Chapter 1022: Internal Organ Failure
“Alright, alright. Make yourself comfortable and watch over the kids. I’ll go up and take a look.”
“Sure.”
Nangong Nuannuan went upstairs and knocked on Chi Zeyao’s door. “Second Uncle, Nuannuan here.”
“Nuannuan, come in.”
Nuannuan opened the door and saw that Chi Zeyao was about to get up. She hurried over to support him in lying back down again.”
“Second Uncle, don’t get up. I heard that you’re not feeling well, so I’m here to check on you.”
“Alright.”
Chi Zeyao was feeling an excessive amount of discomfort today. Even his words became sparse.
Nuannuan carefully examined his body, but when she saw the condition he was in, she could not help but frown.
It was a very serious case of nephritis, and his kidneys were rapidly deteriorating.
She had only returned to Jiang District for ten days. How could his body, which was not as severe before this, collapse so quickly?
“Second Uncle, did you catch a cold recently?”
Old Master Chi came in and heard Nuannuan’s question. He immediately complained, “Exactly!”
“Dad!” Chi Zeyao was already feeling unwell. When he heard the old master whining about him, he could not help but call out despite his splitting headache, afraid that he would make Nuannuan unhappy.
“I’ll tell Nuannuan even if you call me.” Old Master Chi complained angrily. “Before you left, you told both of us not to go out because it’s cold outside. I listened to you and didn’t go anywhere, but he didn’t listen to you at all. Thinking that his conditions improved a lot, he went to the company on the third day.
“When he came back that night, he caught a cold. At the time, we didn’t think much of it, so he took some medicine that’s supposed to alleviate cold symptoms. After taking the medicine for several days, he didn’t get any better, and he lost all of his appetites. Today, he’ll have to lie down straight away. I told him to go to the hospital, but he refused. I asked the family doctor to treat him, but he refused. He’s so stubborn!”
Facing the unconcealable worry in the old master’s eyes, Nuannuan smiled and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. You have me here. You know how good my skills are, don’t you? Don’t worry, after I perform acupuncture on Second Uncle, he’ll be much better in no time.”
“Really?” The old master’s eyes lit up.
Actually, his greatest fear was for Zeyao to suddenly fall ill to some severe sickness. After all, when he went to the hospital previously, he had once asked the doctor in secret. The doctor told him that Chi Zeyao’s body was about to reach the point of no return. After all, his previous injuries were too severe, and his internal organs were basically destroyed. In the future, he could only rely on internal organ transplants to live on. Even if he changed all his internal organs, he would only be able to live for three to five years at most.
Therefore, what he was most afraid of was Chi Zeyao’s organs failing one day.
If that was the case, he did not know if he should take him to the hospital to change all his organs.
After all, he could not go through all the transplant surgeries at one go. There were so many internal organs that had to be replaced time and time again, and he would have to endure the pain brought by the hemolysis. Moreover, he would not be able to live for long after going through all that too...
At the thought of this, the old master felt sad. Fortunately, there was Nuannuan. If she said that it was not a big problem, that only meant that he escaped danger.
“Yes. Second Uncle only caught a cold and it triggered the inflammation. In addition, his body isn’t well, to begin with, so it’s very difficult for him to recover.”
This time, the old master was relieved. He said fiercely to Chi Zeyao, “Did you hear what Nuannuan said? Why do you always want to make others worry for you? Nuannuan told you not to go out and run around, but you still went anyway. Is our family too poor to afford gas that you, the chairman, must do everything yourself?”
