Chapter 805 - 804: How Much Does the Miracle Cure Cost?

Chapter 805: Chapter 804: How Much Does the Miracle Cure Cost?

Fu Yu and Shen Yixin went upstairs together to Ya Ling’s office.

Ya Ling, with a smile on her face, invited them to sit on the sofa. She didn’t beat around the bush either, and directly explained to Fu Yu and Shen Yixin the principle of the RE Factor.

"This RE Factor was obtained through connections by Brother Mian and hasn’t been sold on the market yet. To the outside, we simply call it a special medicine. You two, remember to keep it a secret," she said.

Fu Yu and Shen Yixin both nodded in agreement.

"However, as it is the first batch of the special medicine, there are certain surgical risks. The drug might cause adverse reactions with the body, and I have to make that clear in advance," she added.

Fu Yu took it rather well, "I’m already in this state; having a hope of being cured is certainly better than directly removing the eyeball."

He paused, "Even if there’s a risk to my life, I want to try it."

Ya Ling lowered her eyes, somewhat puzzled, "I thought that, after all these years, you would have gotten used to it."

Fu Yu was slightly lost in thought.

Because he still had a wish unfulfilled...

Ya Ling immediately arranged some medical examinations for Fu Yu and asked him to get them done today. As long as his health permitted, the surgery and the ward could be arranged at any time.

Fu Yu nodded, then hesitated for a moment before asking somewhat sheepishly, "Dr. Ya, how much would the total cost of the surgery be? I’ll go get ready."

Ya Ling chuckled.

"Mr. Fu, don’t worry about the cost. Brother Mian has it all arranged," she said.

"Mianmian has it arranged? How can that be? Just the special medicine must cost a lot of money, and she doesn’t have that much..." Fu Yu objected.

Ya Ling smiled slightly.

If the RE Factor truly hit the market, a milliliter might be worth several hundred million, not to mention the research and development costs and patent fees.

Moreover, such a precious medicine couldn’t be bought even if one had the money.

It was only because Brother Mian was so capable that he could get enough RE Factor for Mr. Fu and Yixin’s surgeries.

"Mr. Fu, right now, all you need to do is get your body in the best condition and focus on the surgery. Leave the rest to us," Ya Ling reassured Fu Yu.

Fu Yu felt increasingly unsettled.

If they weren’t willing to tell him, then he would find an opportunity to find out. He couldn’t let Mianmian provide both effort and money, after all.

Ya Ling began to assign medical examinations to Shen Yixin, but before it was settled, urgent footsteps were heard outside the office.

Soon, the door opened, and before the person entered, an excited voice floated in.

"Ya Ling, Brother Qi said the special medicine is ready! We can operate now!" Ye Jinwen burst in while saying, "Aren’t you excited, aren’t you thrilled?!"

The three people in the office were startled by his entrance and didn’t speak.

"Yixin, Mr. Fu, you’re here too," Ye Jinwen realized belatedly, then hurriedly said, "Perfect, I get to tell you this great news at once. The special medicine is ready, you two will be able to have surgery soon!"

"Yixin, your hand has a chance to fully recover! Mr. Fu, you might be regaining your sight soon! Aren’t you happy, aren’t you excited?"

Shen Yixin: ...

Fu Yu: ...

"Why aren’t you all reacting?"

Without any mercy, Ya Ling threw a patient card and a medical record at Ye Jinwen while rolling her eyes, "We already know."

"..."

Ye Jinwen reeled in the smile at the corners of his lips, pointing to himself, "Am I the last one to know again?"

Shen Yixin pursed her lips in a smile, "Probably, maybe, sort of..."

Ye Jinwen’s babyface quickly fell, "Qi Ge really isn’t being fair, I’m going to be mad at him for one whole minute!"

"If you dare, say that to his face," Ya Ling looked at him with disdain, "You go take Mr. Fu for his examination first, then I’ll prescribe a few more tests for Yixin."

Ye Jinwen acknowledged with a sound, took Fu Yu’s medical card and case file, and led Fu Yu out.

After they had gone far, Shen Yixin stood up, walked over to Ya Ling, and asked, "Xi Xi, are the surgical risks for Mr. Fu’s operation very high?"

"To be honest, they’re not small," Ya Ling leaned back against the chair, "The optic nerve is too complex and numerous, and I first have to reconnect his necrotic nerves before I can accurately medicate. Each step is a significant challenge. Plus, the RE Factor is a newly released drug, which I am not very familiar with..."

"Then how about this," Shen Yixin paused, quickly made up her mind, "You operate on me first, let me get used to it, then operate on Mr. Fu."

"Yixin?" Ya Ling raised an eyebrow, looking at her best friend with a half-joking, half-probing tone, "What’s the situation with you two?"

"Nothing’s going on!" Shen Yixin coughed, "I’ve benefited from him, I can’t just do nothing. Besides, if my operation fails, at most I just continue not being able to use my left hand. But Mr. Fu’s eyeball is located in the head, the risk is much higher, a slight carelessness could be life-threatening, I can’t bear to see that..."

Ya Ling got up, moved by the sight of her best friend. Yixin had always been kind and gentle, always thinking of others, even at the cost of sacrificing herself.

"You..." Ya Ling shook her head, "Don’t make it seem like a life-and-death matter. I won’t let anything happen to either of you. But the way you spoke just now was so strange, I almost thought you had fallen for Mr. Fu."

"Xi Xi! Don’t talk nonsense, you know what’s on my mind," Shen Yixin protested.

"Isn’t it Mi Lu? I think, an invisible and intangible ghost composer is less appealing than a real, tangible person at your side. Mr. Fu actually isn’t bad either..."

"Ye Lingxi!"

Shen Yixin was nearly blushing furiously from Ya Ling’s teasing, pretending to be annoyed, "Stop it, I haven’t seen Mi Lu. But at this year’s music festival in August, I might meet him..."

"Really?"

"Yeah. The music festival is one of the most important events in the music industry, held every two years. Mi Lu was busy with personal matters and couldn’t attend the last one, he said if he has the chance he will definitely come. So this music festival, I’ll very likely meet Mi Lu in person."

Ya Ling looked at her shining eyes, shaking her head with a hand to her forehead, "Alright then. You’ll have to take me with you when the time comes, I have to see for myself what this man, who has captured your soul, looks like!"

"You definitely won’t be disappointed!" Shen Yixin was full of confidence.

Ya Ling pushed her to leave the office, "Come on, I’ll accompany you for the tests."

Ophthalmology office.

Du Changyi and the interns had returned from their rounds; he was reviewing a medical case.

An intern knocked and came in, speaking in hushed tones, "Teacher Du, do you remember the patient who had his eyeball removed just now?"

"Fu Yu?"

"Yes, that Mr. Fu. He managed to find the new surgeon upstairs, Ya Ling, to do his surgery, I saw it myself!"

"Ya Ling?" Du Changyi narrowed his eyes, "Is that the surgeon who got in by pulling strings?"

In the hospital, there were quite a few who got their position through connections, but to be directly appointed as a deputy chief physician, especially a young woman who had never been here before, was unprecedented.

Therefore, every move Ya Ling made easily caught people’s attention.
