Mu Zi erged from the patient's room and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, surveyed the crowd before she finally began to speak deliberately,
"Song Tao's mother's illness … is cured!" …
Cured?
The mont Mu Zi's words were heard, the room fell silent such that even the drop of a pin would have been audible.
That was advanced cancer, a disease not even the specialists and doctors in The Stars and Stripes Country could treat! Could soone have actually cured it? Although everyone heard what Mu Zi said, disbelief still filled their eyes.
Even Director Zhou, who had previously declared confidently before the cara that Ding Fan certainly could not cure cancer, was now deeply frowning. He would sooner believe in ghosts than believe that soone on this Earth could cure cancer!
After a mont of silence, the scene beca noisy.
"Please, did Mr. Ding truly cure Madam Li Shuying of her cancer? Are you sure you did not see it wrong?"
"Where is Madam Li Shuying now? Could it be that she really is cured?"
"How could soone possibly cure cancer, especially its advanced stages..."
In an instant, a tsunami of questions from the surrounding journalists surged towards Mu Zi.
"Aunt Mu Zi, is my mom's illness really cured by Dad Ding?" At this mont, Song Tao squeezed through the crowd and hugged Mu Zi's legs, looking up at her with hopeful eyes.
Mu Zi gently lifted Song Tao. "Don't worry, your mom is cured … completely cured …"
Wow … Hearing Mu Zi's words and witnessing this scene, the people around were about 60 percent convinced now...
"Could it be that Mr. Ding really cured cancer! My God …"
"Mr. Ding had just created a miracle cure for heart disease, and now he can treat cancer as well, he's practically a godlike man …"
…
"I am the hospital director, and I want to perform a full-body examination of Madam Li Shuying… Whether she is really cured is not for you to decide…" At that mont, Director Zhou stepped forward and said.
Mu Zi looked at Director Zhou with so surprise. She didn't know about the bet Director Zhou had with Song Tao previously, so she was unclear why Director Zhou was so concerned about Li Shuying's condition.
Director Zhou glanced at Mu Zi. "I absolutely will not allow those who use cancer for publicity to succeed..."
Mu Zi furrowed her brows slightly, not expecting Director Zhou to think this way.
Song Tao, standing nearby, made a face at Director Zhou. "My Dad Ding is the best, he can cure diseases that you can't …"
Although Song Tao's comnt was childishly blunt, it did cause Director Zhou's face to shift slightly. Without further words to the others, he then turned to the doctors and nurses behind him. "Arrange for an examination for Madam Li Shuying…"
"Yes…" Right away, doctors and nurses entered the ward.
The physicians and nurses took Li Shuying for a check-up, Ding Fan did not interfere; even if they had not co by themselves, Ding Fan would have arranged for Li Shuying's check-up, as she wouldn't have felt at ease otherwise.
After the doctors and nurses took Li Shuying away, Ding Fan erged from the ward, and a throng of dia reporters quickly surrounded Ding Fan once more. A plethora of questions bombarded him from all sides.
Ding Fan was not adept in dealing with the dia and, thankfully, Lin Qingqing was there to help him out of tight spots, without whom Ding Fan wouldn't have known how to entangle with these people.
At this mont, Song Tao had reached Ding Fan's side, and Ding Fan imdiately picked up Xiao Song Tao.
"Dad Ding, that man doubted that you are creating a hype story, and he even bet with that if you cured my mom's illness, he would take you as his master..."
Song Tao briefly recounted his bet with Director Zhou. Ding Fan, however, was unconcerned, as he understood that curing cancer seed too fantastical in the eyes of the world.
Li Shuying's mother was taken to the examination room. It took about an hour before she ca out. Typically, an examination would take no more than half an hour to complete, but after the first round, the doctors were so incredulous at the results that they conducted another check.
Li Shuying had just been wheeled out of the examination room. Imdiately, the dia waiting outside sward around her.
"Please, doctor, how did the examination results turn out? Is Madam Li Shuying's condition really cured? Is she truly healed now?"
"… Is Madam Li Shuying's condition really alright now?"
"Doctor, please, in front of our dia, announce Madam Li's examination results ..."
A middle-aged female doctor who had just arrived at the door was instantly overwheld by the multitude of journalists' questions, her eyes barely open due to the flashes from the surrounding caras.
"Doctor Liu, quickly announce Madam Li Shuying's examination results." Director Zhou urged from the side.
The middle-aged female doctor cald her emotions, then looked around and spoke, "We have just conducted a series of tests on Madam Li, MRI, CT... The final result is that the cancer cells in Ms. Li Shuying's body have completely disappeared... Simply put, Ms. Li Shuying is no longer in any danger..."
Silence... a silence so deep you could hear a pin drop.
Cancer... like a reaper sent from hell has always been, even in technologically advanced Stars and Stripes Country, an implacable foe. Yet today... a person, in just a few hours, has completely cured cancer...
Boom... After the silence, there ca a roar like that of a tsunami.
"Doctor, are you sure you weren't mistaken? Is Li Shuying's cancer really cured?"
"You heard right, I heard it too, President Ding really cured cancer, even in its late stages!"
"Damn! Today, I am so proud to stand here; decades later, I can boast to future generations that I witnessed a dical miracle, soone cured late-stage cancer..."
"Who says our country's experts and scholars are useless? The first country capable of curing late-stage cancer, isn't that our great China!"
...
Roars like a tsunami.
For a mont, Ding Fan's na echoed back and forth throughout the entire hospital corridor.
At this mont, Director Zhou was completely dumbfounded, for had he not seen with his own eyes and heard with his own ears, how could he possibly believe that soone could truly cure late-stage cancer.
The dical reports were taken from the First Hospital and were even done twice, so this report is absolutely real, without a hint of falsehood!
"How is this possible... how is this possible... how is this possible..."
Director Zhou was lost in a trance, not knowing how many tis he had repeated those words!
"My father Ding has won!" While Director Zhou was deep in thought, Song Tao sohow found himself standing in front of Director Zhou.
As soon as Song Tao stood before Director Zhou, reporters sward around them. Previously, Director Zhou had claid that Ding Fan was rely sensationalizing, stating that if Ding Fan could indeed cure late-stage cancer, he would resign from his director's position and even personally apprentice under Ding Fan.
Back then, Song Tao was convinced Ding Fan was bound to lose. Not just Director Zhou, even the top dical experts from around the world would not believe that soone could cure late-stage cancer.
But, what seed an assured victory scenario has now turned into a complete defeat!
At this mont, Director Zhou's face looked utterly miserable, he was defeated, and in front of so many reporters, there was no chance for him to deny it, he, a dignified Ph.D. in dicine, could not stoop to petty trickery.
With a deep breath, Director Zhou pushed through the crowd and directly approached Ding Fan.
"President Ding... I have lost, and now..."
Before Director Zhou could finish his statent, Ding Fan interrupted him.
"I've heard about what you and Song Tao said just now, youngsters' words shouldn't be taken too seriously. However, I do want to thank Director Zhou for the acupuncture care provided to Li Shuying yesterday..." Ding Fan said, then turned to Song Tao and spoke, "Song Tao, co over and thank Director Zhou for taking care of your mom!"
While treating Li Shuying, Ding Fan had noticed several acupoints on her body that had been needled, all of which were ant to relieve pain and aid in sleep.
For most doctors, patients in the late stages of cancer are often given up on, and if truly in unbearable pain, they are only treated with injections of Dolantin.
Yet, Director Zhou had opted to use acupuncture to help Li Shuying ease her pain. It was this dedication alone that had greatly improved Ding Fan's impression of him.
Though Song Tao was unaware of these details, he highly respected Ding Fan and obediently went up to Director Zhou, bowing sincerely.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou..."
Director Zhou was montarily stunned,
He did indeed use acupuncture to help Li Shuying ease her pain last night, but that was last night, and Ding Fan wasn't even there at the ti. How could Ding Fan possibly know about it?
However, after his initial shock, Director Zhou was sowhat moved.
Authority without arrogance, humility without forgetting ambition... he was not up to the mark!
Thinking back, when he first heard that soone could cure late-stage cancer, he had mocked and even said that if the Stars and Stripes Country couldn't cure it, how could our own people possibly do it. Considering his deanor back then, Director Zhou felt a wave of unbearable sha.
Looking at Ding Fan now, at the height of his success, not only did he not pursue Director Zhou's previous indiscretions, he instead instructed Song Tao to be thankful for the little kindness Director Zhou had shown toward Li Shuying.
At this mont, in Director Zhou's eyes, Ding Fan seed even more extraordinary and outstanding.
In being both a person and a doctor, one must learn from this man, Ding Fan...
