"Indeed, Miss Hanayama's taste disorder was not caused by esophageal cancer," Chen Yu confirmed his suspicion after looking at the full-body CT scan results of Hanayama Mikie, who had undergone a comprehensive re-examination.

"A taste disorder not caused by esophageal cancer? Then what is the reason? I have seen Miss Hanayama's previous medical reports and didn't find any other problems!" Doctor Higashiyama, puzzled by Chen Yu's statement, felt confused because he had not noticed anything amiss in Hanayama Mikie's test results.

Chen Yu raised his hand and pointed at a barely noticeable small white dot on Hanayama Mikie's CT scan, saying to Doctor Higashiyama, "Neuroma of the glossopharyngeal nerve. A tumor growing on the nerve sheath that encases the brain nerves, compressing the nerve and causing the taste disorder."

"But if that's the case, why wasn't it detected before?" Doctor Higashiyama stared at the nearly inconspicuous white dot on the CT scan pointed out by Chen Yu for a long time before he could confirm it was the tumor that Chen Yu mentioned. "Miss Hanayama had undergone examinations at other hospitals before coming to our hospital.

Why didn't a single doctor find this tumor, and how did you notice it, Doctor Chen?"

Chen Yu laughed helplessly at Doctor Higashiyama's question and explained, "Because 98% of glossopharyngeal nerve tumors are benign, they grow only a tiny bit even over a year, and can be easily overlooked if one is not cautious. Moreover, everyone was distracted by esophageal cancer, so it's normal that it went unnoticed.

As for why I noticed it, it's because one of my previous patients also had esophageal cancer, and I have been following his condition since I was a graduate student at the University of Tokyo. I can list the symptoms of esophageal cancer with my eyes closed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although it does have some impact on taste in the terminal stages, causing loss of appetite and flavor, Miss Hanayama's condition hasn't reached that stage yet. I was merely speculating, so I asked her to undergo the examination again, and now it seems my guess was not wrong."

"Since we've found the cause, what should we do next?" After hearing Chen Yu's explanation, Doctor Higashiyama finally understood and then inquired what the next steps should be.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Doctor Higashiyama, and said somewhat surprised, "This is your patient. Shouldn't you decide how to treat her, Doctor Higashiyama? Besides, glossopharyngeal nerve tumors are benign. Just have it surgically removed, and that's it!"

"Ah, yes, yes! I'll go and find Miss Hanayama right away and explain the situation to her!" Doctor Higashiyama said as he took the CT scan results and hastily left the office as if fleeing.

Hiromi Jounouchi watched Doctor Higashiyama running away from Chen Yu's side, walked over curiously watching the direction he ran off to, and asked Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, what's with Doctor Higashiyama? He looks like he's being chased. And isn't a glossopharyngeal nerve tumor something that can be treated with surgery? Why doesn't he know that?"

"Concern leads to chaos! That patient is his sweetheart," Chen Yu laughed and looked at his girlfriend. "If it were you who were sick, Hiromi, I'd be just as flustered."

"Haha, that won't do. If you, Mr. Chen Yu, become flustered, then who will treat my illness?" His words made Hiromi Jounouchi laugh too, glancing at him enticingly, "I need your assurance, no matter what illness I get, you have to cure me!" Your next journey awaits at empire

"Alright, I promise. No matter what illness you may have in the future, Hiromi, even if it costs me my life, I will cure you." Chen Yu promised, watching his girlfriend's coquettish behavior.

Their affectionate display, oblivious to the surroundings, instantly drew the attention of others in the office. The Glasses Doctor protested loudly from the side, "Hey, hey! This is still the office! Can you two consider the feelings of the other single people here? This flashbang is going to blind me!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, Glasses Doctor, I got a bit carried away and neglected your feelings. Sorry about that!" Chen Yu promptly apologized to the Glasses Doctor, though his smile could not be concealed.

Hiromi Jounouchi, standing next to him and seeing the Glasses Doctor's reaction, also could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "We overlooked... What's your name again? We are truly sorry for ignoring your feelings. I know quite a few female nurses from other hospitals - very nice girls. Should I introduce one to you?"

"Please do introduce someone to me, I beg you!" Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi's offer to introduce a girl, the Glasses Doctor no longer seemed upset, leaping up from his seat, bowing deeply to Hiromi Jounouchi and earnestly requesting, but at the same time he reiterated his name, "My name is Mamoru Hara. Please, Miss Jounouchi, do remember my name correctly."

"Mamoru… Hara? Got it, I won't mix it up." Although she found the name a bit hard to remember, Hiromi Jounouchi conscientiously noted it down in a notebook, seemingly quite serious about introducing a match to the Glasses Doctor.

Watching Hiromi Jounouchi eagerly jotting down notes, Chen Yu curiously asked, "Hiromi, who are you planning to introduce to the Glasses Doctor?"

Since Chen Yu found it hard to remember the Glasses Doctor's seemingly cursed name, he simply used "Glasses Doctor" as an alternative.

"Mr. Chen Yu, do you remember Nurse Chief Chiba from our hospital before? She's close to me, beautiful and wise, and has always been single, so I thought of setting her up," Hiromi Jounouchi explained to Chen Yu, while also asking the Glasses Doctor for his details and noting them down in the notebook.

Seeing his girlfriend's enthusiasm, Chen Yu could only smile and let her take a seat at his desk, questioning the Glasses Doctor.

It wasn't until Hiromi Jounouchi finished asking her questions that Chen Yu asked her, "Do you have time tonight, Hiromi? Let's go out for dinner. I know a place that does great crab dishes. Can you join me tonight?"

"Crab? Hmm, crabs seem hard to shell!" Hiromi Jounouchi puckered her lips, showing a hesitant attitude and looked at Chen Yu with a playful gaze, "If you help me shell them, I'll go!"

"I'm helpless with you." He indulgently pinched his girlfriend's nose, once again dealing a blow to the single colleagues in the office.

Just as Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi settled their dinner plans for the evening, his phone rang again, "Moshi moshi, Rokuro? What's up?"
