How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly need emergency treatment?
Xu Yanshu drove very fast, running several red lights in a row, and the journey that normally takes forty minutes was completed in just ten minutes.
When he arrived, a nurse was rushing out of the operating room.
"Who is the patient's family member? Please sign this critical condition notice!"
Xu Yanshu's pupils contracted sharply, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "I...I am!"
After receiving the notification from the nurse, Xu Yanshu tremblingly signed the surgical consent form. Looking up at the brightly lit emergency light, he felt a sudden heaviness in his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Turning her head and seeing the person standing next to her, Xu Yanshu asked, "Aunt Xu, what exactly happened?"
Aunt Xu was clearly startled as well. After a moment of stunned silence, she reacted and tiptoed forward, her face still showing lingering fear.
"I...I don't know what happened. Grandma suddenly wanted to eat pears today, so I went out to buy some!"
"It was only about twenty minutes in total when I saw my grandma collapse on the ground, and then I followed her to the hospital."
The elderly woman's health had been relatively stable recently, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to go out, but she never expected such a situation to occur.
Strangely, she hadn't closed the room door when she left, which is a rule of the nursing home to help nurses detect any problems with the elderly. But when she returned, the door was closed.
Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly. He was just asking about the situation and naturally wouldn't pursue the matter at this critical juncture.
As they were talking, Xie Huanyu arrived in a hurry. She glanced at the closed operating room, then turned to look at Aunt Xu.
What's Grandma's condition now?
Aunt Xu was still somewhat at a loss. "Well... we don't know either. The nurse just came out and had Mr. Xu sign a critical condition notice."
Is it that serious?
Xie Huanyu's face darkened, and her red lips unconsciously pursed downwards.
She remembered her appointment with the elderly woman, so she finished her work early and went to the nursing home. However, as soon as she arrived, the director told her that her grandmother had been brought to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Seeing Xu Yanshu's distraught state, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. She moved closer to the man, unconsciously clenching her hands at her sides.
It's unclear why this situation suddenly occurred. Xu Yanshu has always cherished his grandmother; if something were to happen to her...
About thirty minutes later, the surgery was finally over, and the doctor in the white coat came in from outside.
Xu Yanshu strode forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my grandmother?"
"His life has been saved for now, but it's uncertain when he will wake up. He may remain in a coma indefinitely, so your family needs to be prepared."
Isn't that... a person in a vegetative state?!
He caught his breath and staggered backward uncontrollably, his face turning ashen.
Fortunately, Xie Huanyu reached out in time and managed to catch him.
"Someone come with me to help the patient with the hospital admission procedures!"
Upon suddenly hearing this news, Xie Huanyu felt a mix of emotions, but at this moment, she had no choice but to temporarily suppress all her feelings.
"Aunt Xu, you stay here with her, I'll go take care of the formalities!"
Seeing Xu Yanshu swaying precariously, Xie Huanyu gave Aunt Xu some instructions before turning around and following the doctor ahead.
How could it be like this?
Thinking of Xu Yanshu, his eyes instantly reddened. He frowned in pain, completely baffled.
He had already thought it through. If his grandmother couldn't accept it, they would reconsider the divorce later, as long as the old lady's health remained stable and healthy.
But I never expected things to turn out like this. Grandma had clearly said she was waiting to hold her great-grandson...
Aunt Xu couldn't help but secretly wipe away her tears. Who would have thought that the perfectly healthy old man would suddenly become a vegetable?
Half an hour later, the old man was transferred to a regular ward, and Xu Yanshu stayed by his bedside without saying a word.
After exchanging details with Aunt Xu, Xie Huanyu turned and walked into the ward. Looking at the man's dejected appearance, she frowned unhappily and said with some disapproval,
“Xu Yanshu, even Aunt Xu thinks it’s strange that Grandma suddenly fainted. Don’t you plan to go back to the nursing home to find out what’s going on?”
Although she could understand Xu Yanshu's feelings, seeing her grandmother suddenly become like this, she was also heartbroken.
But seeing his dejected appearance, she felt a little angry at his lack of determination, and subconsciously felt that Xu Yanshu should not be someone who could be defeated so easily.
If an elderly person in stable health suddenly faints, although it could be an accident, other causes cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out what happened.
this……
His unfocused gaze regained focus, and Xu Yanshu finally came to his senses. He unconsciously pursed his lips.
Yes, Aunt Xu said that Grandma's health had been stable recently, but she suddenly fainted without warning. This may not just be an accident.
Having made up his mind, Xu Yanshu stood up abruptly and strode out of the ward, with Xie Huanyu following closely behind.
nursing home
"Based on routine monitoring, the elderly person's condition has been stable. If external stimuli can be ruled out, this fainting should be considered an accident!"
Xu Yanshu carefully reviewed all the data and found nothing unusual, causing his mood to sink again.
"External stimulation? I've only been with the old lady these past few days; the husband and daughter haven't come over either. There shouldn't be any stimulation, right?" Aunt Xu muttered to herself.
Was she overthinking things? Xie Huanyu frowned in confusion, her expression inevitably becoming somewhat serious.
Just now, Aunt Xu mentioned that Grandma's condition had been stable these past few days. Before she went out to buy fruit, Grandma was even joking with her. She felt that there was something strange about Grandma's sudden fainting.
Upon hearing this, the nurse stopped what she was doing and tentatively said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? I clearly saw someone enter Grandma Xu's ward."
What? All eyes in the room immediately turned to the nurse.
"This is a very important matter," Dr. Wang asked solemnly.
"Are you sure you saw it clearly? If there was a stranger visiting, why didn't you stop them immediately?"
“I saw it clearly,” the nurse said, a little nervous when asked. After thinking for a moment, she nodded firmly and then explained, “It wasn’t a stranger. That person seemed to have visited Grandma before, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
