At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jie arrived at the rehabilitation center of the University Affiliated Hospital and saw Yao Henan under the guidance of a therapist, using equipment to perform lower limb muscle rehabilitation exercises.

Seeing her little face flushed, and beads of sweat all over, even her bangs were wet, yet she was still gritting her teeth and persisting, Lin Jie said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside him, "Nannan's exercise should be moderate; you remember, don't let her overdo it."

"Sometimes, too much is as bad as too little."

Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "I have tried to persuade her, but I can't dissuade her."

"Last Friday, after I took Nannan to attend her father's trial, she has been working out desperately like this."

"Fortunately, the therapist is with her all day to prevent her from hurting herself."

"Ajie, is there really not much time left?"

Lin Jie nodded gently and said, "The case is not particularly complicated. Once it enters the trial procedure, probably after one or two more sessions, a verdict will be pronounced."

"After the verdict, we can only wait for the final review by the Supreme Court."

He said helplessly, "The lawyer said, at most, it's only a matter of three to four weeks."

The lawyer also tried to fight for a life sentence, but the case is too serious, and the client doesn't have that will, so we can only try to delay as much as possible.

However, the societal impact of this matter is quite significant, and the court and the procuratorate want to conclude this case as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked concernedly, "In the three or four weeks, Nannan's leg? Can she?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Nannan's bone injury is too severe; this was a matter of breaking all the bones and reassembling them, which requires a longer recovery time."

"Her current rehabilitation focuses mainly on the joints and lower limb muscles, and also, it helps the bone mass become denser to prevent osteoporosis."

"Of course, by that time, with the help of an external orthopedic system and an assisted walking rehabilitation vehicle, Nannan can still walk."

Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "But Nannan's intention is to let her father see that she can stand up by her own strength."

"Ajie, you should talk to her. Nannan listens to you the most."

Lin Jie said with some headache, "Xiaoxiao, I'm good at giving instructions but not at convincing people…"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao about to glare, he continued, "Nannan is a well-behaved child; I will talk to her sincerely."

"Now, I still need to check on Dada and Xiaoxiao's recovery."

"Xiaoxiao, call me when Nannan finishes her training…"

Lin Jie arrived at the pediatric sterile intensive care unit, and through the wide transparent window, he saw Jiang Hao examining two little ones.

After a few minutes, Jiang Hao came out of the intensive care unit, approached Lin Jie, and reported, "Yesterday morning, they resumed normal feeding. Today at eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock, the two have had bowel movements successively."

"From the current various examinations, their viscera functions are intact, without any organ dysfunction detected."

Lin Jie nodded with satisfaction.

The situation of the two little ones indicated that the part he was responsible for, the separation of the cerebral cortex visceral cortical function area, was well done.

He instructed, "If no abnormalities are detected within a week, they can be moved out of the intensive care unit and into a regular incubator for rehabilitation."

"Hmm, I will keep a close watch."

Jiang Hao responded and then said, "Expert Lin, this trip to Germany, we have indeed benefitted from your presence."

"Benefitted from my presence?"

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and then shook his head with a smile and said, "Dr. Jiang, you might have been misled. The selection of people for this trip to Germany was entirely decided by the hospital itself, and I didn't give any opinions at all."

Jiang Hao chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, no need to rush to deny it."

"For this trip to Germany, as far as I know, a few people started activities six months ago. However, the final list announced by the hospital surprisingly excluded those who were confident."

"Those who were selected, Dr. Lei, Dr. Pang, and I, all have close ties with you."

"The three of us privately speculated that the hospital most likely saw the earnest invitation from the German side to you, so they formed an exchange group centered around you."

"With your current prestige, Expert Lin, sometimes you don't even need to express an opinion to influence some decisions."

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, touched his face, and said, "Is my face this influential now?"

Just then, Lin Jie heard the sound of messy footsteps.

He turned to look and saw a somewhat familiar welfare center staff, accompanied by a few people approaching.

They also saw Lin Jie.

Among them, a man in his forties quickened his pace to approach Lin Jie, introduced himself, and said, "Expert Lin, I am Wang Yu, responsible for the welfare center's child care and adoption department at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Dada and Xiaoxiao, whom you operated on, have received widespread social attention, and we have received hundreds of adoption applications from couples all over the country."

Wang Yu pointed to a couple in their thirties next to him and said, "Expert Lin, these are Guo Cheng and Li Wanyue, whom we've rigorously screened and selected for Dada and Xiaoxiao."

Lin Jie looked the couple over.

The husband had a clean complexion, the wife wore glasses, and their clothes were tasteful; they seemed to be from an intellectual family.

For orphans like Dada and Xiaoxiao being adopted by this couple, it seemed to be a good outcome.

Lin Jie gently nodded to the couple as a greeting and then took Wang Yu aside to ask in a low voice, "The news of the successful operation on Dada and Xiaoxiao has become quite well-known."

"Their parents might have abandoned them because the children were deformed, and there was no other choice. Now that the surgeries are successful, have their parents come forward to claim them?"

Wang Yu shook his head and said, "No one claiming to be the children's parents has come to the civil affairs or welfare institutions to claim them."

Lin Jie felt quite disappointed with this response.

He asked again, "If this couple has already taken them home for adoption, and in the future, their parents appear, can they take the children back?"

Wang Yu shook his head again, saying, "Once a child from the welfare institution is adopted, the information about the child and the adoptive parents will be kept strictly confidential. Even if the biological parents want to find the child, it will be very difficult."

"Also, these children were abandoned."

"This means that their biological parents have relinquished their parental rights, and coming back for the children might subject them to charges of child abandonment."

Lin Jie softly acknowledged, seeing Guo Cheng and Li Wanyue approaching, he stopped asking Wang Yu about the children's parents.

"Expert Lin, thank you for your superb medical skills, bringing new life to these two children."

Guo Cheng sincerely thanked Lin Jie, explaining, "I suffer from azoospermia and have been treating it for years without success, so we planned to adopt children."

"For the past two years, my wife and I have been waiting in line in the civil affairs department for a chance."

"We saw the news about these two unfortunate children having successful surgeries on television. We also saw the children's appearances on TV."

Guo Cheng became slightly emotional, his tone a bit urgent, saying, "The moment we saw the children, my wife and I felt an electrifying shock, believing they were our children."

"The next morning, my wife and I rushed to the civil affairs department to apply to adopt these two children."

"Unexpectedly, we experienced a joyful surprise in life. Our wish truly came true."

Lin Jie politely said, "This indicates there's a destined connection between you and these two children."

He paused for a moment and seriously asked, "I need to ask both of you, how much do you know about the children's postoperative conditions?"

Li Wanyue replied, "Expert Lin, we have already understood this aspect in detail."

"We know that the hearing in one side of these children's ears might be weak; the sensation in one side of their bodies might be a bit dull, and their movements might be somewhat uncoordinated."

"In the future, the children will need to take some medications regularly and undergo regular cranial examinations."

She assured, "Expert Lin, regardless of what problems arise in these two children's bodies in the future, my husband and I will love them dearly, very dearly."

"We will also strive to nurture them into useful people for society."

Lin Jie could sense the sincerity in Li Wanyue's words and said with satisfaction, "It is the children's fortune and blessing to receive your care."

"I am happy for them."

"Actually, the greatest luck for these children was getting your attention, Expert Lin."

Guo Cheng glanced at his wife and continued, "Expert Lin, because the children's specific birth dates are unknown, my wife and I decided to take the day you operated on them as their birthday."

"That day is indeed the date they gained a new life. Celebrating it as their birthday couldn't be more appropriate..."

Near four in the afternoon, Lin Jie went to Yao Henan's ward and saw her looking a bit weary, lying in bed reading an English book.

"Uncle, you're here."

Lin Jie acknowledged her, stopping Yao Henan's attempt to get up, sat by the bed, and softly said, "I know you've been doing extra physical therapy exercises every day these few days."

"Uncle... I..."

"I know what you're thinking."

Lin Jie sighed and said, "I also understand your behavior."

"However, I need to remind you, your lower limb bones are still very fragile. A slight accident could cause them to bend and deform, or even fracture."

"If such an accident occurs, I won't be able to do anything, and you might end up with a disability."

"Think about it, would your father want such a thing to happen?"

He looked at Yao Henan, who was avoiding his gaze, and continued, "Didn't your father say that he is very happy and relieved, that he can leave at any time without worries?"

Yao Henan gently nodded.

"You must understand that your father says this because he knows you are receiving good care and your body is gradually recovering."

"If he knew that you are risking becoming disabled just to have him see you stand up sooner, do you think he would be without worries?"

Yao Henan dared not look at Lin Jie, her head drooping to her chest.

Lin Jie stood up, patted her head, and said earnestly, "You are a smart girl. Don't let us worry, and don't let your father have concerns."

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Yao Henan raised her head, tears in her eyes as she looked at Lin Jie, "Uncle, I just wanted, just wanted, to let Dad see me stand up, walk on my own, fulfill his last wish..."

"Uncle..."

She burst into tears, hugging Lin Jie and crying out!
