Chapter 465: Recovery is possible

"Cousin, I have already prepared the subsequent funeral rites. As long as the Family Head here..." He paused, seemingly feeling that stating it directly was inappropriate, so he changed his wording: "We won't be caught in a panic when the time comes."

"Mm." Tang Zhipeng's face was haggard. After hearing Tang Jihuai's words, he merely nodded faintly as a response.

"Then..." Just as Tang Jihuai began to speak, a commotion erupted in the ward, followed immediately by several chief physicians filing out one after another.

Seeing the doctors' panicked expressions, everyone mistakenly assumed they were coming out to announce Tang Bingyan's death. One by one, their faces turned pale, their eyes filled with despair.

"Eldest Miss..." A Wei bit his lip hard, his eye sockets blood-red.

Tang Zhipeng looked grief-stricken: "Doctor, is there any chance for resuscitation? At least let us see the Family Head one last time..."

Tang Bingyan hadn't left any instructions before fainting. If she were to pass away just like this, the Tang family would inevitably fall into chaos.

Only Tang Jihuai felt secretly delighted, though he feigned a look of sorrow on the surface.

"Cousin, the doctors have done their best. Let the Family Head go in peace; don't let her suffer any longer..."

"Although this news is too sudden, the Tang family still has us to hold it up; it won't..."

Seeing the reaction of the Tang family members outside, the several doctors looked at each other, their expressions somewhat awkward.

To prevent these people from continuing to misunderstand, one of the doctors hurriedly said.

"Miss Tang has already woken up."

"Are you serious?" Tang Zhipeng's spirit jolted, and he hurriedly grabbed the doctor's hand: "She woke up?"

"Mm, Miss Tang, she..." The doctor had just begun to explain when he was interrupted by Tang Jihuai at his side.

"Then why don't you hurry to the next ward and see if the Second Brother has woken up? The Family Head must have words for us. Let's go in first; we cannot let the Family Head go on her final journey alone..."

Doctor:...

Is anyone even allowed to speak properly anymore...

However, watching these Tang family members rushing into the ward in a panic, the doctors couldn't be bothered to explain. In any case, they would understand everything once they saw Tang Bingyan.

Tang Jihuai rushed to the very front. As he walked, he pinched his thigh hard, feigning a look of extreme grief. As soon as he rushed in, he threw himself directly onto the side of Tang Bingyan's bed and began to wail without a second thought.

"Family Head... what are we to do now that you are leaving us..."

"Please don't worry, I will take good care of the Second Brother for you..."

Tang Jihuai was all thunder and no rain. Before he could even squeeze out any tears, he inadvertently looked up and met a pair of cold, ripple-less eyes.

Tang Jihuai froze instantly. On his wrinkled, aged face was an expression of wanting to cry but failing to, looking extremely comical.

Tang Bingyan slowly sat up from the hospital bed, looked down at Tang Jihuai who was kneeling by the bedside, and spoke faintly: "Learning that I have woken up, is Sixth Grand-Uncle unhappy?"

"No... it's not..." Tang Jihuai fell to the floor as if he had seen a ghost, staring dumbfounded at the woman before him: "You... you are..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized and clamped his mouth shut, swallowing back the "are you human or a ghost" that had almost slipped out.

A bizarre atmosphere permeated the ward. Not only was Tang Jihuai shocked, but even Tang Zhipeng and the other Tang family elders behind him were stunned.

Just as everyone was unable to recover from their shock for a long time, Zhang Shenyi smiled and said: "Miss Tang's body is no longer in any serious trouble. The fainting and vomiting of blood earlier were merely the body's protective mechanism, forcing her to expel the stagnant blood accumulated around her heart vessels. Because her body was overly weak after vomiting blood, she fell into a deep sleep."

"Now that Miss Tang has regained consciousness, her life is naturally out of danger."

"Doctor Zhang, are you saying the Family Head's illness is completely cured?" Tang Zhipeng blinked, still unable to believe what Zhang Shenyi had said: "Will she have another episode in the future?"

Zhang Shenyi continued to explain: "Although there is still a possibility of a recurrence, the probability is extremely slim. As long as she is carefully recuperated, maintains the status quo, does not let her become overly exhausted, and follows a regular schedule with a proper diet, it won't be long before her body is no different from an ordinary person's."

"I also didn't expect Miss Tang to recover so quickly. It must be attributed to Mr. Xu's meticulous care; otherwise, even I could not have guaranteed that Miss Tang would recover to this extent."

Zhang Shenyi felt somewhat moved as he said this.

"Mr. Xu has a sincere heart for Miss Tang. There aren't many men as dedicated and responsible as him nowadays. He is the great hero who brought Miss Tang back from the gates of hell."

Hearing Zhang Shenyi's words, Tang Jihuai's face turned as pale as paper instantly.

Tang Bingyan had clearly been issued a critical condition notice and had one foot in the grave; how could she suddenly wake up and be out of life-threatening danger?

This is unscientific!

However, he soon thought of something even more terrifying.

Just yesterday, he had sent the very hero Zhang Shenyi spoke of into the interrogation room.

Oh no!

He must immediately send someone to fish that kid out of the interrogation room!

Tang Jihuai was still sprawled on the floor. His legs were weak, his body trembling slightly, and he managed to stabilize his mind to speak to Tang Bingyan.

"Family Head, seeing that you are safe and sound, how could I be unhappy? I was just too happy! I couldn't control myself for a moment..."

Having said that, he struggled to prop up his body and stand, asking after Tang Bingyan: "Family Head, is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable? Should we arrange another full-body checkup?"

On the surface, he squeezed out a gratified smile, but in his heart, he cursed the sanatorium doctors thoroughly.

What kind of quacks are they? Someone who had already been issued a critical condition notice has actually escaped danger—is this reasonable? And those difficult, stubborn illnesses from before have all been cured?

If Traditional Chinese Medicine were truly this magical, hospitals should all go bankrupt!

What Tang Jihuai couldn't figure out most was that this kind of outrageous plot, comparable to a novel, had actually happened.

"There is no need to trouble Sixth Grand-Uncle with the checkup." Tang Bingyan's tone remained indifferent, revealing no emotion at all.

Tang Jihuai hit a wall and, somewhat unwilling to give up, turned to look at the attending physicians of the sanatorium.

"Has our Family Head's condition really improved? Didn't you say before..."

The attending physicians were full of shame, and the leader among them apologized repeatedly to Tang Jihuai and the others.

"I'm sorry, it was a mistake by our expert team; we didn't provide an accurate diagnosis..."

"Doctor Zhang is indeed an experienced divine doctor. Miss Tang's condition has indeed improved. Although her body is still somewhat weak, we can guarantee that she is out of life-threatening danger and will not fall into a coma again."

"Really? Is Bingyan really out of danger?"

At this moment, an aged, elderly voice came from behind the crowd. The pale-faced Tang Laoyezi was pushed in by the butler in a wheelchair.

The lead chief physician saw Tang Laoyezi and replied again.

"Tang Laoyezi, please rest assured, this time our view is consistent with Doctor Zhang's."

"Moreover, these imported foreign instruments also show that the values of all of Miss Tang's organs are completely normal; there will be no more mistakes."

Seeing Tang Laoyezi enter, Zhang Shenyi hurriedly stepped forward a few paces to soothe him: "Tang Laoyezi, you don't need to worry anymore. Mr. Xu's decision to postpone the surgery earlier was correct."

"If she had undergone the surgery, although Miss Tang could have lived for a few more years, she would have had to endure the pain of repeated surgeries during those years. Mr. Xu Tian chose a conservative method of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine conditioning, which has had great results during this period. As long as she persists for a few more years, Miss Tang's body can recover to the state of a normal person." ===== CHAPTER 466 =====
