Chapter 1390: Ready to proceed.
Dr. Kane was an aged personality but the best one in the town. So, when researched, his name caught Li Xue's opinion.
Entering his room Li Xue gave him her accident report which the aged man read very minutely. "You must really be lucky or the Heavens must really have sent their angels to save you that you are alive today. Otherwise, with your given medical report, I can say that it was tough for you to be so mobile right now."
"..." Li Xue didn't say anything but her silence consented that she knew what he was speaking about.
Dr. Kane smiled at her wordless response. Then keeping the medical report file aside, he added to say, "Good to see you recovering well, Ms. Li Xue. Can you tell me how I could help you?"
Li Xue's gaze darted to look at the file that the man just kept aside on the table before moving back to look at him.
Reading everything in the file, she was sure that up till now he must have understood what he was there for. But since he was still asking her to state it, it only meant two things- either he was asking her to be more clear about her intention there, or he was going to reject her request.
No matter whatever he was trying to convey, Li Xue had come confident today.
Staring straight in the eyes of the doctor, she said, "I am here to ask you to help me in getting my forgotten memories back. I have heard you can do that through the process of hypnotism. So, help me. Please."
Dr. Kane smiled but his smile was not that of appreciation. Rather he was carrying a meaningful look. "Ms. Li Xue, I don't think I would be able to do that. And I am also sure you know the reason why."
"Dr. Kane, don't go according to the reports. Those are from one month back. My condition is much better than what the report is stating." Li Xue countered but at her words like that, Dr. Kane simply smiled before shaking her head.
"Even if you are recovering well, you can't take a risk with your life, Ms. Li Xue. And nor can you ask a doctor to do that to a patient. We have vowed to save people with our study and skills not to risk their life instead." Dr. Kane said and his tone totally matched an experienced professional that could easily make anyone agree to their words.
If there hadn't been desperation in Li Xue, she would have also given in to his words but just the thought of giving up the chance today brought back the sight of Zhang Xiaotong from earlier and she went back to take the firm stand by her decision.
Getting firmer confidence in her expression, she spoke rigidly, "Dr. Kane, I have read about your dedication in the medical field but I also have the knowledge that as long as patients sign their consent on the forms, even the medical profession ethics doesn't bar the doctors from taking risky decisions. And here I am ready to sign any paper you want. I just want you to perform the procedure on me so that I can get my memory back."
She said and for the first time the expression on the face of the doctor seemed to change. From the side even Shen Bingling has taken aback. Although she also wanted Li Xue to regain her memories, she never wanted it at the risk of her life. After all, even without the memory of some years, Li Xue was surviving well. As long as she lives well, she can make as many memories as she wants.
"Li Xue, what are you saying? We have come here to ask the doctor about the procedure. You never mentioned that you have planned to get it done today itself." Shen Bingling spoke, turning to look at Li Xue with extreme worry. Maybe because she knew that she wouldn't be able to stop her and that was scaring her off. "And also, Li Xue, you have to understand. Since the doctor is saying that it is risky for your life, you don't have to do it. Aren't you living well enough now? With or without memories, how does that even matter?"
She said, trying her best that her meaning was delivered well, but seeing Li Xue's lack of attention towards her, she knew that nothing was going to work.
Li Xue didn't speak for quite a moment. Her eyes simply stared at Dr. Kane to intimidate him and make him agree to her. "Dr. Kane, I hope now you don't have any problem agreeing to the procedure now. Bring me the consent form and let's begin with the process." She said, already making the decision for both of them.
Dr. Kane had met many patients all his life, but for the first time he encountered a personality that intimidated him like this just by her determination. Even knowing that he wouldn't be able to change her mind as well, he still made a last attempt. Taking a deep exhausted breath, he said, "Of course, after you sign the consent form, I won't have a problem in proceeding with the procedure. But I will still ask if you really want to do that. Because once I proceed with it, we won't be able to stop it mid-way. And that's where the complication lies because we yet not know how much you can take."
He said but Li Xue remained nonchalant to his warning. "Don't worry, doctor. We will know it once we proceed with it. I am ready. Please bring me the consent form."
Seeing her not budging from her stance, in the end the doctor nodded before giving a call to the nurse, asking her to bring her the consent form. Soon the form was signed and Li Xue was all ready to get up and reach the recliner on the side for the process. But just when she was about to lie down, the door of Dr. Kane's office was pushed open interrupting everyone.
While Li Xue turned to look at who it was, Dr. Kane already recognized the person and asked with furrowed brows. "Dr. Ning, what happened? Is there some issue?"
The woman panted in her breaths and nodded before darting her eyes to Li Xue. Seeing that she wasn't late to reach here, an expression of relief covered her face as she turned to look back at the aged doctor, she spoke in a broken voice. "Dr. Kane, sorry to come here like this. But this was something important. You have to know this before proceeding with any of your procedures on Ms. Li Xue."
