Time quickly reached Tuesday.

At 1:40 PM, after more than four hours, Lin Jie finally completed Gan Yong's fine plastic surgery.

When he left the operating room, he found not only Gan Yong's girlfriend Qi Yanan waiting outside but also his student Tian Xiangyu.

Lin Jie first informed Qi Yanan about some of the surgery details and then heard her ask, "Expert Lin, after this surgery, does Yong need to undergo a second round of fine plastic surgery?"

Lin Jie replied, "That depends on how the recovery goes and your requirements."

"The similarity in appearance is endless; it can reach 95%, even 99%, but it can never be 100%."

He cautioned, "Qi Yanan, plastic surgery can be addictive."

"In my opinion, after this refinement, Gan Yong's resemblance to that celebrity, with a bit of makeup, clothing, and styling, should be realistic enough to be indistinguishable."

"Gan Yong's plastic surgery can end here."

Qi Yanan nodded in understanding and said, "Thank you, Expert Lin."

"Actually, before this surgery, many people already said that Yong looked very much like the big celebrity Hu Ge."

"After this surgery, he'll definitely look even more similar."

She happily said, "Once the surgery recovers, Yong's focus will shift to the pastry shop. He'll be busy, so he won't think about plastic surgery anymore."

After dealing with Qi Yanan, Lin Jie looked at Tian Xiangyu and asked, "The twin situation?"

Tian Xiangyu shook his head and said, "No!"

"Teacher, the vegetarian you mentioned before arrived around eleven this morning. We've already processed her hospitalization and she's staying in the deluxe ward next to Yao Henan."

Tian Xiangyu said with some emotion, "Four caregivers, two dedicated masseuses, and a nutritionist, all around her, this vegetative patient really enjoys comprehensive noble treatment."

"Teacher, we conducted an initial body check for her."

"Surprisingly, a patient bedridden for nearly three years had no bedsores, and there wasn't much muscle atrophy. Money really is something."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "What's there to envy?"

"Even if she enjoys the treatment of an emperor, what difference does it make?"

"She herself can't feel any of it! If she could choose, she'd definitely spend all her money for her health."

"True that."

Tian Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh, "Gold and silver mountains can't buy health."

"Teacher, what are your arrangements for this patient?"

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "I promised to give this patient a detailed examination."

"So, first conduct a comprehensive body examination, and then do a 24-hour static brainwave activity chart."

"Further examinations will be decided after I review her body data and brainwave data..."

After instructing Tian Xiangyu, Lin Jie returned to his office and found Yu Momo there, who had brought him a sumptuous lunch.

"Brother Jie, I knew you had surgery this morning, so you'd probably have something simple for lunch from delivery."

"My mom and I made this together. Try it."

Lin Jie looked at the dishes on the desk, placed in several insulated containers.

There was fish, meat, vegetables, soup, and porridge. The dishes looked exquisite and appetizing, obviously carefully prepared.

"Thank you!"

Lin Jie sat down at his desk, picked up a piece of braised beef with chopsticks, swallowed it, and nodded, "It's fragrant, tender, and flavorful. Auntie's skills are truly excellent!"

Yu Momo pouted and said aggrievedly, "Brother Jie, haven't you thought that the braised beef could actually be my doing?"

Lin Jie gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Your cooking skills have been shown at gatherings. Your dishes may be edible, but they haven't reached this level."

He asked, "Momo, now that the talent show's finale is over and Spring Festival is in more than two weeks, do you plan to return to your hometown?"

Yu Momo laughed and counted on her fingers, "This year, I should have no time to go home for Spring Festival."

"I have to shoot a Spring Festival special episode of 'Stylish Men and Women, Change! Change! Change!' and I've been invited to perform in two Spring Festival variety shows."

"Also..."

She excitedly said, "Brother Jie, I'm collaborating with the winner and runner-up of the talent show to perform in Binhai TV Station's Spring Festival Gala."

Lin Jie congratulated her, "Congratulations, congratulations! You're going to become a big star known across the world."

"Oh, I'm far from a big star. At most, I'm just starting to step out of the beginner's village."

At this, Yu Momo hesitated a bit and said softly, "Brother Jie, I know that having what I have today is thanks to your help, I... I..."

"Brother Jie, I don't know how to repay you."

Seeing Yu Momo nervously fidgeting with her fingers, Lin Jie softly laughed, "Aren't we friends? Between friends, talking about repayment seems so distant and unfamiliar."

He seriously said, "Momo, you knew about the life that Miaomiao and I used to have."

"Before, we received more pity and sympathy; friends, well, very few, almost none."

"You are one of the few friends Miaomiao and I have; friendship is priceless and doesn't need repayment."

"Yes, I understand, friendship is priceless."

Yu Momo gently wiped the corner of her eye with her fingertip and asked worriedly, "Brother Jie, about that patient in a coma?"

"You don't need to worry about the patient issue."

Lin Jie explained, "At the time, I promised Director Liang just to give that patient in a coma a physical check-up, but I didn't promise him to definitely awaken the patient."

"That's something even a god would struggle to achieve, I don't have that ability."

Yu Momo said emotionally, "Brother Jie, every patient you've taken on before has been a success with one hundred percent certainty."

"Now, for me, that hundred percent success rate..."

Lin Jie said indifferently, "For a doctor, maintaining a hundred percent success rate is impossible. It puts a lot of pressure on me."

"Breaking that hundred percent with a patient in a coma would actually be a good thing. It's a world-class major problem; failing with this case isn't embarrassing, and it can also help you out."

"Brother Jie, you're so good, you're like my brother for life, even closer than a real brother!" Yu Momo said, voice choked with emotion.

The last thing Lin Jie wanted was to see a girl cry, so somewhat nervously, he said, "Momo, please don't cry. If someone sees, they'll think I'm bullying you."

Yu Momo gathered her emotions and said, "Brother Jie, tomorrow is Wednesday, the day for our regular gathering."

"I want to take charge of tomorrow's gathering, firstly as a celebration for my achievements in the talent show finals, and secondly to express my gratitude and thank everyone for their help. Would that be okay?"

Lin Jie agreed to her request.

After lunch, Lin Jie escorted Yu Momo out and headed to Yao Henan's ward.

After two days of recovery and stabilization, Yao Henan, along with the water tank equipment, was sent back to the ward.

Upon entering the ward, Lin Jie saw her playing games with An Kemeng and Xue Linlin.

Upon seeing Lin Jie, Xue Linlin hurriedly threw her phone aside and anxiously said, "Teacher, Teacher, An Kemeng said playing games with Nannan can help her temporarily forget the pain and discomfort, making the time pass faster."

Lin Jie chuckled, "No need to be nervous, it's not study time right now, whatever you play is fine."

He looked at Yao Henan, who was biting her lip while floating in the water tank, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Yao Henan hesitated a bit, "It does hurt a little, but I can endure it."

"Dr. Lei said it's not suitable to prescribe me more painkillers; I need to endure some pain myself. In the evening when it's time to rest, I can take some extra pain medication."

The post-surgery recovery for Yao Henan was, in fact, fully overseen by Lei Jun.

As usual, Lin Jie, after completing the surgery, basically became hands-off.

Lin Jie nodded, "Appropriate pain stimulation can speed up bone healing. With your current condition, it's necessary to stabilize broken bones as soon as possible."

Saying this, he approached the LCD display in front of the water tank and pulled up Yao Henan's physical examination data along with the latest images taken by the portable X-ray machine.

Though the images from the portable X-ray machine were limited in clarity, Lin Jie needed only to identify the bone shape for any deformation.

Finding no obvious issues in the X-ray images, Lin Jie felt slightly relieved.

The bone healing was indeed somewhat slow, and given Yao Henan's special case, Lin Jie required daily X-rays to confirm the state of bone healing.

So far, this water tank equipment performed as expected, ensuring even pressure on the fractured bones without deforming.

"Nannan, how does it feel in the water tank?"

Yao Henan managed a slight smile, "It's great, the water is warm, my whole body feels warm, and there's not much sense of fatigue. Especially when... um..."

Her face reddened a bit, bashfully, "It's convenient, you know, I don't need to trouble others."

At that moment, the sound of an argument came from outside the hallway!

Initially, it was faint and distant, but soon it grew louder and louder.

Lin Jie furrowed his eyebrows and stepped out of the ward.

He saw a trendy young man and a young woman arguing at one end of the hallway, with a nurse trying to mediate.

But it was clear neither of them was listening to the nurse.

"You actually brought her from the Capital City to Binhai without anyone knowing, what exactly are you trying to do?"

In response to this accusation, the trendy young man replied sarcastically, "What exactly? Expert Lin here is a famous medical genius, a world-renowned neurology expert."

"Don't think I don't know why you all unanimously oppose coming here for Lulu's treatment."

"You're wishing for Lulu to never wake up and might even want her to stop breathing sooner..."

Listening to this, Lin Jie furrowed his brow even more tightly.

Although he had taken over this coma patient, he expressed humility orally, but deep down, he harbored an ambition to awaken her.

The treatment process might involve some extreme methods, requiring consent and signature from the patient's guardian.

This argument indicated that for Lin Jie to gain effective cooperation and authorization, he was going to face numerous issues.
