Jane was looking at some classical Korean decorations in the house with great interest. Hearing the familiar voice, she also looked over.
Her sapphire blue eyes blinked twice when she saw Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi. She was pleasantly surprised. "Yang Cheng? Miss Lin, why are you here? "
Jane, who was wearing a leather coat, had a curvy figure like a Western woman. Her tall boots covered her slender legs. She looked like a young girl with a hint of enchanting charm. She had an innate elegance and grace, which combined with her perfect face. Many people present were a little breathless.
Park Cheon asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, do you know each other?"
Everyone looked at Yang Cheng in bewilderment. They had never seen Jane before and the sudden appearance of this mysterious Caucasian beauty caught their attention.
Yang Cheng nodded. "She's a friend of mine for many years. I didn't expect to meet her here."
When Jane was in London, she told Yang Cheng that she would be going overseas for surgery. Yang Cheng did not expect to meet her here.
One of the two white men with a beard introduced, "President Park Cheon, this is our mentor, Miss Jane, whom we've specially invited from the Royal Academy of Sciences. She was supposed to arrive a week ago but was delayed due to the need to treat a British admiral who came to seek medical attention."
Everyone was surprised. How could such a young woman be the mentor of these two American doctors?!
Jane, on the other hand, was used to being stared at strangely. Out of respect for the elderly, she gracefully bowed to greet Park Cheon. "Mr. Park Cheon, my students, Vincent and Wallen, have given me your medical records before I came here. I've read through all of them. I just need to examine and analyze them before I can operate on you."
"Surgery?!" Park Jiyeon frowned. "What surgery? Is it for my father's illness?! "
The others were shocked as well. Park Cheon's liver cancer was in the advanced stage. Logically speaking, he had two months left at most and surgery would not help.
But now, Lee Eunjeong, the top surgeon in Korea, and two American doctors had invited the mysterious Doctor Jane to perform the surgery?
Park Cheon gestured for everyone to sit down before he said leisurely, "You must be wondering why an old man like me, who is in the late stages of liver cancer and whose cancer cells have spread, would need to invite President Gong Gyechung, Dr. Vincent, and Dr. Warren to help me invite doctors over."
Everyone fell silent and listened attentively.
Park Cheon grinned as he reached out and patted Zhenxiu's head. Zhenxiu pouted helplessly as if her grandfather had been petting her for a long time. After all, she felt that this was only appropriate for a child, but she was no longer a child.
"I have to admit that I made a mistake. That is … in order to let my precious granddaughter come back, I deliberately asked Vincent and Dr. Warren to exaggerate my condition."
"Ah!?"
Park Jiyeon, Yoo Homyeong, and the others raised their heads in surprise. Park Jonghyun's eyes also revealed a strange look.
Zhenxiu's eyes reddened. She didn't know if she was happy or angry. "Grandfather! How could you do this?! "
Park Cheon laughed heartily. "I'm not too sure about the specifics of my condition. Let Vincent and Dr. Warren explain it to me. In short, I hope that Zhenxiu can come back home because I can't wait any longer. Moreover, I'm not completely cured. So, please forgive an old man like me for wanting to see my granddaughter."
Yang Cheng picked up a crab leg and chewed on it. "I knew it. How could someone of your status be in the stage of incurable liver cancer? There's definitely something fishy going on."
"Are all Hua Xia's people this rude? President Park and the elders haven't moved yet. How can you eat first? "Gong Woo of the Gong family sneered.
Yang Cheng grinned. "I'm hungry and I want to eat. This isn't your house, so why do you care? President Park Cheon hasn't even said anything. Have you heard of the ancient eunuchs of Hua Xia? You're not worried, but the eunuchs are. "
"You …"
"Hey, Gong Woo! Don't be rude to the guests. "Gong Gyechung silenced his son and nodded at Yang Cheng with a friendly smile." You're a guest, please forgive me. "
Park Cheon pretended not to hear him and said to the bearded American doctor, "Dr. Vincent, thank you for coming all the way here to treat me."
"It's only right. President Park has invested in many projects to help our patients. We're just trying our best to repay you. Unfortunately, our skills aren't perfect yet, so we had to shamelessly invite our teacher." Vincent smiled.
"Haha, then please tell us the truth about my condition."
Vincent nodded and explained to everyone, "President Park Cheon's liver cancer has been diagnosed and it's past the stage of removal of cancer cells. The blood vessel scan shows that it has caused cirrhosis. Fortunately, it's not incurable. As long as a liver transplant is performed soon, there shouldn't be any major problems. Otherwise, he'll only have half a year to live. "
"Liver transplant? That's a major surgery … "Park Jonghyun said worriedly.
Zhenxiu couldn't care less that her grandfather was lying to her. Knowing that there was still hope, she asked with anticipation, "Grandfather, hurry up and perform the surgery!"
"Hey, don't worry, child. Didn't we just invite two famous doctors?" Park Cheon smiled kindly. "The reason why I asked both of you to find me famous doctors and the Gong family to find me famous doctors is because I want my surgery to be foolproof. I want a '100%' success rate! So, I want the best doctors to perform the surgery for me! "
Everyone finally understood and marveled at Park Cheon's scheming. He was indeed a scheming man who had been in the business world for decades. He even used his own illness as a tool to tempt his granddaughter to change her mind.
Vincent and Wallen were both experts in hepatectomy and internal medicine who were invited from California in the United States, but they still refused to be at ease. They insisted on inviting the best doctors and chose the most outstanding ones from the best doctors.
Yang Cheng discreetly nudged Lin Ruoxi with his arm and smiled. "Honey, Park Cheon is just like you, a scheming type …"
"Eat your food and shut up." Lin Ruoxi glared at the man coldly.
Gong Gyechung, who was sitting at the head of the table, said confidently, "President, Doctor Lee Eunjeong's liver transplant surgery is well-known throughout the United States. Moreover, he's the best doctor in the Republic of Korea. You can rest assured! Am I right, Doctor Vincent Wallen? "
Vincent and Wallen looked at each other and nodded frankly. Wallen said, "I've heard of Doctor Lee Eunjeong from Harvard University in California. I've also read about you in many magazines. Your thesis is very well written."
"You're flattering me. I've heard of both of you as well. You're both promising young men." Lee Eunjeong was pleased with himself. He then turned to Jane who was looking at the Korean food curiously. "I've heard of Miss Jane's name many times as well. It's a pity that Miss Jane has only taught at Johns Hopkins. If you have the chance to visit Harvard Medical School, we'd welcome you with open arms."
Although Jane was influential all over the world, she was mainly active in the UK. Moreover, she was still very young. Most people would not believe her even if they heard the rumors.
The higher-ups of the world's top medical schools like Harvard, Columbia, and Duke would not buy Jane's story.
These people were all people with unique insights in their respective fields. Naturally, none of them were willing to give in to anyone else.
Moreover, Harvard Medical School often ranked higher than Johns Hopkins in the world.
Therefore, Lee Eunjeong hoped to surpass Jane and seize this opportunity to compete with her. This way, he would be able to step on a giant's head and reach the sky in a single bound!
Although Jane was busy studying the colorful Korean delicacies, she was smart enough to know what Lee Eunjeong was thinking. However, she could not be bothered to compete with him. She chuckled. "I'm a lazy person. I can't even be bothered to go to class, let alone visit."
"Young man, don't get complacent just because of a little fame." Lee Eunjeong reminded him like an elder. Then, he retrieved a stack of documents and scans from his briefcase and smiled. "President Park Cheon, I've looked through all your documents. I don't think it'll be a problem for you to undergo a liver transplant."
