Yu Haiyang snapped back to reality when he heard Grandpa Xi and Grandma Xi’s words. Director Mou mentioned just now that there was a miracle-working doctor who could cure his mom but who exactly was this person? Yu Haiyang replied,
“Great-grandpa, I was just about to ask when you and Great-grandma came in.”
Yu Haiyang then turned and walked up to Director Mou. No matter what, he must find out who this miracle-working doctor was. Yu Haiyang must ask this doctor to come and save his mom; he hadn’t even started making money to spoil his mom yet. Yu Haiyang grabbed Director Mou’s hand and pleaded,
“Grandpa Mou, I’m begging you. Just tell me who it is. I’ll go and beg this doctor right now.”
When Grandpa Xi heard this, he knew that there was someone who could save Xi Xiaoxiao but it seemed that only Director Mou knew who this person was. Why didn’t he just tell them? Didn’t he want to save Xi Xiaoxiao? Grandpa Xi went forward and held Director Mou’s hand eagerly. It was Director Mou who saved his life back then. Grandpa Xi said,
!!
“Director Mou, you are here too. My granddaughter’s illness… You must save her.”
Director Mou saw that it was Grandpa Xi. Years ago, Grandpa Xi had a tricky brain tumor too, and it was him and Su Jin who took it out. Su Jin was the main surgeon, and this was how they saved Grandpa Xi from the brink of death. Now that they met again, it was like when old friends meet. Director Mou held Grandpa Xi’s hand and said with a smile,
“Grandpa Xi, are you still healthy?”
Grandpa Xi’s face was filled with grat.i.tude when he heard this. His brain tumor from back then had almost taken his life. Thankfully, Director Mou treated him, or he wouldn’t have lived till today! Grandpa Xi replied excitedly,
“Director Mou, it’s all thanks to your excellent treatment back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lived till today, and a healthy life at that!”
The head of the research inst.i.tute felt a little guilty when he heard this. The operation back then was only known to the few doctors who were present. He wasn’t the main surgeon but an a.s.sistant. Director Mou looked at Su Jin and then said humbly,
“Grandpa Xi, you’re too kind. The credit’s not mine, it’s…”
In fact, the credit was all Su Jin’s but before he could say it, he saw Su Jin shot him a look. She didn’t want him to reveal the truth, so he changed the subject immediately,
“Grandpa Xi, how have you been all these years? Any side effects?”
Grandpa Xi was very grateful when he heard this. His health had been good all these years, all thanks to the timely surgery back then. There were no side effects at all. All this sufficiently proved that Director Mou was very skillful. Grandpa Xi replied,
“I’ve been well. It’s all thanks to your brilliant skills!”
Director Mou felt guilty when he heard this. He had only been an a.s.sistant. It could even be said that he had only watched the whole operation back then. He was not worthy of such praise. Director Mou felt very uncomfortable as he said humbly,
“Don’t say that. It’s not at all…”
Grandpa Xi interrupted Director Mou. His granddaughter was now in danger, they could speak words of grat.i.tude later. His granddaughter couldn’t wait anymore. It’s better to let Director Mou treat her as soon as possible. Grandpa Xi said expectantly,
“Director Mou, this is my granddaughter. She also has a brain tumor. Do you think you can save her? You were able to save me back then. I’m sure you can save my granddaughter now. She’s still young!”
Director Mou looked troubled when he heard this. The person who could save Xi Xiaoxiao was right in front of them, but no one was listening. Everyone thought that he could perform the surgery. Director Mou sighed helplessly when he saw the antic.i.p.ation in everyone’s eyes before he replied,
“Your granddaughter’s brain tumor is too big and it’s pressing on her nerves. It’s not that I don’t want to save her, but I only have a 40% chance of success!”
Grandpa Xi looked at Director Mou in disbelief when he heard this; he almost fainted. What should they do? If the head of the research inst.i.tute wasn’t confident, Xi Xiaoxiao would be dead for sure. Grandpa Xi replied with a trembling voice,
“What… What did you say? You don’t have much confidence either? Then… Then what will happen to my granddaughter? She’s still so young! She has such a long future ahead of her. Director Mou, you must think of a way to save her!”
