Chapter 260: Need Hospitalization

He honked the horn long and hard, started the car slowly, and forced his way out from among the group of reporters.

At the moment, nothing was more important than going to the hospital.

Si Rong looked at those people in the rearview mirror, feeling a bit worried, "If we just leave like this, who knows how those people will spin it about us."

"Let them be." Jiang Cheng was not worried; even if those reporters were bold, he was, after all, a Commander of the military region, and even out of respect for his military background, they would not dare to fabricate things at will.

Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.

This Hai Yisheng was an old acquaintance of Jiang Cheng; hearing that the two wanted a physical exam, he felt a bit strange, "You just had your physicals at the end of last year; is there something physically uncomfortable?"

Jiang Cheng told him about his wife suddenly fainting earlier.

"That's fine, then let's do it again."

As people get older, the ailments on their bodies gradually increase.

However, Hai Yisheng swallowed these words back down.

Who in the military didn't know that Commander Jiang doted on his wife the most? If he dared to say his wife was old when he was old himself, the offense would be huge.

The examinations arranged by Hai Yisheng were mainly for the brain and blood.

He suspected that Si Rong's fainting had a greater connection to these two things.

Blood collection room.

From the moment Si Rong stepped in here, she felt her arm start to ache before the blood was even drawn.

Although she was already an old woman, she was still afraid of needles and pain.

When the young girl inserted the needle into her arm, Si Rong turned her head away, not daring to look.

"It's okay, it will be over soon." After putting away the payment receipt, Jiang Cheng came over and covered her eyes with practiced ease.

The young girl drawing Si Rong's blood was an intern who had just arrived at the hospital; watching this old couple show affection, she sneered inwardly: pretentious!

Unexpectedly, the position of the needle seemed a bit off.

This woman's veins are hard to hit.

"Bear with it, let me find the vein," the intern nurse pulled the needle out of Si Rong's flesh a little and poked it in again.

Still didn't hit it, and after this happened a few times.

She pulled the needle out and suggested, "Your veins are hard to find, let's try the wrist!"

Si Rong:...

"Where is your supervisor?" Jiang Cheng stopped her from inserting the needle again; he had had physical exams so many times and had never seen a nurse draw blood from the veins in the wrist.

Forced by his imposing manner, the intern nurse straightened her expression before turning around to call the director with a sense of humiliation.

It's really interesting for an old couple to be like this; they definitely aren't the original spouses!

Calling the director directly, the director will criticize her in a moment.

Give her one more chance, and she would definitely be able to hit it.

The director came out, hit the vein immediately, and Si Rong didn't feel any pain.

"Sorry about that, she is an intern nurse." The director apologized on behalf of the young girl.

Si Rong really didn't have the magnanimity to say she forgave her; right now, the needle mark on her left arm still felt particularly painful.

After a round of examinations, it was already past noon.

The CT results wouldn't be out until the afternoon, so the couple went to a restaurant near the hospital for a simple lunch.

"By the way, I have to go to the school this afternoon," Si Rong felt there shouldn't be any major problems with her results, "I haven't been to work for a while, I need to check in."

"Alright, I'll go pick them up this afternoon."

After Jiang Cheng dropped her off at the school, he planned to return to the military base first.

They were going to retire next year; although the leaders hadn't explicitly said so, the handover work had already begun, so it wasn't very busy.

The many feelings of reluctance in his heart were known only to himself.

Before he even reached the military base, he received a call from Hai Yisheng.

With a sharp screech of brakes, the car turned around and headed back to the hospital.

"Can you see this small shadow?"

Jiang Cheng looked straight into his eyes, "Don't tell me those things, just tell me, what is the illness?"

"Preliminary suspicion is a tumor, but it needs further confirmation."

Hai Yisheng said cautiously, "This requires the patient's cooperation."

Upon hearing "tumor," Jiang Cheng's pupils trembled, and his gaze fell on the film he hadn't had the patience to look at earlier; under the light, it was a tiny shadow.

"Cooperation, we will cooperate."

But he didn't quite know how to tell Si Rong.

She was still so young, so kind.

Back when they were first together, he knew she was a pampered young lady who liked shiny jewelry and beautiful clothes.

But she would also exhaust her family fortune to save the people of Chuan Shi, so why would the heavens treat her like this?

"Don't worry too much for now," Hai Yisheng said, seeing his concern, "Actually, it's quite good to discover it early; if this drags on to the later stages, it's even more troublesome."

On the way back, Jiang Cheng called his younger brother.

Past the age of fifty, with his father deceased and Jiang Dacheng disabled, he had no one else to discuss major matters with but his brother.

Although, there was actually nothing to discuss about this matter.

But, perhaps he was afraid.

"Brother, sister-in-law is still young, and it was discovered early; let her be hospitalized."

"Mm."

"Apply for early retirement at the school; at most, the monthly retirement pension will just be a little less in the future."

"Mm."

"Rest assured and stay with your wife at the hospital for her treatment; I will take care of Mom and the two children at home."

"Mm."

"Brother, don't be afraid; you are not alone."

When Si Rong learned that her test results were not very good, her emotions did not fluctuate much.

She did not find it too surprising.

She is already fifty-five years old this year, and most people at this age have some minor illnesses or pains.

"Why do I need to be hospitalized?" She did not quite understand, and she was picky about her bed; she usually did not sleep well when staying in hotels in other places.

"The doctor said we need further examinations, and if there is nothing wrong, we can go home then," Jiang Cheng explained to her with a smile.

Si Rong fell silent.

If it required hospitalization, then it probably wasn't a minor issue.

Jiang Cheng showed her the test report directly.

"A small shadow, nothing major."

It was indeed a small shadow, but it was in her brain.

Back when Si Rong was still young, she had also thought about the matter of death.

She felt that she was not afraid of death, only worried about the two children, as well as Mom and Jiang Cheng.

But when it came to this point, she discovered that she was still afraid of death.

Death means not only facing separation from loved ones but also facing the unknown.

This kind of unknown makes it impossible for one to easily prepare oneself mentally.

She would cooperate well with the treatment.

Having stayed in this human world for over fifty years, even though many things had happened that disappointed her, she still felt attached to it.

As he had said, Jiang Yu would visit his brother's house with his wife every day after work to keep Mom and his niece and nephew company.

"Why hasn't Mommy come back yet?"

Jiang Siyu felt that something was wrong, and she urgently wanted to see her mother. "Uncle, can you take me to see Mommy?"

"Mommy is in the hospital because she is sick. But once she recovers, she will come back to take care of you," Xu Yan coaxed gently. "Besides, there is a lot of flu in the hospital; if you catch a cold, will Mommy be able to recover herself or take care of you?"
