Back to the prime of life

Chapter 89 Ai Mai's Acute Illness
Cheng Yongyi had a car, so An Yihuan called him first.

Because there were other people in the car, including Ai Mai, Cheng Yongyi didn't call anyone else except Lu Changge.

This kid usually looks very calm and collected, but when he saw Ai Mai's pale face and limp body being supported by An Yihuan, Gu Huimin and others, he was a little at a loss.

"Quick, open the car door!" An Yihuan shouted as soon as she saw them.

Lu Changge reacted faster. He got into the car first, then took Ai Mai from them. As soon as he touched her, he felt something was wrong. The girl's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Actually, they should have called an ambulance, but they didn't think of it. Now that it has come to this, just let it go. They can't just wait here.

After receiving the person, Lu Changge moved inside and then came down from the other side.

Yin Anyan supported him on the side, and then said with a worried look on his face: "Changge, Ai Mai looks very serious."

"Well, has it been hurting for a long time?" He glanced into the car again. Ai Mai was holding her abdomen and groaning, and her voice was crying. It was obvious that she was in great pain.

"Hurry up and get in the car. Let's take Ai Mai to see a doctor." An Yihuan spoke quickly and finished her words in just a few words. She also instructed Cheng Yongyi, "You drive."

"Oh, yes, I, I know."

"Let me do it." Lu Changge hurried over and pulled him away.

This guy is a little nervous, so to be on the safe side, don't let him drive.

An Yihuan didn't care. "That's fine. Yongyi, you sit in the passenger seat. Anyan, you sit over there, and we'll help Ai Mai. Hurry up."

After sitting in the driver's seat, Lu Changge glanced at Ai Mai through the central rearview mirror. Her expression was hideous and painful, her hair was all standing on her forehead due to sweat, and every breath she took was deep and a little rapid.

After the car drove away, An Yihuan slowly said, "Aimai said she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach last night, but it wasn't serious, so we didn't take it seriously. But it suddenly got worse this morning, and she rolled around in pain and vomited several times. I think she must have gone out to eat and drank some unclean water."

The cause was difficult to define. Based on his experience, Lu Changge felt that it was somewhat similar to acute gastroenteritis, which he had seen people suffer from before.

"I'll go to the nearest Second People's Hospital. I'll know when I get there."

After about ten minutes' drive, he drove directly to the emergency room. He left the parking to Cheng Yongyi and walked inside with Ai Mai on his shoulders.

Medical resources in big cities are always tight, and the emergency room is already crowded.

An Yihuan and Yin Anyan, who had never been to the hospital for treatment, had no idea where to start. Fortunately, Lu Changge knew how to talk. He would stop anyone in a white coat and ask them, and soon found out where to register and see the doctor.

It's not easy to cut in line here. If you say you're not feeling well, the people in the queue ahead of you will also feel uncomfortable.

Lu Changge processed the procedure as quickly as possible, but he waited for almost twenty minutes before it was his turn. The doctor who examined Ai Mai was a middle-aged female doctor. She asked a few questions and seemed to have solved nothing. She just wrote them a prescription and asked them to draw blood and take X-rays.

Lu Changge said, "Doctor, she's in a lot of pain. Do you have any painkillers or something? At least give her some relief. Look, she's in so much pain that her clothes are soaked."

The female doctor took a look and nodded indifferently.

But no matter what, it was inevitable to have a hard time. During the process, Ai Mai suddenly covered his stomach and started wailing, saying that his stomach hurt even more.

She twisted and turned on the small bed in the emergency room, her body trembling.

The female doctor gently pressed her lower abdomen, and she immediately looked like she couldn't bear it.

Lu Changge was also worried watching from the side. He asked, "Something's wrong. Can anyone contact her family?"

"Ah?" The other three were all stunned and didn't think about it at all.

Lu Changge repeated, "I feel her condition is not simple. If she needs a minor surgery soon, she'll need someone to sign. It would be best to call her parents, or other relatives. Even her boyfriend?"

After he finished speaking, the three of them were still stunned and didn't react.

They probably have no experience in performing surgery on patients and don't know the subsequent procedures.

"Give me her phone." He said to Yin Anyan.

There are contacts in the address book, find them first just in case.

In fact, it wasn't long before the female doctor from the emergency room came over. She had no expression on her face and asked, "Who is the family member of this Xinjiang girl?"

"We don't look alike just by our appearance, do we?" Cheng Yongyi said helplessly, making a difficult joke. He didn't like this doctor.

"Tsk." An Yihuan rolled her eyes at him, then said, "Doctor, we're all her classmates. How is she doing?"

The doctor said, "Her condition is somewhat rare. She has acute appendicitis and acute gastroenteritis occurring at the same time. The gastroenteritis is fine and can be treated with medication. But the appendicitis requires surgery, and the family member's signature is required."

At this time, all three of them looked at Lu Changge.

"I'll make the call."

"Okay." The doctor turned around and pointed his finger into the air before leaving. "You have to pay the fee first."

Pay it now. How can you not pay it now?

What happened later was actually handled by Lu Changge. He called Ai Mai's mother. Her Mandarin was not very good, but you could tell she was very anxious.

Lu Changge repeatedly told her that she had to sign before the surgery could take place. Finally, his voice was louder than hers, which made her calm down and agree.

Next was the payment of the medical fees. The surgery cost more than 4,000 yuan, plus the acute gastroenteritis also required medication, so the total cost was more than 6,400 yuan.

It is estimated that he will have to stay in the hospital for a few more days because Ai Mai still has diarrhea and is very weak.

An Yihuan watched Lu Changge take out the money. It was a handsome gesture, but her eyes were a little dim. "Ai Mai's parents are ordinary people. They don't have much money at home. After entering a place like the hospital, they have to pay such a large amount of money as the first payment. Can they afford the last ten thousand?"

"Let's get treatment first." Lu Changge said calmly without even looking at her. Yin Anyan came up and took his hand. Everyone felt heavy-hearted.

An Yihuan also nodded. "Okay, anyway, at least there are people who can afford it. Otherwise, even if we put our money together, it wouldn't be enough."

The illness came on very suddenly, and Ai Mai felt like she was going to faint for a while, which was quite scary.

Fortunately, they were sent to the hospital in time, and the doctors had ways to treat the two illnesses after they arrived at the hospital.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the minor operation was successfully completed and the four of them went to the ward to see her.

Ai Mai has woken up, but his face is pale and his lips are bloodless. He is lying on the bed in a white and blue patient gown with an IV in his hand, looking pitiful.

An Yihuan and Yin Anyan sat down on the bed, one on each side. "Ai Mai, how are you? Are you still in pain?"

The girl forced a smile and said, "It's just that the wound hurts a little."

"That's inevitable. After all, I was stabbed." An Yihuan's words were really scary.

Ai Mai sighed and said, "That's it. I'm going to have a horribly ugly scar on my stomach."

"Yes, it was such a beautiful little belly." Yin Anyan also felt sorry for her.

Ai Mai grabbed her hand and looked at Lu Changge again, "Thank you this time."

"fine."

"Yeah, that's it..."

Lu Changge knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her and said, "Don't think about anything, and don't have any psychological burden. Wait until you recover."

He only helps in emergencies, not in poverty. He might not lend money to someone who asks for it, but this time the person is lying in the hospital waiting for money to save his life, so he doesn't feel bad about spending that little bit of money.

Ai Mai had just finished the operation, so they didn't stay in there for long. They just chatted briefly and then came out.

In the small garden outside the hospital building, the four people could finally sit down and relax.

An Yihuan also said with lingering fear, "Thanks to Boss Lu, this matter was finally resolved without any danger."

After she said that, Cheng Yongyi didn't say anything else. In dormitory 308, he was still impressed by some of the things Lu Changge did, such as what happened today.

"Okay, let's think about what to do next. Ai Mai's family is thousands of miles away, and no one will come to the hospital to take care of her except you roommates."
