The next morning, in Park Cheon's ward, the old man was already awake and sitting up.
In front of Park Cheon was a table with three documents placed on it, waiting for the old man's signature.
Gong Gyechung, Lee Eunjeong, Zhenxiu, Park Jiyeon, and other family members were also present in the ward. Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi had also rushed over early in the morning.
Jane explained the surgery in detail to her two students.
After she was done, Jane said, "President Park Cheon, the three documents in front of you are the consent forms for the surgery, blood transfusion, and anesthesia. Once you've signed them, we can proceed with the surgery. Mr. Gong has already confirmed the liver and heart transplant this morning. "
Park Cheon glanced at Lee Eunjeong in confusion before turning to Jane. "Doctor Jane must be the one to perform the surgery all of a sudden. It must be a difficult surgery."
Lee Eunjeong's face flushed red. Park Cheon's words were clearly implying that his skills were inferior to Jane's.
Jane, on the other hand, flashed a radiant smile that lit up the entire ward.
"That's possible. Otherwise, it's expensive to hire me for surgery. Most rich people wouldn't want to see me." Jane winked.
Park Cheon grinned. "Twenty million pounds isn't a big deal to me."
Jane suddenly shook her head. "It's not twenty million, it's forty million pounds."
"What?!"
Park Jiyeon and the others exclaimed in shock. Even Gong Gyechung and Lee Eunjeong stared at Jane in shock.
Jane said innocently, "The twenty million was for the liver transplant. Now that we've added a heart transplant, the difficulty has increased exponentially. Of course, I have to increase the price."
"You … You're taking advantage of my misfortune!" Park Jiyeon screamed.
"Whatever you say. Just don't go back on your words."
"You …"
Park Cheon gestured for silence with a wave of his hand.
Park Cheon gave Jane a long look and snorted. "Fine, forty million it is. If you're going to charge too low, then I can only say that you're not confident. Since you're willing to charge this much, I believe you have the means.
But I want to know before the surgery. If the operation is successful, how many more years can I live? "
Jane placed her hands on her chest and pondered, "Generally speaking, 80% of heart transplant patients can only live for about two years. But if they manage it well after the surgery and control the rejection of the transplanted heart, it's not a problem for them to live for more than ten years.
If you want to ensure that you can live longer, why don't you ask Mr. Yang Cheng? He should have a way to extend your life.
He doesn't have the ability to save you, but he should be able to let you live for many more years with your organs intact. "
"Mr. Yang?" Park Cheon mumbled to himself as he turned to look at Yang Cheng who was standing by the window.
Yang Cheng smiled innocently and patted his chest. "President, my family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. People in Jianghu call it 'A Match That Won't Fall for Three Nights, Divine Rod Ant Strength Oil Pill'. In the Song Dynasty, the Yang Family relied on this magic medicine to break the Heavenly Gate Array! Practice has shown that it can prolong life and strengthen bones. If the operation is successful, I'll sell you a few pills and you'll be as energetic as you were when you were eighteen years old! "
The bluff name stunned everyone in the room. At the same time, they were impressed by Yang Cheng's fluent Korean!
Lin Ruoxi tugged at her husband's sleeve. "Hubby, what are you talking about?"
Yang Cheng repeated in Mandarin.
"We don't have such things in our house." Lin Ruoxi's eyebrows twitched.
"Little idiot, I've already refined pills, haven't I? I'll sell him two of the lowest quality pills that nourish Qi and he'll have no problem living for another seven to eight years. Earning money is much easier than selling clothes."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes and blew at her fringe, completely losing her temper.
With that settled, Park Cheon took the pen from his bodyguard, Kim Jip, and signed the three agreements solemnly.
Once the signatures were signed, Jane's expression turned solemn. She picked up the agreement and bowed slightly to Park Cheon.
"Thank you for your trust. I promise that I won't let you down. To prevent further complications, the operation will begin at two o 'clock in the afternoon."
Park Cheon nodded. "Thank you."
The atmosphere in the ward was heavy. Everyone's faces were filled with various emotions. The stakes involved in this operation were far beyond anyone's imagination.
After leaving the ward, Park Jonghyun worriedly asked Jane once more, "Doctor Jane, my grandfather … will he be alright?"
No one could doubt Park Jonghyun's sincerity when he looked like he was about to cry.
Jane replied confidently, "I've never failed."
Lee Eunjeong snorted in disdain but was quickly silenced by Gong Gyechung's glare.
After a simple lunch in the hospital, they rested for an hour before Jane gathered the team and headed to the operating room with the two American students, Vincent and Wallen.
Seoul University Medical Center's surgical equipment was world-class. There were no issues. Park Cheon, who was anesthetized, was wheeled into the operating room.
Everyone went to the viewing platform above the operating room. From there, they could see the operation clearly. The operation had attracted many doctors from the university hospital.
Before the operation began, Gong Gyechung made a phone call. After confirming something, he spoke into the microphone in front of him. "The heart for the transplant has been removed. It will be here in an hour. The liver has been delivered. The operation can begin now."
Jane nodded. With a mask on, she said methodically, "According to the plan, Vincent will be in charge of the liver transplant and I will be in charge of the heart. Wallen will be the anesthesiologist and you will be in charge of the surgical invasion. Understood?"
The surgical invasion referred to the physical and mental exhaustion of the patient during the operation. It played an important role in the evaluation of the success of the operation.
Everyone agreed. Most of their eyes were solemn because this was the most difficult operation they had ever faced in their medical careers. It was a surgery that they felt was impossible before it even started!
Even though Jane was the pinnacle of medical expertise in the eyes of this foreign team, they still found it unbelievable.
After confirming, Vincent said, "Begin the live donor liver transplant. Forceps, 60 sutures …"
Jane then said, "Proceed with the heart transplant for dilated myocardium. Scalpel …"
The nurses quickly handed over the tools while the assistant took the forceps and gauze. A desperate counterattack against the Grim Reaper had officially begun!
On the spectator stand, Zhenxiu's face was filled with worry. Seeing that the surgery was proceeding, she could not help but ask Gyechung Gong, "President Gong, why hasn't the heart arrived yet? Shouldn't it have arrived earlier?!"
Lee Eunjeong played the role of a knowledgeable commentator. "Miss Zhenxiu, removing the heart too early will only weaken the heart's function and cause it to die. Therefore, removing the heart now and sending it here to coordinate with the surgery's progress is the most reasonable course of action."
Zhenxiu didn't really understand it, but it made sense.
Yang Cheng frowned. "It can't be … what if the heart can't be sent here?"
Gong Gyechung's face darkened. "Mr. Yang, the Gong family is in charge of transporting the heart and liver. Do you think we can shirk our responsibility if something goes wrong? Even if you doubt our respect and sincerity towards the President, you shouldn't belittle our intelligence. "
Yang Cheng shrugged. Come to think of it, the Gong family would not resort to such a foolish method to harm Park Cheon.
The surgery proceeded as per normal. Jane's speed was exceptionally smooth, causing the surrounding nurses to be dazzled. Lee Eunjeong, Gong Gyechung, and the rest who were watching from the sidelines were all shocked by Jane's performance.
Jane was fully immersed in the surgery. Her hands and movements were swift.
"Bone saw … muscle hook, backhand … harmonic knife … chest opener …"
Each piece of surgical equipment danced in Jane's hands like dancing elves. Every inch of the equipment was perfectly controlled.
Even Vincent, who was performing the liver transplant, was under immense pressure. He was afraid that he would embarrass his teacher.
Just as everyone was watching with bated breath, Jane announced, "Adhesion has been detected. It's extending beyond the apex of the heart to the lateral wall of the heart …"
"What?!"
Lee Eunjeong exclaimed. The other university hospital executives who were observing the surgery also had a grave expression on their faces.
Zhenxiu asked anxiously, "What's going on?! Why is everyone looking like that?! "
