After discussing the specific details of Gao Qin's surgery with Pei Haiping, Chen Qiuhua, and the others for over half an hour, Lin Jie got up to see them off.
"By the way, Gao Qin has Rh-negative type A blood!"
Lin Jie suddenly rembered this, and advised, "Gao Yanhong, Zhao Fang, contact all the city's blood banks or mobilize so blood donation volunteers, and prepare at least one hundred units of Rh-negative type A blood before the surgery."
"Yes, teacher!"
As soon as Pei Haiping and the others left, An Kexin ca in carrying a tray with a bowl of noodles and so side dishes, "Ah Jie, you must be starving? This is your favorite that I got the restaurant to cook for you: shrimp, shredded pork, greens, and egg noodles. Hurry and eat."
Lin Jie was indeed famished, and after devouring half a bowl of noodles, he felt much more comfortable.
"Has the world-class hospital famous doctor clinic event plan been confird?"
An Kexin nodded and said, "The draft and promotional pages have been confird and will be released tomorrow morning through Ah Jie's dia account, hospital website, charity website, etc."
She adjusted the position of the side dishes and continued, "We're not going to advertise on other public dia anymore, firstly, because your dia accounts have millions of followers, which is enough to spread the word about the event."
"Secondly, to avoid overwhelming the patients."
"After all, those exchange doctors' main focus is to learn from you."
Lin Jie acknowledged with a soft hum and asked, "How's the contact with the field hospital going?"
An Kexin chuckled lightly and said, "Very smoothly."
"Today, so military personnel ca to survey the terrain and water, electricity, and other facilities. The colonel in charge of our liaison said the field hospital will be completed by tomorrow or the day after."
"Yes, the military will also dispatch a dical team of about eighty people. Moreover, according to the number of beds, nurses will be proportionately assigned."
Lin Jie drank so noodle soup and chuckled, "According to the agreent, about thirty of the eighty-person dical team will stay at Anlin Hospital long-term."
An Kexin was also pleased and said, "The military doctors generally have good character. Unlike so local doctors, who can't resist so temptations once they have a bit of skill."
Lin Jie, no longer concerned about breach incidents, inquired, "How's the handling of the contract-breaking doctors progressing?"
An Kexin exhaled softly, saying, "Sixteen people have obediently paid the breach fee. Nine breach cases have been ruled by the court, others are still proceeding."
Lin Jie nodded and stopped discussing it further, focusing on the noodles and side dishes in front of him.
After finishing the noodles, he took a cup of water from An Kexin, took a sip, and saw her holding a phone up to his face.
On the phone screen was an image of the two in Q-version wedding attire.
Lin Jie laughed, took the phone, moved closer to look, and said appreciatively, "I must say, although it's cartoonish, it captures the essence of our appearances very well. You can tell it's us at a glance."
An Kexin giggled and nestled close to Lin Jie, saying, "This was drawn by a comic master from Binhai; naturally, their skills are profound."
"Ah Jie, the company's promotional design team will use our Q-version images to design electronic wedding invitations and send them to guests attending the wedding."
"However, for our main relatives and friends in Binhai, we'll focus on paper invitations; Miaomiao and Keng will deliver them for us."
Lin Jie nodded, "Three weeks to go until our wedding."
He felt apologetic and a bit guilty, asking, "Is there anything else this groom needs to be busy with?"
An Kexin glared at him, saying, "Don't worry about anything."
"Just make sure you wear the groom's attire and appear at the wedding on ti."
Lin Jie laughed and said, "Your words imply I might be a runaway groom. We've already registered; even without this wedding, we're legally married."
An Kexin snorted lightly, "I'm not worried about you running off; I'm just concerned that at that crucial mont, a critical patient arrives, and your benevolent heart acts up, causing you to abandon to save the patient."
"Such a thing wouldn't happen!"
Lin Jie vowed confidently, "No matter how big the world, my wife and sister are the biggest. In that special mont, if any unreasonable patient cos along, I'll turn a blind eye."
"The world will keep spinning without anyone; it's not like only I can do it."
He stood up, kissed An Kexin on the forehead, and said, "I still need to check on the little patient from the Capital City; we'll rest afterwards..."
A small, thin figure lay silently on the hospital bed.
Her tiny face, the size of a palm, completely devoid of color, was as pale as a piece of white paper.
Her hair was dull, with no shine at all, and her eyes stared woodenly at the ceiling.
Lin Jie approached, but Gao Qin's eyes didn't move at all, as if she was in another world, and everything around her had nothing to do with her.
"Xiao Qin, Expert Lin is here." Gao Yao softly reminded her.
Gao Qin slowly turned her eyes, glanced at Lin Jie, and nodded slightly.
Alas, such a pitiful little girl, lacking vitality!
Lin Jie sighed internally, smiled at Gao Qin, and asked, "Do you know about my past?"
Gao Qin nodded gently once again, indicating that she knew.
Lin Jie sat down beside the hospital bed and said softly, "Then you must know that my previous situation was sowhat similar to yours, or maybe even worse."
He noticed that Gao Qin was looking at him with more attention, knowing that she was listening to what he was saying.
"Gao Qin, you have loving parents and family, while I only have a twin sister accompanying ."
"We weren't as wealthy as your family, and at that ti, in order to pay for the heart transplant, we sold our only old house."
"Actually, before undergoing the surgery, I had already fallen into a coma multiple tis. I had once instructed my sister that if I fell into a coma again, she shouldn't call the ambulance, perhaps it was better to just leave it at that."
Listening quietly at the side, Gao Yao's expression beca sowhat moved.
He hadn't expected that the now renowned Lin Jie once had such a past.
Gao Qin looked at Lin Jie with an even more solid gaze.
Recalling the past, a faint smile appeared on Lin Jie's face as he continued, "That ti, my sister didn't follow my instructions. She called the ambulance once again and sent , who was unconscious, to the hospital."
"That day was my lucky day..."
He touched his left chest, saying, "The hospital happened to have a heart for transplant that had been brought in from abroad, and the original patient who was supposed to receive it unexpectedly developed complications and died."
"Coincidentally, that heart happened to match ."
"So, the heart was unexpectedly transplanted to , bringing about the person I am today."
Lin Jie looked at Gao Qin and smiled gently, saying, "Gao Qin, I know you really dislike your current life and are dissatisfied with being neither alive nor dead, thinking you've brought too much trouble to your family."
"Gao Qin, I know you've surely fantasized more than once about what you would do once you recovered."
He teased, "I always wanted to beco a doctor, and now I have fulfilled that wish."
"Can you tell what you most want to do once your health is better?"
Gao Qin moved her lips and whispered two barely audible words: "Painting!"
Lin Jie let out a long "Oh" and, recalling, said, "Painting? I once had that wish too, wanting to travel the world and, upon seeing beautiful landscapes, paint them."
"It's just that now I've beco a doctor, and I'm so busy that I can't leave at all."
He eagerly said, "I hope you can fulfill this wish for , using your brush to capture the beautiful landscapes around the world."
"I... I..."
Gao Qin gathered a bit more strength and raised her voice a little, asking, "Can my body really recover?"
Lin Jie's smile grew brighter, and he pointed at his nose, saying, "You must also know that I have a nickna, 'Child of Miracles,' right?"
Seeing her nod once more, Lin Jie stood up and said, "My nickna didn't just appear out of nowhere; it's earned through one impossible surgery after another."
"I can confidently tell you that the delicate heart in your chest, I have great confidence in repairing it."
"Once repaired, your heart can provide more energy to your body, making you as healthy as an ordinary person."
"Moreover, you won't need to continuously take anti-rejection dication like heart transplant patients, because it is your own heart."
"Gao Qin, do you believe I can do it?"
Gao Qin nodded forcefully, saying, "I believe!"
"Just saying you believe isn't enough. You need to believe without doubt, and it has to be shown in your actions."
Lin Jie instructed, "This week, Gao Qin, you'll undergo so treatnts. anwhile, a nutritionist will custom-design your diet, all intended to enhance your physical condition."
"I need you to make an effort to cooperate, not to complain of hardship, nor to retreat."
Gao Qin responded with an "Mm," saying, "I will."
Lin Jie's tone beca solemn as he said, "Gao Qin, I must truthfully tell you that while I have confidence in your surgery, I cannot guarantee a hundred percent success."
"Ultimately, success is sowhat dependent on your ntal state."
He explained, "During the several hours of surgery, your heart will need to beat again."
"During this process of awakening your heart, your thoughts and willpower will be crucial."
"If you don't have a strong desire to live, a strong will to survive, your heart might just give up waking up, unwilling to beat again for you."
Lin Jie extended his hand, saying earnestly, "Gao Qin, shall we make a pact?"
"I will do my utmost to perform the heart correction surgery for you, and you also need to establish a determination to live on, firmly believing you can make it through the surgery and beco a painter who captures the world's beautiful landscapes in your paintings."
"Alright?"
Gao Qin raised her small hand and gently placed it on Lin Jie's big hand, saying, "Alright!"
