"Our Heidelberg Affiliated Hospital Special Research Center was established 15 years ago.
"It's also the first high-end research center in Europe and the world that specializes in ALS.
"The people gathered here are the top experts, scholars, and doctors from all over Europe who have done the most in-depth research on ALS. Every one of them has at least five years of experience in the field of ALS research, and the longest has even reached 18 years.
"The number of cases of ALS that we have collected is also the most complete in the world.
"The cure rate for ordinary ALS is the highest in Europe and the third in the world.
"In particular, the research on the ALS variant, Ossen Moore, is unique in the world.
"I remember there's a guy named Shawn in the St. Edinburg Hospital in Manchester that you asked for help before. Hmph, with that level of skill, he's only fit to be an attending physician in St. Edinburg Hospital. Here, he's not even qualified to be an assistant to our attending physician team!
"Those British guys dare to use the name of the ALS special research center? They're just bluffing —
"They don't deserve to be compared to us at all."
No.1, No.5, and Anxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they listened to Howard's long-winded speech.
The chief physician of the Heidelberg Special Research Center did not hide his contempt for his colleagues in Manchester, England. He probably vividly demonstrated the principle of "people of the same trade are enemies".
However, such words also made the three of them slightly excited.
That was because he wasn't just boasting and boasting without thinking.
Every piece of information given by Director Howard in front of him was the objective truth. It was also the true achievements and profound foundation of this special research center.
Apart from the others —
The depth of the research on the ALS variant, Ossen Moore, alone had proved that the special research center was indeed perfectly in line with Anxin's current situation and needs.
Just like what Director Howard had just said, "That's right.
They had made the right decision to come to the Heidelberg Affiliated Hospital.
However …
After a long speech, the German doctor, who was in his early forties, suddenly paused. He adjusted the gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes flickered slightly under the lenses.
"Of course —"
"Since I am a professional researcher of the Ossen Mer Mutant Disease, I have the obligation to remind you from a professional point of view."
"That is, even with the research level of the Heidelberg Special Research Center on this kind of disease, it is impossible for us to make any optimistic and certain promises about this kind of disease.
Howard's gaze finally met Anxin's.
"After all —"
"As a special variant of the ALS system, there hasn't been a single successful case of a perfect cure for Ossen Mer in the history of medicine."
…
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
It seemed to have become somewhat heavy and oppressive.
Even though they were mentally prepared before they came, when the director of the special research center gave such an objective and cold judgment, the three people in the office couldn't help but feel their hearts sink again.
Anxin subconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Wu's hand.
Number Five returned the handshake gently as a form of encouragement and comfort for the young girl. Then, she turned her gaze to Howard.
"But …"
"Doctor, since you were able to list such a long list of achievements for your special research center, then … you should at least have some confidence in the research and treatment methods of Ossen Mer, right?"
Howard nodded without hesitation.
"Of course."
"You can rest assured on this point. Compared to any other medical institution, I believe that you won't be able to find another institution that is more authoritative and capable than our Heidelberg Special Research Center when it comes to the research and treatment of Ossen Mer."
"I hope that you can be mentally prepared for what I said just now. According to the medical records, although the patient's symptoms have been controlled to a certain extent, they are still deteriorating bit by bit. This is also the most traditional and common stage of Ossen Mer Disease. In most cases, many patients slowly lose their ability to move and even their will to live at this stage …"
Before he finished speaking, Number One next to him shook his head and interrupted him.
"This —"
"You don't have to worry, Sir."
"If we're only considering the degree of cooperation during the treatment stage and her own will to live, then our lady is definitely stronger than any other patient."
His tone was calm but firm.
Howard raised his eyebrows slightly and his gaze fell on Anxin. The girl pursed her lips and met his gaze without flinching. Howard nodded.
"If that's the case, it couldn't be better."
"If the three of you have no other opinions, we can start the transfer and check-in procedures later."
"Also, one last point …"
At this point, the director of the special research center's expression turned slightly cold again.
"I need you to be mentally prepared."
"Based on the current condition of the patient's medical records, there is no doubt that this is one of the most troublesome cases our special research center has ever received. Heidelberg Hospital will, of course, do our best to face this difficult challenge with all of you. Although our research and treatment on this kind of disease can ensure that the patient will not encounter any unexpected dangerous situations during the treatment period, whether it is clinical medication or any other auxiliary treatment methods, the intensity of the treatment will be higher than that of any other medical institution."
"To put it more bluntly …"
"That is, the patient can foresee a lot of suffering in the future."
"And this may be a level that even a strong-willed adult man can't easily endure."
The smell of disinfectant in the office slowly spread.
The moment the director finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to become more solemn and somber.
Number Five could not help but look a little worried. Number One narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl sitting next to his fiancée.
"Bao Zi?"
Anxin was silent for a moment.
Then she looked up at the middle-aged German chief physician in front of her and revealed a heart-warming, bright smile.
"Yes."
"It's okay."
"If it's just suffering, I'm fine."
It was just a simple word, but it seemed to casually gloss over the hardships and pain that he would have to endure in the future.
The girl's eyes were clear and bright.
There was no panic or uneasiness that a delicate girl should have when facing this heavy reality.
There was only silence.
And determination.
Staring at the girl in front of him, the director of the special research center of Heidelberg University Hospital finally smiled for the first time. He took the initiative to extend his hand to the girl.
"Well then, young and brave lady —"
"Welcome here."
"From now on, all of our special research center will fight side by side with you."
The girl reached out and shook Howard's hand gently. She smiled sweetly.
"I also hope that we can win together."
