307 Pancreatic Cancer
Shen Wanying was slightly stunned before she answered, “I’m here.”
Only then did the nanny see Shen Wanying. She immediately turned around and said, “Huh? Miss Shen, you’ve arrived too? Please enter then.”
Shen Wanying nodded and entered the kindergarten’s gate.
She then asked, “How is Dean Lin today?”
She asked this question but didn’t hear any reply. When she turned around again, she realized that the nanny was still at the gate and didn’t follow her.
She frowned slightly, only to hear the nanny say, “Xiaomeng’s mother, Miss Shen, don’t be waiting here. Dean Lin is looking for you.”
Shen Wanying. “?”
Shen Wanying frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed past her face. However, She didn’t say much and just headed straight for Dean Lin’s office.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing became the center of attention.
Everyone looked at her. They didn’t know why Dean Lin had given her special treatment, but they still made way for her.
Shen Ruojing then passed through the crowd and arrived at the kindergarten’s gate. The nanny was planning to bring her in when she suddenly saw a figure walking over from afar.
Chu Cichen had a tall stature, standing out amongst the crowd with his height of 1.88 meters. In addition to his composed disposition, as well as his handsome and distinct features, he became the center of attention the moment he got out of the car.
He walked over with quick steps, and all the distinguished married women nearby couldn’t help but make way for him.
Chu Cichen quickly arrived next to the two of them and asked in a soft voice, “What’s the reason Dean Lin is looking for my wife?”
The man said the words “my wife” with great familiarity and composure, as if he had addressed her in this manner for very long and had gotten used to it.
However, when Shen Ruojing heard this, she was slightly startled, and it caused her cheeks to slowly flush.
When the nanny saw Chu Cichen, she was also slightly taken aback. Most families would only send one person to fetch their kids. Therefore, the nanny didn’t expect the children’s father to be around as well. She thought about it for a moment before continuing, “Xiaomeng’s father, you can come in too!”
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen then walked alongside each other and followed the nanny.
They quickly arrived at Dean Lin’s office. The nanny then knocked on the door and pushed it open. After that, Shen Ruojing walked in and happened to see Dean Lin withdrawing her hand after having her pulse taken.
Right now, Shen Wanying put the small wrist rest into her medical box and said, “You still have to take the medicine daily. Breakfast is a must. Take some soft food like porridge. Even if you don’t have an appetite, you still have to eat. Gastric illness isn’t something that one can recover from easily and it takes a long time to heal it.”
Dean Lin nodded.
Gastric illness…
Shen Ruojing had only come to pick the children up because she was worried about Dean Lin’s body. Right now, they happened to be in a consultation, so she started, “Dean Lin, I suspect that you have cancer…”
Before she finished her words, the nanny suddenly spoke in a strange tone, “Miss Shen, our dean has gotten a medical checkup! There’s indeed an anomaly in her gastric, but we’ve seen a doctor and he assured us that it’s gastritis and gastric ulcer. The doctor’s assessment is the same as Madam Shen Wanying’s! Don’t try to scare us here!”
Gastric ulcer?
Shen Ruojing frowned. “Is the result based on a CT scan? Or a gastroscopy?”
The nanny. “… The dean took both.”
Shen Ruojing asked again, “Then what about the organs around the gastric? Were they scanned when the CT scan was conducted?”
At this moment, the nanny had become impatient. “Haven’t you said enough? Do you really think of yourself as a divine doctor?”
However, Shen Ruojing didn’t mind this. Instead, she looked at Dean Lin Yi. “Dean Lin, I suggest you undergo a full-body CT scan, especially for the organs around your gastric. When the CT scan is performed, some organs might be missed out because the organs are piled together, like the pancreas…”
Before Shen Ruojing could finish her sentence, the nanny interrupted her, “Miss Shen, you should know that there’s radiation involved in these scans, right? Pregnant women are forbidden from doing these scans. Although Dean Lin isn’t pregnant, her body is already very weak. There’s a limited number of times she can do such scans every year. We’ve done a full-body checkup and there’s no problem at all. Moreover, Madam Shen Wanying has taken Dean Lin’s pulse for so many years and never made a mistake before. She has also been the one to treat Dean Lin’s gastric illness. Even she said that she didn’t assess the presence of cancer! Can you stop talking nonsense here?”
“Madam Chu is just worried due to concern,” Shen Wanying said indifferently. She then looked at Shen Ruojing with a faint smile. “After all, Madam Chu is also a medical student. It’s understandable for her to want to help.”
When the nanny heard this, the corners of her lips curled up mockingly. She wanted to say something, but considering that there were outsiders around, she didn’t say anything in the end.
What medical student? That was just a lie!
Shen Ruojing pursed her lips.
Judging from Dean Lin Yi’s countenance, it was definitely not as simple as a gastric ulcer.
The pancreas was situated right behind the gastric and didn’t have a sense of pain. When undergoing CT scans, it was easily covered up by the gastric. Therefore, the early stages of pancreatic cancer were often mistaken as gastric illness.
And it just so happened that Dean Lin Yi also had a gastric illness. That was why her condition was treated as such.
Shen Wanying was young, so of course she wasn’t able to diagnose this.
Shen Ruojing wanted to say more when Lin Yi lowered her gaze and said, “That’s enough. Xiaomeng’s parents, please take a seat. The reason I’ve called for you is because I want to discuss the children’s issues with you.”
After saying that, she took a look at Shen Wanying.
Shen Wanying immediately packed up her medical kit and stood up, heading out with it in her hands. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. However, Dean Lin, you must listen to the doctor’s orders.”
“Alright.”
After Shen Wanying went out, Shen Ruojing heard Dean Lin say, “I observed the three children yesterday. They are really geniuses with high intelligence and shouldn’t be buried in a small kindergarten. This is especially so for Xiaomeng. There’s clearly a flaw in her character, but her intelligence is shockingly high. She’s a good material for becoming a researcher.”
Chu Cichen frowned and said, “What Dean Lin is trying to say is…?”
Lin Yi spoke up, “I’ve contacted Professor Sparton who is overseas, and I’ve told him about the three children’s situation. He has a great reputation in the education circle and is a professional in nurturing talented children. He has retired and I’ve invited him to China to take in a few students to nurture. Soon, he’ll stay in the school as the kindergarten’s consultant. However, it’ll be up to their fate to see if they can be picked by him.”
When Chu Cichen heard the name Sparton, his phoenix eyes flickered. He quickly stood up. “Dean Lin, thank you very much.”
Shen Ruojing’s gaze also deepened a little.
Of course, she knew how hard it was to invite Sparton. Back in Sea City, she had considered asking Sparton to teach Xiaomeng. However, Sparton wouldn’t come to China and Shen Ruojing didn’t wish to be parted with Xiaomeng either. Therefore, she gave up without trying this option.
Dean Lin didn’t know of her identity at all and seemed to have some dissatisfaction with her for some reason. Despite this, Dean Lin was still willing to go this far for the children…
Now, Shen Ruojing finally understood why Chu Cichen insisted on picking this kindergarten.
It was because there was a good dean here who taught according to aptitude.
Since that was the case, she was determined to treat Dean Lin’s illness!
