Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 997 - 961: An Ending

Lin Jie, An Kexin, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, An Kemeng, along with Fang Huanru, Guo Peng, Zeng Yang, and others, stood quietly outside an office guarded by armed police, waiting.Inside this office, Yao Jishun was bidding farewell to Yao Henan.

The faint sound of sobbing came from inside, which made Lin Jie and the others feel heavy-hearted.

At this moment, a man in his forties with a round face and a big belly approached with a smile on his face and said, "Expert Lin, thank you for taking such good care of Nannan."

Lin Jie glanced at him, knowing that this person was Yao Henan's lazy uncle, and didn't want to engage with him.

"This time I saw her, I noticed Nannan has become much more radiant. It seems her injuries have greatly improved."

The round-faced man cautiously asked, "Expert Lin, how long will it be before Nannan can be discharged?"

"When the time comes, I'll come to pick her up. Rest assured, I'll treat her like my own daughter."

Lin Jie furrowed his brow, gave him a glance, and coldly said, "You don't need to worry about what happens after Nannan is discharged."

The round-faced man awkwardly smiled and said, "How can I not worry? I'm her biological uncle, and my mother has always been concerned about her only granddaughter."

"We are Nannan's closest relatives."

Lin Jie merely gave a cold snort and said, "Worry, concern, relatives?"

"Nannan has been hospitalized for so long? How many times have you visited her? As far as I remember, only once, right?"

"Stop with the empty words. If you truly care for Nannan, settle the five to six hundred thousand yuan of treatment expenses I've advanced first."

The round-faced man's face turned ugly and with some shame and annoyance said, "Expert Lin, I know that Nannan's treatment expenses were covered by charitable funds."

"How did it become you're the one advancing payment? You can't bully me because I'm honest."

Lin Jie just sneered, not bothering to respond to him.

On the side, An Kexin gently spoke, "Nannan's uncle, you might not have a clear understanding. Our charitable fund only covered Nannan's surgical fees and her basic treatment costs before and after surgery."

"You shouldn't be unaware that the room Nannan stays in is the highest-grade luxury ward at the Affiliated Hospital, costing thousands each day."

"Moreover, every day there's a professional masseur who massages Nannan's slightly atrophied leg muscles three times a day."

"There are therapists guiding her rehabilitation exercises one-on-one, and a nutritionist arranging her three meals."

"There are even people who take care of her daily living needs 24/7."

"These expenses aren't covered by the charitable fund."

Zhang Xiaoxiao also said disdainfully, "All the expenses on Nannan have receipts. If you don't believe it, you can hire a professional agency to audit it."

The round-faced man's face flushed red with anger, "I'm Nannan's guardian. You're taking advantage of Nannan's innocence to maliciously overspend."

"I do not agree with these expenses, not at all."

Lin Jie said coldly, "You are not yet Nannan's guardian..."

He pointed to the office door and sneered, "Nannan's guardian is still inside. You'll have to wait a bit more to possibly become the guardian."

"But as for the issue of cost, you should think it through carefully."

Lin Jie menacingly threatened, "Once you become the guardian, try shirking the bill, and you'll find out how tough you are. Do I need to remind you of my connections?"

"You... you..."

The round-faced man said angrily, "The court is fair, I'll use legal means..."

Though he spoke indignantly, he retreated step by step.

Throwing out the high medical bill was a reluctant choice.

Lin Jie and others couldn't win the guardianship of Yao Henan, so they used this tactic to make Yao Henan's relatives back off.

During Yao Henan's hospitalization, her uncle, grandmother, cousin aunt, and cousin uncle basically ignored her.

It's evident how much affection these relatives, entitled to guardianship, really had for Yao Henan.

Even today, at such a special moment of farewell, only this round-faced man came.

Lin Jie gestured, called Qin Gang over, and whispered, "Have someone investigate why this uncle, who previously ignored the situation, suddenly wants to take Nannan back!"

Qin Gang nodded, took two steps back, and stood at the end of the line.

At this moment, the office door opened, and Yao Henan, who was seated in a wheelchair, was pushed out by an armed policeman.

Lin Jie and the others immediately stepped forward.

"Uncle..."

Yao Henan, with her face full of tears, looked up at Lin Jie and choked out, "Dad wants to say a few words to you."

Lin Jie took the surgical knife out of his pocket, handed it to An Kexin, and after being frisked by a policeman, entered the office to meet Yao Jishun, who was in handcuffs and shackles.

"The greatest luck of my life was meeting you, Expert Lin, in that hotpot restaurant."

Yao Jishun wiped his reddened eyes and said with a light smile, "With Nannan with you, I feel at ease, truly at ease."

"I can say that even if I hadn't gotten into trouble, Nannan's future with you would be much better, many times better than with me as her father."

Lin Jie shook his head and sighed, "Nannan surely wouldn't think that way. To her, your companionship surpasses everything."

He paused, continuing, "Kexin, Sister Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao, Kemeng, and I will all genuinely care for Nannan."

"In just over a month, she will be able to leave the hospital."

"Complete recovery is challenging, but I can guarantee she will be able to sit, stand, and walk on her own without needing others' care."

"Afterwards, I will arrange for her to study in the United States."

"So you can rest assured about Nannan's future."

At this moment, the armed police monitoring nearby spoke expressionlessly, "Time's up."

Lin Jie understood what this meant, stood up and said, "Nannan's future will be promising, I promise."

Yao Jishun, with tears streaming down, nodded and said, "Expert Lin, I believe! I believe..."

Lin Jie left the office and soon saw Yao Jishun being led out with shackles on his feet, escorted by the armed police.

After leaving the office, Yao Jishun first glanced at everyone, ultimately focusing his gaze on Yao Henan.

His gaze was so greedy, it seemed he wanted to engrain Yao Henan into his eyes.

"Time to go!" the armed police reminded.

Yao Jishun turned his gaze to Lin Jie, Zhang Xiaoxiao, An Kexin, Lin Miao, and the others, suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud facing Lin Jie.

"Thank you! Thank you! I'm entrusting Nannan to you all!"

As he said this, he kowtowed to Lin Jie and the others, then got up to leave.

"Dad, wait! Dad, wait!"

Yao Henan struggled up from the wheelchair, crying out, "Police uncle, please, give me one more minute, just one more minute."

"Please!"

Yao Jishun stopped and turned around, his escort did not urge him on.

Yao Henan grabbed Lin Jie's hand, pleading through tears, "Uncle, I want to walk by my own strength, so Dad won't leave with this last regret."

"Uncle, I can do it, I really can do it."

Zhang Xiaoxiao, with reddened eyes, also looked at Lin Jie and asked, "Ah Jie, is it really okay..."

Lin Jie hesitated for a moment, looking at Yao Henan's tearful eyes, and called out, "Remove Nannan's exoskeleton brace."

With his words, Fang Huanru, Guo Peng, Zeng Yang, and others quickly came to Yao Henan's side and began dismantling the exoskeleton support system on her.

The installation of this equipment was cumbersome; dismantling it was much easier.

In just over a minute, all the supporting components binding Yao Henan were removed.

At this moment, Yao Henan pressed hard on the wheelchair handles to support herself standing.

She first released one hand, then followed with the other.

In this way, Yao Henan stood completamente on the strength of her own legs.

Lin Jie, who was closely watching, noticed that Yao Henan's face turned pale, covered with fine cold sweat, and was about to reach out to support her.

Yao Henan quickly waved her hand, gritting her teeth, and said with a sob, "I can do it, I can do it."

She placed her hands on her legs, looked down at her feet, moved her left foot slightly forward, then her right foot, looked up at Yao Jishun, and smiled, "Dad, look, look, I can walk, I can walk."

Yao Jishun was already choking, unable to speak, biting his lips and nodding continuously.

Suddenly, he abruptly turned and left in big strides.

At this time, Yao Henan seemed to lose all her strength, her body swaying slightly.

Lin Jie reached out and held her.

"I don't have a dad anymore, I don't have a dad anymore..."

Yao Henan leaned in Lin Jie's embrace, endlessly repeating this sentence, crying her heart out...

"Ah Jie, wake up! Ah Jie, wake up..."

Lin Jie opened his eyes and saw An Kexin's fresh, flower-like face, asking, "Is it time?"

"It's almost six-thirty, get up and eat something."

Lin Jie rolled off the office sofa, stretched his body, and asked with concern, "How is Nannan?"

An Kexin sighed lightly, "She's okay, unavoidable sadness, maybe in a few days she will get over it."

"Ah Jie, Nannan's leg?"

Lin Jie shook his head, "I've looked at her scans, there's no major problem."

He oddly felt a sense of relief in his heart and said with emotion, "No matter what, this matter has come to an end."

"Kexin, settle Nannan's going abroad as soon as possible."

An Kexin affirmed, "There's already a lead, once the school is confirmed, we can proceed."

After dinner, Lin Jie went to Elenna's ward, personally did a preoperative checkup on her, and then left her half an hour to be with her family.

Elenna's surgery is scheduled to start at eight o'clock tonight!
