Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 990 - 954: I Must Stay Strong

The next morning, Lin Jie and An Kexin were in the kitchen preparing breakfast when Lin Miao ran in with a stack of newspapers."Brother, Sister Kexin, I asked the property guy to buy fifty copies each of the Binhai Evening News and Binhai Lifestyle Daily. That guy's apology letter is published in them."

Lin Jie received the news as soon as he woke up in the morning.

In addition to publishing a letter of apology signed by Cai Yanhe, explaining the facts in these two Binhai newspapers, the Cai Family also posted this letter on major websites and forums.

Judging from the content of this apology letter, Cai Yanhe's understanding is profound, and the sincerity of the apology is ample.

As to whether this letter truly reflects Cai Yanhe's thoughts, Lin Jie naturally didn't care.

Looking at Lin Miao, who was waving the newspapers and looking excited, he smiled and said, "Miaomiao, why did you buy so many newspapers? It's not like they hold much archival value. Just a couple of copies would be enough."

Faced with Lin Jie's question, Lin Miao haughtily replied, "Buying so many certainly has its uses."

"If anyone ever tries to make a fuss and say you turned a blind eye, I'll slap this newspaper in their face."

Lin Jie shook his head with a smile, picked up a pot of cooked porridge, and headed towards the dining room, saying to Lin Miao, "Breakfast is ready, let's eat."

Placing the porridge down, Lin Jie turned and saw An Kexin, acting like she was facing a great enemy, carefully transferring the fried eggs from the frying pan, fearing the hot oil would splash on her hand.

This reminded him of what was mentioned last night, so he said, "Kexin, during dinner last night, Miaomiao and I talked about hiring an auntie."

"Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

An Kexin immediately beamed, bringing over a plate of fried eggs, and said, "Hiring an auntie?"

"Great! Great!"

"Ajie, if we hire an auntie, we must hire someone trustworthy."

"The Auntie Zhong at my home has worked for us for nearly ten years."

She tilted her head in thought and said, "At the moment, I don't have anyone suitable in mind."

"I'll ask my dad to help. Maybe he or his friends might know someone suitable."

An Kexin further inquired, "Ajie, Miaomiao, aside from cleanliness, diligence, good cooking, etc., do you have any other requirements for the auntie?"

Lin Jie thought of something and said, "It'd be best if she has a driver's license and is a good driver."

"Miaomiao doesn't know how to drive, so if there's ever a need, she can drive Miaomiao around."

"Ooh," An Kexin responded, taking a bowl of porridge from Lin Jie, and asked Lin Miao, "You really don't want to learn how to drive?"

Lin Miao shook her head vigorously, firmly saying, "No way!"

"The traffic in Binhai is terrible. It's very convenient to take the subway everywhere. Taking a cab or ride-sharing like Didi is also quite convenient."

"As for the auntie, I have one more requirement: she needs to love animals and take good care of Lele…"

After breakfast, Lin Jie rushed to the University Affiliated Hospital.

There, he met with those waiting for him—Tian Xiangyu, Gao Yanhong, Guo Peng, and Yan Beichen—and first went to Elenna's ward.

Lin Jie saw Elenna, dressed in sportswear, doing yoga-like exercises in the ward.

He signaled that she could continue, then picked up a tablet from the bedside to review Elenna's basic check-up data from last night till now.

A few minutes later, Elenna finished her workout, and Lin Jie, seeing her looking good apart from some light sweat, asked, "After taking the Chinese medicine last night, did you feel any discomfort?"

Elenna took a towel from her caretaker, wiped her sweat, and with a slight pant said, "I did feel something, but it wasn't discomfort."

"Dr. Lin, lately, when I rest at night, I often feel my hands and feet getting cold. But last night while resting, for the first time I felt warmth on the soles of my feet."

"Also, in morning exercises, after four sets I used to feel exhausted. But this morning, after four sets, I still felt I had some energy left."

Elenna praised, "Dr. Lin, that bitter potion costing five to six hundred euros was worth every penny."

Lin Jie smiled, proudly saying, "Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years and it's not just an empty title."

He reminded her, "Starting today, you need to have a CT scan of the tumor area daily to monitor for abnormal changes."

"If the results are normal, the surgery will be scheduled for Thursday evening."

"Will your family be coming at that time?"

Elenna nodded, "I'll inform my family about the surgery time."

"They might not all come, but someone definitely will."

Lin Jie reminded her of some precautions and then headed to little Flavio's ward.

Upon seeing little Flavio lying in bed again, Lin Jie noticed he seemed a bit down, with a long face.

Jokingly, he asked, "Flavio, are you a little reluctant to stay in China and play football?"

Little Flavio turned his head away and ignored Lin Jie, letting him examine his injured leg.

Seeing this, old Flavio gave little Flavio a light slap on the head, and with a smile, said, "Dr. Lin, don't mind this little rascal. He's really quite willing to stay in China and play football."

Whether he was truly willing or not, Lin Jie could easily tell.

He smiled and said, "Whether or not you want to stay and play football in China has nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for the surgery."

"However, Little Flavio, you must understand."

"After your injury recovery, your competitive state won't return to its best immediately."

"It requires a longer process."

Lin Jie advised, "Although the competitive level of the Chinese professional football league isn't high, it should be sufficient for you as someone coming back from injury. You can play matches while recovering."

"As long as you can truly prove your strength, big clubs will surely notice."

At this point, Little Flavio snorted disdainfully, crossed his arms behind his head, and showed Lin Jie his two big nostrils.

Quite a rebellious kid.

Lin Jie mocked, "Little Flavio, from what I see, with your current mental state, I'm very worried you might not even manage to survive in our not very high-level professional league."

After saying this, Lin Jie no longer paid him any attention.

After a simple examination of his injured leg, Lin Jie instructed Guo Peng and Yan Beichen to conduct a detailed preoperative examination on him today, then left the ward.

Lin Jie lastly entered Yao Henan's ward and found Lei Jun's two assistants adjusting Yao Henan's exoskeleton system.

Zhang Xiaoxiao whispered, "Ah Jie, these two doctors said that after this adjustment, Nannan's legs will have to bear half the weight of her upper body."

"Is this all right?"

Lin Jie reassured, "Dr. Lei is an experienced orthopedic doctor. Since he's daring enough to adjust it this way, he must have done simulated research on it, and it's based on evidence and assurance."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, don't worry, it's all fine."

Zhang Xiaoxiao softly agreed and said, "Since you say there's no problem, then there is no problem."

"Ah Jie, given Nannan's current recovery speed, how much longer will it take her to fully recover?"

Lin Jie pondered and said, "Nannan's bone injury still needs about a month. For her atrophied lower limb muscle tissues, with her current amount of training, it should only need about half a month more."

"However..."

Lin Jie sighed softly and said, "From the current situation, even if she completely recovers, there is a big likelihood she'll need to use some corrective devices or a single crutch to assist walking."

Zhang Xiaoxiao also sighed deeply and regretfully said, "This result isn't the best, but compared to before when Nannan could only sit in a wheelchair, it's still somewhat of a pleasant surprise."

"Ah Jie, since Nannan will recover in one to two months, should we start processing her overseas study application?"

Lin Jie made a sound of agreement and said, "I'll handle this matter."

"There are quite a few study abroad agencies in Binhai. I'll find someone to get a reputable and competent one..."

He returned to his office and plunged into Elenna's medical data, further optimizing the surgical plan until nearly three in the afternoon when he was interrupted by Jian Jia.

"Dr. Lin, Binhai Detention Center called, they are asking for you."

Lin Jie's heart sank. He took the phone from Jian Jia and said, "Hello, this is Lin Jie!"

"Hello, Expert Lin!"

"I'm from Binhai Detention Center. We've just received the National Higher Court's approval for the death penalty review of Yao Jishun..."

Though expected, Lin Jie didn't really anticipate getting the exact news on Monday.

"When is it scheduled for execution? Is it today?"

"Expert Lin, it's not today!"

"Yao Jishun voluntarily proposed organ and body donation, for surgical convenience, execution time is set for this Thursday at three in the afternoon."

"Additionally, due to surgical needs and Yao Jishun's application, approved by higher authorities, the execution location has been set at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital..."

Lin Jie hadn't put down the phone for long before Cheng Xingguang arrived at the office.

Seeing Lin Jie's heavy expression, he walked up, patted Lin Jie's shoulder, and comforted him, "It seems you already know, this is something beyond human power to reverse, and we can only accept this reality."

"After receiving the notice, I've already dispatched a medical team to the detention center to conduct a medical examination for Yao Jishun."

"We'll then match patients across the country who need organ transplants based on the medical examination results."

"If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to match a dozen or so people. Besides safely transporting the transplant organs, some organ transplant patients will come to our hospital for the transplant surgery."

"Expert Lin, do you want to participate in this surgery?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Considering my relationship with Nannan, I won't participate in this surgery..."

At three forty in the afternoon, Lin Jie, having composed himself, returned to Yao Henan's ward once again.

Yao Henan, who was lying in bed reading a book, seemed somewhat to have anticipated this. She dropped the book in her hand, looked at Lin Jie, and with difficulty, asked, "Uncle, is it, is it..."

Lin Jie took a deep breath and said, "It's confirmed, Thursday at three in the afternoon."

He approached the slightly trembling Yao Henan, reached out to hold her in his arms, and said, "If you want to cry, then just cry!"

"I won't cry, I won't cry!"

"I promised Dad that I will be strong, I cannot cry..."
