Andorli and Xu Ai’er sat uneasily in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor to explain the examination results.
Earlier, the doctor had asked her many questions and performed a brain CT scan, then asked them to wait in another consultation room and would explain her condition later.
Andorli felt a deep sense of unease, constantly twisting her fingers.
Fortunately, Xu Ai’er sitting beside her occasionally transmitted warmth through her palms, which helped calm Andorli’s heart.
”Ms. Andorli, your test report is ready,” Dr. Zhang walked in with a solemn expression.
”Dr. Zhang, what’s wrong with my friend?” Xu Ai’er asked urgently.
”Ms. Andorli’s brain had previously suffered an impact, resulting in blood clot accumulation. Now the blood clot is pressing on the optic nerve.”
”How… how could this be?” Xu Ai’er was stunned, then questioned, “Why wasn’t this discovered during previous follow-up checks?”
”Ms. Xu, blood clot issues are not something that can be discovered in a day or two. Their formation and accumulation take time,” Dr. Zhang explained patiently.
”But──”
Just as Ai’er was about to say more, Andorli raised her hand to stop her. Her expression looked calm, and she asked softly, “If this continues, will I go blind? Are there any remedial measures?”
”The only way is surgery to remove the blood clot,” Dr. Zhang said seriously.
”Surgery is absolutely necessary?” Andorli asked calmly.
”I’m afraid so.”
Dr. Zhang’s words made her want to cry. She was a young girl in a foreign country, now sick, with no family around, and even Ah Si had returned to Japan…
Oh God! She was so scared, so scared!
”Ms. Andorli, if you’re willing to accept the surgery, we can help you with the hospitalization procedures at any time and arrange the best ward for you,” Dr. Zhang’s meaning was already quite clear.
Normally, hospital wards in major hospitals are hard to get, but from Andorli’s personal background, Dr. Zhang knew she was the only daughter of a European diplomatic minister, so she deserved some privileges and should not be neglected.
”Dr. Zhang, I──” Andorli hesitated.
”Dr. Zhang, we’ll complete the hospitalization procedures today. Could you please prepare a top-tier ward for us?” Xu Ai’er immediately made the decision for Andorli.
