"His surgery isn’t particularly difficult. The tumor is just pressing on his visual center, causing blindness."
"The young patient has his high school entrance exams in a few days."
"He and his family want to know if it’s possible to restore his vision first so he can take the exams, and then have the surgery afterward."
Hearing this, Yan Feifan thought of the classmate Tian Yu had mentioned last night.
"Dr. Qiu, is this young patient from Huinan District Ninth Middle School?"
He had barely finished speaking when Qiu Ge’s surprised voice came from the phone, "Yes, he is. From Huinan District Ninth Middle School."
"Did someone pull some strings to get to you beforehand?"
Yan Feifan explained, "No one contacted me. He’s a schoolmate of my neighbor’s little sister."
"That girl told me last night that a student at her school had suddenly gone blind."
Qiu Ge’s light laughter came through the phone. "What a coincidence. It seems you two are fated to meet."
"Mr. Yan, the most convenient and effective way to temporarily restore his vision so he can take his exams is to use your puncture and injection technique to shrink his tumor."
"Mr. Yan, are you available?"
Yan Feifan frowned. "Dr. Qiu, you know as well as I do that a puncture will inevitably cause some brain damage."
"Is it worth inflicting additional damage on the brain just for the high school entrance exams?"
"Wouldn’t it be better for him to repeat a year, and then get into a better key high school with better grades?"
Qiu Ge sighed over the phone. "I tried to persuade them with the same argument."
"The problem is, they insist on him taking the exams first. They say that falling behind one year means falling behind every year, and he’ll never be able to catch up."
"They also said they’re confident he can get into a key high school this year."
"Mr. Yan, if you don’t take his case, they’ll opt for managing it with medication."
"In my opinion, that method could potentially have even more severe consequences than your puncture and injection technique."
Hearing this, Yan Feifan found it somewhat incredible.
’What kind of child and parents are these?’
’Are the entrance exams more important than anything? Are they choosing a test over his life?’
Yan Feifan shook his head and said into the phone, "Dr. Qiu, let me take a look at his tumor scans first..."
After ending the call with Qiu Ge, Yan Feifan also finished his lunch, left Baining Hospital, and started his journey back.
While waiting in the lounge at Shoudu Capital International Airport, Yan Feifan received a video call from his sister.
"Feifan, guess what car I bought?"
From the background in the video, Yan Feifan could see his sister and Yu Suye were at a car dealership.
"How could I possibly guess what car it is?"
Yan Feifan gave up. "I’m not going to guess."
"Sis, as long as you didn’t buy a supercar worth millions or tens of millions, I can accept it."
"Hee hee, why would I be such a spendthrift?"
His sister’s cheerful voice came from the phone, "Feifan, watch closely! The moment of truth..."
"...is here..."
After a shake of the phone’s camera, a vibrant red compact car appeared in the center of the screen.
It was a convertible Beetle...
