Masterful Miracle Doctor

In the evening, An Kexin returned to Xiangtai Apartment and could clearly feel the heavy atmosphere in the living room.

Especially when she saw the expressionless faces of Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao, which made her heart sink. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you have an argument with Ah Jie?"

"Or is it Ah Jie's..."

An Kexin initially wanted to say, "has health issues," but she couldn't bring herself to say it, fearing it would come true.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Lin Miao understood what she meant.

Her expression turned even more grim, and she said displeased, "Kexin, what nonsense are you thinking? My brother is fine, and we didn't quarrel with him."

"It's mainly because my brother is in a bad mood. He barely ate dinner and has been shutting himself in the study ever since."

So it wasn't the fear in her heart.

An Kexin felt relieved and sat down next to Lin Miao, asking, "Then what happened to make Ah Jie feel so down?"

Sitting diagonally across, Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed, "This afternoon, Ah Jie performed an emergency rescue surgery at the hospital, and the result was not good!"

Upon hearing this news, An Kexin unexpectedly felt a sense of relief.

She couldn't help but muse internally, "Ah Jie's first failed surgery finally arrived."

Having some understanding of a doctor's work, she knew very well.

A seasoned surgeon needs to have several, if not dozens, of human lives on their hands to be called a veteran surgeon.

Lin Jie, crowned as a medical genius and the Child of Miracles, had completed every surgery he took on before today without a single failure.

This was certainly an honor, but it was also a pressure, a heavy one.

As time goes on, this pressure would grow, especially as Lin Jie took on all the highly challenging major surgeries.

When this pressure reaches a certain level, it suffices to influence or change a person's thoughts and actions.

For instance, it might make Lin Jie anxious, unwilling to take on highly complex and risky surgeries to maintain this honor.

Therefore, An Kexin internally did not wish for this pressure to build up too heavily.

She inquired, "Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao, tell me specifically, what surgery did Ah Jie take on today?"

Lin Miao softly replied, "It was a car accident victim, four months pregnant."

"I called the hospital, and they said this person was severely injured, with intracranial bleeding, multiple internal organs bleeding, and several severe fractures."

"They managed to rescue her halfway but realized they couldn't handle it, so they called my brother."

Lin Miao said angrily, "If they had called my brother earlier, maybe the baby could have been saved."

"What? The baby wasn't saved?"

An Kexin caught a point of doubt and asked, "Miaomiao, do you mean just the baby wasn't saved, but they saved the adult?"

Lin Miao nodded, "Yes, the baby is gone."

"The adult is in the ICU, but my brother said there shouldn't be major issues."

An Kexin couldn't help but tap Lin Miao's head with her finger, scolding, "Just from how you and Xiaoxiao were sighing earlier, I thought the surgery failed and the adult wasn't saved."

"Such severe car crash injuries, losing only a four-month-old infant is considered a very successful surgery, don't you think?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao explained, "Kexin, you don't know the specifics. The pregnant woman is really pitiful."

"She also lost her one-year-old son today, and Ah Jie said this woman can never get pregnant again in the future."

An Kexin paused and asked, "That one-year-old child, did he die in the car accident?"

"No, no! Kexin, let me tell you!"

Lin Miao told her the story of how the child's grandmother was so absorbed in playing mahjong that she forgot to take care of the child, resulting in the child's accidental death.

"It was after learning this news that the pregnant woman hurriedly drove home, only to get into an accident on the way."

Upon hearing this, An Kexin got angry and said, "Is this family all brainless?"

"How could they directly inform a mother, especially a pregnant one, of such a thing?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao handed An Kexin a cup of water and said, "Calm down, it isn't as you think."

"Apparently, the child's father had already set off to bring her back himself."

"However, the child's mother saw the news from a colleague's social media circle."

"After confirming it was her neighborhood and her child, she lost it... driving on the highway without wearing a seatbelt, and crashed not long after she hit the road, sigh..."

Hearing the truth, An Kexin sighed deeply and lamented, "Such a tragedy!"

"With something like this happening, the child's grandmother could either live a lone, heartless life."

"Or... "

Or she might take her own life.

Even though the family was strictly watched over, the intense self-blame and guilt...

This extreme negative and self-destructive mental state can have a severe adverse effect on a person's body, causing it to suffer a catastrophic collapse in a relatively short time, ultimately becoming incurable.

An Kexin considered the possible consequences and sighed, "Alas, their family is pretty much broken up."

Lin Miao nodded in agreement, showing a look of regret and sympathy.

The sound of a "bang" shattered the silence and oppression in the living room.

Zhang Xiaoxiao slammed the water cup in her hand onto the table, drawing the attention of An Kexin and Lin Miao.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental. Although this matter is very sympathetic, it's not something we should be focusing on."

She looked at An Kexin and instructed, "Kexin, Ah Jie has been sulking in the study, probably feeling a bit uneasy. Go comfort him and offer some guidance."

"You're the one Ah Jie most likes to listen to..."

A dozen minutes later, An Kexin walked into the study with a bowl of rich, fragrant noodle soup and found Lin Jie studying a set of CT images on the large screen on the wall.

"Ah Jie, I heard you didn't eat much dinner, so I brought you a bowl of noodles," An Kexin said softly.

Lin Jie turned around, sniffed the air, and smiled, "Smelling this aroma truly makes me feel hungry."

He sat back at the desk, brought the noodles closer, took a deep sniff, and praised, "Not bad, not bad. This time, Sister Xiaoxiao's noodles are great, her skills have improved."

An Kexin playfully protested, "Ah Jie, I also had a hand in this bowl of noodles."

"I chose the shrimp, and I washed the vegetables... oh..."

Lin Jie picked up a shrimp and fed it to her, silencing her boasting.

An Kexin gently chewed the shrimp, watching as Lin Jie ate the noodles one bite at a time as usual, without any sign of abnormality.

After considering for a moment, she still decided to advise, "Ah Jie, human power has its limits. That surgery this afternoon..."

Lin Jie looked up at An Kexin and responded with a gentle smile, "You don't need to persuade me, and you don't need to worry about me, I'm fine!"

"The child ultimately couldn't be saved, simply because the pregnant woman's injuries were too severe, and I did my best."

"As a surgeon, I clearly understand that the power of one person is always limited."

"However..."

He sighed softly and said, "This matter has given me a wake-up call, a sober reminder."

Taking another bite of noodles, Lin Jie said slowly, "During this period, especially after the competition with Maxwell, my reputation soared, and faced with everyone's accolades, I found myself getting a bit carried away."

"Even though I understand the principle of the limits of human power, there was always a faint belief that I was the exception, that I was omnipotent."

"But today's surgery, with its harsh reality, made me truly realize this issue. I am still a human, not a god."

"I haven't reached perfection yet; I still need to learn diligently and make progress."

An Kexin's smile spread from her lips and eyes like a blossoming flower.

She patted her small chest with relief and said, "Being able to self-reflect and adjust, Ah Jie, you're truly mature."

"Dad always reminded me to watch over you, fearing that, having become famous at a young age and suddenly wealthy, you might get lost in titles, praise, and enjoyment, losing yourself."

"No one expected that my Ah Jie is indeed an extraordinary genius, not only with exceptional medical skills but also with a remarkable clarity and sensitivity in self-control and emotional management."

These words made Lin Jie feel a bit guilty.

If not for Shen Lanruo's presence in his heart, frequently advising, reprimanding, and even prodding him, Lin Jie suspected his arrogance would have soared to the skies long ago.

While the inheritance of medical skills is undoubtedly important, Shen Lanruo's constant reminders, instructions, and exhortations also played an indispensable role in keeping his inexperienced self from straying onto the wrong path.

Thinking of this, Lin Jie silently murmured in his heart, "Thank you, Sister Lanruo!"

Immediately, a barely detectable soft hum echoed in his mind, serving as her response.

Lin Jie finished the bowl of noodles in just a few bites and asked, "Kexin, have you and Uncle An discussed any strategies regarding the situation at Kangning Hospital?"

An Kexin chuckled, "The simplest response strategy!"

"Father will use his connections to find a few trustworthy patients to go to Kangning Hospital for treatment."

"If Kangning Hospital doesn't seek its own demise, there's nothing we can do to it."

"If they do themselves in, they can't blame us. Once we obtain evidence, we'll deliver a thunderous blow to Kangning Hospital."

She excitedly continued, "Ah Jie, I consulted Dean Gong."

"He told me that this business of counterfeiting imported drugs often exists in some unscrupulous and profit-driven hospitals."

"However, to ensure a certain level of efficacy, hospitals do not entirely fake it; there are typically two situations."

"In one situation, some imported drugs, although expensive, do not have effects significantly superior to similar domestic drugs. The hospital will then repurpose domestic drugs with similar effects, disguise them as imported drugs, and prescribe them to patients."

"The other situation involves taking one imported pill, crushing it, adding some powder, making it into two or three pills, and then selling them to patients."
