Xie Yuchen had seen many people in his life, so when he looked at Pan Bodas expression as he was leaving, he knew right away that the other man would agree to perform the surgery.

Then, the hallucination gradually faded away and his consciousness returned to the ward.

What he had seen just now was so clear that it took him a long time to get used to the ward. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

"What are you thinking about? Why did you question me like that? The doctor by his side asked him. They seemed to know each other very well.

I thought you gave me some medicine that made hallucinate, Xie Yuchen said quietly.

"A concussion can alter your consciousness. Just get some rest.

"Tu Dian," Xie Yuchen looked at him. "Did you get another promotion?"

"Thats the most cost-efficient way for the hospital to keep me. Dr. Tu Dian was very young, tall, and stood with a straight back. He had a craggier face than Xie Yuchen, but there seemed to be some similarities between their features.

"This is all just ephemeral. How come a clever person like you cant pass this level?"

"I just can't. If I do, my life will be even less interesting," Tu Dian examined Xie Yuchen's pupils and found that they were responding appropriately. He then examined the X-ray.

"I have a question. Whats a hemispherectomy?"

"A treatment for epilepsy. The cerebral hemisphere on one side of the seizure focus area is either totally or partially excised while leaving the basal ganglia and thalamus intact," Tu Dian took out a damaged wallet from his pocket that belonged to Xie Yuchen and handed it over. "They found your wallet in the car. After all these years, theres still not a single photo of anyone in it. All you carry around is a landscape photo. Where on earth did you take this scenic picture and why do you always carry it around with you?"

"How does that treat epilepsy? Can you explain it more clearly? And why are you so interested in my private affairs? You ask me that every time.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"The things you saw mustve already existed in your brain. Theyre either in your consciousness or subconscious. What you saw might have been some conclusions you reached in your subconscious," Tu Dian said. "Your subconscious may have already figured out the things that you didnt think you could figure recently.

Xie Yuchen stared at the ceiling as Tu Dian started walking out. "Any thoughts on the cooperation I mentioned to you before?" Tu Dian asked after taking a few steps.

"If I don't cooperate with you, will you poison me?"

"No."

"Then I won't cooperate with you."

Tu Dian smiled, "Ill keep publicizing you."

"Remember to go home and visit the elders."

"That's your home. You're the head of the Xie family."

Tu Dian was already far away at this point. As Xie Yuchen watched his retreating back, he noticed that the other man had already grown taller than him. The haze that the two of them had faced together when they were young had already become a distant past. He was no longer the same person he was back then.
