Provincial Hospital Orthopedic Ward, Old Gao lay in bed with his mother sitting beside him.
Upon seeing Chen Ying and Duanmu come over, Mrs. Gao hurriedly went to wash some fruit for them to eat.
"Old Gao, you've been in scientific research for so long, how could you make such a rookie mistake?"
Chen Ying whispered a rebuke to him, "You can't do this again in the future; look how much your mother has lost weight from fright."
Old Gao gave a forced smile, his grin somewhat strained.
"What did the doctors say? Do you still have sensation in your lower limbs?"
"I might need to have surgery, but my grandfather hopes to discuss with an orthopedic specialist whether surgery is viable for treatment."
Chen Ying took out a bone fragment from the cabinet and glanced at it.
The lumbar spine issue wasn't particularly severe, but there were signs of slippage, and the loss of sensation in the lower limbs was suspected to be caused by spinal concussion.
