Upon receiving this bad news, He Yuhan didn't waste a moment. She immediately handed her home over to her adoptive parents and returned to the city with Han Yi.
As soon as they set off, He Yuhan anxiously asked Han Yixian, "What disease does my dad have? Didn't he have any warning signs at all?"
Han Yixian replied with a heavy heart, "My father-in-law initially just had a cold, but he didn't pay much attention and insisted on going to work. Later, it got worse and worse, with fever and cough. The medicine didn't work and it just wouldn't get better. When we went to the hospital, the doctor said it was pneumonia, so he got injections and took medicine. He got better for a while, but then the fever started again."
My father-in-law caught a cold and, fearing he would infect the children at home, stayed in ** and rarely came home. My mother-in-law didn't know much about his condition. Later, my father-in-law kept coughing, had a low-grade fever, and even coughed up some blood. My mother-in-law became very worried and took him to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said it was tuberculosis, and that it was already quite serious.
Previously, the hospital used penicillin to treat my father-in-law's inflammation, but the effect wasn't very good.
He Yuhan felt very guilty; as a doctor, she had allowed her father to contract such a serious illness. Tuberculosis is now considered almost incurable; it is a very serious disease.
She showed too little care for her parents. If she had visited them more often, her father's illness wouldn't have progressed to this point.
With red eyes, He Yuhan said, "If I had known my dad was sick earlier and treated him before it developed into lung disease, things wouldn't be like this now."
Han Yixian said, "Some of the people who worked with my father-in-law before also had tuberculosis, and we all suspect that they infected my father-in-law. The most important thing now is to cure my father-in-law's illness."
He Yuhan said, "The best anti-inflammatory drug used in hospitals right now is penicillin. But it's completely ineffective against tuberculosis; you need to use streptomycin."
Han Yixian said, "I've heard doctors at the hospital mention this medicine, but it was only recently invented abroad, and it's very rare in China, at least not in hospitals in City C. I've also called a few friends and visited several major hospitals, but none of them had it."
The main problem is that this medicine is extremely scarce in China, while there are so many people with tuberculosis that there simply isn't enough. Don't worry, I'll try to find this medicine for my father-in-law. If all else fails, I'll try to find it from abroad.”
He Yuhan sniffed and said, "You absolutely mustn't do anything reckless. Don't contact any foreign countries. What if something goes wrong? Are you afraid that others won't be able to find something on you?"
"You don't need to look for the medicine; I have it here. If my dad really does have tuberculosis, it's completely curable."
Han Yixian looked at He Yuhan in surprise. Why would He Yuhan have such a rare item? Even major hospitals rarely have this kind of medicine.
However, Han Yixian did not press He Yuhan about why she had such a rare drug, as he did not want to put her in a difficult position.
Han Yi drove very fast, and the two of them soon arrived in the city and went straight to the hospital.
After finding out her father's ward, He Yuhan got out of the car and ran into the hospital. When she entered her father's ward, she saw that her eldest brother, second brother, Gu Qishen, and Huo Xicheng were all there.
Without even greeting them, He Yuhan rushed to the bedside and looked at her father, who lay on the bed looking haggard with red eyes, asking, "Dad, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
He Chenglin was very happy to see his youngest daughter return and replied, "It's alright. Just follow the doctor's instructions, take your medicine on time, and cooperate with the treatment, and you'll be fine soon. Don't worry."
He Yuhan turned to He Zhenhua and asked, "Big brother, where's Mom?"
He Zhenhua replied, "It's not good for the children to come to the hospital. Mom will stay home and look after the two children. Dad, we'll be here with you, so don't worry."
He Yuhan sat by the hospital bed, took her father's pulse, and looked at his test results from the hospital. It was indeed tuberculosis.
He Yuhan immediately said, "Dad, staying in the hospital won't help. The hospital doesn't have any medicine to cure this disease. You should be discharged and come back to Laohewan Village with me. I will treat your disease and guarantee that you will be cured in two months."
He Zhenhua, who was listening nearby, grabbed He Yuhan's arm and said urgently, "Little sister, are you telling the truth? Can you cure this disease?"
Everyone else watched He Yuhan nervously.
He Yuhan nodded and said, "It can be cured. Would I joke about Dad's health? I have a special medicine for tuberculosis that I guarantee will cure Dad's illness in the shortest time. But I have very little medicine, so you must not tell anyone."
Everyone in the ward was overjoyed to hear He Yuhan's words. They all trusted He Yuhan's medical skills; if she said she could cure him, then there was definitely no problem.
He Chenglin had great faith in his daughter's medical skills, so since she had said so, he would listen to her. "Yuhan, Dad will listen to you. I'll have your older brother go and get my discharge papers done. I'll go to Laohewan Village with you tomorrow."
He Zhenhua said, "Then I'll go and complete the discharge procedures now."
Although the hospital did not want He Chenglin to be discharged, He's family strongly insisted on his discharge, and even He Chenglin himself requested to be discharged, saying that he wanted to go to another major hospital for treatment.
The hospital doctors assumed that He Chenglin's family wanted to go to a better hospital for treatment, so they discharged him from the hospital.
And so, the group took He Chenglin home after he was discharged from the hospital.
Yu Huiru was surprised to see her husband discharged from the hospital and asked, "Why are you being discharged?"
He Chenglin said, "The hospital can't cure my illness now, so what am I doing staying here? Tomorrow we'll go to Laohewan Village with Yuhan. I'll leave my illness to Yuhan."
When Yu Huiru saw her daughter return, she said with tears in her eyes, "Yuhan, your father has this disease, it scared me to death. I heard that the hospital can't cure this disease at all."
He Yuhan hugged her mother and comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? The hospital can't cure Dad's illness, but I can. I guarantee you'll have a healthy husband back in two months."
Yu Huiru grabbed He Yuhan's hand and asked, "Really? You can really cure your father's illness? You're not just kidding me?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Really, I promise you. Let's pack up today, and tomorrow you and Dad will come with me to Laohewan Village. I promise I'll cure Dad's illness in less than two months. I'll also make sure his health is excellent. You and Dad will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
He Yuhan suggested that her father go back to Laohewan Village with her for treatment because she wanted to use the best medicine for him without anyone knowing, and it would be easier to do so at home. Going to the hospital would inevitably lead to discovery.
Secondly, she needed to help her father recover properly, as things were more convenient in the hospital and at home in the compound than in Laohewan Village.
In Laohewan Village, her home was relatively far from other people's homes, except for the Liang family and her adoptive parents' homes. In the dead of winter, when everyone hibernated, it was convenient to have something to eat at home.
