Chapter 1763 A Ray of Dawn

Elon Musk's girlfriend Grimes couldn't help sobbing when he heard the doctor's judgment.

Elon Musk frowned slightly and said, "In other words, if surgery and follow-up comprehensive treatment are performed, the survival rate will not exceed 50%?"

"It can be understood in this way." Manu said, "In fact, the survival rate indicators include five-year survival rate, ten-year survival rate, etc., but if Xiao X's disease recurs, I'm afraid..."

Manu shrugged his shoulders when he said this, and did not say any follow-up words, but everyone already understood the meaning.

Elon Musk was sullen and caught in a tangle.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Thank you, Dr. Mannu, and several experts, thank you. Regarding the treatment plan, I think I have to think about it..."

"Of course! This is very important." Manu nodded and said, "I have no intention of urging you, but I still have to remind you that you need to make a decision as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for your condition."

"I know!" Elon Musk rubbed his hair and said, "Let me stay here now! I have already arranged a room, and I need to discuss it with my girlfriend!"

"Okay!" Manu stood up and said, "Mr. Musk, please notify me as soon as you make any decision! I am always on call!"

Elon Musk nodded, and asked the butler to take a few medical experts to the guest room to rest first.

"Eron, what should we do now?" Grimes was a little confused.

Elon Musk patted Grimes on the shoulder and said, "Honey, don't worry too much. We can provide little X with the best medical conditions, and the world's best pediatric specialists and oncologists will help him Consultation, he will be fine."

Grimes choked up and said, "Dr. Mannu must have considered these factors, but his estimated survival rate is still so low, which shows that this disease is really difficult to cure..."

Why doesn't Elon Musk know this? He just wants to comfort his girlfriend, but in fact he feels that he also needs comfort very much.

Grimes asked again: "Eron, what are we going to do now? Are we going to have surgery?"

In terms of surgery, if it fails, needless to say, you won’t even be able to get off the operating table; even if it succeeds, there will be many follow-up problems, and any of them may kill the child; even if those difficulties are overcome, there will be a recurrence later The probability is also very high.

In other words, it is very likely that a lot of adults have suffered unbearably,

In the end, it was still difficult to save a life.

If there is no surgery and only conservative treatment, it may not be so painful, but it is clear that life has entered the countdown.

The so-called conservative treatment is actually just hospice care in many cases, and has no real therapeutic effect.

Elon Musk sighed and said: "I am really entangled, Xiao X is so young, he shouldn't have to bear all this suffering..."

In fact, the moment Elon Musk heard that his child had a malignant tumor, he subconsciously thought of his first child.

The baby was 10 weeks old at the time, and like all dads, he wanted the baby to take a nap and then put the baby on his shoulders.

However, when he went to see the child again, he found that the child was not breathing.

Of course, the final doctor's conclusion was that the child died of sudden infant death syndrome, not because he held the child in the wrong position and caused the child to suffocate.

However, Elon Musk still felt great pain. He stayed in the hospital for three days and then never talked about the death of his child.

In fact, the child's sudden death hit him very hard.

So much so that his five children were all conceived through IVF technology. Deep down in his heart, he believes that science can ensure the absolute health of children.

Only this time, the girlfriend's pregnancy was an accident, but since she already had a child, it must be born.

When the child was born, Elon Musk was a little apprehensive. Fortunately, the inspection at the time showed that the child was very healthy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the good times didn't last long, and the nightmare still came.

The child he named "Little X" failed to escape the bad luck in the end. He actually got such a serious disease, and his life was in danger, as if he was cursed.

Elon Musk's psychological shadow hidden deep in his heart suddenly enveloped him again.

"Elon! Elon!" The voice of his girlfriend Grimes woke him up from the painful memory.

"Ah?" Elon Musk was a little dazed, "I'm sorry, honey, I'm a little distracted... what did you say?"

"Eron, your phone is ringing..." Grimes said.

Only then did Elon Musk realize that the mobile phone in his pocket was not only ringing, but also vibrating, but he really didn't realize it just now.

"Oh, thanks!"

Elon Musk took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

It was Li Yifu who made the call.

According to the normal procedure, if Li Yifu wants to contact Elon Musk, he must ask his assistant or secretary to make an appointment with Elon Musk's secretary.

However, the net worth of the two is about the same, and they are both heavyweights. When they met last time, they exchanged business cards out of courtesy, so Li Yifu called directly through Elon Musk's private phone number.

Elon Musk hangs up the phone on purpose and refuses to answer. After all, he is really not in the mood to discuss business with Li Yifu now, not to mention that Li Yifu's business is too risky, and he is not interested, but it is obviously very rude to refuse, especially The other party is still a rich man like Li Yifu, if he hangs up roughly, he may really offend him completely.

So, despite his reluctance, Elon Musk still answered the phone, but his tone was a little cold: "Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Musk, I hope to see you again." Li Yifu said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have already left Silicon Valley." Elon Musk said, "I have something at home these two days, so I am temporarily out of work. In addition, I think my attitude towards the things Mr. Li wants to discuss It's very clear, it's really because of risk control considerations, we can't cooperate on that project, I'm really sorry..."

"Is Mr. Musk in Los Angeles?" Li Yifu asked with a smile, "I happen to be in Los Angeles too!"

Elon Musk's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Mr. Li, what does this mean? Are you following me?"

In fact, Elon Musk has a lot of thoughts at this moment.

Because Li Yifu's proposal to purchase spacesuits and aerospace equipment is too sensitive in itself, and Li Yifu's Chinese identity, it is difficult to prevent Elon Musk from thinking that there is a shadow of the Chinese government behind this matter.

And he had just left Silicon Valley, and while his whereabouts were kept secret, the other party had already arrived in Los Angeles.

This cannot but make Elon Musk vigilant.

"Mr. Musk, don't get me wrong!" Li Yifu said with a smile, "I am not looking for you this time to discuss business. I heard that your child has some health problems, which is really unfortunate. I am willing to provide you Some medical help."

A trace of displeasure appeared in Elon Musk's heart.

Obviously, Li Yifu spent a lot of effort to investigate him, otherwise how could he have chased him to Los Angeles so quickly, and he also knew about Xiao X's situation.

Although Elon Musk did not deliberately keep it secret, it does not mean that he can accept his privacy being snooped on.

Therefore, Elon Musk's tone has become less polite.

He snorted softly and said, "Mr. Li, I don't know what you mean by medical help? Could it be that Mr. Li thinks that I can't hire the best doctor or the best hospital to treat Xiao X?" Treatment?"

Li Yifu said lightly: "Of course I don't think so. But... as far as I know, rhabdomyosarcoma has a high degree of malignancy, especially your child's condition seems to be more serious, even under the best conditions available. I don't think the survival rate seems to be more than 40%, right?"

"So what?" Elon Musk felt that his patience was about to be exhausted, and his tone became more and more rigid.

"Such a survival rate is simply a gamble!" Li Yifu said exaggeratedly, "Mr. Musk, do you think that if the condition I can provide is only a 40% survival rate, or just a little improvement, Will I still call you this time?"

Elon Musk's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "Then what Mr. Li means... With the medical help you provide, what is the probability of Little X's survival?"

Li Yifu said indifferently: "More than 90%, if you don't consider some force majeure unexpected factors, it is 100%!"

Li Yifu is full of confidence in Xia Ruofei's medical skills.

In fact, he is full of confidence in Xia Ruofei's ability in any field.

To put it bluntly, it is blind worship.

After Elon Musk heard this, he couldn't help taking a breath, and then he came back to his senses. He felt that this was impossible, especially in the eyes of him, a person who believes in science, everything must conform to The laws of science, including his son's illness. Obviously, from a scientific point of view, the treatment plan proposed by Dr. Manu's team has reached the world's top level, and the patient's survival rate has also been raised to the limit. Li Yifu said ninety percent, one hundred percent as soon as he came up, which sounded like a magic stick.

Elon Musk couldn't help feeling a little displeasure in his heart. He felt that Li Yifu was entertaining himself.

He said coldly: "Mr. Li, your joke is not funny!"

"It seems that Mr. Musk doesn't believe what I said." Li Yifu said calmly.

"Hmm!" Elon Musk said indifferently, "Does Mr. Li feel that his words have such a trace of credibility?"

Li Yifu laughed, and said, "Whether it is credible or not, don't you know if you try it? You don't even have the courage to try it, so you are so eager to draw conclusions?"

"What Mr. Li said is not in line with scientific laws at all, so there is no need to try it!" Elon Musk was unmoved.

"Scientific law? Science stipulates that your son must undergo surgery?" Li Yifu sneered, "Does science stipulate that he will face terrible chemotherapy at such a young age? Science also stipulates that he has five or six percent With a probability of ten, you won’t live past the age of five?”

"Mr. Li, please pay attention to your words." Elon Musk's face sank, "Little X is unfortunately suffering from this disease, which is something that everyone does not want to see."

Li Yifu's tone was a little more soothing, and he said: "Mr. Musk, I didn't mean to provoke you on purpose. I just want to tell you that there is nothing to lose by giving yourself one more chance to try. On the contrary, it is very likely It will usher in a miraculous turning point!"

Then, Li Yifu said: "I brought a Chinese medical expert here this time. He will treat Xiao X comprehensively from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Our expert has already understood Xiao X's condition, and he is very helpful in curing this kind of disease. Still very confident."

Before Elon Musk could speak, Li Yifu hit the iron while the iron was hot and said: "Mr. Musk, using traditional Chinese medicine treatment does not require surgery, nor does it require chemotherapy that kills one thousand enemies and self-damages eight hundred. The damage to the body is almost the same. Zero. Even if it is unsuccessful, you might as well give it a try, can the situation get worse?"

Li Yifu's last words finally moved Elon Musk.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, I don't know much about Chinese medicine. The expert you brought can really treat rhabdomyosarcoma?"

Li Yifu said: "I know this may be unbelievable, but it is the truth. In fact, the expert I brought has successfully cured a serious malignant brain tumor. Please note that it is a cure!"

Elon Musk took a deep breath and said: "OK, I am willing to try new treatments, provided that there is no harm to the body."

"Of course, I can guarantee this." Li Yifu said.

Elon Musk hesitated again, and asked: "Mr. Li, this treatment...is it the business you talked about the day before yesterday..."

Li Yifu interrupted Elon Musk with a smile, and said: "Let's not talk about this, let's see the treatment effect, how about it?"

Elon Musk knows that even if the two parties do not sign any agreement, Li Yifu is not a role to be manipulated by others. If the treatment is really effective, he will probably take the risk to complete this super large order, otherwise If Li Yifu's influence in the United States launched a crazy revenge, he would not be able to bear it.

"Okay!" Elon Musk said decisively after a short hesitation, "Mr. Li, please bring medical experts to my manor! By the way, where are you now? I will send a car to pick you up .”

"Beverly Hills Hotel." Li Yifu said.

"OK!" Elon Musk said, "Please wait at the hotel for half an hour!"

"No problem!" Li Yifu said with a smile, "Mr. Musk, you will know in the future, this is a very wise decision, this decision will bring your child a healthy physical state!"
