On Tuesday morning at nine, Lin Jie, Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, and the entire research team met Wang Jinglan, along with her companions Fu Hechang and Fu Wenzhu, in the examination room at Donghua Hospital!

After exchanging pleasantries, Fu Hechang put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Fu Wenzhu!"

Following his words, Fu Wenzhu, who had been silently following behind, took a few steps forward, bowed to Lin Jie, and said, "Dr. Lin, I'm sorry!"

"It was my rash words and lack of manners that offended you. Please forgive my mistake."

Before Lin Jie could respond, Fu Hechang continued, "The old man was greatly angry when he knew what Fu Wenzhu had said and done. He confined her for twenty-four hours, allowing only water but no food, to make her reflect on herself."

"Dr. Lin, please forgive my cousin. She didn't do it on purpose!" Wang Jinglan also pleaded.

Lin Jie smiled lightly and said, "I had long since put that behind me."

"We are all young people. Even if it was just a few harsh words, even if we argued, cursed, or fought, it would just be something to laugh off."

He looked at Fu Hechang and said, "This special apology makes me a bit embarrassed!"

Fu Hechang laughed and said, "A solemn apology is necessary."

"This matter also exposed a problem in the Fu Family's education of children; they become so utilitarian at such a young age, with a mindset of societal classes, alas…"

In this society, class distinctions may not be as pronounced as in ancient times, but they objectively exist, don't they?

Lin Jie, musing quietly, exchanged a few more words with Fu Hechang, thus completely resolving the matter.

Next, Lin Jie and others conducted a thorough and detailed examination of Wang Jinglan.

Through MRI, electromyography, muscle biopsy, tendon contraction stimulation, and other examinations, Lin Jie confirmed the precise muscle range of Wang Jinglan's nerve damage and had a clearer idea for the treatment plan.

All examination results were out by four in the afternoon!

The research team held a brief meeting to discuss things, then went their separate ways!

"Lin Jie…"

Chen Shi stopped Lin Jie, handing him a thick document folder and said, "These are the various physical examination reports of Pan Keying over this period, including the cranial CT images!"

Lin Jie took it and said, "I will carefully study it. If all goes well, I'll have the surgical plan confirmed tonight or tomorrow."

"At that time…"

Chen Shi said softly, "Once the surgical plan and your availability for the surgery are confirmed, leave the rest to me to coordinate."

"You can still use your usual surgical team, and regarding the operating room, I will discuss with Dean Tao."

"Lin Jie, thank you!"

Lin Jie gave a faint smile and said in a light tone, "That sounds way too formal between us. Now that I have this rare opportunity to come to Donghua Hospital, I'd like to visit the ward and see Zhuang Shilei!"

He waved the file folder in his hand, said goodbye to Chen Shi, and went to the inpatient building.

As soon as he exited the elevator, Lin Jie heard the melodious sound of a violin echoing in the hospital corridor.

The music was like gentle spring water in the forest, joyfully leaping forth.

Lin Jie paused in front of the ward to quietly enjoy it until the piece ended, then pushed the door open and entered!

"Ah, Dr. Lin, it's you!"

Zhuang Shilei hastily put down the violin, complaining slightly, "This is the first time I've seen you since the second surgery. You seem even busier than Professor Chen and Dean Tao."

"I'm just a new student, with a weak foundation and a busy schedule."

Lin Jie made up an excuse, looking at her left cheek wrapped in layers of bandages, and asked, "How do you feel? Why are you alone, where is your caregiver?"

Zhuang Shilei pointed to her left cheek and said, "A bit itchy and painful, but bearable!"

"My family has to work; otherwise, where would we get money to eat? We are all working-class people, still in the stage where no work means no food."

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "I'm not here to ask you for a red envelope or surgical fees, so there's no need to lament poverty."

Zhuang Shilei giggled and said, "Just joking with you!"

"Actually, in my current state, I can take care of myself, so I don't need family to watch over me during the day. They've suffered alongside me throughout this long hospitalization."

"However, my mom will come over in the evening to help me wash up!"

Saying this, Zhuang Shilei's right cheek showed a face about to cry, "I fear washing the most. My body is full of scars and the large bumps caused by the subcutaneous tissue expanders, it's really ugly."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Your current situation is like dismantling the east wall to repair the west wall, a way of transferring scars from your face to your body."

"However, once your left cheek recovers, you can gradually repair the scars on your body through surgery or other methods."

A smile returned to Zhuang Shilei's face as she said, "After this surgery, I think I'll have a psychological shadow about hospitals."

"As long as my left cheek recovers, I won't worry about the scars on my body, as they can be covered by clothes."

While saying this, the muscles on Zhuang Shilei's right cheek twitched involuntarily!

Lin Jie was aware that this was due to pain or some other discomfort!

It had only been ten days since the last surgery.

In light of the success of the first surgery, Lin Jie applied several layers of muscle fiber in the second surgery, so Zhuang Shilei's entire body was riddled with injuries.

Although it had been ten days of recovery, she hadn't fully healed yet; the pain was unavoidable, and accompanied by the tingling and itching, it was quite an ordeal.

Seeing the continuous smile on Zhuang Shilei's face, Lin Jie truly admired her.

Zhuang Shilei lightly touched her left cheek with her right hand and said, "Hope! Dr. Lin, the pain and tingling I feel in my left cheek and throughout my body are not unbearable torments, but hope."

"With that thought, I have no reason not to be happy. Besides, I can always use music to soothe my discomfort."

Lin Jie conducted an examination on her, found everything normal, and then left the ward.

As he got into the car and instructed Qin Gang to head home, Lin Jie opened the thick file folder. He took out the CT image films from different times, along with the case files, various examination reports, and lab reports inside.

He first thoroughly reviewed the CT images, roughly confirmed the surgical plan, and then began going through the various examination and lab reports!

As a doctor, Lin Jie knew that the human body is an incredibly complex system, and any irregularity in test data could be an alarm for some part of the body's pathology.

If a person has a brain tumor, it indicates that the person's immune system is compromised, and there may be other latent illnesses in the body.

Lin Jie didn't want a situation where the tumor was successfully removed, only for the patient to die on the operating table due to a breakout of other diseases.

As part of pre-surgery preparations, Lin Jie was particularly meticulous with the raw examination and test data!

The more he looked, the deeper Lin Jie's expression became!

After comparing several lab reports consecutively, Lin Jie pondered for a long time before finally taking out his phone to make a call!

"Su Xiaohui, it's me, Lin Jie!"

"I want to ask, how is your arm and hand recovering?"
