Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 49 Dependence
"Ryoko, didn't I already have the checkup done before? Why do I need to do it again now?"

Outside the CT room, Hamabe Rie pulled her granddaughter's hand, and there was a hint of retreat in her voice.

The surgeon in charge of Sumida Medical had previously mentioned to her the strength of St. Luke's International Hospital in the field of gastrointestinal tumors, and also mentioned its not-so-attractive charging standards.

Its treatment costs are as unfriendly as its unique status in the industry.

For the same operation, the overall cost at St. Luke's International Hospital will be at least 30% higher than that at other metropolitan hospitals, and there is no upper limit.

Yes, when they were in the car, Ryoko had already told her that they had raised enough money and she didn't need to worry about the surgery fees.

But how could she really not worry?

She is aware of their family's financial situation.

"The examination equipment here is better. In order to avoid misdiagnosis, we have to do another preoperative examination."

Hamabe Ryoko explained it in a low voice.

When they were brought up just now, the medical staff who led the way explained to her in advance the interests involved.

"Ryoko."

Hamabe Rie pulled her granddaughter's wrist.

"Ok?"

Ryoko Hamabe turned her head and looked at her grandmother.

"Is there really no way to save the cost of this inspection?"

Hamabe Rie secretly glanced at the sparsely populated corridor and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"no way."

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head.

"Tell grandma how you got the money for the surgery?"

Hamabe Rie held Hamabe Ryoko's hand, and there was a hint of worry in her cloudy eyes.

She was very afraid that Ryoko would borrow money from loan sharks or do something immoral or illegal.

"Part of it was our original savings, and the other part was loaned to us by Watanabe."

Grandma will know about this sooner or later, so Hamabe Ryoko has no intention of hiding it.

Rather, it was just that now that her grandmother had brought it up, it had given her an excellent opportunity.

"What about the transfer to another hospital?"

Although she is poor, she is not ignorant.

To be immediately transferred from the municipal hospital to a prestigious private hospital, one must either have given enough money or have strong connections.

"It was Watanabe who helped as well."

Hamabe Ryoko lowered her eyes and was extremely frank.

"...He, ah, we owe him a huge favor."

Hamabe Rie sighed, and a hint of guilt appeared on her wrinkled, sallow face.

"You's financial situation isn't very good either, and we're putting him on the fire right now."

She was aware of Watanabe Yu's financial situation.

I know that this young man from Okinawa does not have a rich life.

As for how he got the help to transfer to another hospital, who doesn't have a relative or friend who is doing a little better?

"Watanabe said that you took care of him and helped him when he was most confused, so now he will also help you."

Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyes and repeated what Watanabe Yuu had said before.

This was also what he had specifically told her in the morning.

"……Ugh."

Hearing this, Hamabe Rie lowered her head in self-blame.

Asking the granddaughter to return the money at this time would hurt You's good intentions.

"..."

Ryoko Hamabe fell silent, tightly holding her grandmother's rough hand, feeling mixed emotions.

She suddenly felt so useless again.

"Ryoko."

"Ok?"

"Afterwards, let's save some more, okay? Return the money to them as soon as possible. You're not having an easy life."

Hamabe Rie thought about it and spoke.

Since there is no way to refund, then find a way to pay it back as soon as possible, so that your leisurely life won’t be tight for too long.

"Ah."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded. That was what she had thought.

"Hamabe Rie!"

The door of the CT room was opened, and the medical staff who had led the way earlier stuck his head out, looked at the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and called out.

"coming."

Hamabe Ryoko responded, letting go of Hamabe Rie's hand, holding her wrist instead, and leading her to the door of the CT room, "Grandma, don't think too much, she has already been transferred to another hospital, so we must solve the problem thoroughly.

"Wouldn't Watanabe's kindness be wasted?"

I don’t know who she learned this from, but although her tone is soft, it also has a bit of toughness.

"……Um."

Hamabe Rie hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and walked into the CT room.

She couldn't refuse her granddaughter, whose eyes were full of eagerness and worry.

Click.

The door of the CT room was closed. Ryoko Hamabe let out a breath, walked two steps outside, and sat on the bench.

The pungent smell of disinfectant made her frown slightly, but she quickly relaxed again.

During the time she accompanied him before, she had already gotten used to the smell.

Watanabe...should have finished his call?
She hesitated for a moment, took out her cell phone, and clicked on the chat with Watanabe Yu.

Looking at the panda avatar, she felt a little relieved.

【Have you finished your call? 】

She lightly tapped the send button with her bare fingers, then looked at the screen nervously, waiting for his reply.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, the message still shows as unread.

Maybe he's still on the phone.

As Hamabe Ryoko thought about this, she inevitably began to feel worried and anxious.

She turned her head and looked to the end of the corridor.

The bright light shone on the light brown floor, casting a faint warm glow.

But the warm light did not ease her anxiety.

What was he doing? Could he...

She pursed her thin lips, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her beautiful eyes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

How come he suddenly becomes like a child? Even if I haven't seen him for ten minutes, countless strange thoughts will arise in his mind.

It's like a puppy that was picked up on a rainy day but abandoned again the next day.

Looking at the half-open door with a crack left, my mood was up and down and I felt uneasy.

Subconsciously, she glanced at the chat interface again.

The message is still unread.

Maybe he hasn't finished his call yet.

Yes, that must be the case!

He just didn't finish the call!

Ryoko, stop thinking about it!

Ryoko Hamabe patted her cheek gently, using the pain to suppress her thoughts that were becoming increasingly pessimistic.

Buzz. Buzz.

Her phone vibrated.

Almost instantly, her eyes fell on the screen.

A line of replies caught her eye.

【I have arrived】

Suddenly, she raised her head and looked towards the corridor.

A familiar figure passed by two passers-by and just happened to come into her sight.

next moment.

The worries in her heart became a thing of the past.

"The phone call took a little longer, and I was delayed a little on the way."

Watanabe Yu walked over and sat down next to Hamabe Ryoko, explaining in a low voice.

"It's ok."

As if she had found her backbone, Hamabe Ryoko's heart suddenly calmed down.

She smiled and shook her head.

"how is the situation?"

Watanabe Yu turned his head and glanced at the closed CT room.

Hamabe Ryoko is outside alone, so grandma should have started checking.

"Grandma just went in, it might take a while."

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Watanabe Yu comforted her.

On the way here, he met the surgeon who was in charge of Rie Hamabe's surgery.
——The medical staff in charge of the transfer acted as a middleman and took him to have a brief conversation with the surgeon.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also made some indirect suggestions.

In response to the question he raised, the doctor, who was in his early forties, just smiled and shook his head, and told him confidently that Hamabe Rie's problem was not serious, it was just a minor operation and could be easily solved.

Then the doctor patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to look at the wall at the other end of the corridor.

After seeing the photo of the surgeon printed on the wall, as well as the honors and introductions, he was completely relieved.

Anyway, the whole article can be summed up in one sentence: the other party is an expert in this field!

"……Um."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded, and suddenly she felt relieved.

*
Because we were taking the VIP channel, the series of inspections were completed quite quickly.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, all preoperative examinations were completed.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the surgeon held a short meeting on Hamabe Rie's condition and quickly confirmed the surgical plan.

After a brief communication, Ryoko Hamabe and Rie Hamabe signed the surgery confirmation form.

During this time, Hamabe Ryoko couldn't help but ask, "Is the probability of success of the operation high?"

After he finished speaking, the surgeon burst into laughter.

Glancing at Watanabe Yu, he gave a light answer.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

Then he asked another question casually.

"Didn't Watanabe-kun tell you?"

"say what?"

"He has already asked me that question privately."

The surgeon in charge looked at the two of them meaningfully with a smile on his face.

Under that look, Hamabe Ryoko blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this point, the preoperative preparation is completely completed.

4:20 pm.

Rie Hamabe was pushed into the operating room.
