Cohabitation Trial Marriage (3 more chapters) Jiang Jinsang took Tang Wan to visit the Forbidden City, they had duck for lunch, and in the afternoon, they visited the Museum. They had also planned to go to Shichahai in the evening, as it was said to be very lively, but a phone call from ho had them hastily heading back.
“What did Uncle Tang say?” Jiang Jinsang looked at Tang Wan after she answered Tang Yunxian’s call, her expression unusually tense.
“He didn’t specify what the matter was, just asked to co back early. Could it be that Grandpa’s physical exam results were bad…”
Tang Wan had called Zhou Zhongqing yesterday, and he had said it was nothing serious, which had reassured her to go out with Jiang Jinsang.
“There shouldn’t be any problems, don’t worry too much.”
…
When the two returned to the Jiang Family, the night had fallen, and the mansion was brightly lit. As Jiang Jinsang got out of the car, he saw a familiar Volkswagen parked in the courtyard.
That was Zhou Zhongqing’s!
He’s here too?
Jiang Jinsang knew that he had recently been avoiding his own grandmother, and he definitely wouldn’t co without a special reason. Could it really be that Tang Grandpa was experiencing so health issues?
Inside the house, the living room was empty. Fan Mingyu erged from a guest bedroom on the first floor, “You’re back, co in quickly.”
Her expression was unusually solemn.
Tang Wan quickly followed her into the bedroom; this was Grandpa Tang’s room.
The room was crowded at the mont, including Zhou Zhongqing and his assistant. Grandpa lay on the bed, with Tang Yunxian standing by, his face also grave.
“What happened?” Tang Wan felt a chill down her spine and numbness in her fingers at the atmosphere in the room.
“Take the child out,” Fan Mingyu instructed the housemaid.
Jiangjiang also sensed sothing was off and silently followed outside.
The door closed, and Zhou Zhongqing sighed.
“Dr. Zhou? Is it that Grandpa’s physical examination found sothing wrong?” Tang Wan tentatively asked, “He has been following all your dietary and dication advice perfectly, and there was no major issue in the last check-up in Pingjiang, it shouldn’t be…”
“Miss Tang, please calm down first,” Zhou Zhongqing tried to soothe her.
“It’s okay, just tell ,” Tang Wan said, though her fingers involuntarily clutched the clothes by her side, her breathing almost stopping from nervousness.
“Actually, the exam results were mostly fine; the main issue is that they found several blood clots in his body.”
“Blood clots?” Tang Wan furrowed her brow, recalling suddenly that a neighbor next door in the old residence had sothing like a blood clot and then suddenly passed away.
“This can actually be quite dangerous. If not handled properly, and a thrombosis occurs, it is very easy for one to suddenly…”
Zhou Zhongqing threw a bunch of dical terms at her which she couldn’t understand; from what she gathered, the summary was in one word:
Dangerous!
“Dr. Zhou, what should we do now?” With no knowledge in dical science, Tang Wan could only feign calmness, feeling terrified by Zhou Zhongqing’s alarming speech.
“This brings a lot of risk to the surgery. To be blunt, there’s a real possibility of not coming off the operating table…” Zhou Zhongqing stopped there.
“What if we don’t do the surgery?” Tang Wan pushed, considering that Tang Grandpa was still relatively healthy and surgery wasn’t absolutely necessary.
“In winter, the temperature drops, triggering coronary spasm and affecting blood supply to the heart and brain. It’s very easy to cause a cerebral thrombosis, especially since he already has clots; I don’t need to elaborate on the risks…”
Tang Wan bit her lip and said nothing.
Jiang Jinsang, however, gave Zhou Zhongqing a deep look, knowing more than the average dical student although not formally trained himself.
He knew Zhou Zhongqing’s words were frightening, although not as dire upon detailed investigation.
But the Tang Family had no one skilled in dicine; Tang Wan hung her head in silence, Tang Yunxian’s expression equally grave.
“Wanwan, it’s okay, Dr. Zhou is an excellent physician, don’t worry too much,” Fan Mingyu took her hand, “Don’t be scared, your grandpa will be okay.”
Tang Yunxian took a deep breath, “Dr. Zhou, what do you suggest we do at the mont?”
“Still go ahead with the planned surgery, although it does carry a high risk…”
Tang Grandpa sighed, “I’ve said it before, why bother with surgery? Coming all the way to Beijing, troubling soone else’s household, isn’t it just pointless? I’m not having the surgery; life and death are in heaven’s hands.”
“Grandpa—” Tang Wan scowled; no child could bear hearing such words.
“Mr. Tang, what are you saying? You’re welco in my ho, you can stay several years if needed, we have such close relations,” the grandmother sighed, “At this age, don’t keep talking about dying; it’s not auspicious.”
“This is just our children’s filial piety; don’t you want to spend a few more years with Wanwan to see her get married and have children?”
