Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Possibly Becoming a Vegetative State
The old man’s test results came back, there was internal bleeding in his skull, requiring emergency surgery.
Michael Marshall signed the consent form, and the old man was immediately taken to the operating room.
Sitting in the waiting area of the operating room, Michael’s mind was filled with mixed feelings.
Despite hating his father for many years, blaming his father often, when he saw the moment his father was pushed out of the emergency room by the nurse, he was still very sad, he was heartbroken, and unconsciously, his eyes moistened.
The man who had acted recklessly and tyrannically all his life, he really hadn’t thought he would encounter such a day.
The father who thought himself invincible, who suppressed him everywhere, now lay in a coma, unresponsive, his life hanging in the balance, and Michael found it difficult to adapt to the situation.
Not so long ago, Michael even wished his father could join his mother sooner, but when the moment really came, he so desired his father to be safe and sound.
Even though his father was very annoying, he would rather have his father be well, even if they, as father and son, would end up arguing with each other again, Michael didn’t want to face this scenario.
Michael sincerely hoped that his father could recover soon.
…
Receiving a call from his dad, Daniel and Olivia Jenkins hurried back to the country.
Just off the plane, they raced to RenewalCare Hospital.
In the intensive care room, Daniel and Olivia could only gaze at their grandpa from a distance through the glass window.
Grandpa hadn’t woken yet, he was under the watch of many medical devices, with a nurse providing 24-hour monitoring.
“Dad, how is grandpa’s condition? What did the doctor say?”
Michael hadn’t closed his eyes in two days, his eyes were bloodshot, he had also guarded the hospital for two days.
Michael looked up at his son. His face was deeply serious, his voice extraordinarily heavy, “The operation has been performed. The doctor said the operation was very successful, but, the brain damage is also quite serious. If your grandpa can wake up within 15 days, his chances of recovery are quite high. If he doesn’t wake up, he may become vegetative.”
“…”
“The doctor also said that grandpa’s bruising, as well as the areas of fracture, are not too serious, the main injury is in the brain. The car hit the middle separation strip and flipped over, landing on its side heavily, which is why your grandpa’s injuries are so serious. Also, considering his age, the prognosis is not optimistic.”
Daniel’s brow furrowed tightly.
Suddenly, he stepped forward to give dad a hug, his deep and slightly husky voice comforted, “Grandpa will be fine, we have the best medical resources, grandpa will definitely get through this. I believe grandpa will wake up, he won’t want to leave us, he won’t let me worry.”
Michael let out a sigh, then nodded, patting Daniel’s back.
After two continuous days of exhaustion, Michael was also worn out, his face revealing signs of weariness.
In a soft voice, Daniel said, “Dad, you go back and rest, Olivia and I will watch over grandpa at the hospital. I’ll take care of this.”
Michael pursed his lips, didn’t say anything, just nodded in agreement.
He handed the driving recorders of both cars to Daniel, and quickly briefed him on the emergency measures he had ordered.
After dad left, Daniel called Adam Howard and Martin Wallace respectively.
The accident vehicle’s appraisal report hadn’t arrived yet. Adam had checked the driver’s personal data as well as his family situation, but found no abnormalities.
On the face of it, this indeed seemed to be a traffic accident.
But Adam had another thought, “Daniel, I investigated everyone in Beverly Hills, according to the private doctor, the driver had a cold the day before yesterday, and he gave him medicine for two days. At that time, he reminded the driver; these cold medicines could make him drowsy, he shouldn’t drive.”
