Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Hiding Dirt – Part 1

Zhou Xian quickly returned after paying the fees, and the two headed to the intensive care unit together.

Xu Fan noticed that as soon as Zhou Xian entered the hospital, he became worried and seemed to carry a great burden on his mind.

Could it be that the money I lent him wasn’t enough? He could definitely borrow more, so what’s there to feel embarrassed about?

It seemed that money alone couldn’t solve everything; if I wasn’t mistaken, his sister’s condition must be more serious than imagined.

Through the glass window of the intensive care unit, Xu Fan saw the girl quietly lying on the bed, her pale face and lips tinged with purple, occasionally letting out a faint moan of pain.

It seemed that the long-term torment of illness was so severe that she could feel the pain even in her sleep.

Zhou Xian, seeing his sister’s condition stable, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. His eyes, reddened, were filled with tenderness as he whispered softly, “Xiao Fu, you must hold on. I have money now, and in a few days, I’ll arrange for your surgery. Trust in me, I’ll make sure you recover completely.”

“So her name is Zhou Xiaofu.”

Xu Fan thought silently; indeed, both her name and person were beautiful.

Unfortunately, fate had not been kind to her, allowing her to face the most terrifying thing in the world at the prime of her life. Thankfully, Zhou Xian had appeared in time, and had been there to care for her all along.

His thoughts were scattered. If he found himself in such a situation, he would probably also not hesitate to kill all those villains, grinding their bones and scattering their ashes, so they’d never enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

“You seem restless. Could it be that her chance of recovery is not great?” Xu Fan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xian nodded, his expression filled with sorrow, “Those damn bastards created an extremely unhygienic surgical environment, causing her to contract multiple infections, which accelerated her kidney failure. The frequent dialysis over the past two years has been draining Xiao Fu’s life force. Now her condition is getting worse, and even if she undergoes a kidney transplant, the success rate is less than 50 percent. Moreover, we haven’t found a suitable kidney donor yet, so for now, we can only wait. I’m afraid she won’t last until it’s time for the surgery.”

“Isn’t your kidney a match?” Xu Fan asked instinctively.

As siblings, the match rate should be much higher.

Zhou Xian looked quite downcast, “I would give her mine in a heartbeat, but after the tests, I found out that we aren’t biologically related, not real siblings. Furthermore, the hospital has its rules and doesn’t accept live organ donations.”

“However, whether we’re blood-related or not, I’ve always treated her as my own sister, forever and always. No matter the cost, I will save her.”

Xu Fan was deeply moved for a moment. He glanced at Zhou Xiaofu lying on the bed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and couldn’t help but extend his Divine Sense.

He actually didn’t want to do this, as using Divine Sense to probe was like stripping the person searched completely bare, leaving no secrets hidden inside or out. But to save a life, he couldn’t care about these concerns.

Especially now that Zhou Xian had become one of his own people, seeing him so worried and distraught over Zhou Xiaofu, Xu Fan couldn’t just stand aside. Moreover, the sight of such a delicate girl suffering from illness evoked a sense of compassion in him.

A few breaths later, Xu Fan withdrew his Divine Sense. Though he had seen the girl’s graceful body, he felt no inner turmoil, so there was no awkwardness.

“Zhou Xian, I’m confident that I can cure your sister. Do you believe me?” Xu Fan contemplated for a moment, then suddenly said.

“What? Boss, what did you say? Is it true?” Zhou Xian was taken aback, and then his entire being burst into ecstasy. He eagerly said, “I believe, one hundred percent.”

“Alright, if you trust me, then I’ll cure your sister. Let’s set a time, tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock, we meet here.”

Zhou Xian nodded emphatically, his eyes immediately brimming with tears, and he said excitedly, “Boss, I… I… I don’t know what to say.”

He had not held much hope, but Xu Fan had offered a ray of light to him who was deeply entrenched in despair.

Even though he didn’t have any idea about Xu Fan’s medical skills, he chose to trust him without reservation.

In fact, this was also a temporary relief for himself; his nerves had been on edge for too long, and he needed someone to loosen the tension, even if Xu Fan was deceiving him, he would rather believe.

Xu Fan nodded with a smile and said, “We’re all in this together, no need to be so formal.”

Zhou Xian nodded again, his gaze filled with resolve and determination, clearly having made up his mind to entrust his life entirely to Xu Fan.

At that moment, an overweight middle-aged doctor walked over, glanced at Zhou Xian, and his expression immediately darkened as he said indifferently, “Zhou Xian, you have time to visit your sister, but you’d be better off making money outside. By the way, have you paid the overdue fees? If not, we can only transfer your sister to a general ward tomorrow.”

A shadow flashed in Zhou Xian’s eyes, and he turned to say, “I’ve already paid the money.”

The middle-aged doctor was taken aback for a moment, then his expression cleared, and he waved Zhou Xian over to talk on the side.

Zhou Xian thought about it and still followed.

However, Xu Fan, releasing his Divine Sense, easily overheard the conversation between the two men.

“Zhou Xian, I have some important information for you. If you have gathered enough for the surgery and medication, I will tell you,” the doctor said.

“Dr. Lu, I really have gathered enough,” Zhou Xian frowned, but he was honest, wanting to know what Dr. Lu was hinting at. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Dr. Lu looked around, then whispered, “You know, even with the money, it’s a long wait, as finding a suitable kidney donor is not easy. Now, I’ve found a suitable kidney donor, but your sister is further down the waiting list. If you have the money, I can consider meeting your needs first.”

“However, you understand, such matters cannot be made public, as I would face severe punishment if discovered. So, it all depends on whether you can pay enough to make it worth my risk,” he continued.

Dr. Lu smiled, his face bearing a sleazy expression, rubbing his thumb against his forefinger and middle finger, his intentions crystal clear.

Zhou Xian looked at the man with disgust, having already held a strong dislike for him, and now he saw there was no misunderstanding.

Xu Fan also came to a realization, observing the blatant change in the man’s attitude.

He couldn’t help but reflect, thinking that while hospitals serve to save lives and alleviate suffering, they also harbor corruption and dark human nature.

Dr. Lu didn’t care about Zhou Xian’s attitude towards him and continued to speak earnestly, “Zhou Xian, let’s focus on the issue, not the emotions. Your sister’s condition is deteriorating, and the frequent dialysis has placed a great burden on her. Even if I can endure it, as a family member, can you?”

Looking at his pitiful demeanor, which seemed sincere, was actually hiding an ugly human nature.

“Dr. Lu, what do you think the success rate of the kidney transplant is?” Zhou Xian, suppressing his disgust, asked through gritted teeth.

Dr. Lu felt a surge of joy inside, humph, can this kid even refuse me? he thought.

Things would go as they should, and even if there were frustrations, they had to be contained.
