Chapter 266: How Can You Save Someone Who is Already Dead?
By the time Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue rushed to the surgical room entrance at Jianghai Hospital, all the members of the Lin Family had already arrived, gathering around the surgery room door with faces full of anxiety.
Although the old master had retired several years ago and no longer even inquired about family matters, let alone the affairs of the group.
In recent years, the only time the old master had spoken up was regarding his granddaughter Lin Ruoxue's marriage, to the point where the Lin family members had gradually started to feel his absence.
However, when the old master suddenly collapsed, everyone was shocked and only then did they realize that it was the old master who had led the Lin Family from a minor clan to becoming today's second-tier Jianghai family over the decades.
After the old master collapsed, everyone couldn't help but internally ask, "Without the old master at the helm, how far could the Lin Family's big ship continue to sail?"
Yet everyone lacked confidence in this respect, and thus they all started to fear, worried that the old master might pass away!
During this time of extreme anxiety as everyone waited, Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue by her small hand and arrived.
"Sister, brother-in-law, grandfather he..."
As soon as he saw Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue, Lin Hao immediately ran over, but struggled to continue speaking after starting his sentence.
Although the old master was usually very strict with his grandson, he could still feel the love in it.
"Ruoxue, Little Su, you're here!"
Lin Ruoxue's father Lin Wenqing greeted them simply, his entire mind focused on his father!
It was Lin Ruoxue's mother, Zhang Xinlan, who immediately walked over and looked at Lin Ruoxue, saying:
"Ruoxue, why do you look so pale?"
Then she glanced at Su Chen and somewhat reproachfully said:
"Little Su, why aren't you taking good care of Ruoxue?"
"Yes, Mom, it's my neglect, I will definitely take good care of Ruoxue. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Mom, it's not Su Chen's fault, it's just that there's been too much going on with the group recently,"
Seeing Su Chen being blamed due to her, Lin Ruoxue immediately felt somewhat apologetic and defended him.
"Work is endless, health is the most important. How can your father and I not worry when you're like this?"
Zhang Xinlan chided her daughter with a glance.
"I understand."
Lin Ruoxue nodded reluctantly, then quickly asked:
"Mom, what exactly happened to Grandfather? How could he suddenly become critically ill?"
"I don't know either, he was fine after breakfast this morning, then he was just sitting in the yard on the sun lounger, and suddenly, inexplicably, he collapsed to the ground,"
Zhang Xinlan recalled the scene in the morning and felt it was very strange:
"Then we immediately rushed your grandfather to the hospital. After the examination, the doctor said it was acute heart failure and that he must be rescued immediately, and also mentioned that there was not much hope, urging us to be mentally prepared!"
Upon saying this, Zhang Xinlan also showed a sorrowful expression.
With Grandfather in there being resuscitated, Lin Ruoxue could do nothing but silently pray, hoping that Grandfather could pull through this ordeal.
Listening to this, Su Chen felteven more that the situation was strange, even eerie.
Although it's normal for elderly people to suddenly face life-threatening issues, Su Chen was very clear about the old master's health, which definitely should not have resulted in this!
Just then, Lin Wenlong and his son also walked towards Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen.
"Ruoxue, don't worry too much. The old master has the fortune of the heavens and will be fine."
Lin Wenlong patted Lin Ruoxue's shoulder and sighed.
"Yes, Ruoxue, Grandfather always valued you the most, he wouldn't want you to worry like this,"
Lin Chao also chimed in.
"I know, I believe that Grandfather will be fine."
Lin Ruoxue nodded.
Just then, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out.
As soon as the lights went out, the Lin Family involuntarily tensed, knowing that this meant the surgery had ended, but they did not yet know the outcome.
Soon, the door to the operating room opened, and several doctors walked out.
The Lin Family immediately crowded around, bombarding the doctors with questions about the elderly man's condition.
The lead doctor looked at the Lin Family and shook his head slightly,
"I'm sorry, we did everything we could. Mr. Lin has passed away, but he passed peacefully."
Upon hearing that the doctors had done their best, many started crying on the spot, including Lin Ruoxue, who burst into tears in Su Chen's arms...
"Doctor Xu, how could this happen? My father was fine this morning!"
Lin Wenting suddenly lunged forward, desperately grabbing the lead doctor's arm, crying and asking.
Doctor Xu immediately tried to remove Lin Wenting's hand, but she was holding on too tightly, so he could only sigh and explain,
"Miss Lin, I understand how you feel, but your father had acute heart failure, so it happened so suddenly... We really did our best."
"Little sister, the dead cannot be revived, you need to let go."
Lin Wenlong stepped forward and pulled away the heartbroken Lin Wenting.
"Big brother, Dad is dead~~~"
Lin Wenting also collapsed on Lin Wenlong's shoulder and cried...
"Little sister, Dad was of a venerable age, and he passed away peacefully. That's what Doctor Xu also said. You should try to accept it."
Lin Wenlong patted Lin Wenting's back to comfort her.
"Can I go see Grandpa now?"
Just then, a voice rose, sounding especially striking amid the mournful weeping.
Su Chen grew increasingly puzzled; how could Grandpa suddenly succumb to acute heart failure?
Without seeing for himself, he felt he could not be at peace!
When everyone heard Su Chen's words, they stopped crying and looked at him in bewilderment, not understanding his meaning.
"Of course, you can."
Doctor Xu nodded, as it was only natural for the family to want to see the deceased, and they had no reason to deny them.
However, upon hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Ruoxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly said,
"Right, honey, didn't you say you were the Ghost Doctor? Didn't you claim that there is no one you can't save in this world? Please go and save Grandpa quickly!"
It was only then that Lin Ruoxue remembered her husband possessed divine medical skills.
In her grief, she had been confused; even with Su Chen's great skills, he could not revive the dead!
Hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, others thought she had been driven mad by the news of the old man's death. The man was already dead; how could he be saved?
And that young man who had married into the family hardly seemed like someone skilled in medicine, let alone a Ghost Doctor. More like fooling ghosts!
"Miss Lin, the old man is already dead; his heart has stopped beating. Even Hua Tuo could not revive him if he were alive!"
The lead doctor, Xu Bo, said disdainfully, clearly holding the title of Ghost Doctor in contempt.
After all, Xu Bo had graduated from Harvard Medical School, and such doctors who studied abroad had little tolerance for "Ghost Doctors" or "Divine Doctors" with their airs of charlatanism.
Especially when the person was so young—if it had been an elderly Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with white hair, he might have believed it a bit.
Upon hearing Xu Bo's words, Lin Ruoxue's expression also dimmed, realizing, indeed, Grandpa was dead, a fixed reality that couldn't be changed!
However, contrary to what everyone had anticipated, upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's suggestion, Su Chen simply nodded and said,
"Let's go have a look first!"
