1035 She knows that he is here for the other. (1/2)
”Her child didn't make it. The doctor said that her mental state isn't good right now so she's having delusions. She keeps imagining that her child is still alive.”
Gu Zhengrong was stunned for a long moment upon hearing this.
”…How did that happen? H-How is her physical condition then?”
”It's pretty good. She ate a lot earlier and is now asleep. Overall, she can function normally except for that bit of mental problem. I actually find it fortunate that she's a bit out of it, or else I think that her body will just give up.”
Tang Xiaoyu cast aside the bit of indignance she felt once she spoke about her best friend's condition.
No matter what, even if she did have a tad bit of scheming toward her, she was still her most important friend.
”I understand. I'll be there shortly. Tell me more about her condition, as well as her mother's.”
She continued speaking on the phone, telling him about the sleeping woman's condition and Zhang Manhua's.
After she had told him everything she knew, she then had time to inquire about his progress in finding a doctor for her best friend's mother.
”Oh, right. The matter you said about helping acquire a doctor for auntie yesterday—how is it coming along? Has your friend agreed to help?”
”Yes, he has already helped me get a doctor; in fact, I spoke to the doctor yesterday. From what I've been told me, that Dr. Conrad is seventy-percent sure that he can help Pei Ge's mother regain consciousness.”
This piece of information made the woman smile, her eyes curving into two crescents.
”That's really great! Seventy-percent, huh! That's already a high chance!”
”Yes, but…” As she was starting to get excited, the man spoke again.
”Huh? But what?” Her nerves tensed up at this.
”The doctor's concern isn't on the success of the operation but… on the patient being able to handle a flight.”
”A flight? What do you mean?”
His statement baffled her.
”The turbulence on a plane may be unbearable for her mother, whose brain has a blood clot pressing against a nerve, so…”
He did not need to finish his words for her to understand the meaning.
”That is to say, auntie… she… might be unable to handle a flight because her life would be put in danger?!”
”Yes.”
This reply caused her heart to sink again.
”What do we do, then? C-Can the doctor come over here to perform auntie's surgery?”
Despite carefully posing this question, the man's reply still crushed her hope.
”He can't.”
”He can't… Why not? Hasn't he agreed to do auntie's operation?! It merely takes one flight over for him to treat her! Why can't he?!” she demanded dejectedly.
