Doctor Xiao Song enthusiastically led the way for Fang Yan and left when the time was right.
It was almost time for the lights to go out in the inpatient department. The doctor on duty had a special lounge. The doctor's office was quiet, and only Cheng Zheng's light was on.
The office door was open. From Fang Yan's angle, she could see Cheng Zheng writing on the table. He was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. Logically speaking, this style was fashionable and was the most popular type among young people. It added a scholarly temperament to Cheng Zheng's face.
When Cheng Zheng saw who it was, he nodded slightly and gestured for her to enter. Then, he pulled out a scan and a few medical reports from the top folder.
"So many reports, and they're all mine?"
For the first time, Fang Yan felt that she might be very sick and not as healthy as she looked.
Cheng Zheng laughed at her. "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'd have to chat with you in the ICU now."
Fang Yan blushed slightly. What was wrong with her? She didn't even remember how many checkups she had done.
Cheng Zheng considered his next words and did not notice the flash of shyness in Fang Yan's eyes.
"These are your grandmother's. I went to the intensive care unit this afternoon, so I took out some time to find out more about her."
Fang Yan was surprised. "You went to see Grandma? How is she? Is she alright? Doctor Yao said that Grandma's condition is very dangerous this time."
"Yes, the current situation is not bad, but the condition is indeed a little tricky at times." Cheng Zheng's tone was light as he took out the scan and pointed it at Fang Yan. "This is the CT scan of her brain. Here, look, and here, they are all occupied and wrapped around the place with the densest distribution of nerves. Although the tumor is benign, it's developing very quickly. This is also the reason why Dr. Yao said it's dangerous."
"If this continues, what will happen?" Fang Yan asked.
"She'll only have… less than two months."
For the first time, Cheng Zheng hesitated when explaining his condition to the patient. He even felt that he was being a little cruel. These words should not have been said by Cheng Zheng, but Cheng Zheng insisted.
"Then, can you still operate?" Fang Yan asked carefully. "You can, right? Others might not be able to, but you can, right? You're the most outstanding surgeon at the operating table!"
Cheng Zheng fixed his eyes on Fang Yan, then rubbed his forehead tiredly and said helplessly, "I didn't expect Miss Fang Yan to approve of my abilities so much."
Cheng Zheng had indeed intended to take on this task, but he did not know that he would be praised to such heights by Fang Yan. For a moment, he was under a lot of pressure.
This 'Miss' made Fang Yan realize how emotional she'd acted.
"I'm sorry. Um, just call me by my name. We're about the same age."
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows. "That makes sense. Fang Yan?"
"Yeah. So, Director Cheng, you can do it, right?" Fang Yan confirmed with Cheng Zheng again.
"Sure." Cheng Zheng continued, "But even for me, Fang Yan, the success rate of the surgery will not exceed 50%. If that's the case, will you still persist?"
Fang Yan seemed to be able to hear her own slow heartbeat. She repeated in a daze, "50%? 50%… what if it fails?"
"If it fails, the patient may not be able to get off the operating table."
Fang Yan sat quietly. She needed time to digest Cheng Zheng's words. Was what she was about to face destiny? Was it possible that her grandmother would recover through treatment?
Cheng Zheng didn't want to see Fang Yan run into a dead end, so he changed the topic without a trace. "Grandma is old and her condition is more complicated, but fortunately, she took the medicine in time. The colleague in charge said that her waking time has been gradually increasing these two days. If there's a suitable time tomorrow, you can go in and talk to her."
Fang Yan was pleasantly surprised. "Really? I'm free anytime. When can I go?"
The last time Fang Yan rushed to the hospital, she didn't see her grandmother. The intensive care unit had strict visiting hours and strict limitations on the number of people. It was very difficult to get permission without an appointment.
Cheng Zheng smiled. "Although there's nothing wrong with your test results, there are still two days of observation. Have a good rest. I'll be the first to inform you when the time comes."
Cheng Zheng's assurance made Fang Yan temporarily relax.
Outside the office door, Hong Hao, who was on duty, was leaning against the wall, expressing his admiration for Cheng Zheng. "Tsk tsk, you're also an amazing person. I've never seen anyone fighting to be the bad guy in this day and age. Aren't you afraid of being single for the rest of your life if you chase after girls like this?"
