Chapter 215 was already a stroke of luck.
Chang Xingyu gave birth to Zhang Jianjun's daughter, and Zhang Jianjun named her Zhang Yitong. There was no other meaning behind it; it was simply a coincidence.
Just as Zhang Yitong was about to turn one month old, Chang Huageng fell ill. He collapsed at work, and his workplace called the emergency center, where he was assigned to the emergency department of the nearest central hospital.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Yelan immediately called Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun did not delay either; he first called Qiao Sanli to ask her to pick up Chang Xingyu, and then he himself rushed to the Central Hospital.
By the time they arrived at the emergency room, the doctor had already issued a critical condition notice, which Zhao Yelan had signed. Only then did Zhang Jianjun realize how serious the situation had become.
“Your dad was feeling down last night. One of his old classmates, a very good classmate, passed away. So he drank some alcohol last night, and I didn’t stop him. He’s had some before and was fine! Who knew…” Zhao Yelan’s tears of regret and self-blame flowed uncontrollably.
"Mom, you don't need to do this. I'll go find a doctor first and ask about the situation."
Zhang Jianjun has worked in the medical system for many years and knows people in every hospital. He occasionally provides academic assistance. In particular, Zhang Jianjun is highly skilled in medicine, and doctors often seek his help. He will give advice and will come directly to see special patients.
Zhang Jianjun took out his newly purchased cell phone and phone book, and called a director at a central hospital. "Director Bi, it's me, Zhang Jianjun. It's like this..."
Soon a slightly plump middle-aged man walked over, shook hands with Zhang Jianjun, and said, "Dr. Zhang! Come on, let's talk in the office."
He said he was going to the office, but instead he started talking about his illness. "Dr. Zhang, I won't lie to you. The test results just came out. I saw the scans when I came over. From the scans, it looks like a cerebral hemorrhage. The bleeding area is large, and the situation is serious and not optimistic."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the office. Director Bi patted the two people who were studying the films and said, "Come on, Dr. Zhang is here. Let him take a look."
The two immediately stepped aside, and Zhang Jianjun thanked them and hurried forward to check on them.
Just as Director Bi said, it's really serious.
"Dr. Zhang, you know our hospital has limited resources. In this situation, I estimate the success rate of surgery in our hospital would be less than 20%!" The two attending physicians who were studying the films were very surprised. Director Bi was really speaking frankly, saying such things to Zhang Jianjun.
Zhang Jianjun nodded. "I know, Director Bi. I'll go see my dad first. I need to discuss the details with my mom and the others first."
When Zhang Jianjun saw Chang Huageng again, he never expected it to be like this.
After taking his pulse, examining his eyelids, and carefully observing his symptoms, Zhang Jianjun left the emergency room. Qiao Sanli and Chang Xingyu had already arrived outside, and Chang Xingyun hurriedly ran over from the corner of the stairs.
"How is it, Xiaojun? How's your dad?"
Zhao Yelan had no time to care about elegance; for the past few hours, she had been as flustered as a refugee.
“Dad had a brain hemorrhage, and the situation is like this… So, the hospital isn’t confident that the surgery will be successful. Actually, I’ve looked at the scans, and usually in this kind of situation, they would send the patient home,” Zhang Jianjun relayed Director Bi’s message.
Chang Xingyu grabbed Zhang Jianjun's hand. "Jianjun, what about you? I know you can do it. What do you think we should do?"
“I’m only 50% sure! But the hospital might not agree to let me do it. This method has never been used before, so even 50% might be an overestimation.” Zhang Jianjun did have a plan, but he was very unsure of his chances.
Zhao Yelan gave Zhang Jianjun a definite answer, "Treat him! If the hospital doesn't want to, we'll go home and treat him! Whatever the outcome, we won't blame you!"
Chang Xingyu and Chang Xingyun nodded, and Chang Youyou, though only fourteen years old, also nodded, looking expectantly at Zhang Jianjun.
"Okay! I'll go ask. It would be best if I could get treatment here!" Zhang Jianjun turned around and went to find Director Bi.
Director Bi also gave Zhang Jianjun a lot of face. Zhang Jianjun's character was well-regarded in the medical field, and he decided to do Zhang Jianjun this favor. Of course, this also involved a great deal of risk.
Zhang Jianjun returned to his car, retrieved his specially made needle, composed himself, and slowly walked into the emergency room.
Three hours later, Zhang Jianjun emerged wearily, looking at the four expectant eyes, "Observe him overnight. After tonight, Dad will be out of danger!"
Qiao Sanli hadn't left yet. When she saw Zhang Jianjun walking out covered in sweat, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him and went over to wipe his sweat with her sleeve.
Chang Xingyu also saw Zhang Jianjun's sweat, but since Qiao Sanli was walking ahead, she didn't pay any more attention to it or think much about it. She thought it was a normal thing.
Zhao Yelan noticed this scene, but she felt something was amiss. However, she wasn't in the mood to care about it right now. Taking care of her old man was the most important thing.
That night, Zhang Jianjun and Chang Xingyu stayed in the ward. Family members were not allowed to enter, but Zhang Jianjun had special privileges! Zhao Yelan stayed outside the ward, with Chang Xingyun and Chang Youyou accompanying her.
In the early morning, Chang Huageng was moved to a regular ward. He remained stable throughout the night and was completely out of danger.
Zhang Jianjun's physique was indeed excessively strong; even after more than thirty-six hours without sleep, he still did not feel sleepy.
Three days later, Chang Huageng finally woke up.
However, there were both good and bad aspects. Chang Huageng's sudden illness left some hidden dangers; he became somewhat confused, exhibiting symptoms resembling those of Alzheimer's disease.
Chang Xingyun looked at his imposing father and became somewhat confused. He picked his nose and tried to put it in his mouth, but his father quickly stopped him. He took out a tissue to wipe his hands, feeling both like laughing and crying.
"Jianjun, my dad... did he damage his brain? Can he recover?"
“Severe brain damage increases the probability of Alzheimer’s disease, and this case is so serious…” Chang Xingyun understood what Zhang Jianjun meant.
Zhao Yelan returned with the food. "Xiao Jun is right! It's a miracle we survived!"
The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; the child may wish to care for their parents, but they will no longer be there! Zhao Yelan's father passed away suddenly, so she felt that being able to care for him in his old age was a blessing, even if he was mentally unstable!
Chang Xingyu couldn't come to the hospital to stay with her father because she had to take care of her child, but she would visit him two or three times a day. She had also witnessed Chang Huageng's behavior after he woke up, but she knew that Zhang Jianjun had already done his best and she couldn't ask for more.
After Chang Huageng was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Jianjun hired a caregiver for the Chang family. Zhao Yelan disagreed, but her two daughters insisted, so she reluctantly accepted. The Chang family was not short of money, and she could afford to pay for the caregiver.
Zhang Jianjun didn't force Chang Xingyun to refuse, which also showed Chang Xingyun's filial piety.
That night, Chang Xingyu spoke with Wu Fenglan, "Mom, you've seen Dad's condition. We're really worried about leaving you all alone in Sha Mao Lane! Why don't you stay here from now on?"
Wu Fenglan shook her head again, "No need, your Aunt Wei and I have already discussed it. We'll go back and break down the courtyard wall. After Sanli and Simei get married, she'll also live in Shamao Lane, and the two of us will take care of each other."
She didn't want to be disliked anymore. Even though Chang Xingyu seemed easy to get along with, things might not turn out well in the long run.
