyes twice: "Finally have time to check, hang up the chairman's number as well!"

"Okay! I'll let them come to your house in half an hour."

……

Cheng Jia came out of the bathroom: Gao Zhan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

She suddenly felt full of strength in her heart. This man has been protecting herself. Now, no matter whether he is diagnosed or not, she will do her best to protect him.

Putting Gao Zhan's thick hands on her body, Cheng Jia couldn't help crawling to Gao Zhan's side, and stuffed her hands into his palms—as long as Gao Zhan held her, his warm palms would immediately make her feel warm. To calm herself down and stop panicking, she needs this kind of strength.Cheng Jia gently leaned against Gao Zhan's chest, tears overflowing.

Gao Zhan still had his eyes closed, but he firmly grasped Cheng Jia's hand.In a low voice and slowly said:

"Cheng Jia, I have always been afraid that I would leave before you, because I haven't spent enough time with you, I want to accompany you again, and watch Cheng Cheng grow up, but maybe God thinks too much for me, I can't bear it!"

Cheng Jia's heart was clenched into a ball, as if being rubbed, and it hurt so much.

"Gao Zhan, you are not allowed to talk nonsense! The doctor is just suspicious, and the test results have not yet come out, and the diagnosis has not yet been confirmed."

Gao Zhan gently stroked Cheng Jia's hair.Said softly: "I have prepared a will a long time ago and put it in the safe. My deposits, real estate, shares, and minerals are all listed clearly. I have done a notarization. I have no relatives. I have left some money for my sister to retire. , leave the rest to you and Cheng Cheng. I had a premonition when the doctor told you to go out... This day will come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

Gao Zhan burst into tears: "Fortunately, I arranged the honeymoon in time, otherwise I would not be able to close my eyes even if I died."

He caressed Cheng Jia's face: beautiful wife, beautiful family, wealth, maybe he has too much, and God will take it back.

Cheng Jia's eyes widened, and her heart was filled with anger and pain.

"Gao Zhan! What are you talking about? We haven't diagnosed yet! What do you think about this? I won't accept any wills. Without you, what use are those to me? No matter what, you have to stay by my side, don't you Feel free to lose heart! We're going to BJ's right now, there must be a mistake!"

Gao Zhan said helplessly: "People have to face the reality, I am not discouraged, I will actively treat, but in case... I will always arrange for you two..."

Gao Zhan broke down in tears.

Cheng Jia hugged Gao Zhan, heartbroken beyond measure. At this point, Gao Zhan never mentioned himself, and still missed her and Cheng Cheng. She wished that the tumor would grow on her body.

Cheng Jia hugged Gao Zhan to her heart, and she hugged him tightly. She could want nothing, but she couldn't live without Gao Zhan, absolutely not!
