After making the call, the chubby girl rushed back to the emergency room to wait.

Aunt Chen was wiping away tears outside the emergency room, and several other women from the neighboring house were also there.

"How could she suddenly faint? Mrs. Lin has always been in good health."

"The doctor just said the patient is seriously ill?"

"I heard clearly, it was indeed said that she was seriously ill, but I hadn't heard anything about her being sick..."

The group whispered among themselves, sighing.

Grandma Lan sat to the side, her eyes glazed over.

She had noticed it long ago; when she found Jiaojiao, Atai's mental state was clearly off.

Later, on the day Ah Yan and the others arrived in Germany, Ah Tai acted even more strangely.

"I just got through on the phone, and they're flying back right away..." The chubby girl choked up, her legs went weak, and she trembled uncontrollably.

Aunt Chen pulled her down to sit and patted her hand.

It was too urgent; there wasn't time to get Grandma to the city hospital.

The chubby girl wiped away her tears, immediately got up, and made another phone call.

This call was to Lu Qiuying. Xiao Jin knows a doctor in the city, so they should be able to get here in time.

Now it's a race against time...

Fortunately, she went to the Lin family early this morning, otherwise her grandmother might have fallen asleep in bed.

The chubby girl still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it.

When she returned, the emergency room door was open.

The doctor took off his mask, his face grim. "We need to get him to the city as soon as possible, otherwise the old man won't make it through the night."

Grandma Lan gripped the hem of her clothes, forcing herself to calm down.

Unfortunately, both Grandpa He and Grandpa Lu went fishing today, and they went to a very far place.

Grandma Lu went to Beijing on business and hasn't returned yet...

"I turned around, but none of the children were there..." Grandma Lan's nose tingled, and she couldn't finish her sentence.

“Okay, we have a doctor accompanying us, so we can handle any emergencies.” The doctor visibly relaxed.

The hospitals in the county town are not well-equipped enough; here, the only option is to save lives.

…

At this time,

In the family compound of Guangzhou,

Lu Qiuying was wearing a dress, and she was showing signs of pregnancy, but because her uterus was positioned retroverted, it wasn't very obvious.

She was about to call the city hospital when another call came in.

You don't need to look for doctors in the city anymore. I happen to be in the city, so it'll be better if I go directly there. Besides, they've already transferred A-Tai to the city hospital...

Xiao Jin briefly explained the situation.

Lu Qiuying hung up the phone, her forehead beaded with cold sweat from anxiety.

The nanny, Aunt Chen, quickly poured her a glass of warm water. "Minister Lu, don't rush, drink some water and calm down."

Lu Qiuying's hands trembled, and her heart was pounding.

To this day, she has never seen any of her relatives pass away.

Now that she's suddenly received the news, she's getting a little restless.

No, she needs to go back as soon as possible.

"Aunt Chen, I'm going back to Fuzhou this afternoon. You can go home and take a break now. Wait for my call." After finishing her water, Lu Qiuying immediately decided to go back.

Rather than living in fear here, it's better to go back.

Now that the Ministry of Commerce in Guangzhou is on track, she doesn't need to keep a close eye on things all the time.

In addition, since there haven't been any major projects recently, she can go back to Fuzhou and inspect the port there.

The port was able to be completed ahead of schedule thanks to the workers in Fukushi working overtime.

Aunt Chen said, "Okay, I'll help you pack your luggage."

Lu Qiuying called her secretary to move her trip back to Fuzhou forward and asked her to help book her plane ticket.

It only takes an hour and a half to fly back from Guangzhou.

On the other side,

Lin Shaowen directly instructed his secretary to apply for a private jet route and cancel the previous tickets.

This was more than three hours faster than the booked flight.

They returned early, without having time to notify the others.

At this moment, the chubby girl didn't have time to make a phone call; she was running up and down the stairs with the nurse.

After being taken to the city hospital, no illness could be found. Medication was administered, but she remained unconscious, as if she were asleep.

The doctor suggested they transfer to a higher-level hospital, preferably in Beijing, but that would be very risky.

Grandma Lan stayed at the hospital, looking exhausted.

They didn't dare make that decision.

Spending several hours on a plane from Fukushima to Kyoto is too dangerous.

The chubby girl pursed her lips tightly, not daring to reply to the doctor.

Grandma was wheeled into the intensive care unit, with tubes inserted all over her body.

The doctor continued, "If we don't transfer you to another hospital, we can only maintain your vital signs and can't do any other treatment."

The elderly person's current examination results only show signs of aging, not the serious illness you described when you brought them in.

Everyone understood what he meant; he was saying that Grandma's life was coming to an end...

The chubby girl squatted down and burst into tears, unable to accept this fact.

Grandma Lan's eyes welled up with tears, but she forced herself to hold them back.

"How much longer can it hold out?"

"It's hard to say. Although the elderly man is currently in a coma, his other bodily functions are still relatively normal," the doctor said conservatively.

He wanted to say that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his health.

If the county hospital can't find anything wrong, they might just assume it's a serious illness.

The chubby girl quickly calmed down and didn't ask any more questions.

This doctor was found by Xiao Jin and is already a leading expert in the area.

Now I just pray that my grandmother will wake up on her own.

The medical standards at Fuzhou City Hospital are comparable to those in Beijing.

Due to the continuous influx of foreign investment in recent years, Fuzhou Municipal Hospital has introduced a lot of new equipment. If even this equipment cannot detect anything, then it is not certain that it can be detected in Beijing as well.

When Lu Qiuying arrived at the hospital, everyone was waiting in the ward corridor.

Cao De was already in the city, so he simply stayed to help out.

But now he can't help at all.

"Pearl, is Grandma alright?" Lu Qiuying walked straight to the chubby girl's side.

The chubby girl briefly explained the situation, and then choked up again.

To her, her great-grandmother was no longer just the old lady next door; she was no different from her own grandmother.

She couldn't even remember how many times she'd made those trips today—getting reports from the nurses, hailing the ambulance to the city…

Lu Qiuying sat down next to her, but when she looked up, she didn't see her grandmother.

"Grandma Lan and my mother went to rest at the hotel next to the hospital." The chubby girl immediately guessed as she followed her gaze.

Xiao Jin came from the doctor's office, saw Lu Qiuying, paused for a moment, then quickly walked over.

"Why did you rush back? Are you feeling unwell?"

His heart was in his throat, and his eyes were full of tension as he looked at Lu Qiuying.

Xiao Jin now wished he could put her in his pocket and keep an eye on her at all times.

Lu Qiuying shook her head, "It's very well-behaved, not at all... Hmm."

The fabric close to her stomach bulged out.

Xiao Jin's eyelids twitched; she wanted to touch them but dared not.

He read a lot of books about pregnancy, all of which were sent to him by his classmates abroad.

Xiao Jin knew, of course, that it was fetal movement, but he didn't dare touch it.

"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

"Um, my stomach is just a little bloated," Lu Qiuying said earnestly.

She had an overly anxious new father, so she dared not be careless.

Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, staring intently at her stomach as if trying to see something out of it.

"What did the doctor say? How much longer will Grandma be in a coma?" Lu Qiuying asked hurriedly.

Xiao Jin gave a brief explanation, which was no different from what the chubby girl had said.
