Half an hour later, Baolu Hospital.
As the best private hospital in Hua City, it boasts top-notch medical facilities and the best doctors.
Of course, the cost is naturally very expensive.
“The daily expenses add up to almost ten thousand, it's practically robbery, and the main thing is they can't even cure him.”
“A few days ago, we invited a miraculous doctor named Cui Fu, known as the 'Sacred Hand of Jiangnan'. Mom and I sold everything we could, borrowed everywhere, and finally scraped together a hundred thousand.”
“That Miraculous Doctor Cui prescribed some medicine for Dad and swore he could definitely cure Dad’s illness. But yesterday, his condition suddenly worsened, and they even issued a critical illness notice…”
Chen Yi said, tears streaming down her face, her fists clenched in anger.
Clearly, she doubted the hospital's capabilities, especially regarding this so-called Miraculous Doctor Cui, feeling he was just a swindler!
Unfortunately, she couldn't find evidence, and Baolu Hospital has a strong background, not easily offended by ordinary people.
“I understand, don’t worry. Now that I’m back, Dad will be fine.” Chen Fan patted Chen Yi’s shoulder and comforted her.
Chen Yi didn't know what method her brother had, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable trust in her heart.
Perhaps Chen Fan’s performance at the night market earlier was too shocking. Not having seen him for three years, Chen Yi felt her brother was like a different person.
“Brother, you just said you helped catch wanted criminals and treated illnesses in prison, was that all true?” Chen Yi asked curiously.
“Of course it’s true, you’ll understand everything in a moment.” Chen Fan said calmly.
Although his father had been issued a critical illness notice, as long as he was still alive, he had full confidence in curing him!
As the siblings talked, they took the elevator to the fifth-floor ward.
Looking at his father Chen Heping, who was lying on the bed critically ill, and his mother Fan Aiqin, who was keeping watch by his side, her face covered in tears, Chen Fan’s heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
His parents, who were not yet of retirement age, were already full of white hair. The three years of separation felt as if thirty years had passed for them.
The once happy family had completely fallen into an abyss because of Chen Fan’s imprisonment!
Chen Fan felt immensely guilty. If he had been a little calmer three years ago, and just taken Chen Yi away, perhaps all the tragedy wouldn't have happened.
“When a person doesn’t have enough strength, they must choose to be calm when encountering things. Only when one is strong is it others who need to be calm!”
This was the truth Chen Fan had realized in prison.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now,
Chen Fan still had the chance to compensate for the harm his family had suffered over the years.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.” Chen Fan pushed open the ward door and said with red eyes.
“Xiao Fan!” His mother Fan Aiqin, who was slumped beside the sickbed from exhaustion, suddenly stood up and immediately felt dizzy.
Chen Fan was quick-witted and fast-handed, and quickly went to support his mother.
“Mom, are you okay? Don’t scare me!” Chen Yi was so frightened her pretty face turned pale.
Her father was critically ill, and if something happened to her mother as well, she really couldn’t bear it.
“Don’t worry, Mom is just too tired recently. She’ll be fine after going home and resting.” Chen Fan said.
Hearing his words, Chen Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Xiao Fan, your sentence isn’t finished, how did you come back? You didn’t escape from prison, did you?” Fan Aiqin, who had recovered, asked anxiously.
“Of course not. I earned merit while serving my sentence and was released early. I’ll tell you the specifics later, I’ll cure Dad’s illness first.” Chen Fan said.
“Ah? You can treat illnesses?”
Fan Aiqin looked bewildered. When did her son gain such great ability?
Chen Fan didn’t have time to explain all this. His father’s condition was really bad. If he had returned a day or two later, he might not have seen him.
Chen Fan sat down by the sickbed, took his father Chen Heping’s hand, and quickly transferred a trace of True Essence to him.
Only then did Chen Heping have the strength to speak.
“I didn’t expect to see my son again, I’m content! In the past, Dad was a bit strict with you, but it was all for your own good.”
“Because you are different from us, you are not an ordinary person, actually you…”
Chen Heping knew his days were numbered. Just as he was about to reveal the secret in his heart, the ward door suddenly opened.
The attending physician Wei Liao walked in, followed by two nurses.
“Chen Heping, good news! Miraculous Doctor Cui has developed a new medicine that has a very high probability of curing your illness. Quickly go and raise three hundred thousand, it will be too late if you delay.” Wei Liao said with a smile.
“Is there really still hope for my husband’s illness?” Fan Aiqin, who had already despaired, saw a glimmer of hope again.
“Mm.” Wei Liao nodded.
“Okay, then I’ll go raise the money. Even if I have to sell a kidney, I’ll scrape together these three hundred thousand!” Fan Aiqin said with extreme determination.
Wei Liao smiled even more happily, quite satisfied with Fan Aiqin’s reaction.
“Wait, Mom, you don’t need to raise the money.” Chen Fan said, pressing on his mother’s shoulder.
“Why? Do you have money?” Fan Aiqin regretted asking as soon as she did.
Where would her son, who had just been released from prison, get money?
Asking that question was practically rubbing salt in Chen Fan’s wound.
Chen Fan shook his head and smiled faintly, “I don’t have money, but I can cure Dad’s illness, I don’t need to beg others.”
“You can cure him? Xiao Fan, you can’t just say things like that. Miraculous Doctor Cui has been practicing medicine for forty years and is very famous in our Jiangnan region, even he isn’t 100% sure.” Fan Aiqin said.
“Brother, I actually want to believe everything you say is true, that you’ve learned some medical skills, but we can’t joke about Dad’s life now.” Chen Yi said worriedly.
Chen Fan had never lied to them, but now Chen Heping’s life was at stake, and they couldn’t be careless.
Even though Chen Yi was skeptical of the medical skills and fees here, at this moment, she had to believe. To save her father, she was even willing to sell her own kidney!
“I’m not lying to you, I really can cure Dad. If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it now.” As Chen Fan spoke, he took out silver needles from his pocket.
“Heh heh.” Wei Liao, who was watching from the side, didn’t originally want to speak, but seeing that Chen Fan was actually serious, he couldn’t help but sneer, “If the information registered at our hospital is correct, you are Chen Heping’s son, Chen Fan, you should be a reform-through-labor prisoner, right?”
“So what?” Chen Fan frowned slightly, displeased.
Some people, once imprisoned, can never clear their name in this life. Wherever they go, they’ll be labeled as reform-through-labor prisoners, unable to even find a job.
Fortunately, with Chen Fan’s current strength, he didn’t need to care about others’ opinions.
“It seems you served your time in prison for nothing. How come you still can’t get rid of your habit of bragging?” Wei Liao mocked.
“Am I bragging or are you? Don’t you have any idea? If you can’t cure Dad’s illness, don’t boast here. What kind of Miraculous Doctor Cui? Just trash!” Chen Fan said coldly.
“Presumptuous! You dare to curse Miraculous Doctor Cui! You won’t be leaving today!” Wei Liao was furious.
