The confirmed post-operative damage was the loss of hearing in his right ear.
Yan Feifan was quite satisfied with these results.
Given the severity of Zhou Yan’s brain tumor, simply surviving with a clear mind was a victory, a sign of the surgery’s complete success.
Now, based on his examination, he would have no problem taking care of himself, which could be considered a huge, pleasant surprise.
Yan Feifan opened the other messages and missed call notifications and was surprised to find they were all from the same person.
Sun Le.
In his messages, he had enthusiastically invited Yan Feifan to get together.
"Who’s Sun Le?" Yu Suye’s little head poked over.
"A senior from medical school, six years ahead of me!"
Yan Feifan explained, then added, "I’m not really familiar with him. We just know of each other, the type to nod and say hi when we pass by."
"It’s weird that he’d suddenly invite me out!"
Yu Suye skillfully tied up her hair and said, "There’s always a reason for strange behavior. When someone you barely know suddenly gets friendly, they’re either trying to borrow money or ask for a favor."
"Or maybe he’s getting married or had a kid and is about to send out a ’red bomb’."
Yu Suye offered her serious-sounding analysis, then asked, "Which department is he in? Is he an attending physician?"
"Neurosurgery attending!"
Hearing this, Yu Suye immediately went "Ah!" and chuckled. "Feifan, I think I know why."
"Why’s that?" Yan Feifan asked curiously.
Yu Suye giggled. "He’s a neurosurgeon, you know. Think about what you’ve been involved with recently that’s related to neurosurgery."
"Johns Hopkins Hospital!" A flash of insight struck Yan Feifan.
"Exactly!"
Yu Suye grinned again. "He must be after that exchange and training opportunity."
"That training opportunity exists because of you, and you’re on very good terms with Dr. Qiu Ge."
"If you were to recommend him, all the parties involved would surely give you face."
"That guy is pretty good at focusing on what matters."
Yan Feifan shook his head, saying doubtfully, "The hospital’s partnership negotiations with Mr. Vega shouldn’t be over yet."
"He probably doesn’t know about this training opportunity yet."
Yu Suye just grinned and said, "Feifan, in any company or institution, as long as more than three people handle something—especially matters involving personal gain—it’s very difficult to keep it a secret."
"I’m sure that for some of the partnership details with Mr. Vega, everyone in the hospital who’s in the know, knows everything already."
Yu Suye then said eagerly, "How about we make a bet? I bet Sun Le is looking for you specifically for this reason!"
Yan Feifan, who already believed her analysis, put his phone away and said, "I’m tired and hungry right now. I’m in no mood to make a bet with you."
"Let’s hurry home, eat, and sleep..."
Yu Suye linked her arm through Yan Feifan’s and smiled. "Okay, let’s go home to eat-eat and sleep-sleep..."
