The Enemy's Heir - Chapter 9
Tang Ke glanced at him and understood what he meant.
If such an operation is successful, it will surely cause a sensation in the entire scientific research field once it is published, but if it fails, it will be lost without a trace and mixed in with a bunch of papers that no one cares about.
Jiang Xu must have checked a lot of papers recently.
Facing Tang Ke’s inquiring eyes, Jiang Xu said bluntly: “There have been three cases. One adult died, one child died, and one did not survive.”
Therefore, even the video of the operation cannot be found on the Internet, and the relevant literature is also very scarce.
I barely found some, and it only mentioned unexplained massive bleeding, multiple organ failure, hemorrhagic shock… just a few words to summarize the death.
Tang Ke had not thought of this before. After listening to Jiang Xu’s words, he realized belatedly that the danger might be greater than he thought. The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while. Tang Ke didn’t know what to say. After thinking for a while, he said: “It’s a blessing in disguise. There is this successful case in the United States.”
Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on a thick stack of examination forms, “The fetus’s condition… is better than I expected.”
It was a faint sentence, and it was hard to hear the tone.
He and Shen Fangyu had drunk a lot of fake wine that ridiculous night. In the past few months, he drank a huge amount of coffee, stayed up all night, and accidentally did a cranial CT scan. He even had a solid fight with Shen Fangyu in the boxing gym in the hospital lounge.
He originally thought that the child’s condition would not be very good.
“You heard the fetal heartbeat yourself, and you saw the various examination indicators,” Tang Ke said: “Your child is just like you, with hard bones.”
A child who was not expected, but has such a tenacious vitality.
“I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.” Jiang Xu commented.
The light blue window screen was swaying gently in the breeze. Tang Ke looked at Jiang Xu. Time had not left too many traces on this man. Except for a more stable temperament, Jiang Xu’s appearance had hardly changed since college.
When he was studying, Jiang Xu had never lacked suitors because of this face. When he first started working, many people even assumed that a boy like him must have a girlfriend. But as a good friend of Jiang Xu for many years, Tang Ke knew that Jiang Xu had never even held a girl’s hand.
He originally thought that Jiang Xu, a top student, had long since gotten rid of the interests of ordinary people such as love, but he never expected that there would be such a thing today. He seemed to sigh, “Why didn’t I realize that you like boys before.”
He changed his tone to a teasing one, trying to make the atmosphere seem more relaxed, “No wonder you were indifferent when so many girls pursued you back then, I thought you wanted to devote your life to medicine.”
Jiang Xu twitched his mouth, “I don’t like men.”
Tang Ke was surprised: “Then why did you go to bed with men and be a 0?”
Jiang Xu: “…”
The sperm must have fallen into his body and then swam along the soft catheter. Jiang Xu had no reason to deny it.
Tang Ke seemed to understand something from Jiang Xu’s avoidance of the topic. Combined with the fact that Jiang Xu came for the check-up alone throughout the whole process and was determined not to have a child, he instantly imagined a tragic love story of “I love you but you don’t love me” and said cautiously, “Is the baby’s father a scumbag?”
Jiang Xu’s eyes penetrated from under the thin lenses and fell on Tang Ke’s face. “For your personal safety, I advise you not to ask.”
Tang Ke was familiar with Jiang Xu and knew that he was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, especially to his friends. Therefore, he was not afraid of Jiang Xu, but became more curious. “Didn’t you ask him if he wanted the child?”
Jiang Xu pulled his hair irritably. “He doesn’t know.”
“Then you should tell him,” Tang Ke said. “Your situation is different from ordinary pregnancy. The risk factor is so high. What if something goes wrong? You two should discuss it and make an idea so that you can have an idea sooner.”
Jiang Xu bit his lower lip. “I can’t speak.”
“It’s okay,” Tang could think that Jiang Xu was worried that he couldn’t accept the fact that a man was pregnant. “You are a doctor yourself, so just explain it to him. After all, it’s just a rare disease. There are all kinds of things in the world. If he can’t accept it, let him come to me and I’ll tell him.”
At the end, he remembered something and made a joke, “But the baby’s father is in good health. The sperm of ordinary men can’t swim through such a long soft catheter.”
He gossiped, “Bring him to me next time? Let him donate some sperm to benefit the sperm bank in our province, and the subsidy is nearly one thousand.”
Jiang Xu was quiet for a moment, and looked at Tang Ke with an ambiguous look.
Medical school students don’t shy away from talking about these things. Even teachers will popularize the increasingly serious male problems in class and claim that there are now as many as 10% of middle-aged men with s*xual dysfunction.
And Tang Ke once cursed Shen Fangyu passionately in the dormitory because Shen Fangyu grabbed a rebound in front of the girl he liked, which attracted the attention of the girls. Shen Fangyu must be one of the ten.
I wonder what Tang Ke would think if he knew that the person he just praised was Shen Fangyu.
“What’s that expression?” Tang Ke asked.
Jiang Xu coughed twice, then said to Tang Ke, “Do you know this person?”
“Who is that?” Tang Ke said, “Could it be our college classmate?” He immediately went through all the classmates that Jiang Xu had been friends with in his mind.
Jiang Xu looked into Tang Ke’s expectant and gossipy eyes, and was very worried that he would have a cardiac arrest because of the shock.
However, his s*x life history was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so it was impossible to find another suspect at this moment.
Jiang Xu was very indifferent to s*x life, neither pursuing nor resisting it, and he had never thought about what kind of person he would have a relationship with.
Because of his busy studies and work, and the competition with Shen Fangyu, Jiang Xu had not had a relaxing day since he was a freshman. Every day was more tiring than in the third year of high school. He had no time to find a partner, so he had never slept with anyone.
If he had known that the first time would be with Shen Fangyu, and he was the one below, he would definitely find a girl he liked and get married and start a family early, and stay away from this plague god, and it would be best if he never saw him in this life, and he would never get involved with him.
“Hurry up and tell me!” Tang Ke said, “Don’t keep me in suspense.”
“Do you really want to know?” Jiang Xu confirmed it one last time.
Facing Tang Ke who was nodding frantically, he finally said ruthlessly: “Shen Fangyu.”
With a “clang”, the elegant Dr. Tang fell to the ground.
