Chapter 1647: Chapter 1651: Not Very Confident…! (Third Update)
Even the British royal family, a symbol of the nation’s strength (mascot), cannot escape the torment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Moreover, this Prince William nearly committed suicide because of trigeminal neuralgia!
So, for many years, Prince William has rarely participated in international exchanges due to his suffering.
However, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and the British royal family possesses considerable assets worldwide.
After all, even without power, their capital ensures a carefree life.
As the Queen’s youngest son, William was conferred numerous titles like Earl of Wessex, Baron of Frey… at adulthood.
This clearly shows a preference for him.
However, in his mid-twenties, severe trigeminal neuralgia presented a challenge for this promising earl.
In the following five years, he underwent various treatments and surgeries that showed improvement but eventually relapsed and worsened!
Frequent attacks, exacerbated by stimuli, lasted up to an hour in severe cases!
This even led William to have suicidal tendencies.
Thus, this has always been a source of anxiety for the Queen!
When William’s wife relayed Chen Cang’s news to the Queen without alteration, Queen Eli was immediately overjoyed!
She immediately hoped for a detailed conversation with Chen Cang.
She then directly contacted fellows of the British Royal Academy of Medicine, inviting them to participate in tomorrow’s video conference to jointly discuss the feasibility of this surgery.
The surgery couldn’t proceed.
Hong Ji and Chen Cang exited together from the operating room.
William was sent to the ward, and he should regain consciousness soon.
Meanwhile, Chen Cang was taken to the office by Hong Ji.
Xiao Runfang enthusiastically introduced Chen Cang to these Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials and William’s wife.
Truth be told, Chen Cang wasn’t very interested.
He was no longer the young doctor who had just ventured out of Anyang and hadn’t seen much of the world. Nowadays, Chen Cang could easily not take this little prince too seriously.
However, because this concerns diplomatic relations, it’s not about who is more esteemed!
That’s why Chen Cang put forth so much effort.
Furthermore, Chen Cang eagerly anticipated today’s task reward.
Xiao Runfang was extremely proud at the moment.
After all, our Chinese doctors are remarkable; others couldn’t treat Prince William, but coming to China, it was possible!
This is something to be proud of when spoken of!
Even the old leader was smiling as he watched the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials, with a pride that wasn’t hidden.
He nodded approvingly at Chen Cang.
This young man brought pride to himself and to the country.
Today, London must be bustling with excitement.
Those Brits are surely discussing this seriously.
Thinking of this, the old leader found Chen Cang’s face more pleasant to look at.
However, because the person involved was still under anesthesia, in-depth discussions were not possible tonight.
Staff members arranged accommodations for William’s wife and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials.
Just as Chen Cang was about to leave, the old leader called him back.
“In such a hurry to leave, hiding treasures at home?”
The old leader’s joking remark immediately closed the gap between them.
It also left the experts around a bit stunned.
The old leader joking with Chen Cang?
Chen Cang turned around, awkwardly smiled: “No, no, leader, my mistake.”
The leader approached, followed closely by Xiao Runfang.
With no outsiders present, they could speak openly.
“Professor Chen, the idea you mentioned today, is it feasible?” asked the leader with a smile.
Chen Cang nodded: “Yes, quite feasible.”
“Have you done it before?”
Chen Cang blushed, does virtual space count?
“No.”
The response left everyone taken aback.
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, even the leader paused for a moment before asking, “Never done it… How confident are you?”
Chen Cang awkwardly laughed, thinking of the nearly 100% success rate in his virtual space, decided to be conservative: “Well… maybe not very high.”
“Around… ninety percent!”
When Chen Cang mentioned he wasn’t very confident, the leader grew a bit concerned, and the people around prepared themselves!
But!
When he calmly stated ninety percent, everyone fell silent.
Is this… low?
Hong Ji, engaging Chen Cang for the first time, seriously wanted to ask:
Are you sure you’re not showboating?
Indeed!
Even the leader laughed at Chen Cang’s words.
Pointing at Chen Cang, he laughed and said, “You rascal…”
Chen Cang awkwardly smiled.
“Head back early, no pressure, do what you can, if not, it’s okay, Sino-British friendship doesn’t hinge on a young prince.”
“But… if you succeed, you’ll be credited!”
“Hurry back, we don’t provide meals here.”
Chen Cang suddenly realized, the leaders on TV aren’t just paper cut-outs, they are real, lively old gentlemen!
Sure enough, the leader’s words amused everyone.
Chen Cang, finding it both funny and annoying, greeted them and left in a hurry.
Xiao Runfang watched Chen Cang’s retreating figure, envious.
The old leader rarely joked with someone like this.
Having worked with the old leader for so many years, even when facing his own children, he seldom joked like this.
Not just Xiao Runfang, but even Hong Ji and others watching Chen Cang leave, felt a bit emotional and envious.
…
…
The next day, Chen Cang arrived at the hospital early.
With Hong Ji leading the way, Chen Cang first went to see William.
Upon seeing Chen Cang, William’s eyes lit up as if seeing a savior!
“Professor Chen! Hello!”
Before Chen Cang could speak, William hurriedly said, “I heard you might have an opportunity to treat my trigeminal neuralgia, please, help me!”
William’s expression was akin to most patients.
Having experienced too many medical failures, William had become desperate, and upon hearing of today’s opportunity, he was like a drowning person grabbing onto the last straw, unwilling to let go.
Chen Cang nodded: “This is my duty, but surgery carries risks, you understand that.”
William let out a bitter smile, shaking his head, with a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes, exuding an aura of noble melancholy.
This left Chen Cang dumbfounded.
This… generational aristocratic indoctrination is truly bone-deep.
Damn, even melancholy has such charisma.
William bitterly smiled and said: “Living feels burdensome, this pain… makes life unbearable.”
“As long as the pain can be alleviated, I’m willing to take any risks!”
Seeing this, Chen Cang really wanted to retrieve a consent form and surgery notification.
Unfortunately…
It’s not realistic.
The prince and his queen still needed a morning discussion.
Having a large family is indeed troublesome.
