Chapter 1694: Special products of the Third World (first update, please subscribe)
This private hospital in Jakarta is located in the suburbs of the city, with white buildings hidden among lush tropical plants.
Lin Caihan pushed his wheelchair and walked slowly along the boulevard. The breeze blows by, bringing a faint fragrance of flowers, and the sea water in the distance is shimmering in the sun.
Everything here doesn't seem like a hospital.
"It's so beautiful here."
Xiaowan said softly, a trace of blood appeared on her pale face. "It doesn't look like a hospital, but a resort." Lin Caihan looked down at his wife in a wheelchair, and she was looking up at the flowers on the trees by the roadside. The pink and white flowers bloom among the green leaves, and a few petals fell in the wind and fell on her knees. "Yes," he forced a smile, "A good environment will also help your recovery."
The wheelchair ran through the path between the grass and made a slight sound. The medical staff passing by were all wearing neat uniforms and nodded to them with a smile. In the spacious and bright corridor, elegant furnishings and green plants are placed, and a faint aromatic smell is wafting in the air, and the smell of disinfectant is completely impossible. "Talented man," Xiaowan suddenly held his hand and said to her husband. "Can I really cure me here?" Lin Caihan's heart suddenly tightened. My wife's hands were very cold, but she held them tightly. He could feel the expectation inside her, the urgency to seize a glimmer of hope in despair. "Yeah," he replied softly,
"The medical conditions here are very good, and the doctors are all top internationally. They will be able to undergo surgery soon and then they will recover."
They passed by a floor-to-ceiling window, and the sun shone in, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground. Outside the window is a carefully maintained garden, and several patients in hospital gowns are walking with nurses.
"When the operation is over,"
Xiaowan's voice was full of longing. "Let's go home, okay? I haven't been with the children in a long time? I miss them so much."
Lin Caihan's throat felt tight when his wife said.
Recalling these days, Lin Caihan knew that it was wrong for him to do so.
But looking at his wife's hopeful eyes, he knew that he had to make a choice, whether to choose family or to abide by his conscience.
He knew what he should choose.
"Yes."
He said to his wife. "When your health recovers, we will go on a trip together and take the children together." Xiaowan smiled, with fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes. This is the first time she has shown such a relaxed smile since she was hospitalized. "When I can walk around, the first thing I do is to listen to Xiaoyu playing the piano," she said:
"Actually, you know, I hope she dances ballet, but, okay, since this girl likes it, let her do it! As long as she likes it." Lin Caihan's hands trembled slightly. He remembered his daughter's clumsy but serious appearance when she was practicing the piano, and his son hid in the room and cried secretly.
They all look forward to their mother going home. And all of this is entrusted to the upcoming operation.
"Talented man,"
Xiaowan suddenly turned her head,
"Thank you for bringing me here. I know, you must have worked a lot of effort." Lin Caihan felt his eyes hot. He squatted down and hugged his wife gently: "Don't say stupid things. When you get better, our family will go to the beach, just like last year."
Xiaowan leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "Well, I still have to wear that floral dress."
The sun shines on them through the glass windows, so warm that it makes people want to cry. Lin Caihan hugged his wife tightly, as if this could keep this moment of tranquility and hope.
The air in Jakarta is humid and stuffy, but Lin Caihan feels chill all over.
Standing on the rooftop of this private hospital, he just looked at the night view of this strange city. Then he stood there smoking silently, and cigarette butts after cigarettes were revealed at his feet.
Just last year, the SEA's defense forces brought freedom to the city, and since that day, a lot of changes have begun to take place here.
The city is more prosperous, and neon lights illuminate the night sky.
Neon lights flashed in the night, but they could not illuminate the haze in his heart. "Look, this is Jakarta. This city is like this country, and we are liberated."
Standing beside him, he is his college classmate and his old friend Chen Ming. He works at UNDP and is working in Jakarta.
"We came here and carried out a lot of development projects, and we did change it here, at least to a certain extent."
"Lao Lin."
Chen Ming turned his head to look at his friend and said, "How is the situation of my sister-in-law's wife now?" Lin Caihan looked at his old friend and said, "Xiaowan is undergoing preoperative examination. The doctor said that the operation will be performed tomorrow." He paused and said, "
"Chen Ming, here... do you know something?"
"I know you want to know, but are you sure you want to know?"
"I..."
Lin Caihan nodded.
"I need to know."
"This hospital..." Chen Ming paused and said, "What do you say? Do you know the black market?" "Black market?" "Yes, it's the black market. On the black market, as long as you have money, you can buy everything... including organs!"
"What!"
"And there is a black market for organs in Jakarta!"
Lin Caihan's heart suddenly tightened. His palms began to sweat, and he looked at his friend and asked: "What does it mean?" "It's the black market for trading human organs! There are many rich people here for organ transplants. With demand, there will be a market."
Perhaps because he had worked here for a long time, Chen Ming became accustomed to all this, and his voice seemed very calm; "The source of organs on the black market..." He took a sip of cigarettes and said: "Many of them come from slums. Because of poverty, they can sell everything, and they can only sell everything. Some people are even forced to owe usury!"
What kind of information is revealed in a few simple sentences?
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
In the past few years, with the maturity of human organ transplant technology, not only kidney and liver transplantation have been achieved, medical experts have even overcome heart transplant technology three years ago.
It can be said that several hospitals in SEA have already owned the best organ transplant technology in the world, and the technology is becoming more and more mature.
In the past few years, more and more patients have needed organ transplants, especially wealthy people in various countries, who need new organs to sustain life. But correspondingly, there are not enough organs.
With demand, there is a market.
Where is the market?
Of course, in these underdeveloped areas, in Manila and Jakarta, the underground organ black market emerged.
Why is here, because it is close to SEA, there are excellent doctors who can engage in transplant work.
The sources of the organs... are diverse, but they are all locals.
My friend's words made Lin Caihan feel dizzy. He held the railing and said:
"You mean..."
"Brother Lin, you know, this is reality..."
Chen Ming's voice suddenly became serious,
"Reality is, if there is need, there will be a market."
Lin Caihan's throat tightened. He thought of Wang Mingyuan's mysterious smile, those documents of unknown origin, and the hospital's extremely rapid arrangement...
"The laws here are very relaxed," Chen Ming continued. "As long as you have money, you can do anything. Many European and American rich people come here for transplants because they can't wait for the schedule of formal channels." Lin Caihan felt difficulty breathing. He remembered the patients he saw in the hospital corridor, including foreigners in suits and ties, and rich people in luxurious clothes. They all look healthy and don't look like they need an organ transplant at all.
"This kind of business will continue, here..."
Chen Ming's voice was still very calm, "Now it is a place for providing, an area for providing organs." Lin Caihan remembered the slums he saw on the way he came, those dilapidated sheds and ragged children. He felt sympathy at that time, but he didn't expect...
"Brother Lin..."
Chen Ming's voice brought him back to reality,
"This is the real world. In fact, you shouldn't understand all this. You just need to know one thing--Mrs. Sister-in-law can survive because of it! This is the most important thing!"
Lin Caihan's hands trembled violently. He remembered his wife's gentle smile...yes, this is the most important thing!
He murmured to himself. "Okay, Brother Lin." Chen Ming said,
"Don't think so much, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you."
The next morning, Lin Caihan looked towards the ward. The nurse was doing her final examination for her wife and was about to push her into the operating room. His wife's face was pale, but she still smiled comfortingly at him.
He knew that after the operation, his wife would live healthy, and this was the most important thing.
As for the others... it doesn't matter!
——
Outside the glass curtain wall of Kuching Airport, the sunset dyes the sky a gorgeous orange red. Lin Caihan pushed the wheelchair and carefully avoided the crowd. Xiaowan's complexion was much better than half a month ago, and her face was also covered in blood. She was looking around excitedly at this moment. "Talented man, look over there!" Xiaowan suddenly pointed ahead, her voice trembling slightly due to excitement.
In the waiting hall, neighbor Hui and her two children greeted her, holding huge hand-painted posters. The poster is written with colored pens and says "Welcome Mom to Home", and the surroundings are full of love and flowers. Both children's eyes were bright.
"Mom!"
Xiaoyu was the first to find them and ran over with her arms waving. Xiaojie followed closely behind, and the poster in his hand rustled as he ran.
Lin Caihan felt his eyes hot. He squatted down and watched his wife hug the two children tightly. Xiaowan's shoulders were trembling slightly. She touched the children's hair and said over and over again: "Mom misses you so much, miss you so much..." Lin Caihan stood aside and looked at this warm scene. His wife's smile is so bright and his children's eyes are so bright, all of this is exactly what he wants.
But all this is not without a price.
The children were still chattering, and Xiaowan's face was filled with a happy smile, but all the beauty was built on a dangerous transaction.
"Dad,"
Xiaoyu pulled the corner of his clothes, "Let's go home. I've prepared a surprise for my mother!"
Lin Caihan squatted down and picked up his daughter:
"Okay, let's go home."
He pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the parking lot with the family. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them through the glass, pulling out long shadows.
Lin Caihan knew that behind this warmth, there was a price that would cost him, and that price might ruin everything he had now...
