Chapter 621 Critically Ill
It was late at night when Ye Wanxi and the others arrived at the hospital. Although the Du family didn't quite understand why Uncle Li insisted on coming to see their old man so late, they knew that his visit was well-intentioned and they had no reason to stop him.
Furthermore, their grandfather and Uncle Li are indeed very close. Just a couple of days ago, he was talking about going to Uncle Li's house to look for someone. If it really is as the doctor said not long ago, the two of them should take this opportunity to see each other one last time...
Mr. Li and the others were unaware of the Du family's intentions. When they arrived at the hospital, it was the Du family's youngest son who personally ran to the entrance to greet them.
Like the Li family, the Du family also has two children, a son and a daughter. The one who answered the phone earlier was the eldest son, Du Sining, while the one who answered the phone now is the second son, Du Siyuan.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, and Juexing, Weiming, you're all here." Du Siyuan looked at the family, all together, with some surprise.
Then they spotted a woman in the crowd, carrying a rabbit and fully masked: "???"
"And this is...?"
"This is Miss Ye." Mr. Li didn't immediately explain Ye Wanxi's identity to her; he simply mentioned it briefly before steer the conversation towards his old friend.
"How is your dad? Why was he suddenly hospitalized? Is it serious?"
Mentioning his father, Du Siyuan temporarily composed himself, turning his gaze away from Ye Wanxi, and said with a solemn expression, "The doctor said the situation is not very optimistic."
The Li family members were taken aback. Although they had been mentally prepared before coming, they still felt anxious and fearful when they were confirmed.
"Your dad is usually very healthy, how could he suddenly fall ill? Did something happen?"
Du Siyuan sighed and said, "About ten days ago, my dad suddenly started catching colds frequently. At first, no one paid much attention to it, just thinking it was the flu caused by the change in weather. We asked the housekeeper to make sure he took his medicine three times a day. Unexpectedly, he was sick on and off for several days. My older sister and I felt something was wrong, so we took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They couldn't find anything wrong, just a common cold."
As Du Siyuan spoke, a hint of self-reproach and regret flashed across his eyes.
Just as Mr. Li said, among all his old friends, Old Man Du was the healthiest. He was always running around in a whirlwind, and he rarely even sneezed, let alone got sick.
The Du siblings took him to the hospital for a checkup, but the old man threw a tantrum. When the test results came back negative, the two siblings assumed they were just overthinking things, but little did they know…
“A few days ago, my dad was talking about visiting you, but he wasn't fully recovered, and there was the recent pandemic, so he didn't dare to bother you. Two days ago, Uncle Zhang from next door came over and had tea with my dad for a while. Not long after Uncle Zhang left, my dad said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to go upstairs to rest, but before he even got upstairs…”
Du Siyuan's eyes reddened slightly: "He just fainted."
Upon hearing the words "tea," the Li family members' hearts skipped a beat, and they instinctively turned to look at Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly, but she said nothing and followed Du Siyuan further inside.
Uncle Du's condition is not optimistic; he was just transferred to a private intensive care unit this afternoon.
When Ye Wanxi and the others arrived, Du Siyuan's sister and brother-in-law were standing at the door of the ward, not inside.
Du Siyuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward: "Sister, what's wrong? Did Dad...?"
Du Sining's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't speak. Du Siyuan's brother-in-law patted her shoulder reassuringly and sighed, "Dad suddenly had a seizure, which startled us all. The doctors are inside trying to save him, but judging from their expressions, his condition may not be good."
The situation is bad? How bad could the situation be? Of course, the condition has worsened.
Enraged, Du Siyuan punched the wall next to the ward, while Du Sining couldn't stop crying.
Du Siyuan's brother-in-law also had a good relationship with his father-in-law, and he was also feeling very upset. However, he was more reserved and knew that someone had to stay calm so that things could be arranged better and there would be no trouble.
Therefore, he became the first person to discover Ye Wanxi and her group.
"Uncle Li, Auntie, what brings you both here?"
Upon hearing this, Du Sining noticed the Li family members. She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile, saying, "Uncle Li, you've come. My dad would be so happy if he knew you were here to see him."
After Du Sining finished speaking, tears started falling again.
As one of the few women present and an elder, Madam Li quickly stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Good child, don't worry, your father is a lucky man, he will definitely be alright."
"……Um."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the urgent screeching of the medical equipment filled the ward.
The expressions of the people outside the door changed drastically, and the Du family members rushed to the glass window at the door.
"The patient's heart rate dropped rapidly, and he had difficulty breathing."
"The patient's lips are turning purple and he is sweating more frequently. The initial diagnosis is a myocardial infarction. Emergency treatment should be initiated as soon as possible."
"Contact Dr. Hu in cardiac surgery and have him prepare for surgery as soon as possible, quickly, quickly..."
Hearing the increasingly urgent shouts from inside the door, Du Sining and the others blocked the entrance, eager to rush in.
Unfortunately, the door was already locked from the inside, and they couldn't open it at all, so they could only stare helplessly from the outside.
Just then, a shout suddenly came from behind them.
"Get out of the way."
Du Sining and the others were slightly taken aback. They subconsciously turned their heads to look and realized that the one who spoke was the unfamiliar woman who had come with the Li family.
"you……"
Before they could ask any more questions, they felt an invisible and powerful force push them aside from the door.
The next second, the tightly locked door suddenly burst open with a bang, and Ye Wanxi, under the astonished gazes of the Du family, quickly walked inside.
It wasn't until she entered the house that the Du family members realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to pull her away, but Li Juexing and the others stopped them first.
There's no point in hiding it now.
Li Juexing and the others quickly recounted the whole story, leaving the Du family completely bewildered.
"Uncle Li, you're not joking, are you? How could my dad possibly..."
Du Sining stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief as she watched what was happening in the ward.
As soon as Ye Wanxi entered the ward, the doctors and nurses who were rushing to give Mr. Du emergency treatment noticed her.
A nurse immediately sternly urged them out, "Why are you in here? We're giving a patient emergency treatment, you should all get out now."
Ye Wanxi did not leave. She stared intently at the yin energy spreading from Mr. Du's arm to his heart. Her expression darkened slightly. She tossed the little rabbit onto her shoulder, crossed her hands, and quickly formed several complex hand seals, striking the yin energy.
