Chapter 248: Sky-high Medical Fees
It was almost eight o'clock when Su Bingran hurried to the hospital.
Today he came more than half an hour later than usual, probably because something happened on the way. Since Sophie was hospitalized, Su Bingran came to the hospital to see her every morning, and he was always on time.
I would arrive at the hospital around 7:30, spend about 20 minutes with Sophie, and then rush off to work.
"Xiao Fei, Li Quan!"
Su Bingran took the initiative to greet the two of them.
Li Quan's performance in recent times has also won Su Bingran's trust and favor. He has already treated Li Quan as his son-in-law.
"dad!"
"Morning, Uncle Su!"
Li Quan put down the medical book in his hand and greeted Su Bingran with a smile.
He found that Su Bingran was different from his usual serious face. Today, Su Bingran actually had a smile on his face.
It was a relaxed smile when the haze had cleared and the burden in one's heart was put down.
"I have good news for you. I have invited a famous American expert. I heard that he is particularly good at treating leukemia and has cured thousands of leukemia patients. I have just talked to him and he has agreed to come to Huier Hospital to treat Xiaofei . If everything goes well, he should be here within a week."
Su Bingran announced the good news excitedly.
"Very good!"
Both Li Quan and Sophie felt extremely happy.
It is undeniable that foreign experts are indeed at the forefront in the treatment of leukemia.
Many of their techniques and experiences are more advanced than those of doctors in our country.
"Oh, by the way, Li Quan, can you stay here with Xiaofei for a little longer this morning? Your aunt Su and I have to go out to do something." After Su Bingran announced the good news, he made another request to Li Quan.
"Not to mention staying with Sophie for a whole morning, even staying with her for a whole day is no problem. Just go and do what you have to do." Li Quan has a lot of freedom when working in the hospital.
Because the hospital has not arranged any treatment for him during this period .
When it comes to reading, he can read anywhere.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
After saying that, Su Bingran looked at Sophie again.
"Xiao Fei, Dad will come to see you in the evening."
"Okay! Dad, don't work too hard! I see wrinkles on your forehead and more white hair on your temples." Sophie felt distressed seeing her father working hard for her day and night.
As the head of the family, Su Bingran's daughter is seriously ill. He has to work hard to make money, worry about all the big and small things at home, and find better treatment plans and doctors for his daughter... It's really tiring.
"Bingran, what do you want me to do together?" Sophie's mother asked in confusion.
It seems that the couple had not discussed it beforehand.
"Come on, I'll tell you later."
Su Bingran took his wife out of the ward.
The sound of two people talking could be heard faintly.
"The foreign expert I invited this time asked for 50 million. How can I come up with that much money except by selling the house? Isn't our house a joint property of the couple? I can't sell it alone. The couple must go together..."
"Do you really want to sell the house? Is there no other way?" Sophie's mother asked.
"Shh, keep your voice down. Xiaofei must not know about this. Let's go quickly. I have already made an appointment with the real estate agent."
The two people gradually walked away and the sound disappeared.
“Wuwuwu…”
Li Quan heard a suppressed cry.
As soon as I saw it, I was immediately panicked.
"Oh, why are you crying suddenly? Weren't you very happy when you heard that foreign experts were coming?" Li Quan quickly hugged her and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"It's all my fault that I've dragged my parents down. Now they even have to sell the house they live in... wuwu..." She sobbed on Li Quan's shoulder.
"Okay, don't cry. Money is just a thing outside of your body. Your parents are willing to sell their house to pay for your medical treatment because they love you. To them, you are much more important than that house. Don't worry, when they get old and can't make money, you and I will take care of them in their old age. I will buy a bigger house and bring my parents over, so that we can live together happily and happily."
Li Quan patted her back gently and finally persuaded her to calm down.
"Baby, all you have to do now is to cooperate with the treatment, stay optimistic, and get well soon. Got it?"
Li Quan held her face and gently wiped away her tears.
"Um!"
She nodded vigorously.
After Li Quan coaxed her to sleep, he was wondering in his heart, what kind of expert did Su Bingran invite? Now that he hasn't even arrived yet, he's asking for 50 million yuan in appearance fees. This is more powerful than the President of the United States.
What he was most worried about was that Su Bingran was cheated.
The next time I see Su Bingran, I will definitely remind him.
Li Quan calmed himself down and continued reading medical books.
…
It was not until after seven in the evening that Su Bingran and his wife rushed back to the hospital.
They all looked exhausted, and the disappointment deep in their eyes could not be hidden.
"Dad, I heard everything you and Mom said this morning. Did you really sell the house to pay for my medical treatment?" Sophie said, her eyes red again.
"Silly child, what is a house? Compared to you, let alone a house, even if your mother and I had to give up everything, we would be willing to do so without any regrets. The house has been successfully sold. Because we were in a hurry to sell it, the price was much lower than the market price. But we have finally raised enough money to invite foreign experts to come and treat you."
Su Bingran knew that his daughter had already known the matter, so he no longer concealed it.
If you are in a hurry to sell the house to pay for medical treatment, the buyer will definitely lower the price.
"Uncle Su, there are some things I shouldn't say. But I still want to remind you that it's best to pay a small amount of the foreign expert's fee in advance, or pay after the meeting, so as to avoid being cheated."
Li Quan reminded kindly.
"Don't worry, the middleman is a local and an acquaintance of mine. He will never cheat me." Su Bingran didn't listen.
"At noon, I specifically asked two of my friends who studied abroad, and they both said that the appearance fee of foreign doctors could not be as high as tens of millions. Do you know the name of the expert you invited? Otherwise, I will ask someone to check it out."
Li Quan also took advantage of the lunch time to consult Secretary Chen and Professor Sun Limin about this matter.
They all said that the consultation fee for foreign experts, if their round-trip travel expenses, food and accommodation expenses were included, would not exceed one million at most.
The consultation fee of 50 million is simply the most astronomical price among astronomical prices.
"Let me think, the expert seems to be called Robert." Su Bingran was also eager to save his daughter, so he was confused.
Now after listening to Li Quan's words, I became somewhat alert.
"Do you know which hospital you work in?" Li Quan asked again.
There are so many doctors in the United States, and there must be quite a few named Robert. If you want to find this person quickly, the more information you know, the better.
"Well... I haven't asked that. I'll ask my friend later. Your reminder just now is not unreasonable. I will be more careful." Su Bingran is a manager after all, so his IQ must be high.
He now took Li Quan's words to heart.
Li Quan used WeChat to ask Secretary Chen and Professor Sun Limin whether there was an American doctor named Robert?
They all said they would ask their friends to help find out.
Inadvertently, he glanced at a text message icon displayed on the top of the phone.
This is because the information was received but not checked.
I flipped through it and it wasn't a short message.
When I looked again, I found that I had received a new email.
Li Quan couldn't help but get excited. Could it be that Aixen had written back to him?
