Chapter 4: Preparing for Prison Escape
Dr. Otto was stunned by what Strange said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he said with some displeasure: "What's wrong with the plan I designed?"
Otto is a proud man, and he doesn't like to be questioned by others, but Strange is an authority on this, and he can't help but listen to what he says, so Dr. Otto is not in a very good mood.
"This surgery did not take into account Penny's age. She is too young to recover from trauma as an adult. Strange tossed out a few pieces of information to Dr. Otto.
"I've been involved in several nerve repair surgeries. The Osborne Group's regenerative agents are not a panacea. Recovery from nerve damage can be much more difficult than musculoskeletal recovery. ”
"It can be said that the difference is a thousand miles. Problems with any one important nerve can lead to problems in the entire body. Strange points out the problem he found: "The wound was so big that it had to be operated on with a very miniature wound." ”
Otto leaned back in his chair and pressed his temples to ponder what Strange had said, and he said slowly, "You mean to use (Strange miniature trauma surgery?)"
Dr. Otto stared at Strange and said, "As far as I know, the best surgeon for this surgery is standing in front of me, and he is questioning my medical plan. At the same time, it was he who turned little Penny away. ”
Otto's words embarrassed Strange to the point of restlessness. He was stared at uncomfortably by Dr. Otto's gaze, and finally got up and said, "I've said too much, I'm leaving." ”
Strange was about to open the door and leave Otto's office when Dr. Otto's voice came from behind: "You have already rejected Penny, why do you still come? Alms? Or do you want to save whom your conscience has found? and then enjoy the thrill of being a savior?!"
Otto's words were sharp, which made Strange a little uncomfortable. He didn't look back, just rested his forehead lightly against the wooden frame of the door to Dr. Otto's office.
"I don't want to save anyone, I just want to save myself. With that, Strange opened the door and turned to leave.
Dr. Otto sat back down and picked up the place where Strange had pointed out the problem, and perhaps he really should adjust his plan.

California State Penitentiary.
"William Baker!" shouted the guard as he walked down the hallway of the prison, holding a letter in his hand, and he looked at the email address on the envelope and said, "There is a letter from Osborne Group Medical Center in New York, and the sender is Penny Baker. ”
Every letter that comes to the prison is checked, but it is usually handed over to the prisoner. This is because cutting off contact between criminals and their families is not conducive to the rehabilitation of criminals.
As long as the letter is not illegal and there is no contraband, then the prison will be handed over to the prisoner.
William Baker, for his part, was only imprisoned for robbery and wounding, and was not considered a felon, and was generally released after two years in prison.
And after being imprisoned, he was relatively honest, and the prison guards didn't embarrass him much in prison.
When the prison guard who delivered the letter reached the door of William's cell, the strong middle-aged man was already waiting for the prison guard to arrive with an iron fence.
"Letter from your daughter. Take a good look. The guard patted William on the shoulder as he handed him the letter.
This made William feel a little bad, in fact, he didn't feel good when he heard the prison guard read that the address was Osborne Medical Center.
Because he knew very well that only his daughter, Little Penny, would send letters from New York every month. And he also knew what was wrong with his daughter.
It is a very dangerous condition that requires a large sum of money if surgery is required. He had heard of the name of Almond Central Hospital and Dr. Strange.
It costs a lot of money to see a doctor in such a high-class private hospital, and it is even more expensive to invite Dr. Strange to have a surgery. Don't even think about it for less than half a million dollars.
And half a million dollars is an astronomical amount for the vast majority of American households. William Baker was just an ordinary construction worker.
He had to take a risk in order to get enough money for Strange's surgery. But the result is obvious, he was arrested, and Penny went to a welfare home.
As William's only spiritual support, Penny is his greatest motivation to live in the world.
He couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the stationery. It was a thick letter, and it was obvious that it could not have been written by Penny.
Penny was only six years old, couldn't spell many words, and couldn't write such a long letter.
As William expected, the four-page letter, with only the more than 300 words at the end of the pink letterhead in the first chapter, was written by Penny.
She wrote briefly about her life at the Southern Cross Orphanage. Including playing with friends, and a new caregiver, Thor, finally fixes the TV. So she can watch SpongeBob SquarePants again.
So instead of keeping her promise and leaving the candy for Children's Day for her father, she gave it to Thor, hoping that his father would forgive her.
At the same time, he also said a lot of good things about Thor, and also said that he fainted while watching TV (seeing this, William's heart tugged). Thor then takes her to the hospital.
Later, she wrote very jumpy that she wanted her dad to take her to catch jellyfish after he came out (because of SpongeBob SquarePants' influence).
At the end of the letter, the letter was written in a bit of a beginning, and many words were misspelled, and there were grammatical errors.
But this did not affect William's repeated viewing. What he feared finally happened.
He was a little afraid to read the long letter written on regular letterhead, for he was afraid that he would see the last thing he wanted to see.
But he shuddered and opened the letter. This is a formal letter written in Thor's name, but actually drafted by Lee.
In order to show regularity and sincerity, Li Kit used handwriting instead of computer printing. He gave a general account of Penny's condition, and informed William that Penny's condition could not be delayed any longer.
After obtaining the signature of the director of the orphanage, Osborne Medical Center will perform surgery on Penny in the near future.
The cost of the surgery will be shared by the Osborne Group's charitable foundation and the Marvel Foundation.
A copy signed by the director of the welfare home was also attached at the end of the letter.
Legally, William did not have custody of Penny, and there was no need for Lee Kit and Thor to send him such a letter.
But as fathers, they felt the need to inform William.
William Baker clenched the letter tightly. He was anxious now. Li Jie's letter clearly states how dangerous Penny is.
Dr. Strange declined surgery, which would be done by Dr. Otto at Osborne Medical Center.
She is now in prison in California, and Penny is in New York. If the operation fails, it doesn't need to be said, and William can guess what the consequences will be.
And this surgery is very risky! This means that William will probably never see Penny's last side again!
William Baker took a deep breath and glanced at the prison he was in, no matter what the cost, he was going to New York to see Penny!
Even if you are locked up in prison forever for the rest of your life!

On the vast ocean, a 200,000-ton oil tanker is cleaving the waves. This is the oil tanker of the Manchurian Zhang Tong.
Now he is in the captain's room through a satellite signal to people thousands of kilometers away video call.
And the person on the phone was Dr. Ethan, the good old man and good scientist. And now the red light that flickered from time to time in his eyes looked so eerie.
