Chapter 93: Finding Someone for the Surgery
Grandma Jian made sure to emphasize that the sweater was knitted by Jian Yiling herself. Otherwise, Yu Jie might mistakenly think she had just bought it online without any thought. Every day, Jian Yiling was busy with school, yet she still thought about knitting sweaters for Yu Jie. It was essential for him to understand that not only did he care for his sister, but she was also thinking of him.
"The old lady really cares about Miss Jian and Young Master Yu Jie," the driver remarked, his voice filled with admiration.
"Ah, it's not just good feelings. Yu Jie's dream is to become a famous magician, and I can only watch from the sidelines. I worry about how this child will find his way in the future," Grandma Jian confessed, a hint of concern in her tone.
She was anxious about Yu Jie's aspirations but didn't want to overstep her boundaries and meddle in her grandson's affairs, which could create friction within the family. After all, if she clashed with her daughter-in-law, it would be her second son, Jian Shuhong, who would ultimately bear the brunt of it.
Once Grandma Jian finished writing the note, she carefully tucked it inside the sweater. The driver continued driving, and soon they arrived at the home of her second son, Jian Shuhong. She handed over the sweater along with other items she had brought from her own home to He Yan.
Grandma Jian often made it a point to deliver small tokens to her sons' families. The gifts weren't necessarily extravagant, but they carried the warmth and affection of a grandmother. No matter how wealthy a family might be, the love and concern of a grandparent couldn't be measured in monetary terms.

Meanwhile, Hong Baizhang took the initiative to contact Jian Yuncheng, eager to share some monumental news.
"Cheng Shao, good news! We've found someone who can perform surgery on your brother!" he exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.
"What did you say?" Jian Yuncheng, who was driving at the time, immediately pulled over to the side of the road upon hearing this.
"Is the information reliable?" he pressed, his heart racing with hope.
"I'm about ninety percent sure," Hong Baizhang replied. "The person can perform the surgery with a high degree of confidence, but the uncertain factor is whether they will agree to take on your brother's case."
"Do you have their contact information?" Jian Yuncheng's urgent tone revealed just how critical this matter was to him.
This news was crucial for the Jian family. Only if Jian Yunao's hand was healed could the dark clouds looming over Jian Shuhong's family dissipate completely.
Hong Baizhang explained, "The surgeon is affiliated with a prestigious medical institution. I only have the contact details for a liaison at that institution, but I haven't made direct contact with the surgeon yet. You know how some medical institutions maintain strict confidentiality regarding their personnel; even I may not have access."
As the director of a private hospital, Hong Baizhang had a deeper understanding of the industry than most. However, even he lacked the confidence to assure Jian Yuncheng that he could secure the surgeon's agreement.
"Keep in touch with them and tell them that we are open to any conditions. The compensation won't be an issue," Jian Yuncheng instructed, his determination evident.
"Don't worry, I will definitely communicate that. But you should also be prepared for the fact that many medical research institutions have powerful backers and may not be swayed by money alone," Hong Baizhang cautioned, well aware of the nuances of the medical field.
In simpler terms, these institutions had a high profile and didn't necessarily need the money.
"I've already sent your brother's medical records over. They told me they would take it seriously," he added, summarizing the current progress of the situation.
Hope flickered in Jian Yuncheng's heart. Perhaps, just perhaps, this was the breakthrough they had all been waiting for.
