Bab 1575: Prepare for the Worst

"We already performed lifesaving surgery on the old madam," the doctor continued. "We managed to prevent further damage to her heart, brain, and other organs, but all of these have taken a toll on the patient's already fragile health. Basically, all we can do now is monitor her and wait for her to wake up. The longer she stays unconscious, the more dangerous her condition will become. My team and I will do our best to save the old madam, but at the end of the day, we aren't gods. Please prepare yourself for the worst."

Grandpa Lu grabbed Jin Liwei's arm to prevent himself from falling over. Despite his speech about having a broader, deeper appreciation of life during their helicopter ride earlier, hearing about the extent of his friend's critical condition was enough to take his breath away.

Jin Liwei held on to Grandpa Lu, helping to stabilize the old man while also drawing strength from him. He closed his eyes and took a few deep, shaky breaths.
