Chapter 472: Chapter 198: Chemotherapy Is Fierce as a Tiger—A Misstep Leads to the Grave

Lu Xuan looked at his mom, Lin Fangling.

The whole family of his uncle and aunt knew about it, there was no reason his mom wouldn’t know.

Mentioning the old man in the family, Lu Qinian, a trace of helplessness flashed across Lin Fangling’s face: "I originally didn’t want to bring this up with you, and your grandpa also instructed us not to say anything, but I didn’t expect your cousin would mention your grandpa’s situation."

"What happened to Grandpa?"

"We don’t know what’s happening either."

Lin Fangling said: "It was just some time ago, about more than two months ago, your grandpa suddenly said he felt bloated in the abdomen, the area where the liver is located didn’t feel quite comfortable, and he occasionally had a fever. I asked your dad to take your grandpa to the county hospital for a check-up, and the county hospital didn’t find anything wrong. Yet, your grandpa’s symptoms haven’t lessened; they’ve actually become a bit more severe."

"Aunt, I mentioned before that checks at the county hospital are useless."

When Lin Fangling got to this point, Lin Yongzhen interrupted: "You don’t know how many people from Anjiang County go to the Second Provincial Hospital after having been checked at the county hospital, where nothing was found. But once at the Second Provincial Hospital, all kinds of issues are discovered.

Many even have cancer that the county hospital hasn’t detected at all.

The old man has symptoms, it’s impossible for there to be nothing at all. I previously suggested that uncle take the old man to the Second Provincial Hospital for a check-up, and if it doesn’t work, going to City First Hospital would do too. The county hospital’s examination is just for show, it can’t be taken seriously.

Even if a problem is detected, you need to go to a large hospital for a proper re-check, not to mention if no problem is found.

Of course, I’m not cursing the old man, it’s mainly that the county hospital’s level is... There’s no need for me to say, uncle himself runs a clinic, he probably understands better than I do."

"Your uncle mentioned, but the old man refused to go."

Lin Fangling explained: "A few days after the county hospital’s examination, your uncle said he wanted to take him to the Second Provincial Hospital for a check-up. Anyway, you’re at the Second Provincial Hospital, so making an appointment and stuff would be easy. However, after seeing the check-up from the county hospital, the old man said he was in great health, maybe just missed a few meals recently, and didn’t want to go. You know the old man’s temperament, there’s nothing your uncle and I can say to change his mind.

We were initially thinking of telling Xiaoxuan, to have him give the old man a call and persuade him, but we didn’t expect the old man to directly say not to mention it to Xiaoxuan, so we didn’t dare say anything."

"Fangling, Uncle Lu is not young this year, is he?" asked Tao Xiuhua from the side.

Lin Fangling looked at Tao Xiuhua and nodded: "He’s not young, in two more months he’ll be almost seventy-five."

"Seventy-five isn’t young, any illness at that age isn’t a small matter. If the old man’s not feeling well, we really need to pay attention," Tao Xiuhua said: "Since Xiaoxuan is back now, let him go back to Old Ye’s and persuade uncle. The old man should listen to his eldest grandson. Just as Yongzhen is back this time too, they can go to the Second Provincial Hospital the day after tomorrow. Let Yongzhen make the appointment, it’ll be more convenient for him to take the old man."

"Just a few days ago, my sister-in-law took the old man to City First Hospital for a check-up, the results were supposed to come out today. I’ll ask about it later, and if nothing comes up at City First Hospital, I’ll have Xiaoxuan take the old man to the Second Provincial Hospital tomorrow."

"I’ll ask right now."

Saying this, Lin Fangling dialed her sister-in-law Lu Ran’s number in front of everyone.

"Xiao Ran, have the results of the old man’s check-up come out yet?"

"Sister-in-law, they’ve come out. I’m taking the old man to your place right now."

"How’s the old man?"

Lu Ran hesitated.

"Go ahead and say it."

Lu Ran suddenly stopped speaking, leaving Lin Fangling a little anxious.

Lu Ran gritted her teeth and said: "The situation isn’t looking too good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fangling’s face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly asked: "What exactly happened to the old man?"

"Sister-in-law, I’m driving right now, we’ll reach you in less than ten minutes. Let’s talk in person, it’s not convenient to explain over the phone. I’ll hang up now."

Before Lin Fangling could speak, the sound of the phone being hung up echoed quickly in her ear.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Seeing that his mom’s face didn’t look good, Lu Xuan hurriedly asked: "What did Aunt say?"

Lin Fangling snapped out of it, her expression a bit grim: "Your aunt didn’t say, but the results don’t seem too good. She’s already on the way, let’s wait until she arrives to talk. I’ll call your dad and have him come back now."

Lin Fangling knew her sister-in-law Lu Ran’s personality; if it were a minor issue, she’d have already been laughing about it. No matter if she were driving or flying a plane, she’d never be vague.

But this time, she was so evasive about the old man’s condition, it was evident that the old man’s check-up results weren’t optimistic.

After that, Lin Fangling made a short call to Lu Guoquan.

Concerning the old man’s illness, Lu Guoquan didn’t think much before heading home from the clinic.

At the Lu Family, due to the old man’s illness, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Even Lu Xuan, at this moment, was frowning.

He knew what kind of person Aunt was better than anyone.

If it were something minor, she would have mentioned it already, and now with nothing being said, and bringing the old man straight to his house after getting the results, it seemed the old man’s situation was quite serious.

Although Lu Xuan thought that with his current medical skills, and with Heart’s Voice’s help, there were very few illnesses he couldn’t handle, when it involved his grandpa Lu Qinian, he couldn’t help but worry.

Beside him, Ji Xiuwen wanted to say, with Old Lu’s skills, even if something were wrong with the old man, could you not save him?
