Chapter 1269 The Secret of the Lawrence Family

Ye Bufan, however, showed no surprise. He had already seen this situation with his Divine Sense, and now he just wanted to see it with his own eyes to judge the illness more accurately.

Seeing him staring at his chest without speaking, a glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.

In the past, he had seen countless doctors, but due to his status and position, no one dared to ask him to take off his shirt, making it impossible to fully see where the illness was.

However, this Young man from the East only felt his wrist and then asked him to take off his shirt to examine the injury. From this, it was clear that his Medical skill already far surpassed those previous doctors.

Coupled with his previous cure of Madeline's breast cancer, he seemed to see hope, and asked excitedly, "Dr. Ye, can my illness still be cured?"

Alice had never seen Ye Bufan look so serious before, and she also asked, "Teacher, is the situation very serious?"

She was actually very clear about the severity of the illness; she asked this just to know if her teacher could cure it if he took action.

Ye Bufan did not answer, but looked at George: "It's still hard to say for now. You answer a few questions for me first, and you must answer truthfully, otherwise it will affect my judgment of your illness."

Seeing that he didn't say it was incurable, George's hope increased by a few points.

"Dr. Ye, please ask. I will answer truthfully."

Ye Bufan asked, "When did this condition of yours start?"

"My chest began to rot when I was 18, and other complications appeared at the same time. Then it got worse day by day, and has continued until now."

"How old are you this year?"

"49 years old."

Ye Bufan asked again, "Has this condition of yours appeared in other members of your Family?"

"This…"

A hint of hesitation appeared on George's face. Clearly, this question was a bit difficult to answer.

"Mr. George, I have no intention of prying into your Family's secrets, but if you don't answer my questions, I truly cannot determine what is going on with your illness.

Of course, you can refuse. If so, I can leave now."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he stood up to leave.

"Dr. Ye, don't go."

George hurriedly called out to him. Having finally seen hope, he could not miss it no matter what.

"Dr. Ye, I can tell you, but you must keep our Family's secret."

"Don't worry, our Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes virtue first, and we have our own professional ethics. We will not disclose a patient's privacy."

George turned his head and looked at Alice beside him, "President Alice, are you willing to keep our Family's secret?"

"Uncle George, please rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret."

In fact, Alice could have chosen to leave and not get involved in this mess.

But as a top doctor, she was extremely curious about this illness and wanted to witness firsthand how Ye Bufan diagnosed and treated it, so she chose to stay.

George said no more and looked at Ye Bufan, answering, "In our Family, all male descendants experience this condition starting from the age of 18, while women do not have these symptoms. For many years, there has been no exception."

Hearing this, Alice was startled. How could such a situation exist? Could this be a Family hereditary illness?

But in the historical records of the entire World Medical Association, such a terrifying illness had never appeared.

No wonder the men of the Lawrence Family had never been involved in scandals. This physical condition was simply a Family secret that absolutely could not be seen by other women. Naturally, they would not go out carousing, much less date other women.

Otherwise, once it spread, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Family.

Ye Bufan continued to ask, "Have your ancestors always been like this? From which generation did it start?"

Since he had chosen to trust, George no longer concealed anything.

"It started with our ancestor Saint Lawrence, but he didn't contract this illness at 18, but at 35.

According to the Family's secret records, the ancestor suffered from this illness until his death at 67."

After he finished speaking, a huge wave immediately surged in Alice's heart. She opened her mouth wide in surprise. This was simply an astonishing secret, much more explosive than before.

According to historical records, Saint Lawrence unified M Country back then. After achieving success, he retired. People thought he was broad-minded and didn't care about political power, but now it seems very likely that he was suffering from this illness.

Even his later death was a mystery in history, with various speculations. Now it seems they were all wrong; what George provided was the true answer.

After the shock, another question arose. As a top doctor, she immediately thought about the nature of the illness.

If this was a Family hereditary illness, why didn't Saint Lawrence's ancestors have this illness, and why did he only start developing symptoms at 35, instead of 18 like other Family members?

If it wasn't a Family hereditary illness, why did every male member of the Lawrence Family have this illness from then on?

Ye Bufan asked again, "What was the lifespan of those who suffered from this illness before you?"

"From ancestor Saint Lawrence onwards, all our Family members have developed the illness on their 18th birthday and died on their 50th birthday, without exception.

However, to avoid causing panic and speculation from the outside world, the Family would make some modifications and concealments."

"This…"

Alice was shocked once again. Developing the illness at 18 and dying at 50, what kind of illness was this that could predict a person's lifespan so accurately? It was simply unbelievable.

Next, Ye Bufan asked several more questions, which George answered one by one. Finally, he asked, "Dr. Ye, what do you think is going on with me?"

Alice followed up, "Yes, Teacher, what exactly is this illness? This is the first time I've seen such a strange illness."

"This is not an illness, but a curse."

"What, a curse?"

Alice's mouth dropped open in surprise once again, while George and Feili appeared relatively calm, as if they had been mentally prepared for this.

Ye Bufan said, "That's right, this is a curse, and it's a very special blood curse, which is why it's so powerful, continuing for hundreds of years without being eliminated."

Generally speaking, curses cast by ordinary cultivators can only affect the caster themselves, and it's difficult for them to affect their descendants.

However, the curse suffered by the Lawrence Family was truly too special. It not only brought misfortune to their descendants but also affected them for hundreds of years.

Alice was just an ordinary doctor and knew nothing about Dao. She asked curiously, "Teacher, what is a blood curse?"

Ye Bufan said, "A blood curse is a very rare type of curse. Not many people know how to use it, and it's rarely used.

The caster must use their own life as a guide, burning all the blood in their body to cast the Dao, and precisely because of this, the power of this curse is extremely strong.

Generally speaking, unless there is deep-seated hatred, very few people would use a blood curse."

At this point, he looked at George: "If I'm not mistaken, your Family's ancestor, Saint Lawrence, must have offended an extremely powerful Dao Master when he was 35.

He ultimately suffered a blood curse at the cost of the opponent's life, which led to the current situation. I wonder if your Family has any related records?"
