You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 852 Always Be Strong
The last two games before the arrival of 2002, one against the Bucks, one against the Grizzlies.

In the game against the Bucks, the Pistons played a perfect Princeton. In the whole game, Mo Mengchen only had 5 assists, but scored 30 points.

The Pistons scored 130 points, and 7 of the team scored in double figures. Moreover, every player on the field had assists.

"Tonight's game just showed us what happens once the Pistons get used to Princeton."

"The Bucks should feel particularly deeply."

After beheading the Bucks easily, the Pistons diverted to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' style of play is surprising. They obviously don't have the strength of the playoffs, but they have a strong desire to win. They only rotated seven players throughout the game, and reused the main force and the team's sixth and seventh players.

But their strength lies there, and they can't challenge the Pistons at all. The game has once again become a tactical demonstration game for the Pistons.

The Pistons never show mercy to weak teams, defeated them happily, and greeted the New Year with a clean victory.

2002/1/1

St. Lucifer's New Year's event started quietly. It's a good thing to do body checks for fifty middle-aged citizens for free, but such a good thing was not announced to the public until four days before the New Year. Some people who received the notification were in other places and could not participate in the event.

Moreover, this kind of public welfare activities for the public are generally for the promotion of the hospital. No matter how bad it is, some media and TV stations have to be invited to do some interviews, but the hospital does it very low-key. There are no reporters, and there are no TV stations. Attend this event without even getting a word of it.

Although Hill's father, Calvin, was not selected, Hill also took this opportunity to give him a physical examination.

In addition, the selected people include the families of Randolph, Gerrard, and Bobby Simmons.

These people all have the same characteristic, they are all single-parent families.

The examination for their family was incidental. Mo Mengchen's only purpose today was to do a thorough physical examination for Curry's mother, but this most important person did not come to the hospital for a long time.

"You'd better give me an explanation." Mo Mengchen stared at Curry and asked in a deep voice.

Curry replied nervously: "My mother said it's on the way, maybe it will come later!"

Traffic jams are impossible. If there is really a traffic jam, Gail must not be the only one who was late because of the traffic jam today.

Or did she already know about her situation and deliberately concealed it?

Mo Mengchen does not rule out this possibility, but the possibility is extremely low. If she really knows, the sooner the treatment is successful, the higher the success rate, and hiding it is the way to death.

Curry didn't know anything about it. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether his mother was tested or not, because in his eyes, his mother's body was very healthy.

It really fits that sentence.

It is better to be an ignorant pig living contentedly and sadly than to be an unhappy Socrates.

It's useless to say anything now, all Mo Mengchen and Curry can do is wait.

They waited until [-] p.m., the event was over, and Curry's mom didn't show up.

Curry and Mo Mengchen didn't get a call from Gail until 06:30 in the evening. She said that there was a car accident on the way here, but no one was injured. She was dealing with the matter on the way and could not reach the hospital.

"This..." Curry felt that this incident was full of weirdness, "Doctor Mo, my mother"

"It's okay." Mo Mengchen said, "You can go."

He prepared so much in advance, wasted a whole day, and finally returned without success.

Curry had no choice but to leave, while Mo Mengchen returned to his office.

He felt that he had tried his best and had done everything he could do. If there was anything else he could do, he could only call Curry back and tell him solemnly that his mother might have cancer, and everything he did today was useless. It's for him.

This matter has nothing to do with him, but there is a voice in his subconscious that keeps urging him—time is not waiting.

Just when he decided to tell Curry about it, Curry's mother, Gail Curry, took the initiative to come to St. Lucifer on the second day after the incident, asking for Mo Mengchen by name.

Hearing that she was Curry's mother, the hospital quickly contacted Mo Mengchen.After hearing the news, Mo Mengchen didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

"Doctor Mo, I'm really sorry to ask you to come here so early." Gail's energetic style of doing things is completely different from that of Curry.

She gave Curry her enviable talents without giving away the best things about her.

"It doesn't matter." Mo Mengchen said, "It's the same today."

Mo Mengchen found Suzy Jacobson, his most trusted doctor in St. Lucifer, and brought Gail to her: "Please take this lady to do intravenous catheterization, metabolic and biochemical tests, lipase tests, Tumor detection, as well as abdominal CT and pelvic pancreas examination."

Since Gail came to the hospital in private, she must have noticed the discomfort in her body.

He didn't need to pretend to do a full body inspection like yesterday, and then insert these most important inspections inside.

"Okay." Su Xi smiled and said to Gail, "Please follow me."

Why didn't Gale Curry come in for a full body checkup yesterday?
After Gail left with Su Xi, Mo Mengchen thought while walking.

Just because of a car accident?I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The car accident may also happen to avoid the inspection. Generally speaking, in any car accident, there will be additional injuries. The car accidents without damage are basically minor accidents such as scratches.

If Gail wanted to leave herself somewhere, all she had to do was rub someone's car on purpose, then get out and yell at the other person like a shrew, and she'd be able to leave herself where it happened.

Why is she doing this?Does she know what disease she has?
If she knew, why hide it?
Maybe she doesn't know at all, maybe she is also worried, but she is worried that this incident will affect others after being exposed, who is she worried about?

The answer is ready to come out, of course it is her precious child who has a giant body but a child's heart.

"I hope I'm overthinking." Mo Mengchen thought to himself.

He often comforts himself when he makes the worst guess, because it represents the worst result.

It is necessary to envision the best and prepare for the worst.

Mo Mengchen sat in his office and waited quietly.

In his previous life, he was very patient in waiting for the patient's examination results, but now he hopes to know the truth immediately.

Time passed by, and his office was finally rang.

"Please come in."

Seeing Su Xi, Mo Mengchen immediately stood up.

"Doctor Mo." Su Xi put the drawings on the table, "Ms. Curry suffers from pancreatic cancer."

"The fourth stage."

"Currently the cancer cells have not metastasized, but" Su Xi hesitated to speak, no matter how skilled the doctor is, it is impossible to recover from the fourth stage of cancer.

Mo Mengchen carefully checked the inspection documents.

"There are local lymph nodes."

"Part of the superior mesenteric artery is wrapped," Su Xi looked at the surgeon she respected most, "we can't operate to remove the tumor."

Mo Mengchen looked at the CT image without saying a word.

Su Xi knew that he was looking for a feasible solution, but there was nothing she could do for this patient. Even Dor.Mo was just a surgeon, not a god who could eliminate terminal illness with a wave of his hand.

"Is she still there?"

"Outside the office."

"Please come in." Mo Mengchen said, "Wait, there should be many similar medical records, please help me collect the same medical records, I want to see."

Su Xi nodded yes, then walked out of the office, after a while, Gail came in.

"Doctor Mo, what's the result?"

Gail's smile is no longer as natural as it used to be.

"Ma'am, when did you feel unwell?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Up to now, it was meaningless to ask these questions, Mo Mengchen just didn't know how to speak, obviously he had issued similar death notices countless times in his previous life.

"A few months ago." Gail asked, "Dr. Mo, what's wrong with me?"

"Pancreatic cancer."

If you don't know how to say it, it's probably best to be direct.

Gail's expression stopped at the moment before Mo Mengchen opened his mouth.

"It has entered the fourth stage, which is what we often call the advanced stage of cancer." Mo Mengchen said, "But the cancer cells have not spread yet, I."

"I can operate on you. This is a difficult and dangerous operation."

We are not always moved when bad news comes suddenly.

Gail was in a trance for a while, and asked like a robot: "After the operation is successful, can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"No." Mo Mengchen said, "complications after surgery are very common, and the lesions of pancreatic cancer are small and difficult to find. You still need to undergo chemotherapy, and you have to be monitored by the hospital for a long time."

She didn't even ask about the success rate of the operation.

"If there is no surgery," Gail regained his senses, "how much time do I have?"

"At most half a year." Mo Mengchen said, "But if the operation is successful, you can still have many years."

"Will the operation be successful?" Accepting one's fate takes a moment.

Mo Mengchen acted resolutely and confidently on the field. As a doctor, his style was the same. His hesitation indirectly answered Gail's question.

Gail asked: "Dr. Mo, I heard that you are the best doctor in the world. I believe no one is more sure than you. Do you think the operation will be successful?"

Mo Mengchen didn't answer immediately.

"Doctor Mo, if I don't have an operation, can the hospital prescribe painkillers for me?" She didn't know how strong she looked when she said this, "I always can't sleep at night because of abdominal pain."

Mo Mengchen was not good at communicating with the patient's family members, let alone Curry's mother.

"Yes." Mo Mengchen said.

"Thank you." Gail finally said, "Please keep it a secret for me. Don't let Eddie know about it. He is thinking about the game and training every day now. He is a good boy"

"Without your permission, we will not tell others about your condition." Mo Mengchen said.

"That's good, thank you." Gail got up, took her inspection report, and walked out of the office slowly.

She was very strong, but her steps were not as light as when they first met. Every step gave people endless pressure, but she never showed a trace of fear from the beginning to the end.
