Chapter 218 Medical Miracle
Zhou Xiulan tremblingly reached out her hand, wanting her daughter to put the pills down.
However, at this tense moment, Shen Yourong did something that surprised everyone.
She ignored the doctor's roar and her mother's hesitant gaze, and instead held Ning Xiuyang's hand tightly, very tightly.
The man's palm was broad and warm, and the steady strength he conveyed instantly soothed all the unease in her heart.
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with unwavering determination and trust in Ning Xiuyang.
Then, she turned around, grasped her mother's cold hand, and spoke softly but with great strength.
"Mom, trust me."
Her gaze then turned to Ning Xiuyang, and she added softly, as if speaking to her mother, but also as if speaking to herself.
"I believe him too."
After saying that, under the furious gaze of Dr. Zhang Jianguo and the astonished look of the nurse, Shen Yourong picked up the water glass and gently, without the slightest hesitation, fed the black pill into her mother Zhou Xiulan's mouth.
Looking into her daughter's incredibly trusting eyes, Zhou Xiulan finally obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill with warm water.
"You...you all!"
Zhang Jianguo was trembling with anger. He pointed at Shen Yourong and Ning Xiuyang, his face ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He has been practicing medicine for over twenty years and has seen uncooperative patients' families, but he has never seen anyone so stubborn and treating the lives of their loved ones as a joke!
"Great! Excellent!"
Enraged, he laughed coldly, flung the medical records in his hand, and roared at them, "You took them, didn't you? Fine! I'll give you all a full checkup right now! I'll show you firsthand just how serious the consequences of taking these kinds of unknown medications can be! Don't come crying to me when something goes wrong!"
Zhang Jianguo's anger was so intense it nearly set the ceiling of the entire ward on fire.
Like an enraged lion, he stormed out of the ward and roared at the nurses' station in the corridor, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Li! Immediately bring the electrocardiogram monitor, portable ultrasound machine, and biochemical testing equipment to ward 603! Hurry!"
His roar attracted many patients and their families in the corridor, who were peeking out, wondering what serious incident had occurred.
Soon, the nurses rushed over, pushing various cold testing instruments.
Zhang Jianguo muttered under his breath, "Ignorance! Stupidity! This is utterly disregard for human life! Wait until the data comes out, then let's see what you have to say! Today, you will pay a heavy price for your ignorance!"
He angrily directed the nurses to connect various wires and probes to Zhou Xiulan, who had just taken the pills.
For a moment, the ward was filled with the beeping of medical equipment starting up, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Despite all this, Ning Xiuyang remained unusually calm.
He leisurely found a chair and sat down, even crossing his legs. He leaned against the wall with a calm expression, a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if the "farce" about to unfold had nothing to do with him.
His composure, in Zhang Jianguo's eyes, only solidified his image as an "ignorant and arrogant swindler," further fueling his anger.
Shen Yourong, on the other hand, was in a completely different state.
She stood nervously by the hospital bed, her hands tightly gripping her mother's, her palms sweaty.
Her gaze darted back and forth between her mother's pale face and the flickering screen of the monitor, her heart pounding in her chest as she silently prayed for a miracle.
She trusted Ning Xiuyang, but it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous in front of the cold instruments that represented the authority of modern medicine.
"Drip... drip... drip..."
On the screen of the electrocardiogram monitor, Zhou Xiulan's heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and other data began to be displayed steadily.
Zhang Jianguo stared intently at the numbers, trying to find evidence of the patient's deteriorating health.
However, a few seconds later, the anger and certainty on his face began to slowly solidify.
"Um?"
He let out a soft exclamation.
The data on the screen showed that the patient's vital signs were not disrupted by taking the "unregistered drug," but rather... unusually stable? Even better than the records from a few hours ago?
"Impossible... It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence." Zhang Jianguo frowned and muttered to himself.
He picked up the ultrasound probe, applied coupling gel himself, and attached it to the corresponding lesion site on Zhou Xiulan.
The ultrasound image was clearly displayed on the screen next to it.
He carefully observed the shadowy area representing the cancerous tissue, preparing to record its size and shape.
But at that moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
What did he see?
Under the real-time ultrasound image, the malignant tumor tissue that was originally blurry in boundary and irregular in shape was actually... actually shrinking slowly... at a speed visible to the naked eye?
Although it's slow, it is indeed shrinking!
Moreover, the previously murky boundaries of the tissue seem to be becoming clearer!
"this……"
Zhang Jianguo's breathing became rapid instantly. He couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed them hard, and then leaned closer to the screen to examine them carefully.
That's right!
It's really shrinking!
He has practiced medicine for twenty years and has seen tumors shrink after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but that is a long process measured in weeks, months, or even years.
It's simply unbelievable that changes could be observed on ultrasound images just minutes after taking the medication!
"The instrument...the instrument is broken?"
This was the first thought that popped into his mind.
He reached out and patted the exterior of the ultrasound machine repeatedly, as if that would restore it to normal.
But the images on the screen remained the same, and that unbelievable scene continued.
His face, which had turned red with anger, quickly turned to astonishment, and finally to a deathly pale ashes.
"Doctor, my mom... how is she?"
Seeing his horrified expression, Shen Yourong felt her heart pounding and anxiously asked.
This question was like a thunderclap, jolting Zhang Jianguo out of his daze.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes no longer filled with anger, but staring at the composed young man by the wall as if he were looking at a monster.
His lips trembled, and his voice shook violently from extreme excitement and overwhelming shock.
"Cancer cell activity... is... is declining sharply! No, not declining, it's dying out! All bodily functions... are rapidly returning to normal!"
He threw down the probe in his hand, staggered to another biochemical analyzer that had just analyzed the blood sample, and looked at the tumor marker values displayed on the screen. The number was dropping at an alarming rate!
