The film viewing room at Kangning Hospital had an entire wall covered with LED viewing lights, now all displaying CT scans, where several bright spots could be seen, some as large as soybeans, others as small as mung beans.

Lin Jie and Hu Yuanqing had been standing in front of these CT scans for over an hour.

Hu Yuanqing rubbed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "From the scans, there are five blood clots formed from bleeding in your sister's brain. Three are not too difficult to remove, but those two..."

He sighed and shook his head, saying, "Lin Jie, you understand the risks better than anyone."

"The damage to the brain caused by surgery might not be as simple as blindness, and these clots have been in the brain for so many years, the actual situation is likely more complicated than what the scans show."

"Therefore, my recommendation is... to maintain the status quo."

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for taking the precious time to study my sister's condition. For me and my sister, time is still plentiful. I'll go back and think it over carefully."

"And what about Mr. Tan's surgery?"

Mentioning this matter, Hu Yuanqing spoke with unusual confidence, "These past few days, I've made some revisions to the surgical plan. The surgery is scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, expected to take eleven hours."

Seeing that he did not mention asking for help with the surgical plan, Lin Jie understood in his heart.

This was Hu Yuanqing wanting to independently prove his abilities, which is understandable. Being guided by someone much younger, it's impossible to not have any feelings about it.

Lin Jie arrived at the family waiting area of the diagnostic building and saw Lin Miao sitting there quietly.

She was like a small grass in the field, seemingly fragile to the wind, yet possessing a resilience that the wind could not blow away, nor could stones crush.

Lin Jie adjusted his emotions, wearing a smile, and walked toward Lin Miao.

Four or five meters away, upon hearing the familiar footsteps, Lin Miao stood up, reached out her hand, and sweetly called, "Brother."

Lin Jie stepped forward, held her hand, and softly said, "Your test results are still the same, no changes. Let's go. You rest today. Wherever you want to go, big brother will take you."

Lin Miao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, let's go boating in Changfeng Park. Grandpa took us there once when we were kids, and we never went again."

Lin Jie naturally remembered it was for his tenth birthday, but shortly after that, there was a car accident.

It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many people playing in Changfeng Park. The two rented a swan-shaped pedal boat and played on the largest lake in Binhai City.

The weather was a bit hot, and though there was a cool breeze over the water, after more than half an hour of constant pedaling, Lin Miao's face was beaded with fine sweat.

Seeing this, Lin Jie took out a wet wipe, and while wiping Lin Miao's sweat, said, "Let's rest for a while, have some water, look at the sweat on your face."

Lin Miao raised her face slightly, thoroughly enjoying Lin Jie's service, opened two bottles of mineral water, and handed one over, saying, "Brother, you drink water, too."

Lin Jie took the mineral water, drank a few sips, closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in the seat, let out a comfortable moan, and allowed the small boat to drift on the water.

Shortly after, Lin Miao's soft voice reached his ears.

"Brother, now that you're healthy, not only have you learned foreign languages, but you've also learned medicine, you can take care of yourself and earn a living, I have nothing to worry about anymore."

"I just hope to live a few more years, long enough to see you find a girlfriend, get married, and have a little nephew…"

Lin Jie found Lin Miao's words strange, opened his eyes, and looked over, immediately startled.

Large teardrops rolled in her eyes, then the big, round, bright tears slid down her cheeks, across to her mouth, and onto the clothes in front of her chest.

Lin Jie panicked a bit and hurriedly wiped the tears from Lin Miao's face with his palm, asking anxiously, "Miaomiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Miao turned her head to look at Lin Jie and said, "Brother, tell me the truth, how much longer can I live? Just be honest, I can handle it, really, I can handle it."

Lin Jie was utterly confused and asked, "Miaomiao, what are you talking about? 'How long you can live,' you're perfectly fine, nothing's wrong."

Lin Miao finally couldn't hold it in and started crying.

"Boo hoo... You suddenly took me to the hospital for a check-up. After the check-up, you discussed with the doctor for so long. When you came out from the doctor, I heard your footsteps become so much heavier. Boo hoo..."

"I used to not be afraid of dying and even hoped that day would come sooner, but now I am scared, Brother, I don't want to die... boo hoo..."

Lin Jie immediately understood.

Lin Miao had always been thoughtful and sensitive, and today's actions led her to misconstrue things in her rich imagination.

Lin Jie's heart ached at this moment, blaming himself for being so focused on the CT images, neglecting Lin Miao's feelings.

He hurriedly hugged Lin Miao's shoulders and comforted her, "Miaomiao, you're fine, you're overthinking it."

"I took you to the hospital today to check the clots in your brain and see if we can remove them through surgery so you can see things again."

"The reason I talked to the doctor for so long is to discuss potential surgical plans. Your health is great, there's absolutely no serious illness you imagined that's leading to death soon. Don't scare yourself."

Lin Miao broke free from Lin Jie's embrace, wiped her eyes with her hand's back, and asked, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

Lin Jie held her hand and said firmly, "Why would I lie to you? Of course, it's the truth."

Lin Miao suddenly became a little embarrassed, covered her face!

Soon after, she gently and somewhat nervously asked, "Then…then…Brother, can I really see things again through surgery?"

Lin Jie took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Yes. Others might not be able to, but big brother can do it. However, it will take some time, at least three to five months, and at most one to two years."

The complex condition of the clots in Lin Miao's brain also made Lin Jie frowned.

Although difficult, it was much better than his worst prediction in his heart. At least he thought of two surgical routes that could effectively clear the clots.

These two surgical routes are naturally challenging and risky, and Lin Jie's current physical and mental state is insufficient to support such a complex surgery.

Therefore, he needs some time to train his body, and he also requires time to perfect the surgical plan and explore other possible surgical routes.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie also needs to resolve the following issues.

Finding a high-standard brain surgery operating room; finding several qualified surgical assistants; more importantly, making all aspects turn a blind eye to him performing the surgery on Lin Miao!

Lin Jie indeed has quite a few difficulties to solve. As he gazed at Lin Miao, full of hope and yearning, he secretly vowed to let Miaomiao regain her sight, no matter what trouble he faced!
