21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 387 The Fetus (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Keiko's mother's surgery was not difficult; it was a CSF leak, so all that was needed was to confirm the leak point through a nasal endoscope examination and then proceed with a single-nostril transsphenoidal approach for the treatment, which would effectively cure the condition.

As for the cost of the surgery, it was not very high. Jounouchi Hiromi had already inquired about it. When Keiko's family's financial situation was still adequate, her mother had purchased medical insurance. Such traumatic injuries caused by traffic accidents fell within the scope of medical insurance compensation. Therefore, Keiko's mother's treatment costs were not high to begin with, and with Jounouchi Hiromi agreeing to advance the treatment costs, the issue did not add to the financial burden of Keiko's family.

Of course, whether owing Jounouchi Hiromi such a large debt of gratitude would bring psychological pressure to Keiko was beyond Jounouchi Hiromi's control.

Although Keiko had written an IOU very seriously, and had stamped her mother's seal and her own fingerprint on it, this matter was not merely about money. For Keiko, this incident could not be considered as life-saving, but it was not far off.

"Alright, your mother's examination is already done. I will have the nurse arrange for her hospitalization. Your mother's condition requires absolute bed rest to prevent any aggravation of her illness, so you might need to take care of things by yourself for the next few days," said Jounouchi Hiromi, looking at Keiko's mother who had just completed the examination and then speaking to Keiko in a lowered voice.

"I can cook for myself. When mom used to come back late from work, I always cooked for myself. I can take care of myself," Keiko obediently expressed her ability to take care of herself and earnestly requested Jounouchi Hiromi, "Doctor Sister, could I ask you to take care of my mother?"

"Don't worry, our hospital's nurses are all very professional. They will definitely take good care of your mother. I will heal her too," Jounouchi Hiromi smiled at Keiko, patted her tender shoulder, and said to the nurse beside her, "Go with this nurse sister to handle your mother's hospital admission procedures!"

"Thank you, Doctor Sister!" Keiko quickly thanked Jounouchi Hiromi, then looked at the nurse beside her and earnestly said, "I'm troubling you, Nurse Sister!"

"No trouble at all, come with me," the nurse gave Keiko a friendly smile and took her together with her mother to handle the hospital admission procedures.

Watching Keiko leave, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but smile. Being able to help someone in need within her capabilities was indeed a good feeling.

"Husband, hurry up!" Egawa Sae, who was just out of surgery, urged her husband impatiently as she moved forward urgently.

"Slow down, Sha Hui, you've just recovered; don't walk so fast. Take care of yourself!" Egawa Sae's husband quickly followed and supported his wife, trying to soothe her restlessness.

However, this did little to affect Mrs. Egawa; she kept urging her husband to move faster.

If it weren't for not having fully recovered from the surgery, this woman would probably have already started running.

As her husband, Mrs. Egawa's husband understood his wife's feelings very well. After all, he was also feeling the same sense of urgency. If it weren't for concern over his wife's health and his own dignity, he might have run as well?

After all, what they were going to see was the child of the two of them.

In the previous surgery, to remove the tumor from Egawa Sae's body, the fetus from her womb was taken out, and now the child was placed in a culture tank of an Artificial Womb specially customized by Jounouchi Hiromi—this entire set of Artificial Womb equipment was housed in a sterile laboratory due to the need to maintain cleanliness.

For Egawa Sae, although the removal of her fetus was for the sake of saving her own life, she had always felt a sense of emptiness after the surgery, as if something was suddenly missing.

This was also why, even though her body had just begun to recover, after receiving a call from Jounouchi Hiromi telling her that she could come to see the child, she rushed to the laboratory—anxious because she knew what she was missing was precisely the life she had been carrying—her own child.

Although she had seen her child in videos and pictures sent by Jounouchi Hiromi, the feeling was vastly different from that of seeing her child with her own eyes.

However, when they arrived outside the sterile laboratory, they were naturally stopped.

"Sorry, the two of you, the lab is inside, and entry of unauthorized personnel is prohibited." In addition to being a comprehensive hospital, Tokyo University Medical School Hospital is also a research institution of The University of Tokyo's Medical School; thus, the laboratories here naturally have very strict security measures.

Egawa Sae, who was stopped, naturally felt very dissatisfied, but since the guard was earnestly carrying out the regulations, she had nothing to say and could only urge her husband to quickly call Jounouchi Hiromi, so that she could lead them in.

However, just as Egawa Sae's husband was searching for Jounouchi Hiromi's phone number on his cell phone, Jounouchi Hiromi's voice came from behind them, "Mrs. Egawa, did you arrive earlier than us?"

Upon hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's voice, Egawa Sae quickly turned her head and saw Jounouchi Hiromi walking towards them. She hurriedly greeted her.

"I'm really sorry, I was just doing a checkup for a patient and came over late. I apologize for making you wait," Jounouchi Hiromi said to Egawa Sae with an apology. Then she took out her ID card, opened the door to the laboratory, and explained the situation to the guard on the side, finally leading the couple into the lab.

The three of them passed through the lab's corridor and quickly arrived in front of the sterile laboratory where the Artificial Womb was laid.

"Sorry, because the lab has to remain sterile you can't go inside, so you'll have to observe from here," Jounouchi Hiromi led Egawa Sae and her husband to the glass window through which the interior of the sterile laboratory could be seen. She pointed to an orange-yellow culture tank inside and said, "The culture tank there contains your child. Everything is normal at the moment, the child is very healthy and growing well."

"Is that my child?" Egawa Sae pressed her whole person against the glass window, hoping to get a clearer view of her child—the fetus that was currently floating in the orange-yellow artificial amniotic fluid.

"Yes, that is Mrs. Egawa's child. The child's development is very good, and they will be a healthy baby!" said Jounouchi Hiromi, standing beside Egawa Sae with a smile on her face.
