In the ICU ward.
Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui disinfected themselves and donned protective gear before gaining entry. Yuan Xi saw Uncle Liang surrounded by machines and could tell that his condition was much more serious than that of Fu Yixian.
Liang Suisui approached the hospital bed, tears falling, and cried out, “Dad, dad! Can you wake up? I’m not upset with you anymore; please wake up, okay?”
Yuan Xi noticed a tear fall from Uncle Liang’s eyes when he heard Liang Suisui’s voice and quickly said to the attending physician, “Uncle Liang is crying. If he can still cry, how can he be brain-dead?”
The attending physician sighed, “Patients with brain death can also cry. In fact, the patient is already without consciousness and can’t breathe on his own; it’s just a reflex of the nervous system.”
Liang Suisui, unable to accept this, insisted, “That can’t be. No, it just can’t be. My dad can wake up; he has to wake up…”
Yuan Xi watched as Liang Suisui collapsed in pain and couldn’t help but weep as well.
Yuan Xi supported the nearly fainting Liang Suisui out of the ward.
Chen Yuan came over and asked, “How is it? Did you see Uncle Liang?”
Yuan Xi took off her protective gear and sighed heavily, “Ah.”
Mrs. Liang sat at one side, holding the inconsolable Liang Suisui, “Suisui.”
Liang Suisui embraced Mrs. Liang, “Mom.”
This series of tragedies nearly overwhelmed Liang Suisui.
Yuan Xi turned to Chen Yuan and Shi Lei, “I’ll stay here with Suisui and her mom. You guys should go back first. The company has been busy lately.”
Shi Lei said to Chen Yuan, “I’ll go back first and let Yuanyuan stay here with you.”
Relatives from the Liang Family and Mrs. Liang’s side also rushed over.
The relatives were all advising Liang Suisui to let go, saying one after another,
“Staying in this ICU costs at least ten thousand yuan a day, and you can’t get much reimbursed, even if it’s possible.”
“The doctors have declared brain death. There’s little point in holding on. Your family is in a bad place financially right now, and the twenty thousand yuan we lent your brother, we won’t ask for it back.”
“Yes, remove the tubes. Without them, where would you find ten thousand yuan a day? Your brother already had a lot of debt.”
Liang Suisui looked at the relatives in front of her, including her own aunt and second uncle. Her dad had never treated them poorly when he had his factory. She now fully experienced the coldness of the world.
Yuan Xi said from the side, “How much money does Uncle Liang owe you? Bring over the IOUs, and after verifying their authenticity, Suisui can pay you back today.”
Several relatives said, “Oh, we didn’t mean it like that. Given the circumstances, there’s no need to repay the old debts, but we also won’t have any money left to spare in the future, given the daily costs here.”
“That’s right. We couldn’t demand repayment when someone’s had a misfortune. It’s just that our own families have our own difficulties, and we won’t be able to offer help in the future.”
Liang Suisui, tearfully, said, “I don’t need your help. Please, just go!”
Mrs. Liang comforted Liang Suisui, but she couldn’t help feeling desolate as well. Their family used to be the wealthiest among the relatives, who all sought their favor. The relatives hadn’t skimped on their help when buying cars and houses in the past.
Now they were distancing themselves. Although understandable, it was nonetheless upsetting.
Yuan Xi said, “We need to settle accounts clearly. Bring the IOUs, and speaking of which, didn’t your children also borrow quite a bit from Suisui’s family for buying houses and cars in the past? Mrs. Liang, please get those transfer records from the bank.”
The faces of the Liang relatives turned various shades of pale, and they fell silent.
Yuan Xi had no desire to look at these people’s faces, having gone through a similar situation before.
But back then, Yuan Xi had been even more helpless.
When her parents had their accident and were sitting outside the operating room, it was the same kind of gathering of relatives, shirking the costs of her college education.
Later, when it became known that there were several million yuan in compensation, every relative crowded around, showing even more contemptible faces.
The only relatives who had been kind to her, her uncle and aunt, also ended up in the hospital due to the unbearable shock of her grandparents losing their daughter; they had no time to take care of Yuan Xi.
Before that, Yuan Xi had always thought her relatives were different from the nauseating ones on the internet, but after that experience, she had practically grown up overnight.
Now, seeing Liang Suisui’s relatives, Yuan Xi couldn’t say whether they were disgusting or not; perhaps it’s just human nature for many people to be ordinary, seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
Yuan Xi was handling company affairs on her phone.
Then she heard Mrs. Liang telling Liang Suisui, “Suisui… maybe it’s really time to pull the plug… Staying in the ICU costs tens of thousands a day, you can’t afford it, and it’s good enough that Xiao Xi could come with you. We can’t keep owing her the money.”

Liang Suisui tearfully said, “Mom, I have money… you won quite a bit before.”
Yuan Xi also said to Mrs. Liang, “Mrs. Liang, Uncle Liang helped me a lot back then, so you don’t need to feel the financial pressure, Suisui also has savings.”
In the evening.
Gu Hanchen also came over and had made a point to bring the hospital director with him.
After understanding the situation, the director told Gu Hanchen, “Young Mr. Gu, I’ve been friends with your father for many years, so I’ll tell you the truth. Medically speaking, there’s no chance of a miracle unless it’s a divine act…”
Gu Hanchen asked, “Would it be any better if we transferred him to a hospital in A City?”
“It’s the same everywhere.”
Upon hearing the director’s words, Liang Suisui cried out, “Fu Yixian woke up, didn’t he? Xiao Xi, ask Huo Shiyuan to bring Fu Yixian’s medical team over.”
The director sighed and said, “You’re talking about President Fu of Fu An Group, right? His case was different; he wasn’t brain-dead. He still had consciousness and could breathe independently without the equipment. Moreover, the fact that President Fu could wake up is almost an impossible miracle in itself.”
On hearing this, Mrs. Liang nearly fainted.
“Mom!” Liang Suisui hurried forward to support Mrs. Liang.
The doctor behind the director quickly escorted Mrs. Liang to the emergency room.
Yuan Xi received a phone call from Huo Shiyuan, “I probably won’t come back today, don’t come here, take good care of Lele and An An.”
Yuan Xi then heard Huo Shiyuan’s voice from behind her, “I’m already here.”
Yuan Xi saw Huo Shiyuan behind her, walked over, and threw herself into his arms, shedding tears.
Huo Shiyuan hugged Yuan Xi tightly and said, “I brought Yixian’s previous medical team to have a look at Uncle Liang.”
Yuan Xi hugged Huo Shiyuan and said, “Thank you.”
By ten o’clock at night, the diagnosis from the medical team brought by Huo Shiyuan was the same: brain death, and medically speaking, it’s only a matter of relying on a miracle.
Liang Suisui sat helplessly at the ICU door, looking at the quiet hallway deep into the night, she closed her eyes, tears falling, and said, “Xiao Xi, Yuanzi, I always thought that I wouldn’t have to make this decision until thirty years from now, I really can’t make it, I just saw my dad crying, I even saw him moving…”
Yuan Xi said, “I understand, if you can’t make the decision, then just keep going like this.”
Liang Suisui looked at Yuan Xi and Chen Yuan in front of her and said, “Thank you for always being with me, helping me, so much has happened these past few days, I want to wait another week, if there’s still no hope or miracle after a week, I will… you guys go back first.”
Yuan Xi glanced at Liang Suisui and said, “Then you…”
Liang Suisui forced a smile at Yuan Xi, “I still have my mom to take care of, I will hold on.”
Yuan Xi said, “Call us if you need anything, we’ll be leaving now.”
Yuan Xi followed Huo Shiyuan to the car, and the highway was nearly empty in the middle of the night.
Yuan Xi looked at the dark road ahead and said, “Growing up just means one separation after another.”
Huo Shiyuan held Yuan Xi’s hand with one hand and said, “That’s why we have to cherish every day even more.”
Yuan Xi gave a bitter smile, “Shiyan, can you check if Uncle Liang’s gambling has something to do with Second Young Master Bao? They’re all from Jiang City, I’m afraid it’s inextricable from the Bo Family.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Alright, I’ll have someone look into it.”
