441 Examination (1/2)
Not only was the day hectic, it would have lasting impact for many people. Madam Grace was practically carried out by her two bodyguards. When Yao Zhixing's car found the trio, Madam Grace had already been unconscious for a long time. Even though there was no visible injury, the overdose meant that they had to hurry her to the hospital. Now was not the time to worry about the officials.
When Cedrick got the news and arrived, he saw his own mother unconscious in the ICU wearing a breathing mask.
”We got to her too late. Even though she has been rescued, the effect of the drugs will torment her for quite some time.” Han Chu updated Cedrick on the situation. ”The doctors have already tried their best; the rest will have to be naturally removed by the body. We also cannot tell if there will be other side effects when she wakes up…”
What kind of side effects? The kind like damage to the brain, like Alzheimer's, or becoming a vegetable? Of course, it could be the destruction of certain internal organs. After all, Jennifer had used a new, untested drug; it had not undergone any clinical trials. Even if there was a clinical trial, the patient used would not consider whether they were healthy or whether they had good value or not…
The two bodyguards had just woken up from being rescued and were resting, but they immediately jumped up once they saw the son of their boss walk in.
Technically speaking, Madam Grace had failed due to her own miscalculation. She did not expect Jennifer not to give her any chance to delay the time, and she did not expect that she would be of such little value in Jennifer's eyes. If not for those two miscalculations, Madam Grace's plan would have worked. Therefore, things developed to such a state that Cedrick had no reason to blame Ye Shuang and the rest. After all, this was his mother's own miscalculation.
However, that did not mean that he could treat the situation rationally. As calmly as he tried to assess the situation, when he saw his own mother lying there unconscious and heard that there might be side effects that might befall her, Cedrick naturally had a hard time accepting reality.
”What should we now do?” Cedrick turned his negative emotions toward Han Chu's group who accepted his job. His resentment was so palpable that it almost suffocated the whole room. ”You promised you'd save her.”
”And we did, didn't we?” Han Chu titled his chin toward the bed and reminded Cedrick that this was all because of his people's work.
Cedrick gritted his teeth and could not help angrily hissing, ”Other than a pulse, I would like to remind you that she is now no different from a dead person.”
”But she's still alive, right?” Han Chu replied calmly. He glanced at the woman in bed and continued after a pause. ”Don't worry, she will pull through.”
Even though the new drug was highly destructive and there was no known antidote… as they had said earlier, no one had dealt with this drug before, so perhaps there was no side effect and things were not as bad as they thought.
Furthermore, even if there was some damage done to Madam Grace's body, it did not mean that it could not be cured with modern medical technology. Was Ye Shuang not the perfect example of that? Her body had been enhanced even though that enhancement could not be said to be particularly successfully.
With that in mind, Han Chu did not want to waste time with Cedrick anymore. He lowered his head to look through the hospital information that he had printed out. He picked out several pages and walked up to Ye Shuang. ”We will go do some examinations.”
”What examination?” Ye Shuang rolled her eyes.
