After taking a sip of tea, Wu Xinqiang put the cup on the table and continued, "Dr. Lingzhen is coming to Beijing to visit relatives soon. I tried to make an appointment for you, and she has agreed to treat you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoying thought she was hallucinating.
She stood up excitedly and looked at Wu Xinqiang. "Professor Wu, what did you say? You said Dr. Lingzhen is willing to treat me? Is that true? You're not lying to me?"
That's Dr. Lingzhen.
A recognized expert in cosmetic surgery, he has repaired countless cases of disfigurement.
If Dr. Lingzhen had agreed to treat her sooner, her face wouldn't still be in such a state of not having recovered by now!
“Of course it’s true!” Wu Xinqiang continued, “Dr. Lingzhen will come to the sanatorium this afternoon to give you a face-to-face consultation.”
Come for a consultation this afternoon!
Hearing this, Xu Ruoying became even more excited, but in her excitement, she remembered something and continued, "By the way, Professor Wu, why have I never heard you mention this before?"
Logically speaking, Wu Xinqiang should have informed her in advance about this, instead of waiting until now.
Wu Xinqiang looked at Xu Ruoying and said earnestly, "I have seen your pain and struggle over the past six months. Ever since I learned that Dr. Lingzhen was coming to Beijing to visit her family, I have been preparing for this. But I was afraid that Dr. Lingzhen would refuse this consultation. I know you can't bear to be disappointed anymore, so I didn't tell you about Dr. Lingzhen's visit to Beijing until we arranged a meeting time. Only then did I dare to tell you this good news."
Upon hearing Wu Xinqiang's explanation, Xu Ruoying nodded and smiled, saying, "I see, Professor Wu, thank you! You've really thought this through very well."
Wu Xinqiang said, "Miss Xu, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
As a doctor, who wouldn't want their patients to recover as soon as possible?
At this point, Wu Xinqiang added, "Ms. Xu, Dr. Lingzhen will arrive at 2 PM. Please get ready; Xiao Zhou and I will be leaving now."
"Okay." Xu Ruoying nodded and saw Wu Xinqiang and his assistant Xiao Zhou to the door.
Xu Ruoying only closed the door after Wu Xinqiang's figure disappeared in front of her.
Once inside the elevator, Xiao Zhou asked curiously, "Professor Wu, why did Dr. Lingzhen suddenly agree to this?"
Just three days ago, Lingzhen had refused Wu Xinqiang's request.
Even Wu Xinqiang himself felt that the matter was hopeless.
Unexpected.
They suddenly agreed today.
Moreover, it was Dr. Lingzhen who took the initiative to contact Wu Xinqiang.
This made Xiao Zhou feel that something was strange.
Wu Xinqiang narrowed his eyes. "Doctors should have a compassionate heart, and Dr. Lingzhen is no exception."
The assistant nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Dr. Lingzhen arrived at the sanatorium on time to give Xu Ruoying a consultation.
Xu Ruoying took off her mask and sat down opposite Dr. Lingzhen with some nervousness.
Dr. Lingzhen looked closely at Xu Ruoying's face, her brows furrowed.
Xu Ruoying was already very nervous, and seeing Dr. Lingzhen's stern face made her even more nervous. "Dr. Lingzhen, is my condition very serious?"
"It's quite serious," Lingzhen nodded. "Although the treatment was timely, all the toxins have settled on her face."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoying's heart skipped a beat. "Then, is there still any hope for me to recover?"
"Yes, it is possible, but the risk is very high. I only have a 50% success rate."
A 50% success rate...
"What risks would there be if the surgery failed?" Xu Ruoying asked.
"If the surgery fails, you will be permanently paralyzed in all four limbs. Therefore, you and your family must sign a risk disclosure form and consent form before the surgery."
Quadriplegia!
Upon hearing this keyword, Xu Ruoying turned pale.
Disfigurement is terrible enough.
She doesn't want to be paralyzed in bed, unable to do anything.
That's terrifying!
Before Xu Ruoying could react, Dr. Lingzhen continued, "But once the surgery is successful and a prosthetic eye is installed, I can guarantee that your appearance will be restored to what it was before the accident."
Can things return to what they were before the accident?
Xu Ruoying's eyes lit up again.
She has been undergoing treatment for half a year, and Wu Xinqiang's response to her has only been to try his best to recover, never saying that she can recover to the same state as before.
This was too tempting for Xu Ruoying.
Xu Ruoying then asked, "When can the surgery be performed?"
“Once you sign the surgical consent form, I can arrange the surgery for you tomorrow morning,” Dr. Lingzhen said, looking at Xu Ruoying. “Also, I’m flying back to R country the day after tomorrow, so please make sure to reply to me before 8 p.m. tonight.”
Xu Ruoying nodded.
Dr. Lingzhen picked up her bag from the table, looked up at Wu Xinqiang, and said, "Professor Wu, I've said what I needed to say. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Wu Xinqiang got up to see Dr. Lingzhen off.
Xu Ruoying sat in the chair, and it took her a long time to react.
Xu Ruoying remained seated in her chair until Wu Xinqiang returned after dropping off Dr. Lingzhen.
Wu Xinqiang broke the silence, "Ms. Xu, what are your thoughts?"
Xu Ruoying shook her head. "I don't know either."
She desperately wanted to undergo surgery to restore her beauty.
But she was also afraid of the consequences.
The thought of a failed surgery and being bedridden forever terrified Xu Ruoying.
Wu Xinqiang smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, I don't think you need to worry too much about this. That's Dr. Lingzhen, a beauty expert! In all my years of practice, I've never heard of a case of a failed surgery by Dr. Lingzhen."
"Since she said there was a 50% success rate, it means that the success rate of this surgery is over 90%. I am also a doctor, and I know that in our line of work, we don't make any overly confident statements before the surgery is successful. Even for an appendectomy, we only have a 90% success rate."
"No doctor would dare to tell you a 100% success rate."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoying's expression changed. Wu Xinqiang was right; doctors always like to leave themselves a way out.
Dr. Lingzhen is so skilled, how could she only have a 50% success rate?
She couldn't let this opportunity slip away!
Thinking of this, Xu Ruoying looked at Wu Xinqiang, "Professor Wu, please help me contact Dr. Lingzhen. I am willing to undergo surgery!"
“Okay.” Wu Xinqiang nodded. “I’ll arrange this for you.”
The following morning.
Xu Ruoying lay on the operating table.
The anesthesiologist is at work. "Ms. Xu, don't be nervous. Close your eyes and get some sleep. When you wake up, you'll see a completely new version of yourself."
Xu Ruoying smiled and nodded, "Okay."
soon.
She will get better soon.
Xu's mother waited anxiously outside the operating room.
Until four hours later.
The operating room door was pushed open.
Dr. Lingzhen came out from inside.
Relieved, Xu's mother immediately went to greet her and asked, "Dr. Lingzhen, did the surgery go smoothly?"
Dr. Lingzhen shook her head. "Mrs. Xu, I'm sorry, the surgery failed."
What?
The surgery failed?
Xu's mother froze on the spot, and it took her several seconds to react before she asked incredulously, "So, so, my daughter will have to spend her days lying in bed from now on?"
Dr. Lingzhen nodded regretfully.
