21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 676 - 672: The Blackened White Knight (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)
At Kohinata Kaori's suggestion and Minami's insistence, the boss simply couldn't argue with his daughter and had to agree to go to the hospital for a check-up.
However, what they didn't know until they looked, was that the results of the examination took both the boss and Minami by surprise.
"It's lung cancer," said Kohinata Kaori in the consultation room, looking at the boss's CT scan results. "But there's no need to panic, it's only early-stage lung cancer. Whether it's surgery or medication, it can be completely cured."
When Minami heard Kohinata Kaori say it was early-stage lung cancer, she felt somewhat relieved despite her worries, but she couldn't help but scold her uncle, "Uncle, how could you neglect your health like this!"
"I do exercise regularly, how could I have lung cancer?" The boss himself found it unbelievable. Despite his erratic life habits, he was quite disciplined and always made sure to exercise. In his view, he shouldn't have contracted lung cancer.
However, as a doctor, Kohinata Kaori pointed out directly, "It's highly related to your smoking. The CT scan results show clearly there are shadows on your lungs, which are caused by smoking. For the sake of your health, you should quit smoking from now on."
"The doctor has said as much, uncle, you should really quit smoking!" Though she must call him uncle in front of others, Minami's concern for the boss was genuine, as that of a daughter for her father.
"Alright, I get it, I'll quit smoking," the boss capitulated after his daughter's urging, letting Minami take the cigarettes and lighter from his pocket and throw them into the nearby trash can.

If it hadn't been for the lung cancer diagnosis, the boss might not have cared much, but people are naturally afraid of death. Under the circumstance of having cancer, quitting smoking became an inevitable choice.
After disposing of the boss's cigarettes, Minami then turned to Kohinata Kaori with concern, asking, "Doctor, can my uncle's illness be cured?"
"It's just an early-stage tumor, not difficult to cure," Kohinata Kaori reassured Minami with a smile, "Don't worry. This stage of the tumor can be removed with a thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery. If managed well after surgery, the chances of recurrence and metastasis are very low.
In addition, you must know about the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug developed by my senior. If that drug is used, it can also effectively suppress the tumor activity, so much so that surgery might not even be necessary. However, it involves continuous medication and for non-advanced tumors, this approach is generally not recommended."
"But if we do surgery, can it be completely cured?" Minami was clearly hoping for a complete cure.
"The surgery technique is very mature, and since your uncle's tumor is still in the early stages and hasn't spread, complete removal should be no problem," Kohinata Kaori said confidently.
Hearing Kohinata Kaori say this, Minami was relieved and turned to her father, persuading him, "Uncle, just go ahead with the surgery!"
With his daughter's advice, the boss had no choice but to agree. Yet, he still asked Kohinata Kaori with concern, "If I undergo surgery, how long will it be before I can be discharged?"
"With thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery, patients can usually be discharged in three to five days and complete wound healing should take about a week. Compared to traditional thoracic surgery, this procedure is much more convenient and quick and also puts less strain on the patient's body," Kohinata Kaori explained to the boss and Minami about the thoracoscopic surgery and reassured them, "Although it's a relatively new technique, the technology is very mature. You don't have to worry about any problems."
Listening to Kohinata Kaori speak like this, the boss also set aside his worries and nodded, saying, "Then let's proceed with the surgery. Will it require hospitalization?"
"Surgery will require hospitalization before it can be performed. I'll book a surgery time for you." Seeing that the boss agreed to the surgery, Kohinata Kaori nodded, took out a form, and began to fill it out: "A nurse will take you to complete the hospital admission procedures later. Booking this kind of surgery is very convenient, and it could be done as soon as two to three days from now. A nurse will tell you about the related precautions, just hand this form to the nurse outside."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Minami hurriedly received the form handed over from Kohinata Kaori and expressed her gratitude.
"It's nothing, this is what we should do." Kohinata Kaori smiled politely, and after watching Minami and the boss leave, she finally stretched and relaxed.
Just as Kohinata Kaori was about to tidy up and return to her office, Chen Yu walked in from outside.
"During working hours, don't be so lax. If someone sees it, they'll gossip," Chen Yu reminded Kohinata Kaori to be mindful of her image, then asked her, "How did the boss' medical checkup result turn out?"
"It's lung cancer, but it's early stage, so I suggested that he undergo thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery." After being reprimanded like that by her fellow senior, Kohinata Kaori immediately straightened up and stuck out her tongue, while also explaining the boss' condition to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu nodded slightly. He didn't comment much on Kohinata Kaori's handling of the situation but instructed her, "You must be accurate in your assessment of the patient's condition and avoid misdiagnosis. As for the surgery, are you confident?"
"I've done similar surgeries in the United Kingdom, don't worry, senior brother, there won't be any problems," Kohinata Kaori confidently assured Chen Yu.
"If you're confident, then I'll leave it to you." Seeing that Kohinata Kaori was full of confidence, Chen Yu chose to trust his junior sister, "You don't have to worry about scheduling the surgery; I'll arrange for it to happen as soon as possible. You prepare the surgical plan today and show it to me. If there are no problems, we should be able to perform the surgery the day after tomorrow."
Hearing Chen Yu say this, Kohinata Kaori joyfully thanked him, "Thank you, senior brother! I'll do my best!"
Seeing her reaction, Chen Yu did not say anything more, simply nodded slightly, then turned and left the reception room, walking toward his own office.
However, halfway there, he suddenly felt a sensation, turned into a corridor, and since there was no one around, he returned to his Necromantic Space.
It was still the room where he had previously played chess with Yugu Jin, and the chess game was still that strange setup on the table.
However, when Chen Yu approached the table and glanced at the chess pieces, he picked up the White Knight, which he had placed on the board and then removed before, and placed it back on the board.
This time, the color of the White Knight successfully turned black.
"Now, with all the players gathered, the show is about to begin," Chen Yu looked at the chess pieces on the board, which had finally come together as he wished, and a profound smile appeared on his face.
