Chapter 1012 - 976: A Bunch of Bastards
Friday morning, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.After examining Elenna, Lin Jie said, "Recovering well, slightly better than I anticipated. The child's development is also normal."
Elenna fastened the buttons on her hospital gown and eagerly asked, "Dr. Lin, can we proceed with the experimental therapy?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "You need to recover for a couple more days, get your body in better shape!"
He said this not because Zhou Ziyan's research hadn't achieved any breakthrough progress.
Lin Jie had already screened two from several verified nutritional injectors to use as backup inducers, to test the induction effect.
He further explained, "Elenna, once experimental therapy starts, there might be some adverse reactions, but being in better health won't affect the child's development."
Elenna touched her flat belly, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll follow your advice, Dr. Lin."
She then asked, "Dr. Lin, I've encountered some trouble with my body data, will it affect the experimental treatment?"
Lin Jie couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Elenna's family, except for her mother who stayed behind, returned home on Monday.
Days passed, yet there's still no exact data, Lin Jie guessed there might be some obstacles.
Now getting the exact news, indeed, problems have arisen.
Lin Jie frankly said, "Elenna, without your body data, the impact on your experimental treatment isn't significant."
He pointed to his head, saying, "Your tumor condition is already stored here."
"But…"
Lin Jie straightforwardly said, "Apart from you, this experimental therapy will also involve other tumor patients."
"With your body scan data, by modifying and merging some data based on it, we can generate body data models for others and simulate expected tumor changes."
"Only by collecting many patients' tumor treatment data, can this experimental therapy summarize experiences for broader application."
Lin Jie apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Elenna, asking for your body data has some personal motives."
Elenna smiled sincerely and said, "Dr. Lin, you don't need to apologize."
"Your aim is to refine your experimental therapy, and I will also be a beneficiary."
"Not only me, but countless tumor patients worldwide will also benefit."
"Honestly, out of curiosity, I've read all your published medical papers."
"Even as an outsider, I clearly realize that the methods you described in those papers will surely help many patients."
"Dr. Lin, you are a very kind-hearted, very pure physician."
"Thanks for the compliment!" Lin Jie said somewhat self-consciously.
Elenna sighed lightly and said, "Compared to your purity and selflessness, my father and the University of Gothenburg Hospital, when negotiating, refused to provide the data citing commercial confidentiality."
"My father wants me to inform you, Dr. Lin, that he won't give up and asks for patience…"
Lin Jie then headed to Yao Henan's ward; today was her discharge day.
With the help of an exoskeleton system and a cane to maintain balance, Yao Henan could sit, stand and walk by herself, essentially enabling her to take care of herself.
Thus, she didn't need to stay hospitalized anymore.
However, Yao Henan still needed to come to the hospital once every day for two hours of physical therapy and half an hour of massage.
Upon entering the ward, Lin Jie saw Zhang Xiaoxiao tidying up, having packed two bags already.
Seeing Lin Jie, Yao Henan called out, "Uncle!"
Lin Jie responded softly, smiling, "We can't let you stay in the hospital all the way until you leave the country."
"Home is ready, you and Xiaoxiao will stay in the master bedroom, while Miaomiao temporarily stays in the guest room."
Feeling a bit uneasy, Yao Henan said, "Uncle, this doesn't seem right, I can stay in the guest room."
Lin Jie persuaded, "We're a family now, no need for formalities."
"The master bedroom has a bathroom, more convenient for you. The apartment building is next to Binhai Park; the weather's much warmer now, you can enjoy the green trees and red flowers in the park."
"I'll come home earlier today, we'll have dinner together as a family…"
Back in the office, Lin Jie found old Flavio waiting for him.
Old Flavio handed Lin Jie a bottle of wine, saying, "Dr. Lin, this is world-renowned red wine from Florence, Italy. I hope you like it."
"Thank you!"
Lin Jie accepted the farewell gift.
Today was also young Flavio's discharge day.
He'll continue his recovery in Capital City and receive professional physical therapy and rehabilitation training.
Old Flavio had always been friendly with Lin Jie, whereas young Flavio was rather indifferent towards him.
Lin Jie didn't mind the immature soccer star much.
In the afternoon, Lin Jie took another round in the ward, checking the postoperative recovery of an infant with esophageal atresia and five patients with appendix transplants.
The condition of these patients was satisfactory to Lin Jie; no adverse reactions or symptoms like inflammation had been observed.
Just as he was preparing to call it a day, An Kexin and Du Feixue arrived.
They brought along a middle-aged man with a small ponytail and a moustache.
Upon meeting, Du Feixue enthusiastically introduced, "Lin Jie, let me introduce you to the famous film photographer Kang Rui, who served as the chief photographer for films like 'Catastrophe' and 'The Story of the Hair Salon'."
Lin Jie hadn't really seen either of those films.
Looking at the man in front of him, he couldn't quite understand why some artists always liked to have long hair and beard.
Is this a symbolic style that showcases an artistic identity?
Though puzzled, he maintained a neutral expression and politely said, "Hello, Teacher Kang!"
"Hello, Expert Lin! I've heard of your reputation for quite some time now."
Kang Rui first sized Lin Jie up from head to toe a few times, then circled him twice, saying, "Expert Lin, you're much like President An, both possessing strong professional traits."
"So, my idea is to shoot three themed photo sets."
"One set with Expert Lin's profession as the theme, President An would be dressed as a nurse. Another set would focus on an urban lady theme, highlighting President An's domineering CEO style."
"The third set would be the most common wedding theme."
"What do you two think?"
Lin Jie looked at An Kexin and saw a glint in her eyes, hesitated slightly, and said, "The themes are fine, but Teacher Kang, why does doctor-nurse, domineering CEO themes give me a bit of a sensual feel?"
Kang Rui chuckled and said, "That vibe is somewhat unavoidable. Since you two are married, adding more flirtation and allure enhances the fun, doesn't it?"
"I think Teacher Kang's suggestion is quite good!"
Du Feixue nudged An Kexin with her shoulder and laughed, "You don't need to role-play at all; just be yourselves."
"Come on, don't tell me you haven't privately done some role-playing?"
An Kexin huffed at Du Feixue, "You dumbass, playing ourselves at work isn't fresh!"
"But, choosing these shooting themes, I still agree they're good. A-Jie, what's your thought?"
Lin Jie chuckled, "You're the bride here, your opinion should lead the way!"
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie with a twinkle and said, "In that case, I'll decide."
"Teacher Kang, let's proceed with your ideas!"
The three of them discussed it further, considering time constraints as everyone was busy; the shooting was arranged for tomorrow and the day after.
Tomorrow would involve real scene shooting at the Affiliated Hospital covering the doctor-nurse theme, and in the downtown CBD for the domineering CEO theme.
The day after, they would shift to the studio, using a green background to shoot traditional wedding photos.
In Kang Rui's words, photos shot with a green background can, after post-editing and computer production, appear in any beautiful spot in the world.
Under his treatment, they'd look absolutely realistic, without any detectable flaw.
Regarding the costumes needed for this shoot, Du Feixue promised she'd take full responsibility, so no need for the couple to worry.
After finalizing the details, Du Feixue and Kang Rui left together, while Lin Jie and An Kexin returned to Xiangtai Apartment.
Upon arriving home, they found Yao Henan and Lin Miao happily playing with Lele.
"A-Jie, I told you there's no need to worry, right?"
An Kexin signaled towards the smiling Yao Henan, saying, "Besides Aunt Lu, Nannan has become familiar with everyone here."
"It's just a change of living place, nothing to worry about for her."
Watching Yao Henan caressing Lele's head, looking satisfied, Lin Jie couldn't help recalling what Qin Gang had relayed yesterday about the President of Bowei International School.
That man, overwhelmed with anxiety, claimed to know nothing about his wife's actions, stating it wasn't by his order.
The President also vehemently swore to control his wife, ensuring nothing like that happened again.
Lin Jie, hopeful, said, "I hope Nannan, like me, overcomes the biggest catastrophe in her life and finds smooth sailing and good fortune ahead!"
"She definitely will."
An Kexin hooked her arm around Lin Jie's, softly saying, "Because Nannan encountered you. You're a valuable person to others, with your protection, she'll definitely have clear skies."
She laughed suddenly, "Don't say, A-Jie, you truly are a blessing to others' lives."
"Not discussing our An Family, just count the many people you've interacted with, they've changed and improved a lot because of you."
Lin Jie jokingly said, "The Hu Family certainly wouldn't think so."
An Kexin laughed, "They're your rivals and enemies; they're doomed to bad luck for opposing a blessing."
Not long after dinner, An Kexin pulled Lin Jie to rest.
The reason being they needed to have the fullest enthusiasm and best mental state for tomorrow's wedding photo shoot.
However, once they laid in bed, twisting and turning, after finally falling asleep, they were awakened by a phone call.
Frustrated, Lin Jie answered the call, listened for a few moments, then became furious, "What? Fighting? A brawl? Involved everyone?"
"Are the injuries severe?"
"Damn it, I'm furious, a bunch of reckless idiots, all grown adults now."
