Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 287 - 286: Hospitalization

This agreement allowed the elderly couple to take a rest, and Gu Xiaoqing and the others came out.

Li Xuemei arranged accommodations for her two brothers and sisters-in-law, all of them staying next to Li Qinghai’s room.

The next day, early in the morning, Gu Ruhai drove the whole family to the hospital.

Only Li Zhaodi, Gu Xiaoqing, Li Weimin, and Li Weiqiang were brought, while the others were left at home. After all, there wouldn’t be enough space if there were too many people, and they couldn’t help much at the hospital.

So, Li Xuemei and the others stayed at home.

When they arrived at the hospital, Gu Ruhai had already contacted the hospital in advance, so they had an appointment with a specialist today.

They first brought Li Zhaodi to the gastroenterology department.

Li Zhaodi kept shouting for Gu Xiaoqing to go for a check-up first on the way there.

Gu Xiaoqing had no choice but to threaten, saying they would first check Li Zhaodi, and since she wasn’t afraid, she dared to go in.

So, Li Zhaodi bravely became the guinea pig.

Just for her granddaughter’s words.

The doctor did a check-up and gave an order for Li Weimin to take her for a stomach X-ray.

Once they left, Gu Ruhai, Gu Xiaoqing, and Li Weiqiang asked the doctor, as they noticed that although the doctor spoke kindly and had a good attitude, he still frowned, which was worrying.

Gu Ruhai, the calmest one, asked, "Doctor, how is the old lady? Please tell us directly; as her children, not knowing makes us anxious."

The doctor, in his fifties but considered young among specialists, looked at the blood test results and said, "I haven’t seen the X-ray yet, but given the current symptoms and data, your family’s old lady might have stomach cancer."

Li Weiqiang collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His eyes were a bit glazed, and Gu Ruhai quickly pinched Li Weiqiang’s philtrum, waking him up.

He immediately lunged at the doctor, hugging the doctor’s leg, pleading, "Doctor, please, doctor, save my mom."

The doctor helplessly pulled Li Weiqiang off, and looked at the relatively calm Gu Ruhai and Gu Xiaoqing, saying, "I can’t make a definitive diagnosis yet; further hospitalization and detailed examination are required. But for now, it’s not the worst news; even if it is, it’s only stage one, which is the early stage. Surgery to remove the cancerous cells and area, followed by proper medication and recovery, should be fine. Many early cancer patients have lived for over ten years after such treatment."

They had seen such family situations too many times, unaffected by emotion. However, because the patient had connections, with the face of the hospital’s vice president, the specialist doctor explained thoroughly.

The doctor explained the worst and best outcomes.

Gu Ruhai and Gu Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly; Gu Xiaoqing was mentally prepared because this time they discovered it earlier than the last time cancer was found, and she believed it should be in time.

Gu Ruhai pulled up Li Weiqiang and whispered, "Wipe your tears; we need to keep this from mom. Just say it’s a minor surgery, a hospital stay for treatment will fix it. If she saw you like this, she’d be scared to death.

At this moment, we cannot panic, we cannot give mom mental pressure, we need to handle this well, that’s our responsibility as children."

Right then, Gu Ruhai became the strongest supporter. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With his authoritative presence, Li Weiqiang immediately wiped his tears, though his red eyes were hard to hide.

"Uncle, go wash your face, you can’t look like this; grandma will see right away," Gu Xiaoqing pointed towards the restroom, telling Li Weiqiang.

Li Weiqiang nodded and briskly walked over.

The doctor glanced at Gu Ruhai and Gu Xiaoqing, seeing that they were indeed quite composed, especially the young girl, who, despite her age, was surprisingly calm in the face of her family member’s life and death.

Li Weimin returned with the old lady, holding the X-ray. Li Weiqiang quickly helped Li Zhaodi sit on the chair at the door. Li Weiqiang’s mood clearly improved, smiling and joking with Li Zhaodi while giving Gu Ruhai a look.

Gu Ruhai took the X-ray inside to show the doctor.

The doctor looked at the X-ray and nodded at Gu Ruhai.

Gu Ruhai’s expression was slightly grim.

Gu Xiaoqing quietly asked, "Is it early stage now?"

The doctor said, "Yes, I’ll arrange for you to be admitted today. The sooner the surgery, the better the treatment outcome."

"Doctor, with my grandmother, I hope you can keep it a bit concealed, don’t let her know about this diagnosis. I’m afraid the elderly can’t handle it," Gu Xiaoqing whispered.

The doctor nodded, "Okay, don’t worry, we understand, we’ll keep this from the patient."

The doctor handed the hospital admission form to Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing took the form and went with Gu Ruhai to process the hospital admission.

Soon, the admission procedures were completed.

Gu Xiaoqing supported Li Zhaodi, saying, "Grandma, after the doctor’s examination, there’s a small issue. You’ve often had stomach discomfort. The doctor said that with the latest equipment, a minor operation can solve it, and there are no future risks. We’ve arranged for hospitalization; fixing it early means you can watch me get married and have children."

Li Zhaodi was startled, "What? Hospitalized?"

The old lady’s face changed colors, looking unpleasant.

She thought she shouldn’t have come to the hospital, that she couldn’t leave once there.

Regretfully, she asked, "Can’t I not stay in the hospital?"

The old lady felt particularly insecure.

"Grandma, what are you thinking? It really is a minor surgery. Don’t you believe me?"

Gu Xiaoqing said in a playful tone.

Li Zhaodi anxiously asked, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, but when you say hospitalization, I just feel uneasy."

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled, "Grandma, would Xiaoqing lie to you?"

Li Zhaodi had no choice but to laugh.

Smiling bitterly, she thought to herself, she’d been fooled by her granddaughter.

The hospital admission was completed, and Li Zhaodi was placed in a private room as requested by Gu Xiaoqing. Gu Ruhai specifically sought out the vice president and gave him two cartons of cigarettes to get it done.

The main concern was staying in a general ward, where too many people and talking might let the old lady find out everything; she’d surely pass out instantly.

The private room had limited people, and they were watched over 24/7, giving peace of mind.

Gu Ruhai and Gu Xiaoqing took Li Weimin back, swapping with Li Xuemei and Liu Fen to come over, as the old lady wasn’t very convenient.

Most of the time, doing laundry and cleaning is a little more convenient for daughters.
