Chapter 564: Chapter 557: Her Hatred (Part 1)
When Bai Yiran rushed to the hospital, her hair was still dripping wet.
She couldnât believe it. Just during the short time she went home to shower, her grandmother had been transferred from the general ward to the ICU, with tubes in her mouth and nose, unable to breathe on her own, relying only on a ventilator for support.
The doctor said that her grandmotherâs brain stem had suffered a massive hemorrhage. Her entire brain was like a spider web, even the tiniest capillaries were blocked by clots. There was almost no chance of her waking up again.
On hearing the doctorâs words, Bai Yiran couldnât accept it, desperately pulling at them to take another look. Clearly, when she left, her grandmother was still alert, still able to express herself. Her grandmother had clearly said she wanted to see Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang!
But her grandmother hadnât even seen the children yet, how could she not wake up!
Bai Yiran was desperately entangled with the doctors, perhaps being the most obstinate she had ever been in her life. But regardless of what others said or how they tried to pull her away, none of it worked. Bai Yiran held onto the doctor tightly, refusing to let go. As if letting go would mean her grandmother was truly beyond saving.
The area outside the intensive care unit was in chaos. At this moment, Bai Yiran seemed like a madwoman. The doctorâs arms and neck even bore the scratches left by her nails.
"Calm down! This is a hospital!" Because they knew she was Leng Yichenâs wife, the doctors were still somewhat courteous, but even so, they were on the verge of losing patience.
Suddenly, a pair of strong arms wrapped around Bai Yiran from behind, forcefully pulling her away from the doctor and into a firm embrace.
"Doctor! Doctor! Please, take another look at my grandmother..."
Unwilling to give up, Bai Yiran reached out her hand, her eyes fixed on the doctor.
"Alright, alright! Donât be like this, donât be like this..." Leng Yichen held Bai Yiranâs head, enveloping her with his body, gently repeating, "Calm down, girl, calm down."
Bai Yiran was held tightly in Leng Yichenâs arms, unable to move. Her hands clung tightly to Leng Yichenâs clothes, "The doctor said, grandmother wonât wake up... She was fine just a moment ago, she was talking to me, she said she wanted to see Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang..."
Bai Yiranâs tears made Leng Yichenâs heart ache. Thinking of the elderly woman lying in the intensive care unit, his eyes too turned red.
He couldnât imagine how devastating it would be for Bai Yiran if her grandmother really left.
Bai Yiran kept struggling to accept the fact that her grandmother could never wake up again. For this reason, Leng Yichen specially invited an expert from this field within the country. After reviewing her grandmotherâs scans and related materials, the expertâs conclusion was consistent with that of the hospitalâs doctors.
In her grandmotherâs current state, there was no longer a need for treatment. Her brain had died, and she was now only surviving on a ventilator. Once the ventilator is removed, she would be gone.
The expertâs conclusion shattered Bai Yiranâs last hope. The expertâs suggestion was that instead of letting the elderly woman continue life unconsciously hooked to the ventilator, it might be better to allow her to pass away and be laid to rest sooner.
After all, the cost of one day in the intensive care unit was not trivial. No matter how wealthy the Leng Family was, there was no point in maintaining the old ladyâs life in this way. Because she could no longer perceive anything.
At this point, Cheng Gang had no clue what to do. The matter had started because of Xia Lian, and he now had no courage to face Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen. In such matters, he had even less authority to speak.
Initially, Bai Yiran disagreed with the expertâs suggestion. But when she saw her grandmother in the ICU, her mouth and nose bleeding from the tube, showing no signs of life apart from passive breathing, her thoughts began to waver. Her grandmother had always been strong. She surely wouldnât want to live like this in pain...
