Chapter 66 Medical Miracle!
But then she thought of a more practical problem.
“There are many people and gossips at the military hospital. Although Liang Manyun has left, it’s hard to guarantee that there aren’t people who were on good terms with her.”
“Your medical examination report is confidential. If we go through the normal process, it might be leaked, which could cause another uproar.”
Gu Beichen's brows furrowed as well.
Su Yue was right; he couldn't let the rumors hurt her in the slightest.
This matter requires a doctor who is absolutely reliable and of a high enough position to suppress all gossip.
The two discussed whether they should go directly to Political Commissar Zhao and ask him to make arrangements.
Gu Beichen ultimately decided to go to the hospital to check on the situation first.
The two walked out of the family compound side by side, heading towards the military hospital.
On a warm, early autumn afternoon, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew.
However, just as they reached the hospital entrance, a familiar figure came towards them.
The newcomer walked with his hands behind his back, his steps measured and square. He wore an old, faded military uniform, yet it couldn't conceal his composed and extraordinary demeanor.
It was Huo Zhengshan, whom I met on the train that day, the old man Huo.
Old Huo also saw them, and a knowing smile flashed in his cloudy but shrewd eyes.
"What, are you two here for a medical checkup?"
He stopped and jokingly said with a smile.
Gu Beichen had great respect for this senior, so he immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute.
"Old Huo."
He hesitated for a moment, then briefly explained his purpose, saying that he needed to undergo a highly confidential physical examination and it was inconvenient to alarm too many people.
After listening, Old Huo stroked his gray beard and let out a hearty laugh.
"I thought it was something important, but what's so difficult about this?"
With a strong voice, he turned around and shouted in the direction of the hospital's outpatient building.
"Huo Ming, come here right now!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Soon, a young doctor in a white coat walked briskly out of the building.
He was tall and upright with a handsome face, but his expression was too serious. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his gaze behind the lenses revealed a hint of professional scrutiny and aloofness.
"Grandpa, you're running around again."
The young doctor's tone was helpless, but he still stood respectfully next to Old Master Huo.
"Let me introduce you. This is my good-for-nothing grandson, Huo Ming. He was just transferred here from the main hospital in Beijing to be the vice president."
Old Huo pointed to the young man beside him and then spoke to Huo Ming.
"This is Commander Gu Beichen, and this is his wife, Comrade Su Yue. They need to undergo a security check. You will arrange this personally, quickly, and with absolute secrecy."
Huo Ming glanced at Gu Beichen and nodded politely.
When his gaze fell on Su Yue, it lingered for only a moment before he looked away.
Unaware of what was happening, Old Huo added another sentence.
"Commander Gu was a bit weak before, and his wife took care of him with traditional Chinese medicine. You should give him a thorough check-up this time and see how effective it is."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ming's usually expressionless face showed a barely perceptible furrow between his brows.
He looked at Su Yue again, his eyes clearly showing distrust of the "quack doctor's" explanation, and even a hint of slight contempt.
What medical skills would a rich girl from a capitalist family know?
They're just some low-class folk remedies.
However, his good upbringing prevented him from showing his emotions. He simply adjusted his glasses and spoke to Gu Beichen in a businesslike, straightforward tone.
"Come with me."
Huo Ming personally took Gu Beichen to a separate examination room and supervised the entire process, from blood drawing to sample processing, to ensure absolute accuracy and confidentiality.
Su Yue and Old Master Huo waited in the corridor outside.
The distinctive smell of disinfectant, characteristic of hospitals, filled the air. The corridors were deserted, with only the faint hum of the overhead fluorescent lights.
At the end of the corridor, Gu Beichen sat upright on a chair, his hands on his knees, his fists clenched tightly.
Su Yue sat beside him and could feel the stiffness in his body.
She quietly reached out from under the table and took his cold hand in hers.
Gu Beichen's body trembled, and he wrapped her soft little hand tightly in his palm.
Time passed by, second by second.
Half an hour later, the door to the examination room opened.
Huo Ming walked out with a thin lab report in his hand. His gait was somewhat hurried, quite different from his usual calm demeanor.
The expression on his face was extremely strange.
It was a mixture of shock, confusion, and bewilderment at having one's understanding overturned.
He strode up to the two of them, the lab report in his hand crumpled in his hand.
He looked down at the report, then suddenly looked up at Su Yue, his mouth slightly open as if he had something to say, but something seemed to be choking him, preventing him from uttering a single word.
Gu Beichen's heart jumped into his throat.
Only Su Yue remained calm as she looked at him, a hint of understanding in her eyes.
Huo Ming took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm his violently beating heart. He handed the report to Gu Beichen, his voice hoarse.
"See for yourself."
On the report, among the dense data and symbols, the most crucial item was circled in red.
Sperm motility: 10%
It is no longer "seriously low" or "extremely low probability", but a clear, definite number that represents infinite possibilities!
Although there is still a long way to go to reach the normal level, in just over ten days, the situation has changed dramatically, from a near-death experience to a visible glimmer of hope...
Huo Ming muttered to himself, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
"This is not scientific..."
"This is simply a medical miracle!"
He suddenly looked up, no longer hiding the turmoil in his eyes, staring intently at Su Yue as if trying to see through her inside and out.
What method did this woman use?
Before Gu Beichen and Su Yue could react, Huo Ming, holding the report, rushed to Old Master Huo, who was still taking a leisurely stroll, like Columbus discovering a new continent.
"Grandpa, look! Look!"
His voice trembled with excitement as he pointed to the data in the report.
"This...this is impossible! It's only been a few days!"
Old Huo slowly took the report, and his smiling eyes widened instantly when he saw the "10%".
The composure and smile on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a profound shock mirroring that of his grandson.
He suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as two swords, fixed directly on Su Yue.
In those eyes, there was no longer the loving affection of an elder for a younger generation, but the most instinctive inquiry and longing of a top-notch doctor when faced with an incomprehensible miracle.
Old Huo's voice trembled slightly with excitement, even carrying a hint of pleading.
"Girl, could I take a look at your prescription?"
