Chasing the Dawn

Ch.1:Peaks on the seafloor

How important is money to people living in the world?

Every time he talked about this issue, Arthur Wenlock would say it was very important.

"I can tell you that there is only one disease in the world, and that is poverty."

Arthur still remembers how he said this classic movie line at the graduation party with his high school classmates three years ago when he had just turned 18 and got the admission letter for the undergraduate, master, and doctoral program in clinical medicine at Grandville University Medical School, which is ranked in the top five in the country.

Not desolate, but high-spirited, like a winner in life who is about to dominate the world.

A stubborn disguise... and a sadness that no one knows.

Yes.

For an orphan who received the bad news of the death of his parents at the age of ten, the five million dollars of various compensations added up to Arthur Wenlock's only source of income and the only spiritual support in the next ten years of his life.

The money will be managed by a trust fund first, and after he turns 18, he can freely dispose of all the inheritance.

He has no relatives, but he still has money!

Of course, there is only money left.

"Goldie Wenlock" is the nickname given to him by his college classmates, which shows affection and ridicule.

He is generous, treats friends to all kinds of food, drinks, and entertainment, and is rich. The above are his only advantages in school.

Perhaps the college entrance examination consumed all his energy and spirit for studying in this life, and he felt that his ambition to his mother, "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!" was meaningless. After entering college, he completely lost his motivation.

He went from being a top student to a poor student. He either failed or just passed the passing line in every course. On weekdays, he played and played, day and night were reversed, clubbing and chasing girls, and spent his time in drunkenness and dreams...

After a long time, the professors threw away all their expectations for him, and many classmates took a detour when they saw him. Everyone said that people like Arthur, apart from being a disgrace to Grandville University, had no hope, and hanging out with him would only ruin them together.

Arthur did not refute anything because he knew deep down that what everyone said was right; he was just a slacker, and he planned to continue to be a slacker.

Until half a year ago.

Arthur received the second bad news in his life.

He had a brain stem tumor.

It was medulloblastoma, the most malignant type of brain stem tumor, and his condition had no chance of surgery.

Even if there was a chance of surgery, the average survival time of the patient was 0.9 years after surgery and chemotherapy, which was less than a year.

At that moment, Arthur, who had been depressed for two and a half years, seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water and completely sobered up.

Goldie Wenlock died, and Arthur Wenlock came back.

He began to cheer up and actively seek treatment. However, the brain stem is the nerve center of the human body, which has always been called a "surgical forbidden area," the kind that Ben Carson would be scared of. At that time, he ran to many cities and countries but could not find any hospital that dared to operate on him.
