Chapter 1176: Removing the Tumor (1)

"But didn’t Doctor Ma say the director had already gone on a business trip?" Shu Jiao pretended to ask innocently.

Doctor Ma nodded, thinking Shu Jiao believed him, and feigned consideration for the patient, saying, "The director is indeed on a business trip, but you can ask the director’s family for help, see if you can find the director. After all, this kind of illness should be treated sooner rather than later."

Shu Jiao nodded, as if she had taken his advice to heart, then glanced at the CT scan in his hand, saying, "Can you give this to me? My hometown is in Beidu, and I have a few friends who also work in hospitals there. I want to ask them to take a look."

As she said this, Shu Jiao appeared to be looking at the photo, but she was actually observing the doctor.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ma indeed became flustered and moved the photo away a little, as if afraid Shu Jiao would snatch it, saying, "This photo cannot be given to the patient’s family, and besides, Beidu is so far away. If you send it, it’ll take at least ten days to half a month to get there. Why bother with such trouble, when you can just find the director nearby."

"What you said makes some sense," Shu Jiao nodded, and then turned to Ruan Jianguo, saying, "Jianguo, my brother happens to be at our house, why don’t we take mom directly to Beidu for treatment? Their medical resources are indeed better."

Ruan Jianguo heard this and was about to speak, but Doctor Ma was even more anxious, "No, family member, why do you insist on taking the longer route. Besides, how can the patient endure such a journey? Traveling by car to Beidu, even a healthy person would be half-dead."

"Really?" Shu Jiao shifted her gaze back at him.

Her gaze was focused and direct. Doctor Ma was already feeling guilty, and being stared at like this made him even more uneasy, but he still maintained a calm appearance, nodded, and said, "I’m a doctor, how could I possibly harm you."

Shu Jiao smiled ambiguously, her smile making Doctor Ma’s heart skip a beat.

Just when Doctor Ma thought she had caught onto something, he heard Shu Jiao say, "Alright, thank you, doctor. We’ll choose a time to visit the director’s house."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ma finally sighed with relief and nodded, "Good, don’t delay. It’s best to address such matters as soon as possible."

Shu Jiao acknowledged, and pulled Ruan Jianguo out of the office.

Ruan Jianguo didn’t understand medicine, but he wasn’t dumb. The nurse’s and doctor’s words already made him suspicious. He hesitantly looked at Shu Jiao, and only when they reached the ward did he ask, "Wife, did the nurse and doctor...?"

"Shh." Shu Jiao blinked, signaling him not to continue speaking. After all, this hospital belonged to the Yuan Family. No one really knew how many informers were here, some matters were safer discussed at home.

She had basically determined in her heart that the Ruanlin Family didn’t really have any illness, at most just didn’t rest well because of Ruan Jiaojiao’s incident a few days ago. After all, considering her age, and being so emotionally stirred by Ruan Jianmin and Wu Le, it’s no wonder she couldn’t handle it.

She walked to the bedside and took the Ruanlin Family’s hand, intentionally speaking loudly, "Mom, don’t worry, I will go to the director’s house. Doctor Ma said the director knows many experts, he will definitely cure you."

And from an unseen angle outside, Shu Jiao blinked vigorously at the Ruanlin Family, giving signal, and lowered her voice, "Mom, don’t worry, you’re fine, but please stay in the hospital for two days. Don’t worry about Jiaojiao, I’ll take care of it."
