After the examination that day, Lao Zhou went through the hospitalization procedures at Lin Lin's request and stayed in Ankang Hospital.

In the hospital at night, there is a hint of mystery in the silence.

Old Zhou lay on the hospital bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The unfamiliar environment, the worry about his illness, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart made it impossible for him to relax.

The lights in the ward were dim, and the occasional soft sounds from other wards added to his uneasiness.

He looked at the dark sky outside the window, his mind full of thoughts.

When I thought about my illness and didn't know where the future would go, and then I thought about my son who was about to be born, I felt a little comforted.

the next day.

Old Zhou sat up from his hospital bed early in the morning. He always felt weird sleeping here and felt uneasy. He couldn't sleep well, so he simply got up early and went downstairs to wait for his son.

He carefully put the things on the bed in order, as if he was sorting out his mood.

Then he took the elevator to the first floor.

There were already some strange figures moving busily in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital.

Old Zhou was holding a thermos cup in his hand, which contained red date and wolfberry tea that he had specially prepared while waiting for his son.

The sunlight shines on the thermos, reflecting a soft light.

Old Zhou gently stroked the thermos, as if this would make time pass faster and make his son appear in front of him sooner.

Remembering that Dr. Lin said that this tea was too nourishing for blood and qi and he couldn't drink it, Lao Zhou sighed slightly.

He knew that his physical condition was special and he couldn't take any supplements at will, but this red date and wolfberry tea was his gift to his son.

He thought about waiting for his son to come and letting him drink a sip to warm himself up.

He walked over to the sun-bathed waiting chair and sat down, quietly waiting for his son to arrive.

The sunlight shone on his body, bringing a touch of warmth, but it could not dispel the worries in his heart.

He kept looking towards the hospital gate, hoping that the familiar figure would appear soon.

Finally, a figure appeared at the hospital gate.

Old Zhou's heartbeat quickened instantly. He looked closely and saw that it was indeed his son Xiao Zhou.

He stood up hurriedly, waving the thermos in his hand and signaling to his son.

When Xiao Zhou saw his father, a bright smile appeared on his face and he walked quickly towards Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou handed the thermos cup to his son, his eyes full of love: "Come, son, have some tea to warm yourself up."

Xiao Zhou took the thermos, opened the lid, and a faint aroma of red dates and wolfberries wafted into his nose.

He took a sip gently, feeling his father's love and care, and his heart was filled with warmth.

"Dad, how are you? Are you feeling well?" Xiao Zhou asked with concern.

Lao Zhou smiled and replied, "Don't worry, son."

"With Dr. Lin here, I will get better."

Xiaoxuan, who was working at the front desk today, happened to walk in at this time.

She was wearing a neat nurse's uniform, with her long black hair tied behind her head, looking very capable.

Xiaoxuan had a warm smile on her face and her eyes were full of concern.

She was holding some documents in her hands, and seemed to have taken time out of her busy schedule to ask about Lao Zhou's situation.

Xiaoxuan looked at Old Zhou and asked, "Uncle Zhou, how was your sleep last night?"

Old Zhou said cheerfully, "Not bad. When does Doctor Lin start work? My son just arrived."

As she said this, she patted Xiao Zhou who was sitting next to her.

Xiao Zhou quickly stood up and greeted Xiaoxuan politely.

Xiaoxuan responded with a smile, then looked at Lao Zhou and said, "Doctor Lin usually comes to work around 8:30 in the morning, so don't worry."

"It's good that your son is here. You can feel more at ease with your family around you."

At this time, Xiao Zhou asked, "Sister Nurse, what is my father's condition like? Is it serious?"

Xiaoxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Doctor Lin to come and explain the specific situation to you. However, Mr. Zhou's condition does need to be taken seriously. He must actively cooperate with the treatment in order to recover soon."

A look of worry appeared on Xiao Zhou's face and he held his father's hand tightly.

Old Zhou felt his son's concern and felt warm in his heart. He comforted Xiao Zhou, "Don't worry, son."

"Doctor Lin is very good and will definitely cure my illness."

Xiaoxuan also said, "Yes, Xiao Zhou. The doctors in our hospital are very professional and will do their best to help Mr. Zhou recover."

The three of them chatted for a while in the waiting area, and time passed by unknowingly.

Finally, Dr. Lin appeared in the hospital corridor. Old Zhou and Little Zhou's eyes lit up and they stood up immediately.

Xiaoxuan also saw Lin Lin.

She took two steps forward and greeted Lin Lin with a smile, "Good morning, Doctor Lin! Uncle Zhou and his son are waiting for you there."

Lin Lin nodded and walked towards them quickly.

As soon as they met, Lin Lin extended his hand and introduced himself to Xiao Zhou: "Hello, I am your father's doctor, Lin Lin."

Xiao Zhou quickly reached out and held Lin Lin's hand tightly, his eyes full of eagerness and anticipation.

"Hello, Dr. Lin, how is my father's health now?"

Xiao Zhou's voice trembled slightly. He was eager to know how serious his father's condition was.

Lin Lin looked at Xiao Zhou's worried expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come with me to my office to talk."

Her tone was calm, giving people a sense of peace in the midst of panic.

Xiao Zhou and Lao Zhou looked at each other, then followed Lin Lin to the office.

Along the way, Xiao Zhou's heart was in turmoil and all kinds of speculations kept emerging.

He didn't know how serious his father's condition had progressed, nor did he know what treatment options he would face next.

When they arrived at the office, Lin Lin asked them to sit down, then poured two cups of hot water and handed them.

Xiao Zhou couldn't wait to ask again, "Doctor Lin, what's wrong with my father's health? Please tell me the truth."

Lin Lin sat at the desk, found Lao Zhou's medical examination report from a folder beside him, handed it over, and looked at them seriously.

"Your father's condition is indeed quite complicated."

Xiao Zhou took the examination report nervously, his hands trembling slightly.

Lin Lin continued, "After our examination, we found that more than 80% of the blood vessels in your father's heart are blocked or narrowed."

"This situation is already extremely dangerous and could lead to serious consequences such as myocardial infarction at any time."

"Also, he has eight cysts on his heart. Currently, we are unable to determine their structure."

“This will bring great uncertainty to treatment…”

Xiao Zhou's face turned pale in an instant. He turned to look at his father, his eyes full of worry.
