Everyone in the office fell silent.
Although it was cold, it was the most reasonable plan.
They could be discharged now to reduce unnecessary expenses. Furthermore, they could always have another child while they were still young.
This was also the most rational choice.
âAlright, thatâs it. Iâll sort out the report later and tell them the situation. Thatâs the only way.â Sun Dawei sighed.
Li Chuhan nodded. âThen weâll go back first. Call me if you need anything.â
âAlright, sorry to trouble you, Director Li and Director Lin.â
âItâs our responsibility.â
After saying goodbye, the three of them prepared to return to the eighth inpatient department.
However, as soon as he walked out, he saw the childâs father run in front of Lin Yi and kneel down, completely ignoring the gazes of others.
âDirector Lin, youâre a good person. Please save my son. Heâs only two months old. Without him, the two of us wonât be able to live.â
âGet up and listen to me first.â Lin Yi lifted the childâs father and said.
âI understand how you feel, but you have to understand that some things canât be solved through manpower alone.â
Lin Yi did not feel good either.
Every child was the apple of their parentâs eye. He was not a parent and could not empathize with them.
At this moment, only the couple knew their pain.
âThe risk of a major artery transplant is very high. Neither I nor Director Li can guarantee that it will succeed. Secondly, the child also has SMA. This is fatal. A drug like Nosinogen Sodium costs 700,000 yuan per tube. Itâs not something an ordinary family can afford.â
âNo problem. We can sell the house and land in our hometown and borrow a little more.â
âBut this is far from enough,â Lin Yi said, âA disease like SMA needs at least four injections. Itâs not something that can be solved with just 700,000 yuan.â
âAt least⦠at least fourâ¦â
Lin Yiâs words completely shattered the childâs fatherâs mental defense.
700,000 yuan was already enough to bankrupt them. They could not take out anymore.
âAlthough youâre already in your thirties, modern medicine is very advanced. Go back and recuperate. It wonât be a problem for you to have another child.â
Lin Yi felt that his words were hypocritical.
The child had already been born. This was different from a stillbirth.
No one could bear to lose their child.
If it were him, he would probably try to save her even if he had to sell his blood and kidneys.
âBut weâ¦â
The man collapsed to the ground as if his soul had been sucked out.
This was the hardest moment of his life.
At this moment, a few young nurses from the pediatrics department walked over to calm him down.
Lin Yi and the other two also left.
If possible, they didnât want to leave either, but there was nothing else they could do.
On the way back, the three of them were in low spirits.
âBrother Lin, if it were you, what would you do?â Qiao Xin asked softly.
âProbably the same thing as him.â Lin Yi said.
âThe SMA doesnât seem like a terminal illness. Normally, patients can only wait for death. Even if thereâs still a little hope of recovery, itâs by no means something to rely on.â
Lin Yi sighed deeply. In front of a child, a manâs knees and dignity were nothing.
âYouâre right,â Qiao Xin said dejectedly. âGod is so unfair.â
âHeâs indeed too unfair. Otherwise, society wouldnât continue to repeat that life isnât easy.â
When the three of them returned to the department, Lin Yiâs phone rang again. It was Sun Dawei again.
âWhat happened?â
âThe babyâs father found me just now. He wants to sell the familyâs house and land and give the child a shot of Nosinogen Sodium.â
âItâs useless. Didnât you tell him?â
âIâve already told him. He said that he wants to fight it regardless of how much treatment the child needs.â Sun Dawei said with difficulty.
âHe even wanted me to help him find a place to sell his kidneys. He just wants to save his son.â
âThis is nonsense!â Lin Yi slammed the table, âWe canât agree to that!â
âIâve already rejected him,â Sun Dawei said.
âBut from the looks of it, he really wants to get the injection. If he really wants to do that, it might involve surgery.â
âAlright, Iâll discuss this with Director Li.â
âLet me know any updates when youâre done.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Lin Yi looked at Li Chuhan and said,
âThe childâs father said that he wants to get a shot of Nosinogen Sodium and asked if we can arrange the surgery.â
âAt the end of the day, our advice is just a suggestion. Ultimately, we still have to follow the familyâs wishes,â Li Chuhan said.
âIf it really doesnât work, Iâll apply to Director Miao to see if he can reduce the medical fees.â
Lin Yi had always felt that Li Chuhanâs stance on this matter was cold.
She had no intention of getting married and having children, so she could not understand the pain of the person involved.
However, he seemed to have been wrong. Her heart was still warm.
This was because she had once been loved with all her might.
âDirector Li, why donât we organize a donation? Although itâs not going to cover everything, we can help as much as we can.â
âThis proposal rests on the hospitalâs decision. If we initiate it, it will be like moral kidnapping.â Li Chuhan said.
âBut we can donate a little in our own name and not worry about others.â
âGot it.â
After the two of them finished speaking, their gazes landed on Lin Yi, wanting to hear his opinion. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXinxin, contact the pediatrics department in the afternoon and arrange for the child to be transferred to our department.â
âGot it.â
Lin Yi stretched. He had a clear plan in mind. He would leave after the surgery.
The last mission had already lasted for almost a month. He could not waste any more time in the hospital.
Since there was no surgery in the afternoon, Lin Yi didnât plan to stay in the hospital anymore.
He soon drove home and continued to work on the Chip 3.0.
Ring!
Just as he drove home, Lin Yiâs phone rang.
The caller was Zhao Wen from Pfizer.
âYou are so hardheaded. How dare you call me? You might as well change your name to Shameless Wen.â
Muttering to himself, Lin Yi picked up the phone.
âMr. Lin.â
âIf you have something to say, say it. If not, hang up.â
Zhao Wen had obviously adjusted to Lin Yiâs jumpy attitude. âI was reassigned by the company. I have something to discuss with you.â
âTell me.â
âRecently, thereâs news that the 25 Huaxian medicines you developed have passed the lab tests. Is that so?â
âLetâs not keep me in suspense. Just say what you want to say.â
As one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world, if there was no conclusive information, would they make any rash assertions?
However, they received the news after the successful testing of the 25 traditional Huaxian medicines. Reports from Pfizerâs marketing department would not be fake.
âIn that case, Iâll get straight to the point.â Zhao Wen paused and said.
âPfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies value your research and development ability very much. They hope to cooperate with you.â
âCooperate?â Lin Yi smiled. âThese people really donât care about the past.â
âYou know that they only care about benefits.â
âAlright, how do you want to work together?â Lin Yi said.
âDoes Mr. Lin agree?â
Lin Yiâs attitude surprised Zhao Wen. She thought that Lin Yi would reject her.
It seemed that the ultimate stage of capital development was all about money.
âWhat else? You think my time is worthless?â
âAlright, we will send a representative to Zhonghai to talk to you about this.â
âCall me when youâre here. Iâll hang up first.â
Because he still had work to do, Lin Yi didnât want to talk to Zhao Wen anymore.
âMr. Lin, wait. Can I ask you one last question?â
âGo ahead.â
