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 patients 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,

Hes been out of the ICU for half a month. His recovery is not bad, but he still needs to recuperate.

Doctor Li, with my fathers current condition, he should be fine after hes discharged from the hospital, right? Liu Jingwei asked.

It shouldnt 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 shouldnt 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. Ive seen your fathers case many times, and Ive also consulted with the directors of other departments, but we dont recommend surgery.

Is it because of the cost? Liu Jingwei said. Thats not a problem. Our familys conditions arent too bad. We can afford a few hundred thousand yuan for the surgery.

Lin Yi glanced at Liu Jingweis 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 wouldnt be a problem for them. They were indeed rather well off.

You misunderstood me. Li Chuhan said.

First of all, the surgery fee isnt as expensive as you think. The reason why I dont recommend the surgery is because your father is too old, which increases the risk. Even if its a conservative estimate, the success rate will still be less than 10%. Its very likely that he wont even make it off the operating table. Therefore, I think its good for you to just maintain his current state. The risk is too great. Theres no need to gamble. Just use these few years to spend more time with your father. Perhaps a miracle will happen and hell end up living longer. There are many examples like this in Huaxia.

After listening to Li Chuhans 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? Its really unnecessary, Li Chuhan said.

Didnt 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. Didnt you hear her? Liu Jingyu said.

Director Li did say that, but how can you guarantee that there wont be any problems in the future? Xie Xiaotong said.

What if theres another accident when we get home? Three to five years is just an estimate. Theres a possibility that he will live longer or shorter than that, so its better to just have the surgery.

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

If he didnt have the system, and if the person lying on the bed was Mother w.a.n.g

He wouldnt have bet on the 10% possibility.

Was this woman crazy?

The risk is too high. I dont agree to the surgery, Liu Jingwei said.

Jingwei! Youre still Dads son! Hes suffering from such a serious illness, and you dont want to treat him? Ive raised you for so many years in vain!

What do you mean wont treat him? Im 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, its very likely that he wont be able to get off the operating table. I dont want to risk it.

I think you just cant bear to spend money. Xie Xiaotong pointed at Liu Jingweis nose and said,

Let me tell you, if you dont treat your fathers illness, youre being unfilial. Its 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 youre going around threatening everyone. This is Old Lius familys business. You have no right to speak!

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

Thats how I talk. Xie Xiaotong said, Im telling you for Dads sake, that he will be able to live a few more years if you do this. If you dont do this surgery for Dad, well 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. Dont go yet. We can talk about it.

Whats there to talk about? Dad is already like this, but you still dont want to do the surgery. Youre really evil. Xie Xiaotong raised her voice.

Anyway, Ive said it here. If you dont do the surgery, well be getting a divorce!

Brother, just get divorced. With our familys conditions, you can find someone better! Liu Jingyu said.

Liu Jingwei, look at what your sister is saying?! Your family members are bullies. I cant live like this anymore!

Sister, dont 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 didnt expect her brother to say such a thing.

Okay, this is your personal business. I wont 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, Ill see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau!

Okay, okay, okay. Dont leave. Ill approve the surgery, Okay?

Thats more like it. Xie Xiaotongs 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. Dont be too optimistic.

It doesnt matter. Even if theres a 1% chance, we still have to give it a try.

Li Chuhan was silent for a moment. Ive already told you all that I needed to say. I also understand your eagerness to save your father. Ill give you an hour to think about this properly. This isnt a small matter. You cant 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 patients familys decision on whether or not to act.

Liu Jingwei nodded. Okay, well consider it

Theres no need to consider it. Weve decided to do the surgery as soon as possible. Its 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 dont have any objections if you want to do the surgery, but I dont 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. Lets 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. Youve 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 wouldnt do it.

Everyone has their own ideas. Lets 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. Its good that he listens to his wife, but he is unable to make his own decisions.

An adopted dog is loyal forever.
