Chapter 303 A Hard-Earned Opportunity
Cao Cang felt a little sad when he looked at her pale but carefree face.
I silently begged her to ensure that this operation would be foolproof.
In this way, she can grow up happily, and he has nothing else to ask for. He has never thought about making a name for himself, bringing honor to the family, or being a new-age woman. These empty things.
His only wish is that this silly girl can live well. She is not a disobedient child. In fact, she is very sensible. So what if he takes care of her for the rest of her life?
Just be alive.
It's good to depend on each other, not to mention that I now have a group of brothers in the serious crime team. Life is actually pretty good.
Thinking of this, Cao Cang looked at Cao Mo with a little more smile on his face. While the two were playing, Zhang Liang called. This time Cao Mo was present, and Cao Cang had no way to go out to answer the phone. He could only answer Zhang Liang's call under her gaze.
"Cao Cang, there is something I need to tell you. Cao Mo's surgery can be arranged in the next two days. Now there is an opportunity. I have fought for it for you. See if it works."
When they heard that the operation could be arranged in these two days, Cao Mo and Cao Cang's faces changed at the same time. They looked at each other, and there was some worry in Cao Mo's eyes. She knew that this operation would cost a lot of money. Having missed the last opportunity, it would be a waste of financial and material resources to find a new opportunity. Thinking of this, she wanted to organize Cao Cang to continue talking, but Cao Cang frowned and stopped her, motioning her to stand still and not move.
Cao Mo curled his lips. Seeing Cao Cang's serious expression, he didn't say anything. Cao Cang then said to Zhang Liang, "Doctor Zhang, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Zhang Liang took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing silently before he said, "It's like this. Cao Mo's surgery itself is somewhat risky and it is also a relatively advanced surgery. In other words, although this surgery has been successfully performed abroad, it is the first case in Longhai City. Apart from the risks itself, once successful, it will be of great benefit to the patient."
Cao Cang had heard these words two days ago.
There was a difference between Cao Mo's last surgery and this time. The surgery at that time could indeed be done, but the effect was definitely much worse than this time. There were even many sequelae that were unpredictable. Sometimes Cao Cang was even grateful in his heart that Chen Hui's case had been delayed until now, giving Cao Mo the opportunity to wait for advanced foreign technology. If the operation was successful, the benefits to Cao Mo would be indescribable.
In a short period of time, he had gone over Zhang Liang's words in his mind many times, and then took a deep breath: "Doctor Zhang, I understand what you said. We will definitely do the surgery. As for the money..."
He was about to say that he would definitely raise the money, but Zhang Liang interrupted him: "I called you today to talk to you about the expenses."
Cao Cang frowned.
Zhang Liang continued on the other end, "Because Cao Mo is the first patient in our hospital and even in Longhai City to receive this new treatment, there are probably only a few patients in the country, and none of us can predict the final result of the operation. The dean and the hospital held a meeting. This matter is unfair to you and Cao Mo in some ways, so the hospital decided to reduce part of the surgery fee as appropriate."
Cao Cang frowned even deeper, because it was difficult for Cao Mo to hear what was said on the phone from where she was standing. She could only roughly guess what was going on from a few words Cao Cang said and his expression. Now, seeing Cao Cang's brows frowning deeper and deeper, she felt in her heart that things might be difficult.
Cao Mo took a step forward and wanted to snatch the phone from Cao Cang, but because of her long-term illness and Cao Cang's job, Cao Cang easily turned around and dodged her sudden attack. Then he looked at Cao Mo angrily and seriously and ordered: "Be obedient, go to your room, I'm talking about business with Doctor Zhang!"
Cao Cang rarely spoke to Cao Mo in such a serious manner, but Cao Mo was now angry and aggrieved. As a patient, she herself knew how risky this operation was. She had selfish motives in privately asking Zhang Liang to delay her operation.
She was afraid she wouldn't make it.
Cao Cang spoke to him so seriously, even without avoiding Zhang Liang on the other end of the phone, which made her burst into tears suddenly. She stared at Cao Cang angrily for a long time, and seeing that he still showed no sign of loosening, she stomped her feet in anger and ran back to her room.
Cao Cang sighed helplessly and went out to chat with Zhang Liang.
After leaving the house, Cao Cang did not have too many concerns and went straight to the point: "Doctor Zhang, I want to know, based on the hospital's willingness to waive some of the fees for us, what is the approximate range of the surgery and subsequent treatment costs."
Zhang Liang seemed to pause, and after a few seconds he said a number.
Even though Cao Cang was mentally prepared, he was still slightly stunned. But in comparison, this cost was much better than what he had initially imagined.
Zhang Liang seemed to know what he was thinking, and he comforted him a few more words: "Don't worry too much. Everyone is very concerned about this operation, and the director specially found a doctor with successful experience from abroad to perform the operation. In other words, our chances of success are a little higher. The hospital also attaches great importance to it."
He paused again and said, "Everyone is like you. Cao Mo's condition has reached this stage. The little girl can bear it herself, but it doesn't mean we can't see it. This operation is also an opportunity for her. It just so happens that all the good luck is pushing us in this direction. We have to work harder too."
This is true, Cao Cang grinned, he was a little surprised at Zhang Liang's words from a friend's perspective, he knew in his heart that the reduction of some expenses was probably the result of Zhang Liang's maneuvering, although he could only afford the final cost now, it was already great news for him.
Zhang Liang and Cao Cang talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone. After hanging up, Cao Cang stood there and looked up at the weather. It was getting dark and there seemed to be a rain brewing in the clouds, but he had a lot of feelings in his heart.
Receiving two good news within one day, he suddenly wondered if he had really done something to move God. As he thought about it, he suddenly laughed, then walked into the house and saw that Cao Mo's door was closed by her in anger. He shook his head helplessly, and remembered that Zhang Liang said that Cao Mo would be admitted to the hospital to prepare for surgery in the next two days, so he hurried forward to check her door.
The door was not closed, so he pushed it and walked in. As soon as he entered, before he could say anything, he heard Cao Mo's helpless voice saying, "Brother, I know we may not be able to afford the consequences of the operation, and with so much money, it will all be wasted. I actually refuse the operation."
This was the first time she told him this matter so positively. Cao Cang frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. He walked over and rubbed her head. Although she looked normal, she was actually wearing a wig. After so many years of treatment and the side effects of the medication again and again, her hair fell out in clumps at the beginning, and later she took the initiative to shave it off and pretended not to care. Cao Cang had seen all this but never said anything.
His heart trembled, and he quickly said, "What are you thinking about? Doctor Zhang just called me and said that the hospital has decided to waive some of our fees based on our conditions. After deducting these, you can still afford it with the money you have saved over the years. In addition, the doctor who will perform the surgery on you this time is a very prestigious doctor, so we can't miss this opportunity again."
