Chapter 415: She Was Clearly Fine
Ji Niandong finally said, "Big brother should care about sister-in-law a lot, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so anxious just now, wouldn’t have said she’s the only wife, wouldn’t have said if she dies, he’d follow her. If it’s love, then why make the person you love live a life worse than death?"
"Worse than death?" Lu Beiyao replied in a low voice, "She knows that feeling too?"
Lu Beiyao suddenly felt his throat dry and unbearably uncomfortable!
Lu Beichen pulled Ji Niandong to sit on a nearby bench to wait, "Let him think it through by himself!"
The light in the operating room was slow to turn on, they waited for a long time, and the door suddenly opened, Lu Beiyao quickly stood up and grabbed the doctor’s arm, "How is she?"
"The patient has signs of gastric cancer! A gastrectomy is necessary!"
"How is that possible?!" Lu Beiyao grabbed the doctor’s collar with agitation, "She was clearly fine, why does she have cancer!"
"The patient probably has had irregular eating habits for a long time and already had a serious stomach condition! The patient’s gastric issues have likely been present for a long time, didn’t you, as her family, know that?" The doctor pushed Lu Beiyao away, somewhat reproachful and disdainful.
Lu Beichen then pulled Lu Beiyao, "Big brother, calm down, listen to the doctor finish speaking first!"
The doctor continued, "Moreover, the patient should have mental problems, constantly under medication control. We just pumped her stomach, her dosage wasn’t meant for suicide, but taking medicine and drinking alcohol is no different from seeking death!"
The doctor glanced at Lu Beiyao, "We will perform a gastrectomy on the patient, removing half of the stomach to prevent cancer!"
"So what?" Ji Niandong asked nervously.
"If there’s no problem, you all sign a paper! The surgery should be fine, within 24 hours post-operation, if the patient wakes up, everything will be alright! But the patient has multiple wounds on her body, likely caused by abuse! Her will to survive is very weak now! Whether she can or cannot wake up will depend on the patient herself!"
The doctor handed the surgery consent form to them, Lu Beiyao gritted his teeth and replied, "What do you mean ’dependent on her’? I want her alive! Even if she can’t wake up on her own, you must wake her up for me, understand?"
"Big brother, calm down! Now’s not the time to act impulsively, first have the surgery on sister-in-law!" Lu Beichen said coldly.
Lu Beiyao then swallowed hard, and shakily took the pen from the doctor and signed his name.
The doctor quickly turned and went inside, closing the surgery door!
Lu Beiyao almost felt like his soul was drained, not knowing where to walk with each step, "I want her alive, alive..."
"Husband, what should we do?" Ji Niandong was anxious from the doctor’s words too, "Sister-in-law must not want to live herself! She really doesn’t want to live, how do we save her? Should we ask Doctor Zhu?"
"This surgeon is also a top authority! Since he said so, it depends on sister-in-law herself!" Lu Beichen looked at Lu Beiyao, sighed, "Hope that big brother can come to terms too!"
"What exactly happened between them?" Ji Niandong asked.
"Sister-in-law’s sister, Li Mengru and big brother were classmates for many years, even went abroad together, can be regarded as childhood sweethearts! The Li Family always respects the eldest daughter, Li Mengru is a famous New City socialite, but no one ever mentioned that the Li Family had a second miss, Li Siru. Until later, aunt asked big brother to return to the country to join Yi Tai, Li Mengru followed back to the country too, and it naturally led to talks of marriage. Later, no one knows what happened! Big brother suddenly wanted to call off the engagement! At that time, relations with the Li Family were tense, and later, Li Mengru died, big brother requested himself to marry the second miss, which is sister-in-law now! During that time, I was mostly abroad, also busy taking care of Nian Nian, not clear about the details! If... big brother hadn’t gone through all this, he’d have become a prominent figure at Yi Tai as well..."
Ji Niandong also looked at Lu Beiyao, "Seems like only they truly know in their hearts!"
