Gu Jingtian glanced at the basket of eggs placed in the corner by Zhu Yanyi. "From a patient."
Patients cured by Zhu Yanyi often brought food or toys as tokens of gratitude.
"Zhou Meixiang came for a follow-up check just now. She and her son gave these," Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly.
"It is their blessing to have met you," Gu Jingtian praised, then shifted to the main topic. "General Roth from the country has lung cancer. He arrives in the capital the day after tomorrow, primarily to seek your medical help."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are the instructions from above?"
"The instruction is to treat her as an ordinary patient. You should not feel any psychological burden." The implication was clear: Zhu Yanyi was expected to treat her. "Of course, if she can be cured, cure her. If not, do not force it."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. "They have already notified us. Can I refuse to treat her? Let’s wait until they arrive the day after tomorrow."
Cancer might be troublesome for others, but for Zhu Yanyi, it was not a concern. As a doctor, it was natural to treat patients with illnesses. She accepted the news calmly.
General Roth was a famous general in his country, nearly seventy years old. Rumor had it he was very warlike in his youth and remained so. His influence within his country was significant.
She sat aside while her assistant approached. "General, all luggage is ready. We depart at eight tonight. Would you like to rest?"
General Roth waved his hand slightly. "Charles, do you think this illness can be cured in Huaxia?"
Captain Charles was General Roth’s newly trained trusted guard and assistant. she straightened up immediately. "According to our analysis, there is an eighty percent chance of success." she continued, "The Little Divine Doctor’s medical skills are very famous in Huaxia. One of her most famous cases was curing liver cancer, and the patient has already been discharged successfully. I believe cancers are similar. Since she can cure liver cancer, she can certainly cure lung cancer."
General Roth laughed. "You are right. It is a pity this Little Divine Doctor is not from our country."
"Your Excellency, Huaxia protects people like the Little Divine Doctor highly. Even if we wanted to recruit her, we could not," Captain Charles said seriously.
Seeing Charles’s serious expression, General Roth said calmly, "Charles, do not worry about me. I know my body and have accepted my fate. Even if this trip does not cure me, I am still happy. It is just a pity I cannot personally go defeat those terrorists in the northern border of Country A."
"Your Excellency, there will be opportunities. Believe that God is merciful. God is with us," Captain Charles comforted him.
General Roth smiled gladly. In his heart, he was also full of hope, hoping this trip to Huaxia would not disappoint him.
"General Roth’s arrival in Huaxia is confirmed for tomorrow afternoon. How is the security work?" The Big Boss asked Secretary Liu. Although General Roth’s visit was not a formal diplomatic matter, as a guest seeking medical treatment, the Big Boss still attached great importance to it.
Secretary Liu replied, "Your Excellency, please rest assured. Old Man Yun is personally overseeing the arrangements. There will be no loopholes."
"Has the Capital Hospital been arranged? Has Zhu Yanyi been notified?" the Big Boss continued.
"Dean Gu Jingtian has already notified Zhu Yanyi. There should be no problems," Secretary Liu said earnestly.
The Big Boss nodded, indicating he understood, then said, "We must not let our guard down. Have people pay close attention. You also check everything again."
"Yes," Secretary Liu nodded quickly and left to notify others for the final inspection.
Gu Jingtian’s special hospitalization area was checked and re-checked.
Zhu Yanyi observed these matters but did not care much. She did not have the leisure time to manage such things. It was better to spend that time studying more prescriptions.
As soon as General Roth arrived, he was secretly transferred to the special ward of the Capital Hospital. Bodyguards surrounded him inside and out, appearing relaxed externally but tight internally.
Zhu Yanyi looked at General Roth without much pressure. She nodded slightly and directly took her pulse.
After thirty seconds, she said to General Roth, "Late-stage lung cancer."
General Roth looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, did you read my files?"
"I do not have that much time. I prefer to diagnose directly," Zhu Yanyi said straightforwardly.
"You knew just by taking my pulse?" General Roth was half-doubting. Did such medical skills really exist in the world?
"Traditional Chinese Medicine is like this," Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "Although it is late-stage lung cancer, the cancer cells have not yet ulcerated. Therefore, treatment will not be too troublesome."
"Your meaning is, I can still be cured?" General Roth asked, his tone holding a hint of disbelief.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at General Roth. "If you could not be cured, why did you come to Huaxia to find me?" Zhu Yanyi showed no favoritism. She did not give special treatment because she was a general from another country. "You came to find me because you wanted me to cure you. If I did not have this ability, you would not have come. So, curing you is very normal. There is no need to be surprised."
Zhu Yanyi’s words made General Roth pause. Then she said, "Then what do I need to do?"
"During treatment, you cannot smoke, drink, or eat overly greasy or stimulating foods. Your daily diet should be light," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. She then took out a piece of paper. "This is a list of foods you cannot eat during treatment."
Captain Charles beside her took it and read it. Most of the items were greasy meat products.
"Can I not eat beef either?" Captain Charles asked.
"Beef is warm in nature. Generally, it can be eaten. But for cancer patients, it cannot be eaten. Cancer pathogens are different from other pathogens. They can infect anything nutritious. Beef is a very nutritious food, so it cannot be eaten during treatment. However, after the treatment stage, when entering the recovery stage, you can drink a little beef soup," Zhu Yanyi said directly.
She then looked at General Roth and Captain Charles and continued, "During treatment, the hospital will specially prepare and deliver your meals. I gave you this list mainly because I worry the General might crave food and lose control. So, I must tell you in advance. If you eat the wrong food and cause an accident during my treatment, I will directly give up treating you."
