In the afternoon, at the First Hospital in Baiyun City.
When Jian Ai arrived, Wang Yunmei was already waiting at the entrance.
“Mom!” Jian Ai called out and quickened her pace.
When she got close, Jian Ai looked at her mother and said, “Did you bring the medical records?”
Wang Yunmei nodded and helplessly said to Jian Ai, “Mom can do this herself. You have class in the afternoon. You shouldn’t be here.”
“How can I do that?” Jian Ai pulled Wang Yunmei’s hand and walked towards the hospital. She said, “It’s not like you have a cold or a fever and can just come to the hospital and be put on a drip.”
Seeing that her daughter insisted on following her, Wang Yunmei had no choice but to listen to her. She didn’t want her daughter to come along because she was afraid that the doctor’s words would affect her daughter.
Just as Jian Ai had said, she did not have a simple cold or fever. It was cancer. Furthermore, the cancer cells had already started to spread. Even if the doctors from the Fourth Hospital said that the medical technology in First Hospital was the best in Baiyun City, Wang Yunmei knew that even if she went to the best hospital in the capital, the probability of curing her illness was almost zero.
However, she could not say these words to her daughter. She had promised her daughter not to give up.
The two of them got a number at the registration office of the oncology department. Jian Ai had already contacted Bai Zhou before she came. She only got a number so that her mother would not be suspicious.
Following Bai Zhou’s instructions, Jian Ai took her mother straight to the consultation room on the third floor. They stood at the door. Jian Ai looked up at her mother before raising her hand to knock.
“Enter!” A low voice sounded from inside the door.
She pushed the door open and entered. Jian Ai immediately saw Xiao Zhen in a white coat sitting in the consultation room.
As if knowing that he had a cold gleam in his eyes, Xiao Zhen considerately put on a pair of glasses. His gaze was hidden behind the glasses, and he immediately looked much gentler.
“Hello, Doctor,” Jian Ai pretended to be meeting him for the first time and said politely.
“Hello, Doctor,” Wang Yunmei said.
Xiao Zhen looked at the two of them coldly and nodded. “Please sit.”
Wang Yunmei sat opposite Xiao Zhen and placed the medical records in her hand on the desk in front of him. Jian Ai saw this and said, “Last week, she was diagnosed with liver cancer in the Fourth Hospital.”
Xiao Zhen didn’t say a word. Instead, he reached out to pick up Wang Yunmei’s medical records and started reading them.
Wang Yunmei sat on the chair and looked at the expert in front of her who looked to be in his twenties. She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart. ‘This person looks very imposing, but he was too young…’
Obviously, from the moment she entered the room, Wang Yunmei didn’t carry any hope.
The room fell silent, and Xiao Zhen flipping through the medical records was the only sound that they could hear. In the end, he raised the X-ray scan and looked at it carefully for a while before saying expressionlessly, “We have to arrange for surgery as soon as possible.”
“Doctor, is it possible to treat my mother’s condition?” Jian Ai quickly asked.
Xiao Zhen put the records back into the case bag and said, “The cancer cells have indeed started to spread, but they are not uncontrollable. Surgery can be performed to curb the condition. With post-treatment, she can completely recover.”
“Doctor, are you speaking… the truth?” Wang Yunmei was stunned and doubted her ears.
The expert said that she could recover completely?
Xiao Zhen glanced at Wang Yunmei and said, “How can we joke about something like this?”
“Mom, I already said that you would be cured!” Jian Ai played along with Xiao Zhen and immediately grabbed Wang Yunmei’s hand in excitement. However, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
