646 Pray (1/2)

In the waiting hall in front of the surgical corridor were groups of people who gathered together and talked in low voices while they waited quietly. The atmosphere was slightly depressing. Only when both doors of the surgical corridor were opened and the patient was pushed out did the atmosphere change a little.

The Du family also occupied two rows of long benches, and the atmosphere around them was slightly gloomy.

Academician Du's eldest grandson was sitting at the front row with both his arms folded over his chest. He looked at the door of the surgical corridor while recalling the memories of him and his grandfather in his mind.

His aunt and mother, as well as his cousin, also shared rather similar expressions.

”Actually, should we just have chosen conservative treatment?” The daughter wiped off her tears and asked her sister-in-law by her side.

Their relationship with their in-laws was not bad. The sister-in-law was two years older than her, and she had always been more decisive. At this time, she was also full of tears in her eyes, ”Dad's liver condition is not good, and he also suffers from many diseases. We consulted other doctors about conservative treatment for a long while, and dad's liver condition would not be… better even if we chose conservative treatment.”

”Conservative treatment. At least his life is saved, what if... during the surgery…” the daughter said, and she started sobbing softly.

She was the daughter, but she was also already sixty years old. When she started to cry, her husband and son were instantly stunned. Then, her daughter-in-law sat in front of her, grabbed her hand, and comforted her.

”Aunt, the doctor is recommended by Academician Zhu. I've met him. He is really young, but he should be quite good.” Academician Du's eldest grandson put his chubby arms down and whispered sincerely.

”How do you know he is good?” The aunt now had her thoughts stuck in one corner.

”Think about it this way. He is so young, and he should be much better than the middle-aged doctors to be able to get the support by the academician. And there's also Beijing University Sixth Hospital. If he is not better than normal doctors, why didn't Beijing University Sixth Hospital use their own doctor?” the chubby grandson said the reason that everyone knew while he thought secretly in his mind, 'If I looked as handsome as he was but did not have expert medical skills, I would have run away instead of becoming a doctor.'

”Yeah,” the aunt answered, then she sighed again. She had almost reached the age of retirement, so she naturally thought more. Age was a limiting factor for young doctors, just like when everyone registered in the hospital, they all wanted to register for consultations by experts or old doctors. The young doctors naturally needed to put more effort in order to receive similar treatment, but this was not an absolute fact.

If a young doctor showed talent that was greater than the talents of peers his age and worked so hard that he surpassed his peers at his age, even displayed abilities that surpassed his peers, he would naturally receive high recommendations. However, would the ability of a young doctor then surpass an elder doctor? This was not necessary.

”I'm just worried…” She sighed. The more she thought about it, the more worried she was. She was worried that she had made the wrong decision…

”What's the use of being afraid?” The eldest son of the Du family who was also the father of the plump grandson suddenly stood up.

The family could not help but have their gazes gather on him.

”Now, we have done whatever we can do. It's useless even if we feel regret now. Furthermore, we have no idea on what's happening inside. This is just like the drilling process, once you have chosen the position to drill and start the drilling machine, what is the use of feeling fear?” The eldest son of the Du family, Du Zecai was dressed in a jacket, and his dark expression was incredibly scary.

The members of the family were not afraid of him, but they remained silent.

Du Zecai was almost sixty as well. He snorted and said in an incredibly imposing manner, ”Stop feeling so tense. Since you are here now, so just listen to me.”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked down the stairs.

After a while, Du Zecai laboriously dragged a luggage over as he walked up the stairs.

Du Zecai did not talk much. He first moved a small bench over and sat at the empty space between the two long benches. Then, he put down the luggage, opened the zip, and took out an expensive pillar-like item that had been wrapped up with red cloth.

He removed the red cloth, and an amethyst geode appeared in front of everyone.
