The director remained standing until the elder had left, then finally sat down.

He then waved at Gu Chen, “You’re here to get the test results, aren’t you?”

From their encounter yesterday, he could tell; some things he dare not say, but this young man truly cared deeply for his wife and child.

Gu Chen nodded and quickly walked over, sitting on the stool in front of the director.

With a look of anxiety, “Doctor, is there something wrong with my wife’s report?”

Upon hearing this, the director’s eyebrows twitched, his expression somewhat surprised.

He knew even before seeing the report?

She swallowed hard and pulled out the medical reports for Gu Chen’s family of three from the stack of documents beside her.

She placed them before Gu Chen.

“Your wife has a polyp in her stomach.”

After saying this, she pointed at the spot on the X-ray, “Right here. It looks like it’s been there for some time, at least two to three months, or even longer, but this is what I can’t figure out.”

“The location is problematic; some polyps are benign and easily removed, but some can become cancerous. Given how long your wife’s polyp has been there, it should have turned cancerous by now, but not only has it not changed, it actually got smaller.”

“It’s very strange; in my so many years of experience, I’ve never come across such a case, and even within the medical community, I’ve not heard of such a phenomenon.”

From the look on the director’s face, it seemed like he was truly baffled by this.

After hearing the director’s words, Gu Chen’s heart tightened, and his expression turned instantly pained.

His blood uncontrollably surged towards his head.

He had guessed right!

Based on the timeline the director mentioned, Ji Pianran must have known about her cancer in her previous life, which is why she suddenly left home.

Back then, the family was desperately poor. It wasn’t just that Gu Chen was unaware—if he had known, they still couldn’t have afforded treatment for Ji Pianran.

She must have also suspected the results, so she left quietly without saying a word.

But she had never abandoned her husband and child.

It was just out of helplessness, as fate wouldn’t have it any other way.

Rather than die in front of her daughter and let her accept the reality of having no mother early on, it was better to leave silently.

That way, Tangtang would still have hope in her heart, at least feeling that her mother was still alive.

As for why Ji Pianran’s polyp had shrunk, it must have been because, during this period, Gu Chen had been cooking with Spirit Spring Water, enabling her to consume a lot of it unknowingly, thus controlling her condition.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen’s hand holding the report trembled involuntarily.

“Doctor, what should we do now?”

Director Jin licked his lips, “I suggest a minimally invasive surgery to remove the polyp from her body before it turns malignant.”

“Such an operation is very safe and causes minimal trauma; the wound would heal in two days, and it won’t have any adverse impact on the person.”

After all, this location is really tricky. Although Ji Pianran’s polyp had miraculously shrunk, what if it stopped shrinking?

Such things cannot be guaranteed by anyone, nor can they be used as a treatment approach.

As a doctor, she naturally had to present the safest treatment plan.

Gu Chen nodded, “Okay.”

Gu Chen was also reluctant to have Ji Pianran undergo surgery; even if it was minimally invasive, there would still be a wound.

But he sincerely hoped that Ji Pianran would get better soon.

Although the Spirit Spring Water could control her polyp and cause it to shrink, even so, since his rebirth till now, almost a month had passed. That means, in this nearly one month’s time,

her polyp had been slowly shrinking. Judging by this speed, the Spirit Spring Water could cure it.

But it will be very slow, even taking several months.

He couldn’t wait that long, he wanted Ji Pianran to be able to recover immediately.

Otherwise, it would be torture for both her and himself!

Seeing that Gu Chen had agreed, Director Jin then took out Tangtang’s lab report.

“This is your child’s. Looking at this, your child’s indicators are all fairly normal, just a bit low on calcium. Go to the pharmacy downstairs later and buy some new vitamin AD for him to take.”

“Mm, if possible, it’s best to buy some D3 as well, and take them together, this one today and the other kind tomorrow. Do you understand?”

Gu Chen nodded his head and stood up.

Now he only remembered two things, to have Ji Pianran personally perform the surgery and to buy calcium for Tangtang.

Director Jin hurriedly called out to him, “And yours? We haven’t finished talking about that, don’t be in such a rush.”

She knew Gu Chen was anxious because his wife had been diagnosed with gastric polyps, but he had had his exams done too, and as a doctor, she certainly had to tell him the results.

Hearing this, Gu Chen turned his head back to look at Director Jin.

“Please go ahead.”

Director Jin smiled, “You young man, your health is pretty good!”

Gu Chen: “…”

With the lab report in hand, Gu Chen made his way down the stairs and towards the exit.

Ji Chu had taken his father back to the ward and had come out alone for some air. He was just turning his head to go back when he saw Gu Chen hurriedly headed for the exit on the opposite side.

There were quite a few people heading towards the outpatient building at this time, and a young man, probably with some urgent matter, was running inside with his head down.

As he brushed past Ji Chu and was about to run by, he accidentally collided with Gu Chen on the opposite side.

Gu Chen was already preoccupied with thoughts of his wife’s illness.

The collision made him tremble, and the lab report and medical records fell to the ground.

The young man who realized he had bumped into someone didn’t stop but loudly shouted “Sorry” before walking away without a backward glance.

This was the third time Ji Chu had encountered Gu Chen. He raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at Gu Chen.

The last time it was he who had bumped into Gu Chen, this time it was someone else bumping into him.

The world really is full of coincidences.

Gu Chen, flustered, bent down to pick up the papers, and Ji Chu reached out to help him, picking up the papers from the ground and handing them to Gu Chen.

After all, it was really crowded at this moment.

Without helping him, the papers might have been trampled on.

Gu Chen took the papers from Ji Chu’s hand and nodded at him.

“Thank you.”

To be honest, Gu Chen’s mood wasn’t great at this moment, so he looked somewhat stern and downcast.

Ji Chu, despite dressing maturely, was still just a kid. To come across someone at the hospital was fate after all.

He smiled at Gu Chen, “Do you want to have a smoke?”

Gu Chen, already agitated, immediately agreed upon hearing the offer of a cigarette without thinking.

“Sure!”

He indeed needed a few minutes to calm down.

Moreover, the person looked well-dressed and decent, not like a bad person at all. He even felt a slight sense of familiarity, so having a cigarette with him wasn’t a big deal.

The two of them walked out of the hospital’s outpatient building one after the other, heading towards the pavilion nearby.
