Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Quick, get him to the emergency room！

“How about this cake? There’s also a coupon we can use,” said the young nurse, scrolling through her phone and turning to the head nurse, “It’ll say ‘Wishing Ethan good health.’ What do you think?”

The head nurse shook her head, “He only has a few months left, it’s not appropriate to wish him good health. Just write ‘Happy Birthday’ instead.”

As they spoke, a tall figure walked past them.

The young nurse quickly looked up, watching the tall figure enter the ward.

“Stop staring,” the head nurse said teasingly, “She’s just good-looking, but remember, she’s a woman.”

“Oh, don’t tease me like that!” the young nurse blushed, “I’m straight, it’s just that she really is very striking.”

Inside the ward.

Ethan was asleep, breathing steadily, dreaming of his petite and clingy little sister, calling him “Babe.”

“Honey~ get up or you’ll be late~”

His petite sister was playfully cooing at him.

“Ah~ you don’t have to do that, I’m not into sisters!” Ethan suddenly opened his eyes. The room was dimly lit, and the tall figure stood by his bed, blocking his view.

Over 5.9 feet tall, with a striking face, short hair up to her ears, and a punk-style cross earring dangling from her right ear.

She wore a leather jacket on top, jeans below, and black riding boots.

Hands in her pockets, an unlit cigarette hanging from her lips, effortlessly cool and rugged like a male model from a fashion magazine.

“Blair, you’re here,” Ethan said, his expression complex as he called out the name of the handsome woman before him, his sister Blair, Aunt Scarlett’s daughter.

Her androgynous beauty always set her apart.

She was also the memory of the girl who used to hide behind him, calling him “Babe” and dreaming of marrying him when she grew up.

She had grown quite a bit over the years.

“Hmm.” Blair opened her shoulder bag, took out a notebook, and placed it beside the bed. It was a school notebook, its pages flipping to reveal neat handwriting.

After dropping the notebook, she didn’t pay any more attention to Ethan, turning instead to open the window, leaning against the curtain, lighting the cigarette in her mouth, and taking a drag with both hands holding the cigarette out the window.

Ethan watched her, not speaking.

He wasn’t sure about their relationship,she used to be clingy when she was younger.

When they met again after she had grown up, she was in her rebellious phase.

Aunt’s words went in one ear and out the other.

Ethan and she attended the same school, but they never went to and from school together, and they barely talked.

Later, he was admitted to the hospital.

Blair did come to visit daily, bringing her class notes.

Ethan remembered her grades weren’t very good, but the notes she brought were surprisingly neat.

Blair would occasionally talk to him about school, but her tone was indifferent, as if she was just fulfilling a task.

Ethan suspected Aunt had asked her to come and chat with him.

Besides that, they hardly communicated.

Blair stood by the window, smoking one cigarette after another, exuding a melancholic and decadent air.

Ethan couldn’t help but notice,Blair had inherited their aunt’s good looks and had a charm that set her apart from other women with her androgynous style.

Since she had arrived, there were noticeably more young nurses passing by the ward than usual.

Clearly, her appearance was the type that many women found attractive.

There was a long silence between them.

Blair finished her cigarette, her gaze returning from the window, suddenly asking, “Do you have any wishes?”

“Huh?” Ethan was startled, Aunt had asked him the same question earlier.

He looked at the striking Blair, and if he really had a wish, he’d like to see her in a dress, calling him “Babe.”

“Wishes,” Blair turned back, “are things you want to happen.”

“Hmm, I’ll have to think about that,” Ethan knew, of course, that he might not live much longer. He didn’t need a doctor to tell him,he felt weaker every day.

But he wasn’t panicking,with a system hack, what could possibly go wrong?

“Hmm.” Blair nodded, picked up her shoulder bag, and walked out of the ward without looking back, “Let me know when you’ve decided.”

Ethan watched her tall figure leave, a smile playing on his lips. His sister might have a tomboyish rugged charm, but she was pretty decent.

He lay back down and whispered, “System.”

The screen appeared before him again.

“Terminal Wish System, at your service.”

“Ultimate Health Gift Pack (Epic). Item description: Randomly completely cure one existing physical ailment or enhance a severely damaged organ to peak human condition. Countdown to activation: 5 hours, 52 minutes, 23 seconds.”

“Terminal Wish Generation Countdown: 5 hours, 52 minutes, 23 seconds.”

“Alright, less than six hours to go,” Ethan exhaled deeply, his mind racing with thoughts on how to conceal his cured condition after using the system.

He had pondered this problem countless times.

Time ticked by.

The sun gradually set in the west, draping the sky in red.

At seven o’clock in the evening.

The sound of high heels clicking approached.

Scarlett walked in carrying two lunch boxes, her eyes tired but smiling, “Happy Birthday, Ethan.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Thank you, Aunt,” Ethan looked up, smiling back at her, eyeing the lunch boxes, “Looks like a feast today.”

“There’s a surprise coming up~” Scarlett expertly adjusted his bed to sit him up.

Ethan saw the tiredness in her smile,Scarlett had to work and take care of two kids, she was giving too much: “Aunt, I actually have a secret to tell you.”

“Oh? What is it?” Scarlett looked intrigued.

Ethan’s eyes were serious: “Actually, I’m not ordinary. The injury I’ve suffered will be healed tonight. I know you won’t believe me now, but don’t be surprised later tonight.”

The fact that his body was healed couldn’t be hidden from everyone,Aunt had to know to coordinate with him.

“Hmm, okay.” Scarlett smiled and nodded, turning her head as tears welled up, then turned back:

“Let’s eat, it’s all your favorites.”

“Thank you.” Ethan picked up a fork, his fingers weak. He knew Aunt wouldn’t believe him, but he had to warn her in advance to avoid any sudden incidents.

Scarlett noticed his struggle to hold the fork, her eyes reddening as she smiled and fed him.

Her subtle fragrance wafted into Ethan’s nostrils as he looked down at her long, slender legs in black stockings beneath her form-fitting skirt.

In this pleasant atmosphere, time passed second by second.

“System.” Ethan lay in bed, Aunt cleaning up the dishes beside him, the system panel in front of him finally ticking down to zero.

“Would you like to open the Ultimate Health Gift Pack (Epic)? Item description: Randomly completely cure one existing physical ailment or enhance a severely damaged organ to peak human condition.”

“Yes!” Ethan clenched his fist, almost shouting.

His eyes widened in prayer, hoping it would cure his “progressive muscular atrophy.” Congenital heart disease could wait.

The package opening animation.

“Ding, congratulations, severely damaged organ, a small part of the muscle has been repaired and enhanced to peak human condition, maintaining a Hard as a rock effect at all times.”

“???” Ethan’s expression froze, time seemed to stop: “FUCK!”

The next second, everything went dark before his eyes.

A sharp pain emanated from his heart.

“FUCK!” Ethan tried to speak, but only a silent moan came from his throat.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he had a heart attack.

Scarlett, having finished cleaning up, looked up to see him like this, her face turning pale with fright: “Doctor…”

Ethan couldn’t hear the rest, only the sound of chaotic footsteps and distant shouts: “Quick, get him to the emergency room.”
