Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 996 - 960: Scheming Thoughts

At ten o'clock on Thursday morning, as soon as Lin Jie arrived at the University Affiliated Hospital, he was informed that Elenna's family had arrived.As Elenna's attending physician, who also had a critical surgery to perform in the evening, Lin Jie needed to meet with the patient's family.

When Lin Jie entered Elenna's ward, he was surprised to find just how large the Morris Clan was.

There were grandparents, uncles, and aunts, cousins of the same generation, and even younger generations and great-grandchildren.

Together, they numbered up to fifty or sixty people.

Not only was the ward crowded with people, but the hallway outside was also full.

Fortunately, they were all quite polite and well-mannered; no one spoke loudly or caused a commotion.

Elenna seemed in good spirits, smiling as she said, "Dr. Lin, my family is worried about what if something happens to me, afraid they won't see me again. So, whoever could come, came."

"Dr. Lin, let me introduce you…"

As Elenna made introductions, Lin Jie exchanged brief pleasantries with them.

The only person Lin Jie recognized among them was her uncle, the congressman Fedor.

He warmly embraced Lin Jie and then turned to mildly scold Elenna, "Don't make such jokes so casually. We're all here not to see you for the last time but to cheer you on."

"With Dr. Lin here, the surgery will definitely be successful."

Fedor then loudly addressed the relatives around him, "You've all seen Elenna. Staying here isn't beneficial for her recovery."

"Go rest at the hotel, adjust to the time difference, and come back when Elenna's surgery takes place."

Following his instructions, the family members came to embrace and kiss Elenna one by one, and then left the ward together.

Eventually, only Elenna's parents, Warner and Margarita, her two younger brothers, and Fedor stayed in the ward.

Once the room was quiet again, Margarita asked nervously, "Dr. Lin, Elenna mentioned you have a new experimental therapy that could let her… let her…"

"Can let me live a few more years!" Elenna interjected, finishing the sentence.

Lin Jie honestly replied, "The experimental therapy is still just a theoretical hypothesis. The specifics depend on the progress of my research and Elenna's responsiveness to the therapy."

He then briefly explained the principle behind the experimental therapy.

Out of confidentiality, Lin Jie skimmed over some key issues.

Elenna's father, Warner, the president of Morris Group, was a man with a prominent nose, silver-grey hair, and sharp eyes.

He listened intently to Lin Jie, occasionally nodding.

When Lin Jie finished speaking, Warner slowly said, "For Elenna's condition, other doctors were previously at a loss. But Dr. Lin, you initially extended her life by a year or two, and now you can potentially extend it by several years."

"With this buffer of a few years, maybe as medicine advances, a new treatment will emerge that can completely cure her."

"Dr. Lin, you truly are the Child of Miracles."

Warner spoke gratefully, "Thank you for bringing hope to Elenna, allowing her to stay forever with us."

Lin Jie humbly replied, "Child of Miracles is mere exaggeration by others, not to be taken seriously. I must remind everyone, extending from one or two years to several years is an ideal scenario where everything goes smoothly."

He candidly added, "For instance, there is still a possibility of unexpected events during tonight's surgery. I hope you can mentally prepare for this."

"Unexpected events can happen anywhere; we all understand this."

Warner lovingly stroked Elenna's hair and continued, "Dr. Lin, regarding the experimental therapy you mentioned, is there anything we can do?"

"As you may know, the Morris Group owns two medical equipment companies and has close collaborative relationships with several top hospitals in Germany and Europe. Perhaps we can provide support in other ways."

Warner's offer was a straightforward way to set terms for cooperation.

Such a great opportunity, Lin Jie naturally wouldn't let it pass in vain.

He pondered briefly and said in a professional tone, "After Elenna's surgery, in order to control the growth of residual tumor tissue, we need to closely monitor the remaining tumor to adjust the medication's delivery points and dosage."

"Due to equipment and technical limitations, I can only observe the tumor growth trend through magnetic resonance imaging."

Lin Jie expressed his hopes, "If we could have an auxiliary medical system like that of Heidelberg University Hospital for laser 3D imaging, it would offer a clearer and more intuitive view of the tumor's intricacies."

As Warner and Fedor both showed troubled expressions, Lin Jie knew that his request was indeed quite high.

This request was probably asking for too much.

Aware of this, Lin Jie continued, "I understand that the auxiliary medical system at Heidelberg University Hospital is extremely precious and won't be loaned out, and we simply can't afford it."

"But could we at least have Elenna's physical data?"

Lin Jie further explained, "With Elenna's detailed data, we can generate tumor 3D simulation data on our computer-assisted platform."

This request was mainly to facilitate Elenna's subsequent treatment, but it also held a hidden intention.

Although each person's appearance and image are vastly different, if one were to analyze human anatomy, over 99% of bodily structures and compositions are identical.

Having Elenna's detailed physical data, would mean completing more than 80% of the work required for a basic human database.

This would save millions, even tens of millions in investment and a significant amount of time.

Warner nodded lightly, saying, "Just Elenna's physical data shouldn't be an issue. I'll discuss it with Heidelberg University Hospital."

"To be honest, Dr. Lin, the laser 3D imaging device you saw at Heidelberg University Hospital was developed by the Morris Group."

"We could airlift one over for temporary use by Expert Lin."

It was indeed an unexpected bonus.

Lin Jie was overjoyed and happily said, "If that's the case, that would be wonderful..."

After a little more conversation, Lin Jie excused himself, leaving time for Elenna and her family.

Returning to his office, Lin Jie was surprised to find Goebbels waiting for him.

After giving Goebbels an enthusiastic welcome hug, Lin Jie asked, "Dr. Goebbels, did you come along with Elenna's family?"

Goebbels laughed lightly, "Indeed! How could I miss such a brilliant and challenging surgery? I joined the Morris Clan's private jet to come over."

"Dr. Lin, I request permission to observe Elenna's surgery, if you would allow it?"

"Of course, it's no problem at all!"

Seeing Goebbels smiling broadly, Lin Jie suddenly had a thought and speculatively asked quietly, "Dr. Goebbels, were you the one who informed Elenna's family?"

Goebbels sighed softly and nodded, saying, "For the sake of profit and vanity, turning a blind eye to a patient heading towards death? How is that different from a murderer? I couldn't do it."

So it was indeed him.

Lin Jie initially thought it was Yuan Puzhen and others who leaked the information through some channel.

He sincerely praised, "Dr. Goebbels, you are a noble doctor."

Lin Jie then asked, "During that terrible attack, how was the hospital? Was there significant impact or loss?"

Goebbels said with some sorrow, "The hospital wasn't directly attacked during that incident."

"However, several ambulances heading to the city for rescue were shot at by thugs, resulting in casualties."

"Fearing further attacks, the hospital didn't dare dispatch any vehicles to save people, and could only watch helplessly…"

Goebbels shook his head and switched topics, saying, "I also had a few people entrust me with bringing you some gifts in gratitude for your assistance."

Looking at the gifts Goebbels presented, Lin Jie chuckled.

Most of the gifts were various flavors of sausages and a few handicrafts.

At noon, Lin Jie hosted a simple lunch, accompanied by Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, Pang Leshan, and Wei Haiyuan, to treat Goebbels.

Shortly after one-thirty in the afternoon, Jian Jia informed Lin Jie that the prison van escorting Yao Jishun had arrived at the hospital.
