Chapitre 229: Keeping Him Alive

Alexander still remembered the day, how years ago the doctors declared the patient as brain-dead. After repeated surgeries, they said he was as good as dead, but Alexander spent enough money for them to keep the patient on ventilators.

A few months later, the hospital authorities suggested it was useless to keep the brain-dead person on a life-supporting system for so long because it wouldn't magically bring him back to life. They came with a reasonable explanation that the medical equipment would help another needy patient more than the one declared physically dead.

Beyond everything, it was legal for the doctors to declare the brain-dead person as dead. Though Alexander was aware of it, he still couldn't stomach the news.
