Chapter 990: Chapter 831 Professor Yang is Sun Wukong

Yuan Yulin and Nie Shun’e ordered several snacks at the bakery and sat down to eat slowly and observe the surroundings.

Especially Nie Shun’e, her eyes were constantly fixed on Yu Shuilian, who was moving around. She simply couldn’t understand how a person with only an upper body could walk back and forth.

Yu Shuilian actually knew what she was thinking. Many customers who came here to eat were curious, so she never hid the fact that she was Half-Man; it was the reality, and she faced it very openly.

While tidying up plates on a nearby table, Yu Shuilian smiled and told Nie Shun’e, "I’ve got electric prostheses for my lower body, so I can move freely. They’re covered by clothes and trousers, so you can’t tell."

As she spoke, Yu Shuilian rolled up her trouser leg to show them, "These are mechanical legs, powered by batteries, but they look a lot like real legs."

Yuan Yulin and Nie Shun’e were amazed, marveling at how advanced technology had become.

"Your surgery was performed by Professor Yang from the Surgical Research Institute here, right?" Nie Shun’e asked casually.

Yu Shuilian nodded, "Not only did he perform the surgery, but this electric prosthesis was also a gift from his student in the United States. You simply can’t buy it outside; it’s a product of an American laboratory."

"Professor Yang is a great philanthropist. He also helped set up this bakery. If not for him, we wouldn’t have the life we have today," Yu Shuilian’s husband said as he brought over two pieces of toast.

Although Yuan Yulin and Nie Shun’e hadn’t met Professor Yang in person since arriving at Sanbo Hospital, they already had a clear image of him in their minds—a highly skilled and benevolent doctor, with both artistry and medical ethics that put people at ease.

"It looks like you’ve also come here for treatment, right?"

Yu Shuilian noticed that Nie Shun’e’s complexion wasn’t very good, somewhat yellowish. In fact, those who came here to eat were either medical staff or patients and their relatives. She almost recognized all the staff, so those she didn’t know were either patients or their relatives.

"Yes, we were also recommended to come and seek surgery from Professor Yang," Nie Shun’e responded, sounding very happy.

Because she saw hope—a tangible hope standing right before her.

Yu Shuilian was like a beacon of light, giving many desperate patients a glimmer of hope, a courage to keep living, and now Nie Shun’e had seen that light.

After finishing their meal, Yuan Yulin and Nie Shun’e returned to the ward, where Yuan Yulin requested an accompany bed, intending to stay overnight at the hospital.

On the second day of admission, the couple finally met the deity-like Professor Yang everyone talked about, but he was so young.

There were photos in the doctor introduction section on the wall, but Yuan Yulin thought these were pictures from the doctor’s younger days, or that the photos had been beautified, a popular practice nowadays—who doesn’t use beauty filters when taking pictures?

However, seeing him in person, he was indeed so young, almost like a university student still in school. Youth aside, he had an aura of authority that made people instinctively trust him.

Professor Yang’s ward rounds were either a grand procession—that was usually in the morning—or he came alone, like a solitary warrior, and that would be in the afternoon when the day’s work was ending.

It was morning now, so it was a grand procession.

The physician in charge knocked and opened the door, and Professor Yang walked in with his team, everyone taking their place in an orderly manner.

There were around twenty doctors gathered around the bed. Professor Yang stood at the prime position for the rounds, flanked by two senior colleagues accompanying him.

The physician reported the medical history with impressively fluent, off-script delivery.

Nie Shun’e had vague, lingering upper abdominal pain for the last six months. She simply thought it was an upset stomach and that it would pass if she just endured a bit, not really taking the subtle abdominal pain seriously.

Later on, her eyes and skin became a bit yellow, and she grew thin. Yuan Yulin felt something was off with his wife and took her to the hospital for a check-up, only to discover that she had cancer. Such news could shatter anyone, feeling like the sky had fallen, but thankfully they managed to pull through.

Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis and is highly malignant, with an extremely rapid progression, so the life expectancy of patients is very short. Because its onset is quite hidden, by the time it’s discovered, it’s usually in the late stages, and patients typically die not long after diagnosis.

Thus, pancreatic cancer is known as the ’king of cancers,’ with an even worse prognosis than liver cancer.

For many malignant tumor patients, it’s common practice to withhold the diagnosis to avoid placing immense psychological stress on them. Before the rounds, the physician in charge had already communicated with Yuan Yulin, who indicated that his wife was aware of her illness, so secrecy wasn’t necessary.

"Don’t be scared off by the word ’cancer’. Some tumors can be cured, and some can have their survival period extended,"

Leveraging this case, Yang Ping took the opportunity to educate everyone about malignant tumors and also provided Yuan Yulin and Nie Shun’e with some scientific understanding of the disease.

Any tumor, tumor cells in themselves are not lethal. However, it’s understood that tumor cells are of inferior quality. They don’t perform the functions of normal cells, yet these inferior cells can divide and grow at an alarming rate, quickly occupying the space of normal cells and taking their place.

Every organ is composed of cells. Therefore, the material basis of function lies in normal cells. If cells are surreptitiously replaced, then the foundation for function no longer exists, and that organ will fail.

Organ failure, often multiple organ failure, is the primary cause of death for tumor patients.
