"The doctor in charge at that time had prescribed medications for shortness of breath, but there was
little improvement. Your grandpa was always complaining about discomfort. So, I consulted another
doctor who felt that something was off about your grandpa's condition. Can you quess what it was?"
Bard asked, turning to the young girl sitting next to him.
Arabella nodded slightly. "People with chest discomfort can't just fall asleep instantly"
“Exactly! The second doctor said the same. He also mentioned that your grandpa usually had high
blood pressure. But when they checked, his blood pressure was sometimes extremely low, even
immeasurable. They suspected a heart attack and recommended hospitalization."
During the hospital stay, a CT scan revealed a strip shadow in the old man's pericardium. However, the
medical team was clueless about how to handle it. They had no choice but to seek treatment abroad.
"Your grandmother was seriously ill at the time, and your uncle couldn't manage it all by himself. So, I
took your grandpa to Dawnstar and admitted him to the hospital here. After detailed examinations, they
found a lot of fluid in his pericardium. They conducted a series of tests, ruling out viral pericarditis and
tumor pericarditis. But despite all the tests, they couldn't diagnose the disease or identify the cause"
Bard's voice faltered, his heart aching for the old man's sufferings. Every test meant either a blood
draw or an injection, and the myriad of medications made Darren sick to his stomach. A few times,
Darren grabbed Bard's hand, pleading to let go.
He was really tired, didn't want to struggle anymore.
"Your grandpa stayed in the hospital for a long time. They couldn't find the cause of his illness. Last
week, he was struggling to breathe, his heart rate was high, and he was sweating profusely. The
medical team resuscitated him once. But just a few days later, he's uncomfortable again, with
symptoms even worse than before."
Arabella ventured, "Could they have missed something?"
"Missed something?"
"Some conditions can't be diagnosed with routine tests"
“Will you take a look at your grandpa later?"
“Sure."
Upon reaching the hospital, Arabella followed Bard to the VIP floor on the sixteenth floor. The nurses
here were exceptionally polite to him, and even the medical team was waiting.
"Mr. Sampson"
"Mr. Sampson, you're here."
"We're waiting for your decision."
"Let me introduce you to Arabella Collins. She's a wonder in medicine. Tell her the details, and take her
to see the patient."
The doctors all looked at Arabella, their faces expressing their doubts.
Was Mr. Sampson desperate to try anything, even bringing such a young girl to help?
She looked barely into her teens.
Did she understand medicine at all?
And they, respected doctors, were expected to guide her, explaining the patient's condition to her.
Was this a joke?
"Are you not going?"
Upon hearing Bard's words, the doctors suppressed their displeasure and led Arabella to the patient,
explaining his condition over the past few days.
Arabella entered the ward. It was the first time she was meeting her grandfather. He was lying in bed
with his eyes closed, frail but it was not hard to imagine how dashing and charismatic he must have
been in his youth.
Arabella glanced at the readings on the monitor next to the bed and gently placed her slender fingers
on her grandpa’s wrist.
The doctors exchanged confused looks.
What was she doing?
