"It seems to be a heart attack; they are currently undergoing emergency treatment."
Xia Lan glanced at Zhang Qiu and explained to her.
He completely ignored Du Juan's screaming from the side.
"How dare you ignore me?"
Du Juan angrily retorted, "How dare Xia Lan ignore me?"
"Your father is lying in the emergency room, his life hanging in the balance, and you're here arguing with me about who's the family member and who's the outsider?"
"As his daughter, it's one thing that your first words upon arriving don't concern you for your father, but instead you're making a scene here. What do you hope to gain?"
Xia Lan glanced at Du Juan speechlessly; this person was truly beyond saving.
Her own father is in critical condition, and she wants to argue with him at this time?
"Of course I care about my own father; I don't need your pretense here."
Du Juan gritted her teeth and said to Xia Lan.
"If it weren't for you, how could my dad have heart disease? It must be your fault."
Du Juan's words made the nurse next to her roll her eyes.
"Comrade, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Heart disease doesn't happen overnight; it must be because you've made him angry in the past."
The nurse noticed that Du Juan was aggressive from the moment she arrived, without even asking about the elderly man's condition.
On the other hand, Xia Lan, after bringing him here, kept looking at the emergency room with worry.
It's immediately clear who truly cares and who is just pretending.
"..."
After being scolded by the nurse, Du Juan quieted down, her face flushed with anger as she sat down to the side, suppressing her anger and not daring to argue back.
"Alright, Mom, just say less! Grandpa's condition is more important right now!"
Zhang Qiu knew her mother's temper and tried her best to persuade her.
"Why are you helping this little bitch too..."
Du Juan's temper flared up again, and her words caused those around her to frown and glare at her.
"..."
Du Juan, glared at by everyone, dared not continue speaking.
However, Xia Lan's gaze couldn't be hidden.
Xia Lan couldn't be bothered with her.
Outside the emergency room, more and more people gathered. Xia Lan didn't know who they were, but seeing the two older men saluting them, she figured they were no ordinary people.
When Xiao Guoqiang and the others arrived after receiving the news, they saw Xia Lan in the crowd and immediately walked over quickly.
"What happened? Why is Old Du critically ill?"
Xiao Guoqiang looked at Xia Lan and asked worriedly.
“He may have been feeling unwell for a while, but he refused to come to the hospital. I told him last night to come to the hospital for a check-up today, but when I went to pick him up this morning, I found that something was wrong with him.”
Xia Lan said to Xiao Guoqiang.
“Dr. Du has been feeling tightness and discomfort in his chest lately. We have been urging him to go to the hospital, but he refuses to come no matter what we say.”
The two explained to Xiao Guoqiang.
"How could this happen? What's the reason? Is there something we haven't figured out yet, or what?"
Xiao Guoqiang frowned.
"It's more likely they were just angry..."
One of them glanced at Du Juan discreetly and said softly.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Guoqiang pursed his lips, roughly understanding what was going on.
"The lights are off!"
Just then, the lights in the emergency room went out, and the doctor came out.
He paused, stunned, when he saw the crowd in front of the emergency room.
Remembering the patient's instructions, the doctor spoke slowly.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Comrade Xia Lan?"
"I am."
Upon hearing the doctor's call, Xia Lan was immediately cleared by the crowd.
"Old Du is fine now. After being rescued, he has regained consciousness and is doing well."
"The cause of the illness is still unclear, but it is certain that I did not get enough rest during this period, which triggered a series of problems."
"You'll need to rest well to recover. You'll need to stay in bed for a few days for now."
"Old Du hopes that you can come and take care of him."
The doctor said to Xia Lan.
"Okay, I can."
Xia Lan nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute, I am my father's biological daughter. If anyone should be taking care of me, it should be me. Why should I let her take care of me?"
Du Juan's expression changed when she heard what the doctor said.
"This is Mr. Du's intention."
The doctor glanced at Du Juan indifferently. He had already made his point so clear; what else did she have to ask?
"Besides, with your attitude, you're really not suited to taking care of patients."
Looking at Du Juan like this, the doctor really didn't like her.
He was supposed to notify his family, but Du Wenqing's first words after regaining consciousness were to ask him not to notify his family and to entrust his affairs entirely to a comrade named Xia Lan.
He didn't understand why someone else had to take care of him when he already had a daughter.
Upon seeing Du Juan, he immediately understood.
"What's wrong with me? He's my dad!"
Du Juan shouted angrily.
"Comrade Du Juan, since this is Elder Du's wish, then let Comrade Xia Lan take charge! You can go back now..."
Xiao Guoqiang walked over, stood behind Xia Lan, and said calmly to Du Juan.
The same applies to others.
"Comrade Du Juan, you should go back now!"
"We're here."
"..."
Du Juan looked at the indifferent gazes around her and screamed angrily.
"What's wrong with you people? This is my father! I'm his daughter! How could you let a little girl take care of my dad..."
"Have you all been bewitched by this little slut too?"
After Du Juan said this, the room fell silent.
Zhang Qiu looked at Du Juan, speechless at the sight of her mother.
