When Chang Meihua returned from the phone call, she heard these words and couldn't help but scold, "How dare you talk like that? If you're a doctor, then treat the patient properly. What did my dad do to offend you!"
Old Chang is in excellent health; he can run, jump, and is incredibly energetic. Everyone says he could easily live another twenty or thirty years.
How could the doctor tell Old Man Chang that his condition was serious? That's utter nonsense!
Old Man Chang glared at the doctor. This young man was not only irrational, but also a quack!
The doctor pushed up his glasses, his tone cold: "Shut your mouths and speak based on the actual situation!"
Then a string of technical terms came out of his mouth, and the more Old Man Chang listened, the dizzier he became. He felt as if he was about to die at any moment!
Old Man Chang threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, and rushed towards Chang Meihua: "Meihua, tell Dad the truth. Did you tell the doctor beforehand that Dad isn't sick...?"
Chang Meihua reached out to support him, shaking her head blankly: "No, I didn't plan anything. I was thinking that as long as you kept complaining of feeling unwell after being hospitalized, it wouldn't matter if the hospital couldn't find the cause of your illness. But now this is..."
Chang Meihua just called Chang Lanhua. Chang Lanhua got the script in advance. After Chang Lanhua dragged Chang Hongbing and the others to the hospital and made a scene, Aunt Yan, seeing that she couldn't get anything out of it for a long time, should leave.
If her father wants to marry a new daughter-in-law, the choice must be made through her.
Old Man Chang shoved Chang Meihua aside, bursting into tears: "It's all over, it's all over! The old saying goes, you shouldn't go to the hospital when you get old, it's bad luck. Your mother is the same, she was already a little tired, and after going to the hospital, she went crazy and started talking nonsense all day. It looks like I'm going to be finished too..."
Old Man Chang was crying and making a scene in the ward, while Chang Meihua frowned and squeezed in front of the doctor to ask about the situation.
"Doctor, my dad is in very good health. Everyone says he can live for several more decades. Could this be a misdiagnosis?"
The doctor nodded: "That's possible, so you'd better get a full body checkup to avoid spreading rumors that I misdiagnosed you!"
Just then, a nurse carrying medicine entered and remarked, "Dr. Jin is a highly skilled professional who has returned from overseas training. If Dr. Jin makes a misdiagnosis, then I'm afraid none of the doctors in the entire hospital will be able to treat him!"
After saying that, he glanced at Old Man Chang and his daughter, suspecting they were trying to extort money from him.
The doctor habitually adjusted his glasses: "Sir, your condition may be due to family history of this disease. What was the situation with your elders?"
Old Man Chang's parents and only sister died unnatural deaths, the details of which are unknown. Going back a few generations, Old Man Chang had two or three cousins and uncles on his maternal side, and several grandfathers who all died of sudden illnesses!
...
There was a moment of silence between Old Man Chang and his daughter, followed by Old Man Chang's painful cry. He suddenly felt pain all over his body!
"Plum Blossom, call home quickly, I'm dying! Plum Blossom! Hurry! It doesn't matter if anyone else comes or not, Mei-ying and Ri-hui must come!"
One is his most beloved granddaughter.
One is the pride of the Chang family.
Only when he sees these two things can he close his eyes in peace.
Chang Meihua was about to run out when she suddenly stopped and turned back to call out, "Dad, should we call Aunt Yan?"
It's pitiful that he only has a short time left after coming to the hospital. Well, let's just reluctantly grant his wish.
Aunt Yan is only after money. She stayed by Old Man Chang's side during his final days, so we should give her what she wants.
Old Man Chang shook his head frantically and shouted, "Who wants her! Quickly call Meiying and Rihui here, I need to settle my affairs!"
All this fuss and all that, just so I could have someone by my side in the future? But if there's no future for us, why bother looking for her? She's only thinking about the money in the old man's pocket!
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Chang Meihua responded and immediately ran outside.
The doctor and nurses told Old Man Chang that they would give him a full-body check-up later. Old Man Chang covered his ears, not wanting to hear it. He was about to die, what was there to say?
When Zhou Hongyu rushed to the hospital with Meiying, Old Man Chang was already crying his eyes out on the hospital bed, repeatedly telling her his last wishes.
Upon seeing Chang Meiying, a glint of light flashed in Old Man Chang's dim eyes, and he waved vigorously, "Meiying, come quickly to Grandpa's side, Grandpa is going to die!"
"Grandpa, what's wrong!" Chang Meiying was terrified. She had been addicted to video games lately and would run off to her classmates' houses whenever she had free time. She hadn't visited her grandparents in Shuangdong Hutong for several days.
"Ah, America and England—"
Old Man Chang was shouting at the top of his lungs, calling out to the soul; it was extremely pitiful.
Zhou Hongyu stood to one side and asked Chang Hongbing and his wife, who had arrived earlier, "What's going on? Is this a case of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide?"
She frowned.
Chen Zhaodi turned to reply, but Chang Hongbing spoke first, her voice trembling with tears, "The best doctor in the hospital, Dr. Jin, said Dad is dying. Dad just had a full checkup and is waiting for the results. Waaah, my dad..."
Chen Zhaodi couldn't help but slap him: "Don't cry!"
He then explained the situation to Zhou Hongyu.
"There's a very skilled doctor at the hospital who studied abroad. He immediately diagnosed Dad's symptoms and then asked about his family situation, including his maternal relatives..."
Chen Zhaodi looked at the old man, who was crying uncontrollably, with sympathy: "Going back a few generations, even your cousins who were of the same generation as you have all died of sudden illnesses. I'm afraid you'll be the same way!"
Tsk, impossible!
Old Chang still has decades to live; he went to the Bird's Nest to watch the Olympics.
Zhou Hongyu didn't say anything more, and firmly said, "Let's wait and see the test results!"
Over here, Old Man Chang hugged Chang Meiying and cried. After thinking for a while, he suddenly wanted to kick everyone else out of the ward except for Chang Meiying, because he wanted to give his inheritance.
The others didn't react much. Old Chang's fingers were limp and he didn't have much money, so he could give it to whomever he wanted.
As for the properties under his name, that's not something he can decide.
The only people left in the ward were Grandpa Chang and his granddaughter. After being comforted by Zhou Hongyu, Chang Meiying cried less, but she was still heartbroken.
Chang Meiying wiped her nose and said, "Grandpa, can't you live a few more years?"
Old Man Chang wiped away his tears: "Live, Grandpa, live! Meiying, your third brother, that unfilial son, ran away abroad and couldn't even see Grandpa one last time. Grandpa's inheritance is all for you!"
Chang Meiying nodded blankly and obediently listened.
Old Chang sighed, feeling sorry for the hundred-odd yuan he had given to Aunt Yan not long ago. If he had kept that money, he would be very wealthy.
Old Chang earnestly confessed his secret stash of money in Shuangdong Hutong. There were some coins in a small jar under the bed in his room, and banknotes stuffed into his unwashed, smelly socks, totaling more than ten yuan.
"Grandpa, please don't die—"
Chang Meiying suddenly burst into tears; she wanted her grandfather more than money.
Zhou Hongyu heard Mei Ying burst into tears outside and was about to open the door to stop her when she saw the doctor walking in with the test results. Chang Meihua followed closely behind, her face still pale but not as tense.
The situation isn't too bad...
Chang Meihua walked over, calling out, "Dad, the test results are in! Come and see!"
Old Man Chang roared from inside, "Don't come in! Wait until I finish speaking before you come in!"
His world collapsed after hearing the test results. He could hold on a little longer until he heard the ultimatum, and wait until he finished explaining things to the US and UK.
