The mention of the renowned specialist, capable of rousing even a ten-year vegetative state, stirred a glimmer of hope within Gu Zhaoming’s eyes.
“Doctor, is there a more adept surgeon available?” he inquired cautiously. “Money is no object for us. I’m prepared to sell my company and face bankruptcy if it means restoring my wife’s health.”
The doctor’s response was hesitant. “There is indeed a remarkable physician, often referred to as the ‘Godly Doctor.’ With her expertise, the success rate exceeds 90%, but…”
Gu Pei, on the verge of tears, interjected desperately, “Then why hesitate? Let her perform the surgery!”
However, the doctor’s solemn expression conveyed a sobering reality. “It’s not solely a matter of finances. The Godly Doctor operates independently of our hospital’s jurisdiction. While she utilizes our facilities and equipment, she’s not under our control.”
He sighed heavily, addressing Gu Zhaoming directly. “Many seek her services, and while wealth and influence abound, securing her assistance is uncertain. It’s not merely a question of willingness, but also accessibility.”
Even families of considerable influence in the capital reportedly had to make significant sacrifices to secure the services of the Godly Doctor for their loved ones in vegetative states.
Gu Zhaoming’s mind raced, a sudden realization striking him. “Could it be the same Godly Doctor who performed Old Master Tang’s brain tumor surgery last year? Is she still in Jin City?”
Confirming his suspicions, the doctor nodded gravely. “Yes, indeed.”
Aware of the enigmatic reputation surrounding the Godly Doctor, Gu Zhaoming felt a surge of agitation. Her elusive nature and stringent conditions for intervention were well-known; she operated beyond the constraints of convention.
Yet, the revelation that she remained within Jin City ignited a glimmer of hope within him.
Determined to exhaust every possibility, Gu Zhaoming steadied himself and declared resolutely, “Where can I find her? I’ll beseech her personally. I’m prepared to offer any sum if it means my wife receives the surgery she needs.”
The doctor empathized with Gu Zhaoming’s plight, his expression reflecting the weight of their predicament. “I regret to say that confidentiality protocols prohibit us from disclosing further details. Moreover, the Godly Doctor’s movements are unpredictable. We’re unaware of her current whereabouts.”
The doctor’s admission of the Godly Doctor’s presence in Jin City had been an act of compassion, acknowledging Gu Zhaoming’s profound love for his wife.
Having witnessed countless trials of life and death, the doctors in the emergency room understood the capricious nature of humanity. Many among the affluent elite chased after wealth and power, often neglecting the bonds of love. Few were willing to sacrifice their fortunes for their spouses.
Gu Zhaoming felt as though his hopes had been extinguished, a profound sense of defeat washing over him. He bowed his head in despair, grappling with his emotions.
Beside him, Gu Pei clung to the doctor’s sleeve, his grip tight with desperation. Tears streamed down his face as he choked out his words. “Then who can tell us where she is? Since she used your hospital’s facilities, she’s bound to return, isn’t she?”
“You may not know, but someone must,” Gu Zhaoming pleaded desperately. “Please, I implore you!”
The doctor’s expression remained troubled. “I truly cannot disclose such information. I urge you to focus on signing for the surgery. Even if you manage to contact the Godly Doctor, time is of the essence.”
“Uncle Gu, what’s the matter?” Xiao Yize’s voice cut through the tension as he approached, having completed the arrangements for Ruan Xueling’s hospitalization. Observing Gu Zhaoming’s distress, he swiftly offered his assistance, helping him to his feet.
Gu Zhaoming composed himself, shaking his head slightly. “Xiao, I appreciate your support through this ordeal.”
Xiao Yize dismissed any notion of formality. “Uncle Gu, there’s no need for such formalities between us.”
The doctor, meanwhile, was taken aback by Xiao Yize’s presence. Wasn’t this the family member of the patient in the VIP ward of the neurology department?
Recognizing the futility of pleading with the Godly Doctor, Gu Zhaoming resolved to prioritize the surgery. With a trembling hand, he retrieved the fallen pen and surgical consent form, poised to sign it without further delay.
At that moment, the doctor swiftly intercepted Gu Zhaoming’s hand, halting the pen in its tracks. “Hold on.”
Perplexed, Gu Zhaoming furrowed his brow. “What’s the matter?”
Casting a discreet glance at Xiao Yize, the doctor leaned in closer to Gu Zhaoming, his voice lowered to a whisper. “This gentleman, he knows where the Godly Doctor can be found.”
