In the deep night, many operating rooms at the First Military Affiliated Hospital were dark, except for one that was bright like dayti.
Inside the operating room, Lin Jie's torso was as still as a stone sculpture, motionless, only his hands manipulating delicate surgical instrunts, either suturing, or sealing tiny glands and blood vessels at the site of liver damage.
Though one or two hours had passed since the surgery began, Lin Jie's hand movents were as steady as a mountain, swift like the wind, and smooth like water.
This made Chu Yongjin, watching intently beside him, feel like Lin Jie was as unreachable as a high cloud-covered mountain.
He thought to himself that he could maintain Lin Jie's level of concentration for no more than thirty minutes. Afterwards, his execution power would significantly decline, and his finger movents would, more or less, deform.
Regarding the technical movents of his hands, Chu Yongjin had to admit in his heart that talent does indeed exist.
He prided himself on having struggled on the surgical front line for over thirty years, and considered himself diligent, but when compared to Lin Jie's skills, the gap was quite evident.
If Lin Jie's technical level was seen as a master class, then his own skill could only be considered as entry level, at least one major level lower.
Chu Yongjin couldn't help but glance at the surgical nurse standing beside Lin Jie.
Her main job was to attend to Lin Jie, wiping sweat from his face, feeding him water and food, massaging his neck and waist, as well as handling injections for the surgical subject and suction of bodily fluids.
Chu Yongjin knew that this surgical nurse was Xia Yu, the daughter of Xia Kaige.
She had once had the opportunity to beco Lin Jie's student but was returned for various reasons.
At the ti, Chu Yongjin thought this was the wise decision, but now it seems...
Chu Yongjin sighed silently, and then thought to himself, everyone has their own destiny and shouldn't force it. Besides, following old Xia, Xia Yu's future prospects are quite good.
At that mont, he noticed Lin Jie had stopped the surgical operation and stood up, realizing that the repair of the liver damage was completed.
Chu Yongjin perked up and instructed, "We're starting the liver transplant anastomosis now, no one should slack off..."
With regards to the liver transplant, Lin Jie didn't intervene much; mainly, Chu Yongjin handled it.
As a mature and standardized surgical procedure, it was a smooth task for Chu Yongjin to work on.
To perform well in front of Lin Jie, he was motivated and exerted double his effort.
The result was naturally good, the surgery completion ti improved fifteen minutes beyond Chu Yongjin's best record.
Releasing the vascular clamp, Chu Yongjin watched the crimson arterial blood flow into the liver.
At this mont, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Jie, trying to discern any worry or other emotions in his exposed eyes.
However, all Chu Yongjin saw were calm and steady eyes.
He then shifted his gaze to the liver in the patient's abdominal cavity.
With the inflow of arterial blood, the liver seed to revive, its color deepened, it trembled slightly, and showed signs of peristalsis.
Chu Yongjin noticed that the site of the liver trauma repair did not seep blood or any other fluid.
This reassured him greatly.
Soon, the blood with slight color change flowed out from the connecting vein of the liver.
Seeing this, Chu Yongjin couldn't help but praise, "Expert Lin, you've saved another young life!"
Lin Jie was very modest, saying humbly, "This is the achievent of all of us, not only mine."
Chu Yongjin was very pleased, saying, "Expert Lin, leave the follow-up work to us, you can go rest."
"Thanks for your effort!"
Lin Jie didn't refuse, politely thanked, and left the operating room...
"The surgery was successful!"
Facing the crowd who gathered with concern on their faces, Lin Jie briefly explained the surgery situation, finally saying, "Observe in the ICU ward for twelve hours, if there are no problems, the patient can be moved to a regular ward."
"Thank you, Expert Lin!"
"Thank you!"
"Amazing dical skills!"
After accepting so complints and gratitude, Lin Jie unexpectedly noticed an acquaintance, Wen Junchen.
Finding a mont, Wen Junchen, who was standing outside, ca to Lin Jie and respectfully said, "Expert Lin, please accept my utmost gratitude once more."
"I should have realized then. In more than two years, after visiting so many doctors, the issue wasn't resolved, and you solved it with ease."
He said with emotion, "How could such a person be ordinary!"
"I was truly lucky, having the fortune to be on the sa flight with you, even sitting next to you, and gaining your selfless help."
"I suppose this is fate."
Lin Jie casually replied and then asked, "Are you a relative or a friend of the patient's family?"
Wen Junchen shook his head and said, "We used to be neighbors, the children grew up together and had a good relationship. Yesterday afternoon, when he was playing with my son and a few other boys, the accident happened."
"Among them, my son is the oldest, and, well, there's always so responsibility to be had."
Speaking of this, he gratefully said, "Luckily, Expert Lin you intervened... If anything really happened to this child, the future would be hard to say..."
At this ti, Zhang Yufei ca over and said, "Expert Lin, I've booked a room for you at the Hanlin Hotel near the hospital to make it convenient for you to rest."
"Let take you there now!"
Lin Jie looked at the ti, it was nearly four-thirty in the morning.
Today is already Saturday, and in the morning, he still had to be the witness at Xiao Ganghao and Zou Manqing's engagent ceremony.
After a quick calculation in his mind, he said, "I still have to rush back to Binhai, there's sothing in the morning I can't miss."
"I won't be staying at the hotel; I'll freshen up, grab a bite, and you arrange the earliest high-speed train for ."
"This..."
Zhang Yufei didn't expect Lin Jie to be in such a hurry to go back, and said apologetically, "Expert Lin, do you really need to rush like this? You've just operated on a major surgery and haven't rested all night."
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "It's okay; I can rest a bit on the train."
"Moreover, for doctors, sotis rushing to treat and save people, working round the clock, skipping als and sleep, isn't uncommon."
Seeing Lin Jie's firm tone, Zhang Yufei gratefully said, "Expert Lin, you've shown the dical ethics and deanor of a true dical great."
"Expert Lin, please go change and freshen up; I'll go prepare so midnight snacks for you..."
More than half an hour later, after freshening up and packing neatly, Lin Jie, with his backpack, left the hospital's lounge, only to find a few more people waiting outside for him.
Old Mrs. Ma, Xie Xingze, and a middle-aged man with a plump figure.
Lin Jie's attention was imdiately drawn to this middle-aged man.
Though being overweight ruins many, and with a double chin and fatty face, he had no relation to being handso, yet his eyebrows and eyes seed sowhat familiar to Lin Jie.
His heart understood, this guy must be the irresponsible biological father, Xie Xiwen.
Zhang Yufei, standing to the side, explained with so unease, "Expert Lin, they suddenly appeared saying they have important matters to discuss with you, I... I..."
Lin Jie raised his hand to stop him and said, "It's alright, so things don't need to be avoided."
He looked at Old Mrs. Ma and asked, "How is your grandson recovering?"
Old Mrs. Ma sized up Lin Jie, whose expression was calm, sighed quietly, and said, "Thanks to your accurate diagnosis, Expert Lin, he's recovering quite well; to make care easier, we transferred him to pediatrics here two days ago."
"Expert Lin, let introduce you!"
She pointed to the plump middle-aged man and said, "This is Xie Xiwen from the Xie Family, also Xie Xingze's father."
"Nice to et you!"
Lin Jie said in a plain tone, "What do you want to discuss with ? Let say upfront, I'm in a hurry to return to Binhai; it's best if you keep it brief and clear."
Xie Xiwen assessed Lin Jie, opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I know, whatever I say, you won't forgive . I have no right to ask for your forgiveness."
"I've co to explain sothing to you."
Lin Jie didn't speak, he just quietly looked at him.
"Regarding the bone marrow matter, I really didn't know; the Liu Family told they found a compatible donor through private channels, and paid twenty thousand for a bone marrow."
Linjie lightly responded, "Is there anything else? If not, I need to go, my ti is really tight."
"Lin Jie!"
Old Mrs. Ma spoke again, "The old master of the Xie Family is also in this hospital; he doesn't have much ti left."
"He has learned of your existence and wishes to see you before he passes."
"Lin Jie, since you're here in Capital City and this hospital, stay and see him; consider it a good deed, fulfilling a dying man's last wish."
Lin Jie remained silent for a mont, then said solemnly, "Now I know of your existence, and you know of mine."
"I imagine you've investigated what kind of life Miaomiao and I have lived in the past."
"I don't want to say more about the past; maybe everyone has unavoidable choices or unethical choices, but what's past is past."
Lin Jie's tone beca stern, "Miaomiao and I have lived this way for 21 years, we're accustod to what we have now, and don't want any changes in the future."
"I don't want anyone disrupting our lives."
His gaze swept over Old Mrs. Ma, Xie Xiwen, and Xie Xingze, warning, "I'm serious about this; you better rember it."
Lin Jie vaguely threatened, "Please believe, you don't want to know the consequences of provoking a doctor like ."
After saying this, he walked away, and as he passed Zhang Yufei, he said, "I suddenly lost my appetite, take straight to the train station..."
