The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 745: Ye Snr.’s Illness Relapsed (2)

Xia Jingshu shook her head sadly. She knew exactly how bad her husband’s condition was and ever since the first half of the year, his health had rapidly deteriorated every day. He was only still alive because he had taken the most expensive imported medication around, and this also gave the illusion that he looked healthy when in fact, he was already on the brink of death.

A doctor walked out from the consultation room and he looked at Xia Jingshu, then at Ye Hao before he said, “You must be the patient’s family.”

The doctor stated the obvious. His expression seemed serious and looked a little grim.

Xia Jingshu said, “Yes, I am.”

The doctor continued, “You must be prepared for the worst. The outlook for Ye Snr. doesn’t seem so good. His cancer has already spread across his entire body and his heart is also starting to fail. A heart specialist is performing an emergency consultation at the moment.”

“Is there still hope for him?” Xia Jingshu was so anxious that she gripped the doctor’s hand tightly, her hands trembling in fear.

Her heart also quivered in terror.

The doctor sighed and after some thought, he finally said, “We’ll only know after the other specialists have checked on him. However, based on the current situation, surgery is out of the question, so you have to be prepared for the worst and help him with the paperwork to admit him to the hospital.”

The doctor then went into the emergency room, leaving behind a worried and terrified Xia Jingshu.

Ye Hao was also sad and sorrowful but his feelings were not enough to get him overly emotional.

Several hours later, Ye Snr. was transferred to the best VIP ward available in this hospital. This room was almost 100 square meters and also had two adjacent guest rooms.

The hospital arranged for the doctors to work in shifts, so there was always a doctor in the ward.

Ye Snr. had regained consciousness. His eyes were slightly opened while his face was completely devoid of all color.

The monitor by his bedside showed his current heartbeat, pulse rate, blood pressure, and other data. These stats were all stable; the only issue was that his blood pressure was on the low side.

He was still very weak but because he had been given painkillers, he could not feel any pain. However, once the effects of the painkillers wore off, he would be in extreme pain.

Xia Jingshu gripped her husband’s hand anxiously and cried till her eyes were already swollen.

“Zhiyuan, you must get better, do you understand?” Xia Jingshu said as she wiped her tears from her face.

The doctor quickly motioned for her to stop speaking the moment she started to speak because Ye Snr. had only just come to and was so weak that he couldn’t afford to become too emotional.

Several hours later.

Many members of the Ye family had arrived – Ye Yi and his spouse, Ye Zhe and his new girlfriend, a famous local movie star, Ye Shiyu, and other relatives from the Ye family were all present, so there were more than 10 people in the room.

Ye Snr.’s mother was also present. At the ripe old age of 95, she leaned weakly against her walking stick.

Her swollen eyes clearly reflected her sorrow. Due to her age, she had buried many of her children over the past few years. She felt extremely sorrowful whenever she had to bury her children, and Ye Zhiyuan was her favorite child.

She knew that her son had a terminal disease but she only wanted him to live a little longer. She didn’t expect her child’s disease to relapse even before she had passed on.

Everyone from the Ye family looked extremely grave. They were worried and didn’t know who’d look after their interests after Ye Snr. passed away. Ye Snr. would always given them a generous bonuses while he was alive.

After Ye Snr. passed on, they didn’t know whether Ye Hao, who didn’t grow up in the family nor had a good relationship with them, would treat them well.
