Chapter 146 Idiopathic Pulmonary Hypertension
After finishing a scene, Chen Li returned to the lounge accompanied by Xiaoyun.
A Pan was answering the phone: "Okay, no problem, I'll tell her..."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Li cast a questioning look at him: "Sister Kuan?"
A Pan nodded and said, "Sister Kuan said there's an A+-level project on a platform looking for you. It's a youth campus drama. The production team said the confirmed male lead is Song Anyu, and he recommended you to play the female lead."
"It just so happens that we've been getting some attention online lately, with a few trending searches and a lot of CP fans. The production team thought that a reunion of you two would naturally attract traffic, so they approached Sister Kuan. Sister Kuan wanted to ask for your opinion."
Chen Li was a little surprised when she heard this: "Song Anyu recommended me?"
Ah Pan nodded: "That's what the production team told Sister Kuan."
Xiaoyun looked at Chen Li with some worry and said, "Ali, I'm still scared when I think about what happened last time. Why don't we just forget it..."
"Is there a script?" Shen Li asked.
"Yes, Sister Kuan sent it to me. I'll print it out for you later." A Pan said.
Chen Li nodded and didn't resist much about this matter. When she acted, she only looked at the script and would take it if she was interested in the role.
What surprised her was that Song Anyu would actually take the initiative to recommend a role to her. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel that he might be feeling guilty about what happened last time, so he did this.
If it's a good role, I will thank him.
The next day, Shen Ci got up early in the morning.
"Why are you up so early? Do you have classes?"
Pili came back from morning exercise and happened to see Shen Ci washing up, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
Gu Lianxing was still sleeping soundly with his head covered.
"I'm going to the hospital to see our counselor."
"That's perfect. I'll go with you. I just happen to have something free to do and go visit my master's wife."
Shen Ci was stunned when he heard this: "A hospital?"
Pili smiled and nodded.
So the two of them packed up and left the dormitory together without calling Gu Lianxing who was sleeping soundly.
When we arrived at the ward, we found that the department head had left last night. There was only a thin but cleanly dressed old lady standing in front of Director Li's bed.
I didn’t see Director Li’s wife.
"Director Li!" Shen Ci called out as soon as he entered the room.
Li Jianguo had already woken up, and when he saw Shen Ci coming, he immediately greeted her with a smile: "Hey Shen Ci, why are you here so early?"
Shen Ci said: "You woke up early, so I thought of buying you some breakfast and sending it over."
She actually didn't trust Director Li's unreliable wife, and she came here early in the morning because she was afraid that no one would take care of Director Li's bedside, but Shen Ci naturally couldn't say this.
But seeing an old lady there, Shen Ci didn't know if it was Director Li's mother or mother-in-law, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello, grandma, I am Teacher Li's student."
"Mom, this is Chen Ci. I fainted suddenly yesterday, and it was thanks to her that she happened to be nearby and took me to the hospital." Li Jianguo hurriedly introduced her to his mother.
Upon hearing this, Mother Li excitedly held Shen Ci's hand and said, "Oh, little girl, thank you so much."
Seeing her genuine gratitude, Shen Ci probably guessed that she was Director Li's mother.
"You're welcome, grandma. It's my duty."
Shen Ci put down the breakfast she bought and asked, "Did the doctor say you can eat? I bought some buns, porridge, and eggs. Would you like to eat some?"
Li Jianguo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Okay, thank you Shen Ci."
"Director Li, please don't be polite with me." Shen Ci said as he opened his breakfast, "I have been under your care since I went to college. Now that you are sick, isn't it my responsibility to do something for you?"
"Are the results out? What's the problem?" Chen Ci asked.
Li Jianguo shook his head: "Not yet, I'm also waiting for news, but I don't feel any discomfort in my body, I should be fine."
Hearing him say this in person, Shen Ci felt relieved.
Until 9:30 in the morning, Director Li's wife did not show up and the doctor did not come.
Mother Li couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said, "Oh, why hasn't the doctor come yet? Can you give me a definite answer as to whether I can be discharged? I'll go ask."
"Mom, stop struggling. This hospital is so big and you can't find your way around. You'll get lost again." Li Jianguo called her worriedly.
Seeing this, Shen Ci looked at the two of them and said, "Then I'll go. The sooner I finish asking, the more at ease I'll feel."
Li Jianguo didn't stop her. After Chen Ci left the ward, Li's mother blamed her son: "Do you think it's appropriate for you to let a student do this? It's really tiring."
Li Jianguo smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. Shen Ci is a very good child."
The old lady sighed and sat back in her chair: "Xiao Lin hasn't shown up yet. After all, they haven't divorced yet. How can this be possible?"
When Liu Xiaolin was suddenly mentioned, the smile on Li Jianguo's face disappeared, but he didn't say much. He just drooped his eyelids dejectedly and fell into silence.
Doctor's office.
"Why are you asking again? Didn't the family members come here just now?"
When the doctor heard that Shen Ci was a family member of Li Jianguo’s patient, he couldn’t help but speak in surprise.
Shen Ci was stunned when he heard this: "Have the family members been here?"
"Yes, his wife was here and just left." The doctor looked at Shen Ci and said.
Shen Ci nodded, and before leaving, she subconsciously asked, "Is he okay?"
The doctor's expression froze, and he actually sighed. Shen Ci immediately became alert: "What's wrong, doctor? Is there any problem?"
"Then I'll say it again." The doctor's expression was extremely serious, and when Shen Ci saw it, her heart beat faster and her scalp went numb.
“It’s idiopathic pulmonary hypertension!”
Shen Ci was stunned: "What?"
She had never heard of the disease.
The doctor explained seriously, "This is a rare disease. It's caused by persistent pulmonary hypertension due to unexplained increased pulmonary vascular resistance. This results in abnormal resting pulmonary artery pressure. His fainting from the severe pain yesterday was caused by this."
Shen Ci didn’t understand the professional explanation at all, but the three words “rare disease” fell clearly into her ears.
How do you get a rare disease?
Rare diseases are almost always incurable. Shen Ci froze, his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were sore.
She asked cautiously, "Doctor, is there a possibility of a cure?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Currently, this disease is primarily treated internationally with medication. Foreign 'specially targeted drugs' can effectively control the condition, but long-term medication can still cause damage to the body. The only cure is a lung transplant."
"Is there a 'lung source'?"
"We have to wait."
Shen Ci left the doctor's office in a daze, her head buzzing. She wanted to find a place to calm down first, but she didn't expect to see Li Jianguo's lover making a phone call inside through the glass outside the door of the emergency passage.
"Oh, if he gets this disease, the daughter will definitely be awarded to me. You raised a son, so why can't I raise a daughter?"
"I want the house. So what if it's his pre-marital property? But doesn't raising a daughter cost money?"
"I know him. He loves Yuanyuan so much, he will definitely leave the house to Yuanyuan."
Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is a disease that cannot be cured in reality. Lung transplantation is a treatment option for late-stage patients, but it only prolongs life.
The settings in the article only serve the plot. I hope everyone is in good health.
I've been really affected by some of the negative comments lately. I'm a bit sensitive, so I'm a bit upset. I'll slowly adjust.
