”I don't think I've ever cooked anything good for Grandmother before. Tell me, when she leaves the hospital, I'll make her some food …”
Lin Lang took a deep breath, pointed at her chattering lips with his forefinger, and said softly: ”Don't worry, grandmother will be fine.”
's words were stuck in her throat, as she looked up blankly at Lin Lang, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she wasn't worried, but before she could even speak, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She was truly worried, she knew that her grandmother must have been severely injured from Grandma Su's crying.
Lin Lang reached out and hugged her into his embrace, his warm palm gently patting her shoulder to calm her uncontrollable emotions.

After two hours, the doors to the emergency room opened, and the doctor walked out looking slightly exhausted. An Hao immediately rushed over, grabbed the doctor's hand and asked: ”Doctor, how is my grandmother?”
The doctor glanced at Lin Lang who was standing at the side with a troubled expression. An Hao's heart immediately sank, he released the doctor's hand and turned around to rush into the operation room. Lin Lang quickly grabbed her wrist to console her: ”Don't be anxious, let's hear what the doctor has to say.”
An Hao immediately turned and looked eagerly at the doctor.
The doctor had seen this look of trust and hope countless times, but every time he could not help his heart trembling, chagrined at his inability to do anything.
The doctor was also a human, he had no way to snatch the person away from Yama Minamiya.
Under great pressure, he softly announced, ”The patient has lost his sensitivity and reflexes to the outside world and is unable to move and breathe independently. The initial verdict is... Brain death. ”
When the Grandma Su heard him, he couldn't help but cry.
An Hao looked at him in a daze, unable to understand what he was saying at all, and asked dumbly, ”… Still alive? ”
The doctor explained the definition of brain death to her simply. An Hao didn't understand it at all, nor did he have the patience to listen. He shouted impatiently, ”Just tell her if she's still alive.”
”The patient is no longer able to move and breathe autonomously, and all brainstem functions have been discontinued. It is recommended that... ”Pull out the ventilator.”
”Pull out the ventilator?” An Hao mumbled these words in a low voice, but he still didn't seem to understand. He turned his head to look at Lin Lang, his eyes filled with hope.
Lin Lang could not stand her stare anymore, he reached out and caressed the top of her head, smirking: ”Although the brainstem function has already ended, the medical science and technology are so advanced, we can use medicine to maintain the patient's life characteristics. Don't worry, the doctor also said that it was a preliminary conclusion, we can find an expert to consult him, maybe … and they figure out a good plan. ”
An Hao believed his words, smiled and nodded: ”I believe you, I believe anything you say.”
Looking at her condition, the doctor sighed helplessly. Even if she was a medical expert, how could she treat a person who had already died?
Grandma was pushed into the luxurious sickroom. There were all sorts of tubes stuck into her body, and her face was even covered by a ventilator. Her eyes that were always filled with love were shut tightly, but even after An Hao called out ”Grandma” a few times, she did not have any reaction.
An Hao stayed by the bed and thought of the doctor's words about brain death, which sounded as if it really was death. She couldn't help but look at her grandma's breathing, even with the ventilator covering her, she couldn't tell anything.
