Riggs was shocked when he heard it. "It's terrible?" Carter cried and said, "My mother may be dying soon."

After understanding, Regus learned that Carter's mother had been ill for a long time. At first, it was just a mild cold, but later, it gradually got worse, until her whole body became swollen, and she couldn't eat. This went on for at least ten days before and after. A few days ago, after she couldn't get out of bed, Carter went to find Kang Wen, who refused on the grounds that the hospital couldn't work. However, Kang Wen came home the next day to see, and at that time, Carter's mother could still get out of bed and talk. As a result, Kang Wen felt that Carter was playing with him, so Kang Wen had a fight with the two mothers and daughters, and Carter's mother became even more swollen the next day, unable to get out of bed. Carter and Kang Wen continued to argue, asking him to buy medicine and go to the doctor, but Kang Wen said he had no money! Today, Ike sent a thousand yuan, and Carter heard it in his room. Carter came out of the room and asked Kang Wen for money to buy medicine for his mother's illness, but Kang Wen refused and said he wanted to pay off his gambling debt first. Carter had another argument with Kang Wen and was slapped twice by Kang Wen, but she snatched 600 yuan from Kang Wen's hand and prepared to ask Regus to help find a doctor to come back.

After listening to what Carter said, Regus was very angry! There is such an unworthy father in the world! Especially Carter took out the six hundred dollar bill that was torn and wrinkled, two of which were also torn! It shows how hard Carter worked to snatch these hundreds of dollars from her father at that time. "What an asshole! I'll go find Kang Wen immediately! There's such a scumbag father in the world who leaves his wife and children unattended!" Riggs was furious.

"Regus, I. You can't be so impulsive. What's the use of finding Kang Wen to judge? The most important thing for us now is how to take Carter's mother to see a doctor," Tom said. After Wei Youqi's reminder, Regus calmed down and said, "That's right, you're right. But where are we going to find a doctor now?" "It's difficult," ike said bluntly. "Her mother's illness cannot be cured with medicine in three to five days. She may need professional instruments and equipment, but more importantly, a professional doctor and medical system."

Ike is right. At this time, Nami's voice sounded behind several people. "Since the first day of power failure, it has been nearly 40 days of heavy rainstorm and typhoon. Have you seen the rain stop?"

People didn't know why she switched the topic and talked about it, but Tom still replied, "No, it hasn't stopped once."

"Yes, not once," Nami's voice was clear and flat, as if stating a fact.

"The rain is strange, the wind is also strange, and the power outage is even more strange. The medical system has collapsed; can you afford to save someone who doesn't know what disease they have?" Nami said rationally.

"What do you mean?" Carter opened her eyes wide as Nami finished speaking. "That's all it means; your mother's illness hasn't been cured," Nami said bluntly.

Carter's eyes turned red, and she said, "Are you trying to make me give up on her? She's not your mother; how could you say that?"

Regus quickly comforted Carter and said, "No, she didn't mean that."

Then he grabbed Nami's hand and pulled her into the room, whispering, "How could you talk to Carter like that? That's too cruel."

"I don't think your mind is very clear, just a kind reminder," Nami snorted coldly.

"Nami!" Regus suddenly felt very angry. "You can't be so cold-blooded and ruthless. It's a person, not a dispensable object! A person's life cannot be judged by the size of the cost to determine whether they can survive. If that's the case, what's the difference between a person and an object?" Regus said. "Have you never heard of a famous saying, 'A person must live with value'? The person who said this sentence already equates themselves with goods. Therefore, people have always been goods, and equal exchange is the only law," Nami replied.

"You..." Regus was so angry that he couldn't answer back.

"That... excuse me!" Suddenly, Anna extended her head in. "Uncle Regus, I don't think Nami's words are unreasonable. The current situation is so bad; it's really difficult to save someone who doesn't know what kind of illness they have."

"You're right, Anna, but we always have to give it a try," Regus insisted.

"If you find a doctor, they are willing to treat you, but the cost is high? Who will pay for this?" Anna asked.

Regus paused for a moment and said, "But... why shouldn't we try it?" Anna shrugged. Regus had nothing to say.

Regus stood in a daze for a moment. Just when Anna thought he was giving up, Regus suddenly said, "That's right, it's very difficult to save a critically ill person in this situation. But I still can't refuse to save a life. You will definitely think that I am a bad person, but I chose to do this not for the sake of receiving gratitude from others or for anyone's favour. It's just because life has to continue, and I can't face my own inaction in the future. So now I can only choose to have a clear conscience."

Regus said to Anna and Nami, turning around and walking out the door. He said to Carter outside the door, "I will try my best to help your mother find a doctor, but if the other party requests a high medical fee, I can only provide a limited amount of help, as I also have a family to support. I hope you can understand."

Then Riggs said to Ike, "Ike, you don't have to persuade me anymore. You have your choices, and you have your persistence. But I also have my choice and my persistence."

Riggs' eyes showed stubbornness in their determination, and his involuntary furrowed brow seemed to be telling of his stubborn and firm choice after his entanglement.

"Yes, everyone has their own choices and persistence. Who can influence another person's choices and persistence? Ike doesn't have this qualification either. At the beginning, Ike's premise for Regus was simply that he did not want Regus to act recklessly and risk his life because it would harm their overall interests."

"Because even his personal belongings, if used too much to help others, when his own family is in need, the other two families cannot fail to provide assistance. So it will still have an impact on the other two." Seeing that he had already thought this through, Ike completely relaxed and said, "Okay, so everyone agreed that Riggs would now take a look at her mother."

"After Regus left, Ike continued his training unaffected. Tom was a bit discouraged. Ike urged him, 'Train, don't be lazy.' Tom sat weakly on the bench and said, 'I'm a bit... how can I say it? I don't know what to say.' Tom looked up at the ceiling in a daze for a moment and muttered, 'Ike, what do you think we should do after the call? So many things have happened. Can they still live like before? "

"Do whatever you want," said Ike, who had already completed a set of exercises and was sweating profusely as he squatted for a break.

"But it's not right. I always feel like... well, I don't know how to say it," Tom's heart was full of thoughts, worries, and concerns. "But like a messy ball of yarn, unable to find a clue. I can't say for sure."

Ike started the second group of training again and said to Tom, "You just have too little experience; you get used to it by experiencing too much. "

My mother used to be even more ill before, and she gradually recovered herself. But this time..." Carter lifted the damp and moldy blanket, revealing her mother's swollen and purple limbs under the blanket. 'I don't know what to do, can she still be saved if she's like this?' Regus only felt a headache. At first glance, this disease cannot form in just a few days. It is highly likely that the combination of poor health and the power outage and rain caused various diseases to occur together."

Given the normal hospital level when there was no power outage before, treating Carter's mother in this situation is already very difficult. "Not to mention now. You need to be mentally prepared, Carter," Regus could only say.

Carter's delicate eyes showed a hint of hatred towards her father. She covered her eyes with both hands and cried bitterly, "Please help me, she is my mother, she cannot die."But Regus is also powerless. "Carter, you help her onto my back. I'll take her to the pharmacy to find someone to see what the disease is and if it can be treated," said Regus.Carter followed suit in tears.
