Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
The convalescent room fell into silence.
Only the faint, rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor remained.
Shen Qingyan composed herself and began massaging her mother.
Though the caregiver performed a massage once daily, Shen Qingyan still did it herself every time she visited.
"What's Auntie's condition? What caused her to become a vegetative state?" Tang Chen broke the silence, asking.
"The cause is brain damage from a cerebral hemorrhage."
Shen Qingyan continued her movements without pause, replying, "It's not impossible to treat, but as far as I know, the only surgeon in the world capable of performing that operation is the internationally renowned brain surgeon, Elnerford."
At that, her movements froze slightly, and she shook her head. "I've contacted him many times, but his secretary always tells me his schedule is too full—it's not a matter of money..."
As she spoke, Her sorrow began to spread again.
It was a kind of self-blame.
A helpless self-reproach...
Knowing there was a way to cure her mother, yet lacking the ability herself, powerless to act.
Tang Chen walked over to her, patted her frail shoulder, and said softly, "Don't be sad. Leave it all to me, okay?"
Shen Qingyan looked up at Tang Chen.
Her tear-filled eyes made one's heart tremble, and she nodded gently.
Tang Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Liu An.
Before long, Liu An replied.
After checking the content of the message, Tang Chen put away his phone and said to Shen Qingyan, "Let's first transfer Auntie to Tianyuan Sanatorium Hospital for a full examination."
"Once the results are out, we can discuss the surgery."
"They can provide better care and recovery for Auntie there."
"Tianyuan Sanatorium?"
Shen Qingyan was puzzled.
She had never heard of the place.
"The sanatorium is in Magic City. It's a private facility with comprehensive amenities, perfect for Auntie to receive better rest and treatment."
Tang Chen explained, "I've already arranged everything. The sanatorium has sent a car to pick her up."
"Just pack up a few things. I'll have someone handle the rest here."
"Okay."
Shen Qingyan nodded.
Before long, The car from Tianyuan Sanatorium arrived.
With highly professional patient transfer equipment, Mother Shen was moved into the van. Shen Qingyan and Tang Chen followed in their own car, and soon they arrived at a large sanatorium.
It wasn't far from the city center. Shen Qingyan was surprised she hadn't known such a large sanatorium existed here.
As the car drove into the grounds, The environment left Shen Qingyan stunned.
It was too luxurious.
Calling it a sanatorium was an understatement—it might as well have been a high-end resort.
And when she entered the building housing the convalescent wards, Shen Qingyan was even more dazzled.
All kinds of high-tech medical equipment.
It likely rivaled, or even surpassed, the major public hospitals in Magic City in terms of facilities.
"Mrs. Tang, this sanatorium is under the Tianyuan Medical Machinery Group, so the facilities are quite comprehensive."
The van driver, following behind Tang Chen and Shen Qingyan, noticed her amazement and explained with a smile.
Tianyuan Medical Machinery Group?
No wonder!
Shen Qingyan thought to herself.
Tianyuan was a world-leading name in the medical device manufacturing industry, so it was no surprise that their sanatorium was on this scale.
The dean had been their driver?! That wasn't something you could pull off just by having connections in the country! Chapter 2, please bookmark!
Several nurses wheeled the bed carrying Mother Shen, leading Tang Chen and the others to the top-floor ward.
The ward was spacious, filled with greenery. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving no corner of the room in shadow.
The open, airy environment gave an incredibly fresh feeling at first glance.
Mother Shen's original sanatorium had already been considered decent.
But compared to this place, it was like heaven and earth apart.
Just then, a middle-aged nurse walked over. Her name badge displayed her title.
Head Nurse.
Under her lead, several nurses began carefully transferring Mother Shen to the hospital bed, then connecting various medical monitoring devices.
Once everything was done, the Head Nurse walked up to Shen Qingyan and the others.
"Dean, everything is settled. All of the patient's readings are normal!"
Dean?
Who was the dean?
Shen Qingyan was stunned.
"Good, you may go."
And then.
Shen Qingyan heard a voice behind her. Turning around, it was none other than the driver of the minibus!
Her beautiful eyes widened, utterly astonished.
The dean of this massive sanatorium had been driving them around?!
This...
The Head Nurse led the nurses away.
Only Tang Chen, Shen Qingyan, and Dean Zheng Lin remained in the ward.
"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, you can rest a hundred percent assured leaving your mother here. In every aspect, across the entire country, if we say we're second, no one dares claim first." Zheng Lin patted his chest as he spoke.
"Dean Zheng, I appreciate the trouble," Tang Chen nodded in thanks.
"Mr. Tang, you're too kind. Serving you and your family is our honor." Zheng Lin smiled and waved a hand. "Mr. Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and arrange your mother's brain examination."
"Alright."
Tang Chen nodded.
After Zheng Lin left.
Tang Chen turned around and met Shen Qingyan's gaze.
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Qingyan beat him to it, saying softly, "I know. You have shares in this sanatorium too."
Tang Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Shen Qingyan's statement could be considered correct.
The only slight deviation was.
Tang Chen didn't have shares in just this sanatorium.
But in the entire Tianyuan Medical Machinery Group behind it!
Before long.
Zheng Lin returned.
He began taking Mother Shen through a series of examinations.
The results were roughly the same as those from the hospital earlier, just more detailed and specific.
