Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 My Student Can Do This Surgery Chapter 63: Chapter 63 My Student Can Do This Surgery A moment later, An Huadong sighed, “Astrocytoma, one of the more troublesome brain tumors. Given her condition, she really can’t wait too long. She’s having great difficulty walking now, isn’t she?”

“Yes, she spends most of her time in bed.”

“Hmm, she’s already undergone two craniotomies, alas, the surgeries were inadequate. The tumor wasn’t completely excised, so it will continue to grow.”

“The previous two doctors said that no one could remove it completely. To do so would damage brain tissue and risk leaving her in a vegetative state.”

“Nonsense, I can remove it completely without harming the brain tissue.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s heart jolted, “Can you really remove it all?”

“I can. It’s not like I haven’t performed this type of surgery before.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s tone became serious, “Then I must ask Director An to perform the excision surgery on my mother.”

“That’s not possible.”

“Shengshi Group can donate another billion!”

“This isn’t about money. It’s that I’m old now, my vision isn’t clear, and my hands aren’t as steady as they used to be. I can’t guarantee the surgery will be perfect anymore.”

An Huadong adjusted his glasses, “However, if you donate ten billion yuan, I can have my student perform the surgery on your mother.”

Sheng Tingyuan shook his head, “No, I don’t trust a student. It has to be you performing the operation, and I want to be there on the day of the surgery.”

An Huadong had encountered family members like this before. Many patients came to him because of his reputation, and they all firmly refused to let a student perform the surgery.

He repeated what he had already said countless times, “My student is very skilled. Her surgical skills are even steadier than mine. I’ve never seen anyone as steady as her. You can relax. If you’re donating so much money, would I still deceive you?”

“How can I relax? How skilled can a student be?”

“She’s someone I personally trained, pouring all my effort into her upbringing. She’s truly outstanding! If the surgery isn’t successful, Dome Hospital will belong to you!”

Sheng Tingyuan was startled. He hadn’t expected An Huadong to boast such a grand promise. How much did he trust his student?

But he still shook his head, “No, only you can perform the surgery.”

“Why are you so stubborn? I told you, my student is even more skilled than I am.”

“I’m not being stubborn but cautious. You’ve seen my mother’s condition yourself. She can’t afford any failure.”

“That’s exactly why I’m suggesting my student for the surgery! During an earthquake, she impressively completed a highly difficult operation. While I was too scared and hiding, she carried on as if nothing happened. How strong and responsible is she?”

Sheng Tingyuan was again taken aback. Dome Hospital had such a psychologically tough doctor?

But he still shook his head, “It’s great that she’s mentally strong, but that doesn’t mean her surgical experience surpasses yours. Therefore, it has to be you who operates. I won’t accept anyone else.”

“Her surgical experience is also very rich!”

“No.”

Anyway, no matter what was said, it had to be An Huadong performing the surgery.

An Huadong spoke with a parched throat, “If you had come to me a few years ago, I would have definitely operated on your mother. But I really am too old now. I am acting out of responsibility to the patient when I refuse to do the surgery. Do you think I feel good pushing it onto my student and just watching?”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t reply. A few years back, Tang Jin wasn’t ill, so why would he have come to An Huadong?

“My student’s surgeries aren’t easy to schedule either. I’m really giving you a backdoor here. Go back and think it over well. Either my student operates on your mother, or there will be no operation at all. There’s no other choice.”

“Can she also completely excise the tumor without damaging brain tissue?”

An Huadong said proudly, “She can!”
