Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Yuan Ni

He listened intently to the meows, understanding immediately what she was asking.

“You want me to heal Yuan Xin’s father,” Jake said, his voice now calmer, though there was a hint of exasperation.

Yuan Xin, however, was baffled. He had no idea why the conversation had suddenly turned to meow, and the sight of Jake, previously indifferent, now nodding in understanding, left him confused.

“What—what just happened? Huh? Is this that cat’s voice? Why is it with Boss Su?” Yuan Xin stammered, looking around, trying to make sense of the situation.

He had already taken care of a blue cat who had come to visit Lin Hao. Was this cat that cat, the same?

Jake, without explaining the bizarre exchange, turned to Yuan Xin with a more serious expression.

“I’ll do it. I’ll try my best.”

Yuan Xin’s heart swelled with hope, and he immediately straightened up.

“Really? You’ll help my father? Thank you, thank you so much!”

“Lead the way,” Jake said mildly, getting up from the chair.

He avoided making grand promises, a hint of a complicated emotion flickering in his eyes.

Yuan Xin filled with gratitude, nodded and led Jake through the base to a luxurious room, a spacious area that had been given to his father, Yuan Ni, a man once powerful but now bound to a chair due to his illness.

As they entered, Yuan Ni was sitting by the window, staring out at the bustling road.

His face was still rosy, but his eyes had a distant, lifeless look, as though he had long since given up hope.

“Father!” Yuan Xin called gently, walking over to him. “I’ve found a healer—someone who can help you heal your legs.”

Yuan Ni turned to his son with a weak smile, the corners of his lips barely lifting.

“Yuan Xin, my son… how many times do I have to tell you? Don’t give me false hope. It’s alright… I’ve come to terms with it.”

“No, Father, this time it’s real. This healer—he’s different. I promise you, this time it’ll work,” Yuan Xin insisted, his eyes brimming with determination.

Yuan Ni chuckled softly, a sad sound that came from deep within. He patted Yuan Xin’s hand gently.

“You’re a good son, always trying to soothe me… but some things can’t be healed. I appreciate your efforts, but I don’t want you to get your hopes up.”

Yuan Xin, desperate to prove that this time was different, turned to Jake. “Tell him. Tell him you can heal him.”

Jake, however, didn’t meet Yuan Ni’s eyes. Instead, he spoke quietly but firmly,

“I’ll try my best. But the rest is up to fate.”

Yuan Xin’s heart sank slightly at the noncommittal response, but he quickly shook off the disappointment.

This was still their best chance.

Even if there was only a slim hope, it was worth it. He took a deep breath and turned back to his father.

“Father, please… let him try.”

Yuan Ni hesitated, his fingers brushing over the cloth covering his legs.

For a moment, he remained still, but seeing the pleading look in his son’s eyes, he relented.

“Very well, if it will ease your heart, I’ll allow it.”

With a slow, deliberate movement, Yuan Ni pulled the cloth away from his legs, revealing the shriveled, atrophied limbs.

They were a stark contrast to the rest of his still-healthy upper body, and Yuan Xin’s heart clenched painfully at the sight.

Jake’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the sight. His fingers twitched, but he kept his expression calm.

“Bring me a chair,” he said quietly.

Yuan Xin, though anxious, quickly fetched another chair and placed it in front of his father.

Jake sat down in front of Yuan Ni, his face serious, and placed his hands gently on Yuan Ni’s legs.

The room was silent except for the faint hum of the air outside, tension thick in the air.

At first, nothing seemed to happen. Yuan Ni felt no change, and Yuan Xin began to shift uncomfortably, his hope wavering.

Was this really going to work?

But then, Yuan Ni’s eyes suddenly widened.

A sharp pain shot through his legs, a feeling so foreign and unexpected that it nearly knocked the breath out of him.

He gasped, his hands gripping the arms of his chair tightly.

“Father! What is it?” Yuan Xin asked, panic creeping into his voice.

Yuan Ni’s hands trembled, but there was an undeniable excitement in his eyes.

“I—I can feel something… I can feel my legs! For the first time in years… I can feel them!”

Yuan Xin’s heart leaped in his chest. He grabbed his father’s hand, tears brimming in his eyes.

“It’s working! It’s really working! Thank you, Jake, thank you so much!”

Jake nodded slightly, still focused on transferring his healing energy into Yuan Ni’s legs.

He didn’t respond to Yuan Xin’s gratitude, his face set in concentration.

The glow around his hands intensified, and Yuan Ni winced as more sensation returned to his legs.

This time, it wasn’t just pain—it was the feeling of life returning to his muscles, his blood circulating again.

Yuan Ni’s eyes filled with tears as he looked at his son.

“Yuan Xin… I can feel it again. I never thought… I never imagined…”

Yuan Xin couldn’t hold back his tears any longer. He clutched his father’s hand tightly, overwhelmed with relief.

“I promised you, Father. I promised I would find a way. I will never forget this, Jake. I owe you and Boss Su my life.”

Jake, finally lifting his hands away, stood up and turned to Yuan Xin, a faint but complicated expression crossing his face.

“Don’t thank me yet. The recovery will take time, and there’s no guarantee he’ll be fully healed. But this is a start.”

Yuan Ni’s voice broke through the emotional atmosphere, shaky but filled with hope.

“Even if I’m never fully healed, to feel something again… it’s more than I ever expected. Thank you.”

Yuan Xin, still holding his father’s hand, nodded fervently. “This is only the beginning. I’ll make sure you recover completely. I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Jake gave a final nod and turned to leave, his footsteps quiet as he exited the room.
