Bai Ye and Su Man stayed in Rome with others for a week. Kaka's condition stabilized, but there was one instance of rejection, which didn't require medication to control. He lived normally like an ordinary person, breathing calmly. His composure was always good; he could remain calm and composed under any high-pressure situation, rarely losing control—except when it came to Wushuang.

No one mentioned separating them.

Bai Ye and Su Man didn't say anything about this either. Since they hadn't been told otherwise, it was clear that Kaka and Wushuang could be together.

There was no need for special consideration; after all, had Kaka and Wushuang not been together over the years Although there were no declarations of love, with only Wushuang pursuing, their interactions indeed resembled those of lovers. While Wushuang did cause a rapid deterioration in Kaka's heart condition, leaving him without her would be even more devastating. Likely, his condition would worsen severely if they separated. Knowing his heart issues and fearing he wouldn't live long, Kaka hadn’t given any promises to Wushuang for all these years out of fear of leaving her alone. Even so, their relationship had continued as though they were lovers. Though Kaka knew this was wrong, he'd persisted for ten years, and continuing on wasn’t an issue.

The elders didn't want them separated either; everyone could see how hard these two had worked over the past decade. After finally being able to be together, who would suggest breaking up Moreover, if Kaka wanted a separation, it would've happened long ago; there wouldn't have been this constant on-again-off-again relationship that gave Wushuang hope only to dash it again and again, tormenting her as well as himself. Given Wushuang's strong personality, she certainly didn’t want the breakup.

It was precisely because of Wushuang’s tenacity and bravery in love that they reached this point. If someone else had been in Wushuang’s position for over a decade, their relationship would've long since run out; they wouldn't have ended up as ordinary friends or harbored lifelong resentment toward each other.

Wushuang thought about separating from Kaka but it was merely a fleeting thought. Upon seeing him, she couldn’t bear the idea of breaking up. If he didn't love her, that would be one thing; if he did love her, there was no way in hell she’d let go.

Chu Li and Rong Yan are worried, as Kaka's artificial heart is a source of pain for them. After all, it’s artificial, and its functions aren’t perfect; they really fear that one day Kaka will suddenly leave them.

Bai Ye has also mentioned the possibility of such an occurrence.

Perhaps one morning upon waking up, they’ll find Kaka's body cold because the changes in his condition are unpredictable, and they can’t track it at all times. Sometimes, by the time they seek help from Bai Ye after a problem arises, it might be too late.

In comparison to Chu Li and Rong Yan’s worries, Kaka appears much more optimistic.

This time, he was fortunate enough not to need surgery; he had thought that he would have to undergo surgery to replace his heart. However, who knew that Bai Ye's new medicine could control the condition, allowing him to recover his health He is very grateful for this artificial heart inside him.

Thanks to this heart, he can spend another day with Wu Shuang.

Bai Ye said that if they use the new drug once a month, the heart could have up to twenty years of life. At the very least, it would have ten years of life; during these extra years, Bai Ye and Su Man will also be given time to come up with ways to help Kaka return to normal.

Chu Li privately asked Bai Ye about the original issue with Kaka’s heart. After decades as brothers, they understand each other's nature well. Since Bai Ye kept Kaka’s original heart, it wouldn't be without purpose.

White Night sighed and said, "Chu Li, I didn't want to hide this from you. Indeed, I wanted to replace his original heart, but as you know, it's not easy. Su Man only has a 10% chance of success; she won't operate unless there’s at least a 70% chance of success. Five years ago, Su Man said the chances were only 10%, and five years later, they're still only 10%. We've hit a bottleneck and it's hard to break through. If we can overcome this, then there might be hope for replacing Kaka’s heart. But that chance is slim, so I didn't want to give you false hope."

Chu Li did have some hope despite White Night's serious tone; after all, there was still a possibility of getting Kaka’s original heart back since he hated the artificial one in his body.

The artificial heart seemed like a time bomb to him.

White Night said, "Don't worry too much. He has been carrying this heart for twelve years and is still fine as long as he takes care of himself properly. But I suggest Kaka retire early and stop working with the First Terror Organization. Besides Wu Shuang, the high-pressure environment at the First Terror Organization also contributed to his rapid heart deterioration. We don't lack money; it doesn’t matter if he spends the rest of his life comfortably with Wu Shuang. There's no need for him to work hard for the First Terror Organization—let’s leave that to Tian Yu."

Chu Li nodded in agreement. He had already thought about this issue after learning Kaka's condition and was planning to persuade him to retire early. It wasn't a difficult task, so it would be better if he retired sooner rather than later. The leader of the First Terror Organization is not an easy position; it’s truly a high-pressure job. Even though Kaka might be calm on the surface, there were times when he couldn’t handle the pressure.

"I will talk to him about this. If I had known how bad his condition was from the start, I wouldn't have trained him for work in the First Terror Organization," Chu Li said calmly. "Mu Han and Bruno are both capable; Tian Yu is also old enough now. It's not unreasonable for Kaka to retire early. You should’ve told me about this earlier."

"I'm sorry!" White Night apologized. "I couldn't help him, but honestly, you don’t need to worry too much about him. Yesterday, he came to me as if nothing was wrong and asked how I was doing; look at your son’s composure! Even in such a state, he still wants Wu Shuang, which amused me all day."

Chu Li felt embarrassed.

So embarrassing...

Bai Ye smiled when recalling it, "Yesterday morning just after we got up and went for a walk in the garden, he came looking for us. Su Man even laughed upon hearing this; needless to say, Wu Shuang had teased him countless times before without him ever asking about it. It seems once one confesses their feelings, they can't help but ask."

Chu Li thought, This is typical schadenfreude. Look how annoying Bai Ye's smile is. However, his son really is a genius; he also has the nerve to ask. Bai Ye said, "What’s there to be surprised about Ye San was even more persistent back then, as if not doing it would mean his death."

No man can compare with Ye San in his youth.

Chu Li remained silent but asked with genuine interest,

To be honest, he’s also quite interested in this question.
