Chapter 649: It Feels Like I'm Dreaming

Cola Novels: turn the page and you're in another world.

At the hospital, Zou Jin kept comforting her mother, Zeng Liping, who was lying in the hospital bed: "Mom, if you feel unwell, just tell me."

Zeng Liping shook her head weakly. She had just received a painkiller injection and was feeling much better now.

She asked, "Did your uncle say when he'd come again?"

When Zeng Liping asked about her uncle, Zou Jin replied, "My uncle said he went to contact a doctor for you, and we should have news soon, so don't worry."

Zeng Liping suddenly grabbed Zou Jin's hand, pleading through tears, "Save Mom, I don't want to die!"

Zou Jin couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down her face. She covered her mouth, trying to keep her sobs quiet so as not to disturb the other patients in the ward.

At this moment, Zou Jin's husband, Su Zhicheng, returned to the ward. Seeing that both mother and daughter were crying, he quickly took a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to his wife.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Zou Jin wiped away her tears, pulled Su Zhicheng onto the balcony, and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Su Zhicheng went to the doctor's office to learn about Zeng Liping's treatment plan. He relayed the doctor's words to Zou Jin: "The doctor said that the conditions for surgery are not yet met. The ascites needs to be treated first, and then her body needs to be recuperated before surgery can be performed. The doctor also said..."

Seeing Su Zhicheng hesitate, Zou Jin grew impatient: "What else did the doctor say? Tell me quickly!"

"The doctor said I might not make it to the day of the surgery," Su Zhicheng said through gritted teeth.

Although Zou Jin was mentally prepared, she immediately lost her balance when she heard Su Zhicheng say the doctor's diagnosis.

Su Zhicheng was prepared and quickly helped Zou Jin up when he saw the situation was not good. Zou Jin's tears flowed again. She was very scared and felt very helpless. At present, the only hospitals that could prolong her mother's life were in Shanghai and Beijing. She now placed her greatest hope on her uncle, but she was not sure. After all, she knew a little about the grudges between her mother and her aunts and uncles.

That evening, Zou Jin, who was extremely anxious, finally received her uncle Zeng Jiahua, who was accompanied by a young man in his thirties.

Upon seeing Zeng Jiahua, Zou Jin cried out as if she had found a lifeline: "Uncle!"

"How is your mother?" Zeng Jiahua asked Zeng Liping directly, without bothering with pleasantries.

Zou Jin glanced into the ward: "Not good. She had a painkiller injection at noon, drank some porridge for dinner, and is asleep now."

Zeng Jiahua informed Zou Jin in advance: "The doctor will be here soon. He will examine your mother first. If your mother is still able to manage, we will go to Hong Kong for treatment."

At this moment, Su Zhicheng stepped forward and greeted Zeng Jiahua: "Uncle!" Then he nodded to the young man who came with Zeng Jiahua as a greeting.

Zeng Jiahua said, "Xiao Su, you've worked hard!"

Before Zou Jin could process what Zeng Jiahua had just told her, she thought she had misheard and asked again, "Uncle, you just said you were going to Hong Kong?"

Zeng Jiahua affirmed, "Your cousin has made all the arrangements for going to Hong Kong. The plane is already at the airport and can take off at any time. It just depends on your mother's health."

Cousin? A plane? Taking off anytime? Not only was Zou Jin bewildered, but Su Zhicheng was also completely confused. What was going on? How much would this cost?

It's no wonder Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng were bewildered. Their family had lost contact with their aunt, uncle, and maternal grandmother for a long time, and the families lived thousands of miles apart. Moreover, Zou Jin and her sister Zou Dan had never met Huang Xiaochuan. Even their mother, Zeng Liping, had only met Huang Xiaochuan twice when he was a child. After Zou Jin got married and Huang Xiaochuan got married, they had no contact. So many years had passed, and they didn't even know what Huang Xiaochuan looked like. To put it bluntly, Zeng Liping only remembered Huang Xiaochuan's nickname (Little Monkey) and had even forgotten his full name, let alone the Zou Jin and Zou Dan sisters. Naturally, they had no idea that their family had a relative who was Asia's richest man.

Before Zeng Jiahua could explain the situation to Zou Jin and her husband, Gao Song, who had come with Zeng Jiahua, said, "Ms. Zou, Mr. Su, do you have your ID cards with you, and Ms. Zeng's as well? Please give them to me so I can process your emergency entry procedures."

Zou Jin looked at Gao Song with suspicion, wondering who this person was. She then turned to look at Zeng Jiahua.

Zeng Jiahua understood his niece's meaning and said, "This is your cousin's assistant, Gao Song. Just do as he says, and we can set off as early as tomorrow."

Upon hearing Zeng Jiahua's words, Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng, the couple, rummaged through their bags to find the three people's ID cards while looking at Gao Song with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.

After the couple handed their ID cards to Gao Song, Gao Song left in a hurry. Only then did Zeng Jiahua say to the young couple, "This is your cousin's assistant. You haven't met your cousin before, so you don't have any impression of him. You'll know once you meet him."

Upon hearing this, the couple couldn't help but become very curious about their cousin, whom they had never met before. Hong Kong, assistant, hospital, treatment—these things, when put together, made even the most oblivious couple realize that this cousin was no ordinary person.

At this time, the doctors and emergency team from Hong Kong had arrived at the hospital. Since they had already contacted the hospital in Shanghai, Zeng Liping's examination report was immediately handed over to the two hepatobiliary surgeons from Hong Kong.

After reviewing the medical records, they also found the situation very challenging. The patient's condition was not optimistic, and they proposed to meet with the patient to make a comprehensive assessment of the patient's current physical condition.

The group then arrived at the ward, where Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng were once again astonished. Since they brought Zeng Liping to the hospital, they had never seen so many doctors.

After a consultation with the attending physician at Shanghai Hai Hospital, it was determined that the patient's current condition was suitable for transfer to another hospital, and Shanghai Hai Hospital could provide convenience and assistance.

Dr. Liang Qigao, an attending physician in hepatobiliary surgery at Kangci Hospital, asked in broken Mandarin, "Are the patient's family members here?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Zou Jin quickly stepped forward: "I'm the patient's daughter!"

Liang Qigao explained some precautions and disclaimers to Zou Jin in accordance with regulations. After Zou Jin nodded in agreement, Liang Qigao had Zou Jin sign a series of documents in accordance with the regulations of Kangci Hospital. Shanghai Hospital also needed to complete some procedures.

The next day at noon, Gao Song, who had obtained an emergency entry permit, rushed to the hospital. Subsequently, Shanghai Hospital arranged a special ambulance to take Zeng Liping to the airport, with Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng accompanying her throughout the process.

After successfully boarding the plane, the couple looked at the luxurious interior and felt like they were dreaming. Then, seeing Zeng Liping lying on the specially made stretcher and the doctors and nurses, they realized that it was all real.

After the plane took off, the emergency team monitored Zeng Liping's vital signs throughout the flight, and Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng finally had a chance to catch their breath. Their eyes were on Gao Song sitting opposite them.
