Seeing Li Chuhan come in, the Liu family members stopped quarreling and made way for him.

“Director Li,” Liu Jingwei greeted him with a smile.

“Let me check the patient’s condition first.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Li.”

After giving the patient a simple check-up and looking at the data, Li Chuhan said,

“He’s been out of the ICU for half a month. His recovery is not bad, but he still needs to recuperate.”

“Doctor Li, with my father’s current condition, he should be fine after he’s discharged from the hospital, right?” Liu Jingwei asked.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem, but you have to pay attention to his diet. Exercise should be centred around walking slowly rather than exercising vigorously. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to live healthily for another three to five years,” Li Chuhan said.

Hearing this, the members of the Liu family relaxed a lot.

Their father was already over 70 years old. After experiencing such a big ordeal, they considered it lucky if he could live for another three to five years.

“Department Director Li, if he goes through an operation, will he be even better off?”

Although it was considered enough for him to live to such an old age, as his children, they were all greedy for more.

This was human nature, and anyone would understand.

Li Chuhan pondered for a moment. “I’ve seen your father’s case many times, and I’ve also consulted with the directors of other departments, but we don’t recommend surgery.”

“Is it because of the cost?” Liu Jingwei said. “That’s not a problem. Our family’s conditions aren’t too bad. We can afford a few hundred thousand yuan for the surgery.”

Lin Yi glanced at Liu Jingwei’s Rolex watch and Hermes Belt, and it was clear to her that he was not struggling by any means.

Even if the surgery cost millions, it wouldn’t be a problem for them. They were indeed rather well off.

“You misunderstood me.” Li Chuhan said.

“First of all, the surgery fee isn’t as expensive as you think. The reason why I don’t recommend the surgery is because your father is too old, which increases the risk. Even if it’s a conservative estimate, the success rate will still be less than 10%. It’s very likely that he won’t even make it off the operating table. Therefore, I think it’s good for you to just maintain his current state. The risk is too great. There’s no need to gamble. Just use these few years to spend more time with your father. Perhaps a miracle will happen and he’ll end up living longer. There are many examples like this in Huaxia.”

After listening to Li Chuhan’s explanation, the Liu family members all nodded. They also thought that what Li Chuhan said made sense and they decided to give up on the surgery.

“No, I think we still have to do the surgery!” Xie Xiaotong suddenly said.

“Surgery? It’s really unnecessary,” Li Chuhan said.

“Didn’t you just say that there was a 10% chance of success? We want to try.”

“What are you talking about? Director Li just said that the surgery is too risky. Didn’t you hear her?” Liu Jingyu said.

“Director Li did say that, but how can you guarantee that there won’t be any problems in the future?” Xie Xiaotong said.

“What if there’s another accident when we get home? Three to five years is just an estimate. There’s a possibility that he will live longer or shorter than that, so it’s better to just have the surgery.”

Lin Yi looked at Xie Xiaotong, unable to understand what she was doing.

If he didn’t have the system, and if the person lying on the bed was Mother w.a.n.g…

He wouldn’t have bet on the 10% possibility.

Was this woman crazy?

“The risk is too high. I don’t agree to the surgery,” Liu Jingwei said.

“Jingwei! You’re still Dad’s son! He’s suffering from such a serious illness, and you don’t want to treat him? I’ve raised you for so many years in vain!”

“What do you mean won’t treat him? I’m just afraid because the risk is too great.” Liu Jingwei said, “Just now, Director Li also said that if we go through with the surgery, it’s very likely that he won’t be able to get off the operating table. I don’t want to risk it.”

“I think you just can’t bear to spend money.” Xie Xiaotong pointed at Liu Jingwei’s nose and said,

“Let me tell you, if you don’t treat your father’s illness, you’re being unfilial. It’s meaningless to live with a person like you. We might as well get divorced!”

“Xie Xiaotong, what nonsense are you spouting?! What right do you have to demand the surgery? !”Liu Jingyu said.

“You were married into the family, and now you’re going around threatening everyone. This is Old Liu’s family’s business. You have no right to speak!”

“How can you talk to my sister like that?!” Liu Jingwei said.

“That’s how I talk.” Xie Xiaotong said, “I’m telling you for Dad’s sake, that he will be able to live a few more years if you do this. If you don’t do this surgery for Dad, we’ll have to get a divorce!”

As she said that, Xie Xiaotong took her LV bag and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the situation was going sour, Liu Jingwei went up and pulled Xie Xiaotong. “Don’t go yet. We can talk about it.”

“What’s there to talk about? Dad is already like this, but you still don’t want to do the surgery. You’re really evil.” Xie Xiaotong raised her voice.

“Anyway, I’ve said it here. If you don’t do the surgery, we’ll be getting a divorce!”

“Brother, just get divorced. With our family’s conditions, you can find someone better!” Liu Jingyu said.

“Liu Jingwei, look at what your sister is saying?! Your family members are bullies. I can’t live like this anymore!”

“Sister, don’t say too much. This is our personal business,” Liu Jingwei said in a low voice.

“You!”

Liu Jingyu was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She didn’t expect her brother to say such a thing.

“Okay, this is your personal business. I won’t worry about it anymore!”

Liu Jingyu stormed out of the door in anger, giving Qiao Xin a fright.

“Liu Jingwei, tell me quickly. Are you going to pursue the surgery for dad or not? If not, I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Don’t leave. I’ll approve the surgery, Okay?”

“That’s more like it.” Xie Xiaotong’s expression did a 180. She was a completely different person from before.

“As a child, you must be filial. Otherwise, how can I count on you in this lifetime?”

Liu Jingwei smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Li Chuhan and said,

“Director Li, is the success rate of the surgery really only 10%?”

Li Chuhan nodded. “10% is just a conservative estimate. Don’t be too optimistic.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if there’s a 1% chance, we still have to give it a try.”

Li Chuhan was silent for a moment. “I’ve already told you all that I needed to say. I also understand your eagerness to save your father. I’ll give you an hour to think about this properly. This isn’t a small matter. You can’t be rash.”

It was clear that Li Chuhan did not want them to do the surgery.

However, she was only a doctor. She would still have to listen to the patient’s family’s decision on whether or not to act.

Liu Jingwei nodded. “Okay, we’ll consider it…”

“There’s no need to consider it. We’ve decided to do the surgery as soon as possible. It’s best if we do it now!”

“Are you sure?”

Li Chuhan did not look at Xie Xiaotong. Instead, he looked at Liu Jingwei. He was the son of the patient, so he had the authority to decide on this matter.

“Do it.” Liu Jingwei sighed and said helplessly.

“Alright then.” Li Chuhan said, “I don’t have any objections if you want to do the surgery, but I don’t have time today. The surgery has to be scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.”

“Alright, alright, alright. As long as the surgery is done as soon as possible.”

Li Chuhan nodded. “Let’s go.”

The three of them walked out of the ward together. Li Chuhan said to Qiao Xin,

“Little Qiao, come over this afternoon and give the patient a preoperative check-up. Then, get the necessary agreements signed.”

“Got it, Director Li,” Qiao Xin said.

“But this family is strange. You’ve explained the situation clearly, so why are you still insisting on doing the surgery? If the person lying on the bed were my father, I wouldn’t do it.”

“Everyone has their own ideas. Let’s not make wild guesses and just do our job well.”

“Got it, Director Li.” Qiao Xin curled her lips and said, “But that man is so cowardly. It’s good that he listens to his wife, but he is unable to make his own decisions.”

“An adopted dog is loyal forever.”
