Bai Zhen Zhen's party of four took a taxi to the hospital in the city center.

According to the original plot, Father Bai also came to this hospital for medical treatment later on. Here was Dr. Zhang, a proficient surgeon who was an expert in lung cancer. Bai Zhen Zhen remembered this plot point, so she directly brought her father to him.

In the doctor's office.

Dr. Zhang took a look at Father Bai's medical record and the radiography and said, "Lung cancer is a type of malignant disease of the respiratory system. It's important to detect and treat it early, you absolutely must not miss this good opportunity for surgery. So, let's first have the patient take a CT scan, and once I see the current situation we can talk about the surgery."

Yang Suping immediately asked: "Doctor ah, approximately how much does this surgery cost ah?"

Father Bai was obviously very concerned about this issue as well. The fingers in his wrinkled hands intertwined and rubbed unceasingly.

"The cost of the operation is about 100,000 yuan. If we add the following chemotherapy and so on... you need to prepare at least 300,000."

"300.000?!" Yan Suping cried out in shock.

Dr. Zhang nodded: "This is only the cost of the early stage, if the recovery is not good in the later stage..."

"No need to treat, no need to treat. Where do we get so much money for treatment ah!" Yan Suping urgently pulled Father Bai's sleeve.

Father Bai was originally sitting on a stool. When he heard Dr. Zhang's words, he immediately stood up.

"That... Doctor ah, I won't do this early surgery, later on..."

Bai Zhen Zhen interrupted her father's words.

"Dr. Zhang, I have to trouble you to write the bill for the CT, I will go pay it right now."

"Zhen Zhen..." Anxiety filled Father Bai's eyes, for fear of burdening Bai Zhen Zhen.

Bai Zhen Zhen patted his hand to appease him: "Don't worry, dad, I have money."

Father Bai's face showed incredulity. Yang Suping and her daughter looked at each other, also feeling very baffled.

Dr. Zhang wrote the CT payment slip and handed it to Bai Zhen Zhen.

Bai Zhen Zhen talked again, "Dad, you rest here first, I will come back right after I complete the payment."

After saying that, Bai Zhen Zhen left the office.

Her steps were very hurried, just thinking of handling this matter as soon as possible, so she can go through the early stage of the plotline in the way she wanted.

As Bai Zhen Zhen was turning a corner, a figure rushed from the other direction. None of them had enough time to step aside, directly knocking against the other.

As Bai Zhen Zhen stumbled and was about to fall to the ground, the hands of the man held her waist in a quick and swift move, pulling her back and tightly holding her in his embrace.

After the big fright, Bai Zhen Zhen immediately broke free from the man's embrace. Before raising her head, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

---Wasn't this the typical chance encounter scene in Mary Sue stories?!

---So this person...
