He helped Lin's mother to the side, called two nurses, and took Lin's mother into the ward as well.
"She fainted due to a sudden spike in blood pressure caused by the shock; she'll be fine after lying down for a while," the nurse said after examining Lin's mother.
Lin Zhibai missed his father, but he couldn't abandon his mother, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait quietly.
Finally, Lin's mother gradually woke up.
“Son,” Lin’s mother saw Lin Zhibai clearly and was immediately overcome with grief, “How could your father suddenly… What should we do if something happens to him?”
“Mom, Dad will be fine,” Lin Zhibai comforted his mother. “You should take care of yourself first, otherwise I won’t be able to take care of both of you.”
Lin's mother felt sorry for her son, so she forced herself to cheer up and said, "Go and take care of your father. Just let the nanny stay with me."
As Lin Zhibai left, his mother couldn't help but add, "Son, no matter what your father's situation is, don't hide it from me..."
Lin Zhibai felt a pang of sadness in his mother's swollen, red eyes.
He arrived at the doctor's office door, but surprisingly lacked the courage to go in.
"Young Master Lin!" Lin's father's assistant rushed over, his face full of anxiety. "Young Master Lin, something terrible has happened! The doctor just said that Mr. Lin's condition is very dangerous and he needs you to come over immediately."
It turned out that the attending physician was not in the office.
Lin Zhibai followed his assistant to the conference room, where several doctors were reviewing Lin's father's test results and discussing the next steps in the treatment plan.
The attending physician, surnamed Zhu, was also Lin's father's private doctor. Upon seeing Lin Zhibai arrive, he immediately said with a grave expression, "Young Master Lin, President Lin's illness came on suddenly and severely. We've already had to resuscitate him once!"
Lin Zhibai's lips trembled slightly. He steadied himself and asked, "Dr. Zhu, what should be the next step in the treatment?"
"Given the location and extent of the brain hemorrhage in Mr. Lin, surgery is necessary immediately. Otherwise, the situation will be even more unpredictable if he has another episode," Dr. Zhu replied.
Lin Zhibai, however, noticed something amiss from his troubled expression: "Isn't the surgery very risky?"
Dr. Zhu nodded and handed him a document: "This is the surgical risk disclosure form..."
Lin Zhibai pushed the documents aside and looked directly at Dr. Zhu: "I'll sign the procedural documents. I just need you to tell me the truth: how risky is the surgery?"
Dr. Zhu dared not hide the truth: "There's only a 50% success rate."
"Moreover, there is no guarantee that Mr. Lin will recover to his original state after the surgery."
Lin Zhibai felt as if a thunderclap had struck his mind.
His eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
This morning, Dad ran into him in the living room and smiled, nodding, "Son, you're another year older. Want something? How about you use Dad's card to buy a sports car?"
Just over ten hours later, Dad was lying in a hospital bed, facing the possibility of leaving him forever.
He felt panicked, helpless, and had difficulty breathing... He never imagined such a moment would come.
"Would conservative treatment be feasible?" he heard his own voice ask.
"Mr. Lin's condition does not meet the criteria for conservative treatment," Dr. Zhu stated firmly.
Lin Zhibai understood.
In fact, Dr. Zhu understands the consequences of a failed surgery better than anyone else.
If Mr. Lin were to die on his operating table, it would have a serious impact on his career.
But he had to stand on the operating table, even if there was only a 10% chance, he had to save President Lin.
He and General Manager Lin are not only doctor and patient, but also old friends of many years.
“Young Master Lin,” he said, softening his tone, “I will gather all the top clinical experts in neurology in the city, from medical assistants to nurses.”
Lin Zhibai said nothing more, looking at him firmly: "Uncle Zhu, I'm entrusting my father to you."
Lin's father was wheeled into the operating room.
Lin Zhibai stood blankly outside the door until his assistant came to call him: "Young Master Lin, the company's board of directors are all here, waiting for you in an empty ward on the third floor. They say they have important matters to discuss."
"Oh." Lin Zhibai moved his feet and realized that his legs had gone numb from standing.
He met with the company's directors, but was unable to speak, so he had his assistant explain his father's condition.
The board members were shocked and very worried, and they all talked at once.
Lin Zhibai's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Young Master Lin," he heard a director say, "the news of President Lin's serious illness must be cut off here and not spread any further!"
"President Lin is the core of the Lin Group. If this news gets out, it will severely impact the Lin Group's stock price!"
"Especially for the several major projects we are currently planning in cooperation with foreign countries, this is a crucial moment for signing them!"
"Young Master Lin, did you understand?"
He understood. In short, the message was that the news of his father's serious illness could not be revealed to others for the time being.
He nodded. He didn't care about that; he just hoped his father could survive.
There are only two days left before Gu Fanyan departs for overseas.
She and her team members entered the stage of reviewing the preliminary work.
Once we get there, we need to start working immediately and avoid making any mistakes.
“The Lin family was acting strange today,” a team member who had just returned from Lin’s said casually. “Everyone from the director to the supervisors was very free. I thought I would have to wait a while, but I got all the necessary documents in less than an hour.”
The other team members were also surprised, because it's usually quite a hassle to make a trip to Lin's.
"I heard that Young Master Lin is also going to Australia to work on the same project as our young lady. The directors and supervisors are so free, they must be helping him prepare."
"That makes sense. I'm so envious of Miss! She's beautiful, rich, and the man she found is handsome, wealthy, and younger than her, hehe!"
"We can't understand the happiness of rich women!"
"Ahem!" Gu Fanyan walked in.
The group members quickly sat up straight and pretended to be busy.
"The company is organizing a party tonight to send us off. If you have time, please come over," Gu Fanyan said.
"Yay!" The office erupted in cheers.
Gu Fanyan turned and left, a slight smile on her lips.
Only after she had walked away did the team members dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you hear what we just said, Miss?"
"It's alright even if you heard it, Miss isn't angry."
"Have you two made up, Miss?"
"That's for sure, I just saw a smile on Miss's face!"
The evening party took place in a large bar.
Gu Fanyan had her assistant reserve half of the hall's booths, and all drinks were charged to the company's account.
Coincidentally, not long after, people also arrived at the booths on the other side of the hall.
Those who came were all from the Lin family.
Moreover, he was also a member of the group that went to Australia with Lin Shao.
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback, and her gaze unconsciously swept over the area.
However, that familiar figure was not seen.
One of the Gu family members sat down among the Lin family members, drank and chatted, and asked, "Why isn't Young Master Lin here?"
The Lin family members shook their heads: "We don't know, we haven't seen Young Master Lin all day."
The Gu family members were puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. He didn't come to today's gathering. That's not like Young Master Lin."
"Has something happened?"
