[You realize that you have reached the end of the direction you have been working towards. Your surgery is close to perfection. You have already stood at the top of the mountain built on the existing medical foundation.]
[Unless you make the mountain of medicine even taller, you will never be able to get closer to the sky or your wishes.]
[You are already 53 years old, your energy is beginning to decline, and the surgery has already made you tired. It is impossible for you to devote yourself to the basic field of medicine and achieve success.]
[You can only hope that the feeling of reaching the top is just an illusion, and there are higher peaks in the existing medical mountain for you to climb.]
[You found your wife's medical records from the databases of Chikusa University Hospital and Misaki University Hospital, and inferred her heart condition. The new surgical technique is not yet sufficient to allow you to safely cure her.]
Looking at the simulated text, Nan Youxi rubbed his temples.
Was the simulation going in the wrong direction? Would a more perfect surgery alone not be enough to save Reina Nakajima? Would a more significant medical breakthrough be needed
Judging from the simulation text, this operation is just not very safe, but it is not impossible to save Rena Nakajima.
However, there is only one chance to extract skills. If after extracting the experience of the new operation, he finds that it is not enough to save Reina Nakajima, he will have to temporarily give up Reina Nakajima and simulate with others first to get the opportunity to extract skills.
He really didn't want to wait that long.
One can only hope for further developments in The Sims.
Nan Youxi continued to look at the simulation interface.
[After entering the bottleneck period, you slowed down your pace and gave more opportunities to the young people under you. ]
[You and Reina's daughter, Mozi, has reached adulthood and is old enough to drink. You often have a few drinks with her at home. Of course, Mozi prepares the drinks and snacks.]
[Mozi is a well-behaved child. When you adopted her, she was already 11 years old and her personality was basically formed. Her mother had advised you to adopt a younger one, but you were concerned that you were busy with surgery and might not be able to take good care of your daughter, and an 11-year-old girl could take care of herself a little.]
[The fact is just as you think. Once you encounter a case similar to your wife's, you devote yourself to it and often forget that you have a daughter.]
[When you first adopted Mozi, you stayed in the hospital dormitory for a week or two several times before you realized you had forgotten something.]
A memory scene appears.
Nan Youxi, who has entered middle age, is as physically fit as young people, but when it comes to his brain, I don’t know whether I should say that his memory is poor or his attention is as focused as before. On the third day after adopting Mozi, he took over an important operation. The operation took half a month to prepare, and during this half month, he didn’t remember at all that he had a daughter at home.
After the operation, he saw the patient’s three daughters surrounding the bed. He thought enviously, it’s great to have such lovely daughters. Then he suddenly remembered, wait, I think I have a daughter too
After briefly explaining the work, he immediately drove home.
When the car arrived outside his house, there were still a few rays of sunset left, but by the time he rummaged through the drawers and found the key to his house in the car, it was already completely dark.
When he opened the door, he felt uneasy, wondering what his home would become after he had been "missing" for more than ten days.
To his surprise, everything in the house was in order. In the dining room, his daughter Mozi was sitting at the dining table, eating dinner.
It was a dinner of grilled fish, tempura, miso soup, and salad. All of them were fresh meals, not bento boxes or meal packs from the supermarket.
When Nan Mozi saw him coming back, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. The girl was of average height among her peers, with a serious expression on her cute face, her hair tied in a neat ponytail at the back of her head, and her black sailor uniform neatly arranged.
"Welcome home," she said. "Dad, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet." Nan Youxi looked at the intact house and her daughter, feeling a little dreamy.
I forgot my elementary school daughter at home for half a month, and when I came back I found that she had tidied the house and was living a healthy life. Is this normal
"I prepared some extra," Nan Mozi took out the remaining dish from the kitchen, "Dad, come and eat together."
"Why did you prepare more?" Nan Youxi was indeed hungry, so he pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table.
"Prepare it for tomorrow's lunch box. Just prepare the lunch box again tomorrow morning." Nan Mozi served a bowl of rice and handed it to Nan Youxi.
Her movements were natural and her words were calm, and the tension in Nan Youxi's heart slowly dissipated.
He tried some of the dishes: "It tastes pretty good."
The table was quiet, and the two ate in silence. Minami Yuki finished first and sat on a chair to look at her daughter, who was still a little unfamiliar. Her daughter's delicate features looked a bit like Reina, which was why Minami Yuki chose her at once.
He intentionally skipped the topic of his "disappearance", but unexpectedly, Mozi took the initiative to talk about it:
"Dad is on a business trip? He hasn't been back for thirteen days."
“Ah… yes.”
"Really?" Nan Mozi raised her face, her small eyes containing a maturity that did not match her age.
Facing such a pair of eyes, Nan Youxi could only confess honestly: "I was too busy with work and forgot about you."
"Although Dad said that work would be very busy, I really didn't expect it to be this busy." Nan Mozi's eyes flashed with worry, "Did you eat well?"
Nan Youxi never expected that her daughter would actually worry about her.
He replied: "I eat the hospital's meal plan, so the nutrition should be guaranteed."
"You must eat on time. I heard that many doctors have irregular eating habits. Did you bring a change of clothes? I'll help Dad wash them."
"That's not necessary. There is a washing machine in the hospital and the nurse will help me wash it."
"The washing machines in the hospital are shared, right? It's better to use the one at home, and it's not a good habit to bother the nurses."
“… I’ll bring it back next time.”
"Have you been living in the hospital dormitory these days? How do you change the bedding in the dormitory? Are all the daily necessities in the dormitory complete? It's the weekend the day after tomorrow, I'll help dad clean up."
Nan Youxi was overwhelmed by his daughter's constant concern. Even for him, being concerned about by an elementary school student would be embarrassing. He hurriedly changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm fine. How has Mozi been doing these days? Is there any difficulty?"
Nan Mozi replied: "I take the shuttle bus to school in the morning, and after school I go to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries, cook, and clean the house. It's pretty normal."
No, this was not normal for an 11 year old by any stretch of the imagination!
"It's not difficult. My father left me a lot of money. My beloved aunt has visited me four times and brought me a lot of food." Nan Mozi finished the rice in her bowl, put on her pink slippers, and ran upstairs quickly.
After a while, she ran down again and handed the iron box in her hand to Nan Youxi. Nan Youxi opened the lid of the box, and inside were white invoices, as well as leftover banknotes and coins.
The girl reported to Nan Youxi: "I spent a total of ..."
"That's not necessary." Nan Youxi closed the iron box and handed it back to her daughter. "These are all your pocket money. You can use them as you like."
“Use it as you like?” For the first time, Nan Mozi showed surprise on her serious face.
"Yeah, you can buy snacks, dolls, go to video game stores, buy trendy gadgets, whatever."
"That's a waste of money." The girl frowned slightly, disapproving of these consumption methods.
"This is normal entertainment." Nan Youxi pointed at the dining table. "Also, cooking at home is troublesome, so you can just go to the mall next door to eat. You can pack lunch boxes at the restaurant, or buy them at the supermarket."
The girl frowned even more deeply. "Although the food outside tastes better and saves time, I don't think this little difference in taste and the little time saved is worth so much money."
Nan Youxi realized that this newly adopted daughter seemed to be exceptionally frugal.
"Although Dad has money, he can't spend it recklessly. Several of my friends in the welfare home are sent to the welfare home because their parents are extravagant and have spent all their money and are in debt. They can no longer support them, so they sent them to the welfare home." Nan Mozi turned around and advised Nan Youxi.
Tomorrow's update may be a little late, as I have to go to my grandmother's house tomorrow. I will return to the city tomorrow night, and will resume the 6,000-word update the day after tomorrow.
