It was late at night.
Zou Jiahua was forced to lie down under Lin Yuansheng’s repeated persuasion.
The three consecutive cardiac arrests brought incomparable pressure to his heart. He wanted to persist in not sleeping, but he was already exhausted. After lying down, Zou Jiahua fell asleep in a daze not long after.
Because it was not the Lin family’s half-mountain mansion, Lin Yuansheng could only sit in a corner of the ward and stare at the monitor without blinking.
In the darkness, the monitor screen emitted a dim luster. It flickered between light and darkness, like the entrance to the six paths of reincarnation.
The number on the monitor was very stable, indicating that Zou Jiahua was in good health. Lin Yuansheng looked at the screen and recalled the surgery just now.
Interventional surgery with a pacemaker was a relatively simple procedure.
Lin Yuansheng graduated from the Medical School of Xiangjiang University 15 years ago and received a doctorate from Harvard Medical School in the United States before returning to Xiangjiang.
Not long after, he became one of Zou Jiahua’s private doctors. He was only responsible for one thing; if Zou Jiahua had a sudden cardiac arrest in the middle of the night, he would rescue Zou Jiahua.
In the eight years, Zou Jiahua’s heart had stopped beating six times, three of which were in the past two days.
This job could be said to be simple and easy. There was only one target group that needed to be responsible: Zou Jiahua.
Although he could not sleep until he woke up naturally every day, he could count his money until his hand cramped. There was not much work to be done. A few people took shifts to watch Zou Jiahua sleep. It could be said that life was extremely comfortable.
He originally thought that life would be like this; that there would be no waves in his calm heart. However, the surgery that Lin Yuansheng saw today made a slight change in his heart.
The surgery was done perfectly. Even the professors of Harvard Medical School would not be able to do it so quickly and steadily!
And the surgeon was only less than thirty years old. At this age, if he was in the United States, he would still be working hard to obtain a medical license.
Lin Yuansheng stared blankly at the monitor, but countless thoughts flooded his mind.
If he had stayed in the United States after graduation, would he be working at the Mayo Clinic now?
If he had returned to Xiangjiang and worked at Xiangjiang Hospital, would his surgical skills have reached the prime of the world?
If he had not agreed to be Mr. Zou Jiahua’s personal doctor…
If…
Countless if’s, countless possibilities.
Lin Yuansheng, who had always been mature and steady, and had always rushed to the bedroom to perform emergency treatment as soon as Zou Jiahua’s heart stopped beating, was especially uneasy today.
He was touched by the surgery. It touched the softness in the deepest part of his heart, which was called a dream.
A heart that was no longer agitated seemed to have been installed with an invisible pacemaker and began to beat.
In such a night..
… it was so quiet that only Zou Jiahua’s snoring and the sound of his heartbeat could be heard.
In such a night…
… after being touched by the surgery, countless complicated thoughts made Lin Yuansheng think about a lot of things.
Time passed by little by little. Zou Jiahua’s heartbeat was very steady. There was no sign of it stopping.
All the data of the electrocardiogram was recorded for analysis.
This was because Zou Jiahua had almost unlimited financial, material, and human resources. How could an ordinary person do this.
Suddenly, Lin Yuansheng frowned.
On the electrocardiogram, a strange and messy waveform appeared, but in just an instant, the sinus rhythm was restored.
Zou Jiahua was still in his sleep, so he did not notice this at all.
Lin Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, then he carefully stood up and began to flip through the data recorded on the computer.
That moment was perfectly left behind. Lin Yuansheng quickly found the position and looked at it repeatedly.
In fact, he did not need to look at it repeatedly. He knew at a glance that it was the graph that was displayed by the device after his heart stopped beating but immediately returned to normal after receiving electrical stimulation from the pacemaker.
In other words, the surgery was not only done quickly, steadily, and well, but it was also very successful.
This success was the success of the diagnosis.
It would have been hard to say if it had not been for this graph. However, Zou Jiahua had already stopped beating, but he was saved by a pacemaker. This was enough to explain the problem.
A thought appeared in Lin Yuansheng’s mind. If his guess was correct, Mr. Zou’s condition was just like what Doctor Zheng Ren had said. It was not that he had been bewitched or poisoned; it was just a rare heart disease — an extremely rare heart disease.
It was just a heart disease, and the treatment was only the next pacemaker.
Could it be that the chronic disease that had troubled Mr. Zou Jiahua and the Zou family for more than a decade was so powerful?
The death threat that had cost a lot of money but still had no result was surpassed, just like that?
Lin Yuansheng was confused and baffled.
Over the years, he had accompanied Zou Jiahua to all the first-class hospitals in the world. He had watched over him carefully, pulling him back from the brink of death time and time again.
Zou Jiahua had offered him a huge salary, and he felt that he was worthy of it.
But…
Now…
Lin Yuansheng was at a loss.
Was he really worthy?
Doctor Zheng took a look and quickly came up with a diagnostic treatment plan. Then, he ‘randomly’ placed a pacemaker.
Now, it seemed that his diagnosis was correct.
The Mayo Clinic did not dare to make a diagnosis…
Harvard Medical School did not dare to make a diagnosis…
The Karolinska Medical School of the Stockholm Medical University did not dare to make a diagnosis either…
That young doctor made a diagnosis and treated him just like that.
And after the incident, he proved…
… that he was right!
Lin Yuansheng silently looked at the strange waveform for a full ten minutes. Then, he expressionlessly walked back to his seat and continued to observe.
One waveform was not enough to explain the problem.
There had to be more proof!
Zou Jiahua’s snoring was so sweet that he did not realize it at all.
After a night, Lin Yuansheng’s eyes were a little sore.
He did not even dare to blink, afraid that he would miss something. During that night, he found the same waveform three times.
In other words, Zou Jiahua’s heart should have stopped beating three times, but it was ‘saved’ by the pacemaker.
Zou Jiahua woke up at daybreak.
He saw Lin Yuansheng sitting on a chair in a daze. He did not notice that he had woken up. Instead, he was staring at the monitor in a daze.
“Yuansheng, I’m up. You should go and have a rest.” Zou Jiahua was very relieved. He was very relieved to have such lovely and kind private doctor.
“Mr-Mr. Zou, last night…” Lin Yuansheng stammered and told him the story.
Zou Jiahua’s expression gradually became serious.
