Chapter 783: Condition Worsened, She Could... Anytime
On Gu Mang’s side.
After accepting Lu Si’s friend request, Lu Si greeted her and sent his phone number to her.
Lu Si typed, [Hello, Ms. Gu. Let me know if you need anything. I will always be at your service.]
Gu Mang replied, [Ok.]
Then, she entered her chat room with Lu Chengzhou. [What happened at the Lu residence?]
...
At the same time.
The Lu residence.
Old Madam’s front yard was packed with people. Lu Chengzhou walked over with one hand in his pocket. Everyone looked over as he approached.
Lu Shangjin was there as well. He took a few steps forward. “Where is Gu Mang?”
Lu Chengzhou did not stop walking. He headed in the direction of Old Madam’s room. “She went to Jijing Island to take part in a competition.”
“What?” Lu Shangjin’s expression changed. “Is it possible to bring her back here now?”
Lu Chengzhou’s expression was cold. “Don’t tell Gu Mang about Granny.”
“But there is no other doctor who can help Granny except her.” Lu Shangjin was so anxious that beads of cold sweat were forming on his forehead.
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips and walked into the master bedroom. Old Madam was in bed and she looked like she was in a bad state. She was confused and her face was pale.
Yu Zhongjing was examining Old Madam. Lu Zhan had called him over in Gu Mang’s absence. Lu Xiwei stood at the side too.
When Old Madam saw Lu Chengzhou, she fixed her gaze on him and forced her eyes to remain open. “You returned so quickly today. I thought I would only see you after I napped.”
Lu Chengzhou did not answer. He did not disrupt Yu Zhongjing who was conducting the examination either. Instead, he asked Lu Zhan, “Dad, what happened to Granny?”
The man’s eyes were dark and heavy.
Lu Zhan’s expression was solemn. “The subordinates said that she has not been in a good mental state this past week. She fainted this morning when she was taking her medicine.”
After Old Madam underwent the operation last year, she started taking the medicine Gu Mang had prescribed which helped keep her health up. Usually, she seemed to be in a good mental state.
But lately, she had been falling asleep a lot.
After the operation Gu Mang said that if Old Madam recuperates well, she could have another three to five years. Otherwise, it was also possible for her to pass away at any time.
When Lu Chengzhou heard that, he furrowed his eyebrows. “Why are we only being informed now if this has been going on for the past week?”
He scanned the butler at the side.
“I told her not to tell anyone.” Old Madam sounded weak. “This is the way my body is. All you youngsters are very busy. Don’t worry so much about me.”
In the past, Lu Chengzhou had given up on the research project at the Blood Institute. He lived recklessly and did not take his life seriously. He lived every day as if it were his last.
Now that he has finally refocused on the project, how could she distract him at such a crucial time?
Lu Chengzhou recalled when Old Madam got them to return for dinner last week.
Given Old Madam’s personality, if she had really wanted to meet Gu Mang, she would have gone straight to Royal Garden.
Since she did not do so, there probably had been something wrong with her health earlier on.
At this time.
Yu Zhongjing finished the body examination. He put away the stethoscope and got up. “There’s a problem. Come to my hospital to do a thorough examination first.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes suddenly became darker and he looked at Lu Yi. “Prepare the helicopter.”
Yu Zhongjing’s hospital was in the center of the city, so driving there would take time.
Lu San responded respectfully, “Yes.”
He took out his phone immediately and made a phone call.
Yu Zhongjing glanced at Lu Xiwei who was beside him and he took a deep breath to control his emotions. “If you had not messed with the medicine that Gu Mang prescribed to Old Madam back then, she never would have needed that operation.”
She was elderly and her condition was rather severe. Yet, she had to undergo craniotomy. It was a risky procedure. Only Gu Mang dared to perform it.
Until now, Old Madam was able to survive for another year. She had already tried her best.
When Lu Chengzhou heard Yu Zhongjing, his eyes became dark.
All eyes were on Lu Xiwei. The pressure felt like a knife slicing into her slowly. She did not dare to look up and she pinched her fingers. She could not stop shaking and she did not dare to utter a single word.
There was a helipad behind the Lu residence and the helicopter was quickly arranged. Old Madam was flown to the hospital. The rest of the Lu family drove over.
Second Old Master Lu sat in the back seat. “Xiwei, how is your grandmother’s condition?”
Before Yu Zhongjing arrived, Lu Xiwei had examined Old Madam and provided first aid.
Old Madam was in very bad condition.
Lu Xiwei glanced at Second Old Master Lu and shook her head. “Granny cannot withstand another operation. I don’t know how much longer she can hold on for.”
