"That’s exactly right!" Yang Chen shook his head and laughed, "It’s so damn right!"
Wei Xueqing was taken aback.
This was the first time she had heard Yang Chen swear.
She saw water constantly streaming down Yang Chen’s face, but she couldn’t tell if it was tears or rain.
"So, my coach died because of me!" Yang Chen took a deep breath, "At that time, I thought the same as you, I felt I had done wrong, everything was wrong, the people around me were wrong, it shouldn’t have been this way. If it weren’t for that, the coach wouldn’t have died! Wrong, wrong, wrong! It was all my fault! So many mistakes! Self-blame, remorse, wondering why it wasn’t me who died."
Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing.
Wei Xueqing saw Yang Chen’s bloodshot eyes and was stunned; she didn’t understand why Yang Chen was in so much pain.
"But precisely because of this, I missed out on a lot." Yang Chen said seriously to Wei Xueqing, "I missed my coach’s funeral, forgot that my coach had an old father, I missed too much. So today, I finally learned that Uncle Zhuo is my coach’s father, and from today on, I will also take good care of him. When family and friends pass away, pain is inevitable, but you must look further ahead. Your father’s whole life has been for you, do not let down his efforts!"
Wei Xueqing suddenly understood, nodding, "Mm! I understand now!"
Yang Chen turned around and saw Ye Xin still holding an umbrella waiting in the distance.
Seeing this, Yang Chen hurried to walk over quickly.
Behind him, Wei Xueqing pouted and couldn’t keep up with Yang Chen’s pace, eventually giving up and staying behind, holding an umbrella and watching the two stand together. She watched as Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin with concern, asking about her wellbeing...
At the First Hospital.
Dr. Chen, the top orthopedics specialist, was very tense.
Usually, any sprain, broken bone, or reattached limb poses no problem for him in surgery.
But today, he was facing a particularly tricky issue.
Just now, a young girl said there was a patient with a broken forearm, and after only seven days, he wanted the cast removed, claiming he was healed.
Isn’t this just causing trouble!
The old saying goes, ’Injuries to the muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal!’ Seven days is only the wound’s initial healing time, not full recovery. A broken bone takes at least three months to heal!
Usually, if he encountered such a patient, he’d have yelled at them to get out long before.
But now, Dr. Chen had a headache.
Initially, it was a little girl who told him.
Soon after, a beautiful woman who claimed to be the president of the Shangdong Group inquired about the situation.
Not long after, yet another person came.
This person he recognized as Zhang Qishan, the chairman of the Zhang Group, who had been treated at the hospital before and was personally attended to by him. This is someone whose mere footstep would make the entire Ningchuan tremble.
Dr. Chen hurried to receive him graciously.
Zhang Qishan said, "Dr. Chen, you are the top expert in Ningchuan. Tell me, could bones possibly heal in just seven days if they’ve only been broken for seven days?"
"Impossible! Certainly not!" Dr. Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.
"But a friend of mine insists that he’s healed and wants to get the cast off after just seven days. When he arrives, please take a good look at him, see what the actual situation is."
"Yes, yes! Of course!" Dr. Chen nodded promptly.
He dared not offend Zhang Qishan; whatever Zhang Qishan said, he could only agree.
He’d heard that the First Hospital might even have shares from the Zhang family!
Even the hospital director would personally receive Zhang Qishan if he visited!
Zhang Qishan reiterated several times, "Make sure you look into it thoroughly. We can’t have any mistakes! Understand?"
He repeated it three times, causing sweat to stream down Dr. Chen’s forehead.
Just after Zhang Qishan left, a robust man nearly 1.8 meters tall walked in.
The chair creaked as the man sat down, and Dr. Chen feared the chair wouldn’t hold up against the man’s stature.
Noticing his face, which had a scar from the right ear to the chin, it was intimidating and gave the impression he wasn’t a good person.
"Doctor, I have something to ask!" Zhao Shisan said in a deep voice.
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Dr. Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and managed a small smile.
Zhao Shisan said solemnly, "My big brother has an arm injury, it’s broken, and in a cast!"
Dr. Chen had an uneasy feeling; the words seemed familiar.
"Please continue," Dr. Chen felt a foreboding rising within.
Zhao Shisan nodded, continuing, "But the injury is only seven days old. You say, in only seven days, could the bone have healed?"
Upon hearing this, cold sweat dripped from Dr. Chen’s forehead.
This situation was identical to what that first young girl and the beauty from Shangdong Group, as well as Zhang Qishan, mentioned!
Dr. Chen wiped his forehead and said, "This... this situation... theoretically... it shouldn’t be healed. Injuries to the bones take a hundred days, bone injuries are different from other places... They heal slowly, not like a pencil cut on your hand, an accidental scratch, or something. Even with those, seven days is just the start of healing; it can’t recover that quickly."
"Oh!" Zhao Shisan nodded, "Well, my big brother insists he’s healed and wants to take the cast off. You think that’s doable?"
Dr. Chen smiled wryly, trembling, "It’s probably best not to remove it because if the bone isn’t healed correctly, it becomes very troublesome, requiring breaking the bone again and reconnecting it..."
"Got it!" Zhao Shisan stood up immediately and instructed Dr. Chen, "Dr. Chen, when my big brother arrives, please explain it to him well, don’t let him take it off!"
"Understood!" Dr. Chen nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Shisan turned and left.
As soon as Zhao Shisan left, Dr. Chen collapsed into the chair.
What kind of person could have the beautiful president of Shangdong Group, the chairman of Zhang Group Zhang Qishan, and such a fearsome man personally come to inquire?
Dr. Chen couldn’t fathom it.
At that moment, sounds came from outside, "Everyone stand by! You two guard the door and let no one in, understand?"
Dr. Chen froze, the commotion suggested someone extraordinary had arrived.
Then the door was pushed open, and a young officer walked in.
Dr. Chen hastily stood up and nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello."
Xiaowang nodded and called back to the outside, "Major, Elder Zhuo, please come in!"
At the mention of "Major," Dr. Chen’s legs started shaking.
He’d never encountered someone of such a high rank before.
And from how this young man spoke, Elder Zhuo’s status seemed even more distinguished!
Sure enough, Dr. Chen immediately saw the young major helping an elderly man into the room.
Dr. Chen hurried away from his desk to attend to Elder Zhuo, but Xiaowang blocked him, "What are you doing!"
Xiaowang guarded Dr. Chen cautiously.
Dr. Chen promptly said, "I just... wanted to feel the pulse of the old gentleman..."
"No need for that!" Elder Zhuo said with a friendly smile, "I’m fine, just came to consult you about something!"
"Oh, oh! Please go ahead!" Dr. Chen respectfully answered.
With a smile, Elder Zhuo asked, "I just want to ask, if a bone is broken, could it heal in seven days?"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen nearly collapsed to the ground.
