Chapter 160

Su Yichen brought all the medical records and data of the three American patients for Shi Yi to see.

Shi Yi studied the medical records while receiving her IV drip in the hospital bed, researching for an entire day.

That evening, she finally proposed her treatment suggestions to Su Yichen. She printed out the entire treatment plan, listing it out in great detail, and the plan for each person was different.

Looking at the detailed and specific plan in his hands, Su Yichen was, on one hand, very impressed.

On the other hand, he was very apprehensive.

Because Shi Yi's suggestions were not at all in accordance with the international treatment manual!

There was no basis for it, and it looked very risky.

However, the patients were now in critical condition.

If these three Americans really died in a Chinese hospital, once the news got out, it would not only cause panic throughout society but could even cause a serious diplomatic incident, putting China in an unfavorable position in the entire diplomatic arena.

This result was not something their small Lanwan City People's Hospital could bear.

In the end, Su Yichen decided to take a gamble—treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

He adopted Shi Yi's treatment plan.

Unexpectedly, after just three days, the patients' conditions changed.

First, one man's viral load growth rate was monitored to have slowed down, and a day later, it began to drop.

Immediately after, the viral loads in the two women also began to drop.

Just one week later, the viral loads of the three patients had actually dropped to a controllable range, and they even had their ventilators removed and could breathe on their own!

Seeing this miraculous data, Su Yichen was so excited he was about to go crazy.

He immediately pushed open the door to Shi Yi's ward and came to her bedside.

"Xing'er, how did you do it? This suggestion actually worked!"

His eyes shone with excitement.

"Look, these are the viral data for those three Yankees after being treated according to your suggestions. They are all already below 500 copies, and this plasma RNA load is also within the normal range. In just one week, to achieve such a transformation, I really didn't expect it! Xing'er, you are too amazing!"

Shi Yi looked down at the medical records in Su Yichen's hands and smiled slightly.

"Hmm, it seems they are no longer in danger of dying."

"Next... *cough cough*... just continue according to the international standard treatment plan."

Hearing Shi Yi's sudden coughing, Su Yichen's heart tightened, and he put down the medical records.

"Xing'er, is something uncomfortable? Are you running a fever?"

As he spoke, he nervously raised his hand, wanting to test the temperature of Shi Yi's forehead.

However, the next second, he was dodged by Shi Yi with some disdain.

"Don't touch me."

Su Yichen's fingers stopped in mid-air, his pupils trembling slightly.

"Xing'er, I... I won't hurt you... I just want to care about you..."

"I'm fine."

Shi Yi's voice was cold, carrying an indifference that kept people at a distance.

"Since the three patients are fine, Director Su should go get busy. I'm a bit tired and want to rest..."

Su Yichen's burning heart felt as if it had been doused with a basin of cold water.

In a trance, he seemed to see that girl with curved eyebrows from years ago, acting spoiled in front of him and saying:

"Brother Yichen, don't be angry. Next time, Yi'er will let you win, okay..."

It turned out that for her and him, there was no "next time" long ago.

"Xing'er..."

There was a hint of a sob in Su Yichen's voice.

"Tell me where you are uncomfortable, okay? I... I just want you to not be in so much pain. At least for now, I am still your attending physician, and I have the right to know your condition."

Shi Yi covered her heart and coughed for a while, the coughing causing a misty haze to rise in her eyes.

After a while, she finally calmed her chest and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Heh, what if you know? Can you cure me?"

"You know, I... won't last more than a few years."

Another week later, Shi Yi was finally able to be discharged.

Although her body was severely overdrawn, there were no good treatment methods at the hospital anyway.

Su Yichen had no choice but to agree to her discharge.

On the day of her discharge, Qin Hao Bei came to pick up Shi Yi. As the two just walked out of the ward, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Hao Bei cautiously shielded Xing'er behind him. Turning his head, he saw a strange man hurrying over from the corridor.

"Excuse me, is there something you need?"

The man took a business card from his pocket, handed it over, and said in a humble tone:

"You are Shen Xingyao, right?"

"I am the president of the People's Hospital, Zhong Shu. I heard... that Dr. Su's successful treatment of the three Ebola patients this time had a lot to do with your contribution. On behalf of the hospital, I express my sincere gratitude to you."

Seeing that the president had come in person, Shi Yi couldn't refuse and had to take the business card.

"President Zhong, you are too kind."

Zhong Shu continued cautiously:

"I heard... you are also a doctor?"

"Yes, I am a doctor at the Xiaoman Medical Clinic, a private clinic."

"So it's a private clinic!"

"I wonder if Dr. Shen... is interested in joining our People's Hospital? Of course, you don't need to come to our hospital for consultations regularly; just having your name on the roster is enough! Currently, there are too few experts in treating the Ebola virus, and our hospital only has Dr. Su who can be called an expert. If you could join us, it would be of great help to our treatment and research..."

Shi Yi:...

Qin Hao Bei's face darkened. This president's appetite was too ugly; he was simply pushing his luck!

"President Zhong, is it? My sister helped you treat patients as a favor, and she has already done her utmost. Her own body hasn't recovered yet. My sister is not doing charity work; you should find someone else."

Zhong Shu said in a panic:

"You misunderstood. Our hospital will pay Dr. Shen a salary; all of this is negotiable."

"Negotiate with whoever you like, we are leaving."

Qin Hao Bei said unpleasantly.

Just then, a figure hurried over from not far away—it was Su Yichen.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, Ms. Shen, for causing you trouble."

Su Yichen bowed, panting.

Immediately after, he hurriedly pulled Zhong Shu aside and whispered:

"President, I'm sorry, Ms. Shen's body is really not suitable for working at our hospital. You'd better not think about this matter anymore."

Zhong Shu's face sank, his expression displeased.

"Heh, you're quite thoughtful for her! If I didn't know better, I'd think you liked her!"

Su Yichen looked at Shi Yi's retreating back in the distance, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He said to himself in his heart:

I do like her, very much, very much—I like her so much I'm about to go crazy.

But...

In this life, I will never, ever be able to have her again.
