"Mom, you're not feeling well either, so please don't worry too much. Uncle Ouyang is here, Father will definitely be alright."
A dignified middle-aged woman was tightly supporting a haggard-looking old woman, anxiously comforting her.
"It's alright, Mom's alright, don't worry, the old man will be alright too."
The old woman kept saying she was fine, but her hands were trembling uncontrollably.
"Grandma, please sit down and rest for a while. If you get tired again, this family will really be in chaos."
A handsome young man, half-forcing and half-pleading, helped the old man to a seat.
The old woman glanced kindly at her grandson, then looked back towards the ward.
Although there were many people standing at the door, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was somber and oppressive.
After a long while, Ouyang Gang walked out with a solemn expression.
"Uncle Ouyang, how is my dad?"
"Old commander... has he woken up yet?"
Everyone gathered around, their eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.
Ouyang Gang sighed softly:
"General Yang's condition is not very optimistic, and everyone should be mentally prepared."
"Uncle Gang, is there really no way out for my dad?"
A look of despair and sorrow appeared on the middle-aged general's resolute face.
"This... let me think about it some more."
Ouyang Gang hesitated for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered the medicinal wine that Chu Mo had given him.
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in everyone's hearts.
Mr. Yang is over eighty years old and his physical functions are severely weakened and deteriorating, especially in recent years, his health has been declining.
It was Ouyang Gang who had been using traditional Chinese medicine to nourish and strengthen him, which was how he managed to stay afloat.
Therefore, his words were considered authoritative reports by everyone.
"Dr. Ouyang, please ensure the safety of the old commander. Whatever his needs may be, the entire military region will do its utmost to meet them!"
An old general with three gold stars on his shoulder solemnly made his promise.
Mr. Yang was not only the commander of the Southern Military Region, but also a benefactor in his life.
"That's right, Uncle Gang. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we're willing to give it a try. No matter the outcome, no one will dare to blame you."
The middle-aged major general's eyes lit up. He knew that any doctor would be cautious and seek stability when prescribing medication in the presence of someone like his father.
Some prescriptions might be useful, but they required taking risks, and they absolutely dared not use them.
As General Yang's eldest son and a major general staff officer in the Dragon Kingdom's capital military region, Yang Jian's words undoubtedly provided Ouyang Gang with reassurance.
"A friend of mine brews a medicinal wine that is said to be very effective in treating various diseases caused by aging of bodily functions."
Ouyang Gang considered his words carefully, and said with a slightly uncertain tone:
"However, I just drank this medicinal wine before I came, so I'm not sure about its final effect yet, but it should be useful for the old general."
Everyone was completely bewildered.
If it weren't for Ouyang Gang's status, many people would have been cursing him out.
What does it mean to say something should be useful?
How dare you recommend it in this kind of setting without even understanding its effects?
Are we going to make General Yang a guinea pig to test the medicine?
"Dr. Ouyang, since the effect is still unclear, let's think of other methods. The old commander's body can't withstand any more stress."
The elderly general suppressed his anger and refused with a stiff expression.
"Uncle Ouyang, isn't this a bit risky? I also think it's better to be on the safe side."
The middle-aged woman looked utterly disappointed; her newly ignited hope vanished in an instant.
As for the hospital director who was waiting to the side, he wisely remained silent.
Although he didn't trust the so-called medicinal wine at all, he knew that he wasn't the one to make the decision here.
"Brother Ouyang, Old Yang has been very fortunate to have your help in his health over the years, but... does this medicinal wine you mentioned really work?"
However, Madam Yang did not refuse immediately, but looked at him with a hint of expectation.
The couple had known Ouyang Gang for quite some time, and given his serious and meticulous nature, he would never make baseless accusations.
"The final outcome is still unclear."
"But I think it will definitely be of great help to General Yang's condition!"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent, and everyone wore complex expressions.
There was doubt, expectation, and annoyance, but for a moment no one spoke.
Liu Changsheng's old face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and he was very dissatisfied.
What do you think? Should you?
Is this a word a doctor should use?
Even the slightest uncertainty shouldn't be used on the old leader!
If we don't try, how much longer can the old leader hold on?
This is a difficult choice.
Moreover, the matter was of great importance, and even as the head of the Southern Military Region, Liu Changsheng had no authority to make the decision.
"Uncle Gang, I believe you. Since you said that, it must have some effect!"
Yang Jian looked at Ouyang Gang with a determined expression and decisively offered his support.
"However, before we use it, could you please bring the brewer over as well?"
"Let him take a look at the old man's condition and then listen to his advice, what do you think?"
However, he still offered some suggestions.
Ouyang Gang nodded seriously.
"Even if you hadn't said it, I was planning to do it anyway. After all, he brewed the medicinal wine, and only he knows its effects best."
"However, there's one thing you have to promise me, otherwise I won't contact him."
Yang Jian quickly nodded: "Uncle Gang, please tell me, I'll agree to anything you can do!"
Ouyang Gang looked at everyone with a very serious expression and said solemnly:
