After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Deng Jing immediately shook off his hand, covered her mouth, and started crying.

"There's no use thinking about it. With your body like this, it will take at least a few years to recover."

Lin Zhilan didn't write it in the notebook this time, and she didn't say it for Su Jue to hear.

Someone whispered something in Su Jue's ear.

He nodded and said to Lin Zhilan, "Dr. Lin, could we talk privately?"

Lin Zhilan patted Deng Jing on the shoulder and walked out first.

"Dr. Lin, I understand how you feel as family members, but Su Jue's work... I can't tell you the truth. I can only tell you that his work is very important, extremely important."

It was both a matter of keeping it a secret and fraught with danger. Su Jue wasn't a soldier fighting in wars, so Lin Zhilan probably guessed what Su Jue's work was related to.

She could understand how much these people, including Su Jue, valued their work, but as a doctor, she couldn't accept patients abusing their bodies like that.

"Boss, I think neither of us can really convince the other, but let's try to find common ground while respecting our differences. I believe we both want my second brother to get better as soon as possible."

I'd like to ask, is he replaceable for this job? Is the job impossible to continue without him? If he's absent, how significant will the impact be?

As a doctor, I can tell you definitively that his current physical condition makes it impossible for him to continue working. This isn't a matter of whether his family agrees or not, nor is it a decision he can make himself.

Su Jue's superior hesitated for a moment, then said, "I hope you don't mind, but we've already investigated your situation. You're quite famous in the south. If we hand Su Jue over to you, when will he be able to resume his work?"

Lin Zhilan said helplessly, "My second brother's condition is really critical this time. If it happens again, he'll definitely die..."

Su Jue interrupted her, "Don't worry, we won't send Comrade Su Jue to the front line again, but he will definitely be responsible for all written and official work."

Su Jue was involved in the research and development of my country's nuclear submarines, which was a top secret.

This project is now in its second half.

Su Jue's accident was caused by pulmonary edema resulting from continuous exposure to pure oxygen at atmospheric pressure during an experiment in a closed hyperbaric chamber.

As a power test engineer, he was on board the submarine for a deep-sea diving mission in order to collect first-hand data inside the sealed pressure chamber.

Although Su Jue was not the chief engineer, he was in charge of the power experiment.

His absence will significantly slow down the progress of the nuclear submarine's test dives.

Two years after the Zhenbao Island conflict, Taiwan and the Soviet Union became fully hostile.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet possessed a large number of conventional submarines, strategic missile nuclear submarines, and cruisers, with the nuclear submarines spending most of their time submerged in coastal waters.

However, we currently only have conventional submarines and lack underwater nuclear counterattack and long-range anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

This is also the most crucial motivation for the country to grit its teeth and develop nuclear submarines.

Su Jue and his colleagues are all national talents, and the country certainly cherishes them. However, the research and development work is indeed urgent and cannot wait that long.

Lin Zhilan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sir, I have my own duties and can't just stay by my side. I propose that he be transferred to our island military hospital. I will do my best to help him recover as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Su Jue pondered for a while, then said, "Alright, I'll arrange the transfer. I'll leave the rest to you."

Su Jue woke up, and Lin Zhilan thought Deng Jing would stay to keep him company.

When Deng Jing left in the afternoon, she ignored Su Jue's earnest gaze and went home with Lin Zhilan.

"Second sister-in-law..."

Deng Jing pursed her lips, quietly waiting for Lin Zhilan to speak and advise her not to hold a grudge against Su Jue.

Lin Zhilan took her arm, "You need to be good to yourself."

Deng Jing looked at her in surprise, "Aren't you going to try to persuade me?"

Lin Zhilan rested her head on her shoulder. "I'm not the one who hasn't seen my husband for years, I'm not the one raising the child alone, and I'm not the one worrying about my second brother. What right do I have to advise you?"

As soon as Lin Zhilan finished speaking, Deng Jing burst into tears.

Lin Zhilan let her cry until she was tired, then coaxed her to wash her face.

Only then did he tell her about Su Jue's transfer to the military hospital.

Deng Jing looked up. "Alright, Zhilan, I want to thank you."

Even though Deng Jing resented Su Jue, she didn't want to see Su Jue really die.

After a night, Su Jue's workplace finally agreed to let him transfer to the military hospital.

They also don't plan to have him undergo tympanic membrane repair surgery in the capital.

Military hospitals are more professional and have a better chance of performing this surgery, given that every year a large number of soldiers suffer tympanic membrane perforations due to gunfire or explosions.

Moreover, the island is designated as a military medical unit and is equipped with imported microsurgical equipment, which is more complete than many hospitals in the capital.

Before leaving, Cheng Qingshan called Lin Zhilan to his office and talked about Su Jue. He hoped that she could do her best to save Su Jue and that she could call him if she needed anything.

Lin Zhilan realized once again how important Su Jue was.

After finishing this matter, Cheng Qingshan chatted with her for a while about the pharmaceutical factory and the child before letting her go back.

With someone else making the arrangements, Lin Zhilan didn't have to worry about anything.

Su Jue has been assigned bodyguards to take care of him, so Lin Zhilan only needs to focus on his condition.

Deng Jing didn't come with her.

She felt resentment and anger towards Su Jue, as well as worry.

However, with two children at home, she couldn't keep taking leave and disrupting her work, so she had to harden her heart and not come along.

Su Jue didn't say much, knowing he had let his wife and daughter down.

Lin Zhilan called Su Lang in advance.

As soon as he got off the train, Su Lang spotted her and squeezed through the crowd.

"Zhilan".

"Su Lang," Lin Zhilan pulled his hand and looked back, "Second Brother is behind us."

Su Jue was carried out on someone's back.

Su Lang immediately noticed the white hair on his second brother's head.

The area at his temples was completely white.

Two years had passed, and Su Jue looked ten years older.

"Second Brother..." Su Lang walked over, not knowing what to say.

"Don't look, it's ugly." Su Jue was leaning on the bodyguard's back, looking extremely thin. When he saw Su Lang, he forced a self-deprecating smile.

Lin Zhilan interrupted the brothers' eye contact, saying, "We can talk about it later. Let's get your second brother to the hospital first."

Su Lang snapped out of her daze and reached out to take Su Jue's hand. "I'll carry him."

The bodyguard immediately stepped aside, saying, "I'll take care of Comrade Su's safety. You just need to lead the way."

Su Lang could tell at a glance that he was a trained fighter. He glanced at Su Jue and didn't insist any further.

After taking Su Jue to the hospital and saying hello to Dean Liu, Lin Zhilan and Su Lang went home together, and Lin Zhilan explained Su Jue's current physical condition to him.

"We can't keep Second Brother's situation a secret for long; we need to figure out how to tell Mom and Dad."

Su Lang felt heartbroken and saddened just looking at Su Jue's current state, let alone the two elderly people, Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng.
