Overpowered Resident Doctor-Chapter 183 - 182: Pursuer

When Yu Suye relayed Mr. Yu's promise, Yan Feifan was silent for a moment, then said with some difficulty, "I wouldn't dare."

"You don't dare?"

Yu Suye was genuinely surprised.

As far as she knew, Yan Feifan was brilliant and daring—a total badass. There was nothing he was afraid to do.

"It's true, I don't dare."

After admitting his hesitation, Yan Feifan's tone became much more natural.

He slowly explained, "The few puncture routes I've found are too narrow. They're just wide enough for the Puncture Needle to pass through, leaving no margin for error."

"Factoring in the potential inaccuracies of the MRI scans, the liver can also shift slightly with changes in the patient's position and the progression of the illness."

"And since we can't open up the abdomen, it's a blind puncture..."

Yan Feifan exhaled softly. "The risk of puncturing a hepatic blood vessel is too high. I don't have much confidence in succeeding, so I won't risk it."

Having seen the patient's liver MRI scans, Yu Suye knew Yan Feifan was telling the truth.

Under these circumstances, the chances of a liver puncture failing far outweighed the chances of success.

Unless it was a life-or-death situation, a high-stakes gamble authorized by the patient and their family, no doctor would dare take such a risk.

Knowing her uncle was paying special attention to this patient, Yu Suye asked persistently, "Feifan, is there really nothing we can do?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Yan Feifan shook his head. "I've searched multiple times, but I haven't found a better path for the puncture."

"Unless the patient's..."

He trailed off, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he became lost in thought...

Seeing this, Yu Suye knew Yan Feifan had just thought of something new.

A smile involuntarily touched her lips and eyes.

'That's the man I've fallen for; he never disappoints…'

'They say a man is most attractive when he's focused on his work.'

'The way Yan Feifan's brow would furrow and then smooth out, the way his lips were pressed into a firm line... it was all so handsome, so mesmerizing.'

Quietly standing to the side, Yu Suye was like any other lovestruck girl, her gaze fixed on Yan Feifan, completely captivated...

"Su Ye, I've figured it out..."

The sudden sound of his voice startled Yu Suye out of her daydream.

Seeing that Yan Feifan's attention wasn't on her for the moment, she breathed a silent sigh of relief and quickly wiped away the drool that was about to trickle from the corner of her mouth.

"Feifan, you figured out a solution?"

"Yeah, I did..."

Yan Feifan said excitedly, "The patient's tumor isn't quite big enough. If it could grow by about another ten percent, my simulations show I'd have the confidence to perform the puncture successfully."

At that moment, he noticed Yu Suye's face. It was flushed a brilliant red, like the most vibrant flower blooming in the garden outside.

"Su Ye, why is your face so red?"

"My face... is it red?"

Yu Suye touched her warm cheeks and said definitively, "It's from the heat."

"Feifan, don't you think it's a bit hot today?"

"It's really hot! So hot!"

As she spoke, Yu Suye even started fanning her face with her hand, putting on an act.

"I don't think it's that hot today."

Although it was sunny outside, a cool breeze wafted through the corridor where they stood. It wasn't just "not hot"—it was actually quite cool.

However, everyone perceives temperature differently.

Besides, Yan Feifan knew his own constitution was somewhat weak—he felt the cold more than the heat—so perhaps the temperature really did feel a little high for some people.

Just then, Yu Suye's voice sounded in his ear again.

"Feifan, when you were deep in thought just now, your brain must have been in overdrive again. That kind of intense thought process is incredibly draining."

"You need to take it easy and try not to push yourself like that so often."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "When an idea strikes, I can't help but think it all the way through. It's not something I can just turn off."

"Su Ye, this idea of mine..."

"I'll call my uncle right now..."

Yu Suye immediately took out her phone, dialed Yu Youhai's number, and explained Yan Feifan's idea to him.

"Enlarge the tumor by ten percent..."

"Containing a tumor is difficult, but encouraging it to grow quickly is much easier."

"But this means Mr. Yan will have to stay in Jingcheng for at least one more night..."

Yu Suye hung up the phone, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yan Feifan. "It'll take at least a whole night for the tumor to get bigger."

"Feifan, with such an interesting case, you're not thinking of just handing it off to someone else, are you?"

"How about staying one more night in Jingcheng?"

Yan Feifan looked conflicted. "I already have an appointment with a patient tomorrow. They're coming to the Affiliated Hospital for a detailed examination for a total thumb reconstruction."

Yu Suye tried to persuade him, "It's just an exam; you can't do the surgery on the same day anyway. You could head back tomorrow afternoon. Just looking over the test results would be enough for you, right?"

She then took a step forward, grabbing Yan Feifan's hand and shaking it gently.

Her body swayed along with her hand as she coaxed in a cute, girlish voice, "Feifan, stay! Please, please stay!"

"I'll take you out for a nice dinner tonight, and we can go shopping..."

The sudden switch from a cool, elegant beauty to a childish little girl was something Yan Feifan found hard to process.

He shook off Yu Suye's hand and said with a look of disdain, "Su Ye, why are you suddenly acting so childish?"

"Has the heat gotten to your head?"

Seeing Yu Suye's expression fall, her face looking like she was about to cry, Yan Feifan quickly added, "I'll stay one more night."

He hurriedly added, "It's not that I look down on Baining Hospital, but even if that patient's tumor grows by another ten percent, no one else would be able to perform this puncture."

Yu Suye's expression changed in a flash, like a performer in a Sichuan opera, and she was beaming again.

"Alright, alright, I get it. You, Mr. Yan, are the best, the most amazing doctor in the world, one-of-a-kind, the supreme master of all."

After showering him with some playful praise, Yu Suye changed the subject. "Are you hungry? Want to grab a bite to eat?"

"There's actually a high-end restaurant right here at Baining Hospital. A few of the chefs were hired from five-star hotels."

Yan Feifan shook his head. "I ate plenty on the plane; I'm not hungry yet."

Yu Suye said, "Oh," then smiled and suggested, "In that case, how about I give you a quick tour of the hospital? Then we can head back to the city with Mrs. Lian and visit the Baining Medical Technology Company."

Yan Feifan nodded, agreeing to the plan...

Baining Hospital really was built like a park. At least, that's what Yan Feifan felt as he walked around.

Everywhere he looked, there were pavilions and gazebos, groves of ornamental flowering trees, a fitness path, and even a small fitness plaza.

There was also a sizable pond, at least two or three hundred square meters, with several hundred koi fish in it.

Yan Feifan also saw a few patients in hospital gowns by the pond, tossing fish food, which periodically caused the large school of koi to swarm and fight for the food.

As for the hospital's main buildings—the administrative building, the inpatient ward, the comprehensive lab, and the employee apartments—along with the smaller buildings for the major departments, they all seemed more like decorative structures in a garden.

Yan Feifan said admiringly, "You could close the gates of Baining Hospital and start charging admission to visit the gardens!"

Yu Suye smiled proudly. "The local residents actually do treat it like a public park."

Just then, Yan Feifan saw the young man from the airport—the one who had given her the flowers that morning—striding toward them.

"Su Ye, your admirer is here."

Yu Suye's expression soured. "Feifan, this is the match my family picked out for me."

"Lu Yao. He's known as one of the Four Young Masters of Jingcheng..."
