Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1001 - 965: A Simple Thank You

The next morning, Lin Jie habitually reached out next to him and found only emptiness.He opened his eyes and looked around, but couldn't find any sign of An Kexin.

There was no sound coming from the bathroom either, and Lin Jie then remembered that An Kexin had to go to Medical School today for a special recruitment meeting and must have left early.

Lin Jie lazily turned over, feeling quite comfortable.

Suddenly, he didn't want to get up, he just wanted to stay in bed.

The urge to stay in bed became incredibly strong at this moment, and just as he prepared many excuses to deal with Shen Lanruo's urging, the voice of reprimand above his head didn't descend for a long time.

Lin Jie wasn't used to it and was quite puzzled, unable to resist cautiously asking, "Lanruo?"

"What's up?" Shen Lanruo's impatient voice resonated in his mind.

"Lanruo, whenever I laze around in bed, you always criticize and urge me. Why is there no reaction today?"

Immediately, Shen Lanruo's teasing voice echoed, "A Jie, do you have Stockholm Syndrome? I don't nag you, and you feel uncomfortable, right?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Maybe. Lanruo, are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"I'm not urging you to get up because, suddenly, I realized that you, apart from having some passionate moments with Kexin to relax physically and mentally, don't seem to have any other ways to unwind."

"When I was still alive, though work and study were exhausting, I truly let go during leisure times."

"During main holidays, if not renting a yacht to party at the seaside, go to a tropical island for vacation, ski in the mountains, I'd do one or two extreme sports or something."

"Weekends were also filled with gatherings."

"Watching a play, seeing a performance, attending a concert, playing tennis, etc., I could say that every weekend had arranged leisure activities."

"Comparing with you, basically, every day is either performing surgery or preparing for surgery, almost never having a day completely for relaxation."

In his mind, Shen Lanruo's long sigh resonated, "Realizing this, I feel very sympathetic and sorry for you. My heart softened, so I let you relax a bit through this most boring way of staying in bed."

Lin Jie said resentfully, "Lanruo, I'm like this not because you are always urging me to study and work hard, right?"

"Don't blame it on me!"

"A Jie, although I urge you to work hard, I never stopped you from relaxing when you wanted!"

"It's you who doesn't have plans in that aspect."

Lin Jie was taken aback and thought about it, and realized that when he shopped with Kexin and Miaomiao or went to the movies, Shen Lanruo really didn't remind him to manage his time.

As for entertainment and relaxation?

Lin Jie recalled and seemed like apart from watching a movie and frequently playing the saxophone for fun, there wasn't much else...

After trying hard to think it through, he finally said depressingly, "Lanruo, Chinese people aren't as good at having fun as foreigners."

"It's just that you don't know how to have fun, don't blame it on ethnic traits."

Shen Lanruo then earnestly advised, "A Jie, doctors generally face a lot of work pressure, it's important to periodically release accumulated stress through hobbies or activities."

"Your current work isn't busy yet, you haven't developed a sense of burnout."

"However, when Anlin Hospital opens and the workload drastically increases, I'm worried this work-life state could make you feel weary towards work."

"Once that weariness sets in and you lose interest in your work, it's going to be very hard to further improve your medical skills."

Lin Jie asked, "Lanruo, do you have any suggestions?"

"First, effectively separate work and life."

"During holidays and weekends, don't think about anything related to work. Arrange more gatherings, family, outings, entertainment activities, enjoy life more."

"Second, cultivate a hobby that can attract you to immerse entirely."

"Like golf, tennis, saxophone, calligraphy, painting, carpentry, online gaming, anything. As long as this hobby lets you forget about the troubles related to your main job."

Lin Jie responded with an 'oh', saying, "Then I'll choose the saxophone; I practice often!"

In Lin Jie's mind, Shen Lanruo snorted dismissively, "A Jie, your level of hobby is far from adequate."

"Back then, when I played the saxophone, I had a mentor."

"After achieving some success, I formed a small band with some like-minded people. We occasionally performed in bars and parks."

She said with a sense of accomplishment, "A Jie, let me tell you something."

"Once in Paris for vacation, I played the saxophone on the street and earned tips from tourists, spending that vacation without shelling out a penny myself."

Lin Jie thought seriously and realized he couldn't achieve such a level.

He sighed and, feeling touched, said, "Lanruo, I used to count days waiting to die, how would I have thought about cultivating a hobby for fun?"

"After getting healthier and with the skills you taught me, my status and living conditions changed drastically."

"I also understand that medical skills are the foundation to change my fate, so I hold onto them tightly."

At this moment, a gentle sigh from Shen Lanruo echoed again in his mind, "Although there's my urging, I must admit your self-discipline and diligence are exceptionally rare."

"You could say, your level of hard work is only next to mine back then."

Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes and spoke from the heart, "Lanruo, I consider my medical skills my second life. No, it's even more important than my own life."

"They have shaped who I am today and allowed Miaomiao and me to live a life we never dreamed of."

"Lanruo, I think I'll never get tired of being a doctor."

"Never ever..."

Just at this moment, the room door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Miao rushed in, "Bro! Bro! I have something to tell you."

Lin Jie looked at Lin Miao, who was neatly dressed, and asked, "It's Saturday, are you going out so early?"

"Bro, I've decided to go to Putuo Mountain with Uncle An and Kemeng."

Lin Jie asked in confusion, "Didn't you already refuse?"

Lin Miao whispered, "I've thought about it, and sometimes it's better to believe in it."

"After all, the things that happened to you are very miraculous. Also, since wherever you go, something happens, it's best to seek blessings from Buddha for you."

Lin Jie sat up from the bed and asked, "You've only decided now, will you make it in time? Can you get a plane ticket?"

Lin Miao giggled proudly, "The plane ticket is already bought, and the luggage is packed. Uncle An and Kemeng's car will soon be downstairs to pick me up..."

After getting up, dressing, and washing up, Lin Jie held Lele's hand, took Lin Miao downstairs, and watched her leave in the Bentley.

Just as Lin Jie turned to go home, a stylish and elegant Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped in front of him.

Seeing the car window roll down, revealing a familiar face, Lin Jie clicked his tongue and said, "You've become the president of a film company, and you've upgraded your car too?"

Du Feixue got off the car, patted the car roof, and introduced, "Borrowed this car, but if this film is a box office hit, I'd really buy a nice car to treat myself."

She leaned against the car door, beckoning with a teasing finger, "Lin Jie, want to get in the car and go for a ride?"

Lin Jie shook his head, saying, "This car is luxurious but not my type. I prefer cars with a sports feel."

"You borrowed this car…"

He remembered something and asked, "Is today that press conference day?"

Du Feixue stood up straight and nodded, "I borrowed this car to go to the airport to pick up Hu Ge. Today is the big day for signing the contract between both parties."

"Lin Jie, want to come along?"

"The fake Hu Ge you reshaped will also appear at the press conference, a great opportunity to promote your medical skills."

"With my current fame, do I still need promotion?" Lin Jie had a smug look on his face.

Du Feixue made a disgusted face and hurried off in the car.

After breakfast, Lin Jie rushed to the Affiliated Hospital and went to the intensive care unit to check on Elenna's postoperative recovery.

After checking various data, Lin Jie noticed Elenna looking at him.

"You're awake?"

Lin Jie said softly, "Your postoperative recovery is fine, and all monitoring indicators have returned to acceptable ranges. By the day after tomorrow, you'll be able to transfer to your ward to recuperate."

Elenna asked weakly, "Dr. Lin, when will the experimental treatment begin?"

Lin Jie explained, "At least ten days later!"

"The ten-hour open-heart surgery caused considerable trauma, and you're a pregnant woman, needing time to restore your body's vitality."

"Experimental treatment, being experimental implies great uncertainty."

Lin Jie said earnestly, "With better recovery and stronger endurance, you'll provide us more opportunities to correct mistakes and adjust the experiment."

"Elenna, you need to be mentally prepared to be a test subject."

Elenna squeezed out a smile and said softly, "As you Chinese say, my hundred-plus pounds are at your disposal."

She paused and added, "Dr. Lin, thank you!"

Lin Jie was slightly startled and said, "You're a patient, I'm a doctor, and your family is sponsoring a significant research fund for me, no need to thank."

"I do need to thank you."

Elenna looked into Lin Jie's eyes and said, "Dr. Goebbels told me about the difficulty of this surgery."

"My surgery was completed perfectly, yet Dr. Lin, you fainted in the operating room after it was done."

"Considering your physical condition…"

Elenna spoke with gratitude, "Few doctors can push themselves to such lengths for their patients."

"Dr. Lin, this thank you is truly needed…"

Lin Jie had just left the intensive care unit when he received a call from Xiang Rong, "Expert Lin, the child's weight finally reached eight pounds, really not easy."

"You see…"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "Transfer them to the Affiliated Hospital in the next two days!"

"Okay! I'll inform the child's family shortly."

Followed by a tone of envy from Xiang Rong on the phone, "Expert Lin, congratulations! Another paper published in the international top medical journal 'The Lancet'."
