Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 524

Chapter 524: Sickle Cell Anemia ( 2 )
After signing his name on the document, Song Yan raised his head. As soon as he saw Doctor Xie, he stood up suddenly and exclaimed in disbelief, “Teacher!”

Due to his sudden movement, the chair was pushed backwards and fell to the ground. Seeing his reaction, the nurse was stunned. This was the first time she had seen him, who had always been calm, lost his calm.

Ignoring the astonished gazes of the nurse, Aunt Li, and Li Sang, Doctor Xie sighed and said, “Have you forgotten what I taught you? Keep your calm.”

Looking at the old man in front of him, Song Yan felt like he was in a dream. Everyone said his teacher was dead, but he never believed the rumor. Unexpectedly, he finally found him in this small town!

“Teacher, I will never forget your teachings. Teacher, I have been looking for you all these years. Where have you been?” He said with reddened eyes.

Doctor Xie waved his hand, sat down and said, “We will talk about this later. Now, tell me how Li Shu’s condition is.”

When Aunt Li and Li Sang heard what he said, they quickly sat down and looked at Song Yan anxiously.

“Doctor Song, how is my daughter?” Li Sang asked.

Seeing that his teacher didn’t want to talk about his personal affairs now, Song Yan could only swallow his doubts and pick up his chair. After sitting down, he coughed and opened the folder.

He placed the folder in front of Doctor Xie and said, “Part of the patient’s left lung was injured and infected. So, we had no choice but to remove the infected part.”

After hearing what he said, Aunt Li felt her eyes darken and almost fainted.

Seeing his mother’s reaction, Li Sang quickly supported her arms and asked, “Mother, are you alright?”

Aunt Li took a few deep breaths before feeling better. She waved her hands and said weakly, “I’m fine.”

Song Yan glanced at them and his teacher. When he saw his teacher frowning but didn’t say anything, he continued his explanation, “The surgery will not affect the patient’s daily life. But she might be unable to do heavy work or exercise too much in the future.”

Hearing his words, Li Sang fell silent. For villagers, the worst-case scenario is losing the ability to work in the fields. If his daughter cannot do heavy work, it will be difficult for her to find a good family to marry in the future. After all, no one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who cannot earn work points or do housework.

Not knowing their inner turbulence, Song Yang added, “After the operation, the patient may feel difficulty breathing. I will teach the patient how to do deep breathing and coughing exercises to help her body get as much oxygen as possible. She may also need an oxygen mask after the surgery, but after a while, it won’t be needed.”

“The patient may also feel discomfort and pain in the first few months after the surgery. I will prescribe some painkillers before the patient is discharged. However, due to the severity of the patient’s injuries, she will need to stay in the intensive care unit for at least five days for observation.”

When Doctor Xie finished reading Li Shu’s data, his eyes flashed for a moment before it returned to normal. But because he lowered his head, no one noticed anything unusual.

He closed the folder and said, “Thank you Doctor Song for saving Da Niu.”

Hearing his teacher’s polite and distant words, Song Yan was stunned for a moment and said, “Teacher, you don’t need to thank me. This is what I should do.”

Seeing the anxious look of his youngest disciple, Doctor Xie sighed and said, “Can we go see Da Niu now?”

Song Yan glanced at Li Sang and Aunt Li and said, “The patient is in the intensive care unit, so only one person can visit for now.”

Doctor Xie turned to look at Li Sang and said, “Then you go and see her. I will go buy some food first.”

“Thank you, Doctor Xie, Doctor Song.” Li Sang said gratefully.

After speaking, he supported his mother and followed the nurse to the ICU.

Seeing that his teacher wanted to leave, Song Yan quickly asked, “Teacher, where do you live now?”

Doctor Xie knew that his disciple was very stubborn and he wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted and said with a sigh, “I’m living at Xie village now.”

“Teacher, can I visit you?” he asked again.

Looking at the hopeful gaze of his disciple, Doctor Xie’s heart softened and he said, “Mhmm, you can do as you like.”

After getting his permission, Song Yang was overjoyed. But before he could speak, Doctor Xie added, “Remember to keep my identity secret. I have left that family and do not plan to have anything to do with them anymore.”

Song Yan nodded and said with a smile, “Teacher, don’t worry. I’m very good at keeping secrets.”

Seeing that his disciple wanted to send him off personally, Doctor Xie said, “There is no need to send me off. You still have work to do.”

After saying that, he left the room without looking back.

Looking at his back, Song Yan let out a long sigh and muttered, “It seems that my teacher still can’t forgive himself for what happened back then.”

Recalling what happened back then and recalling what was written on Li Shu’s data, his eyes suddenly widened. He quickly checked Li Shu’s data and muttered in disbelief, “This… Is this a mere coincidence or is she…”

He couldn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in this world. Li Shu actually suffers from sickle cell anemia, which is said to be a congenital disease inherited from both of the parents.

But seeing that Li Sang is in such good health, he must not be Li Shu’s biological father. So, did Li Shu’s mother have an extramarital affair with another man?
