Chapter 424 There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
Shen Li sat in the car, looking at her unconscious grandmother in her arms. Her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, both suffocating and aching.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; that was the life of my third aunt.
It's both pitiful and lamentable; perhaps it truly reflects the saying, "There's always something hateful about a pitiful person."
But right now, she doesn't have time to dwell on these emotions.
She only hoped that her grandmother could be safe and sound—the blow of a white-haired person burying a black-haired person was too great, and she really couldn't bear the pain of losing her grandmother again.
The car sped along, heading directly to the hospital where Shen Li's second brother, Shen Qingnan, was located.
On the way, Shen Li had already called her second brother. Shen Qingnan, who was on the other end of the line, was also startled when he received the news and immediately said that he would arrange for emergency treatment.
When Shen Li and his group arrived at the hospital, Shen Qingnan was already waiting at the hospital entrance, his face full of worry.
He hurried over and, seeing Shen Li's pale face, quickly comforted her, "Little sister, don't worry, I've arranged for the best doctor. Grandma will definitely be alright."
Shen Li nodded vigorously, her voice trembling slightly: "Okay, Second Brother, I'm counting on you."
Grandma was rushed into the operating room. Shen Li stood in the corridor outside the operating room, pacing back and forth anxiously.
She hesitated whether to call her father. On one side was her recently deceased aunt, and on the other was her unconscious grandmother. Both were her closest relatives, and she couldn't bear to leave either side.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Li finally dialed her father's number.
—As for my third aunt's matter, she's dead, so it doesn't matter whether we deal with it sooner or later.
But for Grandma, every minute and every second is crucial.
Afterwards, she called her uncle again to tell him about the situation.
Less than half an hour later, the uncle and Shen's mother rushed over.
As soon as Shen's mother saw Shen Li, she rushed forward and grabbed her hand, asking anxiously, "Li Li, how is it? How is your grandmother?"
Shen Li shook her head, her eyes filled with exhaustion: "I don't know yet. Grandma's still in the operating room. Where's Dad? Why didn't he come?"
"Your father is still at the Luo family's house dealing with your third aunt's funeral arrangements and can't leave, so he asked me to come and keep an eye on things here." Mrs. Shen sighed and patted Shen Li on the back.
"Don't worry too much. Good people are always protected by heaven. Your grandma will be alright."
"Mm." Shen Li nodded, but the panic in her heart did not lessen at all.
She was busy attending to everyone, her mind a jumble of thoughts. It took her a while to remember Ming Xiangyang, so she quickly took out her phone and called him.
The call was quickly answered, and Ming Xiangyang's gentle and cheerful voice came from the other end: "Lili?"
Shen Li's voice was filled with barely concealed worry and a sob: "Xiangyang, could you... could you spare some time to go back to the capital?"
Hearing that something was wrong with her voice, Ming Xiangyang, who had been relaxed, sat up straight instantly, his tone becoming serious: "What's wrong? What happened? Don't panic, tell me slowly."
"My third aunt has passed away," Shen Li sniffed, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Grandma fainted on the spot after hearing the news and is still in the operating room. I don't know how serious her condition is..."
Ming Xiangyang pressed further, "When you fainted, did you fall directly to the ground, or was someone helping you up?"
"Grandpa was supporting her, so she didn't fall to the ground," Shen Li quickly replied.
"That's good." Ming Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"Give Grandma three of the medicine in the blue bottle I gave you before, right now."
"I'll book a flight back to Beijing right away. Don't worry, just wait for me at the hospital. Grandma will be fine."
Shen Li nodded repeatedly, her eyes welling up with tears, her voice choked with emotion: "Okay... thank you, Xiangyang."
She stored most of the medicine Ming Xiangyang gave her in her spatial storage.
She would only keep the ones she used frequently in a place in her room where she could easily reach them.
Thinking of this, she immediately pulled a medicine bottle out of her bag and knocked on the door.
A nurse suddenly appeared: "What's the matter?"
Shen Lixin's heart tightened, and he shoved the medicine bottle into the nurse's hand, his tone firm: "Give this to Shen Qingnan and tell him that it's medicine from me, Shen Li, and let him feed Grandma three pills first."
The nurse frowned, looking troubled: "I'm sorry, our hospital has regulations that prohibit giving patients medications brought from outside without authorization."
"Just give it to him," Shen Li said firmly, her tone unwavering, her eyes resolute.
"He knows what he's doing. If anything goes wrong, we'll take full responsibility and will never implicate the hospital or you."
Seeing her resolute attitude and the earnestness she felt in her desperation, the nurse finally took the medicine bottle, turned around, and walked into the emergency room.
Seeing that no one inside came out, Shen Qingnan looked at the medicine the nurse brought in.
He knew that Lili would never harm her grandmother, and besides, he also knew that Lili's previous fiancé, Ming Xiangyang, was a very skilled doctor.
Over the years, even his parents have been taking some health-preserving medicines made by Ming Xiangyang.
So most of this medicine was probably given by Ming Xiangyang!
Shen Li stood in the corridor, her fingertips icy cold, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, pacing anxiously at the door as she waited.
Everyone in his family knows how skilled Ming Xiangyang is in medicine. After all, his hospital is famous throughout the country, and he has cured all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.
The elderly are most susceptible to excitement.
As people get older, their blood vessels become like water pipes that have been used for a long time, filled with garbage. Over time, this buildup can easily lead to blockages.
If you suddenly become emotionally agitated at this time, blood rushes to the top of your head, which can easily cause blood vessels to rupture, also known as cerebral congestion.
In such cases, the consequences can range from partial paralysis to immediate death.
After another half hour, the door to the emergency room finally opened, and Shen Qingnan walked out looking exhausted.
The people waiting outside immediately crowded around, with Shen Li at the forefront, her voice trembling slightly: "Second Brother, how is Grandma?"
Shen Qingnan breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of relief on her face: "The medicine you gave me was very effective; it has stabilized Grandma's blood pressure. She is still unconscious, but all her vital signs have returned to normal."
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly, but Shen Li's face was still full of worry. She only softly replied, "Okay..."
A moment later, several nurses pushed a hospital bed out of the emergency room, preparing to take Grandma to a VIP ward on the top floor.
Although it is only 1997, this hospital is newly built and has a very good environment and facilities.
The VIP ward is exceptionally spacious; even with family members all gathered there, it doesn't feel crowded at all.
Shen Li looked at her grandfather, who was standing by the bedside. His back was ramrod straight, and his gaze was fixed on her grandmother's face, as if he was afraid that she would be gone in the blink of an eye.
She gently patted her grandfather's arm and softly comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, Grandma will be alright."
Grandpa nodded slowly, his voice hoarse: "Yes, everything will be alright..."
