107: Chapter 107: Two-Day Observation_1 107: Chapter 107: Two-Day Observation_1 Yang Ruxin nodded, giving Li Yi a grateful smile, but said nothing.
However, Yang Peiliâs face had not improved much, as he was not worried about Xun Huiâs condition but whether two taels of silver would be enoughâŠ
âSister-in-law will be fine,â Yang Baixiang also looked at Yang Ruxin.
âI know,â replied Ruxin, nodding.
âI wonât let anything happen to her.â
Yang Baixiang didnât think much about her words, simply smiling and nodding in response.
About two hours later, Doctor Wang finally came out.
âHow is she?â Before Yang Ruxin had a chance to get up and ask, Yang Peili was the first to speak.
âWhat happened here?
Whoever did this was really ruthless,â Doctor Wang sighed.
âA little more off target and it would have been a fatalityâŠ
â
Yang Peiliâs face turned an awkward shade as he struggled to find words to say.
âDoctor Wang, my motherâŠ,â Ruxin hastily approached, âwill she be okay?â
âIâve stopped the bleeding and did acupuncture,â explained Doctor Wang with a face full of sympathy.
âFor the time being, there is no threat to her life, butâŠ
â
âBrother Wang, just speak your mind,â Li Yi interjected.
âThen Iâll speak frankly,â Doctor Wang nodded.
âThough the patient wonât die, whether she will fully recover is another matter.
Sheâs suffered a severe blow to the head, resulting in internal bleeding.
Weâve stopped it for now, but thereâs a big clot pressing against her brain.
If it dissipates, she can wake up and gradually heal with care.
However, if it doesnâtâŠ
â
âWhat will happen if it doesnât?â asked Yang Peili reflexively.
âIf it doesnât, then sheâll just lie there and weâll have to keep medicating herâŠ
â Doctor Wang sighed again, âessentially, sheâll be a living dead personâŠ
â
Unable to hold back, Yang Baixiang exclaimed, âDoctor, she still has so many children to look after; she canât be left like thisâŠâ
Doctor Wang shrugged, âWe can only leave it up to fate.â
âHow much will it cost to keep caring for her?â Yang Peili frowned upon hearing this.
âItâs hard to say,â replied Doctor Wang.
âShe might wake up in a few days, or it might be years, even a lifetimeâŠ
â Doctor Wang glanced at Peili, âYouâll need to prepare at least three to five taels of silver a monthâŠ
â
Yang Peili couldnât help but gasp.
âThank you, Doctor Wang,â expressed Ruxin with a nod, âso what nowâŠ
â
âI suggest we observe her here for two days,â Doctor Wang offered a smile.
âThe first three days are the most criticalâŠ
â
âOkay,â Ruxin agreed, nodding.
âThen, please have a room arranged for us, Doctor Wang.â
Doctor Wang nodded and then instructed a young servant to open up a room in the back courtyard and had Xun Hui moved in.
âFather, you pay and then go back with Uncle Xiaowu,â Ruxin looked at Yang Peili.
âThereâs no need for so many people hereâmore crucially, Uncle Li needs to go back too, make sure you pay Uncle Lao Kuang for the carriageâŠ
â
âIâll stay with you,â Yang Baixiang shook his head.
âI wouldnât feel at ease leaving you alone, a young lady by yourself.â
âYes, we need someone to accompany you, in case thereâs a situation where someone needs to run errands or something,â Li Yi also agreed with Baixiang staying.
âAlright,â Ruxin nodded her head.
Yang Peili, who had been solemn-faced this whole time, didnât speak; seeing that everything was arranged, he turned and walked out.
Following him to the cashier desk outside, the young servant asked for a deposit of two taels of silver, noting that whatever wasnât used would be refunded when the patient left, but any shortage would need to be made up.
