Chapter 556 Are People Really So Cold-Hearted?
The entire Manhattan General Hospital was in a panic.
The sudden, massive bleeding left Chen Yiyi in a semi-comatose state.
In fact, Chen Yiyi has always been physically weak.
I had two major brain surgeries last year, and I started trying to conceive before I had fully recovered.
To increase her chances of conceiving, she used a large amount of ovulation-inducing drugs during her pregnancy preparation period, and as a result, she became pregnant with twins.
After arriving in the United States, she was unable to go to a regular hospital for prenatal checkups because she had no relatives or friends there.
I've only been to a few unlicensed clinics.
In the United States, where the healthcare industry is highly profitable and resources are unevenly distributed, illegal clinics have always been commonplace.
It is also the only medical facility that many poor people can access.
For many low-income people and undocumented immigrants, accessing medical resources at regular hospitals is incredibly difficult.
After all, these regular hospitals are controlled by private capital and have never been charitable places for saving lives.
Some people may think that American society is highly developed.
In reality, only the upper and middle classes are developed.
The truly impoverished people struggle even to survive on basic necessities.
"I have only one request: if she dies, you all must die."
In the delivery room, looking at the semi-conscious Chen Yiyi, Ruan Shengnan coldly spoke to the surgeon.
She has received orders that the young master must spare no effort to save her.
This further solidified Ruan Shengnan's suspicion that the young master and Chen Yiyi had a very close relationship.
If Chen Yiyi weren't the young master's woman, he would never have personally given the order.
"Honorable guest, our hospital's blood bank is running low!"
The director of Manhattan Hospital suddenly rushed in wearing a sterile gown.
Chen Yiyi urgently needs to establish an intravenous line to replenish blood volume and maintain effective blood circulation, in order to buy time for surgery and treatment.
However, the hospital's blood bank already had a limited stock.
This is a problem that hospitals all over the world cannot avoid.
"Go and get blood transfusions, get as much as you can!"
Ruan Shengnan's eyes were bloodshot.
If she doesn't do a good job of what the young master asked her to do, then her time as an elder is over!
"I've already contacted the American Red Cross and blood centers, but it's too late. The quickest way right now is for a relative to donate blood..."
The dean said tremblingly.
At the same time, he secretly observed the changes in Ruan Shengnan's expression.
Clearly, he knew Ruan Shengnan's identity.
If things go wrong, his time as dean might be coming to an end.
Without saying a word, Ruan Shengnan strode out of the delivery room.
"Green Gang, listen to my command!"
Standing at the entrance to the delivery room, Ruan Shengnan shouted sternly.
"exist!"
More than a dozen members of the Green Gang who were waiting outside the delivery room responded immediately.
"Everyone aged 18 to 50 with blood type O, go get your blood drawn! Notify headquarters to send more people!"
At the command, everyone sprang into action.
A large number of medical staff arrived with blood collection equipment, and the scene resembled a vegetable market stall.
In less than ten minutes, more than a hundred members of the Green Gang from Manhattan's Chinatown rushed to the hospital, and many more were running towards it.
Fortunately, this is a super VIP ward, and there are a large number of Green Gang strongmen guarding the surroundings.
Aside from medical staff, ordinary people cannot get close at all.
Otherwise, the situation here might be mistaken for the president being rescued inside!
"Manager Ruan, what's wrong?"
When Chen's mother saw this scene, she panicked.
She didn't know Ruan Shengnan's name; she only saw that the other person's name tag read "Manager Ruan."
"Major bleeding, urgently need a large amount of blood."
Ruan Shengnan did not hide anything, after all, the other party was Chen Yiyi's mother and had the right to know the situation.
"Then... what should we do?"
Chen's mother became even more flustered and at a loss.
"You should donate blood too."
Ruan Shengnan frowned.
Now, every additional person means one more hope.
Besides, this old lady can't be of much help. Giving her some work will save her from getting anxious here!
"Me? How much do I need to smoke?"
Chen's mother became even more nervous, and her hands began to tremble involuntarily.
"Let's draw 600!"
Ruan Shengnan sized up Chen's mother.
People around sixty or eighty years old, smoking too much might cause someone's death.
"No way! I'm too weak to draw that much!"
Chen's mother almost blurted it out.
Ruan Shengnan frowned even more deeply.
Faced with her daughter's life in danger, this mother's first reaction was not worry, but concern for her own health.
"Human lives are at stake! Everyone who can still move, have 1000 ml drained!"
Ruan Shengnan suppressed her anger and turned to give orders to the Green Gang members who were donating blood.
Ruan Shengnan's words were clearly a veiled criticism.
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed without hesitation.
For these men who live on the edge, bleeding is just an everyday occurrence.
Even if your head falls off, you'll only have a scar the size of a bowl!
1000 ml of blood, at worst I'll just have to stay home and rest for a few days.
"Manager Ruan... is this situation serious? How much will it cost?"
Chen's mother hadn't yet noticed the sarcasm in Ruan Shengnan's words; she was more worried about the medical expenses.
"Hospitalization fees, surgery fees, and emergency treatment fees have already amounted to $1000 million."
Ruan Shengnan said without hesitation.
She had lost patience with the old woman and deliberately exaggerated her story.
"So much? We're not getting treatment! We simply can't afford it!"
Chen's mother cried out.
1000 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 6000 million yuan, which is an astronomical figure for her.
Even if we sold her, we still wouldn't be able to raise the money if we continued treatment.
"Sell your house and car, and the Green Gang will cover the rest."
Ruan Shengnan looked directly into the other person's eyes.
This was her final test of the old woman's character.
"No way! Without a house and a car, how will we live in America?"
"Besides, the house is in my youngest daughter's name. She still needs to go to school and get married, so she will absolutely not agree to sell it. Manager Ruan, we're not going to proceed with this!"
Chen's mother held Ruan Shengnan's arm tightly.
"roll!"
Ruan Shengnan's last bit of patience was completely exhausted.
She finally saw through this woman's true colors.
If it weren't for the fact that she's Chen Yiyi's mother, I would have thrown her out of the hospital right away.
As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and a person's true character is revealed over time. It turns out that people's hearts can be so cold and indifferent.
"Manager Ruan, what do you mean? I said I wouldn't get treatment! If you insist on treatment, you can pay for it all! I told you a small hospital would be fine, but you insisted on sending me to the general hospital. You're definitely a tout! You're in cahoots with the hospital to scam money!"
In an attempt to shirk responsibility, Chen's mother began to make unreasonable demands.
She couldn't let the whole family be ruined just because of Chen Yiyi.
In her view, giving up treatment was the most correct choice, and any family would have done the same.
Moreover, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed, so she simply shifted all the blame onto Ruan Shengnan.
Because she really couldn't understand where Ruan Shengnan's "love without reason" came from.
"Guards, escort her out! She's not to set foot in the hospital again!"
Ruan Shengnan almost blurted out the word "lost".
But considering the other person's age and status, she restrained herself.
Even if we need to take action, we should wait until Chen Yiyi is out of danger.
……
After more than six hours of emergency treatment, Chen Yiyi finally passed the critical period.
Meng Chuan's plane finally landed.
