The man lying on the hospital bed had plaster casts on his limbs. He was thin, and his eyes were covered with gauze.
The man’s left eyeball had been removed.
His right eye, after several surgeries, had fortunately been saved. His vision was expected to recover to 0.4 or 0.5.
Yan Feifan gave his... ’area’... a brief examination.
The man’s... ’area’... still had a two-centimeter stump remaining and was currently fitted with a urinary catheter.
Yan Feifan then checked his left and right toes, as well as the man’s overall physical condition.
After the examination, Yan Feifan concluded that although the patient’s condition was somewhat poor, he could still withstand the surgery.
After all, while their procedure was long, the physical trauma was relatively minor.
Waiting for the guinea pig’s body to fully recover before the operation would mean another long and torturous recovery process for him.
’He’s already in this state, what’s one more cut? Might as well get it all over with at once.’
As Yan Feifan finished his examination and was about to leave, someone called out to him.
"Doctor, after the surgery... my function down there... it can be restored to normal, right?"
Yan Feifan glanced at Mrs. Yu. Seeing no signal from her, he slowly began, "That... I can’t guarantee it."
"You should be aware that this is an experimental surgery. You’re our first clinical subject."
"However, based on our theoretical analysis and some surgical trials, the probability of functional recovery is relatively high."
The guinea pig said, "Oh." He tried to form an expression on his face but failed.
"In my situation, it’s a long shot. I’m just betting on a slim hope, treating a dead horse as if it were still alive."
Yan Feifan comforted him, "The hope is actually quite significant. There’s at least a thirty to forty percent chance."
"Of course, even if the surgery is successful, a complete return to normal function is impossible. The structure will be different, after all."
"You’ll also need to cooperate with us on some tests."
"And also... exploring..."
Yan Feifan organized his thoughts and said, "...new methods of use."
His words successfully brought a faint smile to the guinea pig’s face.
"Exploring... I like that. I like exploring new things..."
Yan Feifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes...
「At 6:25 PM」
Yan Feifan, accompanied by Yu Suye and his sister, arrived at the Lotus Fragrance Restaurant, not far from the hospital.
"Sis, Su Ye, are you sure you’re not coming in with me?"
Yan Ziruo shot him a look and teased, "What, are you scared you can’t handle it on your own?"
"Feifan, you’re a grown-up now. You don’t need us to protect you anymore. It’s time you learned to face things by yourself."
"Su Ye and I will just order dinner in the main hall and have a little girl talk..."
Before his sister could finish, Yan Feifan turned and headed up to the second floor.
He knocked and entered Private Room 206, only to find Sun Le sitting alone at a round table big enough for ten people...
