Yan Luoxi felt in a daze, unable to believe her ears, let alone accept it as the truth, "If he doesn't receive treatment, how much longer can he live?"
The secretary wore a face of sorrow and after a while said, "At most a year, at least half a year."
Yan Luoxi turned away, almost choking with emotion, "How did he get such a disease?"
"He pushed himself too hard when he was young, didn't care about his body. After Madam passed away, no one at home could manage him. If the servants said a little more, the old master didn't want to hear it. When it was first discovered, he thought it was an old ailment, but checking revealed..." The secretary took a deep breath, "Neither the eldest nor second young master knows. The old master has repeatedly instructed not to tell them. Second Young Mistress, you have to keep it a secret for the old master."
