"That's great, Xiaoyue, you have a new target in Otaru." Fujii Shu's hand slid down her skin and under her skirt.

"Well, uncle, do you know the most important reason why I came back to Otaru this time?"

".certainly."

"I know. It's good to know. So, even though I am a little angry about what happened today, I won't be too angry."

Jiuhuayue's face is getting more and more red

This bad guy!

It itches so much.

"Uncle, I don't want to elaborate on many things. Do you understand what I mean?"

clear.

How could you not understand?

Fujii Itsuki is still wondering whether it will be the same between him and Xiao Jiuhua in the future.

At this moment, the two of them, whether in their hands or words, seemed to have understood each other tacitly.

Chapter 170 Favor

Otaru City, City Hospital.

Fujii Juman doesn't like places like hospitals.

The place is filled with the pungent smell of aging, death, grief, and disinfectant.

Here, even if the July sun is as scorching as it can, it can hardly bring any life into the room.

"Swish!"

Fujii Itsuki pulled open the gauze curtains, letting the sunlight in and into the house.

He put the carnations in a vase and placed it where the light could shine through.

He returned to the bed and sat down, picking up the fruit knife beside him and the apple in the fruit bowl, and peeled the apple carefully.

On the hospital bed, Dean Hanashiro, who had already taken off his reading glasses, looked at the slightly blurry figure in his sight and smiled kindly.

"Tree."

"Yes, here you are."

"How's work going lately?"

"Work. Of course it's good." Fujii Itsuki said in a low voice.

"Are you busy on weekdays?"

"As the homeroom teacher and also the advisor to the wind section, I'm definitely going to be busy. And it's the end of the semester."

"It's good to be busy."

"Um"

Lying on the hospital bed, the gray-haired Hanayo Fujii looked up at the ceiling of the hospital.

Silence brewed in the air between the two.

"I'm so sorry. Shu finally gets to rest on the weekend, but you still have to come visit an old man like me. I'm really a burden to you."

"Dean, you——! Hey! Dean, what are you saying?" Fujii Itsuki was very anxious.

Upon hearing this, Fujii Hanayo smiled at Fujii Itsuki again.

At this time, the wind blew in.

The gauze curtains behind him were swaying and the sunlight was shining.

Seeing this child grow up to where he is now.

Hanayo Fujii was extremely relieved.

"Shu, I have to admit that I am old now."

"Then you should rest more!" Fujii Itsuki became more and more anxious. "Don't worry so much. You even have to do the laundry yourself. If it weren't for Aunt Keiko, you fainted in the welfare home this time--"

"You know, I can't sit still."

"."

What else can Fujii Itsuki say?

I can only sigh.

"Let's not talk about my old bones anymore. Let's talk about you, Shu. I want to hear about your school life. How are you doing in school?"

"Well, not long ago, he led our wind band to perform at the Nakajima Festival. Everyone said that Tachibana Kita was going to make a comeback. In June, we went on a school trip to Tokyo. The school was very generous and everyone had a lot of fun.

"It's July now. Muzi and I are preparing for final exams and the county competition. This is already the last weekend of this semester."

Fujii Itsuki spoke slowly, and Fujii Hanayo looked at him, feeling more and more relieved the more she looked at him.

"Tree."

"here I am."

"I still remember when you were little you said you wanted to be a teacher. I asked you why, and you said there were many pitiful children in the welfare home, but because of the environment they were in, their personalities became withdrawn, perverse, and some of them had bad personalities.

"Then, you said you wanted to be a teacher and try your best to guide more people on the right path in life.

"You said this was your dream. I thought it was just a joke that children often make, but I didn't expect you to actually realize it."

Fujii Itsuki laughed.

In fact, judging from what I have done recently, I am unqualified as a teacher.

He even doubted whether he could fulfill his dream of "guiding".

咚咚

"Family members, the patient's family members."

The nurse's voice came from the door of the ward. Fujii Itsuki nodded to the dean and stood up and walked away.

Outside the door, the nurse was holding a clipboard.

"A family member of the patient?"

"Yes, I am."

"Come with me and see the attending physician. He will explain the patient's condition to you in detail."

The nurse did her job efficiently and quickly and left after she finished speaking.

Fujii Itsuki quickly chased after him and asked:

"Is it serious? Don't worry, I can handle the consequences. Please tell me, nurse."

"Don't worry, just listen to the doctor's explanation. Go ahead."

When they arrived at the attending physician's office, the nurse opened the door for Fujii Itsuki and he walked in.

The doctor was an old doctor who looked to be in his sixties.

Such a doctor would at least make people feel more at ease.

Of course, the most important fundamental reason is that Otaru’s resources are divided among big cities, and few young doctors come here to work.

Fujii Itsuki sat down in front of the doctor's desk. The doctor asked about Fujii Itsuki's identity again. After confirming it, he handed him a case report.

Fujii Itsuki picked up the report, took a look at it, and almost stood up.

"Cancer?!"

"It's a carcinoid."

The attending doctor told him to be at ease. "Appendix carcinoid is very rare."

"Appendix?" Fujii Itsuki responded, "So does that mean we just need to remove it?"

The attending physician did not answer him directly.

"Let me first explain appendix carcinoid to you. This disease generally originates from low-grade malignant tumor cells secreted by the intestines and other organs, and grows very slowly. Although the tissue structure is similar to cancer, the chance of metastasis is lower than that of general cancer."

"In other words, this is a tumor?" asked Fujii Itsuki.

"Yes, a tumor, but the tissue structure is similar to cancer. It can also metastasize.

"The patient's recent high blood pressure is a secondary complication caused by this disease. The last time the patient came to our hospital for a physical examination, we didn't find any symptoms because the disease was still in its early stages."

"That means it can be removed in time, right?"

The attending doctor nodded and said, "We can remove these carcinoid tissue cells before they metastasize. There is a great chance of successful cure. It is called carcinoid, but it is actually milder."

Fujii Itsuki felt relieved when he heard this.

The doctor said so, and it was discovered early.

Then there must be at least a 90% chance of treatment.

"But don't take it lightly. If metastasis occurs, it will be too late to perform resection surgery. In this case, it is impossible to remove all the cancer.

"Considering the patient's condition, I suggest you transfer him to Sapporo or Tokyo for better treatment. The hospital equipment there is more targeted in the examination of this disease. There are too few cases of this disease in Otaru City, and the examination is not that thorough."

"I see. Thank you, doctor."

"No, the surgery should be done as soon as possible, and the elderly should not be allowed to work too hard. The aging of human organs is irreversible. Moderate work is good for health, but overwork is harmful to health."

Walking out of the doctor's office with the medical record, Fujii Itsuki could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not really a relief.

But this result is much better than the beginning.

The earlier this disease is treated, the better.

I'll be discharged from the hospital and transferred to Sapporo tonight. Now I have to go to the front desk to pay the medical fees.

Fujii Itsuki took the elevator and came to the front desk on the first floor.
