At 7:15 p.m., the indicator light in the emergency room turned from red to green, the operation was over, and a male doctor walked out of the door, took off his mask, and looked a little tired.

In a flash, everyone gathered around.

"How is my father?"

"Well...I have bad news and good news."

The male doctor pursed his lips, looked at the old woman who was walking forward and said:

"The good news is that the rescue was successful. Mr. Ogawa is now out of danger and will wake up in an hour."

The old woman hummed and asked:

"What bad news? Just tell me what you want to say."

“The bad news is…”

The male doctor sighed, took the medical record from the nurse, and handed it to the relative:

"According to MRI, cerebral angiography, CT, and neuroradiology examinations, Mr. Ogawa has symptoms of enlarged cerebral ventricles and deepened cerebral sulci, commonly known as brain atrophy."

"The fainting and foaming at the mouth that occurred earlier were also due to the impact on the central nervous system. The condition...is not optimistic."

Born into a medical family, the old woman understood what the doctor said immediately, but Domon Yasuki beside her was a little confused, as this was not his professional direction:

“What is the relationship between brain atrophy and the central nervous system?”

"Brain atrophy is a degenerative disease. As we age, our bodies naturally lose some brain cells. This process is very slow and only accelerates when we are exposed to external trauma, disease or infection, and the damage is more obvious."

Miss Miyano said with a serious expression:

"When brain cells are lost, the brain cannot maintain its original size and shrinks, just like lean meat that has been heated."

"This disease is very common, mostly occurring in the elderly. It may cause dementia, memory impairment, behavioral disorders, personality changes, and epilepsy. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ogawa Yoshio fainted just now because of epilepsy, right?"

"Ah... yes."

The doctor nodded.

“But this is not the most important thing…”

Miss Miyano recalled what she had learned and said thoughtfully:

"Mr. Ogawa Yoshio already has early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, which is also a degenerative disease, manifested in memory loss, slow reaction, poor executive ability, slurred speech and other aspects. Brain atrophy may... no, it will definitely aggravate the condition of Alzheimer's disease!"

"This lady is right."

The doctor looked at Miss Miyano in surprise:

"Mr. Ogawa Yoshio's Alzheimer's disease has worsened. This is only the first epilepsy. The same symptoms will occur again in the future, and the duration of the onset will be shorter and shorter. In the end... there is no way to save him."

"How long can Yi Nan live?"

The old woman's voice sounded trembling:

"Don't hide it, I'm his wife and I have the right to know!"

"One to two years. If you take good care of it, it won't be more than three years at most."

The doctor knew who the old woman was, so he didn't dare to disobey her and told her directly:

"Mr. Ogawa will need the company of others in the coming days. His mobility has been affected. He currently needs the support of others to walk. If he has more attacks, he will have to use a wheelchair... I am very sorry. I have tried my best."

Shaking his head, the doctor left. The old woman stood there in a daze, as if she couldn't accept the result. It was not until the bed was pushed out of the emergency room that she raised her eyes. In an instant, she seemed to have aged many years.

Back in the ward, she stayed by the bed, and no one dared to disturb her. After a long time, the old woman finally spoke. Her hoarse voice was like a traveler in the desert in urgent need of water, full of the atmosphere of old age:

"No matter who he is, you must find him..."

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

The old woman did not answer her son's question. She stared at Sakaki Makoto, her cloudy eyes filled with sadness... and anger.

The doctor just said that external trauma may accelerate brain atrophy, and Yoshio Ogawa fell down the stairs and hit his head not long ago, which was one of the causes of his illness.

If he had not fallen down the stairs, Yoshio Ogawa might have lived a few more years and would not have to suffer from epilepsy.

From this moment on...

The old woman's mood changed.

Doctors have kind hearts, but she is not a doctor. She wants the prisoners to pay the price they deserve!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Although Sakaki Makoto is not a righteous partner, he can empathize with this matter.

If his loved ones were pushed down the stairs and nearly died, he would only be more angry and more cruel than the old woman.

"Yi Nan, come home..."

The old woman stood up with the help of crutches and said to her husband who was unconscious on the bed:

"Let's go home..."

..........................................

At 8:30 in the evening, Makoto Sakaki and his companions drove to Yoshio Ogawa's home.

This is a standard Japanese courtyard. A U-shaped circular wooden house is located between the Luweiqing Pond, flower gardens and ancient cypresses. It is quiet and peaceful. It is twice as large as an ordinary villa and is almost as large as three Kudo residences. It can accommodate 50 people for long-term residence. It is almost a hundred years old.

Maebashi City is naturally not as prosperous as Tokyo. To own a courtyard like this in the city center, money alone is not enough. The Ogawa family must be extremely powerful.

"You're back."

As soon as he got off the car, Sakaki Makoto saw two women in classical kimonos standing at the door to greet him. One was nearly middle-aged and the other looked like a high school student. They were most likely the daughter or granddaughter of Akutagawa Fuuna.
