Chapter 448: Chapter 447: Why Not?

Yan Feifan, Mrs. Yu, Mr. Wang, and Yu Suye immediately conducted a comprehensive examination of the twin sisters.

The older sister, Tuantuan, who was already brain-dead, was in relatively good condition.

Her vital signs were being maintained fairly well. She also had burns on her body, but they were mostly superficial, spot-like burns that would heal easily.

The younger sister, Yuanyuan’s, condition was somewhat worse.

In addition to her amputated left lower leg and left hand, the burns on her face were far more severe than Yan Feifan had anticipated.

Her left ear had become completely necrotic and had fallen off.

Nearly twenty percent of the area on her left cheek was covered in deep burns.

During the examination, Yan Feifan also discovered signs of purulent infection on Yuanyuan’s face, as well as on some of the burns on her body.

This prompted him to decide on the spot to perform another debridement procedure.

Yan Feifan was quite aggressive with this debridement.

Besides the necrotic tissue, he also directly removed any borderline skin and muscle tissue that would have struggled to recover.

As a result, a six-square-centimeter patch of facial bone was even exposed on Yuanyuan’s left cheek...

After nine o’clock at night, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye finished the debridement and left the plastic surgery center’s operating room. They had just finished briefing the girl’s parents on the procedure when a young nurse summoned them to the director’s office.

Upon entering the office, Yan Feifan saw that in addition to Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu was also present, along with a chic, urban woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

This woman had long, straight black hair and was dressed in a light-colored professional skirt suit. She had a fine face and figure, and projected an elegant and intellectual air.

She was Chan Weiwei, the executive director of the Dawn Charity Foundation from Hang City.

As the representative of the charity foundation sponsoring the twin sisters, she had arrived at the Affiliated Hospital that evening along with the girls and their family.

Yan Feifan had met her briefly and exchanged a few words at the time.

"Feifan, how is the little girl’s condition?"

Responding to Mr. Liu’s inquiry, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye sat down on the sofa in the reception area. Yan Feifan replied softly, "Sir, it’s a bit worse than I anticipated."

"She’s extremely weak, and the inflammation isn’t under control yet."

"The burns on her left cheek are severe. If we want to completely restore her appearance, a face transplant is the only option."

Yan Feifan added hopefully, "I hope tomorrow’s compatibility test results are good."

This prompted Chan Weiwei to ask, "Mr. Yan, they’re identical twins. Wouldn’t a transplant between them be the same as an autograft?"

Yan Feifan patiently explained, "Theoretically, that’s correct."

"But they are still two separate individuals. There’s a small chance of an imperfect match, or even a complete mismatch due to individual genetic mutations."

"Of course, the probability is very low, but this transplant compatibility test is something we absolutely have to do."

Chan Weiwei let out a soft "oh" of understanding and continued, "At the local hospital, they were never able to get Yuanyuan’s low-grade fever and inflammation under control."

"She was transferred here at my suggestion."

After a brief pause, she asked, "Mr. Yan, based on your analysis, approximately when can she have the surgery?"

Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, "I removed the source of the infection during the debridement. The inflammation should clear up within the next day or two."

"We’ll give Yuanyuan another three days to recover... The surgery... let’s tentatively schedule it for next Tuesday."

"Next Tuesday!"

Chan Weiwei repeated the day, then nodded lightly. "I’ll use next Tuesday as the key date for arranging our promotional work."

Just then, Mr. Liu spoke up. "Feifan, regarding the older sister Tuantuan’s organ donation, Mr. Chan has a few new ideas."

Yan Feifan looked at Chan Weiwei and asked, "Have the parents agreed?"

Chan Weiwei shook her head. "Not yet. They’re a bit traditional in their thinking. Doctors at the local hospital already tried to persuade them."

"I’ve been trying to persuade them as well, but they just won’t agree."

After a few seconds’ pause, Chan Weiwei added with confidence, "The only reason they haven’t agreed is simply because the benefits aren’t enticing enough..."

Seeing the doubtful look on Yan Feifan’s face, Chan Weiwei quickly explained, "I understand, of course, that our country’s current policy is for voluntary, uncompensated organ donation."

"However, the policy doesn’t prohibit compassionate financial aid from charitable organizations."

Chan Weiwei elaborated, "Mr. Yan, I was just discussing this with Mr. Liu. If the parents agree to the organ donation, we will co-host a livestream."

"We’ll use it to explain the organ donation process live to the viewers, as well as the current state of organ transplantation in our country."

"At the same time, our foundation will commit to covering all of Yuanyuan’s post-operative recovery expenses, as well as all of her living and educational costs from now until adulthood, right up through her college graduation."

Chan Weiwei added, "We will also open an account to accept donations from kind-hearted people to help the parents rebuild their home that was destroyed in the fire and support them on a path toward starting a business and building wealth."

Yan Feifan understood what Chan Weiwei was getting at. This was a way of using disguised financial incentives to entice the parents into agreeing to the donation.

Seeing that neither Mr. Liu nor Mr. Wang gave any reaction, Yan Feifan sighed softly and kept his opinion to himself.

Chan Weiwei then smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Yan, over the next few days, we’ll be holding several online livestreams and media interviews..."

"...to update the audience who cares about these twin sisters on their condition, the surgical plan, and other details."

"I hope that you, Mr. Yan, can find the time to give us your full support."

Yan Feifan’s expression immediately darkened. "My schedule is packed," he said. "I don’t have time for that."

Liu Jin quickly cut in, "Mr. Chan, just look at Mr. Yan’s handsome face. You can tell at a glance that he’s far too young."

"If he appears in the livestream or in front of the media, people who don’t know his credentials will just assume our Affiliated Hospital isn’t taking the twin sisters’ case seriously."

"So let’s leave Mr. Yan out of the promotional activities."

"How about this..."

Liu Jin pointed at Wang Chuan and said, "Dr. Wang, director of the plastic surgery center, is a nationally recognized top master of cosmetic surgery."

Although reluctant, Wang Chuan, who was now in the spotlight, had no choice but to force a smile and nod at Chan Weiwei.

Liu Jin continued, "Also, I’ll have Mrs. Chen, the director of trauma surgery and a nationally renowned expert in limb reattachment, cooperate with your publicity efforts as well."

"As for the organ transplant part..."

Liu Jin then decided, "I’ll also arrange for a cardiac transplant expert and a kidney transplant expert to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Chan, what do you think?"

The smile on Chan Weiwei’s face grew even wider. "Mr. Liu, I am extremely satisfied. Then it’s settled..."

About ten minutes later, Chan Weiwei took her leave and left.

As soon as the office door closed, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, "I have to say, Sir, Mr. Liu, don’t you think you were laying it on a bit thick? It’s just one charity foundation."

"You weren’t bought off by her, were you?"

Wang Chuan said sarcastically, "He was indeed bought off. Bought off by a six-million-yuan check."

Liu Jin sighed. "You people... It’s easy for you to talk. You don’t run the hospital, so you don’t know how expensive everything is."

"This six million can get a lot of things done."

He then explained to Yan Feifan, "This charity foundation was established by Mr. Deng Shao, a business tycoon from Hang City who was ranked sixth on the Forbes Rich List last year."

"He’s also the one who signed the six-million-yuan check."

"The foundation wants to use this case to build its reputation, and they need our full cooperation."

"We get the money, and we get some publicity for ourselves. It’s a win-win, so why wouldn’t we do it...?"
