Masterful Miracle Doctor

In a daze, Lin Jie heard his phone buzzing and ringing incessantly on the nightstand.

Although he didn't want to open his eyes, a sense of responsibility forced him to turn over and pick up the phone.

To Lin Jie's surprise, it was a video call request from Maxwell!

Answering the call and seeing Maxwell's face on the phone screen, Lin Jie said with a frown, "Dr. Maxwell, you'd better have something important to say with this call."

"Ah, I'm so excited that I forgot about the time difference. Dr. Lin Jie, I'm really sorry."

Maxwell apologized without sincerity and excitedly said, "It's a success! The first fully automated surgical device for removing cerebral blood clots has been successfully manufactured."

"Dr. Lin Jie, take a look..."

As the screen shook, Lin Jie's phone displayed a device resembling an MRI scanner.

However, the large scanning port was replaced with something that looked like a motorcycle helmet magnified ten times.

"Dr. Lin Jie..."

On the screen, Maxwell gently stroked the large helmet and said, "Don't be put off by its appearance. Inside are two sets of sophisticated equipment."

"One is a miniaturized seven-axis linkage spherical positioning device."

"This device can position the probe anywhere in the brain with an error margin of 0.05 millimeters."

"It also has a miniature CT scanner that can observe in real-time how the probe penetrates the brain to dissolve the blood clot."

"Moreover, this instrument comes with a life monitoring system."

"If any abnormal bodily values are detected, the surgery is immediately halted, and an alarm is issued."

Lin Jie yawned big and asked, "Sounds impressive, what's the trial situation like?"

Just then, he felt a warmth spread over him.

It was An Kexin, waking up, who had draped the quilt over him.

Lin Jie lay back leaning against the headboard, pulling An Kexin into his arms.

Maxwell's voice came clearly from the phone, "After finalizing this device's form, it has been tested on 21 experimental monkeys, five human specimens, and one volunteer."

"Dr. Lin Jie, the success rate of the trials is 100%!"

Maxwell reappeared on the phone screen, his expression exaggerated as he said, "We finally succeeded, opening a new chapter in medical treatment."

"I'm confident that soon we'll have futuristic scenarios where highly intelligent robots perform various surgeries for humans, as depicted in sci-fi movies."

"After all, robots don't get tired, don't deal with infections, don't make mistakes, and especially, they far surpass us in precision and speed."

Uninterested in Maxwell's vision of a beautiful future, Lin Jie asked, "What's the price of this device? How are the pre-orders going?"

"Our current pricing is $360,000 per unit, and as we move to mass production with technological upgrades, the price will significantly decrease."

"As for pre-orders..."

Maxwell grinned widely and said, "So far, we've already received orders for 83 units."

"The major hospitals in the United States aren't short of money and are always eager to adopt new, high-tech medical equipment."

"Once the first batch of devices is in use and proven effective, other hospitals will quickly follow suit."

"Dr. Lin Jie, give me an address, and I'll send two devices..."

"No rush, no rush..."

Lin Jie stopped him, saying, "Anlin Hospital is still under construction and will officially operate around June or July. Please send them over via international logistics in May."

Such newly developed equipment is likely to encounter a series of unforeseen issues during its initial phase of use.

The later batches will have more bugs fixed, reducing the likelihood of problems.

"Okay, alright. Dr. Lin Jie, I also want to tell you that we plan to name this instrument the 'Lin Jie Treatment Device.'

Lin Jie happily said, "Dr. Maxwell, thank you. It's a huge honor for me..."

After casually chatting a bit more, Lin Jie hung up the call.

Putting down the phone, he looked down to find that An Kexin had already fallen asleep in his arms again.

With a little over an hour till daybreak, Lin Jie held An Kexin like this, closing his eyes...

Opening and closing his eyes felt like traveling through time, as the room was already brightly lit.

Checking the time, it turned out to be nearly 9 AM, and An Kexin was no longer in the room.

Getting up and washing up.

As he exited the bedroom and entered the living room, Lin Miao jumped in front of him, exclaiming, "Brother, Happy New Year! May you have a smooth year and stay healthy!"

Her cheer reminded Lin Jie that today was New Year's Day according to the solar calendar.

He opened his arms to hug Lin Miao, squeezing her tightly, and laughed, "Happy New Year to you too, but there's no red envelope for you!"

Wriggling free from Lin Jie's embrace, Lin Miao wrinkled her nose and declared, "Kexin gave me a big red envelope, so I'm not interested in your small one."

"Brother, go have breakfast, we've all eaten already."

Lin Jie nodded and looked towards the lazily seated An Kexin on the sofa, curiously asking, "Why didn't you go to the office?"

An Kexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's New Year's Day and also the weekend. I'm not a robot; I need some rest too."

Embarrassed, Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Since you're resting today, let's go shopping together after I finish breakfast."

"Sure, sure, let's go shopping together! Brother, hurry up and have breakfast!" Overjoyed, Lin Miao nudged Lin Jie towards the dining room to hurry him along,

Not finding Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lele around, Lin Jie asked, "Miaomiao, where's Xiaoxiao? Did she take Lele for a walk?"

Lin Miao happily replied, "Sister Xiaoxiao went out to buy newspapers."

"We forgot to do that when we came back from exercising this morning."

"Sister Xiaoxiao said today's newspaper has the Hu Family's apology announcement, so she wanted to buy a few copies to keep..."

Lin Jie hadn't finished his breakfast yet when Zhang Xiaoxiao returned.

And she didn't come back alone...

"Teacher, Happy New Year! Wishing you health, a prosperous year, family happiness, and a joyful life in the new year..."

Hearing this sweet and slightly nervous voice, and seeing the shy face flushed and even sweating at the nose tip, along with the large bouquet of flowers in her hand.

Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "Xue Linlin, why are you here?"

Xue Linlin offered the bouquet to Lin Jie, her face excited, and said, "I came to greet you for the New Year, teacher!"

"Yesterday, I received a call from Senior Sister Ma Hongmin and learned that I was finally selected for the thirty-person list. I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night."

"Since today's the Gregorian New Year, I came to you, teacher."

"And also..."

She looked at An Kexin, Lin Miao, and Zhang Xiaoxiao standing aside and respectfully said in turn, "Happy New Year to Mistress, Little Master Aunt, and Big Master Aunt."

"Hehe, I'm a Master Aunt now," Lin Miao said gleefully!

Zhang Xiaoxiao was somewhat unhappy and said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't call me Master Aunt, call me Sister!"

At this moment, An Kexin approached Lin Jie, stood next to him, then took the bouquet of flowers and said with a smile, "This bouquet is beautiful. Thank you so much for coming to wish us a Happy New Year."

"Come, Xue Linlin, let's sit over there, and you can talk to your teacher once he's finished eating."

Xue Linlin quickly glanced at Lin Jie and said, a bit restrained, "I've already given my New Year greetings, so I'll... go back now and not bother you having breakfast."

An Kexin warmly grabbed Xue Linlin's hand and said, "Oh, don't leave just yet."

"Besides, your teacher will surely have some words about your future studies."

"Isn't that right, responsible Teacher Lin?"

Lin Jie felt that there seemed to be more to what An Kexin was saying.

He didn't have time to think more about it, and said to Xue Linlin, "How about you sit for a while, I'll finish eating soon..."

Lin Jie went back to the dining room to eat, and Lin Miao followed along.

She sat down beside him and quietly asked, "Brother, isn't this the student who kissed you and then fainted at the campus book signing event?"

Lin Jie didn't deny it and said, "Yes, it's her."

"Her performance in this interview selection was excellent, so she got into this medical orientation class."

Lin Miao oh-ed and worriedly asked, "Brother, aren't you afraid Sister Kexin will get jealous if you choose her as your student? Aren't you worried Xue Linlin might have other motives towards you?"

Lin Jie reached out and flicked her forehead, saying, "What are you imagining at such a young age?"

"This Xue Linlin has some admiration for me, but it's for my medical skills, not me as a person."

"As for jealousy, Kexin and I have a good relationship, she wouldn't be so shallow as to be jealous of a little girl."

"Besides, I am not someone who is fickle or promiscuous."

Lin Miao rubbed her forehead and angrily said, "And you say I'm young? You're only a few minutes older than me, you know?"

"Brother, don't say I didn't warn you, make sure you keep yourself grounded, don't let success get to your head."

Lin Jie suddenly raised his hand.

Lin Miao quickly protected her forehead, but her nose was flicked instead.

Her nose felt sour, and tears almost came out.

This time, Lin Miao was a little angry, and shouted, "Brother..."

She was about to shout more, but a shrimp was stuffed into her mouth, and she heard Lin Jie say in a deep voice, "Even though I don't know why Mom left us and hasn't been heard from all these years..."

"But being hurt in love by our scumbag father is definitely one of the reasons."

"Miaomiao, you don't need to worry about Kexin and me, I won't become a scumbag."

Lin Miao swallowed the shrimp and softly said, "Oh, I get it..."

After breakfast, Lin Jie called the still excited Xue Linlin into the study for a chat.

In the living room, Lin Miao moved to sit next to An Kexin, linked her arm, and comforted her, "Sister Kexin, you don't need to worry."

"Brother promised me he wouldn't be a scumbag, and your relationship with him won't be influenced by others."

An Kexin just smiled and said, "Miaomiao, you don't need to comfort me, there's nothing for me to worry about!"

"Don't forget that my relationship with your brother has been tested through life and death in the Bamboo Sea of Western Sichuan."

"Besides, little kids like Xue Linlin, Yu Momo, and Zhuang Shilei, even if they're beautiful, Ajie won't be interested in them."

"Why not?" Lin Miao was full of curiosity.

Sitting next to her, Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was reading the newspaper, also leaned toward An Kexin and perked up her ears.

An Kexin confidently hummed, "The reason is simple!"

"Ajie likes me not only because I'm beautiful, elegant, gentle, and charming, with a figure that stands out and beauty combined with wisdom, but also because I can comfort him like a mother."

"That's something a young girl in her teens or twenties can't offer."
