Tan Xiaoling and Tan Xiaoxiao, who were waiting outside the door, saw their mother being pushed out of the operating room and hurried over to greet her.
Their mother lay quietly on the hospital bed, her face as pale as paper, her eyes tightly closed, as if swallowed by endless darkness. Her entire body was covered in tubes of varying thicknesses, like a dense spider web, tightly connecting her to the cold medical equipment around her.
When the two sisters saw this scene, their hearts felt like being struck by a heavy hammer, and tears immediately streamed down their cheeks. Their emotions were like a flood that broke through a dam, completely out of control.
The two of them rushed forward desperately, tightly holding onto the bed that carried the weight of their mother's life, crying out at the top of their lungs: "Mom! Mom! Please wake up! Don't abandon us..."
The nurse pushing the bed said, "Please move aside. We need to send the patient to the intensive care unit."
When Tan Xiaoling and Tan Xiaoxiao heard the nurse's call, they had to let go of their hands and let the nurse push their mother away. Looking at the nurse's back as she walked away, the two sisters' eyes were filled with tears.
At this moment, Tan Wei had already learned from the doctor about Sitong's operation and was in a very bad mood. Seeing their father's sad mood, the two sisters couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, how is Mom? Is she okay? Was the operation successful?" A series of anxious questions came out of their mouths one after another.
Tan Wei took a deep breath, trying to appear calm. He reached out his hands, gently placed them on his daughters' shoulders, and comforted them, "Don't worry, kids. It's getting late, go back and get some rest! Daddy's here, don't worry. Your mom will be fine, trust me." Even though he said this, his eyes could hardly conceal the deep worry.
After hearing his words, the daughters reluctantly left. Tan Wei looked at his daughters walking away and just sighed...
He seemed to be lost in thought as he recalled something and hurried to the dean's office. When Dean Zhou saw him come in, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Principal Tan, please take a seat."
Tan Wei didn't sit down. Instead, he looked at Dean Zhou with suspicion and said, "Dean Zhou, I heard a piece of news a while ago that a neuropsychiatrist in Hunan Province has cured many difficult and complicated diseases. Do you think this is true?"
Dean Zhou was stunned at first, then he slapped his head and replied as if suddenly enlightened: "Oh! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it! Yes, it seems to be true, but whether it is true or not... I really can't say. After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes."
Tan Wei said, "To know whether it's true or not, just call the hospital over there and ask."
Dean Zhou said, "You are right."
Tan Wei asked, "Do you have the phone number there?"
Dean Zhou thought for a moment, then pulled out a booklet from the drawer, flipped through a few pages, pointed at it, and said, "This is the phone number for the Hunan Provincial Dean's office. I don't know if they have anyone there at this time."
“Give it a try.”
As Tan Wei spoke, he took the booklet, took a look at it, picked up the phone on the table, and quickly dialed a number.
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Tan Wei said, "I'm looking for Dean Bai."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "I am Dean Bai. You are..."
Tan Wei said, "I am Tan Wei from Kyoto University."
Suddenly, a voice full of surprise came from the other end of the phone. The voice sounded extremely excited, as if someone had met the long-awaited idol.
Then, the other party said very politely, "Oh my! It's Principal Tan! I've heard so much about you! You're so famous! I've always wanted to have a chance to chat with you, but the opportunity never comes."
"I didn't expect to be so lucky today to receive a call from you in person! This really makes me overjoyed and excited! By the way, I wonder if you called me today specifically to tell me something important? As long as I can be of use, I will do my best to help you."
Tan Wei got straight to the point: "Well, I won't beat around the bush. I'll tell you straight away. I heard your hospital performed a craniotomy. Is that true?"
Dean Bai on the other end of the phone was visibly excited when he heard him say that. He said, "That's right, and it was very successful. You're asking this, isn't it..."
After hearing the other party's answer, Tan Wei's emotions were instantly ignited, and his heart felt like a blazing fire. He was seen holding the receiver tightly in his hand, which was shaking violently and uncontrollably.
His lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke, "That's great! My wife suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and the bleeding point is in a very bad place. Our hospital doesn't have a specialist in this area. Could you second this doctor to perform the surgery? I wonder if you would agree? Please!"
Dean Bai on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and said, "Principal Tan, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this doctor is not in our hospital!"
When Tan Wei heard this, his heart trembled violently, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and he began to tremble uncontrollably. His eyes widened in shock, and a low cry of surprise escaped him: "What!" Then, a chill ran down his spine and spread rapidly throughout his body.
Beads of sweat the size of beans began to slide uncontrollably from his forehead. He subconsciously reached out to wipe them away, but found that the sweat would never disappear.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious. His hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply dug into his palms, but he himself did not feel the pain at all.
He slowed down, and asked in a hoarse and hurried voice, "Do you... do you know where he is? Tell me quickly!" Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of tension and desire.
Dean Bai on the other end of the phone said in surprise, "What? You don't know where she is? She's in your school. She got in this year!"
Tan Wei was surprised when he heard this: "What did you say? He was admitted to our school, how come I don't know his name?"
Dean Bai let out a hearty laugh from the other end of the phone.
He laughed and said, "Oh my! Your school actually admitted such an outstanding student, and yet you, as the principal, don't even know her name? This is unacceptable! Are you always busy dealing with those tedious administrative matters and becoming a bit of a bureaucrat?"
When he said this, Dean Bai's tone was filled with a hint of ridicule and blame.
Tan Wei didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he urged, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me quickly, what's his name?"
