1118: Not Smelly

Not Smelly

The Divine Doctor had performed a miracle. Then, his student had opened the eyes of those in the medical field. The surgery only required one doctor. If everyone could be as good as the Divine Doctor's student, then the country would not lack doctors.1

Many patients in various departments even had to wait one or two months for their surgery. For some patients, it was a life-consuming wait. 

Jiang Yao was debating how to respond and whether she should reveal her identity. The doctor did not seem to mind that she was deep in contemplation; it was as if she were distant and unconcerned about others. "May I ask if you could share with us how you did that surgery?" he continued to speak to her.

When the doctor finished speaking, the other doctors on the other side nodded in agreement.

"That's right. That child's condition is severe and unique. His hemolytic anemia is already difficult to manage. Aside from medications, he also needs a suitable bone marrow to regenerate his blood cells. However, it doesn't seem to be the case for you. The child has a problem with his heart, and that kind of surgery is highly challenging with an even higher mortality rate."

Jiang Yao shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't do that. That is what my teacher had taught me, and he told me not to tell anyone."

"It's okay. We understand. I heard that many of those procedures are being studied by a research institute. We understand." The doctor was not angry when he heard about Jiang Yao's rejection.

It was customary for an expert to reject that kind of request.

Jiang Yao gave the prescription to the doctors before she left with Lu Xingzhi and the others. She did not know that the simple prescription was enough for them to study for a long time.

She had to return to the system at night to prepare some medicine for the baby. Furthermore, she was unable to extract it directly from the system. After all, she had received the news in a hurry. It was impossible for her to get the medicine just because she said so. She still needed some time to conceal it so that people would think that she needed time to come up with that.

However, the child still needed some medicine at night, so she took those she could use.

After they left the hospital, Jiang Yao got into Lu Xingzhi's car. Luo Ruoran returned to her car and let Gu Haoyu drive. They had agreed on a place for a meal and drove two cars there.

Jiang Yao had just been in an operating theater, so she smelled like disinfectant. She lowered the window when she got into the car; she did not want the vehicle to smell like that. However, Lu Xingzhi stopped her.

"It's only some disinfectant."

Lu Xingzhi did not care. Jiang Yao was a doctor, and he was her husband. He would have to get used to the smell of disinfectant eventually.

Furthermore, it was not a bad smell. Lu Xingzhi had smelled worse, so he could put up with it. 

If one were to ask Lu Xingzhi the worst smell that he had ever experienced, he could tell them about the stench of a corpse that had been soaked in a mountain ditch for more than a month of exposure to the sun. 

It was already late when they arrived at the restaurant; Jiang Yao's surgery had taken too long. Jiang Yao knew that they lived in a small world, but she had not expected it to be that small. 

Jiang Yao was talking to Lu Xingzhi with her head lowered as she walked into the restaurant. Then, she saw Cheng Jinyan, who held a child's hand in one hand and a takeaway box in another. It seemed like they were on their way home.
