In the VIP ward of the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, Inomata Naoki’s complexion looked much better compared to before. Although still pale, it was a definite improvement from the "zombie" appearance he had when first admitted to the hospital; now, he undoubtedly looked alive. Stay tuned to empire
After a thorough examination of Inomata Naoki’s body, Chen Yu was satisfied to confirm that his vitality was progressively being restored. He then said to Inomata Naoki, "Your vitality is recovering. With just two more days of rest, you should regain about 70% of a normal person’s vitality and be fit for surgery. So, Naoki, rest well these next few days, eat well, and strengthen your body, got it?"
"I got it, Brother Yu! Don’t worry, I’ll do everything you’ve told me!" Inomata Naoki was somewhat excited at this moment. The cancer that had troubled him for years was finally about to be completely cured. There was no better news for Inomata Naoki than the possibility of freeing himself from the illness that had plagued him for so long.
"Mmm, don’t feel pressured, just adjust your mood and try not to get too excited," Chen Yu said with a smile, not wanting Inomata Naoki to get too nervous. He teased him, "Now, Naoki, you might want to start thinking about getting a girlfriend. Remember that mixer we had with the girls’ school during college? There was a girl who seemed quite interested in you. Do you have her contact information?
I think, once you’ve recovered, you should try reaching out to her. Who knows, she might still be waiting for you?"
Inomata Naoki’s face turned slightly red with embarrassment from Chen Yu’s teasing, bringing a bit of color to his pale complexion.
After chatting for a few more minutes with Inomata Naoki, Chen Yu left his ward.
"When do you plan to operate?" Outside in the hallway, Daimon Michiko, who had been waiting, caught up with Chen Yu as he came out and inquired about the surgery plans.
In response to her friend’s teasing, Jounouchi Hiromi just smiled with a hint of pride, lightly patting Daimon Michiko’s thigh, who was leaning on her desk: "Do you think everyone’s like you, Daimon-san, only knowing how to perform surgeries and getting itchy hands if you don’t hold a scalpel for three days? I’ve had my life and future planned out early on!"
"Ouch! Jounouchi, why do you still hit so hard! You haven’t even softened a bit after getting a boyfriend! If you keep this up, I’m going to spill your embarrassing high school secret to your boyfriend!" Daimon Michiko, rubbing the spot where Jounouchi Hiromi slapped her thigh, threatened her with a frown.
Hearing Daimon Michiko mention "embarrassing high school secret," Jounouchi Hiromi’s pretty eyebrows shot up and her large eyes rounded, as she sprung up from her seat, fiercely grabbed Daimon Michiko’s collar, and threatened her with the Japanese tongue trill unique to the language, "You try saying it and see, if Mr. Chen Yu finds out about that incident, I will definitely take good care of you!"
"Yamero!" Being threatened like this, Daimon Michiko could only hastily beg for mercy since it was just a joke between friends, and neither of them was serious.
While the two were joking around, those crowded around Chen Yu were also asking him about the arrangement of the surgical assistant for Inomata Naoki’s surgery.
Such a situation wasn’t really surprising. Inomata Naoki was the actual clinical case for the application of Chen Yu’s two studies, and he was also the only case. Only by completely curing his illness and creating a case report could they prove the value of Chen Yu’s research in clinical application and receive recognition from the medical community.
Otherwise, no matter how outstanding your research, without a practical case to support it, it would just be an academic study, which is significantly less meaningful.
Therefore, it was understandable why these people were concerned about Inomata Naoki’s surgery, especially since Chen Yu’s research had already produced results, and this surgery was their only chance to be involved.
However, Chen Yu had obviously planned for this early on. Setting aside Daimon Michiko, the main surgeon, the assistant positions had already been decided in his mind: "Dr. Higashiyama will be the second assistant, Nakagawa, you are the third assistant. As for the first assistant, it will be Dr. Daimon Michiko, whom I have specially requested."
