She rushed all the way from her home to Pudong Airport, and after a 12-hour flight, she arrived in London. After that, she had to go to the train station and take a two-hour train to Manchester City. The journey was extremely tiring, but Su Xue didn't have the time to think about it. After she got through to Number Five, she immediately asked the question she was most concerned about.
"Your side …"
"How are things now?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment. After a while, Number Five's voice came again.
"She's a little better than before."
Hearing this, Su Xue let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good. That's good …"
Apart from anything else.
At least, the worst case scenario that she feared the most didn't happen.
But she quickly followed up with another question.
"What's the specifics?"
"Is Steamed Bun's surgery over? Is she awake?"
Before boarding the plane, she had spoken to Number Five on the phone. She knew that the girl's parents had finally made the decision to sign the hospital's agreement and send Steamed Bun back to the operating table for the most important surgery.
But now …
More than ten hours had passed.
What was the result?
Number Five quickly replied, "Well, according to the doctor, the surgery went well. Now we just have to see when Steamed Bun will wake up."
The surgery went well?
Su Xue was overjoyed to hear this. Even though she was still on the crowded shuttle bus, she couldn't help but jump up and down with joy.
"That's great!"
"Wow, the big hospitals in England are really different. They're really good!"
"I can rest assured now! That's great! "
"So Steamed Bun's illness is cured, right?"
At this moment, Su Xue's heart was filled with surprise. She hadn't been able to get a good rest on the way to London due to her nervousness and worry. She was afraid that she'd hear the bad news as soon as she landed.
But now …
This was the perfect result, wasn't it?!
If Lin Feng found out about it, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else!
But the next moment, Number Five's voice came again. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on the excited Su Xue.
"It's not that optimistic yet."
"The doctor said … although the surgery was successful, it can't be considered a true success."
"We've only managed to alleviate Steamed Bun's condition this time, allowing her to escape from her most dangerous state. But if we're talking about a complete cure … it's still far from complete."
"Huh?" Su Xue was dumbfounded.
But the next moment, she reacted and immediately became anxious. "What do you mean? Not cured? Didn't they say that this surgery was very risky and that they used some kind of new technology and medicine to completely cure Ossen Moore's disease? "
Orson Moore.
It was a rather obscure professional pathology term that was hard to remember.
But when Su Xue heard it from Number Five for the first time, she forcefully committed the words to memory. She searched for information on the internet in an attempt to understand this illness, but the information she found was few and far between, and the few lines of introduction were enough to shock her.
Ossen Moor, a variant of ALS (Sclerosis). The probability of it appearing in conventional ALS patients was less than 0.3%. There were no cases of recovery.
For the time being, no, cure, illness, case.
Just the last six words.
It was enough to instantly make people feel hopeless.
As for Su Xue, when she heard over the phone that the latest surgery might be able to cure the girl completely, she was filled with excitement and hope. But at this moment …
That little bit of hope was instantly and mercilessly shattered.
"What the hell!!" At this moment, Su Xue was almost flustered. A second ago, she was full of praise for St. Edin Hospital, but the next second, her attitude changed 360 degrees. "What kind of lousy hospital is this? Are they all bullsh * tting? If you can't do it, just say it. Didn't you let Steamed Bun take such a huge risk for nothing?"
On the other end of the phone, Number Five couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"You can't blame the hospital. They've already done their best. Plus … they said that there was only a small hope of a complete cure in this surgery. They didn't give any more guarantees."
Of course, that was the logic.
But Su Xue still couldn't help but feel upset. "But when will this end … Oh right, how is Steamed Bun now? At least she's out of danger, right?"
Number Five grunted and said, "Steamed Bun woke up once during the surgery."
Huh?
Su Xue finally perked up and her attention was diverted. She anxiously asked, "And then? Is she okay? Did she say anything? "
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Number Five's voice rang out again.
"When she woke up, she only said one thing …"
At this point, she paused again. On the other end of the phone, Su Xue's heart subconsciously tightened, as if she had already guessed the answer.
"She said, 'Don't let him know.'"
The connecting bus was still driving on the tarmac. After passing through the bumpy road, it was a little shaky. The passengers in the bus grumbled and it was a little noisy.
For Su Xue, the moment she heard the girl's words from Number Five, it was as if the whole world had fallen silent for a moment.
All that was left was the words that lingered in her ears.
Don't let him know.
It was a sentence that came out of nowhere. She could imagine the scene on the operating table. The girl who was still in danger lay on the operating table, her face pale and bloodless. She forced her eyes open and tried her best to use a weak voice to say those words. Then, she might have fainted again.
The "him" in those words.
Of course, there couldn't be anyone else.
Su Xue's eyes were a little red. She tried her best to sniff and calm herself down. She forced a smile and said,
"Fortunately … even if Lin Feng sensed something, at least we haven't let him know the truth yet. Then Steamed Bun should be able to relax a little …"
However, the next moment, Number Five's voice rang out again. This time, it was as if he had delivered another piece of bad news.
"I didn't have time to tell you on the plane."
"But I heard from Fang Nan that Lin Feng is already applying for an urgent visa."
"Maybe …"
"He'll be here as soon as tomorrow."
What!?
For a moment, Su Xue was completely dumbfounded. She completely forgot that there was a bunch of passengers beside her. She exclaimed, "He, he's coming too?!"
On the other end of the phone, Number Five smiled bitterly.
"Based on Lin Feng's personality … if he sensed something wrong, he would definitely do something like this."
It seemed …
That was really the case.
It only took Su Xue a second or two to immediately realize the truth of this truth. Then, she was at a loss, "Then … what should we do now?"
Everyone, including her, tried their best to keep the truth a secret from a certain someone. But in the end … a certain someone didn't care at all and directly came to Manchester City.
It was really the simplest, most direct, and most effective way in fact.
Number Five could not answer this question either. He just said,
"You come over first. We'll discuss it when we meet."
"In short …"
"The most urgent thing now is to hope that Steamed Bun can wake up soon."
