Hospital
Han Song-yeon was taken to the emergency room.
Family members waited outside the door.
Bai Kangyan stood straight at the entrance of the emergency room, anxiously awaiting the results.
Bai Luoyu, Bai Qianmo, and Bai Xiruo stood to the side.
Then, Elder Bai, Bai Kangcheng, Xu Hualan, Bai Yitang, and Zhou Mei also arrived.
Old Bai asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Bai Qianmo walked over to Elder Bai and helped him sit down on a chair.
"They are still trying to save him."
Old Bai looked solemnly at his son's retreating figure and let out a long sigh.
Xu Hualan and Bai Kangcheng went to Bai Kangyan's side and offered a few words of comfort, but Bai Kangyan remained silent.
Bai Xiruo looked at Elder Bai and cautiously stepped forward.
"grandfather."
"Are you calling me?" Old Bai looked at Bai Xiruo with a mocking expression.
Bai Xiruo gripped her skirt tightly with her hands hanging by her sides, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.
"Whether you acknowledge me or not, in my heart you are the grandfather who watched me grow up."
Old Bai scoffed lightly, his expression indifferent: "I can't accept that."
Bai Xiruo stood there blankly, her eyes slightly lowered, a flash of resentment crossing her gaze.
Just as Bai Xiruo was feeling extremely embarrassed, Bai Qianmo's gaze inadvertently swept over Bai Xiruo's hands.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he narrowed them a little.

Four hours later
After more than four hours of emergency treatment by doctors, the door to the emergency room was finally opened from the inside.
Bai Kangyan rushed over anxiously.
"Dr. Liao, how is my wife?"
Dr. Liao is Bai Kangyan's old classmate, and the two have always had a good relationship in private.
If it weren't for a surgery today, Dr. Liao would also be attending the Bai family's daughter's birthday banquet.
After removing his mask and disposable gloves, Dr. Liao sighed helplessly: "Old Bai, you need to be fully prepared. Your wife's condition is not optimistic. She is currently in a deep coma. If she doesn't wake up within three days, she may become a vegetable."
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Kangyan felt as if his heart had been torn apart. His only hope plummeted to the bottom in an instant, and he looked utterly incredulous.
"How could this be... how could this be? How could he have become a vegetable?"
This result was a devastating blow to Bai Kangyan, who was unable to accept reality for a time.
Bai Kangcheng walked to Bai Kangyan's side and comforted him: "Don't think about the worst. Dr. Liao means there are still three days of observation period. Song Yan can't bear to leave you and the children. She will definitely try her best to wake up."
Dr. Liao added, "Many patients wake up during the three-day observation period. Even those who become vegetative have been awakened by the loving care and calls of their families. Anything is possible."
Upon hearing that Han Songyan would have a three-day observation period, Bai Xiruo frowned slightly.
Bai Qianmo took in her expression.
After arranging for Han Songyan to be admitted to the hospital, the group went to Han Songyan's private ward.
Bai Luoyu and Dr. Liao went to see a neurosurgeon.
Bai Kangyan sat by his wife's bedside, his tall and imposing figure seeming to have aged considerably in an instant.
It's already very late.
Zhou Mei also had to handle the work that Han Songyan had recently been involved in, cancel all of Han Songyan's recent activities, and deal with various "conspiracy theory" news events online.
So after Han Songyan was admitted to the hospital, she left in a hurry.
"Grandpa, it's already 11 p.m. You and your uncle and aunt should go home first."
"No rush, I can handle it!" Old Bai sat on the sofa, not moving for a long time.
Xu Hualan had just run out to buy some daily necessities for Han Songyan.
Bai Kangcheng kept making overseas calls, trying to contact relevant experts abroad regarding vegetative state patients.
Bai Xiruo sat quietly beside Bai Kangyan without saying a word, seemingly trying to minimize her presence.
She glanced at Han Songyan on the bed from time to time, occasionally revealing a complicated expression in her eyes.
Bai Kangyan, who was closest to her, did not notice her expression.
Meanwhile, Bai Qianmo, who was sitting in front of the sofa, was secretly observing Bai Xiruo's every move.
“Dad, you’re getting old, don’t linger here. Luo Yu and I are fine.” Bai Kangyan finally spoke.
Seeing that his son had spoken, Old Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll come over tomorrow."
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you should go back with Dad. Qianmo and Xiruo, you should go back too. Luoyu and I will stay here tonight to keep watch."
Bai Xiruo hurriedly said, "Dad, let me stay and take care of Mom. I'm a girl, so I need to be more careful when taking care of patients."
"No need, you should go back. Your brother and I are enough here. There's no place for too many people to rest." Bai Kangyan refused outright.
Seeing that Bai Kangyan's attitude was very firm, she couldn't show that she wanted to stay in the hospital too much. She glanced at Han Songyan on the bed and nodded with a complicated expression.
"Then I'll come to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning."
Bai Kangyan nodded and remained silent.
Bai Qianmo said coldly, "I'll stay tonight, Grandpa. I'll see you downstairs."
Deep down, Bai Kangyan was a little afraid of Bai Qianmo, so when Bai Qianmo said she wanted to stay, he didn't say much.
But in Bai Xiruo's eyes, Bai Kangyan was clearly favoring his own daughter, and she felt a surge of resentment.
Bai Qianmo saw Bai Lao and her uncle's family out of the hospital. After watching them get into the car, she stood by the roadside for a while, then hurriedly took out her phone and made a call.
This way
After Bai Lao left, Bai Xiruo, with red eyes, crawled to Han Songyan's bedside and sobbed.
"Mom, it's me, Xi Ruo. Can you hear me? You promised to be there for me to hone my acting skills, to make movies together, and to win awards together. You can't break your promise, so you have to wake up."
Bai Kangyan looked at Bai Xiruo, who was heartbroken and in tears, and said, "Let her rest. You should go back early too."
Her tone was clearly cold and distant as Bai Xiruo wiped away the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand: "Dad, even about what happened at Fansheng today, do you also think that I deliberately framed and slandered Qianmo?"
"I don't want to discuss this right now." Bai Kangyan's gaze never left Han Songyan.
"I just hope your mother gets better soon."
Bai Xiruo sobbed, "I also hope that my mother can wake up as soon as possible, but some people probably don't think so."
