Lin Jie, who focused all his energy on the conjoined twin separation surgery, accelerated the pace of surgical trials.

Through computer-simulated surgeries and several animal tests, Lin Jie proved that performing a brain separation surgery underwater was feasible.

Moreover, this underwater surgery, aided by the buoyancy of water, could better achieve Lin Jie's surgical intentions and control some brain damage within an acceptable range.

However, this requires overcoming the problem of blood affecting the field of vision during underwater surgery, which may become blurry.

To solve this challenge, Lin Jie, following his student Guo Peng's suggestion, tested an underwater ultrasonic scanning imaging system.

This was actually a miniature sonar system.

However, after testing, Lin Jie found that the image clarity was somewhat low, only useful for reference and not applicable to high-precision surgeries like brain separation.

This underwater ultrasonic scanning imaging system had to be abandoned.

Lin Jie then tested the method provided by Lu Xiaoyu.

Using an additive in the water, it can bind with red blood cells and cause them to precipitate.

The test showed that this method could handle a small amount of blood loss.

When the volume of bleeding increases, the water would become filled with many suspended fluffy red particles, also affecting the surgical field of vision.

In the continuous busyness of every day, time quickly passed to Thursday.

At ten in the morning, while diligently seeking new solutions in the laboratory, Lin Jie suddenly received a report from Ma Hongmin.

"Teacher, the comatose patient has finally woken up."

The patient, who had been in a coma for nearly three years, had finally awakened, and it also involved a ten million gain, so Lin Jie naturally paid close attention.

In recent days, Lin Jie, who constantly conducted surgical trials, received a subtle reminder from An Kexin.

The Anlin Charity Fund had already paid more than half a million for Lin Jie's surgical trials and the surgical preparations of several other doctors, even after a hospital discount.

An Kexin told Lin Jie to spend money wisely.

This not only made Lin Jie lament how quickly money was spent, but it also resulted in the future gain of ten million being pre-borrowed by An Kexin.

The Weize Group, aiming to expand into the Northeast market, increasing reproduction, and collaborating with Tiande Medical Technology Research Institute to produce Life Healing Boxes and other related equipment, invested a significant amount.

Moreover, a while ago, the Weize Group had settled a large sum with the Du Family Construction Company, which contracted Anlin Hospital.

On top of purchasing a set of high-precision CT equipment from Kangning Hospital, and with the year-end approaching, needing to pay year-end bonuses and benefits for its employees...

In short, the funds of the Weize Group are very tight...

Lin Jie arrived at the patient's luxurious ward and found that Fan Enquan, Fan Haohao, and Wang Hongzhan all wore expressions of indescribable delight.

A somewhat haggard-looking Wang Hongzhan, holding Lin Jie's hand, excitedly said, "Expert Lin, Lulu has awakened, truly awakened, and even started speaking."

Lin Jie looked towards the hospital bed, only to find the patient's eyes slightly closed, seemingly passed out again.

"Teacher..."

Huo Guangheng reported excitedly, "The patient woke up this time for about eighteen minutes. Initially, the memory was somewhat confused, unclear about their situation, and cognitive abilities were somewhat skewed."

"After ten minutes, the patient's condition improved significantly."

"Taking advantage of the patient's awakening, I conducted some basic checks."

"The patient's limb perception is good, vision, hearing, and speaking abilities are unaffected."

"Basic logical thinking is also present, and they can accurately repeat the five words I gave them."

"Overall, the patient's brain did not suffer severe damage. When the patient wakes up next time, I will conduct a comprehensive examination again."

Huo Guangheng's words made Lin Jie very happy, indicating that Lulu's previous brain injury was quite mild, or it had slowly healed during the prolonged coma.

Lin Jie conducted a simple check on Lulu, advised Huo Guangheng and Ma Hongmin, and then left.

At around five in the afternoon, Lin Jie returned to the ward again.

This time, he saw the awakened Lulu.

Lulu's clear eyes gave Lin Jie a sense of liveliness, making him feel that she had become more beautiful, possibly because her appearance had been groomed.

"Expert Lin, thank you!"

Lulu's voice, due to the long period of not speaking, was a bit hoarse, the tone sounding somewhat strange.

Lin Jie knew this was due to the relaxation of the vocal cords.

After some time, the voice would recover to normal.

Then she continued: "Enquan and Haohao told me many things, I learned a bit, if it weren't for your intervention, I might never have woken up."

Saying this, Lulu tilted her head slightly to look at Lin Jie, lightly smiled, and said: "Haohao mentioned more than once about your youth and unparalleled handsomeness, I thought she might be exaggerating."

As she said this, Lulu frowned tightly, and Lin Jie knew this was her headache acting up.

This was a side effect of strong stimuli prompting awakening and was expected to recover in some time.

Lulu endured for a moment and then said again, "After meeting you, I realized that Haohao had not exaggerated at all."

Lin Jie smiled faintly and turned to tell Huo Guangheng, Fan Haohao, and Wang Hongzhan, "You all should leave first; I need to talk to the patient alone and conduct some examinations."

They dared not disobey Lin Jie's words and accordingly left the ward, closing the door properly.

Lin Jie looked at Lulu and asked, "My student, Dr. Huo, told me you've lost part of your memory? Completely forgetting who your fiancé Wang Hongzhan is?"

Lulu gently nodded, saying with a bit of distress, "Yes, that's right."

"Wang Hongzhan standing in front of me was a complete stranger, I didn't remember who he was at all. When he said he was my fiancé, I was truly startled, very much so."

"Fortunately, Dr. Huo told me that this type of memory loss is likely temporary and could possibly recover."

"Is that right, Expert Lin?"

Lin Jie candidly stated, "Brain trauma resulting in amnesia is a fairly normal side effect."

"There are many types of amnesia, which could include losing all memories, losing memories of a certain period, or an inability to form new memories."

"But someone like you, who selectively only forgets one person while remembering everything else?"

He stared into Lulu's eyes and said, "This kind of amnesia, I am seeing for the first time."

Lulu showed an awkward expression, her eyes somewhat evasive, saying, "Isn't it said that the human brain is the most mysterious organ in the world, and no scientist has fully understood it yet?"

"Just forgetting one person, shouldn't it be possible?"

Lin Jie nodded lightly, responding with nonchalance, "What you say does have a point; I cannot deny such a possibility."

"Lulu, Dr. Huo has already conducted detailed examinations on you; apart from headaches, body weakness, some weakened organ functions, muscle atrophy, and... selective amnesia, your other examination indicators are quite satisfactory."

"You can be discharged, go home to recuperate, and spend New Year with family and friends."

"Oh, Expert Lin..."

Lulu asked anxiously, "Expert Lin, is it possible for me to stay in the hospital a little longer?"

"You don't want to go home?" Lin Jie asked curiously.

Lulu murmured and said, "You might find it strange, but now I don't want to go back, you could say I am a bit scared to go back."

Lin Jie lightly responded, "Your body still needs recovery and physiotherapy; it's naturally okay to stay a few more days."

He teased, "You are staying in the best luxury ward the hospital has, with no small daily expense. The hospital surely wishes patients would stay a bit longer."

He hesitated for a moment but then said, "Well, Lulu, there's another thing I need to mention to you..."

"Regarding the reward, I don't know if anyone has told you?"

Saying this, Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed, feeling as though he treated Lulu just for the money.

Lulu merely smiled with her eyebrows arched and said, "I've already learned about it, more than one person told me."

"No amount of money can buy health."

"Not right..."

Lulu corrected herself, saying, "If not for the reward, I might not have encountered a renowned doctor like you, Expert Lin."

"Money isn't omnipotent, but nothing can happen without it, that statement is sincerely true."

Lin Jie solemnly corrected, "The fundamental reason you met me is not this reward."

Lin Jie briefly recounted Liang Ziyang's request to him, explaining further, "This reward, to me, is considered an extra benefit."

"So it was Uncle Liang's request..."

Lulu repeated with a complex expression and looked up at Lin Jie, saying, "Expert Lin, I will contact the bank..."
