Chapter 1269: The Secret of the Lawrence Family

e deeper, it would be fine.So she continued her cultivation until her cultivation level broke through the Xuan-rank bottleneck, but her voice not only didn't improve; the hair on her body became incre...Ye Bufan showed no surprise whatsoever. He had already sensed this situation with his divine consciousness. He wanted to see it with his own eyes now, simply to make a more accurate judgment of the condition.

Seeing him staring intently at his own chest, silent with a flicker of light in his eyes, as if a spark of hope had ignited.

He had seen countless doctors before, but because of his status and position, no one dared to let him take off his shirt, not even to see where the ailment was.

And this young man from the East merely touched his wrist, then took off his shirt to examine his injuries. From this point of view, his medical skills had already surpassed those of previous doctors.

Plus the previous cure of Madeleine's breast cancer, this seemed to give him hope, and he excitedly asked, "Doctor Ye, can this disease be cured"

Alice had never seen Ye Bufan looking so serious before, and she followed up with a worried question: "Teacher, is the situation really bad"

She was very clear about the severity of her condition. The reason she asked that way was to find out if the teacher could cure it.

Ye Bufan didn't answer, instead he looked at George: "It's still too early to say. First, answer me a few questions, you must answer truthfully, or it will affect my judgment of your condition."

Since he didn't say it couldn't be cured, George felt a little more hopeful.

"Doctor Ye, you can ask me anything, and I will answer truthfully."

Ye Bufan asked, "When did this condition start"

Since I was 18, a rotting sensation has developed in my chest, accompanied by other complications that have been worsening day by day and continue to this day.

"How old are you this year"

"49 years old."

"Have others in your family ever experienced this condition"

"That..."

George hesitated, clearly unsure how to answer the question.

"Mr. George, I have no intention of prying into your family's privacy, but if you don't answer my questions, I truly won't be able to figure out what's wrong with you"

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

Ye Bufan finished speaking and stood up to leave.

"Doctor Ye, please don't leave."

George hurriedly called him back. Having finally seen hope, he couldn't possibly let it slip away.

"Doctor Ye, I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret for our family."

"Rest assured, we Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize ethics first and foremost. We have our own professional code of conduct and will not disclose patient privacy."

George turned his head and looked at Alice beside him, "Alice Elder, are you willing to keep secrets for our family"

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

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

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

George didn't say any more, and looked at Ye Bufan, replying: "In our family, all male offspring will experience this from the age of 18, while women do not have this symptom. This has been the case for countless years, without exception."

Upon hearing this, Alice was startled. Could there be such a case Was it a genetic disease passed down through the family

But throughout the entire history of the World Medical Association, there has never been a record of such a terrifying disease.

It's no wonder that the Lawrence family men have never been involved in any scandals. Their physical condition is practically a family secret, something absolutely not to be shown to other women. Naturally, they wouldn't go out carousing or date other women.

Otherwise, once it gets out, it will be a devastating blow to the entire family.

Ye Bufan continued to ask, "Have all generations of your family been like this From which generation did it begin"

Once George chose to believe, he stopped hiding it.

"Starting with my ancestor Saint Laurence, though he wasn't infected at 18 but at 35."

According to family lore, our ancestors were tormented by this ailment until their death at the age of 67.

His words struck Alice like a thunderbolt, her jaw dropping in astonishment. This was a revelation of staggering proportions, even more explosive than anything she had heard before.

According to historical records, Saint Lawrence unified the country of M once. After achieving fame and fortune, he retired from public life. People thought he was magnanimous and didn't care about power. Now it seems more likely that he was suffering from this illness.

Even his death later on was a mystery in history, with many speculations made, all of which seem to be wrong now. George provided the true answer.

After the shock, another question came to mind. As a top doctor, she immediately thought of the medical issue.

If this is a hereditary disease within the family, why didn't Saint Lawrence's ancestors have this condition before him, and why did he only start showing symptoms at 35 years old instead of the typical age of 18 for other family members

If it's not a hereditary disease, why does every male member of the Lawrence family have this illness after that point

Ye Bufan asked again, "How old did those people who were sick in front of you die"

From Saint Lawrence, our ancestor, down through the generations of our family, every person has become ill on their 18th birthday and died on their 50th birthday, without exception.

"However, to avoid panic and speculation from the outside world, the family will make some modifications and concealments."

"This..."

Alice was shocked again. She contracted the disease at age 18 and died at 50. What kind of disease could accurately estimate a person's lifespan to such a degree It was simply unbelievable.

Next, Ye Bufan asked George several more questions, and George answered each one in turn. Finally, he asked: "Doctor Ye, what do you think is going on with me"

Alice followed up, "Yes teacher, what exactly is this illness I've never seen such a strange symptom before."

"This is not a disease, but a curse."

"What, a curse"

Alice was once again surprised, her mouth agape. George and Philip, on the other hand, looked composed, as if they had been expecting this all along.

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

Generally speaking, curses cast by ordinary spellcasters can only affect the recipient themselves and it is difficult to influence their descendants.

But the curse that befell the Laurence family was truly unique, affecting not only their descendants but also spanning centuries.

Alice was just an ordinary doctor, knowing nothing about magic. She asked curiously, "Teacher, what is a blood curse"

Ye Bufan said: "Blood curses are a very rare type of magic, and there aren't many people who know how to use them, and even fewer who actually do."

The caster must use their own life as a conduit, burning all the blood in their body to cast the spell. This is why this incantation holds immense power.

Generally speaking, unless one harbors a deep and bitter hatred, few would resort to blood curses.

"Speaking of which, he looked at George: “If I'm not mistaken, your ancestor, Saint Lawrence, when he was 35 years old, should have offended a very powerful mage.”

Only by suffering the curse of death inflicted by the other party could one end up in such a state. I wonder if your family has any records related to thise to me in public.Since we're all classmates and colleagues, it would be awkward to refuse him directly. I'll just bring you as my boyfriend that day. He'll realize his feelings aren't reciprocated th...
