"Mr. Xi Jie, I'm sorry to say your concern is justified. There is another problem in your father's abdomen that routine examinations cannot detect at present. It will only develop into a disease three months from now, when a tumor grows in his abdomen and symptoms appear. But he will still think nothing of it and hold out for a year before seeking medical attention. By then, it will be too late. Even after draining the family's savings, he will pass away two years from now."
The moment Xi Jie heard Master Xiao's words, his head buzzed, and his mind exploded!
"How could this happen? Me and my big mouth! Master Xiao, thank you. This time, no matter what, I'm dragging my dad to the hospital for an examination! But my dad is incredibly stubborn. I wonder if I can persuade him?"
"Nothing sufficient to change the future has happened yet. Since the original future hasn't changed, I cannot divine a new one. So whether you can persuade him will depend entirely on your efforts."
"All right, all right. Thank you again!"
Xi Jie put away his phone, hurriedly asked his supervisor for time off, and headed home.
He was already married, so naturally, he lived separately from his father.
When he drove to his father's home, Xi Guofeng was puzzled as to why his son had come over at this hour.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you working today?"
Xi Jie saw his elderly father lying down, cheerfully watching a variety show on television. He quickly turned it off.
"What are you doing? You skipped work just to come turn off my TV?" Xi Guofeng snapped angrily. "Turn it back on! It was getting good!"
Xi Jie stood firm. "Dad, get up. Come to the hospital with me."
