Lin Jie arrived at Yao Henan's hospital room and was surprised to find her alone, floating in the tank and playing on a tablet.

"Where's Xiaoxiao?"

Yao Henan pushed aside the tablet stand and said, "Xiaoxiao went home. She left about an hour ago, after I took my medicine."

"Uncle, are you looking for Xiaoxiao for something?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No, nothing. It's just that you two are always together, so I asked when I didn't see her."

"How are you feeling?"

Yao Henan pouted slightly and said, "Uncle, the pain has eased a lot, but sometimes it feels a bit itchy."

"However, I can adjust the ventilation and the air temperature in the itchy areas to relieve it, so it's not too uncomfortable."

Lin Jie nodded and explained, "The itchiness is mainly due to the healing of the incision."

"Also, your legs have been wrapped in the waterproof layer for days. Although there's ventilation and medication, there are always areas that can't be attended to, along with accumulated dead skin that can inevitably cause itching."

"Just bear with it a little longer."

Seeing Lin Jie start to check her examination information, Yao Henan urgently asked, "Uncle, how much longer do I need to stay in this big tank?"

Lin Jie casually replied, "You're recovering quite well, but to be safe, you still need about ten more days."

"However..."

He thought for a moment and said, "I would suggest you stay a little longer."

"Given your situation, once you're out of this tank, your body from the waist down will need to be plastered or supported with a frame. Then, you'll have to lie or crawl on the bed, which is quite inconvenient."

"Now, while you're in this tank, although you can't move your lower body, you can stand, lie down, or turn around easily. At least your upper body is entirely free."

"Plus, it's quite convenient for eating and other needs."

Listening to Lin Jie's words, Yao Henan thought about how stiff she would be lying in a hospital bed after leaving the tank, needing several people just to turn her over.

And handling other needs...

She shivered at the thought and quickly said, "Uncle, Uncle, I can stay in the tank a little longer, really."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "With me here, we can do whatever is most comfortable for you."

"In ten days, we can remove the waterproof layer, clean you up, and apply a new layer. You'll feel more comfortable and won't itch as much."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Yao Henan, feeling slightly embarrassed, said, "Uncle, it's not necessary to go through so much trouble. I heard this waterproof layer is expensive. I don't mind the itching; I can bear it."

She decided, "Uncle, in ten days, I won't stay in this tank anymore. Just put me in a regular hospital room."

Lin Jie understood why she changed her mind and reassured her, "Nannan, don't worry about the money."

"All your treatment and recovery costs are covered by the Anlin Charity Fund, and Dr. Lei's research project at the hospital."

"Even if I personally covered the expenses, spending this amount on you wouldn't be a burden for me."

"For a doctor of my level, making money is quite easy."

Yao Henan nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao and Aunt Kemeng told me that in less than two years, you went from selling a house to pay for surgery to having a mansion, a villa, and luxury cars."

"Uncle, after I recover, can I study medicine with you?"

Lin Jie casually said, "Of course! But first, you need to finish high school and get into college."

Yao Henan acknowledged, "Xiaoxiao told me about the future plans. She suggested that after I recover, I should study abroad. I'm even learning foreign languages now."

"Uncle, do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Jie seriously replied, "Nannan, considering the current situation, staying in Binhai for studies might be challenging. I agree with Xiaoxiao's suggestion."

"Whether you choose to go abroad or move to another city in the country depends on your decision."

At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and An Kemeng walked in, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.

She handed the flowers to Yao Henan and asked, "Nannan, do you like them?"

"Yes, they're beautiful! Thank you, Auntie!"

Yao Henan happily accepted the flowers and carefully placed them into an empty vase hanging on the left outside of the tank.

An Kemeng explained to Lin Jie, "Xiaoxiao called me and asked me to stay with Nannan until tomorrow morning. Brother Jie, I also heard about your student's situation."

"Is she alright?"

Lin Jie nodded, "She's out of danger and is fine now."

"That's good to hear!"

An Kemeng angrily said, "These days, incidents of assaulting doctors are increasingly common."

"Brother Jie, I've decided that while exercising, I'll also refresh the self-defense skills I learned from my sister."

"Darn it, when I become a doctor, if I encounter such bad people, I'll knock them all down one by one."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "I support you, practice well!"

"Practicing not only helps with self-defense, but if you have a boyfriend in the future and he doesn't behave, you can teach him a lesson too."

An Kemeng waved her small fist and snorted, "Exactly, if he dares to upset me, I'll beat him up hard."

"Hey, Brother Jie..."

She suddenly asked with enthusiasm, "My sister is really strong; she makes the punching bag go bang. Have you ever been hit by her?"

"I haven't provoked your sister; why would she hit me?"

Lin Jie glanced at the time and said, "Since you're here, you should spend some quality time with Nannan. I need to see my injured student..."

He left the hospital room and coincidentally saw Liang Ziyang coming out of the adjacent room.

While waiting for the elevator together, Liang Ziyang asked, "Expert Lin, I'd like to ask, Lulu says she's remembered some things and doesn't want to return to Capital City!"

"Didn't you check Lulu's memory? Other than not remembering that guy, isn't it intact?"

Lin Jie explained, "Lulu was in a coma for three years, so some memory loss is normal."

"When we check memories, we can only do a general check. We assess the patient's memory by their vague descriptions of past events to see if there are any significant gaps."

"If a few days, a few hours, or just a few scenes are missing and the patient doesn't notice, we can't detect it either."

"However, such memory loss isn't due to organic brain damage but is a subconscious self-blocking by the brain. Generally, with time or some triggers or upon seeing related objects, the memories can resurface."

Liang Ziyang nodded and asked, "So, Lulu will eventually remember that guy?"

Lin Jie responded perfunctorily, "Yes, eventually, all memories concerning that guy will be restored."

"It might be the next second, a few days later, or even years later..."

Lin Jie arrived at He Yimin's hospital room and found her asleep, with Gao Yanhong by her side.

He did a simple check-up on He Yimin, then left the room, exited the hospital, and took a ride back to Xiangtai Apartment.

Guan Muhua got off the car with Lin Jie and said, "Lin Jie, Lin Miao texted me, saying after dropping you off, she wants to go home with you to discuss something."

Lin Jie nonchalantly replied, "Then let's go together. Perfect timing to stay for dinner."

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Jie sensed something was off in the atmosphere.

Lin Miao, An Kexin, and Zhang Xiaoxiao were sitting together on the living room sofa. Not one of them stood to greet him. Even Lele, who wanted to stand up to welcome him, was pressed back down by Lin Miao, looking at Lin Jie with a pitiful whimper.

Lin Jie also noticed Qin Gang was there.

He was sitting on the single-seater sofa on the left, giving Lin Jie a look that said "good luck."

Lin Jie sat down across from the three, looking at their serious faces and asked with concern, "What's going on with you all? Your expressions are so solemn. Did something major happen?"

"Something major happened?"

Lin Miao said with a sharp tone, "How can you even ask us what major thing happened? Isn't your reckless driving on the highway enough trouble?"

She shouted emotionally, "Do you know that if something went wrong, you'd die, you'd die."

Saying this, Lin Miao burst into tears and cried out, "Brother, you could die, you could die..."

Seeing Lin Miao's tears streaming down, Lin Jie felt a twinge of heartache and immediately squatted down in front of her, hugging her and comforting, "Miaomiao, don't cry, there's no need to worry."

"See, I'm perfectly fine now, not a single hair less."

Lin Jie gently patted Lin Miao's back and promised, "I know I worried you. Next time, I definitely won't act so impulsively."

"Next time? Do you think we would believe you?"

An Kexin snorted angrily, "We learned from Brother Kong that you were just as crazy last time when Miaomiao had an accident."

"It's a habit of yours..."

Lin Jie grinned at An Kexin and said, "Nothing's more important than a life; I..."

"Stop grinning like that!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao scolded, her voice raised, "Other people's lives matter, but yours doesn't?"

Looking at Lin Miao, who was sobbing in Lin Jie's arms, she said frustrated, "Miaomiao, stop crying."

"Weren't we supposed to have a serious intervention? You're ruining the serious mood by crying."

Lin Miao pulled away from Lin Jie's embrace, wiped her eyes, and sniffed, "Xiaoxiao, actually, I was very mad, really mad. I don't know why, but seeing my brother makes me cry."

"Brother, can you promise not to make us worry again?"

Lin Jie raised his right hand and promised, "I promise, definitely won't do anything reckless again..."

Due to Lin Miao's emotional outburst, the intervention turned out a bit anticlimactic, but Lin Jie still swore an oath, pledging to prioritize his safety above all.

As for Guan Muhua and Qin Gang, they received the strictest warning.

They were given unanimous authorization from Lin Miao, An Kexin, and Zhang Xiaoxiao that if they noticed Lin Jie showing any sign of reckless behavior that risks his safety, they must stop him, even if it means knocking him out and dragging him back home.

If they were to follow Lin Jie's orders and not intervene, the three harshly warned them there would be only one outcome for them: getting fired.
