Chapter 8

The hospital in the early morning was packed with patients, who were there for treatment. They came from all over the country because of the hospital’s reputation as number one in Beijing.

It had the best medical facilities, doctors, and most advanced equipment.

When they arrived, the emergency department’s lobby was already packed with people. The environment was tense and chaotic, and the doctors were all busy. The place was filled with the moans of patients, cries for help of family members, and sounds of phone calls.

“Where’s dad?” Su Hanyan turned to ask Su Jingrui when she did not see Su Dajiang around.

“I don’t know. Let’s look around!” Su Jingrui was also anxious. “Could he have gone into the operating room?”

“What’s dad’s illness?”

“No idea. When he got off the train and reached home, he said that he’s not feeling well. He didn’t eat much for breakfast, saying that his stomach’s aching… Afterward, he said that it hurt too much, so we rushed him to the hospital…”

“Didn’t you guys send him to the specialist department? Why are we in the emergency department?”

“Because dad fainted from pain!”

“Okay, got it!”

She was searching in the crowded lobby when she heard someone call them. “Yanyan, Jingrui, over here!”

She turned in the direction of the voice and saw the Su family crowding at a corner.

She ran over in a hurry and saw Su Dajiang lying on a simple gurney. His eyes were shut tightly and his brows were slightly furrowed. The hair on his temples had already turned white, and his face held the traces of a person who had experienced countless hardships in life.

This must be the original owner’s father!

“Dad!” she called softly.

The sickly pale man seemed to have heard her voice as his eyelids fluttered open for a bit. When he saw her, his gaze instantly softened. He then closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

His situation seemed to be very serious. If it was not treated in time, the original storyline would likely happen. Su Dajiang would die in this hospital!

“Have you called for the doctor?” She looked up and asked Wei Guiqin.

“We did. The doctor said that they’ll discuss it with us later. The emergency department is busy right now and they can’t take care of it. I’ll go get a queue number at the specialist department first!” Wei Guiqin looked anxious, too.

However, she could only feel anxious, and there was nothing she could do.

“Third, go and call for the doctor again!” Su Jingheng, the eldest brother, spoke. “You’re bold and not afraid of strangers. Go and find a doctor!”

“Yeah, okay!”

Su Jingrui scratched his head, looking annoyed. “Before I went to fetch Hanyan, haven’t we been calling for the doctor? You guys saw it, too. They don’t have the time to care about us. We can only wait!”

“What can we do, then?” Wei Guiqin was so anxious that she was about to cry.

“I’ll go!” Su Hanyan stood up and fixed her eyes on a doctor who was rushing over. She went up and grabbed him. “Doc, please take a look at my father! He didn’t eat breakfast because his stomach was hurting. He’s currently unconscious from pain! Over there!”

“The patient fell unconscious from pain? Acute appendicitis, right? Hurry to the specialist department and get the prescribed IV drip. This can probably be treated!” said the doctor as he looked outside.

“No, my dad definitely doesn’t have that! Please quickly take a look. If it’s any later, it will cost him his life!” She was sure that if it had been acute appendicitis, he definitely would not have died after being sent to the hospital in such a timely manner.

There was definitely something else.

However, the author did not write about the symptoms in the novel, so she could only guess that it was critical.
