Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Dramatic Pauses

Yan Feifan’s sudden high fever came on with ferocious intensity, but it receded just as quickly.

By the next day, his temperature had dropped to a low-grade fever, and he felt much more comfortable both physically and mentally.

His two routine intraspinal tumor puncture and injection surgeries scheduled for Wednesday morning had been postponed. However, Yan Feifan still dragged his ailing body to the third experimental session for the infrasound-induced arousal study, insisting on participating.

During this treatment session, the optimal resonance frequency for two of the four deeply comatose patients had changed slightly again.

A little after four in the afternoon, having finished the experimental treatment, Yan Feifan returned to his private deluxe room in the Rheumatology and Immunology Department, accompanied by Feng Jian.

Pushing the door open, he saw Yu Suye in the room’s seating area, chatting with the white-haired but vibrant Mr. Yu.

Standing beside Mr. Yu was a tall, elegant, and easygoing-looking man in his thirties.

Yan Feifan was both surprised and delighted. He took a few steps forward and asked directly, "Mr. Yu, did you come all this way just for me?"

"I can’t thank you enough! I’m truly honored and humbled."

Mr. Yu smiled faintly and said, "An official from the Ministry of Health told me you’d come down with a sudden high fever and asked me to come and check on you."

"Sit down. Let me take your pulse first."

Yan Feifan quickly sat on the sofa next to Mr. Yu and extended his right hand, placing it on the pulse pillow on the coffee table.

Seeing the grave expression on Mr. Yu’s face as he took his pulse, lost in silent contemplation, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but feel a pang of anxiety. ree

Although Yan Feifan had acted unconcerned about this sudden fever in front of his sister and Su Ye, he was secretly worried.

He knew his body had never fully recovered.

He was in the prime of his life with a grand future ahead of him; Yan Feifan certainly didn’t want to die young.

’I haven’t lived enough yet.’

Yan Feifan suppressed his unease and waited for Mr. Yu to finish checking the pulses in both his right and left wrists. Before he could even ask, Yu Suye’s anxious voice cut in.

"Grand-uncle, what’s wrong with Feifan?"

"Is it serious?"

Mr. Yu didn’t answer. Instead, he lifted Yan Feifan’s eyelids, had him stick out his tongue to check its coating, and finally felt the palms of his hands.

After completing this series of examinations, Mr. Yu said with a solemn expression, "Xiaoyan, this is a case of pathogenic qi invading the body."

"The invading pathogen clashed violently with the healthy qi in your body, using your body as a battlefield. This caused you to develop a high fever in a very short time, one that refused to subside."

Mr. Yu said slowly, "Fortunately, during your recovery over the past six months or so, you managed to accumulate some vital energy. It was just enough to see you through this."

"Otherwise..."

Mr. Yu didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear enough for Yan Feifan to understand.

Yesterday had been a close call for Yan Feifan. He had nearly kicked the bucket.

"Mr. Yu, what about my body now?"

Mr. Yu said gravely, "Your body now is like a paper doll. On the outside, you look no different from a normal person, but inside, your vital energy is completely depleted. You’re empty. A single gust of wind could knock you over."

At these words, Yu Suye couldn’t help but let out a soft "Ah!" She grabbed Mr. Yu’s arm and pleaded, "Grand-uncle, you have a way to help him, don’t you?"

"Grand-uncle, nothing can happen to Feifan!"

Mr. Yu gently patted Yu Suye’s hand. He looked at the pale, ashen-faced Yan Feifan and a faint smile appeared.

"As they say, ’misfortune is what fortune depends on, and fortune is where misfortune hides.’ This great battle between the pathogenic and the healthy has been like a torrential flood, washing through your six meridians and five organs, sweeping away all impurities."

"Next, by using potent and long-acting restorative tonics, we can achieve twice the results with half the effort."

These words made Yan Feifan let out a huge sigh of relief.

He dramatically wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Yu, you have a bad habit of being overly dramatic. You could scare a person to death."

Mr. Yu chuckled and said, "Xiaoyan, stop taking the restorative Chinese medicine I prescribed for you before."

"I’ll write you a new prescription."

"With how convenient transportation is these days, the medicine should be in your hands by tomorrow evening at the latest."

"Take one dose every three days, for a total of nine doses. After that, we’ll reassess your condition and change the prescription."

Yan Feifan leaned forward sincerely and said, "I’m sorry to have troubled you so much, Mr. Yu."

Mr. Yu chuckled. "You’re a renowned surgical prodigy, and my future grandson-in-law. It was only right for me to make the trip, for both personal and professional reasons."

As he said this, Mr. Yu stood up.

"I’ve seen what I needed to. It’s time for me to head back to Jingcheng."

This made Yan Feifan, who had also stood up, a bit anxious. He tried to dissuade him, "Mr. Yu, you’ve come such a long and difficult way. You can’t just leave right away."

"You have to at least let us treat you to dinner and get a good night’s rest before you go back."

Mr. Yu waved his hand dismissively. "I’m getting old. I’m not used to sleeping away from home anymore."

"Besides, I have appointments for pulse diagnosis tomorrow."

"And as I said, travel is convenient and comfortable now. It’s not an ordeal like it used to be."

Seeing Mr. Yu’s insistence, Yan Feifan knew he couldn’t press the issue.

He and Yu Suye walked Mr. Yu out of the hospital room, out of the inpatient building, and watched as he got into a high-roof Mercedes business van, which slowly drove away...

As the end of the workday neared, Yan Feifan, who was resting in his hospital bed under Yu Suye’s supervision, received a visitor.

The Director of Neurosurgery, Mr. Lo.

"Feifan, how are you feeling?"

"Mr. Lo, please, have a seat!"

Yan Feifan motioned for Mr. Lo to sit in the chair by the bed, then explained, "It was just a fever. It’s gone down now, so I’m more or less back to normal."

"I could have been discharged and gone home, but they’re all being overly cautious and insisted I stay for two more days."

Lo Jun chuckled. "A forty-degree fever and falling unconscious... that is certainly frightening."

"When you get treatment, you should see it through to the end. Feifan, you should also take this opportunity to get some proper rest for a couple of days."

Yan Feifan smiled and, seeing Mr. Lo’s hesitant expression, asked, "Mr. Lo, is something on your mind?"

Lo Jun sighed softly and said, "Feifan, it’s like this. After the news of you being hospitalized got out, a rumor started spreading that you need a long period of bed rest."

"This has made the patients waiting in line for surgery very anxious. Many of them came to ask about the situation today."

"Feifan, your health...?"

Yan Feifan chuckled. "There’s nothing seriously wrong with me. This ’bed rest’ will be for three to five days at most."

"I can resume surgeries next week."

Lo Jun breathed a sigh of relief. "Feifan, don’t be in too much of a hurry. Your health is what’s most important."

"It’s fine to rest for a while longer."

After a few more minutes of small talk, Lo Jun took his leave.

A little while later, Duan Yu hurried over from Zuimo Court, bringing takeout.

Yan Ziruo, who had just gotten off work, also came over to have dinner with them.

"Feifan, I heard something..."

Yan Ziruo said with a serious expression, "Today, several patients’ family members got into an argument with Mr. Lo in the neurosurgery department."

"Someone heard one of the family members say they paid five hundred thousand to get a spot in the queue, and that the surgery couldn’t just be canceled like that."

"Feifan, I don’t know if this is true or not."

"What do you think? Should we have someone look into it?"
