Clad in a long white coat, Head Doctor Fong walked out of the ward, followed by a female intern who was making notes on a clipboard.
Li Yun immediately came rushing up to him, her face creased with concern. "Is it… is it really that bad?" she asked.
Seeing Li Yun's haunted expression, Doctor Fong spoke with some exasperation. "Ah, you'll have to find the money somehow. First, we'll complete this operation. Anything else after that… you'll have to figure it out yourselves."
"How much will it cost this time?"
"The operation itself will cost quite a bit. Long-term care afterwards will incur many costs not covered by medical insurance. Old Jing's insurance records are a mess… If he'd been keeping up with all his payments, then this treatment wouldn't take more than twenty thousand. By the look of things, thirty or forty thousand may be needed instead.
