Duan Shuyuan followed Li Qiao’s gaze toward the hospital room, sighing deeply, "Just did the checkup, high blood pressure 180, accompanied by a minor brain infarction. Thankfully, the butler discovered it in time, otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Duan Yuanhui stepped forward and patted Duan Shuyuan on the shoulder, "Second sister, don’t worry too much. Let’s wait for the doctor’s consultation results and then see how things are."
Duan Shuyuan sighed and nodded, pulling on Li Qiao’s hand with a tight grip.
At this moment, Duan Yixuan, who was standing behind the crowd, secretly sized up Li Qiao. Seeing her indifferent expression, he couldn’t help but mutter, "I don’t see her being too worried about Grandpa. She’s pretending to be anxious, but after she arrived, hasn’t she just been standing here stupidly?"
Although Duan Yixuan’s voice was low, since everyone in the hallway was in a somber mood, silently waiting for the test results from the hospital room,
his words stood out, jarring and grating.
Elder Uncle Duan Yuanhong’s eyes flashed fiercely as he turned and glared at Duan Yixuan, scolding, "Knowing that your grandpa is sick, how can you still spout such nonsense here?"
Duan Yixuan, feeling guilty, darted his eyes away. Seeing that Li Qiao was still unmoved by the dispute, he couldn’t suppress the mischief in his heart and said sarcastically, "Dad, I am not spouting nonsense. Didn’t you all boast about her having connections at the Affiliated Hospital?
Yet, today being Saturday, it was still you who called the Vice Dean to arrange for the doctors’ consultation!"
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Duan Yuanhong’s eyes. Just as he was about to scold her again, Madam Duan immediately stepped out from the side and stood in front of Duan Yixuan, "Old Duan, that’s enough. Xuanxuan didn’t say anything wrong. How can you scold her in front of so many people and hurt the child’s self-esteem?"
The verbal clash among the three family members made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense.
Throughout the entire time, Li Qiao didn’t say a word, completely indifferent to the end.
Despite her displeasure, Duan Shuyuan had no desire to waste words with them either.
The only one was Uncle Duan Yuanhui.
He looked at Duan Yixuan and Madam Duan with a stern face and, in a tone akin to a department head reprimanding staff, said, "At a time , you still have the mood to quarrel over such trivial matters? Xuanxuan, how old are you? As Qiaoqiao’s cousin, you are not even as composed as she is.
Why are we, one family, talking as if we are two? No matter who called the doctors, it’s all for your grandpa’s benefit. Is this the time for comparison?"
Besides, if he remembered correctly, the one who called the Vice Dean was none other than Li Family’s eldest, Li Jun.
What the hell did it have to do with Duan Yuanhong?!
He was fed up with this family’s love for vanity.
Before long, the doctors from the consultation came out of the hospital room, one after another.
Duan Shuyuan hurried forward, "Doctor, how is my dad?"
The attending physician looked at the medical record in hand and nodded to Duan Shuyuan, "Madam Duan, the old master’s blood pressure is too high at the moment. We will start him on blood pressure-lowering treatment.
Also, the brain CT scan we just took shows that the old master’s blood vessels are too narrow, and we recommend implanting a stent to prevent the likelihood of more severe symptoms of brain infarction in the future."
Duan Shuyuan looked somewhat panicked, the fact that it was her own father made the word ’brain infarction’ sound terrifying, "So was his passing out today caused by the brain infarction or high blood pressure? Could there be any sequelae?"
Seeing her firing off a series of questions, the doctor flipped through the medical record again and patiently explained, "Today’s incident was caused by high blood pressure, a fairly common occurrence, so you don’t need to worry too much.
After the blood pressure-lowering treatment, the family will need to discuss and decide whether to go ahead with the stent implantation."
