Chapter 559: Brain-Dead Organ Donation!
"Mingcheng, don't go! If there's any conflict, speak it out face-to-face; don't hide it or bottle it up! A husband and wife must never engage in a cold war!"
Seeing that Shen Mingcheng's mood was off, Xiao Fang hurriedly grabbed his arm and persuaded him in a soft, gentle voice.
Shen Mingcheng then laid his cards on the table and said coldly, "I am now in Tianling, competing with Suiyuan. It's one thing that Chen Lan doesn't help me, but she even went to help Suiyuan solve their funding problems. Isn't this turning her back on her own family? This woman is too heartless; it's chilling."
Chen Lan looked at Shen Mingcheng, feeling baffled.
"What is there to explain? My unit has a partnership with Suiyuan; is there a problem with me participating in the signing ceremony?" Chen Lan said, caught between laughter and tears. "Shen Mingcheng, aren't you being too narrow-minded? I admit, I am in charge of the project with Suiyuan, but this is my job. If Tianling had a similar cooperative project, I wouldn't refuse it either, but does Tianling have the gold-standard signboard of a national-level green base?"
Shen Mingcheng glared and snorted, "I'm narrow-minded, I'm petty. You're the most magnanimous; you help the Du Chengfeng family suppress me—you have the most integrity!"
Chen Lan said, "Shen Mingcheng, you are truly impossible to communicate with. I won't eat this meal; you all go ahead!"
"Chen Lan, you—you stop right there!"
"Old woman, what's wrong with you!" Chen Lan's father, Chen Ming'an, exclaimed!
Chen Lan turned around and looked behind her.
She saw Xiao Fang with her eyes tightly shut, having fainted on the ground!
Although Chen Lan had her grievances with Xiao Fang, she was her mother after all. Startled by this turn of events, she rushed over, helped Xiao Fang up, and then took out her phone to dial the emergency number.
Shen Mingcheng's first reaction was that his mother-in-law was in good health; could she be faking a faint to stop the conflict between the two of them?
The ambulance arrived at the entrance very quickly.
Shen Mingcheng followed the medical staff into the ambulance and arrived at the hospital. Upon learning from the Attending Physician that his mother-in-law had indeed suffered a sudden illness, he felt secretly ashamed, thinking he had acted like a villain again!
The doctor examined Xiao Fang's condition, a grave look appearing on his face: "It should be an acute cerebral hemorrhage caused by stimulation. We won't know the specific situation until we take some scans!"
Shen Mingcheng felt a jolt in his heart. He had been quite unlucky lately; first his father had problems, and now his mother-in-law was having problems.
His mother-in-law had been quite good to him; if she were gone, his marriage with Chen Lan would also come to an end.
"Mingcheng, do you know any Experts at the hospital?" At this moment, Chen Lan could not be bothered to be angry with Shen Mingcheng and asked in a low, soft voice.
"I don't know anyone!" Shen Mingcheng shook his head and said in an indifferent tone, "Your mother shouldn't have a big problem; trust the skills of the doctors at the Provincial People's Hospital!"
Chen Lan realized that Shen Mingcheng was completely unreliable and hurriedly called Xiao Qin.
"Aunt, I, I..."
Hearing that Chen Lan's tone was off and her voice was hoarse, Xiao Qin said nervously, "Lanlan, what's wrong? Don't worry, tell me slowly!"
"My mom just fainted. The doctor said she has an acute cerebral hemorrhage, and the situation is quite serious."
Xiao Qin comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll think of a way together. Which hospital are you at?"
Chen Lan said, "We are at the Provincial People's Hospital! I don't know anyone, and I feel quite helpless."
Xiao Qin sighed, "Don't worry, I'll be right over. I'll call your eldest uncle in a moment; he definitely knows the leaders at the Provincial People's Hospital. Everything will be fine."
Receiving Xiao Qin's comfort, Chen Lan's mood finally stabilized at this moment.
Xiao Qin hung up the phone and called Xiao Guangyi.
"Brother, I just received a call from Chen Lan. Second Sister fainted and was sent to the hospital. The situation is quite dangerous. Can you find an acquaintance and put in a word?"
Xiao Guangyi had been very close to Xiao Fang since childhood and was shocked, "Don't worry, I'll find someone right now."
Xiao Qin's movements drew Du Xi's attention.
Hearing that Chen Lan's mother was in the emergency room, Du Xi, despite her poor impression of her aunt, had been getting along quite well with Chen Lan recently and took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'll go to the Provincial People's Hospital with you!"
Xiao Qin nodded slightly, "Alright, I'm feeling a bit panicked, it's good to have you with me."
Du Xi then called Tang Ye.
"Chen Lan's mom had an accident. Mom and I are preparing to go to the Provincial Capital. Can you help me find a car?"
Tang Ye said hurriedly, "I'll call Sun Hai and have him figure something out."
Ten or so minutes later, Sun Hai drove to Yunhu Courtyard in person, picked up Xiao Qin and Du Xi, and headed straight for the Provincial People's Hospital.
When Tang Ye answered the phone, he was eating at Guo Liang's house.
Xu Miao had moved from Pinghu to Suiyuan last month.
With Tang Ye's help, Xu Miao was working at the County Education Bureau. Although the salary wasn't high, the work wasn't tiring. For this reason, Xu Miao had Guo Liang invite Tang Ye to their home as a guest.
Hearing that something had happened, Tang Ye immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Something happened at home; I need to go to the Provincial People's Hospital to take a look."
"Master, you've been drinking; let me take you!" Xu Qiao had been working as a Liaison Officer beside Cheng Lin for a year or two, so her reaction was very quick.
"Alright! Then I'll trouble you." Tang Ye tossed the car keys to Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao took the keys and hurried downstairs. As she started the car, she suddenly remembered the scene when she first learned to drive in Pinghu and Tang Ye was sitting in her car; Tang Ye had been especially nervous every time back then.
An hour and a half later, Tang Ye arrived at the Provincial People's Hospital.
Seeing Tang Ye appear, a look of surprise appeared in Du Xi's eyes, "Why did you come?"
Tang Ye told the truth, "I was worried!"
Not far away, Shen Mingcheng saw Tang Ye appear but did not go over to greet him.
After all, his mother-in-law's sudden problem had a certain connection to Tang Ye.
If he hadn't seen the news of Chen Lan and Tang Ye appearing together, his mindset wouldn't have collapsed.
Consequently, the scene wouldn't have been so chaotic.
Xiao Fang wouldn't have been so distressed as to suffer an acute cerebral hemorrhage.
The door to the emergency room opened.
The Attending Physician walked out.
"Who is Xiao Fang's family!"
"I am!"
Xiao Fang's husband, Chen Ming'an, walked over.
"The patient's condition is extremely dangerous. The amount of bleeding is very large, which has already led to a Cerebral Hernia. The peripheral bleeding points have been controlled, but there are several bleeding points deep inside that cannot be controlled. If we perform surgery forcibly, the success rate is less than thirty percent. Even if the surgery is successful, the patient is very likely to become a vegetable. I suggest you consider it carefully!"
The Attending Physician's meaning was very clear; this surgery could actually be opted against.
Chen Ming'an was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Chen Lan was also at a loss for what to do.
"Doctor, please, you must save my mother. No matter the cost, we are willing to pay."
"It is not a matter of cost, but that the patient's condition is very serious. We can perform the surgery, but you must prepare yourselves mentally; you might end up losing both the person and the money."
Chen Lan was incredibly conflicted; she did not know what to do either.
"Uncle, please think of a way!"
Xiao Guangyi was also powerless; he had already spoken to the Dean.
The Attending Physician was the hospital's most famous Neurosurgery Expert.
Chen Lan's tears flowed out incessantly.
If she had known, she would have just followed Xiao Fang's wishes and not continued to be angry with Shen Mingcheng.
At this moment!
Her heart was filled with regret!
"According to the patient's condition, symptoms of brain death have already appeared. The patient previously participated in a public welfare activity organized by the hospital and signed an organ donation consent form. Now, we need to verify this with the patient's family..."
