"Husband, aren't you angry?"
Wang Yuyan was pondering how to approach Shen Lang and ask him to save her uncle. She hadn't expected Shen Lang to offer to help proactively, which touched her and sparked her curiosity.
"If I were angry, I wouldn't be saving anyone. If I don't save him, your uncle will be in mortal danger."
Shen Lang looked at his wife and smiled, "Do you want me to be angry, or do you want me to let him die?"
"Husband..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan was stunned.
"Haha, alright. Although I don't like your uncle and his family, and I think they're all peculiar oddities, they are your relatives after all. How could I stand by and do nothing?"
Shen Lang gently kissed Wang Yuyan's forehead and said, "Saving a life is more important than any inner displeasure, so don't dwell on it. Let's go save him right now."
"Husband, thank you."
Feeling Shen Lang's deep love, Wang Yuyan was deeply moved.
Soon, Jin Yulan sent the address to Wang Yuyan's WeChat. Following the address, Shen Lang drove Wang Yuyan to the hospital.
Interestingly, the hospital where Luo Dongyang was admitted was the same one where Song Qingyi had been treated for snake venom, and it even had an ICU.
Upon receiving the address, Shen Lang quickly drove Wang Yuyan to the hospital and then to the ICU ward.
"Yuyan, you're here?"
Seeing Wang Yuyan, Jin Yulan, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, stood up and called out.
"Auntie, how is Uncle's condition?"
In the ward, Luo Dongyang was connected to many tubes, with a medical instrument beside him. Wang Yuyan, being knowledgeable in medicine, could tell from the data that Luo Dongyang was in critical condition. Yet, she couldn't help but ask.
She didn't know how else to break the sad and oppressive atmosphere.
"Your uncle just came off the operating table. The doctor said his internal bleeding has been temporarily stopped, but he is weaker than ever. His condition is very dangerous. If he doesn't wake up, he'll either become a vegetable or..."
Jin Yulan didn't finish her sentence. She knew that even without her saying it, the intelligent Wang Yuyan could guess.
"Yuyan, your family is in Nanling, and your grandfather is quite influential. He must know many renowned doctors. Could you ask him to find some famous doctors? Your uncle really cannot die."
As Wang Yuyan's face paled, Jin Yulan grabbed her hands, her voice filled with emotion, "Yuyan, I know Uncle's situation is critical, so I brought Shen Lang. His medical skills are top-notch in this world. With him here, he can definitely cure Uncle. So please don't worry yet."
"What?"
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Jin Yulan became angry instead of pleased. "Yuyan, it's this time, and you're still messing around? Don't you know your uncle's life is hanging by a thread? How can you be so careless?"
"This kid is just a nobody. What does he know about medicine? Do you want your uncle to die by having him treat him at this time?"
Jin Yulan was furious, "Yuyan, your uncle and I watched you grow up. Although we haven't been very good to you all these years, we at least don't have any deep hatred. Why are you retaliating against us like this?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan quickly replied, "Auntie, I truly don't have any such intentions. I also wish for Uncle's safety. You must believe me, and believe in Shen Lang. His medical skills can definitely cure Uncle."
"Enough—"
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Luo Xiaobai, who had been silent, exclaimed, "Wang Yuyan, I've always thought you were an ungrateful wretch, and now I see you truly are. You didn't come here to save my dad today, but to watch him die, right?"
"My dad doted on you so much, and you turn out to be such an ungrateful wretch. Get out, and take your nobody husband with you."
"Cousin, how can you say that? It's already this time. You have to believe me. If there's anyone in this world who can save Uncle, it's my husband, Shen Lang."
Wang Yuyan hadn't expected her aunt and cousin to react so strongly, but she didn't give up, saying, "Who said that with such arrogance?"
Just as Wang Yuyan finished speaking, the ward door was pushed open, and two elderly doctors in white coats entered. One of them, an elder wearing gold-rimmed glasses, spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Professor Tang, Professor Li, you've arrived?"
Seeing the newcomers, Jin Yulan forced a smile and said.
"Auntie, who are they?"
Wang Yuyan didn't recognize the two people but saw how polite Jin Yulan was to them. She quickly asked.
"Humph—"
Hearing Wang Yuyan's question, Jin Yulan let out a cold snort and replied indignantly, "Since Miss Wang is unwilling to help us find a doctor, we can only find them ourselves. These two are the best internal medicine doctors in Nanling, Professor Tang Pingfan and Professor Qi Zhi Lu."
After responding with displeasure to Wang Yuyan, Jin Yulan turned to the two elderly doctors and said, "Professor Tang, Professor Qi, you must save my husband, please."
"Mrs. Luo, rest assured, we will do our best."
The two elderly doctors smiled slightly and replied.
They had been called back from an academic exchange conference at another hospital. They hadn't seen the patient yet, but being top internal medicine doctors, they were confident in their abilities.
"Good, we'll have to trouble you then."
Jin Yulan couldn't reach Qin Yanluo, so she had to rely on them. After all, these two were prominent figures in Nanling's medical community, having saved countless patients. Now, Jin Yulan could only place her hopes on them.
Compared to Jin Yulan's urgency, Professors Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhi Lu remained remarkably calm. They walked to Luo Dongyang's bedside step by step and carefully examined his condition.
They were both seasoned doctors with extensive clinical experience, and they always trusted their own eyes more than written medical records or data from instruments.
They examined him thoroughly. After a long while, they both looked at Jin Yulan and said in unison, "Madam, we are sorry, but we cannot save this patient. There's no need to seek further help. You should prepare for the funeral."
"What?"
Jin Yulan was beside herself with agitation. "Why?"
The two elderly doctors replied together, "It's very simple. The patient's internal organs have all failed. Even an immortal couldn't save him."
