Chapter 651: Tail
That afternoon, Jiang Xiaoxiao went to the hospital to discuss with the doctor and conducted a detailed examination for Feng Chun.
The doctor sat in the office with Jiang Xiaoxiao, his expression grave.
"Look at this image on the X-ray; the tumor in Feng Chun's body has grown again. It's now 3cm larger than when we checked a week ago. If this continues, the situation will be very bad. We must operate as soon as possible.
Considering the current growth rate, Feng Chun is at a high risk of recurrence; her tumor is growing too fast."
The doctor sighed as well; there was nothing they could do about Feng Chun's tumor, although they were confident in curing it at first.
But unexpectedly, the growth rate of Feng Chun's tumor was too fast.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was also helpless.
"Then please arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked out of the doctor's office and went directly to the ward to see Feng Chun, suddenly feeling as if someone was following her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around, and the corridor behind her was crowded with people, as it was Monday, and many people were coming to the hospital.
She scrutinized for a while but no one paid her any attention. It was really strange why she had the feeling that someone was spying on her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao entered the ward. Feng Chun was lying there, talking to Li Guangming.
"The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. What are you two talking about?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed Li Guangming's eyes were red, indicating they were discussing a matter related to their feelings.
"Have a seat, Xiao Xiao. We're just talking about trivial household matters."
Feng Chun gestured for Jiang Xiaoxiao to sit down, and Li Guangming also stood up to offer her a chair.
"Doctor Jiang, you're here. You can chat with the kid's mom for a bit; I'll go out for a smoke."
His voice was slightly choked.
In his haste to leave, Li Guangming rushed out of the ward, and a cry of "ouch" echoed from the corridor.
It seemed someone had fallen.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Doctor, are you hurt?"
Li Guangming's anxious voice apologizing.
Feng Chun was also shocked, quickly getting out of bed, and Jiang Xiaoxiao assisted her as they walked out to see a familiar person.
Fang Xiaohui was just getting up from the floor.
"What's wrong with you, not watching where you walk? It's lucky it was me. If you ran into a patient, you could've seriously injured them with your recklessness."
While scolding Li Guangming, she avoided Jiang Xiaoxiao's gaze.
She glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaoxiao and then turned to leave.
Feng Chun looked curiously at the departing nurse.
"That's Nurse Fang."
An unease settled in Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart, realizing Fang Xiaohui had transferred to the tumor hospital and even became head nurse.
It truly was a small world for enemies.
"Do you know Head Nurse Fang?"
Li Guangming watched Fang Xiaohui leave, losing interest in his smoke.
"I'll go and fill a pot of hot water, you two should go back to the ward."
Feng Chun told Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Head Nurse Fang is a good person. She's quite enthusiastic and often checks in on me."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.
It was really the first time hearing someone say Fang Xiaohui was a good person. With her demeanor, it was surprising she had such a good reputation.
It seemed that Fang Xiaohui knew how to handle her work, showing at least professional ethics in the workplace.
Otherwise, she wouldn't receive such genuine praise from the patients.
However, Jiang Xiaoxiao suspected that the person secretly following her earlier might have been Fang Xiaohui.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
All along, she felt someone was watching her, and as soon as she entered the ward, Li Guangming bumped into Fang Xiaohui. If she wasn't monitoring her, what was she doing?
Could Fang Xiaohui be plotting something bad again?
Truly persistent in being defeated yet persistent in coming back for more.
Not even sure what Fang Xiaohui is after. You'd think by being reborn, she'd just want to live her life peacefully, right?
But instead insists on making trouble with her. In their previous life, there was no such life-or-death struggle, yet in this life, this entangled grudge seems impossible to separate.
Jiang Xiaoxiao decided not to dwell on Fang Xiaohui.
Even if Fang Xiaohui considered her a thorn in her side, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't see her as an opponent.
There was presently no intersection or involvement between the two.
Even if she occasionally encountered Fang Xiaohui while visiting the Song family, it wouldn't cause her any harm.
The one most likely getting hurt was probably Fang Xiaohui herself, still full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
She couldn't resolve that and couldn't possibly avoid Old Mrs. Song and Old Sir Song because of Fang Xiaohui's envy and jealousy, right?
Hiding wasn't an option.
However, the old lady was already planning to buy another house.
This house was going to be a courtyard house, with a location closer to Jiang Xiaoxiao's private hospital, since Jiang Xiaoxiao intended to work there after graduation anyway.
The old lady had long-term plans, thinking once the house was bought, they could easily visit their little great-grandson. Also, if the kids had any issues, they could come back directly to stay.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought this plan was very sensible, especially since the old lady had many acquaintances and a wide social circle.
Under such connections, finding out the low cost of a courtyard house was easy. At this time, a courtyard house was merely a matter of a few thousand bucks.
Jiang Xiaoxiao casually mentioned that if her grandma considered it favorable, it would be best to buy a few adjacent courtyard houses so they could live close by.
She wanted her parents to move over too.
After all, the courtyard house could serve many purposes in the future; they were immensely valuable assets.
Taking advantage of the empty ward, Jiang Xiaoxiao took out a pink pill and handed it to Feng Chun.
This was a recently improved version of peach juice she had researched, as the original peach juice's flavor was too distinct.
The main issue being anyone could immediately tell it was juice by its smell.
Claiming it was an ancestral secret remedy was a bit far-fetched.
After her improvement and concentration, these pills had effects almost identical to those of the peach juice.
They were made in different doses and functionalities according to varied needs.
Initially, she thought using surgery to treat Feng Chun was the best approach. However, once cancer cells spread in this type of cancer, the chance of rescue, even with chemotherapy or radiotherapy later, would still be minimal, and the suffering would be immense.
After verifying Tang Yuan's statement against the doctor's examination, it became apparent that Feng Chun's situation was likely already a spread case.
In just a few days, the spread was this severe.
Jiang Xiaoxiao seriously doubted that even after the surgery, the effect would be minimal, and eventually, pills would still be needed.
Rather than that, she thought it would be better to give her the pill beforehand, mainly because of Bai Yiyi.
However, the pills did not promise to cure all diseases, simply because a so-called cure-all has limits in quantity.
Only when peach juice reached a certain effect would it work.
The pills could only enhance the immune capacity, to make the body stronger, so when Feng Chun underwent surgery and faced chemotherapy and radiotherapy afterward.
A strong physique would allow her to endure to the end.
Of course, after taking this pill, the postoperative recovery function would be noticeably stronger than others.
However, after the pill's improvement, it no longer caused such dramatic reactions.
