Seeing Li Chuhan come in, the Liu family members stopped quarreling and made way for him.
āDirector Li,ā Liu Jingwei greeted him with a smile.
āLet me check the patientās condition first.ā
āOkay, thank you for your hard work, Director Li.ā
After giving the patient a simple check-up and looking at the data, Li Chuhan said,
!!
āHeās been out of the ICU for half a month. His recovery is not bad, but he still needs to recuperate.ā
āDoctor Li, with my fatherās current condition, he should be fine after heās discharged from the hospital, right?ā Liu Jingwei asked.
āIt shouldnāt be a big problem, but you have to pay attention to his diet. Exercise should be centred around walking slowly rather than exercising vigorously. It shouldnāt be a problem for him to live healthily for another three to five years,ā Li Chuhan said.
Hearing this, the members of the Liu family relaxed a lot.
Their father was already over 70 years old. After experiencing such a big ordeal, they considered it lucky if he could live for another three to five years.
āDepartment Director Li, if he goes through an operation, will he be even better off?ā
Although it was considered enough for him to live to such an old age, as his children, they were all greedy for more.
This was human nature, and anyone would understand.
Li Chuhan pondered for a moment. āIāve seen your fatherās case many times, and Iāve also consulted with the directors of other departments, but we donāt recommend surgery.ā
āIs it because of the cost?ā Liu Jingwei said. āThatās not a problem. Our familyās conditions arenāt too bad. We can afford a few hundred thousand yuan for the surgery.ā
Lin Yi glanced at Liu Jingweiās Rolex watch and Hermes Belt, and it was clear to her that he was not struggling by any means.
Even if the surgery cost millions, it wouldnāt be a problem for them. They were indeed rather well off.
āYou misunderstood me.ā Li Chuhan said.
āFirst of all, the surgery fee isnāt as expensive as you think. The reason why I donāt recommend the surgery is because your father is too old, which increases the risk. Even if itās a conservative estimate, the success rate will still be less than 10%. Itās very likely that he wonāt even make it off the operating table. Therefore, I think itās good for you to just maintain his current state. The risk is too great. Thereās no need to gamble. Just use these few years to spend more time with your father. Perhaps a miracle will happen and heāll end up living longer. There are many examples like this in Huaxia.ā
After listening to Li Chuhanās explanation, the Liu family members all nodded. They also thought that what Li Chuhan said made sense and they decided to give up on the surgery.
āNo, I think we still have to do the surgery!ā Xie Xiaotong suddenly said.
āSurgery? Itās really unnecessary,ā Li Chuhan said.
āDidnāt you just say that there was a 10% chance of success? We want to try.ā
āWhat are you talking about? Director Li just said that the surgery is too risky. Didnāt you hear her?ā Liu Jingyu said.
āDirector Li did say that, but how can you guarantee that there wonāt be any problems in the future?ā Xie Xiaotong said.
āWhat if thereās another accident when we get home? Three to five years is just an estimate. Thereās a possibility that he will live longer or shorter than that, so itās better to just have the surgery.ā
Lin Yi looked at Xie Xiaotong, unable to understand what she was doing.
If he didnāt have the system, and if the person lying on the bed was Mother Wangā¦
He wouldnāt have bet on the 10% possibility.
Was this woman crazy?
āThe risk is too high. I donāt agree to the surgery,ā Liu Jingwei said.
āJingwei! Youāre still Dadās son! Heās suffering from such a serious illness, and you donāt want to treat him? Iāve raised you for so many years in vain!ā
āWhat do you mean wonāt treat him? Iām just afraid because the risk is too great.ā Liu Jingwei said, āJust now, Director Li also said that if we go through with the surgery, itās very likely that he wonāt be able to get off the operating table. I donāt want to risk it.ā
āI think you just canāt bear to spend money.ā Xie Xiaotong pointed at Liu Jingweiās nose and said,
āLet me tell you, if you donāt treat your fatherās illness, youāre being unfilial. Itās meaningless to live with a person like you. We might as well get divorced!ā
āXie Xiaotong, what nonsense are you spouting?! What right do you have to demand the surgery? !āLiu Jingyu said.
āYou were married into the family, and now youāre going around threatening everyone. This is Old Liuās familyās business. You have no right to speak!ā
āHow can you talk to my sister like that?!ā Liu Jingwei said.
āThatās how I talk.ā Xie Xiaotong said, āIām telling you for Dadās sake, that he will be able to live a few more years if you do this. If you donāt do this surgery for Dad, weāll have to get a divorce!ā
As she said that, Xie Xiaotong took her LV bag and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the situation was going sour, Liu Jingwei went up and pulled Xie Xiaotong. āDonāt go yet. We can talk about it.ā
āWhatās there to talk about? Dad is already like this, but you still donāt want to do the surgery. Youāre really evil.ā Xie Xiaotong raised her voice.
āAnyway, Iāve said it here. If you donāt do the surgery, weāll be getting a divorce!ā
āBrother, just get divorced. With our familyās conditions, you can find someone better!ā Liu Jingyu said.
āLiu Jingwei, look at what your sister is saying?! Your family members are bullies. I canāt live like this anymore!ā
āSister, donāt say too much. This is our personal business,ā Liu Jingwei said in a low voice.
āYou!ā
Liu Jingyu was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She didnāt expect her brother to say such a thing.
āOkay, this is your personal business. I wonāt worry about it anymore!ā
Liu Jingyu stormed out of the door in anger, giving Qiao Xin a fright.
āLiu Jingwei, tell me quickly. Are you going to pursue the surgery for dad or not? If not, Iāll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau!ā
āOkay, okay, okay. Donāt leave. Iāll approve the surgery, Okay?ā
āThatās more like it.ā Xie Xiaotongās expression did a 180. She was a completely different person from before.
āAs a child, you must be filial. Otherwise, how can I count on you in this lifetime?ā
Liu Jingwei smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Li Chuhan and said,
āDirector Li, is the success rate of the surgery really only 10%?ā
Li Chuhan nodded. ā10% is just a conservative estimate. Donāt be too optimistic.ā
āIt doesnāt matter. Even if thereās a 1% chance, we still have to give it a try.ā
Li Chuhan was silent for a moment. āIāve already told you all that I needed to say. I also understand your eagerness to save your father. Iāll give you an hour to think about this properly. This isnāt a small matter. You canāt be rash.ā
It was clear that Li Chuhan did not want them to do the surgery.
However, she was only a doctor. She would still have to listen to the patientās familyās decision on whether or not to act.
Liu Jingwei nodded. āOkay, weāll consider itā¦ā
āThereās no need to consider it. Weāve decided to do the surgery as soon as possible. Itās best if we do it now!ā
āAre you sure?ā
Li Chuhan did not look at Xie Xiaotong. Instead, he looked at Liu Jingwei. He was the son of the patient, so he had the authority to decide on this matter.
āDo it.ā Liu Jingwei sighed and said helplessly.
āAlright then.ā Li Chuhan said, āI donāt have any objections if you want to do the surgery, but I donāt have time today. The surgery has to be scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.ā
āAlright, alright, alright. As long as the surgery is done as soon as possible.ā
Li Chuhan nodded. āLetās go.ā
The three of them walked out of the ward together. Li Chuhan said to Qiao Xin,
āLittle Qiao, come over this afternoon and give the patient a preoperative check-up. Then, get the necessary agreements signed.ā
āGot it, Director Li,ā Qiao Xin said.
āBut this family is strange. Youāve explained the situation clearly, so why are you still insisting on doing the surgery? If the person lying on the bed were my father, I wouldnāt do it.ā
āEveryone has their own ideas. Letās not make wild guesses and just do our job well.ā
āGot it, Director Li.ā Qiao Xin curled her lips and said, āBut that man is so cowardly. Itās good that he listens to his wife, but he is unable to make his own decisions.ā
āAn adopted dog is loyal forever.ā
