Chapter 31 - 31 030 Cancer - A Student Doctor Sent by God

31: Chapter 030 Cancer – A Student Doctor Sent by God? _1 31: Chapter 030 Cancer – A Student Doctor Sent by God? _1 The doctor at the front was the director of Emergency Department, Dr. Zhang Xiande, also a vice-dean of the First Affiliated Hospital, who held some renown there. Behind him followed a few doctors also clad in white. Dr. Zhang’s medical skills were excellent and he held some reputation throughout the Southern Xiang Province. If he said the condition was somewhat tricky, surely he was certain about it. “Dr. Zhang, diagnosed the condition? Then tell us, even if it’s the worst-case scenario, we can handle it.” Xiao Yujie said calmly. At this moment, she was very composed, her mindset was even somewhat serene. She had previously discussed Zhao Xin’s father Zhao Yuancan’s condition with Lv Zhong. Xiao Yujie had rich life experience, she could gauge from Lv Zhong’s expression that her husband’s condition was quite severe. Her mind had prepared somewhat for the worse. Therefore, she could bear even the worst result by now. Just as Dr. Zhang was about to speak, again, a hand pushed open the door of the ward and three people entered. The party comprised two women and a man. The man, around forty years old, had a square face and large ears, his piercing eyes radiated a sharp light. His strides were energetic and full of vigor, he commanded such an imposing aura that others dared not stare at him. The two women following him, one in her thirties, had a round face resembling the full moon. Despite not being exceptionally beautiful, her face was filled with signs of good fortune. She dressed simply and elegantly, wore light makeup and her appearance gave people a very pleasant impression upon first sight. The other woman was around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, sporting a ponytail. While her face was above average, her height was quite tall – a striking 1.75 meters. In every movement, she emanated a compelling heroic aura. However, the faces of these three individuals were filled with worry. “Third, Ji Ying, Yuzi, why are you all here? Don’t neglect your work…” Seeing the trio entering the room Xiao Yujie gave a slight nod. This trio comprises of a man called Zhao Yuanyi, Zhao Yuancan’s cousin, referred to as the Third. He currently holds a high position in Yan City, even though he isn’t exactly the top official, he still possesses substantial influence in Yan City. Ji Ying was his wife. As for that tomboyish woman, her name was Zhao Ziyu, she was Xiao Yujie’s daughter, and Zhao Xin’s only sister. Zhao Yuanyi nodded to Xiao Yujie, showing a forced smile and said, “Sister-in-law, my elder brother has fallen into a coma. How can I, then, not come? Even if work is important, my older brother’s life matters more–” When Zhao Yuanyi was young, both of his parents tragically passed away earlier than expected. It can be said that he was pretty much raised by his cousin, Zhao Yuancan. In his heart, Zhao Yuancan was both a brother and a father figure to him. Thus their relationship was exceptionally good. When Zhao Yuancan fell ill this time, it genuinely frightened him. He was originally supposed to attend a meeting, but as soon as he heard his niece, Zhaoyu, on the phone, he rushed over immediately to the hospital where he met Ji Ying, who had also rushed over due to worry, and went upstairs together. After explaining this to Xiao Yujie, Zhao Yuanyi turned to face Dr. Zhang and the other doctors, he courteously said, “Dr. Zhang, speak, we all stand here listening.” Dr. Zhang naturally recognizes Mayor Zhao Yuanyi, nor did he dare conceal anything from him, and couldn’t help but say bitterly, “Mr. Mayor, we have temporarily stabilized Old Zhao’s condition. There’s no immediate danger to his life. However, Old Zhao has developed a malignant tumor in his stomach, and it’s already in its advanced stages…” Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Malignant tumor? It was a euphemistic way for Dr. Zhang to say it! In actuality, he meant gastric cancer! Before Dr. Zhang finished speaking, Zhao Yuanyi felt a surge in his blood and qi. Dots of lights danced before his eyes, and he almost fainted. On the side, both Ji Ying and Zhao Ziyu were similarly terrified but immediately moved to support Zhao Yuanyi. What’s more, even the tomboy Zhao Ziyu had tears welling up in her eyes at this moment. Xiao Yujie’s body also swayed slightly, but surprisingly, she didn’t collapse. Liu Wanqiong, on the other hand, embraced her tenderly, sobbing. This past month, Liu Wanqiong, Xiao Yujie and others had been in extreme sorrow. They hadn’t expected this sadness to come back again so soon, and Liu Wanqiong became somewhat overwhelmed. As she was holding Xiao Yujie, the white triangular-shaped paper she was clutching in her hand suddenly fell to the ground. Xiao Yujie, who was somewhat dazed, suddenly spotted the white, triangular paper on the floor. She struggled out of Liu Wanqiong’s arm, instinctively reached down to pick up the paper and gently unfolded it. When her gaze fell upon the contents of the unfolded paper, Xiao Yujie immediately opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief. Liu Wanqiong, noticing this change, also instinctively leaned over to peek. She saw a sentence written on the paper: “Diagnosis: Advanced stage Gastric Cancer! No surgery or organ removal is required, and no need to worry about cancer cells spreading. It can be treated with Chinese medicine! If you trust me, then refuse surgery, you can find me for treatment afterward, if not, then disregard this. No need for further phone communication. Also: Pay attention to confidentiality. I am a student, so don’t cause trouble for me!” The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, astonished! Although they didn’t really believe that Lv Zhong possessed brilliant medical skills, nor did they believe Lv Zhong could cure cancer. Yet, unconsciously they held a sliver of hope and expectation. Moreover, the impression that Lv Zhong had given them wasn’t that of a swindler. Xiao Yujie discreetly nodded at Liu Wanqiong, unnoticed by others, and slid the paper inside her pocket. The others didn’t notice Xiao Yujie and Liu Wanqiong’s movements. By this point, Zhao Yuanyi had also stabilized, he looked at Zhang Xiande with a grim expression and said, “Dr. Zhang, tell me, what are your plans for treatment!” Doctor Zhang Xiande also felt a bit apprehensive. If it were a commoner, he would definitely speak without reservation. But the person facing him was the fifth leader of Yan City. A real person of power. Swallowing slightly, Zhang Xiande said solemnly, “Old Zhao’s disease has reached the middle-late stage, we are preparing to perform gastric resection surgery, supplemented with chemotherapy, radiation therapy…” Hearing Zhang Xiande’s words, Xiao Yujie pondered for a moment, suddenly cut him off, saying: “No, I firmly oppose removing any of Old Zhao’s organs! And there’s no need for chemotherapy, radiation therapy…” Zhang Xiande looked at Xiao Yujie with a bitter smile, and then had to explain the situation honestly, “Madame Zhao, I understand your feelings. We doctors won’t mess around. Old Zhao’s disease has reached a critical stage. If we perform surgery and the auxiliary treatment is proper, Old Zhao may still live for a few years. If we don’t perform surgery, Old Zhao may not live for half a year. You should consider it.” “This…” Xiao Yujie hesitated a bit, paused for a moment, then said, “Director Zhang, thank you for telling the truth. However, we need to discuss it for now, we will come to you in an hour to tell you our decision. Is that okay?” “Alright then!” Zhang Xiande graciously nodded. He had encountered this situation many times and understood the hesitation of the patient’s family. He excused himself and led his assistants out of the ward. Once Zhang Xiande left, Zhao Yuanyi was also somewhat confused by Xiao Yujie, and couldn’t help but asked quite puzzled: “Sister-in-law, what…what are you thinking about?” “Old Three, don’t ask for now, I want you to help me check the background of a student, see what kind of family he comes from?” Xiao Yujie glanced at Zhao Yuanyi and asked. “This…this is somewhat inappropriate, but, it should be okay, I agree.” Zhao Yuanyi nodded in agreement, but he was extremely confused, wondering why his sister-in-law would take the time to check on a student’s background at this critical moment? He couldn’t help asking, “Sister-in-law, whose background do you want to check?” Xiao Yujie glanced at Liu Wanqiong before saying: “This person is a student at City No.1 High School, his name is Lv Zhong, about 1.75 meters tall. Old Three, please hurry up, and of course, try not to scare the kid…” Zhao Yuanyi nodded and directly called the principal of City No.1 High School, Li Ruicun, asking for his help straightforwardly. With Zhao Yuanyi’s stir, Li Ruicun was almost frightened. He immediately made a call to the personnel in the records room. Luckily, everything is digitally archived now. It’s quite quick to find a student’s information and file. After ten minutes, Zhao Yuanyi received the basic information of Lv Zhong, and using this information, he made several more calls. Twenty minutes later, a fairly detailed file was gathered together by Zhao Yuanyi. “Lv Zhong, a student in Senior Three Class One at City No.1 High School, currently living in Sangtang Town, Yan City, originally from General Town in Nanyue. His ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations, and they have produced quite a few famous doctors. But later the family fell into decline, and no one could carry on their medical skills. His father, Lv Tianlin, is currently a doctor at a township hospital. His mother, Liu Shuxian…” “This kid really is a student! Then, he didn’t lie to us! And he probably wouldn’t dare to lie!” Xiao Yujie pondered slightly, if this kid’s ancestors were doctors, then it would make sense that he could confirm that Zhao Yuancan had gastric cancer immediately. Perhaps he relied on the knowledge passed down in his family and happened to have seen cases of gastric cancer treatment among his ancestors’ patients. Could he really cure Zhao Yuancan’s cancer? Xiao Yujie knew that in this world, cancer is definitely an incurable disease. It might be possible to alleviate the disease for few years. But to thoroughly cure it without harming the body, that was almost impossible! Xiao Yujie was a bit hesitant. She silently thought in her ward for a while, then carefully recalled Lv Zhong’s previous actions and expressions. She suddenly realized that Lv Zhong didn’t have any reason to lie to her. And he always came over with Liu Wanqiong, so he shouldn’t be a con artist. Besides, traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. Since it has existed for so long, it must certainly have its miraculous aspects. Maybe this kid, Lv Zhong, really had seen a peculiar method for curing cancer in some ancient book. Thinking of this, Xiao Yujie resolutely said to Liu Wanqiong, “Wan Qiong, call Lv Zhong, and tell him I agree to let him treat Old Zhao!” What? Hearing this, Zhao Yuanyi, Ji Ying, and Zhao Ziyu were almost shocked by Xiao Yujie. They never imagined Xiao Yujie would ask a student to treat Zhao Yuancan. This is cancer, for goodness sake! And it’s middle to late-stage cancer! A high school senior, could he be a miracle doctor? Can he cure cancer? The three of them were instantly dazzled. They suddenly felt that Xiao Yujie must have been driven clueless by the shock! Yet, to their surprise, the usually calm and intelligent Liu Wanqiong didn’t try to talk Xiao Yujie out of it. Instead, she actually began to dial the phone.
