"Mom, I can jump off the table now, Mom, my leg doesn't hurt anymore!"
Seeing Xiao Ling'er happily spinning in place, Cui Jie couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears welling up.
Because she knew very well that her child was truly saved!
"Doctor Chen, thank you, thank you!" Cui Jie looked at Chen Fan with tear-filled eyes, bent her knees, and was about to kneel down.
Chen Fan quickly supported Cui Jie, "Sister Cui, you're welcome. I promised you I'd cure Xiao Ling'er, and I always keep my word."
"Mom, my leg doesn't hurt anymore. Shouldn't you be happy? Mom, don't cry." Xiao Ling'er hugged Cui Jie's leg and looked up to comfort her.
"Mm, Mom won't cry, Mom is happy." Cui Jie reached out to touch Xiao Ling'er's forehead, a happy smile on her face.
Lian Wenxin, standing by, was dumbfounded, and Liu Qianze's brows furrowed tightly.
He had just said that Xiao Ling'er was unconscious, had lost a lot of blood, and was not long for this world.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Ling'er woke up from her coma and was lively and kicking. Wasn't this slapping himself in the face?
"Director Lian, didn't you say her condition was very serious? As a doctor, where has your rigor gone?" Luo Yongtang asked Lian Wenxin with a grim face.
Of course, this was also said to Liu Qianze.
However, it was Liu Qianze's first day at the hospital, so it was inconvenient to point fingers at him.
Lian Wenxin looked wronged, staring at the lively Xiao Ling'er, unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
Finally, Liu Qianze spoke, "Dean Luo, we had no way to access the patient, so misjudgment is understandable. However, the fact that Doctor Chen used Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat leukemia can be confirmed. If such a thing gets out, it might indeed cause a lot of trouble."
Luo Yongtang's expression was somewhat troubled. After all, he knew Chen Fan's medical skills; even Old Lu was saved by Chen Fan.
However, treating leukemia with Traditional Chinese Medicine was indeed too far-fetched. He could only look at Chen Fan and say, "Doctor Chen, you are a surgeon. This illness doesn't seem to be within your scope of practice, does it?"
When Cui Jie heard this, she said anxiously, "Dean, Doctor Chen is truly capable. My daughter previously had difficulty walking due to leukemia, but after Doctor Chen's treatment, as you've seen, she can even jump off the table. Please, let Chen..."
Before Cui Jie could finish speaking, Luo Yongtang said, "Madam, our hospital does not have this department, so we cannot treat your daughter here in the future."
Cui Jie's face immediately showed disappointment.
However, Luo Yongtang added, "Although the hospital cannot treat her, you can find Doctor Chen privately. That is your own business and has nothing to do with the hospital."
Cui Jie suddenly realized, and her face lit up with joy again.
Liu Qianze's face was grim. He looked at Cui Jie again and said, "Madam, treating leukemia with Traditional Chinese Medicine is impossible. I believe if you had some common sense, you would know this. Otherwise, how could leukemia have become an incurable disease?"
"I happen to know a leukemia specialist, Wei Yujie. He has some reputation in the domestic medical community. He is my senior schoolmate from the world's number one medical university. I can have him examine your daughter, and I will pay all your medical expenses."
What?! Wei Yujie?!
Everyone was shocked, even Cui Jie was stunned. This was a true leukemia specialist and professor, someone who was usually hard to even get an appointment with.
And most importantly, all medical expenses would be paid by Liu Qianze! This alone could make many people move.
"Mom, I don't want anyone else to treat me. I only want Big Brother to treat me." Just then, Xiao Ling'er suddenly shook Cui Jie's leg and said.
Cui Jie's eyes immediately became resolute.
Everyone's gaze fell on Cui Jie. In their opinion, no one would refuse such a good offer.
Seeing the determination in Cui Jie's eyes, Liu Qianze smiled smugly.
He wanted to let Chen Fan know that his connections and money were not something a mere doctor like him could compete with, and that even patients could be snatched from his hands.
At the same time, Liu Qianze wanted to show his compassion in front of Qin Shuran.
Just when everyone thought Cui Jie would agree, Cui Jie's words surprised everyone: "Thank you for your kindness, Dr. Liu. I still hope Doctor Chen will treat my daughter. Although I know the possibility of treating leukemia with Traditional Chinese Medicine is slim, I believe in Doctor Chen."
Wow!
Immediately, everyone was stunned.
They had never expected Cui Jie to refuse such an enticing offer.
Liu Qianze was also taken aback, "Madam, you must think carefully. This concerns your daughter's life!"
Cui Jie stroked Xiao Ling'er's head and replied, "I know, but my daughter likes Doctor Chen more. I should respect my daughter's wishes."
"Hmph! Ignorant!"
"You will regret your decision one day. Traditional Chinese Medicine is just the talk of charlatans from the past. You actually believe that Traditional Chinese Medicine can cure diseases?" Liu Qianze was furious and slandered Traditional Chinese Medicine again.
"Dr. Liu, you always think Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot treat this disease. How about we make a bet?" Chen Fan, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly spoke.
"A bet? What are we betting on?" Liu Qianze asked Chen Fan with a playful look.
"We'll bet on whether I can cure Xiao Ling'er's leukemia."
"Alright," Liu Qianze said with a hidden joy.
Then he asked, "Since it's a bet, there should be some stakes. Everyone present can be a witness."
Chen Fan's lips curved slightly, "Okay. If I can cure Xiao Ling'er's leukemia within a month, you will leave the hospital and, in your personal capacity, publicly apologize to Traditional Chinese Medicine in the most authoritative international medical core journal."
Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded again.
Liu Qianze smiled and said, "Agreed. But if you cannot cure her, you will cancel your physician's qualification certificate yourself, never practice medicine again, and leave Jiangcheng forever."
These words made the atmosphere in the room extremely tense.
Everyone began to whisper. This was clearly a competition for the right to stay by Qin Shuran's side!
Chen Fan smiled calmly, "Agreed, I accept."
"Chen Fan!" Qin Shuran was suddenly anxious when she saw Chen Fan agree.
After all, it was leukemia. Qin Shuran still didn't believe Chen Fan could truly treat this incurable disease.
"Good, Doctor Chen, then we will see the result in a month." Liu Qianze was incredibly smug. In his eyes, victory was already assured.
He hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so foolish, daring to bet with him for the sake of so-called Traditional Chinese Medicine honor?!
