My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1126 - 1127: I’m Only 70% Confident

Chu Xi was very unhappy when she heard Susan’s seemingly perfunctory words. She leaned forward on the desk, putting emphasis on her words, "Susan, I’m coming to you because I want you to help me cure him. I hope you can do your best for me."

Susan saw that she was getting angry and sighed helplessly, sitting straight up in her chair, speaking again with a serious tone, "It’s not that I’m not trying my best, it’s that my abilities only go so far. There are at least tens of thousands of genetic diseases worldwide, and aside from the few dozen common ones, many are unheard of by the average person. I’m just a doctor engaged in this field of research, not a god. I can only try to treat him with the methods I know. If you think this attempt is pointless, you’re free to take him away, I won’t insist."

"His condition does have slight differences compared to those I’ve seen before, and for this, I’m also at a loss."

Chu Xi did not want to hear her say she was at a loss.

After all, she had previously extolled Susan’s abilities in front of Li Shengxiao, claiming that she definitely had a way. Now Susan’s words felt like a slap in her own face.

Besides, if she said that, what if the man refused to stay for treatment?

She had even been planning a celebration for after his recovery.

"Susan!" Chu Xi raised her voice, putting pressure on the seated person, and looked her in the eye, "Can’t you think of any other way to help me?"

Susan hated trouble more than anything; she should be in a research institute in Mema right now, not cooped up here, if not for the desire to avoid disturbances and live a quiet life.

She knew she owed Chu Xi a favor.

But if Chu Xi was making an unreasonable demand, all she could do was to apologize, "I’m out of options."

Chu Xi was just about to press her further with the obligation Susan owed her.

However, the man beside her suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "What are the chances for my disease?"

Surprised, Susan glanced at him and spoke frankly, "Seventy percent."

"Although your condition is slightly different from those I have seen before, they are roughly the same. By logic, the difference in treatment effectiveness should not be big. However, I’m cautious about facing the unpredictable, so I say seventy percent at most and no more. Any more than that would be lying to you."

So direct.

Li Shengxiao’s eyes flickered, and his elegant wristwatch caught the light, "How do you plan to treat it, with medication?"

"For this kind of neurological issue, medication has some effect but it’s not particularly prominent. What I use is desensitization therapy. The specifics are complicated, let me give you an analogy. People can have allergies, and when they do, they show certain symptoms, you know that, right?"

Li Shengxiao gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

She continued with animated gestures, "Similarly, our nerves can have allergies, and they react when stimulated, just like how one might feel nauseous or swell up when they have an allergic reaction. Our nerves produce similar responses when stimulated, like you might get headaches, fevers, or feel hot – these are all reactions your brain commands. My treatment aims to stimulate your nerves’ tolerance. If their tolerance increases, they won’t have allergic reactions so easily in the future."

Before this, she’d need to thoroughly test to see what exactly triggers his symptoms.

"This can’t be said to completely cure your issue, but by enhancing resistance, at least you’ll experience headaches far less often."

Rare events might as well be non-events.

After all, no one in medical science can claim to completely eradicate genetic diseases – these are issues within the genetic code, and human medicine isn’t yet advanced enough to edit these genetic sequences.
