In the middle of the night, Daniel Marshall, holding Olivia Jenkins in his arms, was roused from his light slumber by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Immediately, Daniel opened his eyes to see doctors and nurses running towards his grandfather’s ICU room.
Daniel let Olivia lean against the chair to sleep while he gently moved his hand. In an instant, Olivia too woke up.
Daniel’s voice was soft and low as he reassured her, “Honey, just keep sleeping.”
Olivia saw a nurse run out of her grandfather’s ICU room and suddenly lost all desire to sleep.
“Husband, let’s go see my grandfather. I’m not tired anymore.”
Daniel nodded slightly, taking Olivia’s hand as they headed towards his grandfather’s ICU room.
Through the glass window, Daniel and Olivia saw that his grandfather had awakened and the doctors and nurses were examining him.
Suddenly, Daniel and Olivia both felt an overwhelming sense of joy; their eyes unknowingly filled with tears of happiness.
This was the best New Year’s gift!
Daniel and Olivia, overcome with emotion, embraced each other, their eyes fixated on the scene inside the ICU.
After finishing the check, the doctor performed an evaluation before leaving the ICU.
Although his grandfather was awake, Daniel and Olivia could tell he wasn’t looking at them, as if he hadn’t noticed them at all.
The on-duty doctor called Daniel and Olivia into his office to speak candidly.
“Chief Daniel Marshall, Mrs. Olivia Marshall, Mr. Alexander Marshall has awakened. His vitals are acceptable, but he needs continued observation. Recovery from brain damage is not immediate, so currently his consciousness is a bit blurry. When we asked his name earlier, all he recalled was his last name, Marshall.
We will do a more detailed check when it gets light, and after a director’s evaluation, will decide on a further treatment plan. During the daytime, you can go in to see him in sterile clothing, talk to him about past events to stimulate his brain and help him regain his autonomous consciousness and memory.”
Daniel’s eyes were a little moist, but his mood lightened considerably, “Thank you, doctor, we will cooperate with the treatment.”
The on-duty doctor’s expression was somewhat grave as he hesitated, then said: “It’s also possible that Mr. Alexander Marshall might lose a part of his memory. If you all spend more time with him, it would be best if he can remember everything. Current medical technology is advanced so a full recovery is possible, but it does take time, and we can’t say for certain how long.”
Daniel creased his brows and his face instantly fell, “When it gets light, I will talk with the director and dean. We can have a consultation with foreign experts, and I want to hear their opinions as well.
RenewalCare Hospital is the best hospital in Serene City with cutting-edge technology and equipment, as well as the best imported medicines. I hope you will do your utmost to cure my grandfather.”
“…”
“If it’s necessary to invite a foreign expert team to RenewalCare Hospital, that’s also okay. I only have one requirement: you must cure my grandfather. Money is not an issue.”
After a moment of silence, the on-duty doctor duly stipulated, “In the early morning, I’ll report to the director. The hospital’s expert group still needs to meet to discuss further.”
Daniel’s brows furrowed more deeply, his expression quite serious, “Please advise the ICU nurses to take care of my grandfather and remind him of his name and basics.”
“Chief Daniel Marshall, rest assured that we will follow closely.”
Leaving the doctor’s office, Daniel and Olivia stood at the window, staring blankly at his grandfather.
Just after awakening, Mr. Alexander Marshall seemed a bit lost, not quite sure what to do. His state and behavior were heartbreaking to see.
Daniel felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Once his emotions had settled, Daniel called his father.
Michael Marshall had not been sleeping well, but answered the phone immediately when it rang.
