But what good did it do her to know?
She was merely a woman without power or influence.
Ultimately, she succumbed. She scraped together money from every source and handed a 1,000 yuan red envelope to her father's attending physician, an associate chief named Party.
Initially, Dr. Party was reluctant to accept it, hemming and hawing about hospital regulations and such...
But eventually, he took it.
The difference, though, was that to onlookers, Lee Ya appeared to have “forcefully” given the doctor the red envelope—it seemed entirely voluntary.
Once the doctor received the red envelope, his demeanor shifted instantly.
“Rest assured, I will prioritize your father's surgery and ensure the best medication is used,” he assured her.
Lee Ya could only offer a strained smile.
And so, the matter was settled—for the time being.
Interventional surgery wasn't a one-time affair.
It started with three consecutive months of treatment, once a month, followed by an evaluation to determine the next steps and potentially longer intervals between procedures.
Soon enough, the second month rolled around, and Lee Ya was back at the hospital with her father.
Lee Ya's voice caught as she spoke through her sobs.
“How am I supposed to stay strong?”
Jiang Hao was deeply moved by Lee Ya's plight, feeling a weight upon his own heart.
The medical profession was meant to be noble.
Yet it was tarnished by corrupt individuals like Father Li's physician, casting a dark shadow over the entire field.
Such a heartless doctor, who held no regard for human life, was truly horrifying.
Just then, a voice snapped Jiang Hao out of his thoughts.
“Divine Doctor Jiang, there you are!”
Jiang Hao looked up to find Hong Yangwei approaching.
Hong Yangwei spoke with deference.
“Divine Doctor Jiang, Madam Guo is ready to be discharged and awaits your presence.”
Lee Ya, overhearing this, glanced at Jiang Hao.
“He's so young, yet a doctor?”
A sudden panic gripped her. “What if he's one of the doctors here? Did I just speak ill of his colleagues in front of him?”
With that thought, Lee Ya's complexion turned ashen.
