216: Chapter 165 Trick_2 216: Chapter 165 Trick_2 But this disease can’t be delayed; once true necrosis occurs, the only option is to have surgery to replace the femoral head.
That would not only be agonizing but also costly.
Most importantly, if it reaches that point, it’s impossible to return to the original state, and you might even end up with a limp.”
With that said, Zhao Yulan was terrified, “Doctor Jing, the other doctor told us if it heals, it will be the sa as before.”
Jing Zhe nodded, “That’s correct, she didn’t deceive you, but that’s contingent on early treatnt, and no complications during surgery.
But realistically, treatnt at a military hospital is definitely much safer than in a local small hospital.”
“Then…” Zhao Yulan hesitated.
“Go back for the treatnt,” Lin Baohe insisted.
“Her dad…” Zhao Yulan felt utterly helpless.
“Dad, do you want to be limping on one leg?”
“Xia, Doctor Jing said that it could get to limping if it gets serious, and it’s not that serious yet, Xia, considering our family’s situation, it’s unreasonable to stay longer.”
In the presence of Jing Zhe, Lin Baohe was reluctant to discuss the Zhou family’s situation and thus subtly tried to persuade his daughter.
“The military hospital doesn’t charge much, and right now I’m a soldier of the A Division.
Families of servicen can enjoy half-price benefits.
It might even be cheaper than at a small hospital.”
“Is the surgery complicated?” Zhao Yushan asked Jing Zhe.
“Not complicated, currently only a drug injection is needed.
You can be discharged after three to five days, but the specifics still depend on the recovery.”
“Can one person accompany the patient?” Zhao Yushan asked again.
“Yes, the patient is fairly mobile on their own, but they need to cooperate with IV treatnt and the doctor’s tily examination of the recovery, so hospitalization is necessary.”
“Well then…” Zhao Yushan looked at Lin Baohe, “Stop being stubborn, it’s a good thing to benefit from your daughter’s situation.
Your sister-in-law and I will go back first; once your leg is in good shape, you can go back with Yulan.”
“We better go back with big brother and sister-in-law, anyway…”
Zhao Yushan interrupted Lin Baohe, who still wanted to argue, “Listen to , if you regard as your big brother, just follow my advice.
Being in good health is more important than anything else.
Chuxia and Yulan still rely on you.”
“Big brother…” Lin Baohe, desperately signaling with his eyes to Zhao Yushan, ant that it wasn’t appropriate to discuss the Zhou family’s matter in front of Doctor Jing and wanted him to stop causing further confusion.
Seeing Lin Baohe’s anxiousness as if he was about to jump into a well, Jing Zhe couldn’t help but laugh, “Uncle Lin, are you worried about letting the Zhou family mbers know and feeling indebted to them?”
“Ah?” Lin Baohe stared blankly at Jing Zhe, at a loss for words.
…
Not long after Jing Zhe left, Zhou Mikang arrived, his hands loaded with a lot of stuff: “I bought so local specialties, give them to people after dad, mom, and the uncles and aunts go back.”
“Xiao Zhou, you’re too kind,” Zhao Yulan said with an embarrassed smile, “Look at us, always causing you trouble.”
Zhou Mikang rarely smiled, “Mom, isn’t it supposed to be like this?
A son-in-law is like a son.
In the future, you’ll truly have a son and a daughter.”
Zhao Yulan beca even more embarrassed, fidgeting as she looked at Zhou Mikang, “Yes, a son-in-law is like a son.
Your dad and I are so lucky, heh, suddenly we have both a son and a daughter, heh, we’re really blessed…”
Chuxia quietly rubbed her forehead.
Was her mother feeling guilty?
She was speaking so incoherently.
But Chuxia also felt sowhat guilty.
They really shouldn’t be keeping this from Zhou Mikang, but her dad was adamant.
If the Zhou family found out, he wouldn’t want to be treated here.
Oh well, if the Zhou family later finds out and isn’t pleased, she could explain it to them.
In fact, her dad didn’t think it through.
If they really kept this a secret from the Zhou family, it would actually make it harder for her.
However, she could understand her dad’s feelings; the Zhou family’s bride price had him stuck in a rut.
He felt that they didn’t value his daughter enough, so he especially didn’t want to owe them anything…
But deep down, she felt it was odd that Jing Zhe turned up today.
How could he have spotted the problem with her dad’s leg at a glance?
She used to not study dicine, but she knew the basics of dical knowledge.
Symptoms of femoral head necrosis at the early stage are not very obvious.
Experienced doctors might get a general idea by observing the patient’s walking posture when the condition flares up, but her dad was just sitting there at the ti, and it wasn’t obvious at all, was it?
Regardless, detecting it early is a good thing.
Shaking her head, she cast away the ssy thoughts from her mind.
Chuxia then noticed Zhou Mikang looking puzzled and asking Zhao Yulan what was going on.
“Nothing, nothing, there isn’t anything wrong,” Zhao Yulan’s head bobbed like a wave drum.
“But why do I feel like mom is speaking half-heartedly?
I clearly told you I’d pick you up at seven this morning, yet you agreed to anything I said,” Zhou Mikang inquired.
Zhao Yulan chuckled wryly, “Thinking that I won’t see Chuxia tomorrow evening, my mind’s all in disarray.
I really didn’t quite catch what you said.”
Thinking about it, Zhou Mikang decided not to press further.
After putting away the stuff neatly, he took everyone to the sa restaurant they had eaten at before.
The next morning at seven sharp, Zhou Mikang was at the door of the guest house as Zhao Yulan and her husband, as well as Zhao Yushan and his wife, were already waiting outside with their luggage.
As the car stopped, they quickly moved their belongings into the vehicle.
The train ticket was for 8:10, and they arrived around 7:30, sitting in the waiting room chatting.
As the ti to board approached, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe urged Zhou Mikang and Chuxia to head back.
“Dad, mom, I’ve bought platform tickets.
After seeing you onto the train, I’ll take Chuxia back,” Zhou Mikang said as he took out two platform tickets for Xia family’s perusal.
Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, with a sense of resignation in their eyes, sighed.
Well, if they must send them off, they could at least make it a little harder later…(To be continued.
