Chapter 96: Discharge
As the core of the entire Manhattan Island, Ye Dongqing, a native of New York, has been there countless times, and both the transportation and the environment are much better than those on Wall Street.
He was very impressed by Kanek's suggestion, the disadvantage is that the rent around is high, which is not suitable for ordinary employees to live, but it can attract more senior talents, and the company's relocation problem is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be considered again.
The next time I accompanied the real estate agent around, and looked at a total of six office buildings with an area of between 1,000 and 2,000 square meters, some with luxurious city views, and some with cheap rents, including the 80th floor of the Empire State Building, an American landmark building located in Midtown, but it has not been renovated for many years, and the property rights issue is in a mess, and it was directly crossed off the list by Ye Dongqing.
In the end, two targets were selected, one was the Puchuan Building on Wall Street, and the other was called "No. 4 Times Square", a new building with a height of more than 340 meters, which is located in the famous Times Square, surrounded by tourists from all over the world.
The former is more convenient, only a few hundred meters away from the current location, but the latter can rent billboards, advertise in Times Square for a long time, the office environment is also very comfortable, bright, at a height of more than 200 meters, there is no cover in all directions, and no noisy sound can be heard on the road.
There was no reply to the real estate agent for the time being, and he went to the hospital first after the tour.
The ophthalmologist named Mike happened to be on a ward round, and when he saw Ye Dongqing, he showed a smile: "I've been in the hospital for so long, I'm already impatient, right?"
Don't worry, I can help her remove the gauze now, if it weren't for Laura having to wait for you to come over and then remove it, I would have been ready to remove it in the afternoon, the wound has recovered, and there are no signs of postoperative infection for the time being, it should be fine, there is no need to continue to live. ”
In the TV series, after someone lost his sight, he recovered after removing the gauze, in fact, after Zhao Liuli replaced his cornea, he could already see something two weeks ago, but it was very blurry.
Last week, it was removed again, and according to the girl, it was slightly better than before, so the doctor asked her to stay for another week.
Miss Laura also secretly complained about this, saying that these hospitals are very dark, and even sending an ambulance to pick up patients will charge a large amount of money, probably because she wants to leave the girl in the medical bill.
After hearing this, Ye Dongqing just smiled and didn't speak, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is better to complete the postoperative recuperation directly under the care of the doctor, and said to Dr. Mike at this moment: "Is it really okay? Thank you, then please help dismantle it, Grace, are you still awake?"
In private, he is called "Liuli", and it is better to call the English name when outsiders are present, otherwise these white people will be confused, they can't understand the meaning of Chinese, but they just feel embarrassed.
Zhao Liuli lay on the bed, sat up with her hands, and said in her mouth: "Yes, I didn't sleep, otherwise I will dismantle it myself, I know how to dismantle it." ”
"I'll help you. A young nurse said to her......
In a New York minute.
Ye Dongqing has been back for more than two months, from the beginning of October to the end of December now.
Zhao Liuli has been recuperating in the ward for almost a month, and she noticed that the nurse removed the gauze from her head in a circle, and she was both excited and nervous, she already knew a lot of things at her age, such as probably not being able to see things after surgery.
Dr. Mike hurriedly turned off the lights to avoid direct blinding light, and the eyes of patients who had just undergone surgery were still very fragile and could not accept too strong light.
Ye Dongqing was also nervous, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at the little girl, who had never had a child, and now suddenly had a sense of care like an old father, and was very worried that after the failure of this operation, he would have to perform another operation again, the cost was a small problem, and the key was that it would be troublesome and troublesome.
As the gauze was removed, he hurriedly asked, "Open your eyes gently and try to see me?"
Hands dangling in mid-air, lights shining in the hallway through the doorway, and night views of the city outside, you can see things in the room.
Zhao Liuli heard this familiar voice, lowered her head and opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the white sheets and her own hands, which were not particularly clear, but she could see them.
Then he looked up, smiled happily when he looked at Ye Dongqing, squinted his eyes and nodded excitedly: "Yes!"
Dr. Mike has seen a lot of such scenes, and he has already seen it, Laura's happy look is written on her face, and every time Ye Dongqing is away, the two of them can say a lot of whispers.
Rubbing her head, Ye Dongqing turned his head to Laura and said, "Turn on the light!"
"Don't do that, wait a minute, wait until your eyes adjust to the light before turning on the lights, now I'm going to do a check-up, if I can be discharged tomorrow, tonight, because tomorrow I'm going to Canada with my fiancée to see a polar bear, and before that I'll have the nurse ready to be discharged." ”
Dr. Mike showed Zhao Liuli a color album, because when she was a child, her eyesight was good, she could accurately identify parrots, dogs and other animals, and she could also distinguish colors, which was very different from those who were born blind.
For people who are born completely blind, their world is that there is no concept of color, the brain has never stored color information, everything can only rely on imagination, monotonous and boring, it is difficult for normal people to understand their feelings, if they can make a choice, even if they are deaf or unable to speak, it is better than blindness.
Zhao Liuli has been in this kind of world for a long time, and if it weren't for Ye Dongqing's help, it might take a long time, or even a lifetime, to fall into endless darkness, holding this album in his hand, and crying when he looked at it, because of joy.
Laura walked over to reintroduce herself, and then hugged her, Ye Dongqing, a guy who lacked emotion, was just laughing, and then asked Dr. Mike how to handle the discharge procedures......
Just before Christmas, the girl could see again.
An operation plus hospitalization, medicine, nursing and other expenses cost a total of more than 240,000 US dollars, and Ye Dongqing could only pay for this cost without buying medical insurance for her.
How can I go home directly after leaving the hospital, I bought a pair of sunglasses for the girl to bring, and Ye Dongqing and Laura accompanied her shopping, introducing various things along the way, Zhao Liuli just opened her eyes to see, and was full of curiosity about everything, such as the stupid and cute Alaskan Malamute cub on the side of the road, which became a "fat dog" in her mouth.
Buying clothes, visiting the library, considering that she has fallen behind her peers in terms of academics, Ye Dongqing thinks it is necessary to find a tutor for her at the beginning of next year, or send her directly to the best private elementary school in Manhattan, so that she can live the life that a normal girl should have.
At this time, Laura and Ye Dongqing were standing next to the cash register, and Zhao Liuli was sitting there, holding a picture book in her hand, and she couldn't put it down.
Laura looked back at the girl, and suddenly said to Ye Dongqing: "You will definitely be a good father in the future, I know you must be."
Let me ask you a question, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to answer me, I want to ask if you are really his brother, half-brother and half-brother?"
"Of course...... No, I've only seen her once, what's wrong with helping the poor little girl?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I was surprised by the feeling that you would help anyone for no reason. Laura told the truth.
Ye Dongqing understood that his character was flawed, and he didn't want to stay on this topic longer, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I buy you clothes, buy a bag, and give you a house to live in?
From the torture of the soul, Laura was speechless for a moment, she just said that Ye Dongqing would be a good father, wouldn't this throw herself into the pit......
