Dean Zhu explains to Zhou Can that rehiring former staff is impossible due to rules, though he agrees to a private donation. Zhou Can then receives the money from Nurse Chief Niu, who speculates about his close relationship with the Dean. Zhou Can heads to Provincial People's Hospital and sees Lu Fen there.

It is indeed commendable when individuals unite to offer assistance during times of crisis.

"Dr. Zhou!"

Upon witnessing Zhou Can's arrival, her face lit up with evident pleasure.

She promptly rose to greet him.

"Have you eaten lunch?"

"I don't have much of an appetite!"

She responded with a gentle shake of her head.

"How can you say that? Your father requires constant care right now. If you were to fall ill, who would look after him?"

Observing the young woman, Zhou Can experienced a pang of empathy he couldn't quite explain.

She appeared remarkably subdued, her eyes revealing a mixture of sorrow, bewilderment, and a sense of powerlessness.

"Please try not to be upset; I will be more cautious in the future."

Sensing a trace of rebuke in Zhou Can's tone, she became visibly frightened and unsure of how to react.

"What kind of food do you enjoy? I'll order something for delivery!"

Zhou Can retrieved his phone and opened a food delivery application.

The proliferation of delivery platforms across the nation had indeed made ordering meals remarkably convenient.

In the past, when leading surgical teams, Zhou Can had frequently taken the initiative to order food for everyone, a task he had become quite adept at.

"I... I can go purchase it myself. There's no need for you to worry about it."

She gestured emphatically with her hands.

"Do you know what your father wrote in that letter? He entrusted me with your care should anything happen to him. I'm a few years your senior, so you can think of me as an older brother. You have my contact details; don't hesitate to call me for any reason, at any time."

She did not appear particularly surprised by Zhou Can's statement.

"After my father regained consciousness, he mentioned it to me. He instructed me to heed your advice if he were no longer around. He suggested discussing matters with you."

Lu Fen lowered her gaze, nervously pleating the fabric of her sleeves.

"Even if your father were still with us, you could still consider me an older brother. I am an only child, just as you are. We can offer each other support. What would you like to eat? Tell me quickly, or I'll truly have to get upset!"

Zhou Can urged.

"Then... please just order some egg fried rice noodles for me! Just make sure they aren't too oily. And perhaps some seaweed soup to go with it."

She requested a simple meal.

"It's all ordered. The delivery address and contact number are set to yours. Please collect it when it arrives." Zhou Can efficiently completed the order and briefly showed her the phone screen.

"Why did you also purchase strawberries? They are rather expensive; please cancel them immediately!"

Her eyesight was remarkably keen.

Though the screen had only been visible for an instant, she had noticed the addition.

"A gesture is appropriate when receiving a dear sister, don't you think? If you enjoy them, I'll be sure to buy them for you next time as well." Zhou Can replied with a smile.

"I am not your 'dear sister'! Thank you for everything you did to save my father that day. I heard that many critical elements of the surgery were performed by you personally. I will forever cherish this profound gratitude."

She must have overheard this information from someone.

It is said that no wall is impermeable.

Certain actions, once taken, inevitably become known to others.

Zhou Can had never intended to keep his involvement a secret.

"If you truly wish to express your thanks, kindly refrain from constantly referring to me as 'you'! It creates a rather awkward distance. You may address me as 'brother,' or 'Brother Can,' or simply 'Zhou Can.'" As he spoke, Zhou Can recalled the generous donations from Dean Zhu and Director Xue.

First, he handed her 500 yuan in cash.

"This 500 yuan was given to me by Dean Zhu from Tuya Hospital to pass on to you. He was too occupied with his duties to visit personally and asked me to convey his best wishes to Director Lu, hoping for his swift recovery."

"Thank you ever so much! Tuya Hospital's care is truly remarkable... sob, sob!"

She accepted the money, her emotions overwhelming her, and she began to weep.

Only those who have endured the harshness and indifference of the world can truly appreciate the profound value of timely support.

The stark coldness and lack of compassion from the Third Hospital stood in sharp contrast to the warm concern extended by her father's former workplace, Tuya Hospital.

"There, there, don't cry!"

Zhou Can found himself particularly unsettled by crying women, offering the most basic form of consolation.

Despite his background as a wealthy second-generation individual, he was not inherently inclined towards a frivolous lifestyle.

"It is only during times of adversity that we discover who genuinely cares for us. Previously, my father's decision to leave Tuya Hospital for the Third Hospital, to secure funding for my overseas education, was a regrettable error on our part."

Her conscience was clearly burdened.

"Everyone errs; the important thing is to acknowledge and rectify those mistakes. Here is 1000 yuan from Xue Yan, the Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tuya Hospital, intended for your father. I will transfer it to you via WeChat."

Zhou Can promptly transferred 1000 yuan to her through WeChat.

This time, her tears were less pronounced; she merely sobbed quietly.

"By the way, how is Director Lu's condition progressing now?"

Noticing her distress and the escalating tears, Zhou Can realized he needed to redirect the conversation to help her regain composure.As Zhou Can inquired about her father's health, she dabbed her eyes with a tissue, her tears subsiding. "My dad's condition is currently quite stable, and he has even regained consciousness. The doctors have indicated his health is progressing, and they're planning to address his fracture within the next few days. Given that he recently underwent extensive surgery involving the displacement of multiple organs, the impact of his fall is severe. Therefore, the primary approach for the fracture will be manual realignment and the application of a plaster cast for stabilization." She detailed the current circumstances. "Director Lu's physical state truly doesn't allow for another major surgical procedure so soon. Opting for conservative methods to treat the fracture is undoubtedly the wisest choice. Down the line, once he has recuperated, if the fracture hasn't healed optimally, surgical intervention can be revisited. For the present moment, his survival remains the paramount concern."
