Lin Jie returned to the Zhujia Port clinic and found that in Lin Miao's ward, besides Li Ting, there were two more people—Xiao Feifei, who came unexpectedly, and her mother.

His face immediately darkened!

Lin Jie knew that although He Tongfang had been beaten up, he didn't have any broken arms or legs, so he shouldn't have trouble walking.

Thinking of this, he said somewhat displeased to Xiao Feifei, "Why did He Tongfang let you come? You should be in postpartum recovery, focusing on restoring your health."

"He dares to report me, but doesn't have the courage to come in person?"

With the help of her mother, Xiao Feifei slowly stood up and said, "To be honest with you, my benefactor, I have officially filed for divorce with He Tongfang! This time I came to express my gratitude on behalf of myself and the child, and it has nothing to do with He Tongfang."

"It's just that my daughter is still too young, so I didn't bring her along!"

Lin Jie had long known she filed for divorce. He thought it was just a temporary strategy, or like normal couples who fight but then reconcile, not expecting she was truly determined.

He quickly invited Xiao Feifei to sit down, saying, "You've just given birth not too long ago, and your wounds haven't fully healed. It's not suitable for you to be out and about."

Xiao Feifei smiled and said, "It's fine. Director Liu from the gynecology department of Limin Hospital said I am recovering pretty well, as long as I move gently, it won't harm my health."

As a pseudo-doctor with extensive Western medical knowledge, Lin Jie knew that in Western countries, women don't follow postpartum confinement customs after childbirth.

They eat whatever they want and engage in whatever activities they like just a couple of days after giving birth, with no issues visiting friends and relatives.

In contrast, the domestic tradition of "postpartum confinement" involves many taboos, such as not washing hair or bathing, not opening windows for ventilation, not using air conditioning, not eating cold foods, etc.

These were actually protections due to past limitations in production conditions and economic situations. These traditions and taboos have been passed down by the older generations and became sacrosanct.

However, with societal progress and improved conditions, some traditions and prohibitions during postpartum recovery are no longer appropriate.

Nonetheless, comparatively speaking, the constitution of Chinese people is somewhat weaker than that of foreigners, so using postpartum recovery to appropriately nurse the body is still quite necessary.

Lin Jie accepted Xiao Feifei's gratitude toward him and her condolences to Lin Miao, accepting gifts like cordyceps and dried abalone fins worth thousands of yuan, and personally saw them off.

When he returned to the ward, he found Lin Miao and Li Ting, each holding a thermos pot, savoring Eight-Treasure Soup!

Lin Miao took a spoonful of soup, and with satisfaction said, "Hee-hee, brother, the moment you brought it in, I smelled the familiar aroma. It's so delicious!"

As for Li Ting, fearing Lin Jie might grab it, she held the pot and poured it directly into her throat, only setting it down after finishing the soup inside.

She set the pot down, burped a tiny burp, and happily said, "I drank the soup! There's abalone, matsutake mushrooms, and pork tripes left for you!"

Lin Jie glared at her and disdainfully said, "I already ate! Besides, it's all got your saliva on it. You eat it all yourself! The way you are, you'll end up becoming a fatty sooner or later!"

Li Ting ignored Lin Jie, contentedly holding the pot, scooping up its contents with a spoon, and eating while saying, "This Eight-Treasure Soup from Rongji Health Soup House costs 666 yuan a portion."

"Someone once invited my grandfather to dinner, and I got to enjoy it once!"

"Wow, it's that expensive!" Lin Miao felt a bit heartbroken upon hearing the price, raised the pot and said, "Brother, I only drank half. You can have the rest!"

"A true sister is different, unlike someone who's heartless!"

Lin Jie deliberately exclaimed as such, unfortunately, someone was unmoved, oblivious to his words, still thoroughly enjoying the delicacy.

A disappointed Lin Jie shook his head, abandoned the notion of saving that person, and said to Lin Miao, "The reason I returned late is because someone invited me to Rongji Health Soup House for a meal."

"Upon learning about your situation, they packed this soup for me to bring to you. So this soup, I didn't spend money on it. You can rest assured and eat!"

Li Ting also chimed in, saying, "Miaomiao, since someone treated him, he not only drank the soup but probably ate other good things too, so you don't need to think about him in everything."

Under the persuasion of both, Lin Miao happily resumed eating.

Just then, the distinctive sound of an ambulance siren came through, and through the window, Lin Jie saw the ambulance leaving the clinic.

At present, this ambulance is still designated as an exclusive ambulance for the clinic and has not yet been integrated into the 120 emergency system, so its dispatch is quite rare.

Lin Jie informed Lin Miao and Li Ting before heading to the downstairs lobby to ask Zhu Heping about the situation.

Zhu Heping softly said, "A call came from the Zhang family seafood restaurant, saying that a few college students were there drinking alcohol and eating seafood. They've been drinking since the morning, and seven or eight people have drunk about seven bottles of huangjiu and many beers. Some have alcohol poisoning."

He sighed in disappointment, saying, "Ah, today's college students, they are truly getting more and more outrageous!"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Jie immediately thought of the few who got stung by jellyfish—not those same guys again, right?

Over ten minutes later, the ambulance returned.

Zhu Qiang and Zhang Daya carried out a person reeking of booze from the vehicle, and as Lin Jie looked closer—sure enough, it was Zhou Yuda, already unconscious.

Zhu Qiang shouted, "Dr. Lin, Doctor Zhu, it's the same group as before. Besides this guy, four more got drunk. Only two girls stayed relatively sober."

"Sister Shanshan said those four drunk ones are not serious. After inducing vomiting, they could walk to the clinic on their own, but this one needs gastric lavage, hydration, and an injection of naloxone, so we brought him over first."

Lin Jie nodded slightly and returned to the ward.

Such patients with alcohol poisoning and the treatment required don't need his involvement—Zhu Qiang and Zhang Daya can handle it…

An Kexin rushed back home and entered the study, only to see An Weize practicing calligraphy, secretly relieved, she smiled and said, "Dad, you summoned me back without saying why, you scared me to death."

She approached the desk, saw a large character "Serenity" written on the rice paper, and looked at An Weize with curiosity.

An Weize slowly put down the calligraphy brush and softly said, "Dr. Hu Yuanqing just left; he came specifically to inform me of some news: the world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Amos will visit China in October!"

"Which Dr. Amos?"

An Kexin suddenly reacted with surprise and joy, saying, "That Dr. Amos who mentored Dr. Siselda from the Mayo Clinic?"

An Weize nodded and said, "That's him!"

"Dr. Hu told me aside from attending a medical symposium in Binhai City, Dr. Amos also accepted an invitation from Kangning Hospital to provide on-site guidance and teaching to the neurosurgeons there for half a month!"

"Dr. Hu advised me to undergo surgery during that period. He said having Dr. Amos in the surgery room to provide guidance would greatly increase the chances of success for my brain tumor operation."

"Kexin, I wanted to hear your opinion!"

An Kexin furrowed her brows and said, "Dad, if I remember correctly, Dr. Amos must be at least seventy years old by now!"

"Moreover, he's only guiding in teaching; the main surgeon would still be Dr. Hu, so I think we should trust Lin Jie. Lin Miao's surgery was successful despite such short notice, so your surgery, he can undoubtedly perform smoothly!"

An Weize hesitated and said, "But you also mentioned that during Lin Miao's surgery, Lin Jie almost reached his limit."

"Dr. Hu also told me that during the critical phase of my surgery, we could possibly have Dr. Amos operate."

He sighed, saying, "Previously, with no other options, I had to trust Lin Jie. Now, with another option, it's giving me more of a headache!"
