Chapter 835: Eh? Where are the cancer cells?!
Morning. After 7 am.
Dong Xuebing woke up in his ward. He yawned and stretched. He felt his body had recovered and quickly changed back into his clothes. After changing, he arranged for himself to be discharged. He stood outside the hospital and looked at the window of Geng Yuehua’s ward before hailing a taxi to go to the nearest bank.
At the same time.
District Second Hospital’s top executive ward.
Geng Yuehua woke up and looked around her.
“Sis, you are awake.” Geng Xinke walked over. “Are you thirsty?”
Geng Yuehua waved her hand. “You still have lots of work waiting for you in the Subdistrict. Go back to work.”
Geng Xinke replied. “Sis, how can I work after what happened to you?”
Geng Yuehua stared at her brother. “The Organization had handed the Subdistrict Office to you, and this is their trust in you. No matter what happens, you are responsible for it. This is not the time for you to put your work aside. The district is still rebuilding after the earthquake, and everyone is looking at us. If you don’t understand the importance of your work, how can I leave Mum and Dad to you?”
Geng Xinke replied sadly. “Then don’t leave.”
Geng Yuehua’s face changed, and she shouted. “I am saying this the last time! Go back to work!”
Lin Pingping softly said. “Sister Yuehua, Xinke is worried about you. He didn’t have a bite since yesterday.”
Geng Yuehua did not get mad with Lin Pingping. She glanced at her and sighed. “This is my fate, and there’s no way to hide from it. Xinke, Pingping, take care of Mum, Dad and yourselves after I am gone. Look for Xiao Dong if you encounter any difficulties. I spoke to him yesterday. He will help you.”
Geng Xinke did not like Geng Yuehua’s tone. “Why are you saying this like it’s your last words. “
“It’s my last words.” Geng Yuehua said. “Remember what I said.”
“Sis, the doctor said you still have a few months. It’s too early for this.”
Geng Yuehua shook her head. “I felt it yesterday. I don’t have a few months to live.”
The door opened, and Geng Yuehua’s parents entered the ward with a hot water bottle.
Geng Yuehua’s mother had overheard their conversation. She shouted at Geng Yuehua. “What are you talking about?! I don’t want to hear you saying such things. I will not live if you are not around!”
Geng Yuehua got mad. “Mum, what are you saying?”
Geng Xinke panicked. “That’s right. Mum, stop making things worse.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother cried without saying anything.
Geng Yuehua’s father suddenly asked. “Let’s stop talking about this. Yuehua, you are looking much better today, and you did not cough after talking for so long. Are you feeling better?”
“That’s right. You don’t look pale today.” Geng Xinke added.
Geng Yuehua paused for a second and frowned. She felt her body, and her frown deepened.
Before they could say anything, a few doctors and nurses entered the ward. They were holding a list of checks. “Mr. Geng, Mrs. Geng, Secretary Geng. Sorry to bother you all. Our checks yesterday were initial diagnoses, and they were not detailed checks. We will conduct a series of checks, including taking your blood sample, x-rays, CT scans, etc. This is to check on the recovery of your stomach wound and the spread of your cancer cells. We need the details to come up with a treatment plan. Please bear with it.”
Geng Yuehua replied. “Forget it. It will be a waste of time anyway.”
The doctor said. “But….”
Geng Yuehua’s mother wiped her tears. “Don’t listen to her. Please conduct a thorough check on her.”
Geng Yuehua’s father added. “That’s right. Please check her condition and see if chemotherapy can still work.”
The doctor nodded and asked the nurses to push Geng Yuehua’s bed out of her ward. Her parents followed closely behind her. Many government staff had visited the hospital early in the morning, but she asked them to leave. The doctors spent more than an hour conducting more than a dozen tests on her. This was considered fast. Ordinary folks will need at least three to five hours for the same tests. This was the privilege of being the Nan Shan District’s No. 1.
Morning, 10 am.”
The tests were completed, and they were waiting for the results.
Geng Xinke and Lin Pingping pushed the tired Geng Yuehua back to her ward.
The doctor said. “We will have a meeting with the specialists after we get the results. We….”
Geng Yuehua interrupted. “Have the meeting here after you all get the results. I can take it.”
The doctor looked at Geng Yuehua’s parents. Geng Yuehua’s father hesitated for a while and nodded. “Ok. We also want to know about the results.”
“Alright. I will ask them to bring the results over in a while.” The doctor said.
Geng Yuehua monotonously said. “Sorry for all the trouble.”
The doctor immediately replied. “What are you saying? This is our duty and responsibility.”
Waiting for results was torture.
Five minutes…
Ten minutes….
Twenty minutes….
Soon, the ward was filled with specialists.
A few minutes later, copies of the test results were brought into the ward.
A Deputy Hospital Director looked at the result and was puzzled. “From the blood sample, Secretary Geng does not have infections from her stomach wound, and she is recovering better than expected. We can remove the stitches soon.” He paused for a second and continued. “She should be in her recovery phase now. Why is her blood test result better than healthy people?”
Geng Yuehua’s mother replied. “Maybe it is because of Xiao Dong’s blood.”
“But it should not be.” The Deputy Director stood up and checked on Geng Yuehua’s wound. He gasped. “It’s starting to heal!”
Another doctor was surprised too. “It’s only been two days. How can it be?”
The other doctors went closer to check on Geng Yuehua’s wound. Her wound was healing well, and it looked like it had been healing for a week. All the doctors were puzzled. Although the wound was still there and not fully closed, her internal organs had started to stabilize. Her recovery was too fast. Such a major operation will affect the internal organs and take a long time to heal.
The Deputy Director asked. “How are you feeling today?”
Geng Yuehua looked at the doctor. “Not bad. I feel better today.”
The Deputy Director nodded. “If this continues, you should have no problem undergoing radiotherapy.”
After the Deputy Director said, two nurses entered the ward with the CT scan and other test results.
The ward became silent again. Everyone in the ward knows Geng Yuehua’s stomach surgery was minor compared to her lung cancer.
The doctors read through the test results quietly.
Rustling… rustling…. Only the sound of paper rustling can be heard in the ward.
Geng Xinke looked nervous, and his mother looked like she was going to faint. Lin Pingping quickly supported her while waiting for the doctors.
Geng Yuehua was looking out of the windows quietly.
A few seconds later, an Oncology specialist gasped and pushed his glasses up. He was staring at the CT scan.
Another doctor looked at the chest x-rays and was also stunned.
After him, it was the Deputy Hospital Director. He was holding on to pages of data, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
At this moment, all the doctors were stunned.
Geng Yuehua’s mother was scared and almost fell. “Doctor! Is my daughter’s condition severe? Has the cancer spread to other parts of her body? Is she going to die?”
The Geng family looked at the doctors nervously.
The Oncology doctor mumbled to himself. “Where are the shadows? Why is it gone?”
The Deputy Hospital Director said. “This…. Where are the cancer cells? What is wrong with this result?”
“It is the same for this report.” Another doctor exclaimed. “Her chest x-rays are fine. I can’t even see the cancer cells.”
Geng Yuehua’s parents panicked. “What do you mean by gone?”
The Deputy Director massaged his temples and replied. “From the results, Secretary Geng does not have cancer, and she is very healthy.”
A doctor yelled. “This is weird. Director, should we repeat the tests?”
The Deputy Director wiped his sweat. “Bring yesterday’s test results over to make a comparison. Why is this happening? Even if it was an initial diagnosis yesterday, it should not be so different.”
If this were a misdiagnosis, the hospital would be in trouble.
They had misdiagnosed the District Party Secretary as having cancer.
This was a serious matter, and the doctors sent Geng Yuehua for tests again. But the results were the same as the first time.
The cancer cells had disappeared.
It was as if the cancer cells had not been there in the first place.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Geng Yuehua was surprised. She took all the test results and examined them without saying a word.
