Chapter 252 Call her Grandma
Chu Xiao looked at the unfamiliar caller ID on his phone screen and answered it directly.
"Hello, I am Chu Xiao."
“I am a doctor in the Intensive Care Unit of Beijing First People’s Hospital. Your father asked me to make this call. Grandma Chu’s condition is not optimistic. We are doing our best to save her. Please come as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao immediately stood up.
After saying "thank you" to the doctor, I grabbed my car keys and rushed out the door.
Fortunately, the road was clear late at night, and when he arrived at the intensive care unit, Director Wei was organizing the on-duty doctors and nurses to carry out the rescue.
Chu Jinhuai took care of everything, and he also had a relationship with Leng Shide.
The vacant single room in the intensive care unit was given to Grandma Chu by Director Wei.
Firstly, it would make it easier for Chu Jinhuai to take care of his grandmother, make up for his mistakes, and fulfill his filial duty.
Secondly, patients admitted to the intensive care unit have relatively low immunity, and having Chu Jinhuai in this private room can prevent the introduction of bacteria that could affect the condition of other patients.
At this moment, Chu Jinhuai was squatting by the door of Grandma Chu's ward, curled up in a ball, looking helpless and pitiful.
The ward door was tightly closed, clearly indicating that Chu Jinhuai was being kept out.
"how is the situation?"
Chu Jinhuai looked up from his arms, his red and swollen eyes staring at the clock on the wall.
"Forty-two minutes have passed."
Chu Xiao didn't say anything, but took out a lighter and cigarettes from his bag and handed them to Chu Jinhuai, saying, "Go out for some fresh air."
Chu Jinhuai was flattered and overwhelmed, his scarlet eyes filled with disbelief.
His son offered him a cigarette!
His son is concerned about him!
Chu Xiao avoided his burning gaze and said awkwardly, "I don't want Grandma to see that we don't get along."
Chu Jinhuai took the cigarette, ignoring his numb legs, and stood up. "Okay, I'll be right back."
Chu Xiao still didn't look at him.
Chu Jinhuai lied to him dozens of times, saying he would go and come back right away.
In the dark little house, he may have longed for his father's arrival.
But now, he doesn't care anymore.
As soon as Chu Jinhuai left, Chu Xiao squatted back down in the spot where Chu Jinhuai had been, silently waiting for the doctor to open the door and come out.
However, after things quieted down, the sound of Director Wei giving verbal medical orders clearly reached his ears.
It turns out that Chu Jinhuai could hear everything during the 42-minute rescue, which explains why his eyes were swollen from crying.
Serves you right! Why didn't you do this sooner?!
In the ward, after several injections of medication, Grandma still showed no response.
"Two-way wave, 200 joules, ready."
Dr. Wei's voice came through again.
Chu Xiao couldn't bear it.
My grandmother was abused by Huang Xiu'e before she died, and was even electrocuted when she was on her deathbed.
grandmother……
Chu Xiao silently called out in his heart.
If it's really difficult... don't force yourself.
He stood up, ready to go find Chu Jinhuai.
Chu Jinhuai had finished his cigarette and walked in carrying a bag containing his grandmother's favorite clothes, which he had kept in his car ever since his mother was hospitalized.
Chu Jinhuai came to Chu Xiao's side, and before Chu Xiao could speak, he said, "Let's give up."
Chu Xiao's throat tightened, making it extremely difficult to even utter a sound.
Even though he has made the decision, it is still very difficult for him to say "give up" in person.
He hesitated several times before finally saying, "I was just about to discuss this with you."
The two stood facing each other, and after a moment, Chu Jinhuai knocked on the door of the ward.
The satellite opened the door.
"Director Wei, we... have decided not to continue the resuscitation efforts."
Director Wei paused, his brows furrowed with apology.
"Please wait a moment while we pack up the equipment and needles. The old lady is still conscious and can hear us, but she can't respond. Please spend some of your last moments with her."
"Thank you, Director Wei, for troubling you to make this trip so late," Chu Jinhuai said gratefully.
As soon as the mother showed abnormal symptoms, the on-duty doctor called, and Director Wei quickly came to the bedside to take charge of the rescue.
The satellite remained silent; it couldn't afford to cause such trouble.
After the doctors and nurses left, Chu Jinhuai and Chu Xiao each stood on one side of Grandma Chu's bedside.
"Mom, I'm so useless. I neglected everything else and made you suffer."
"mom……"
Chu Jinhuai lay on his grandmother's hand, sobbing.
Chu Xiao held Grandma Chu's hand, which was bruised from IV drips and medical examinations.
"Grandma, don't worry, Sun will have a happy family and live a good life in the future. Jianda has me, and Shengyang has also helped me a lot. Tell Grandpa not to worry. You, Grandpa, and Mom should keep a close eye on him. I won't let anything happen to Jianda."
His grandmother's biggest worry about him was his future life, and he knew all of that.

"Chu Xiao?"
Hua Lan was on duty tonight and was having a happy dream in the break room.
In her dream, Chu Xiao beckoned her over.
She ran happily...
She was about to rush into Chu Xiao's arms in the next second.
The nurse suddenly called out to her, "Dr. Hua, Dr. Hua..."
Oh no, something's wrong!
Hua Lan instantly woke up, all her drowsiness gone.
"I'm coming!"
She responded by getting out of bed, putting on her white coat, and going to open the door.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"The intensive care unit called and asked you to come up. You need to come up right now."
"Did the teacher go upstairs?"
"Your teacher was sleeping and called you alone."
Hua Lan was puzzled. She didn't know any teachers in the intensive care unit, and her supervising teacher didn't have any patients staying in the intensive care unit. Why was she being asked to go up there?
She arrived at the intensive care unit with trepidation, but a rather comical-looking old man led her to the ward.
In her dream, Chu Xiao was sitting by the hospital bed. She thought she was seeing things and hadn't woken up yet.
He rubbed his eyes hard and found that it was still Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao heard her voice and uttered two words in a low, hoarse voice.
"come over."
Hua Lan thanked her uncle beside her before moving to stand in front of Chu Xiao.
"what happened?"
"Call her Grandma."
