"Which hospital is it? What did the doctor say? I'm going there now."
Seeing Su Tiantian's anxious expression, Liu Jingze asked, "What happened?"
Su Tiantian's tone was a little hurried: "Zhihao said Daddy needs surgery." Liu Jingze took Su Tiantian's phone and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her: "Zhihao, I'm your brother-in-law. Which hospital and department are you in?"
"What's the doctor's name and when is the surgery scheduled?"
"Don't worry, I'll make a phone call. I know someone there. Your sister and I will be rushing to the hospital right now. We'll be there in about half an hour."
Liu Jingze handed the phone to Tian Tian and said, "Everyone, my family is sick, so I have to leave first. Brother Bo, please help me settle the bill first."
Xiao Boyang quickly said, "You go ahead and do your work."
Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze walked quickly toward the elevator. Liu Jingze said to Su Tiantian, "I've been drinking and can't drive. Call Ayang to pick us up. Ask him when he'll arrive. If he's far away, have him arrange for someone else to come. I estimate someone should be here within 10 minutes." Then he called someone at the hospital: "Uncle Zhang, this is Jingze. Where are you?"
"Well, my father-in-law is in the hospital..."
25 minutes later, Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze arrived at the town hospital. Su Zhihao had completed the admission procedures. At this time, Su Tiantian was glad that she was wearing flat shoes and could walk fast, and Liu Jingze could also walk fast because of his long feet.
Yun Suiyang happened to be still in the hotel at the time and immediately drove the two to the hospital. Su Jinyuan had started having stomach pain at noon and thought it was gastroenteritis. He took medicine and the pain persisted, so after Su Zhihao got off work, they decided to go to the hospital. An emergency doctor diagnosed it as acute appendicitis and recommended surgery. Liu Jingze contacted Uncle Zhang, the vice president of the hospital. He lived close to the hospital and had arrived earlier than Su Tiantian and the others. He was currently in Su Jinyuan's ward.
Su Tiantian saw Su Jinyuan lying on the hospital bed with a look of pain on his face. Su Zhihao, who was standing beside the bed, hurried forward to inquire about Su Jinyuan's condition. Liu Jingze spoke to two doctors in white coats, "Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you again tonight. How is my father-in-law doing?"
Uncle Zhang, the deputy director, looked elegant and easygoing. "Jingze, Mr. Su has acute appendicitis. The treatment of acute appendicitis can be roughly divided into two types: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. In his case, surgical treatment is recommended. The emergency doctor and the general surgery doctor have seen the patient."
Liu Jingze looked anxious: "Is the surgery risky? Would it be better to transfer to a hospital in the city?"
Vice President Zhang said, "Any surgery carries certain risks. Appendicitis is a minimally invasive procedure, and our hospital is very experienced in this area. The person next to me is Director Xiao, who is the best at this type of surgery in the hospital."
Su Tiantian had already walked to Liu Jingze's side, and Liu Jingze said, "Hello, Director Xiao."
Director Xiao said, "In this patient's case, it's recommended that he undergo surgery immediately. If he goes to a hospital downtown, even without traffic, it would take an hour, plus additional examinations, etc. This time is more than enough to complete the surgery in our hospital."
Liu Jingze looked at Su Tiantian, who said, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask my father for his opinion." It was a little after eight o'clock in the evening in the ward, and it was a little quiet. Su Jinyuan had heard their conversation just now and said, "Let's do the surgery here. There's no need to go to the hospital downtown."
Liu Jingze said, "Then please trouble Uncle Zhang and Director Xiao to arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
Vice President Zhang said, "We will be able to go into the operating room soon. Jingze, I will ask the nurse to transfer Mr. Su to a VIP ward so he can have a good rest after the operation."
Liu Jingze said, "Thank you."
Outside the operating room, Li Yunling also arrived.
Su Zhihao held Li Yunling's hand and said, "It's so late, you're coming here on a motorcycle, aren't you scared?"
Li Yunling was probably in a hurry and was a little breathless when she spoke: "It's not that late, it's only 9 o'clock. I wanted to drive my motorcycle here by myself, but my brother was worried, so he drove me to the hospital. He has already gone home because he has to take his girlfriend home."
Su Tiantian said, "Yunfeng has a girlfriend? Sorry, Yunfeng, it seems that Aling and I need to get our driver's licenses as soon as possible. Zhihao, have you informed Mom about Dad's surgery?"
Su Zhihao said, "No one has been notified yet. The first call was to you. However, I arrived at the hospital at around 6 o'clock, and now it's 9 o'clock in the evening and I haven't returned yet. I guess she will call to ask. She may wonder if we are on IV drip."
Li Yunling said: "Auntie will definitely come if she knows, and we can't hide it from her."
Su Tiantian looked at the light on the operating room door and said helplessly, "Mom can't even ride a bike. Before, Dad or we would pick her up when she went out. During the day, we could even go to the village entrance to take a taxi. How can she get here at this time?"
Liu Jingze said calmly: "I'll send someone to pick up my mother-in-law. It's better for everyone to wait here than for her to worry alone at home."
Su Zhihao said, "No need. I just sent a message to my second cousin. He's going to pick up Mom. He lives close to my house and he said he'll be there right away."
"Ma Yiqian? That's fine. Let's sit on the chair over there and wait. The operation will be completed in about an hour." Liu Jingze said.
The four of them sat down on the bench opposite the operating room door. The temperature at the operating room door was very low. Liu Jingze took off his suit jacket and put it on Su Tiantian. Li Yunling took a coat when she went out and was not afraid of the cold. Now the two men were suffering from the cold.
Seeing Su Tiantian's distressed look, Liu Jingze hugged Su Tiantian tightly and said, "Don't worry, someone will bring clothes over soon."
Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Yun Suiyang brought over two men's windbreakers and a blanket that they could both cover themselves with. Liu Jingze and Su Zhihao quickly put on their coats.
Yun Suiyang said, "Mr. Liu, are you hungry? How about I go get some midnight snacks?"
Liu Jingze said, "What would you three like to eat?"
Su Tiantian said, "I have no appetite." Su Zhihao and Li Yunling also shook their heads.
Liu Jingze said, "It seems that you will have to wait until your father-in-law comes out of the operating room before you can have an appetite. My house is 10 minutes away from the hospital, and so is yours. I guess your mother-in-law will be here soon."
Su Zhihao said: "I guess so."
Liu Jingze said, "Ayang, go back and rest first. I'll call you if there's anything."
Yun Suiyang shook his head: "I'm waiting for Mr. Liu in the car. Ah Zhi is also in the car. Mr. Liu, please call me if you have anything."
Su Tiantian looked at Yun Suiyang's departing back and said with emotion: "Brother Jing, you are a very reliable secretary. You are more caring than Guo Qi'an."
