Chapter 2041 That's how it happened; the illness suddenly worsened.
"It's too dark on this road, don't drive so fast." Zhang Ran lied through her teeth, as if she couldn't see the streetlights on the side of the road.
Dongchan didn't ask any questions and slowed down.
The car drove directly into the hospital.
Zhang Ran slowly got out of the car and slowly walked into the hospital gate before running and standing at the entrance of the emergency room, panting heavily.
Nurses had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhang Ran, they immediately stepped forward to ask her questions and confirmed that she was the patient's family member before quickly having her sign the papers.
After signing the papers, Zhang Ran grabbed the nurse who was about to leave and anxiously asked, "Wasn't my grandfather perfectly fine? How did he suddenly become critically ill?"
"I'm not quite sure either," the nurse said honestly. "You can ask the doctor yourself when he comes out."
"Thank you." Zhang Ran watched the nurse leave, then found a chair nearby to sit down and took out her phone to send a message to K.
The hospital gradually filled up with people seeking medical treatment, but the emergency room doors remained closed.
Around noon, the doctor, looking exhausted, approached Zhang Ran and said, "I'm sorry, we did our best. Please accept my condolences."
With red eyes and a choked voice, Zhang Ran questioned, "Just a few days ago you said there was no danger to his life, how could he suddenly be gone?" Old Deng walks slowly, and if she takes her mother down there, she might be able to catch up with him and reunite their whole family underground.
Noticing the curious glances from passersby, the doctor pleaded with a grave expression, "Would you please come to my office to talk?"
Zhang Ran went with him.
After closing the office door, the doctor asked Zhang Ran to sit down, took off his glasses, and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose as he recounted what had happened: "The patient regained consciousness after being admitted to the intensive care unit and his condition had been stable for the past few days. However, his condition suddenly deteriorated in the middle of last night. I immediately performed surgery after receiving a notification from the on-duty nurse. As you can see, we really did our best."
Zhang Ran remained silent.
The doctor offered many words of comfort, mainly stating that the patient's sudden deterioration was not related to the hospital, but rather to the elderly woman's own weak immune system, which prevented her from surviving. He told her to accept the loss and move on.
"You called to say my mom woke up," Zhang Ran asked about her mother. "How is she?"
The doctor reviewed Chen Zhaodi's condition since her admission and gave a brief statement: "When your mother was first admitted to the hospital, her injuries were more severe, but her recovery has been very slow, as she is still under observation..."
After talking for more than an hour in the office, Zhang Ran finally decided to send the body to the morgue first, and then tell her mother what had happened after her mother was transferred to a regular ward, so that she could see her one last time before holding the funeral.
The doctor, exhausted, saw Zhang Ran off and packed his things to go home.
Suddenly hearing someone enter the office, he explained without looking up, "I've already finished get off work. You'll need to find another doctor."
The footsteps didn't fade away; instead, they grew closer. He looked up and saw two policemen, one of whom was in plainclothes.
"Doctor, we'd like to know more about patient Chen Zhaodi's condition..." the police officer stated directly.
The doctor wearily asked them to sit down. "Chen Zhaodi's condition is currently improving, but the other patient's condition deteriorated and he has passed away."
The plainclothes policeman frowned: "Please tell me the specific details."
The doctor told the truth, "...that's how it is. The condition suddenly worsened, and we couldn't save him even after trying to resuscitate him all night."
The plainclothes officer suddenly asked, "Describe in detail the family's behavior after they brought the person to the hospital, the more detailed the better."
