Chapter 747: They Were All Family
This was a patient report and Ye Snr.’s current condition was detailed on that report.
The doctor looked at his family and paused for a moment before he said, “I have gathered all of you here so that you could discuss amongst yourselves and come to a conclusion. Mr. Ye’s condition is very serious and his cancer has already spread to his lungs, liver, and other organs. In addition, his organs are showing signs of failing and there’s a problem with his heart. The two heart specialists who checked on him have both reported that his heart valves have stiffened.”
“Why don’t you tell us when is he going for surgery?” Ye Yi snapped back in irritation. He didn’t need to listen to the doctor chatter on about his father’s illness since they all knew how serious his condition was. Didn’t the doctor call them all in to sign off on some documentation?
Xia Jingshu broke down in tears when she saw the report. She slumped down onto a chair and looked as though her soul had left her.
The doctor sighed and thought for a moment before he said, “All the doctors who had checked on his condition earlier held a meeting, so this is something that we must communicate to his family. Ye Snr.’s condition is very serious and his body is extremely weak. Coupled with his heart problem, this means that his body would not be able to handle an operation and another round of chemotherapy.”
Ye Hao stepped forward and his deep frown reflected the worry he felt inside.
“What should we do?” he asked.
He was worried about his father but he was more worried about his mother because he could tell how upset she seemed.
The doctor’s face was grim as he said, “I would suggest a preventive treatment. We would not suggest an operation nor chemotherapy. Moreover, Ye Snr. might pass away any day now, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
The doctor handed a treatment proposal to Ye Hao.
However, after he passed the proposal to Ye Hao, another hand shot out and snatched this document away.
“I want my dad to be transferred to another hospital,” Ye Yi said loudly.
What did the doctor mean by saying that his father would pass away anytime soon? His dad had been perfectly fine a few days ago. They had even eaten and gone fishing together, so how could his father be on the verge of death now? He refused to accept it.
Ye Zhe and Ye Shiyu also shook their heads. They were all blood siblings, children who were borne by Shen Lu for Ye Snr.
They chose to support their brother Ye Yi.
“Yes, my dad should be transferred. Please arrange for an ambulance to send my dad to another hospital,” Ye Zhe said.
He hadn’t said anything since he arrived at the hospital, neither did he look too upset. He had never been on good terms with his father and his father had never treated him well since he was a child, so they didn’t share a deep bond. He didn’t care when his father would pass away but he only wanted to know whether there was a possibility of increasing his inheritance.
The doctor sighed. They were helpless when it came to such patients. Although they were all highly-skilled doctors, they couldn’t do anything about a patient who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
“Mr. Ye, Madam Ye, do you agree with their proposal?” the doctor asked as he looked at Ye Hao, then at Xia Jingshu.
Tears were streaming down Xia Jingshu’s face and she was so upset that she couldn’t even speak clearly.
“Is there really no hope for him?” she asked, her voice quavering.
The doctor did not respond immediately but merely heaved another sigh. He didn’t know how to respond to such a question either.
Ye Hao gently patted his mother’s shoulder and comforted her.
Then, another doctor entered.
