Chapter 65: There is no hope at all
The Huaihuai is a small place, but any strangers appear, it is easy to attract attention.
Cloud Mountain provincial city is different, although it is not as prosperous as L city, but a few more strange faces, just like a stone into the sea, who will care.
Bruce slid his wheelchair around the room twice, gradually gathered his fists and called Lange from next door.
Lifting the tea on the coffee table and taking a sip, he said indifferently, “You go down and get another room, use your ID card, and additionally notify the brothers in the shadows to stay in my room.”
“I can’t let you stay by yourself.” Lange refused outright: “This is too risky.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Bruce smiled tacitly, oblivious to this threat.
If it were a month or so ago, he might have been careful, but now there was no need.
Old Mr. Heard’s method of healing, though odd, was still very effective. He was confident that in a few months, he would be able to get back on his feet.
Lange was silent for a long time, but finally agreed and turned around and left the guest room. Bruce stayed in the room alone, pondered for a while, and sent Lindsey a comforting text message.
Lindsey didn’t reply, and after crying out, she fell asleep exhausted.
Bruce changed rooms and did not see Lindsey’s reply, so he simply washed up and went to bed.
The sky was overcast like an inky curtain, sinking over the city. The group of specialists from B City arrived at Cloud Mountain Cardiology Hospital at almost noon because of a weather delay.
Bruce, along with Lange, waited anxiously in the lobby under the hospital’s inpatient wing, occasionally raising his hand to check his watch.
“Here we go, here we go.” From a distance, several cars slowly drove up to the lobby door, and Lange tapped Bruce’s shoulder joyfully, “Mr. Grant, the specialists are here.”
Bruce was relieved to see the leaders of the hospital greeting him one after another, so he controlled the wheelchair to turn around and took the ordinary elevator upstairs first.
These experts are all invited by Charlotte, he has to come out to receive some reason. But the hospital leaders were more enthusiastic, so he couldn’t steal the limelight.
Upstairs, The Heard family siblings were sitting in the waiting area without saying a word, looking very serious.
“The people have arrived and will be up in a few minutes.” Bruce came to Lindsey’s side, barely pulling back the corners of his lips, “Don’t feel too bad.”
Lindsey nodded, looking at him with a hint of dependence in her eyes that she didn’t even notice.
After a few moments of silence, the doors of the doctor’s elevator lobby opened and a group of people came out with different looks. The leader of the group saw Bruce and immediately shook his hand with enthusiasm.
Bruce politely exchanged a few pleasantries with him and expressed his deep gratitude.
“It’s not too late to say thank you after seeing the patient’s condition.” The specialist’s face was solemn, and he immediately returned to the team and entered the ICU one after another.
His attitude made Bruce completely put his mind at ease and quietly stayed by Lindsey’s side.
The leading specialist looked at Bruce and then back at the leader of the hospital, waiting for the latter to say something.
The hospital’s president, Mr. Wang, gestured to everyone to go to the conference room.
The Heard family siblings waited dryly, the atmosphere was oppressive.
After about a minute, the leading expert from B City cleared his throat and said, “Our diagnosis is the same as Cloud Mountain’s. The patient is too old and not suitable for surgery.”
“No surgery, what about medication?” Maximus was anxious, his wheat-colored cheeks held red: “Is there any other way to cure.”
The experts shook their heads unanimously, saying they couldn’t help.
Lindsey couldn’t help but redden her eyes again, her head was blank, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.
Bruce saw this, subconsciously patted her shoulder, did not say anything.
Tankard opened his mouth with difficulty, he tried to control his emotions and slowly asked: “There is no hope at all?”
The words fell to the ground, the entire conference room once again became silent.
After a long time, the leading expert nodded heavily: “We have more than a dozen people to consult together, there is no mistake.”
Lindsey’s tears fell like beads from a broken thread.
After leaving the conference room, Tankard called them all together and asked for their opinions again, “I want to send Grandpa back to Samuel, and we will all go back to stay with him, what is your opinion.”
“I have no opinion.” Maximus, couldn’t help the tears rolling down his face as he said this.
Warren lowered his head, struggling to bite the back teeth slot: “I also have no opinion, a little while immediately set a ticket will L city to make up the leave note, by the way, bring Xinlin back.”
“Good, then it’s settled.” Tankard choked out a sob and turned his head to look at Bruce: “Bruce, you go back to B city or go back with us to Xiang locust.”
“I’ll come with you.” Bruce said, his eyes resting on Lindsey.
Tankard sighed quietly and turned around, moving with heavy steps to the elevator lobby.
When it was time for the afternoon visit, Maximus went in and talked to Old Mr. Heard about the siblings’ ideas, and Old Mr. Heard agreed so much that he would have left the hospital that day if Maximus hadn’t stopped him.
After a casual dinner at the hotel restaurant in the evening, Lindsey didn’t want to go back to her room, so she dragged Bruce to the cafe next door.
Finding a random seat, Lindsey ordered two cups of coffee and said sullenly, “Bruce, I’m poorer than you.”
“What words, you don’t even know how much I want to have a brother.” Bruce smiled slightly, and then sighed long and hard: “If I had a brother, maybe I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“What’s so great about a brother, I have three, I’ll give you two.” Lindsey also sighed: “I don’t really have much to say to my brothers, I’ve been especially afraid of them since they went off to do their military service.”
“Actually, I’m afraid of them too.” Bruce graciously admitted to being timid: “Especially Warren, every time he looks at me, I can’t help but want to shiver.”
Lindsey looked at him seriously for a second, and tears suddenly fell: “Thank you.”
“Lindsey…” Bruce’s heart ached to seize up, fiercely grabbed her hand, gently put it to his lips and kissed it tenderly: “I said, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. ”
Lindsey a light tremor, can’t control fall into his arms, whimpering out: “I’m so afraid that grandpa will leave me.”
“Not afraid, not afraid …” Bruce helplessly patted her back, softly coaxed: “You still have me, don’t you!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Lindsey huffed and nodded, and coldly heard a sneering voice slide past her ears, “Ouch, this girl is actually with a cripple, what a waste.”
