The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 703 - 718: Fleeting Panic
The old sir didn’t expect it to be so serious. He thought it was just because his memory wasn’t good due to old age: "Why don’t we wait until after the New Year to go to the hospital? A day or two won’t make a difference."
"No, we need to go now, I can’t rest easy."
Han Xi walked over to the wardrobe and took out the old sir’s coat: "Grandpa, let’s go now. I’ll give the hospital a heads-up, and we can get the checkup done quickly."
"Alright then." Old Master Lu didn’t want the young couple to worry about him, so he agreed.
Han Xi helped the old sir put on his coat, and then everyone went downstairs together.
In the living room, Ji Qing saw them coming out and greeted them with a smile: "Doctor Liu, is the old sir’s health okay?"
"The old sir needs to go to the hospital for a checkup. We’ll know more once the results are out." Doctor Liu responded politely.
Hearing the old sir needed a checkup, Ji Qing’s face briefly showed a flash of panic.
That flicker of panic was keenly noticed by Lu Jinghan.
Lu Jingchen, with his hands in his pockets, walked over too: "Grandpa’s just getting old, which is why he forgets things occasionally. Can’t Doctor Liu just prescribe some medicine?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Hearing Lu Jingchen say this, the old sir truly felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Jinghan’s sharp gaze tightened slightly. He ignored the mother and son, instead supporting the old sir as they headed outside.
The car soon parked in the hospital’s underground parking lot. On the way there, Han Xi had already informed the doctor, so they could start the old sir’s checkup immediately.
Getting out of the car, Han Xi supported Old Master Lu onto the elevator: "Grandpa, we’ll go home right after the checkup."
"Alright, alright. Did your father and the others go home already?"
"They’re already home; Sister Zhang even prepared lots of dishes you like."
Han Xi said with a light smile, trying to distract the old man, as he hadn’t spoken during the car ride, obviously worried about his condition.
After the elevator doors opened, Han Xi and Lu Jinghan assisted the old sir directly to the neurology department.
Opening the office door, Han Xi greeted Doctor Li with a smile. Doctor Li understood the old sir’s symptoms and took him for a checkup.
Han Xi held Lu Jinghan’s hand as they sat on a long bench in the corridor: "If Grandpa really has Alzheimer’s, let’s bring him to live with us."
Lu Jinghan pulled Han Xi into his arms, his chin gently rubbing against her head: "Okay."
The two of them waited a long time before Doctor Li came out of the examination room with Old Master Lu.
Han Xi stood up and walked over, asking anxiously: "How is it, Doctor Li? Is it Alzheimer’s?"
Doctor Li removed his disposable mask, looking at Han Xi with a complex expression: "The old sir does not have Alzheimer’s. It seems he took some kind of medication that caused his memory decline, making him forget things."
"Medication?"
Lu Jinghan connected this with the subtle panic Ji Qing showed earlier, feeling as if everything suddenly made sense.
"Long-term use of this medication can numb the central nerve, gradually leading to lethargy, forgetfulness, and in severe cases, being unable to take care of oneself. But don’t worry, since you came in time, I’ll prescribe some medication to help adjust his system. He should gradually improve after a while."
