Chapter 422: Examination Results

The doctor flipped to the next page of the report.
“As for the injuries caused by the car accident, there were a few bruises on her arms, shoulders, and calves, but they weren’t serious. The only thing that caught our attention was the bruise on her forehead. It looked quite serious, so we did a brain scan on her.”
The doctor showed the printed brain scan.
“From the CT results, we found two relatively large blood clots in the patient’s brain. However, the strange thing is that these two blood clots don’t seem to have anything to do with this injury. Instead, they look more like old injuries.”
“So we examined her skull and found an old injury caused by a hard object at the back of her head. The two blood clots should have been caused by this injury.”
The doctor wasn’t very clear about Gegar’s condition.
“These two blood clots are quite large and should be pressuring the patient’s cerebral nerves. Therefore, our suggestion is to perform a craniotomy to remove the blood clots. Otherwise, it will affect the patient’s daily life.”
“You said that there are two blood clots in her brain, and they were caused by impact?” Le Wan asked.
But didn’t White say that it was brain damage caused by a high fever?
The doctor nodded.
“Yes, it should have been caused by a collision injury. However, if you want more confirmation and detailed information, we’ll have to do a further examination to know.”
White was also stunned when he heard the doctor’s words. He was only four years old when Gegar got into trouble, so he couldn’t remember many things back then. However, his parents had been telling him all these years that the reason why Gegar became like this was because of the cold and fever back then.
As for the hole on the back of Gegar’s head, White had noticed it a long time ago because he had to help her wash her hair and tie it up. However, he only thought that it was how Gegar’s head originally looked, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
But now the doctor said that the blood clot in Gegar’s brain was caused by an impact, and the pit was actually a mark left behind by the impact.
However, in White’s impression, other than the drowning incident a few years ago, although Gegar was occasionally bullied, she had never suffered such serious injuries.
So when did the injury on her head happen?
If his parents weren’t lying, then not only was Gegar mentally disabled due to a cold and fever, but she also suffered a serious impact injury?
Or were his parents actually lying all along, and the reason why Gegar had a mental disability wasn’t caused by a high fever, but because of the impact injury on the back of her head?
Putting the two choices together, White subconsciously chose the latter because he knew his parents too well. If Gegar had really suffered such a serious injury, even if it was an accident, his parents would have extorted a sum of money and lamented about it time and time again.
However, his parents had never mentioned this matter, which meant that they were deliberately hiding it. As for why they deliberately hid it, there was only one answer. The impact injury was caused by them.
However, in order to hide from the public, and avoid the police pickets and investigation by the Welfare and Security Bureau, they pushed the reason for Gegar’s sudden intellectual disability to a cold and fever. After all, it wasn’t difficult to get a certificate from a small clinic in the slums.
The more White thought about it, the uglier his expression became.
When the Le family saw his expression, they could guess what was going on. They felt even more sorry for the siblings. They had bad luck for ten lifetimes to have such b*stard parents.
Papa Le turned around and asked the doctor,
“What are the risks of this surgery?”
The doctor said frankly,
“After all, it’s brain surgery. There are definitely risks, but we still recommend surgery because the blood clot is too large. If it’s not removed, it will affect the patient’s thinking and actions. It’s more like a bomb that will explode at any time. It can bring danger to the patient’s life at any time.” “If that’s the case,” said Papa Le, “then prepare for the surgery.” The doctor looked troubled.
“She’s so young. If it involves surgery, her guardian must sign it.”
Papa Le explained,
“There’s something wrong with the child’s guardian. Don’t worry, we’ll find a way to complete the relevant procedures. So, the hospital can prepare for the surgery first and do all the necessary tests. When the relevant procedures are completed, the child can be operated on directly..”
