NOVPUB"So you’re saying that whatever the hospital asks us to pay, we can only passively pay that amount?"
Zhao Xu really wanted to curse at that moment, but his assistant just nodded and said, "The cost of this kind of surgery is actually manageable, as it can be paid off in one lump sum. The key issue is the boy’s subsequent hospitalization and follow-up medical expenses; those are unpredictable. Various nutritional reparative solutions and the like in the hospital are very expensive."
Hearing what the assistant said, Zhao Xu felt an instant headache.
Although he was annoyed, he still had to obediently follow the nurse with his people and pay the fees.
...
In the hospital, inside the ward.
When Wu Bin opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.
Feeling a slight throbbing pain in his abdomen, Wu Bin couldn’t help but frown.
It seemed he had survived again.
Just as Wu Bin was preparing to sit up in bed, a familiar and gentle voice came from nearby.
"Don’t move while you’re lying in bed, do you want to sit up? Wait, I’ll crank the bed up for you."
Turning his head, Wu Bin saw that the speaker was his old acquaintance, Yin Yourong.
Yin Yourong, dressed in a nurse’s uniform, looked like an angel in white as she bent down, slowly cranking up the bed for Wu Bin.
Once Wu Bin had sat up, Yin Yourong then came over with a tray and medicine.
"Good timing, you’re awake. Come on, time for an injection."
Seeing Yin Yourong holding a syringe, Wu Bin had a bitter-sweet reaction.
"Haven’t I recovered already? Why do I need another injection?"
Yin Yourong explained seriously, "This is an anti-inflammatory injection. You still have some inflammation in your body that hasn’t subsided. The doctor said it’s essential to control it with this injection. Be good, I’ll be quick and it won’t hurt."
Yin Yourong coddled Wu Bin like a child, coming to the bedside to give him the injection. She sat by the bed, wrapping one arm around Wu Bin while the other hand performed the injection.
Wu Bin, smelling the faint scent emanating from Yin Yourong, felt an extremely comforting sensation.
Every time he had been sick before, it was Yin Yourong who took care of him, so the two had become very familiar with each other.
Now, just being with Yin Yourong gave Wu Bin a very reassuring feeling.
"Wu Bin, what’s wrong?"
Yin Yourong had finished the injection only to find Wu Bin leaning against her, eyes closed, looking like he wanted to sleep.
Wu Bin said, "You’re so soft, I didn’t sleep well last night. Let me lean on you for a while."
Yin Yourong’s cheeks flushed pink.
In fact, during the days when Wu Bin wasn’t in the hospital, she missed him a lot.
However, because of work, she didn’t have much time to take leave and go out to have fun.
Now that Wu Bin was hospitalized, she had been reassigned by Li Guotai to take care of him specifically.
For some reason, every time Yin Yourong was alone with Wu Bin, her heartbeat would speed up, and she would feel shy but very comfortable.
Now, with Wu Bin, a big man, leaning on her, she didn’t feel the weight at all; on the contrary, she found it very comfortable as well.
The two of them sat quietly next to each other on the hospital bed, leaning on each other.
It was as if they were not in a hospital room at that moment but on a grassy field in some park.
Just as Yin Yourong was about to fall asleep, the door to the ward suddenly opened, and Li Guotai walked in with a group of doctors from outside.
Both were startled, and Yin Yourong promptly jumped up from the bed and separated from Wu Bin.
The netizens in the live streaming room witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but feel envious.
"No way, aren’t people supposed to recover in the hospital? Why is my bro Wu picking up chicks during his stay?"
"Oh my god, this nurse is so gorgeous. Is she my bro Wu’s girlfriend?"
"You must be new here, the nurse is the prettiest in this hospital, her name is Yin Yourong. But she’s not my bro Wu’s girlfriend because there are too many women chasing after him, she has to get in line."
"I’m getting more and more jealous of bro Wu. Wherever he goes, women flock to him. If I had his charm, I wouldn’t have been single for so many years without getting married."
Everyone in the hospital knew about Yin Yourong’s little crush on Wu Bin, so the doctors weren’t surprised by this scene and didn’t say much.
But when He Bingbing saw this, her mood suddenly became a bit complicated.
She liked Wu Bin too, and even though she hadn’t revealed her feelings to him, she knew that she had a fondness for him.
So seeing Wu Bin with another woman made He Bingbing feel very uncomfortable.
As the atmosphere grew a bit awkward, Li Guotai smiled and broke the ice.
"You young man, your recovery is quite fast, eh? You can already sit up?"
Once he saw Li Guotai, Wu Bin reverted back to his naive college student act.
There was no helping it, Li Guotai was highly skilled in medicine and also very astute; he was too clever.
If he didn’t play dumb in front of Li Guotai, he wouldn’t be able to outplay the old fox.
"Director Li, what’s the status of my body now? There won’t be any sequelae or complications, will there?"
Li Guotai said with a smile, "Don’t worry, the surgery was very successful and won’t leave you with any sequelae."
"However, your body is indeed special. Your ribs weren’t broken, but your liver suffered severe damage, which gave Director Zhou and his team quite a scare; they fought hard to save you."
"But soon after you passed the critical period, your body began to recover on its own. The rate of recovery for your injured liver was also astonishing, which is very much worth our scientific investigation."
The liver is one of the most special organs among all organs.
It has no pain nerves of its own, so even if the liver is damaged, you wouldn’t feel the pain.
It’s only after the liver is damaged that a series of chain reactions occur, causing you pain.
Also, liver cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and is referred to by doctors as the king of cancers.
This title comes from the fact that the liver doesn’t feel pain.
So by the time you notice something is wrong and feel a slight pain, you’re already in the late stages of liver cancer, and there’s no saving you.
Generally speaking, the mainstream method for treating liver cancer is surgical resection control.
After all, the liver has a strong regenerative capacity. Even if a large part of it is removed, it can quickly recover and become whole again over the next few months.
Even so, Wu Bin’s liver recovery and regeneration capabilities were beyond all doctors’ expectations.
The growth and repair capabilities of Wu Bin’s liver cells were even a hundred times faster than those of an ordinary person!
This is of great value to medical research, which is also why Li Guotai came to see him as soon as possible.
Li Guotai looked at Wu Bin and said, "Wu Bin, we are planning to launch a new type of project study with you as the target, what do you think about that?"
