Female Novel
Chapter 1559
“I’m free today, let’s have a look,” Johann said as he stood up and left his office.
The next day.
Leia’s test results were out. Her liver and kidney functions were chronically failing but the doctor couldnot find the root cause yet.
Leia widened her eyes when the doctor told her about her situation. She asked, “You mean that I hadto go through all those examinations but you still haven’t figured out what’s wrong?”
“Sorry, I’ll arrange an expert to consult on your situation and see if there are any examinations that wemight’ve missed.” The attending doctor apologized helplessly. Generally, the root cause of organ failurewould be found after a detailed examination.
There were very few cases like Leia who went through a round of examinations but the doctors failed tofind anything.
It was not to say that it was impossible. There was a one in 10,000 chance that the situation wouldoccur. To find out the root cause, they had to do more in-depth examinations, and these required face-to-face and ongoing consultations with experts.
“Consultation with an expert? Does that mean that more people will be involved?” Leia asked with afrown on her face. Yesterday, she had more than 20 tubes of blood drawn. She thought she would findout the reason the next day but she was disappointed. The conclusion they arrived at was the same asbefore.
“There are only a few experts in our hospital. If necessary, we will contact experts from overseas,” thedoctor replied.
“Are you sure that you’re a qualified doctor? This is such a big hospital but you still have to ask foreigndoctors for help? I just came back from overseas. Before I came back, I did a check-up but they didn’tfind anything wrong with me. However, when I came to you, you told me that there’s a problem withme. Even so, you didn’t find anything after drawing more than 20 tubes of blood from me? What can Iexpect you to find?” Leia was furious. She did not think there was anything wrong with her body.
However, the examination reports in front of her made her believe that there was no way someonewould fake the reports just to trick her.
The doctor felt helpless after being bombarded by her series of questions. It was the first time he hadencountered a situation like Leia’s in his many years of medical practice. He was speechless, but at thesame time, he also found the case challenging.
He tried to stabilize her mood. “Ms. Norman, please trust us. We’ll find out the cause and make surethat you get the necessary treatment.”
“By the time you find out the cause, my liver and kidneys will be ruined! There’s no need to continuethis conversation. Discharge me from the hospital right now. I don’t need quack doctors like you to treatme,” Leia said. She did not trust that these people would be able to cure her, and there was the risk ofbeing discovered by Luke. She wanted to get Luca’s help.
“Uh…” The doctor was a little angry after being called a quack doctor but he still maintained hiscomposure. “Ms. Norman, please believe us.”
“I don’t trust you. Get me discharged from the hospital now!” Leia said arrogantly.
The doctor took a deep breath. He wanted to treat her but there was no point for him to insist andpersuade her since the other party was unwilling. “Okay, since you insist on being discharged from thehospital, I’ll prepare some disclaimers and agreements for you to sign before your discharge. You canleave after you sign them.”
“Give them to me.” Leia rolled her eyes and thought it was a waste of time for her to be here.
She felt as though she was in prison in the Norman Residence because she was not allowed to go outat all. However, compared to the Norman Residence, the hospital made her feel unhappy and joylesslike a real prison.
Queenie walked in and heard Leia shouting about wanting to be discharged from the hospital. Shequickly asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly want to be discharged from the hospital?”
Leia wanted to leave the hospital and head straight to the Norman Residence so Queenie could notsay anything about it but she did not expect her to come over to the hospital so early.
She stepped forward, grabbed Queenie’s hand, and said in a spoiled manner, “Mom, I had more than20 tubes of blood drawn from me yesterday but they still couldn’t find anything. It’s so frustrating! Thisis a big hospital but the doctors here aren’t very good. Please bring me home.”
“They found nothing? Doctor, what does that mean?” Queenie asked, her tone was soft and worried.
The doctor shook his head helplessly. ‘There’s such a stark difference between those who are blood-related and those who are not.’
Leia could not even learn half of Queenie’s gentleness. The difference was so big that others could nothelp but sigh.
“After the test results came out, we still couldn’t find out what is causing Ms. Norman’s organ failure.We have to conduct more in-depth examinations but Ms. Norman doesn’t believe in us and demands tobe discharged, so I’m going to prepare the documents now. As soon as Ms. Norman signs the papers,she can be discharged,” the doctor said. With such a difficult patient, he would rather discharge her aswell.
“Wait a minute, don’t prepare the documents yet. Will you be able to find out the root cause if wecontinue to do other tests?” Queenie disagreed with Leia’s decision to be discharged from the hospital.She thought of it as Leia throwing a tantrum.
“I can’t guarantee that. After all, the probability of this situation is one in 10,000. For many patients,we’re able to find out the cause after conducting these basic examinations, but for some, it’s a littlemore complicated. One or two examinations may not help us find out more. We need to screen forvarious diseases,” the doctor said.novelbin
Queenie glanced at Leia. She was stubborn and insisted on leaving the hospital.
“Doctor, is the report out yet?” she asked.
The doctor picked up the report on the coffee table and said, “These are the reports.”
“Okay, thank you. Leia won’t be getting discharged from the hospital for now. I’d like to get anotheropinion. Would that be alright with you?” Queenie asked. With these test results, Luca should be ableto advise on how to help Leia.
“Of course, you can,” the doctor said. “In that case, I won’t prepare the documents for the time being. Ifanything happens, just ring the bell.”
“Okay, thank you.” Queenie thanked him.
After the doctor left, she picked up the reports and glanced at them.
Leia said impatiently, “The reports show that everything is normal. What are you looking at them for?Mom, just help me get out of the hospital.”
“How can you be discharged from the hospital in the condition that you’re in? The reports say that yourliver and kidneys are still functioning for now. You have to take advantage of this time to find out thecause.” Queenie persuaded her.
“What are you afraid of? When my liver and kidneys stop working, I’ll just get new ones. It’s not like theNorman family is short of money,” Leia said nonchalantly.
“My dear, do you want to know how long it takes to get a liver and kidneys?” Queenie could not helpbut feel disappointed when she learned that Leia had this idea in mind.
Leia pursed her lips.
‘Of course, I know that. I never said that I’m going to wait for my new organs from regular channels. Wehave money, it’s easy to buy these on the black market.’
Queenie was not aware that Leia had turned her attention to the black market. She picked up herphone and called Luca.
Luca had just woken up. She slept late last night so she woke up late. When she saw that Queenie wascalling her, she answered the call without hesitation.
