Chapter 436: Chapter 436

The living room was filled with people.

Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, Xu Meng, Wu Pingjing, the eldest of the Wu family Wu Weiguo, Wu Fei’s parents were absent; they were rarely home throughout the year, Wu Fei represented them, along with Wu Pingxuan and Meng Ran.

"Mom, Dad, this is how things are. Doctor Jiang said there’s no need for surgery, and there are other ways to treat Xiao Cheng’s heart disease. We’ve discussed it and want to give it a try."

Wu Pingjing spoke up after they had discussed it in their room for a long time, analyzing every aspect thoroughly.

Both of them felt they should trust Jiang Xiaoxiao; no matter which aspect you consider, Jiang Xiaoxiao displayed competence that is absolutely trustworthy.

All the doctors had given up on treating Xiao Cheng, thinking he should prepare for the end.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao was the only one who started treating Xiao Cheng after examining him, and indeed, Xiao Cheng was recovering.

From this perspective, it is living proof right in front of them. If they don’t believe it, they can’t even convince themselves.

They both know very well that after heart surgery, how long one can live is really up to fate.

If there is a more secure method, they would definitely not let their son take risks.

Jiang Xiaoxiao mentioned her method of treatment, although it might not lead to complete recovery, at least it could sustain life for three to five years, which both of them were willing to risk for just that statement.

This carries much less risk than surgery. Even the surgeons say if Xiao Cheng can live for five years post-surgery, it’s already a miracle.

They themselves are doctors, and they understand this saying is really just a form of consolation. Many people experience various rejection symptoms within half a year after surgery.

And then they’re gone; surviving one year or two years is already impressive; don’t even mention five years being a hurdle.

So many people haven’t gotten past this hurdle.

The medical technology, whether in China or abroad, currently achieves the best technical treatment for heart disease but cannot guarantee a person can live several decades.

Mr. Wu’s face was grave, his grandson’s life was at stake, and it couldn’t be taken lightly.

Wu Pingxuan laughed out loud, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, sometimes you guys are really desperate, that Jiang Xiaoxiao talks about her ancestral secret recipe improving Xiao Cheng’s physical condition, but you can’t believe everything, right? Is this ancestral secret able to cure all diseases?

Revive the dead, ensure childbirth, and still treat Xiao Cheng’s heart disease? How can you believe everything! I think her ancestral recipe might really enhance immunity and improve physical health.

But to say it can actually cure heart disease, I don’t believe it. Our family is full of doctors, not just one or two, everyone here has studied medicine, and we have never heard of such miracles.

If you don’t let Xiao Cheng have surgery now and miss this heart source, it won’t be easy to find such an opportunity in the future, you’ll harm the child."

This is absolutely against scientific principles in a simple way.

Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are not unaware, they were anxious, and their concern for the child overcame their rationality.

At this time, as family members, they should better guide the direction and advise them to return to the right path.

We can’t believe some ancestral secret recipe; if it delays the child, it’s a life, where can we find another heart source later on.

Meng Ran also agreed with his wife’s thought,

"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, Xuanxuan is right, though sometimes she can be a bit willful. But we should all understand this rationale, you’re all doctors; this simple reason should be very clear. Once you miss this best opportunity, it’s definitely not so easy to find a suitable heart source again.

Which weighs heavier needs you to decide."

Mr. Wu paused, his daughter and son-in-law had a point, it took a great deal of effort to find the heart source.

It’s hard to find it again once missed.

Wei Guo thought of that child, Jiang Xiaoxiao is her daughter, that child is kind-hearted and won’t make unfounded claims.

Wu Fei stood up, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, if it were someone else saying this, I certainly wouldn’t believe it, and would definitely support Aunt here. But the one saying this is Jiang Xiaoxiao, so I believe her.

Xiao Xiao isn’t a person who talks big without substantiation; she dares to say it because she can do it. I understand Jiang Xiaoxiao very well, she’s warmhearted and kind, albeit not pleasant in speech, she’s certainly a good doctor.

She’s saved so many people, and not once has there been a risk because of her treatment. If she says she can treat Xiao Cheng, then she certainly can."

That’s openly supporting Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Wu Pingxuan shook her head, still with the childish temperament.

"Feifei, don’t act on impulse. How can you guarantee that Jiang Xiaoxiao can definitely cure Xiao Cheng? If she doesn’t succeed and there’s a risk to Xiao Cheng, can you live with that on your conscience?

That’s your brother. If I were Xiao Cheng’s parents, I’d rather assume a certain risk. Let Xiao Cheng have the surgery. If that Doctor Jiang is truly remarkable, Xiao Cheng can have treatment post-surgery as well!

Why can’t we pursue both paths concurrently? Why must we give up on Xiao Cheng’s surgery."

Wu Pingjing hesitated, the sister was right indeed.

They could both have surgery and let Jiang Xiaoxiao treat, wouldn’t that be more assured?

Xu Meng spoke decisively.

"You all don’t need to say more, I have decided, our Xiao Cheng will not undergo surgery, he’ll receive Doctor Jiang’s treatment. Even if Doctor Jiang doesn’t succeed in treating Xiao Cheng, I won’t blame her; it’s a choice I’ve made as a mother.

I don’t want my child to suffer, he’s been receiving treatments in the hospital for years, none of you know him.

Every time he endures the pain with gritted teeth, and after heart surgery, he’s so small, his body so weak. That’s surgery, the anesthesia will wear off; how painful would it be, don’t we all know. He has to bear all that pain by himself.

You are not him and cannot decide on his behalf, but I am his mother.

I know what my child’s wish is.

In these days, what I saw in Doctor Jiang is a person of benevolent heart; otherwise, she wouldn’t agree to treat Xiao Cheng even after we treated her poorly back then.

If I were her and were treated with distrust and disrespect by someone, I would give the other party a hard time until they showed me respect to gain my mercy to help them treat illnesses. Call me narrow-minded, call me selfish, I admit I’m not a perfect person.

But Doctor Jiang does not have these qualities; even though she gave us cold faces, she has never slackened when it comes to Xiao Cheng’s illness."

Xu Meng made up her mind.
