Chapter 1014: 993 Kind? Compassionate?

993 Kind? Compassionate?

One hour later.

Zou Jia Hua's complexion was deathly pale, his gaze wandering, as he sat in the ward.

The monitor beeped softly, and the faint light from the screen gave him the illusion of being in hell.

Just now, in broad daylight, I merely dozed off for a moment, and then died again.

How can it be so frequent?!

In the family's records, there is no similar entry.

Zou Jia Hua's father also experienced cardiac arrest after turning forty, but it was not frequent, occurring roughly once every eight months.

But Zou Jia Hua now… it seems that as soon as he falls asleep, before he even enters dreamland, the grim reaper's scythe will suddenly appear from another dimension and reap his life.

In 39 hours, he suffered three cardiac arrests; such a high frequency completely broke Zou Jia Hua's last psychological defense.

When Zou Yu summoned the doctor from the following vehicle to perform 120 Emergency, and his heartbeat returned, Zou Jia Hua's composure and hesitation vanished.

He directly used his connections to be admitted to the special-needs ward 912.

Shou Bing, it's better than waiting to die.

Moreover, now it seems that seeking Doctor Zheng for Shou Bing is the only means; others don't even have a solution.

Shou Bing, we must do Shou Bing, and it's an emergency Shou Bing!

He didn't want to wait, not even a second.

Zou Jia Hua couldn't bear that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would face death.

No one could bear that.

Such frequent death left Zou Jia Hua with no joy in living; the incessant cardiac arrests, yet being revived each time, seemed to satisfy some morbid whim of the grim reaper.

To Zou Jia Hua, everything he had experienced seemed so… fated. Perhaps this is the destiny of the Zou family men.

A knock sounded at the door; Zou Jia Hua shut his eyes tightly, then opened them, striving to look less disheveled.

"Please Come In." Zou Jia Hua said slowly.

The door opened; Zou Yu politely stepped back half a step after opening it, letting the incredibly young doctor enter first.

"Doctor Zheng, Greeting." Zou Jia Hua stood up, smiling as he went to meet him.

At this moment, all composure and dignity must be set aside. Between life and death there is great terror, and when this terror repeatedly descends, nothing matters anymore.

"Mr. Zou, did you have cardiac arrest during the day?" Zheng Ren asked strangely.

Zou Jia Hua nodded.

Zheng Ren also found it strange; the frequency of Mr. Zou's onset seemed too fast. So frequent, he had never seen such a case report in any magazine.

However, this is a rare disease, and no one else has Zou Jia Hua's medical conditions.

After carefully examining Zou Jia Hua's System Panel, the diagnosis remained unchanged—Heart Ion Channel Disease.

Let's give it a try, Zheng Ren thought.

"If it's Shou Bing, Mr. Zou, are you prepared?" Zheng Ren asked.

"On my end, being prepared or not is no longer important." Zou Jia Hua gave a bitter smile.

He stared intently at Zheng Ren's eyes, albeit somewhat rudely and overbearingly, but he wanted to see confidence in Zheng Ren's gaze, even a hint of hope.

However, the longer he looked, the more doubtful he became.

Zheng Ren's gaze was clear; even in his calm, one could faintly see a trace of something—kindness—that did not match his age.

Was it an illusion caused by his excessive Fear? This thought flashed through his mind, and Zou Jia Hua was certain he hadn't mistaken.

Or rather, that gaze was not kindness; describing it as compassion would be more fitting.

Zheng Ren nodded and asked, "Is the fasting water time sufficient?"

"Enough."

"Then let's prepare for Shou Bing." Zheng Ren said calmly.

"Boss, do you know how to use the latest heart pacemaker?" Su Yun's mocking expression made him look like he deserved a beating.

But this time, the one who wanted to beat him was not Zheng Ren, but Zou Yu.

"The latest? Don't we use the hospital's?" Zheng Ren asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course we won't use it; this is a conglomerate, a tycoon—if they're implanting a heart pacemaker, they'd definitely want the latest model, the kind that uses the heartbeat to generate bioelectricity and can last a lifetime, right, Miss Zou?" Su Yun asked.

Zou Yu felt a bit embarrassed.

"The pacemaker is on the plane; it will arrive in four hours." Zou Jia Hua nodded and said.

Zheng Ren felt troubled.

He had performed the surgery to implant a heart pacemaker before, in the System Operating Room; but once they needed to replace it with a new model, they'd have to do it again.

Zheng Ren's remaining Surgical Training Time, after training in the renal artery and renal sympathetic denervation, was barely any, making him increasingly stingy.

But that training still needed to be done; he only hoped the new bioelectric pacemaker wouldn't be too complex, consuming little Surgical Training Time.

Zheng Ren also didn't prepare to test one now, after all he wasn't sure whether Big Pig Trotter would provide the latest bioelectric pacemaker.

If not, then for Zheng Ren it would be a waste.

"Once the pacemaker arrives, we'll do the Shou Bing." Zheng Ren, feeling bored, stood up and said, "I'll first return to the Intervention Department; contact me by phone if there's news."

After saying that, Zheng Ren gave a slight smile, expressed his goodwill, then turned and left.

Zou Jia Hua felt somewhat surprised; he had grown accustomed to the flattery and obedience of those around him. For Zheng Ren's attitude, it was quite unfamiliar to him.

……

"Boss, your pretentiousness is quite practiced." As they walked out of the special-needs ward building, Su Yun said with a chuckle.

"Pretentiousness?" Zheng Ren furrowed his brow, "It seems not."

"For such a tycoon, everyone probably rushes to curry favor. You, however, just leave after speaking."

"Actually, I don't really want to do this Shou Bing." Zheng Ren said: "Moreover, I want to go to the Urology Department to have a look; the Afternoon's matter, I don't know how it turned out."

Speaking of the Urology Department matter, Su Yun fell silent.

How could it be,

What else could it be!

This is a dead knot that cannot be untied by one's own strength; even if Zheng Ren's Shou Bing and diagnosis are superb, one can only stare helplessly.

"By the way, how do the doctors in Xianggang handle pre-operative instructions? Especially for this kind of wealthy patient's pre-operative instructions, are there any special ones? Su Yun, help me inquire." Zheng Ren recalled this matter and habitually handed it over to Su Yun.

"I've already inquired about it; I've already notified Sister Lin, she's found a lawyer to handle the relevant procedures." Su Yun had an expression as if she had known this all along.

"Sister Lin? Lawyer?" Zheng Ren was somewhat surprised.

"Compensation, big brother!" Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren as if looking at an idiot: "For this surgery, people rush to find you to do it. If it fails, the compensation is estimated to be around one million Hong Kong dollars. If it succeeds, then a professional lawyer needs to negotiate."

"Is that so?" Zheng Ren frowned.

"People's lives are worth money." Su Yun said somewhat regretfully: "If we weren't doctors but head-lowering masters, this matter probably couldn't be done without a hundred million."
