Chapter 681 Dare to Do It?
They didn't believe in Xia Ningxi's abilities, yet they hoped Tang En could give them a very satisfactory answer. However, Tang En said he would have Xia Ningxi participate in the surgery, which they were unwilling to do.
If the outcome of a surgery fraught with uncertainty is unsatisfactory, Xia Ningxi will definitely get into a lot of trouble.
Tang En said to Xia Ningxi, "You've already stopped seeing patients this month, so there's no need for you to take on any new ones. There are many other excellent doctors in the country; they can find other doctors. It's not like you're indispensable."
Tang En said this on purpose, actually hoping to dissuade the Ling family from having them perform the surgery.
Tang En had reviewed Lin Jiangbei's latest examination results. He felt that Xia Ningxi would actually be more suitable to perform the surgery. In fact, if Xia Ningxi were willing to perform the surgery on Lin Jiangbei, they would be extremely grateful, since the expert team invited by the Ling family had been opting for conservative treatment.
However, they were unwilling to let Xia Ningxi come and even questioned her abilities, which made Tang En very unhappy. He also did not want Xia Ningxi to get into trouble.
"Go back and rest first. I'll handle things here." Tang En told Xia Ningxi to leave.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "I'll go first."
Lin Jiangbei watched Xia Ningxi's departing figure, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The expert team continued to discuss treatment plans in the ward, while Xia Ningxi, who had left early, encountered Huo Nanxiao outside the door. She was surprised and looked around. There were no acquaintances, only Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi asked, "You came to see me? Where's Xia Wanwan? Is she also at the hospital?"
Huo Nanxiao was somewhat displeased upon hearing Xia Wanwan's name. His handsome face darkened noticeably. He said, "Send her back. I'm here to meet a client."
"Then you go ahead and do your work, I have other things to do." Xia Ningxi walked quickly and disappeared in no time.
Huo Nanxiao had an indescribable feeling.
The expert team left one after another, and Ling Shuang personally saw them off from the ward. She was surprised to find Huo Nanxiao there as well. "Mr. Huo, what are you doing here?"
"Just passing by," Huo Nanxiao replied. His gaze fell on Lin Jiangbei in the ward, and he asked, "A relative?"
Ling Shuang said, "This is my younger brother. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
“Okay.” Huo Nanxiao did not refuse, walked in, and sat down at Ling Shuang’s invitation.
Lin Jiangbei looked at the man in front of him and seemed somewhat familiar. He stared at Huo Nanxiao for a while, but after being met with a cold gaze from Huo Nanxiao, his mind went blank for a moment: "It's you?"
"You two know each other?" Ling Shuang asked in surprise.
Lin Jiangbei said, "Sis, he's the guy who beat me up on the rooftop before!"
Ling Shuang smiled and said, "So it was President Huo who saved my brother. That's how I found out about this. Thank you so much. If you hadn't stopped him, that kid might be dead by now."
"I wasn't the one who saved him, but Xia Ningxi. She injured her hand while saving him, which forced the postponement of some surgeries," Huo Nanxiao told her.
Ling Shuang felt extremely guilty: "So it was her. I didn't know about this. I even said some unpleasant things just now. I don't know if she will be sad."
"No," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Ling Shuang said, "President Huo seems to know that doctor very well."
“She is very young, but her abilities are no less than anyone else’s. You should know that she recently performed several highly complex surgeries in the capital, and every single one of them was successful,” Huo Nanxiao reminded him.
Ling Shuang said, "We all know that we did investigate her background at the hospital before coming to the capital, and we trust the team behind her. However, I didn't see her age clearly. I thought such an excellent doctor should be older, but I didn't expect her to be so young. We are indeed very worried."
In fact, many people chose to have Xia Ningxi perform the surgery out of desperation. They would not have let such a young doctor perform the surgery on their loved ones if they had any other choice. Subconsciously, everyone believed that older and more experienced doctors would provide more assurance.
The Ling family is wealthy and has many options. They came to the capital only to try and get in touch with Tang En through Xia Ningxi's connections. But Tang En said that Xia Ningxi was more suitable to be the surgeon in Lin Jiangbei's case...
They are definitely not willing.
Ling Shuang said, "We don't dare to let Xia Ningxi perform the surgery for Lin Jiangbei right now. Judging from Tang En's expression today, he doesn't seem willing to let Xia Ningxi do it either."
Lin Jiangbei said, "She had already rejected us once before, saying that there are many doctors in China who can perform my type of surgery, so why don't we look for other doctors?"
Ling Shuang said, "Don't you know your own condition? Now that your condition has deteriorated to this point, other doctors are unwilling to take you on as their patient."
Lin Jiangbei: "Then let's not treat it. I don't care. If I die, I die. It's just one life, it's not a big deal."
"Don't say such discouraging things. We haven't reached the final stage yet, so there's still hope," Ling Shuang comforted him.
Lin Jiangbei said, "There's no need to say such nice things to deceive me at a time like this. I know my own body better than anyone else. You might as well let me know for myself. I don't even know if I'll recover after surgery. I don't want to do it."
Ling Shuang's expression was serious: "You need to think this through. The doctor said your condition can't be delayed any longer. If you miss this opportunity for surgery, you can only have conservative treatment. You know the final outcome without me saying it. Don't you still want to be a big star?"
Lin Jiangbei's resolve wavered. Indeed, he longed to be a big star, but his health condition no longer allowed him to go out and work.
In the end, Lin Jiangbei could only sit on the hospital bed in a sullen mood without making a sound.
Ling Shuang gave him time to consider, and not wanting Huo Nanxiao to see him make a fool of himself, she said to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, let's go out first and let him calm down."
Huo Nanxiao walked out of the ward.
Ling Shuang said, "There's a coffee shop downstairs, Mr. Huo, would you like to have a cup of coffee?"
Huo Nanxiao accepted her invitation.
Ling Shuang said, "Mr. Huo, do you know much about this Dr. Xia?"
“If she is willing to take on this surgery, your chances of success will be higher,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Ling Shuang frowned: "This concerns human lives, and probability cannot guarantee that the surgery will be successful."
Huo Nanxiao said, "It's impossible for a doctor to guarantee that he can cure every patient. They are human, not gods. When you invest, don't you look for an investment with a higher probability of making money?"
Seeing the woman's puzzled face, he repeated, "She's willing to have the surgery that others wouldn't want to do, so it's already the best choice for you."
Ling Shuang suddenly realized: "I understand."
They are actually begging for help right now.
This is no longer a question of money; it's a question of whether others dare to do it.
