Chapter 16

Zhang Rong's condition has taken a turn for the worse. After the thrombolysis, Zhang Rong's condition had improved significantly, but something happened at the hospital today.

Ji Xia, Zhang Rong's daughter, was originally supposed to get married during National Day, but with Zhang Rong's illness, they would have to spend a lot of money.

"Ji Xia, don't be angry. My parents actually don't have a big issue with it. They are just worried that our wedding might not proceed as planned," Ji Xia's boyfriend, Luo Haocheng, said.

"Haocheng, don't lie to me. We took the money we prepared for our wedding to treat my mother's illness, and your parents are now very upset, right? This morning, when I saw them, their faces were darker than ever. Moreover, my mother is in such a state, and they should at least come to visit, right? But they haven't even called. Actually, I know that from the beginning, your parents didn't really approve of our marriage. Now they oppose it even more. Haocheng, what do you think? If you regret it now, it's still in time. Otherwise, if we get married and then regret it later, it won't be good for either of us," Ji Xia said.

"Ji Xia, do you think I'm the kind of person who would do that? I truly like you, whether your family is poor or rich. I have decided to love only you for the rest of my life. Regarding your mother's illness, I am also very sad. But in life, who doesn't get sick or have some misfortune? My parents are looking at this from my perspective and are only considering my well-being. But no matter what they think, I won't let you go. Ji Xia, you have to trust me," Luo Haocheng said, a bit anxiously.

"Haocheng, I know your character, which is why I don't want to drag you down. Look at my mother's condition. How can I get married in such a situation? My mother's illness will require a lot of money, and although there is rural insurance, the reimbursement is limited. So, this wedding might not happen. I want to use the money to treat my mother. Don't worry, I won't touch your share. Go back and tell your parents that I will find a way to solve my mother's problem. Haocheng, a love without the blessing of elders won't bring happiness. You should forget about me," Ji Xia said.

Luo Haocheng grabbed Ji Xia's hand: "Have you forgotten our past vows? How could I leave you in such a time?"

"Ah! You came out?"

Luo Haocheng and Ji Xia turned around and saw that Zhang Rong had come out, supported by a nurse. Zhang Rong's condition seemed off, and her body was weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ji Xia was panicked, tears streaming down her face.

"Auntie!" Luo Haocheng also rushed over.

It turned out that Zhang Rong had wanted to go to the toilet and had overheard her daughter and future son-in-law's conversation. Upon hearing that her illness might cancel her daughter's wedding, Zhang Rong became extremely anxious, and her condition, which had been under control, worsened immediately.

When Qin Chuan arrived at the ward, Zhang Rong was already unable to speak. Ji Xia was extremely sad and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Family members, please step outside. Don't interfere with the doctors' efforts to save the patient," the nurse said as soon as she saw Qin Chuan arrive.

"What happened?" Qin Chuan asked.

"She was fine just a moment ago. When I came, she had gotten out of bed. When I saw her, she was already in a bad state. It's really frustrating. She had just started to improve, and now this," said Chen Hongping, a pretty nurse with long eyelashes and big, expressive eyes.

Although Qin Chuan had only been in the emergency department for a short time, he had performed CPR many times. With the increasing number of patients with cardiovascular and respiratory issues, CPR had become a crucial skill in saving lives. CPR is not a very complex technique; ordinary people can learn it with a little training, but few in China know how to perform it.

Fortunately, the respiratory department had more complete equipment than the emergency department, as they often encountered patients with cardiac arrest. Today, most of the doctors had already left, and the on-duty doctor was still eating. Fortunately, Qin Chuan had eaten early, as the emergency department must be manned 24/7.

Throughout the resuscitation process, Qin Chuan remained very calm.

Outside the ward, Ji Xia and Luo Haocheng were extremely regretful. They both understood that Zhang Rong's condition had worsened mainly because she had overheard their conversation. Perhaps, feeling that they had been gone for too long, Zhang Rong had come out of the ward to check, and coincidentally heard their conversation.

At that moment, Zhang Rong must have felt that living was a burden, and that her death might allow her daughter to be free.

Doctors fear patients who lack the will to live. Such patients, even if their condition is not severe, can quickly deteriorate. Treating illness is not a one-sided effort by the doctor; the patient and their family play a crucial role in recovery. Some patients with advanced cancer can live for a long time, surpassing medical expectations, while others die quickly. The reason is the difference in their mindset.

"It's all my fault. My mother has done so much for me. When she fell ill, not only could I not take good care of her, but I also made her condition worse," Ji Xia was very remorseful.

"Xia, it's all my fault. Don't blame yourself. I said before, no matter what difficulties we face, I will be with you, and we will face them together," Luo Haocheng said.

"No, Haocheng, you should go. I know you care for me, but I have made my decision. Let's break up!" Ji Xia said.

"No! We made a vow. No matter what difficulties we face, we will not abandon each other," Luo Haocheng said.

"You two, stop making so much noise outside. It's affecting the patient's resuscitation. Do you know what you're doing? The patient had just started to improve. Can't you discuss your issues later? Why do you have to argue here? The patient's condition is your responsibility!" Chen Hongping, hearing the commotion, came out, clearly displeased.

"Haocheng, you should go first," Ji Xia said calmly in a low voice.

Luo Haocheng shook his head but, seeing Ji Xia's determined look, said, "Xia, I'll go out first. I'll come back when Auntie gets better."

Luo Haocheng didn't dare to go far; he hid nearby, worried that if Zhang Rong didn't make it, Ji Xia wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Doctor Qin, how is the situation?" Chen Hongping asked.

"This patient was resuscitated by me when she first came to the hospital. It took a lot of effort to save her. Why did you let her get into this state again?" Qin Chuan still remembered Zhang Rong, as she was the source of his first merit value.

Qin Chuan listed a series of medications, and Chen Hongping immediately administered them. Fortunately, the patient already had an IV line, and the medications were routine, so Chen Hongping quickly injected them.

Qin Chuan was drenched in sweat, and the patient finally showed signs of a spontaneous heartbeat, but it was still unstable. Qin Chuan couldn't stop.
