The Zhou family had been entirely built up by Zhou Guotao single-handedly.
Countless intricate relationships were all closely tied to Zhou Guotao.
If the entire Zhou family were compared to a towering skyscraper,
then Zhou Guotao was the foundation of that skyscraper.
If something went wrong with the foundation, the entire skyscraper might collapse in an instant.
This was... definitely something the members of the Zhou family could hardly bear.
Everyone's mood was heavy to the extreme.
Zhou Zishan's face was even paler than a sheet.
She had gone out with her grandfather, yet her grandfather...
Tears fell heavily like raindrops, pattering down.
The atmosphere in the entire hallway was exceptionally stifling.
"Doctor, is there really no other way?" Zhou Zhen asked with difficulty.
The bald doctor was silent for a moment, then said, "For now, there is no better way."
Zhou Zhen took another deep breath and said, "Alright, I understand."
After speaking, he prepared to walk toward the hospital room.
He wanted to accompany Zhou Guotao one last time.
At that moment, Lin Fan, who had been standing at the back and hadn't spoken the entire time, finally piped up, "Perhaps I can save Grandpa Zhou."
As soon as those words were said, Zhou Zhen abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Everyone in the Zhou family simultaneously focused their gazes on Lin Fan.
Meanwhile, the face of Liu Yuhang beside Lin Fan turned instantly pale.
By now, the doctor had already stated that Zhou Guotao could not be treated.
Yet Lin Fan claimed he could save him.
If he really could save him, that would naturally be a great thing.
However, the problem was, was it even possible? Lin Fan was merely a peer of his own age! The Zhou family had barely managed not to blame Zhou Guotao's sudden illness on him.
If the treatment went wrong, the consequences... would truly be too terrifying!
After a brief, anxious train of thought, sweat instantly covered Liu Yuhang's forehead.
He opened his mouth, seeming to want Lin Fan to take back what he had just said.
However, stared at by the members of the Zhou family, he couldn't get a word out at all.
Zhou Zhen turned around, walked slowly up to Lin Fan, and asked, "Can you save Old Master?"
"I can try. Of course, I don't have absolute certainty either," Lin Fan said.
He was prepared to collect the Centennial Ginseng so he would gain the authority to purchase medical water.
However, he wasn't sure whether the medical water could actually cure Zhou Guotao.
He could only say he would give it a try.
As for why Lin Fan decided to step in...
First, because when they were drinking earlier, he felt Zhou Guotao was a decent person.
Second, because when the auction ended, Zhou Guotao had stepped forward to wave off Wan Lang, which could be considered doing him a small favor.
"Then I'll trouble you," Zhou Zhen said.
"You trust me?" Lin Fan said.
"I trust Old Master's judgment!" Zhou Zhen said.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "When I am treating Grandpa Zhou, there must be no other people or monitoring equipment in the room."
"Alright," Zhou Zhen nodded.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Old Master only has a few hours left now. What if... what if he doesn't even get to see us for the last time?"
Lin Fan said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come out within an hour."
With that, he strode toward the VIP ward.
"Thud!"
As the ward door made a soft sound, the atmosphere in the entire hallway grew heavy once more.
Lin Fan looked at Zhou Guotao, who was lying in the hospital bed with tubes stuck all over his body and had fallen into a coma, and let out an inner sigh.
Next, Lin Fan took the Centennial Ginseng out of his pocket.
Ding! Collect Centennial Ginseng?
"Yes!"
Instantly, the ginseng lying in his hand vanished.
At the same time, next to the ganoderma pattern in the medical water illustration within his mind, a ginseng pattern appeared.
Ding! Obtained medical water purchase authority.
Medical Water: A miraculous potion that can repair all human injuries upon oral administration, 10 million yuan per vial.
"Purchase!"
The next instant, a transparent solution of about 50ml appeared in Lin Fan's hand.
Lin Fan muttered softly, "I hope this works."
Having said that, he slowly poured the medical water into Zhou Guotao's mouth.
Then, he stared intently at Zhou Guotao's changes.
Lin Fan was also filled with curiosity and anxiety regarding the effects of the medical water.
After all, he was planning to let his father take a vial as well.
1 minute.
3 minutes.
5 minutes.
Originally, the electrocardiogram next to Zhou Guotao only showed faint, weak undulations up and down, but it quickly turned into large, sweeping waves.
Immediately following that, a flush of ruddy color gradually appeared on his withered, sallow old face.
When about 30 minutes had passed, Zhou Guotao, who had been in a continuous coma, finally opened his eyes.
First, he dazedly glanced around his surroundings, and then he slowly sat up.
Outside the hallway.
As time passed, more and more members of the Zhou family rushed to the hospital.
They were all like ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the corridor with faces full of anxiety.
In fact, not only were they anxious, even the usually calm Zhou Zhen was the same.
"Tap, tap!"
At that moment, an elderly man with graying hair, supported by two people, also arrived in the corridor.
Zhou Zhen hurried forward to greet him, saying, "Hello, Second Great-Uncle."
"How is your father doing now? I heard a young man went inside to save him?" the old man asked.
Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Old Master thinks very highly of him."
The old man nodded, a pair of murky eyes staring fixedly at the hospital room filled with worry.
"Tap, tap!"
Another burst of footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Someone called out, "Miracle Doctor Wan is here!"
"It's Miracle Doctor Wan!"
Hearing this, the members of the Zhou family all wore looks of excitement.
Miracle Doctor Wan, whose real name was Wan Qingyun, was one of the most famous miraculous doctors in Huaxia.
"Elder Wan, sorry to trouble you for making a special trip here," Zhou Zhen walked up and said.
Wan Qingyun said, "Old Master Zhou and I are friends of many years. Now that he is gravely ill, how could I not come? Quickly take me to see Old Master."
Zhou Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Earlier, a... friend went in to treat Old Master, and he doesn't allow anyone to disturb him."
Wan Qingyun asked in confusion, "A friend? What kind of person?"
"I'm not too familiar with him either, but Old Master thinks very highly of him. He has already been inside for over half an hour, saying he would come out within an hour," Zhou Zhen said.
"Is that so?" Wan Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Show me Old Master Zhou's latest check-up results first."
A doctor hurriedly handed over a thick stack of medical records.
The next moment, Wan Qingyun's pupils contracted as he exclaimed in shock, "What? Old Master's condition has reached this point? No! I must go inside immediately!"
Seeing Wan Qingyun's intense reaction, Zhou Zhen's heart tightened. No longer caring about Lin Fan's demand not to be disturbed, he led Wan Qingyun in a large stride toward the ward door.
Although Lin Fan indeed possessed an extraordinary temperament,
he was simply too young, and Zhou Zhen didn't dare to completely entrust Old Master to him.
If they missed the optimal treatment time for Old Master because of this, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.
"Creeak!"
At that moment, the ward door suddenly opened on its own.
