Fortunately for Hangzhou, the prosthetic doctor who had just installed a prosthetic hand on him did not leave the clinic... and he did master a pretty good level of medical skills.

He opened two intravenous channels for Xiaoya, one for blood transfusion and the other for infusion. Now her condition has improved visibly, at least she is no longer as endangered as before, and she has even regained consciousness.

But Strangler did not leave directly because of this.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that communication with others was too troublesome. Especially since he had just said the shameful words "Either die together or live together."

But he could realize very clearly that if he left like this, he would definitely regret it in the future.

So he stayed.

Think of it as a kind of insurance. This is how strangulation convinces itself.

So far, the prosthetic doctor has done nothing more than rescuing the person. Xiaoya was cut off a large part of her tail by a high-heat laser. It was not just a matter of amputation, her remaining

A small section of the tail also needs to be removed.

A little residual heat from the laser still accumulates around the wound, which will continue to raise the body temperature. The surrounding skin will gradually turn red, and the red marks will continue to spread. And the tissues that are burned to the point of emitting fragrance must also 4286/4297

Chapter 587 Let me introduce you to Strangler’s first love

Removal - Even for grilled fish, it has been overcooked. This kind of tissue is obviously impossible to bring back to life, so it is necessary to remove all the necrotic flesh and blood. During this period, anti-infection treatment must be done.

The danger is constant.

The surgery she needs to undergo is very complicated and difficult, and the strangulation must be watched. If the doctor can't solve it, he needs to immediately send Xiaoya to other more regular hospitals - such as Ampoule Biomedical's branch in Yongquan Island.

Their medical skills are always the best on the island.

Because there cannot be doctors with better skills than the people at Ampoule Biomedical—if they really exist and cannot be recruited, then the people at Ampoule Group will also cut them off.

Of course, he didn't know the people in Ampoule, and he didn't have any money. But after all, they came to Yongquan Island on behalf of the "godfather"... As agents dispatched by Tianen Group, they should be able to apply for some funds and go through some employee channels.

Something like that.

——Strangler used this idea to convince himself to stay here.

However, just looking at Xiaoya lying on the operating table, being watched with a smile by her, watching her silently shedding tears of joy, Hangsu would feel something strange in his body.

It's like wearing clothes that are not breathable enough after exercise...the heat cannot escape and the skin cannot breathe. I feel that my cheeks are a little warm, all the way to the cheeks outside the ears, as if I have a low fever. But the bones and skin are not at all.

It hurts, and I feel a little inexplicably excited...

It's like drinking very strong alcohol.

He has never felt this way.

...However, it doesn’t seem to be bad.

"Let's finish it for now."

The prosthetic doctor stopped what he was doing: "For now, the condition will not continue to deteriorate..."

"--temporary?"

Strangler looked over with a ferocious expression.

He was not actually angry. But his face, just by frowning, would look as ferocious as if he wanted to eat people.

However, the prosthetic doctor was obviously well-informed, and he replied calmly: "Yes, for the time being.

"Because the subsequent surgery is irreversible. Generally speaking, you need to ask your family members for their opinions, but Xiaoya doesn't have any family members.

"So I need to keep her conscious and ask her for her own opinion in this situation."

The doctor looked at the mermaid whose tail was cut off and asked: "Xiaoya, in fact, it is difficult to save your tail.

"Even if you picked up the severed tail as soon as possible - the diameter of the necrotic tissue is close to three centimeters deep. This means that six centimeters of flesh and blood must be removed from the top and bottom, and the length of the remaining tail will not exceed ten centimeters.

.Also, I suspect that the spinal cord part of the tailbone may also be infected...from this angle

Specifically, more part of the tailbone needs to be removed.

"Now I'll give you three options. One is to remove all the tail from the root down, and then replace it all with a mechanical prosthesis. It can be a snake tail or a fish tail. It won't be much different from your previous action mode. Because

If you need to reprogram your nerves, it will be difficult for you to switch to another prosthetic body later, so think carefully.

"The second option is to move the resection site upward. I can only complete the first step of the operation, and then I need to transfer it to Ampoule Biomedical to create two legs for you. This level of surgery

It is a spiritual modification surgery, which is considered a major surgery and carries a considerable risk of death... Of course, it can also be completely replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, which will greatly reduce the risk.

"The third option is to cut off only the smallest part. You can still keep nearly ten centimeters of tail length, and then use a wheelchair or an exoskeleton to walk. There is no additional surgery, no risk, and no cost."

It’s also the lowest. You can switch to the first or second type at any time after that, but you still have to do it as soon as possible. It’s best to have the surgery at about three months.”

After listening to the prosthetic doctor's words, Xiaoya subconsciously looked at Strangler.

"Mr. Mahavira...

She asked in a low voice: "How would you like me to choose?"

"It depends on yourself."

Hangzhou was silent for a while, then said seriously: "You have to be your own master. I can't make decisions for you."

But I just hope you can make the decision for me...

Xiaoya bit her lip.

She was a little disappointed that Hangsha didn't give a direct answer.

But she still gathered some courage and turned to ask the doctor: "If I want to accept the second possibility...how much will it cost? What is the risk of death?"

"It's the same problem."

The prosthetic doctor still wore his mask, taking a long breath, and replied calmly: "The more money you give, the lower the risk."

"...What if it's my deposit?"

"It's a pity, Xiaoya. Without considering the loan, it may not even be enough for the package with the lowest success rate. But if it is a fish tail prosthetic body, it is probably just enough; if it is a snake tail prosthetic body, it is still enough.

I can leave half of it."

The prosthetist replied absently: "After all, it is my inventory here. I can sell it to you at the purchase price, and the surgery fee will not be charged. If you go elsewhere, you will probably only be able to buy a snake tail. And I guarantee it.

, the quality will not be as good as what I have here - it may even be second-hand refurbished goods, or even black prosthetics made by dead people. I can guarantee that the ones I have here are definitely original goods."

"Then let's go with the third type."

Xiaoya was silent for a while and replied firmly.

The doctor was a little surprised, stopped what he was doing, and turned around.

He thought for a moment and pulled down his mask. His dull voice became clear as a result.

"Can I ask what you think?"

"I want...a pair of human legs."

Xiaoya glanced at Strangler again and said softly: "A pair of... beautiful enough legs."

"...Oh. That's right. Speaking of which, it's not like I haven't heard similar requests at all."

The prosthetic doctor sighed and put on the mask again: "Then I'll cut off your tail first.

"Do you want to eat some cake first? After the operation, you may not be able to eat for a few days. And you will not have the appetite for cake for a long time afterward."

He said, looking at the somewhat broken cake on the table.

It was just when Hangsha was getting anxious and uncomfortable from waiting, he ran to the cake shop and got it back.

The owner of the cake shop had already burped, so it was natural that he didn't pay for it. But this was originally the cake Xiaoya ordered, and she might have already paid for it. This belongs to them.

"...Can I eat cake before the operation?" Strangler confirmed.

"The cream part is not good, but I can eat some cake and strawberries. She must be hungry too."

The doctor sighed: "But we still have to

Eat less. I will pay special attention not to use drugs that slow down gastric motility.

"After all, if I say I can't eat it at all, the child will be very sad, right? She has been waiting for a long time. She has wanted to eat the strawberry cake from this store for a long time.

"And didn't you say that the owner of that shop is dead? There will never be cakes with such a taste in the future.

"I'm not a very competent doctor...but rather a deviant one. Compared with teachings about 'good health for patients,' I am the type who is easier to persuade. After all, for many people, health is not the first priority.

One person. Some things are more important than health...and deserve more attention.

"Moreover, I think having someone to eat cake with her will make her feel better. If she feels better, it will also help her recovery. A healthy and happy heart is the best medicine."

Upon hearing this, Hangzhou's pupils shrank slightly. Then they returned to their original shape.

For a moment, he was a little distracted.

...Not just Xiaoya, he thought to himself.

He also waited for a long time.

I have been waiting for more than ten years...or, in other words, twenty-eight years.

This was the first time in his life that someone was willing to sit down and eat cake with him.

"——Hey, Nobita."
