Chapter 946: Chapter 788 Hope_4

Jarvis was originally Tony’s steward, and he had detailed records of such matters.

“Ms. Potts, escorted by Miss Airi Suzuki, didn’t encounter any troubles and is currently handling some legal issues, as well as two companies under your name. Nick Fury has kept his promise and has already obtained approval.”

After finishing discussing these two relatively normal situations, the focus shifted to Stephen, who was Tao Yu’s main concern.

“Dr. Strange’s situation is comparatively worse; he has been more significantly affected and damaged by the G virus, and it is certain that he will have to bid farewell to his surgical career. He is having some trouble accepting this…”

While saying this, Tao Yu went to the bar, pulled out Tony’s limited edition red wine, and used it like mouthwash, he casually asked,

“So is he now seeking doctors to restore his hands?”

“Indeed, he has quite a few connections from before, so he was able to skip the queue for examinations, but no one is willing to give him any promises.”

Jarvis spoke of the continuous setbacks that Stephen had faced in recent days.

He exposed the Anbrella Company and is a survivor of the G virus victims, but despite being under the close protection of Minato Namikaze, he has not encountered any danger.

But his wish for recovery has also been shattered through various examinations…

“Hmm, let him be. Let’s start a lesson; bring out those papers Tony recommended last time.”

“Certainly, please wait a moment.”

Even though he had already acquired the Skill, the accumulation of knowledge is limitless.

Tao Yu, who used to be a poor student, had suddenly taken a liking to the feeling of being an academic overachiever.

As papers after papers were read into his mind, it felt as though the truths of the world were slowly being grasped by him…

…

While Tao Yu obtained Thor’s Hammer and then started diving into the ocean of knowledge acquisition,

On the other side, Stephen, pushed in a wheelchair by Minato Namikaze, came to the doorstep of a good friend’s home.

By then, he already had several medical reports and imaging data in his hands.

Minato Namikaze also reached out to press the doorbell of the homeowner.

“Thank you for your trouble these past few days, Mr. Namikaze.”

Stephen was sitting in his wheelchair, looking like an old man on his deathbed.

Even if Tao Yu had replenished his Life Energy, and he had nutritional intake during this period, a body eroded by the G virus doesn’t recover that easily.

The black Seal symbol on his shoulder was also concealed by his clothing.

“No need for politeness, Dr. Strange.”

Minato Namikaze looked at Stephen in the wheelchair, his eyes filled with a sigh.

With his body eroded to this state, he was much more troubled than Mr. Rhodes.

Before long, the homeowner came out to open the door and welcomed the two inside.

“Oh, Dr. Strange, even though I’ve seen you on TV, I didn’t expect it to be this bad, sigh…”

This doctor who opened the door wore a somewhat wistful expression upon seeing Stephen.

They were all top-tier surgeons, and they used to have good relations, discussing patients with difficult conditions with each other.

Seeing a friend reduced to this condition naturally brought on feelings of empathy and sorrow.

People are drawn towards benefit, and relations indeed tend to cool off over time.

But at least for now, their relations remained rather good.

Being top-tier surgeons with precious time, willing to make time in their personal schedules for someone to come over already said a lot.

But relationships are relationships.

After the doctor carefully examined all of Stephen’s reports, his face took on a very solemn look.

On the outside, it was clear that Stephen’s condition was terrible; he appeared to be wasted away.

But as deeper imaging tests were conducted, he said helplessly,

“I think, you’ve already seen all these tests…”

Dr. Bauer sighed, which made Stephen also appear somewhat disheartened.

“Yes.”

“Then you should be aware, this is not just ‘thinness’. Tendons, fascia, nerves, ligaments… almost all have suffered severe damage. Even if you manage to slowly regain them back, getting back to an ordinary person’s daily life would be quite something. As for surgery, I’m afraid it’s no longer a possibility…”

Dr. Bauer knew about Strange’s request; being a top-tier surgeon himself, he couldn’t accept the idea of having to give up surgery during the peak of his career.

“Stem cells, we could try the latest stem cell regeneration therapy. If we can successfully complete the repair and regeneration of these tissues, no, even a partial completion would suffice, I could regain my abilities through rehabilitation training, and once again stand at the operating table…”

Stephen seemed to be clutching at a lifeline, endlessly laying out his plan to the only friend who might still be able to help him.

Dr. Bauer patiently listened, but after hearing it all, he sighed,

“I would like to comfort you and say there is a chance, but Strange, you must be well aware, the likelihood is still extremely slim, the technology is not yet mature.”

However, at that moment, Dr. Bauer seemed to have thought of something,

“Right, I remember a patient that we both had refused before, a high-level paraplegic, I think I saw him playing basketball the last time…”

Initially, Stephen’s hope was once again dashed, but after hearing his words, a glimmer of hope sparked.

High-level paraplegia?

That’s undoubtedly one of the most difficult surgeries, with an exceedingly low success rate.

If they had both refused the case, then it was likely that no one in the world could succeed!

Even if it did succeed, it wouldn’t allow recovery to the point of playing basketball…

That is hope…
