“Doctor, is my mother alright? What’s the result of the surgery?”
When she saw a few doctors in white gowns leaving the operating room, she went up to them and asked anxiously.
“This family member here, please calm down.”
One of the doctors removed his mask and pacified the agitated Pei Ge.
“Doctor, I’m not agitated; I’m not agitated. How is my mother?”
She pursed her lips tightly and stared at the doctor talking to her.
“Your mother’s condition... isn’t very optimistic.” From the moment the doctor said this, her heart was in her mouth.
“B-But I saw the operating room’s light turn green? Doesn’t the green light mean that the surgery is a success?”
The doctor let out a sigh at her question. After composing the words inwardly, the doctor explained Zhang Manhua’s condition to her.
“Yes, your mother’s surgery is successful, but due to many blood clots in her brain, with some even pressing down on her nerves, her—”
“Doctor, just tell me the outcome! How is my mother right now? Can she be cured?”
She looked anxiously at the doctor, not quite understanding the latter’s complex explanation. Right now, she only wanted to know if there was hope or to get an outcome telling her that her mother was stable and on her way to recovery.
“Although we cleaned some of the blood clots in your mother’s brain, there are some that we can’t do anything about, so whether your mother wakes up or not depends on heavens’ will.”
After the doctor finished saying that, she sagged on the floor powerlessly.
“Aye! This family member here!”
“Miss Pei!”
Seeing her sit on the floor dazedly, the few doctors and nurses, who had left the operating room, eyed her with sympathy.
“Are you all right?”
The nurse reached out her hand and helped her up.
“I-I’m f-fine...” Immediately after she stuttered this, she broke down and cried while muttering, “Wu... wu... How can I be fine?! My mother is my only family left... I only have her...”
Seeing her cry like this, a few emotional nurses found their eyes moistening as well.
“This family member here, please don’t worry; please don’t worry. Although your mom’s condition is dire, there’s still a chance of recovery...”
The doctor’s words quickly caused her to stop crying.
Though she stopped crying, her eyes still had tears.
“Chance of recovery? Are you saying that there’s a way for my mother to regain consciousness?”
Looking at her pitiful appearance, the doctor nodded slightly. “The chance may be slim, but yes, there’s a possibility for recovery.
“Also, since when did I mention that your mother will die?”
The doctor’s words instantly gave her a glimmer of hope.
“Doctor, does that mean that my mother won’t die, b-but you just said that she won’t wake up?” She sobbed.
“When I said that your mother won’t wake up, I meant that she’s currently in comatose. Even though we did our best during the operation, we’re still powerless about that.”
“In coma...” she mumbled, not really expecting her mother to be in comatose one day.
“T-Then, what is this about her having a chance of recovery...”
She pulled herself together and asked the doctor.
“The medical equipment abroad is much better than ours here. If you are financially capable, I suggest that you bring her overseas for treatment, but...”
At the doctor’s hesitation, she quickly prompted, “But what?”
“...But given your mother’s condition, I’m unsure if she can handle flying overseas...”
The doctor then proceeded to pat her shoulder consolingly before he walked off, leaving her dazedly standing there in the corridor.
There was a chance of recovery if her mother went overseas, but taking the place would cause complications to the brain...
However, if she did not go overseas, her mother would not receive the best treatment. It was possible for her to never wake up and just continue sleeping.
She was currently very lost. Even though she might be strong mentally, she still could not handle her mother’s situation.
With one thing after another... First, she learned that her father died by her second uncle’s hands, and second, her mother had an accident.
This series of horrible events and emotional rollercoasters... drained her to the point of fainting.
“Ah, Miss Pei!”
“This family member here...”
...
Dark...
So dark...
“Pei Ge...
“Pei Ge...”
She seemed to hear someone calling her name but did not want to wake up...
Only when I’m asleep will I not need to face all the bad things...
Dad wouldn’t be dead and mom wouldn’t be in such a condition...
Ah! Mom got into an accident!
Mom is still waiting for me to save her!
The thought of her mother caused her eyes to open abruptly.
“You’re finally awake!”
With bleary eyes, she saw the tall silhouette of a man.
“Ziming!”
Having just woken up, she mistook the man at first the moment she agitatedly lifted her head.
In the end, she saw a familiar yet distant face.
“It’s been awhile.” The man smiled gently at her.
“...Chen Zhengchu?”
Staring at the man’s clean brows for quite some time, she finally recalled who he was.
“Ha ha! I really didn’t expect you to remember me.”
This man was once her blind-date partner and whom she almost ended up marrying.
“Yes... You’re working at this hospital, huh. To think we’d meet under such a situation.”
She curled her lips into a bitter smile.
“I feel the same way. After a long time, I didn’t expect our next meeting to be at a hospital.” He nodded with emotion and smiled wryly.
“Where is my mother right now?”
Seeing the smile on the man’s face, she sat up on the bed and wore her shoes. She wanted to go look for Zhang Manhua.
