Early the next morning, Liu Banxia and Wei Yuan arrived at the ward of the patient from the previous day.
The results of yesterday's X-ray of her long leg bone weren't very optimistic. Although the proportional increase in the width of the medullary cavity wasn't substantial, the signs were there.
Therefore, the patient could no longer just be kept under observation; she had to be admitted to the hospital. Even without a definitive diagnosis yet, there were already indications pointing towards this type of illness.
Now, they were waiting for the results of the β-glucocerebrosidase activity test, which were expected this morning.
"Dr. Liu, you won't tell me how serious it is," the patient said.
"It's mainly because it hasn't been confirmed yet," Liu Banxia replied. "If I told you now, you might not sleep well all night. We'll know soon enough. Doctor Xu has already gone to get the results."
