In the morning, Guan Tianping got up from his bed. It's been a long time for him to been able to sleep from night all the way to the morning. In the past six months, he has been coughing so hard each night that he had to take some medicine to help him sleep about two to three hours. And then, he would wake up from coughing again. Therefore, he was worn out both physically and mentally during that time.
To his surprise, he hadn't coughed at all since he arrived home last night. And now, he feels better than ever before.
"Grandpa, are you awake? We need to go to hospital today after breakfast." Guan Lingshan gently knocked the door to call Guan Tianping for breakfast.
When he went downstairs, housekeeper Zhang had already served incredibly bountiful food for breakfast, such as milk, juice, rice porridge, chicken congee, steam buns, all kinds of pickles and pastries.
"Ms. Zhang has prepared different kinds of foods, so, you can choose any one you like." said Guan Lingshan.
Looking at all these foods, Guan Tianping said: "I want Meling porridge."
"Ok, sir. I'll tell the chef to cook it for you right now." Ms. Zhang answered.
"It's OK, I'll go to hospital soon. You can make that for lunch." Guan Tianping thought a while, he said.
"Grandpa, are you still thinking about the porridge you had last night? I wonder how delicious that porridge is so that you can't forget it." Guan Lingshan can't deny those pork steaks were excellent, yet they didn't come to the point that would make her miss it all the time.
"Well, how to describe that to you…its nice flavor can even make you feel like you are 10 years younger. You won't understand this feeling, because you are too young now, let alone 10 years younger." Guan Tianling was in a good mood and joked with his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, you look good today." Guan Lingshan noticed that her grandpa was in a healthy complexion and had a better spirit.
"Is that so? I also feel quite well today. As we are talking, I don't even cough." said Guan Tianping cheerfully.
"It seems to be a right choice taking you back to our hometown. The naturally purified water and fresh air here are good for your body." Guan Lingsha analyzed.
After breakfast, Guan Tianping went to the South Hill First Hospital with Guan Lingshan's companionship. In the VIP room, the dean and deputy dean of this hospital, as well as the deputy director of the Health Bureau all stood up from their seat when they saw Guan Tianping.
"Glad to see you, Mr. Guan. I'm here, on behalf of the leaders of the municipal party committee, to extend our gratitude to you for your consistent support for the construction of your hometown over these years." The deputy director of the Health Bureau took the lead and shook hands with Guan Tianping.
"We should also thank you for trusting our hospital. Our expert team will try every effort to develop the best treatment plan for you." The dean said.
"Thank you all. As a dying person, I'm sorry for bringing these troubles for you." Guan Tianping replied them with a powerful voice.
"This is professor Li, the director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine. He is also your attending physician." Introduced the hospital's deputy dean.
"Nice to see you, professor Li." Guan Tianping reached out his hand first.
Professor Li was amazed because this aged man was standing in front of him, with a ruddy face and speaking with power.
"Professor Li? Hello?" Guan Tianping's hand was hanging in the air, but got no response from professor Li. Seeing that, the deputy dean was so worried and nudged professor Li.
"Oh…nice to see you, too. Well, we can start physical examination now, is that okay?" The professor was thinking in his mind: "Is that the sign of imminent death? How can patients with severe lung cancer look so spirited?"
"Of course. I like a man of action." Guan Tianping nodded.
The leaders standing by were unhappy about what professor Li had just said. Because their VIP had just came here, he didn't even have the chance to take his seat and drink some tea before being taken for a physical examination. Moreover, their flattering words weren't expressed either. In their opinion, professor Li really doesn't know how to act socially.
After a thorough examination in the morning, doctors in the experts' team all looked at each other with astonishment after seeing the examination and analysis report.
"Don't be silent, just tell us frankly the condition of my grandpa." seeing them all being quiet, Guan Lingshan couldn't help getting anxious and angry.
Finally, professor Li inquired cautiously: "Mr. Guan, a few days ago, we had a meeting to study your previous month's test reports, medical records and treatment records. The conclusion was that you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, which is at phase 2. Is that right?"
Guan Tianping seemed to know what Professor Li was going to say. He nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, anything happened, professor Li?"
Professor Li swallowed hard and said with a hoarse voice, "Today's test report shows that you have recovered."
"Recovered? What does that mean?" Guan Lingshan couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"That means… your grandpa is now… even healthier… than me." Professor Li explained brokenly.
"Have you received any special treatment recently? I have seen your medical records, and your last examination was done a week ago. This is…"
Because all these tests and laboratory data shows that the patient is healthy, and some of these tests were done by professor Li, so, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this report. Professor Li even wanted to doubt if anything went wrong with their instruments.
"Impossible, I never heard anyone with cancer recovered in a week. Do you really know how to do the examination for cancer patients?" Guan Lingshan doesn't believe it either.
"If you don't trust what I said, you can find another hospital and do a second exam. I promise you with my decades of medical experience and personal quality that our test results are absolutely right." It's a matter of their hospital's reputation. Professor Li had to guarantee the validation of the text results by himself.
"Lingshan, enough. I know myself better than anyone." Guan Tianping stopped Guan Lingshan and said "sorry for taking your time, it seems like this old fellow can live for a few more years."
Seeing Guan Tianping waking out of the office, professor Li hurriedly went after him and asked: "Mr. Guan, your previous illness can't be fake, and your recovery is also verified. Could you please tell me what happened to you during the past week? That's really a miracle in medical history."
Guan Tianping answered with a smile: "I also want to know how I recovered, but I guess this is just like what you said, a miracle. So, I have no idea about how this happened. Professor Li, it's better to pay more attention to other patients waiting for medical treatment. I gotta leave, see you."
"Grandpa, I still can't understand why would they insist you have recovered." Guan Lingshan still felt unreal about what just happened after they walked out of the hospital.
Guan Tianping pondered a minute and said: "Lingshan, you go home first. I have other arrangement this afternoon."
Watching Guan Lingshan take a taxi and leave, Guan Tianping got into his business car and asked the driver: "Little Ding, do you know how to get to the restaurant I had night snack last night?
The driver, Ding Jian, looked at the car navigator and answered: "Yes, there is a record in the navigator because we stayed there quite a while last night. Do you want to go there again?"
"Yes, drive to that restaurant." Guan Tianping nodded and took out his phone calling a number.
"Hello, old Xing, it's me. Yes, I come back. Hahaha, I'm very good. No, not as serious as they said. Are you free this afternoon? I'd like to have tea with you, it's on my treat. Great, I'll send you an address later."
"Hello, Boqing…" Guan Tianping made a few phone calls in the car.
Knowing nothing about this, Fang Tang had spent a whole morning thinking about a key question which is on the minds of millions of people; how to make a large amount of money in a short time.
