Chapter 343: Never Meet Again (Request for Subscription)


The phone kept ringing in his hand, the name "Li Ting" flashed on the screen from time to time, which made Lin Jie a bit flustered.

"Just answer it!"

An Kexin, who also saw the incoming call alert, said softly, "You two aren't enemies, so are you planning to never speak again?"

After saying this, she turned and went into the Peony Hall.

Lin Jie took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

The phone was very quiet, not a single sound came out.

Just when Lin Jie thought it might have been Li Ting accidentally dialing his number, that familiar voice came through, "I'm flying to the United States on the tenth with my aunt."

"Oh..."

Lin Jie responded, feeling it wouldn't be good not to say something, he opened his mouth, "Congratulations, I wish you a safe trip!"

"Thank you!"

There was another long silence!

"I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry!"

Almost as if by telepathy, they both said this almost at the same time.

Hearing the other's apology, Lin Jie suddenly felt his nose tingle, and said softly, "It's not your fault! I realized that ever since we established a relationship, my care for you hasn't been much different than before."

"I should say, I haven't fulfilled the responsibilities of a boyfriend."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a voice spoke, "Do you remember that one time Miao Miao and I had a fierce argument? Thinking back to what Miao Miao said then, I think she had a point."

"Oh, what did she say?"

"Miao Miao said your girlfriend should be like an older sister, or even like a mother, to care for you and look after you. And that's something I can't do."

"I think both of us are people who lack love and desire others' care and attention."

Lin Jie ambiguously said, "Maybe!"

"This past year, I've changed a lot, and you've also changed a lot. We both need to adapt to our own transformations. Now, you're going to study in the United States, and I've also entered Binhai University."

"Settling down a bit might help us see ourselves more clearly."

Li Ting's gentle voice came through the phone, "I hope so! I'll be attending tonight's class reunion, will you come?"

"I need to observe Professor Chen's surgery..."

Lin Jie naturally used this lie, but halfway through, he still felt that honesty would be better.

"Honestly, I'm not prepared to see you again. I don't know what to say, nor am I sure if I can pretend everything is fine and just chat with you in front of our classmates."

"I think it's better if we don't see each other for the time being!"

"I understand! Hearing you say that, I still feel a little happy inside."

There was another long silence.

Lin Jie didn't know what to say next, thought for a moment, and said, "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie drove straight home.

As soon as he entered the house, Lele ran over, tugging at his pant leg, trying to drag him outside.

Lin Jie knew that Lele was bored and wanted to go for a walk. He took out the leash, put it on the excited Lele, and took it to Binhai Park for a play.

Although it was nearly four in the afternoon and the weather was fine, it was still winter, and a weekday, so there were relatively few people playing in Binhai Park, mostly either the elderly or children.

Lin Jie jogged with Lele on the park paths, lap after lap, until Lele started to sulk and lay down on the ground, refusing to move.

Out of breath, Lin Jie had no choice but to pick it up and head home.

At this point, the phone rang once more. Seeing that the caller was neither Li Ting nor Tian Qiuhai, Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, Chen Lan! How was the honeymoon?"

"It was alright. During that time, he only had two episodes of seizures. Now, we're back in Binhai. Dr. Lin, we've decided to proceed with the surgery. Dr. Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Jie understood that Chen Lan's fiancé's brain tumor was almost at a critical point.

The good news was that he was now closely connected with Tao Taqing from Donghua Hospital, so some arrangements could be made more easily, without taking as much risk as Chen Lan previously had, secretly using the hospital's surgery room.

"I have a good relationship with your vice dean, Tao Taqing. He already knows everything. I'll give him a heads-up first. You should discuss the specific surgery details and then let me know."

"Dean Tao?"

Chen Lan's phone voice was filled with surprise and delight, "With his help, things will be much easier. Thank you, Dr. Lin!"

After hanging up on Chen Lan, Lin Jie immediately dialed Tao Taqing's mobile phone.

"Lin Jie, you're quick on the news. I just finished a meeting, and the project proposal got approved, and then your call came through." Tao Taqing's bright and cheerful voice came through the phone.

"It really got approved?"

Tao Taqing snorted and said, "They wouldn't dare not approve it! I made such a big concession, if they didn't approve, they would be deliberately targeting us, which would make too many people in the hospital lose heart."

"They all understand the significance of this project. If we succeed, the hospital will reap honor and potential long-term benefits. If we fail, there is no loss to the hospital, so they didn't dare refuse."

"By the way, I applied for a funding of 1.2 million yuan."

Lin Jie said happily, "Let's try to resolve everything by the first week of Binhai University's opening, and get this project done before the summer heat sets in."

"I reached out to you for something else!"

Lin Jie immediately told him about his relationship with Chen Lan and her fiancé's brain tumor.

Tao Taqing let out a breath and sighed, "Even though I was certain Mr. An's craniotomy was done by you, it still made me a bit shocked to hear it confirmed from your mouth."

He continued, "I know this doctor Chen Lan, she is a young doctor being groomed in neurosurgery, facing such things, it's really a pity."

"What do you need me to do?"

Lin Jie didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Dean Tao, I need you to arrange a cranial surgery room as we did last time."

Tao Taqing didn't refuse and said, "A cranial surgery room? Okay, I'll arrange it. And like last time, I'll personally assist you as an assistant."

"Thank you, it's quite awkward to have you, a big dean, act as a surgical assistant." Lin Jie said, somewhat insincerely.

The phone immediately echoed with Tao Taqing's hearty laughter, "No need to be embarrassed, many doctors covet such an opportunity and aspire to it."

"First, communicate with Chen Lan about this matter. Once you have some leads, get back to me."

"Uh, there's also a small matter..."

Lin Jie thought of Zhang Daya and the assistant Wei Hongyang, "The surgical nurse who helped with the last operation, Zhang Daya, and a young doctor on my side, both need more practical training."

"Could you arrange for these two to intern at your hospital? It doesn't need to be much, just arrange two days per week."

"That's a small matter; just have the two of them come directly to me." Tao Taqing said heartily.
