Chapter 213 Old Man I Won’t Die (7)
Chapter 213 Old Man I Won’t Die (7)
Early the next morning, the old couple was busy preparing things for the New Year, but a phone call disrupted Lin Yu's plans.
"Dad, Dad, please help Shusen..." His words were intermittent and he couldn't stop sobbing.
"Don't be anxious, talk slowly, Xiaoxiao, Dad is here!" Lin Yu comforted the anxious Gu Xinyu and consoled Lin Xiao on the other end of the phone.
But the person on the other end kept crying, and this made Lin Yu anxious. Finally, it was Lin Xiao’s eight-year-old son who answered the phone and said in a sobbing voice: “Grandpa, Dad was in a car accident…”
"Guolin, don't cry. Tell grandpa which hospital your dad is in."
"Jinping City First Hospital."
"Okay, Guolin, you're a man. Now, stay with mom and wait for grandpa, okay? Where are your grandparents and uncles and aunts?"
"Okay, grandpa and grandma fainted, aunt and uncle were injured, and uncle went to pay the bill."
"Okay, Grandpa got it. Wait for Grandpa to come over." After hanging up the phone, Gu Xinyu was already extremely anxious.
"Xinyu, calm down. We need to stay calm right now. Pack up and go to Jinping."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, right away."
Seeing Lin Yu packing his luggage, Lin Yu called the two brothers Lin Feng and Lin Qiang. As for Lin Kang, he also informed them that he would not be back for a while.
Lin Feng immediately said that he would drive the old couple there and put the two children at Lin Qiang's house.
"Dad, I'm worried about you driving. I'll take you there."
"Fine!"
The group drove to Jinping overnight and arrived late at night.
I asked the doctor on duty and found out that the person is now in the intensive care unit.
Upon hearing this news, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and went to the ward to verify that the patient was still alive. Lin Xiao hadn't explained clearly on the phone, leaving them both on edge the entire way. Even Lin Yu had forgotten to ask Lao Liu. Lin Xiao's crying had truly stifled them.
When I found the door of the intensive care unit, I saw Lin Xiao holding the child there. He looked very haggard, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.
"Xiaoxiao!" Gu Xinyu took two quick steps and hugged her in his arms.
"Mom?" Lin Xiao finally came back to her senses and wiped her tears before seeing who was coming. "Dad, Mom, and second brother. You're here."
"Lin Feng, go visit your in-laws. They're old, and this is quite a shock. Xiaoxiao's eldest uncle should be there too. Ask him about his situation."
"Oh! All right. I'll go right away."
"Xiaoxiao, why did you get into a car accident out of the blue? Didn't they say that Aunt Guolin and Uncle were also injured?" Gu Xinyu asked worriedly.
"Shusen and I thought we'd come back for a walk around so I could go back to my parents' house for the Lunar New Year. My mother-in-law and I had already agreed, and my sister-in-law and her husband had just finished their trip today, so Shusen said she'd pick them up at the airport. Everything was fine on the way there, but on the way back, when we were almost home, we encountered a drunk driver who crashed into several cars and finally rammed into Shusen and their car. We couldn't dodge in time, so..."
"Has the traffic police been here?" Lin Yu asked.
"Yes, I have been here. Shusen just came out of the operation. My sister-in-law and her husband didn't suffer serious injuries because Shusen turned the steering wheel in time. They are now in the ward where my mother-in-law and her husband are staying. Shusen's leg is seriously injured. The doctor said he may not be able to stand up." As Lin Xiao spoke, tears streamed down her face. Little Guolin lay in her arms and cried silently.
"Don't cry, your eyes are swollen. The doctor said it's possible, but not certain. I'll check him out when his condition stabilizes. I'll slowly take care of him. Don't jump to conclusions."
Lin Xiao wiped her tears and nodded. She was just holding onto hope for her father. At that moment, she deeply realized how fortunate it was that the old man was still alive. She had previously thought that since she married far away, her family would gradually become distant. Now, facing difficulties, she realized that only when her parents were there could she rely on them. This was why she later regretted her behavior countless times.
After a while, Lin Feng came back.
"How are they?"
"The old man is awake, but the old lady is still unconscious. I heard from Xiaoxiao's uncle that she showed signs of a stroke. Her sister-in-law and her husband had many scratches on their bodies, and their arms and legs had several stitches, but they are not in serious condition. They need someone to stay over there, so they are guarding it all the time!" said Lin Feng.
"By the way, Dad, I just asked the doctor, and my brother-in-law's leg is not in good condition. It seems that his nerves are damaged. It depends on his subsequent recovery. His head was also hit. Fortunately, there is an airbag, otherwise..." He shook his head.
"Okay, I got it. Once they wake up and stabilize, bring them to me. I'll give them acupuncture, massage, and Chinese medicine to help them recover faster."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao and said to Gu Xinyu: "Take Xiaoxiao and the child to rest. Lin Feng and I will stay here. Come back after you have rested."
Lin Xiao shook his head: "Dad, I can't sleep, I'll stay here with you."
Gu Xinyu looked at her daughter distressedly: "Be obedient, your body can't bear it like this, go to sleep for a while, if you don't rest, Guolin is still young, he was also scared today, let the child rest."
Lin Xiao looked at his son's frightened eyes, hugged him in his arms, nodded in agreement, and the three of them went to the lounge nearby.
After a sleepless night, Lin Yu and Lin Feng sat on a bench, the clock ticking.
Lin Yu closed his eyes and asked Lao Liu, "How's Wu Shusen's leg? Lao Liu, give me an assessment."
"Tsk, host, I'm almost an evaluator, doing intelligence gathering on the side."
"Sixth Brother, stop talking nonsense. This is all you can do to help. Just do your job and hurry up."
"Got it, don't rush me, I'm scanning right now!"
After about five minutes, Lao Liu said, "Oh no. Host, he's seriously injured. It's a comminuted fracture, and it's a shame that the nerves have been damaged. He's a bit unlucky."
"One leg or?"
"Two legs."
"Damn it! I don't think this is the old man's wish to live on until his children have no hope of competing for his property. This is basically using me as a guardian beast."
"Haha, then you don't care about the host?" Lao Liu was a little gloating.
"Tsk! I care. I'm living in someone else's body, taking advantage of karma. How can I just ignore it? After all, it's the client's wish. You're being hard on the outside but soft on the inside."
Now Lin Yu had a plan in mind. He planned to give the patient a glass of water with medicinal powder in it when he woke up, and nourish him slowly. He didn't want the doctor to make a conclusion, as that would make it difficult for the family to accept the fact.
Lin Yu suddenly stood up, startling Lin Feng: "Dad, what are you doing?"
"I'll go in and see if he's awake. You can continue to take a nap."
"Oh! Okay, Dad, call me if you need anything."
Lin Yu walked into the ward, sat beside the bed, took Wu Shusen's hand, felt his pulse, and then looked at the condition.
At this time, the person on the bed slowly woke up.
"water……"
Lin Yu quickly poured a cup of warm water, took the opportunity to sprinkle the pill powder into it, and helped Wu Shusen half lean on the pillow. He slowly fed him the water.
Wu Shusen took a few sips of water with difficulty and said weakly, "Dad? Why are you here? I made you worried."
"We came here as soon as we got the call."
Suddenly he remembered and asked hurriedly: "Where are my sister and the others? They..."
"Don't worry, calm down. Your sister and her husband are fine. They just got a few stitches and are in another ward. Your condition is a little serious, so stay here for observation."
"Dad, where's Xiaoxiao? She must be worried sick, and so are my parents."
"You take care of yourself and recover first. I asked Xiaoxiao to rest. Guolin is here too. Your parents fainted and are now with your younger sister. Lin Feng has gone to see them. Don't worry, we are here." Lin Yu didn't tell him about his mother-in-law's condition, but he would go and see her later.
"Okay, thank you Dad, thank you for your trouble." Wu Shusen was very weak. After talking for a while, he lay down tiredly.
"I'll go get the doctor. Just lie down for a while. Don't think too much."
Lin Yu walked out of the ward and saw Lin Feng rubbing his eyes, so he said, "Go call the doctor, the patient is awake."
"Huh? Awake? Do your best, I'll go call you right away."
Just then, Xiaoxiao's uncle came over, looking very tired.
"Uncle Lin, you're here. Is this a bother for you?"
"No way, we're all family. How are your parents?"
Wu Shulin sighed, "Hey! My dad is fine. My mom just woke up. She had a minor stroke, not serious. She's getting an acupuncture injection. Uncle Lin, could you please go check on her later?"
"This is natural, we should go see a doctor. Don't worry about this. Shusen just woke up, and Linfeng is going to see a doctor. If you're okay, go back and look after your parents and tell them."
"Hey. Okay, thank you Uncle Lin. I'll be on my way first."
The doctor came over and did a simple examination. As usual, it depends on the subsequent recovery. So far, it has been confirmed that the nerves are damaged.
Wu Shusen couldn't accept this conclusion, but Lin Yu said, "I'm still here, don't be afraid."
Wu Shusen was very convinced of Lin Yu, and these words really comforted him.
