"Second brother, I know how you feel, but with your eldest brother not around, you are the pillar of the family."

My sister-in-law thinks we should still consider Dad's feelings.

Zhao Min thought that the second son would listen to her.

"Sister-in-law, I'll think about it."

Xu Fengtian, however, remained silent about his decision.

Zhao Min was slightly anxious, but she had already discussed everything with the doctor.

Why is this second son so stubborn these days?

The matter concerning the eldest son should be settled in the next couple of days. If we don't get the old man settled, and he wakes up, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

She wouldn't have been in such a hurry if the doctor hadn't said the old man could wake up at any time.

Everything was going so smoothly that if the old man woke up and messed things up at the last minute, it would be too late to regret it.

If the old man finds out what she's done, neither she nor her son will escape unscathed.

When this old man Xu was young, he was incredibly decisive and ruthless.

He's a ruthless person.

Despite his advanced age, he's still ruthless. If he finds out his grandson isn't from the Xu family, it'll be a big problem.

She couldn't take it anymore.

It's precisely because they didn't want to endure it any longer that they wanted to resolve this matter once and for all; otherwise, they wouldn't have taken such a risk and made so many moves.

"Second brother, this matter can't be delayed any longer. You know the old man's health condition. If it continues like this, all of his organs will fail."

We'll still have to keep an eye on the old man then...

I know you're feeling bad, but there are some decisions we have to make.

As the eldest sister-in-law, she is like a mother to me!

I've decided to arrange for the old man to have surgery as soon as possible.

Just listen to me.

Zhao Min decided to make this a reality, since Xu Fengtian had no idea what she was thinking.

The second son will still listen to his every word.

Just then, the doctor walked into the ward, and upon hearing this, looked up and said...

"Since your family members are here, please take a look at this surgical consent form."

If you agree, please sign, and we will arrange it as soon as possible.

We'll schedule the surgery for the old man this afternoon.

He exchanged a subtle glance with Zhao Min.

"Okay, we agree to perform the surgery on the old man. We'll sign the papers now."

Zhao Min took the surgical consent form directly and handed it to Xu Fengtian without giving him a chance to react.

As long as Xu Fengtian signs it.

Even if something happens in the future, it won't be my fault.

Xu Fengtian gripped the surgical consent form tightly, raised his head firmly, and looked at the doctor, saying...

"Doctor, I just want to ask why my father needs surgery now?"

What is my father's current situation?

Two days ago, the head of the internal medicine department at the hospital told me that if my father's condition continues as it is and does not worsen, he is very likely to wake up.

Why did my father need surgery within just two days?

And where is your Director Liu?

I want to see him and discuss my father's condition.

Xu Fengtian was suspicious. Some time ago, they had consulted the best cardiology director at the county hospital.

The doctor in front of him hurriedly explained.

"Director Liu went to the provincial capital for training, and before he left, he arranged for the old man to be with me."

"Don't worry, I'm the deputy director of the cardiology department in our county. My skills are no worse than Director Liu's."

"Before Director Liu left, the old man's condition was indeed relatively stable."

However, the old man's condition has been getting worse these past two days, and he has already been resuscitated several times.

Given the current situation, surgery is the best option; otherwise, we can't be sure how long the old man can hold on.

"I have already spoken with your sister-in-law about the old man's condition."

Currently, the best solution is surgery.

"If you don't perform the surgery, the old man might not survive the next two days."

Xu Fengtian gritted his teeth. This was clearly alarmist talk. If what Jiang Tiecheng said was true, the old man would wake up tonight.

In other words, the old man's condition has not worsened at all.

The other party has ulterior motives and is forcing me to agree to have surgery for my father; this is clearly ill-intentioned.

"Since the deputy director has said so, let's sign it quickly!"

The sooner we get the old man operated on, the sooner he'll have a better chance of survival.

"You wouldn't want the old man to have any regrets for the rest of his life if something were to happen to him."

Zhao Min eagerly handed over the pen in her hand.

We're just hoping Xu Fengtian will sign it soon.

Xu Fengtian shook his head.

"Doctor, we won't be doing this surgery together for now. Even if we were to do it, I would need two days to think about it."

Right now, I'd like to observe for another two days.

The doctor in front of me, wearing a mask, looked impatient; he hadn't expected Xu Fengtian to be so stubborn.

Even after all that, they still wouldn't agree.

Grandpa Xu could wake up at any time. If he wakes up in a few hours, then all will be lost.

The Xu family has been tormented to this extent by them. They are just one final blow away. Once the old man is gone, everything will be fine.

But Xu Fengtian stubbornly refused to sign.

It seems we need to take drastic measures.

"Comrade Xu Fengtian, you all need to think this through yourselves. The old man's condition is extremely critical right now."

We already performed resuscitation twice yesterday, and we have records of those resuscitations.

If anything unexpected happens to the old man today because you refused to sign, I hope you won't regret it, because such opportunities are rare.
