《Game of World's Heroes》Question 20 - What sadden you?

“My name is Fenbalar, Fenbalar Mooncairn, and this is my sister Venicia Mooncairn — the one with the appointment,” a boy with a white hair says politely.
Dana got stunned for a moment, try to remember about Mooncairn family. However, he doesn’t stand still for long. He immediately changes into his professional mode, “Okay then, Venicia you can come inside, you too Fenbalar if you want.”
“Very much appreciated,” he says while pushing his sister's wheelchair to the Vys’ room.
Dana is following behind him and then sit behind Vys — observing at how Vys diagnose the blind girl.
Fenbalar look surprised for a moment after looking at a doctor with same age at him, he felt skeptical, but he can’t go back after going this far — not when his sister in this state. At least he needs to see if this boy has the same skill as the rumor from medical worlds said.
Vys understand what the boy is thinking at this moment but ignore him, that is a usual attitude for people who first come here. After he sees the boy sit down saying nothing, he knows that the boy is testing him. He immediately examining the girl without asking him anything.
On all steps, Vys do it with the precise manner and stoic face, but, Dana knows this is his expression when Vys got serious — either because of anger or her sickness that difficult to treat.
“Can you flow your Qi to your artery,” he asks occasionally.
The girl nod and then try to flow her Qi to her artery, at this moment Vys activating his bloodline — changing his eyes to become type Qi detection beasts’ eye. His eyes appear glowing with reddish color from the outside but there no one question it, sometimes doctors have this type of skill to assist them in their diagnose.

After asking a series of question to the girl, he’s sighing. Her sickness is impossible to cure in the current level of technology, the blindness, and weak limb is just part of many side effects. Her life won’t last long.
“Do you want to your brother hears —,” he carefully asks the girl but got cut off.
“It’s okay doc,” she says.
He looks at the brother and sees him nod too.
He let out another sigh, “Fine then, you have two years at most to live with this situation, or exactly about 22 months — I know it’s not a long time. However, there nothing I can do with current technology that can cure your sickness, even the thing that can prolong your life right now is very hard to get.” he says while looking at her expression carefully, “I’m sorry.”
“What do you think that makes my body like this doc,” there no trace of anger or sadness in her tone as though she already knows that soon she will die.
“From my examination before, it is because of some chemical that changes some of your body function when you still a baby. For the detail, I must take a look deeper, but I think there is nothing can be done, whether you know what substance that goes inside your body or not.”
“Thank you, doctor,” her face not showing anguish, even when Vys basically says she soon will die.
Different from Venicia tranquil expression, Fenbalar expression changing rapidly in the whole process — shocked, stunned, despair, furious. Everything in his thought is easily read by other. He already visits many great doctors in all three continents with his Master to cure his sister. Many of them can guess how many years left his sister has, but that after days examining his sister and even after that many days — they still say that curing her is impossible.

His last hope is someone in this island, who known and acknowledge by those great doctors, in less than half an hour he can easily diagnosing she has two years left and even know the cause of her sickness. Even so, he still says that he can’t cure her, a person whom many doctors say as the best — can’t do anything.
How can he’s not despairing after know there is no hope for his sister, but after a moment he remembers something along the lines that Vys says.
After a moment of hesitation, he asks, “You say that there something that can prolong her life?”
“Yes, but —.”
“Please, I will do anything as long as she can prolong her life,” He’s immediately bowing after say that words.
Looking at the scene, Vys let out a sigh, “I’m sorry. If I can, I would. However, the ingredients are spread around the world, while some of them are very rare and won’t come into the market because it directly bought by people who sit on the top of this world,” he says while pointing his index finger heavenwards.
Favors to a boy with this great potential can protect his family later, but when something couldn't be done, he will say it straight to the face. That nearly impossible to own those ingredients even after he’s pulling all his favor.
Ven: Knowing that my brother bowing for me, and nothing I say will change his mind.
