"Dr. Maxwell, congratulations on winning the Jefferson Medical Prize."

On Tuesday morning, as Lin Jie woke up, he learned that over in the United States, the Jefferson Medical Prize announcements had been made.

This time, Maxwell finally got his wish and won the ultimate prize.

After getting up and washing up, Lin Jie personally called Maxwell to congratulate him.

Maxwell's somewhat excited voice, accompanied by chaotic noise, came through, "Thank you, thank you for your congratulations!"

"I am celebrating with my colleagues and my team. I wish you could be here too."

"Dr. Lin Jie, I am sure that in the near future, you will also receive this honor. You definitely will."

"Thank you, I appreciate your kind words."

Lin Jie said a few more congratulatory words and then hung up the phone.

Next to him, Lin Miao eagerly asked, "Brother, now is the time for end-of-year evaluations and awards."

"Over the past year, you've saved so many people and published so many papers. Aren't you going to win a few awards?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I probably won't have any part in this year's various award selections."

"Why not? You're the most amazing doctor in the country!" Lin Miao was a bit confused.

An Kexin came over and explained, "There are many reasons, but mainly two."

"First, this time, your brother didn't actively apply for awards, nor did any other organization apply for him."

"The second reason is that some people in the Chinese Medical Association checked into bribery and networking issues in the award selection, which caused a lot of discussions."

"To quell the discussions, various organizations, including the association, carried out self-inspections and audits, with higher-level bodies stepping in to investigate."

"We can say this movement annoyed a lot of people, and Ah Jie is considered the initiator of this wave."

"These people, although they say they are grateful for your brother's exposing of the problem, might secretly resent him. Would they still give him awards in such circumstances?"

Lin Miao softly responded and comforted, "Brother, don't mind it."

"You're already recognized as the top doctor in Binhai, even nationwide, by many doctors and patients. This recognition is a greater honor than any award."

Lin Jie chuckled, pinched Lin Miao's little nose, and said, "I really don't care about these so-called awards and honors, they are not what I pursue."

"Miaomiao, just wait, I will definitely win some very significant world-class honors in the future."

"Yes, brother, you can definitely do it, I believe in you."

In Lin Miao's heart now, Lin Jie was omnipotent. Even if he said he would reach for the stars and the moon, Lin Miao would believe him.

"Ah Jie, Miaomiao, Guan Muhua, breakfast is ready."

An Kexin, fully aware of her cooking skills, added a remark, "Just eat, no judging allowed. After all, it took effort and care to make it."

Looking at the unevenly cut cold cuts, boiled eggs, pickles, and a bowl of wontons for each person on the table, Lin Jie wisely said nothing more.

After sitting down, he peeled an egg and asked, "Kexin, about Xiaoxiao and Yao Henan's breakfast, are they eating what the hospital provides, or should I buy some for them later? Have you asked?"

"I've arranged it already. The auntie from the Golden Tripod Building home will prepare breakfast for both of them, and Kemeng will take it to them."

Lin Jie acknowledged with an oh and naturally handed the peeled egg to Lin Miao.

"Thank you, brother!"

Lin Miao took the egg and happily took a bite.

An Kexin took a boiled egg from the plate and casually placed it in front of Lin Jie, asking, "I heard from Xiaoxiao that Nannan got a lecture from you and now she's eating a lot."

"It seems Nannan really listens to you."

Lin Jie quickly peeled the egg and handed it to An Kexin, sighing, "She's eating because she cares about her dad, not because she listened to me."

"I hope Dr. Yue can help her overcome the psychological trauma soon..."

Lin Jie worriedly said, "Otherwise, once her dad is gone, who knows what might happen next."

Lin Miao anxiously said, "Brother, after work today, I will go to the hospital to be with Nannan younger sister. I will talk to her more and care for her so she feels our sincerity."

"In just a few months of contact, Nannan younger sister will form new bonds with us."

"I will also do my best to care for Nannan."

An Kexin thought for a moment and said to Lin Miao, "Our initial plan was to adopt Nannan, and according to age, Nannan should be a generation younger than us."

"Miaomiao, you're her aunt, so don't call her younger sister anymore."

"Aunt?"

Lin Miao was slightly startled, then broke into a smile, "I'm only six years older than her, and I'm her aunt?"

An Kexin laughed and said, "Grandfathers in the cradle are common; an aunt six years older is also very normal."

"Ah Jie, do you want to be an uncle or a brother?"

Lin Jie casually responded, "Uncle or brother, either is fine with me, I have no preference."

Just then, the property management called, saying a guest had arrived, claiming to be the wife of Bowei International School's chairman.

What could she be here for?

Lin Jie, who had a very poor impression of this family, replied to the property management, asking her to wait in the reception area on the first floor, stating that they would come down after breakfast. If she didn't want to wait, she could leave.

More than half an hour later, Lin Jie, An Kexin, and others appeared together in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building, where they saw a slightly plump middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious attire, wearing large sunglasses.

Beside her was a man in his thirties, dressed in a manner suggesting he might be the woman's driver.

The middle-aged woman extended two fingers, holding out a check, and said coldly, "This is a two million check. Do not treat the injuries of that murderer's cheap daughter."

She suddenly said through gritted teeth, "I want her to sit in a wheelchair for a lifetime, to suffer for life."

It turned out to be an irrational lunatic.

Lin Jie couldn't be bothered with her, said nothing, and turned around, preparing to walk towards the stairs.

"Stop!"

"I said stop!"

Seeing that shouting was ineffective, the middle-aged woman ran a few steps, turning to block Lin Jie and the others, shouting sharply, "Is the money not enough? Just name your price."

Lin Jie, suppressing his impatience, said, "I understand you've lost a daughter too, and your emotions are unstable, so I won't hold this against you."

"You should go home. Many things aren't solvable by money."

The middle-aged woman's chest heaved a few times, and she said, "I know, money can't buy everything. For example, my daughter, no matter how much I spend, I can't bring her back to my side."

"But..."

She spoke with a sinister tone, "Money can do things that many people can't imagine."

"For instance, even if you cure that cheap girl, as long as the money is enough, she can be crippled again."

"For another example, no matter how high your reputation is, if the money isn't enough, accidents could happen to you."

"Five million, take it or leave it, stop treating that cheap girl."

"Otherwise..."

The middle-aged woman said viciously, "I have already lost my beloved daughter, so there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."

"That little bitch's father will go crazy; as a mother, I can go crazy too."

Lin Jie couldn't help but sneer, saying sarcastically, "Seeing a mother like you, I finally understand why your daughter could become someone who recklessly bullies others."

"Your threats are useless to me!"

"And, let me tell you another thing; you're quite foolish to dare threaten me."

He turned his head to Lin Miao beside him and asked, "Did you get it all on camera?"

Lin Miao took out a phone from his pocket and shook it, saying, "Brother, got it all."

Lin Jie said calmly, "Call the police and say someone is threatening the life of an active senior officer..."

The police arrived quite quickly.

They listened to Lin Jie's report, took down An Kexin's statement and the testimony of the lobby security, copied the content captured on Lin Miao's phone, along with the surveillance footage of the apartment's lobby, and took away the middle-aged woman.

An Kexin, looking at the middle-aged woman being forcibly taken away by the police, said coldly, "Miaomiao, send me a copy of the video. I'll make sure the netizens get to know this crazy mother properly..."

This little episode delayed Lin Jie for nearly an hour.

Arriving at the hospital, he received another piece of news; several relatives of Yao Henan had arrived and were in her ward.

Not wanting to deal with these people, Lin Jie didn't go to Yao Henan's ward but instead went to the pediatric intensive care unit, where he saw the conjoined twins.

The two babies were very beautiful, with big eyes, dark pupils, and nice nose and mouth shapes.

If they grow up smoothly, they would surely be quite attractive ladies.

However, the two babies were conjoined from the ear outlets upwards. Moreover, the baby on the left was visibly smaller than the one on the right.

These little ones weren't noisy, appearing to be quite well-behaved as they stared at Lin Jie.

Zeng Yang, who was standing by, said softly, "Teacher, we have given them new names, the one on the left is Xiaoxiao, and the one on the right is Dada."

"Xiaoxiao has some irregular heart rates, and we are conducting a 24-hour dynamic heart rate monitoring."

Lin Jie nodded slightly and asked, "Can the brain CT and angiography be done today?"

Zeng Yang replied, "Director Jiang came this morning and said he would take full charge of Dada and Xiaoxiao's exams."

"According to Director Jiang, he has scheduled these two exams for the afternoon and evening."

Lin Jie was quite welcoming of Jiang Hao's initiative.

He instructed, "Zeng Yang, keep an eye on whether these two infants have highly consistent limb actions, facial expressions, and reflex responses to stimuli."

"Also, specially note down the consistency of various physical test results for me."

"Yes, teacher, I will keep an eye on it," Zeng Yang replied earnestly.

After observing here for some time, Lin Jie returned to the office and saw Zhang Xiaoxiao waiting there.

"Have you met Yao Henan's relatives? How do you feel about them?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao replied dismissively, "I casually mentioned how Nannan's treatment and recovery would cost tens of thousands, and none of them responded. They all found excuses to leave hurriedly."

Hearing this, Lin Jie laughed instead, saying, "That's a good thing. If they later want to take Yao Henan back, just hand them a thick stack of bills to settle first..."
