Four years later, in a private medicine clinic in Leucrest Town.
"I've made an appointment for more than ten days. Why isn't it in my order yet?"
A woman in her fifties was troubled by illness for many years, and she traveled thousands of miles to visit this medicine clinic in Leucrest Town after someone introduced her.
But after registering, she had been waiting in line.
Then, she had already been in Leucrest Town for half a month, and it was still not her turn yet.
She couldn't sit still anymore and went to the clinic early in the morning, planning to complain to the medical staff there.
As a result, the medical staff were too busy to take care of her. A man in his early seventies next to her spoke up.
"You can't sit still after waiting for just ten days? I've been waiting for nearly half a year, and I haven't had my turn yet."
After listening to this, she immediately felt a lot more balanced, but she couldn't help asking the man quietly.
"You have waited for a long time in this small clinic. Why are you here?"
"Terminal cancer."
"My God." The woman was surprised and asked again, "Then why are you still waiting here? You may not be cured here, and it is better to go to a big hospital for chemotherapy. I heard that there is a targeted drug now, which can coexist..."
But the man interrupted her.
"Chemotherapy in a big hospital can only bring suffering, and I may not be able to survive. I'd rather stay here and wait in line. At least the treatment process is not painful, and there is a high probability of survival."
"They can do that here?"
"Yes. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people waiting here every day? And several of my friends who had cancer were cured here. They are enjoying lives now."
It was precisely because of the strong recommendation of those friends that the old man had confidence in this small clinic.
But when the two talked to this point, a woman in a light blue knitted dress and white high-heels walked into the clinic.
