Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Benevolent Heart of a Healer_1
Military Police Hospital.
Zhou Xiaofu was cured of kidney failure, but her body was still very weak. After all, she had one kidney removed and needed to stay in the hospital to rest and be observed for a while.
The dical staff at the Military Police Hospital, upon learning that her severe kidney failure had been cured, were astounded, finding it quite unbelievable.
Zhou Xiaofu’s condition had been very serious, with only one kidney functioning and infections from multiple types of bacteria, making her situation extrely complicated. Additionally, given her already frail constitution, even if she underwent a kidney transplant, the success rate wouldn’t be high. She had to stay in the intensive care unit, fighting for one more day of life, considering every additional day lived as a gain.
Dr. Lu’s moral character might be questionable, but his professional level of disease diagnosis was indisputable. He had been utterly skeptical of Xu Fan’s claim that he could cure Zhou Xiaofu and kept mocking and provoking him.
However, as he carried out several examinations and diagnoses of Zhou Xiaofu thereafter, he had to admit: Xu Fan indeed cured her. Now, she just needed to take good care of her body.
This result completely overturned Dr. Lu’s dical beliefs ford over many years of practice. In his view, this case could even be called a dical miracle.
After the hospital learned about this, the hospital director Kong Zihao led a team of chief physicians and specialists in the field, arriving personally at Zhou Xiaofu’s ward to inquire about her recovery and the curing process.
When Xu Fan brought Tongtong to visit Zhou Xiaofu, it just so happened they ran into a crowd of people standing in Zhou Xiaofu’s ward—all wearing white coats and over the age of fifty, incessantly questioning her.
“Excuse , please make way.”
Xu Fan’s loud voice startled everyone, then he squeezed through with Tongtong in his arms, frowning and saying, “Although the patient has been cured, she is still very weak and should not be disturbed by so many people. Please leave.”
“Who might you be?” Kong Zihao turned around, his eyebrows raised, and with a smile, he asked, “Are you a relative of the patient?”
Upon seeing Xu Fan co in, Zhou Xiaofu imdiately smiled, her spirits visibly lifted.
Xu Fan nodded at her, then responded, “Sowhat. I’m the boss of the patient’s brother, and I’ve been looking after her on his behalf during this ti. You should be aware that the patient needs rest and quiet, so why cram so many people into her room?”
Dr. Lu, as Zhou Xiaofu’s attending physician, was also present in the ward. Seeing Xu Fan arrive, he hurriedly whispered sothing to Kong Zihao.
Instantly, the latter’s expression changed, and the look he gave Xu Fan was different—filled with enthusiasm and excitent. With a beaming smile, he extended his hand to Xu Fan and warmly said, “Mr. Xu, eting you here is truly unexpected. May I get to know you? I am Kong Zihao, the director of this hospital.”
Xu Fan looked at him, adjusting his nearsighted glasses, with a few pimples on his face, and lightly shook his hand, politely saying, “Director Kong, I’ve long admired your work.”
“Mr. Xu, may I confirm if you were the one who cured Zhou Xiaofu?” Kong Zihao couldn’t wait to ask what he was most concerned about.
For a mont, everyone in the ward turned their attention to Xu Fan, and no one spoke.
“Daddy, Tongtong is scared; they’re all looking at Tongtong,” Tongtong said quietly, burying her little head in Xu Fan’s embrace, in a childlike voice.
“Don’t be afraid, they are not bad people.”
Xu Fan pinched Tongtong’s little cheek, then looked at Kong Zihao and candidly admitted, “Yes, seeing that your esteed institution was sowhat helpless, I took it upon myself.”
“Ah… the capable should take charge, no harm done,” Kong Zihao said, a bit embarrassed, but then quickly changed the subject, staring at Xu Fan and saying, “With a single intervention, Mr. Xu, you’ve created a dical miracle. Truly admirable indeed; we are not worthy in comparison.”
Kong Zihao’s words were self-deprecating while he highly praised Xu Fan, making Xu Fan’s ears turn red with embarrassnt. He hurriedly waved his hands, saying, “Director Kong flatters . I only know a little about dical arts, and I rely solely on a set of secret techniques passed down by my ancestors; it’s nothing noteworthy.”
Kong Zihao couldn’t help but have his eyes shine and his heart surge with waves of emotion, harboring a special interest in this secret technique.
After all, this was a technique that could cure a patient of acute kidney failure overnight.
No, it would be more apt to call it divine intervention.
If it were possible to widely promote this technique, wouldn’t it an that kidney failure could be completely eradicated as a disease?
Thinking this, Kong Zihao gritted his teeth and brazenly said, “Mr. Xu, is it possible to promote this secret technique?”
He then explained, “Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Xu, I am purely considering the welfare of kidney failure patients.”
As soon as he had finished speaking, all the doctors in the ward held their breath and looked towards Xu Fan, their eyes filled with expectation.
Xu Fan was sowhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Kong Zihao’s original intention was to cure all patients with kidney failure.
Such a purpose was noble, fully embodying the phrase “benevolence of a doctor,” which towered high above Dr. Lu’s “excessive greed.”
However, Xu Fan still shook his head, not because he was stingy or looking to gain imnse personal benefit.
It was purely because this thod simply could not be disseminated; it required the use of True Qi or Spiritual Energy, and moreover, the practitioner had to have an exquisite and effortless control over them. Thus, even an Ancient Martial Artist at the Grandmaster Realm would find it difficult to achieve.
Xu Fan flatly refused, “I’m sorry, but this secret technique has strict requirents for the practitioner; apart from , it would be hard to find a second person to perform it. Dean Kong, I think it’s best to let go of this idea.”
Kong Zihao nodded with considerable regret. Since it could not be spread, it was useless to insist.
But not everyone is reasonable; so people tend to think of others as having very ugly human nature, just as vile as their own. Take Dr. Lu, for example.
Dr. Lu furrowed his brow, and berated Xu Fan, “Can’t you stop being so selfish? If you could make your secret technique known to all, it would certainly be a great benevolence to thousands of patients. You should understand the risks kidney failure patients take with long-term dialysis treatnt and kidney transplant surgeries, and every year a large number of kidney failure patients die in agony. Do you not have any compassion?”
Xu Fan’s gaze fell on Dr. Lu’s face, carrying a chill.
No sooner had Dr. Lu finished speaking than he realized the temperature around him had plumted, becoming very cold, and he couldn’t help but shiver. For a mont, he was very anxious and quickly hid behind Kong Zihao, shrinking back.
“Zihao, you ntioned earlier that a young girl with kidney failure had recovered. The old man specifically ca to see her today.”
At that mont, a rich and hearty voice suddenly sounded from outside the ward, followed by the entrance of an elder.
Seeing the visitor, Kong Zihao quickly beca solemn and respectfully greeted him, calling out “Teacher,” while Xu Fan was also sowhat surprised and greeted, “Elder Lin.”
This elder was none other than the owner of Yishentang, Lin Yaoshi, followed by a cute and well-behaved girl, his granddaughter Lin Shutong.
Seeing Xu Fan there, Lin Shutong sneakily made a face at Xu Fan, but as soon as she saw Tongtong, she imdiately put on a sunshine-filled happy smile and waved at Tongtong.
Tongtong’s eyes lit up, and she waved her little hand back, giggling foolishly.
“Xu Fan, my friend, didn’t expect to find you here,” said Lin Yaoshi, also quite surprised, and then struck by a thought, he quickly asked, “I guess, you must be the one who cured the young girl’s kidney failure, right?”
“Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Boss Lin,” Xu Fan chuckled. “Zhou Xiaofu is a sister of my subordinate; if I hadn’t cured her, her brother wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his duties, right? Besides, the young girl is quite pitiable.”
Lin Yaoshi was noncommittal about Xu Fan’s reasons, saying sothing so utilitarian in front of Zhou Xiaofu must be because he didn’t want her to carry too heavy a burden, so as to not always feel profoundly indebted.
His expression softened as he let out a breath, saying, “In that case, I’m not surprised at all.”
Lin Yaoshi had been present when Xu Fan expunged evil for Elder Sun, Sun Jin’an, and his eyes had been opened to amazing things. If such miraculous feats were effortlessly within his reach, curing kidney failure must not be too troubleso either.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Kong Zihao imdiately understood that Lin Yaoshi and Xu Fan had long been acquainted, and seed quite familiar with each other.
