Allogeneic corneal transplantation surgery must generally be completed within 48 hours to maximize the success rate of the transplantation.
After obtaining a transplant quota from the International Cornea Bank, Lan Jingqian contacted Jia Junxi immediately and began to prepare for the necessary examinations and medications before the transplant surgery.
In order to ensure that she was fully adapted before the operation, Luo Zhan and Lan Jingqian sent Tang Ran to Jia Junxi’s Eye Hospital in M City for hospitalization two days in advance.
“…In addition to these physiological problems, corneal transplant surgery is relatively complicated, and patients often have anxious expectations about the results of the surgery, so many people have significant psychological problems before the surgery.”
In the dean’s office, Jia Junxi patiently explained to the two men sitting on the sofa opposite.
“Before the operation, the patient’s psychological anxiety and tension can easily affect the operation. I suggested that you hospitalize Tang Ran in advance, also considering this issue.”
Lan Jingqian’s expression turned solemn: “What should we do?”
Luo Zhan didn’t say anything, but he also stared at Jia Junxi.
Jia Junxi scratched his forehead and said, “The hospital has special staff who can provide her with some professional psychological counseling, but for more emotional aspects, she still needs the accompanying family members to provide assistance, and then…”
Jia Junxi looked up at the two of them from the folder in his hand and swallowed back what he was about to say.
Then he waved his hands in a helpless manner.
“Well, I guess we can’t rely on you two – why do you two look more nervous than the girl herself?”
Luo Zhan had a cold face, with no expression and didn’t speak.
Lan Jingqian was not ashamed to admit that he was also so nervous that he almost had no expression: “Is there anything abnormal about this?”
“That’s not the case,” Jia Junxi curled his lips, “It’s just that I’ve never seen you like this before. It seems I need to get used to this for another two days.”
Lan Jingqian ignored him: “Are there any other precautions?”
Jia Junxi: “The nurse will remind you about medication and checkups every day, and I just mentioned the rest.”
Hearing this, Lan Jingqian stood up without hesitation: “Then I will go back to the ward to take care of Xiao Ran.”
Jia Junxi choked. Then before he could say anything, Lan Jingqian’s back had disappeared outside the office door.
“I’ve never seen him being so nervous.”
Jia Junxi shook his head in amusement and helplessness, his eyes then fell back to the sofa, and he made a strange sound:
“Luo Zhan, you’re not leaving? It’s rare that you’re calmer than Jingqian. He’s a dozen years older than you.”
In front of the sofa, Luo Zhan raised his eyes.
After a few seconds, he spoke in an eerily calm, psychic tone, “I’m more nervous.”
Jia Junxi asked in confusion: “Then why don’t you hurry back to take a look?”
“After listening to you talk about the worst possible scenario that could result from the surgery, I was worried that I had found a quack doctor for Ran Ran,” Luo Zhan slowly lowered his gaze and pinched his knuckles expressionlessly, “I got so scared that my legs went stiff and I can’t stand up for the time being.”
Jia Junxi: “…”
Jia Junxi laughed angrily: “No matter how skilled a doctor is, even if the operation is minor, the worst-case scenario will be explained in advance. This is a necessary procedure before the operation!”
“Yeah.” Luo Zhan still had a wooden face.
Jia Junxi shook his head in disdain: “You two are really one more promising than the other.”
The young master, who had never suffered a loss in words, did not refute a word at this time, as if he had not heard anything and seemed not to have recovered from the shock just now.
Jia Junxi shook his head helplessly and looked away.
In the ward.
Lan Jingqian pulled the wooden track sliding door of the single room and walked into the ward.
The little girl sitting beside the bed had her eyes quietly closed, not moving at all. Until she heard footsteps, then she looked up towards the door and asked hesitantly, “Excuse me?”
“It’s me, Xiao Ran.” Lan Jingqian replied softly, “Did the nurse come to give you medicine just now?”
“Um.”
“How do you feel today? Are you used to the hospital environment?”
Tang Ran thought about it seriously and nodded: “It’s fine. The nurses are also very gentle and treat me very well.”
“That’s good.” Lan Jingqian smiled after a long time.
The ward became quiet.
Lan Jingqian was thinking about how to ease the girl’s psychological condition when he heard Tang Ran, who was sitting beside the bed, suddenly ask, “I should have the surgery tonight, right?”
When he heard the time of the surgery, Lan Jingqian couldn’t help but panic.
Coming back to his senses, he smiled bitterly: “Yes, tonight at 7 o’clock.”
Tang Ran lowered her head in silence.
Lan Jingqian asked: “Xiao Ran, is there something that worries you?”
Tang Ran thought about it and nodded slightly.
“Then, can you tell your uncle what it is?” Lan Jingqian asked.
Tang Ran hesitated for a few seconds and spoke softly: “I asked the nurses, and they said that any surgery is risky. Because under the shadowless light, no one knows what will happen in the next second …”
Lan Jingqian frowned before he finished listening, somewhat dissatisfied with the nurse who spoke so bluntly to an underage child without considering her psychological endurance.
“Xiao Ran, don’t let your imagination run wild.” Lan Jingqian said firmly – even if he was panicking or uneasy, as a father, he would completely hide it in front of his daughter. “There will be no problems with your surgery. Trust your uncle and the doctor, okay?”
“Yeah.” Tang Ran nodded. “But I want to be prepared just in case.”
Lan Jingqian didn’t even want to think about it: “Nothing will happen.”
“…” The girl paused, slowly grasped the bed sheet with her hands hanging by the bed and lowered her head.
Lan Jingqian felt a pain in his chest and immediately softened his voice: “I’m sorry, Xiao Ran, uncle’s tone was too harsh – tell me, what are you worried about, or what do you want?”
After a longer silence, Tang Ran seemed to finally muster up the courage and spoke: “I want to ask uncle a question. I hope uncle can answer me without hiding anything.”
Lan Jingqian was startled: “What’s the problem?”
Tang Ran slowly raised her head.
“Uncle, who are you to me?”
