When they reached the hospital, they saw Winnip crying outside the surgery room.
On the other hand, Karim and Howard paced back and forth anxiously, constantly looking at the door of the operating theater.
"Mom."
Seeing them, Winnip threw herself into Laurent's arms and started crying.
"It's all my fault, all my fault. If not for me, Kane wouldn't be in trouble."
Laurent comforted Winnip. Only now would he show his maturity as a husband.
Chen Zhao and Faur pulled Karim and Howard aside and asked about the situation.
The information they obtained from their mouths was enough to make the two of them change their expressions.
Kane's condition was very serious. He didn't die on the spot, but it was still fatal at such a close distance.
Their initial conclusion was that the bullet had slowed down after piercing through the skull. It was lodged in the inside of the skull.
However, the fragments had entered the left cerebral cortex and lodged in the telencephalon.
These fragments were the most fatal. If they weren't removed, Kane's life would be in danger at any time.
Also, they weren't sure about the damage to the brain after being shot.
However, there was very little information. Even Chen Zhao and Faur didn't know, much less make a judgment.
Winnip kept asking if Kane would die.
Winnip often scolded the three of them, but she really treated them as family and her own children.
Now that Kane had been hurt to protect her, she couldn't accept it.
"Chen …" Faur looked at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao waved his hand. "No need to say anything. I'll help if it's within my abilities. I just don't know the exact situation."
Finally, after waiting bitterly for three hours, the door of the operating theater opened.
The attending doctor came out, but his face was very solemn.
"Sorry, you can go in and see him one last time."
Winnip fainted on the spot. Laurent hurriedly pulled her back.
"Doctor, I need to know the patient's exact condition," Chen Zhao said to the attending doctor.
"You are?"
"I'm a doctor too."
"The debris is now scattered in the telencephalon. These debris are small and difficult to remove. Some of them have already caused functional damage to the patient and caused intracranial hemorrhage. No one can save him now," the attending doctor said.
"I hope to operate on him myself," Chen Zhao said.
"You?" The doctor looked at him. "Sir, please don't joke around. First of all, you're not a doctor in our hospital. I don't even know if you're a doctor, so you don't have the right to operate on patients in our hospital."
"I'm a medical professor at UCLA," Chen Zhao said.
"Even if you're a medical professor, it's still impossible. This is the written rule of our hospital."
Chen Zhao looked at the name on the doctor's chest: Hill Nandes.
"Mr. Hill, since you've already determined that the patient can't be saved, why don't you give me a chance? No matter how bad the result is, it can't be worse, right?"
Hill Nandes hesitated. "That's not for me to decide."
"Then who can decide?"
"Our dean."
"Can I trouble you to communicate with the dean?"
"I … I'll try my best, but can you prove your qualifications?"
"I don't have my license. You can call UCLA. You should be able to get their number, right? Also, the dean of LA Chantilly Hospital can prove it for me."
"I'm an oncology specialist at Chantilly Hospital. This is my license. I can prove it to my friend. He's very professional in neurosurgery and internal medicine."
Hill Nandes glanced at Faur's license and said, "I recognize you, Miss Faur. I've heard you speak at an advanced medical conference before, so I believe you. But I'm not sure if the director will agree."
"Then please go talk to the dean of this hospital."
"Okay, I'll go now."
As soon as Hill Nandes left, Chen Zhao immediately entered the surgery room. Everyone surrounded the operating table.
"All of you, go out. Leave the rest to me."
"Chen, what are you doing?"
"Saving the patient," Chen Zhao said.
"But the dean hasn't agreed yet."
"Does that mean I won't save him?" Chen Zhao asked. "Howard, Karim, if anyone tries to break in later, stop them. Don't let anyone disturb me before I come out."
"Chen, can you really save Kane?" Karim asked hesitantly.
"Hurry up and get out. Don't waste time. Kane doesn't have time to wait."
"Do you need me to stay and help?" Faur asked.
"You know my habits."
"Okay, please save Kane."
"I'll try my best."
Faur's heart grew heavier. This was the first time Chen Zhao had said "try your best."
In the past, Chen Zhao had always been so confident.
No matter what illness he faced, he was always so confident.
Even when facing a vegetable that had been in a coma for five years, he had never flinched or hesitated.
But now, he actually said that he would try his best.
This meant that Kane's injuries were more serious than they'd imagined.
After the surgery room was closed again, Chen Zhao destroyed the surveillance in the room.
Using it, he reopened Kane's skull.
After some inspection, he summoned the brain-eating bugs.
These bugs were very small. Each one was the size of a pinhead.
Chen Zhao controlled the bugs to crawl in Kane's telencephalon, looking for fragments.
Because the brain was so fragile, the telencephalon couldn't be opened with current medical technology.
After all, it was filled with sticky brain matter. It couldn't be opened physically.
However, the brain-eating bugs could avoid this problem very well. They crawled inside the telencephalon, looking for and swallowing the fragments.
Of course, swallowing the fragments was fatal to the bugs. After swallowing two or three fragments, the bugs reacted. Chen Zhao didn't care. After all, the bugs were consumables.
As long as they brought the fragments out of the brain, it would be fine. If one died, there would be another.
Just then, Chen Zhao heard an argument outside.
It should be the people from the hospital, but Karim and the others stopped them outside.
However, Chen Zhao didn't have the energy to care about the situation outside. He needed to focus on the treatment.
Chen Zhao also used the bugs to bring the medicine to the designated area.
