Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Yes, yes, my wife is the best and our daughter is even better.”
Standing at the doorway, Serena bit her lower lip, her nails digging deep into her palm. She didn’t expect her parents to praise Mirabella so highly behind her back!
On the other hand.
Bard led Mirabella from the helipad into the main building, which was opulently decorated and exuded an air of elegance.
“Your room is on the second floor. I have had it cleaned and all the furniture, the bed, sofa, and chairs, has been replaced. Let me take you there.”
“I’m sorry for making you go through all the trouble.”
“Don’t be silly, I’m delighted to have you here. I originally wanted to renovate the entire second floor in your liking, but was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough time and it would inconvenience you.”
Bard took her to the second floor for a tour. Every piece of decoration and design reflected the high taste of its owner.
“This is your bedroom.”
Bard opened the door, revealing a spacious, bright, and inviting room.
“Let me know if you need anything else, I will get it for you.”“Everything’s great.” Mirabella scanned the room, “Which floor is Grandpa on? I want to see him.”
“He’s in the hospital. His condition is stable for now. Rest a bit and I’ll take you to see him tomorrow.”
Just as Bard finished speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from the hospital. His expression darkened a bit.
“Alright, I understand. We’ll decide what to do when I get there. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
After hanging up, he turned to Mirabella and said, “Your grandfather’s condition has suddenly worsened.
We’ll discuss it on the way.”
“Okay: Mirabella had reviewed her grandfather’s medical records before she came. Initially, he just felt a little chest tightness and found walking to be strenuous. After a medical examination revealed high blood pressure and cholesterol, he didn’t take it too seriously and was just taking some medication to alleviate the chest discomfort and maintaining regular exercise.
Later, he started to experience shortness of breath, chest tightness, and excessive sweating, often falling asleep immediately afterwards.
“The doctor in charge at that time had prescribed medications for shortness of breath, but there was little improvement. Your grandpa was always complaining about discomfort. So, I consulted another doctor who felt that something was off about your grandpa’s condition. Can you quess what it was?”
Bard asked, turning to the young girl sitting next to him.
Mirabella nodded slightly. “People with chest discomfort can’t just fall asleep instantly”
“Exactly! The second doctor said the same. He also mentioned that your grandpa usually had high blood pressure. But when they checked, his blood pressure was sometimes extremely low, even immeasurable. They suspected a heart attack and recommended hospitalization.”
During the hospital stay, a CT scan revealed a strip shadow in the old man’s pericardium. However, the medical team was clueless about how to handle it. They had no choice but to seek treatment abroad.
“Your grandmother was seriously ill at the time, and your uncle couldn’t manage it all by himself. So, I took your grandpa to Dawnstar and admitted him to the hospital here. After detailed examinations, they found a lot of fluid in his pericardium. They conducted a series of tests, ruling out viral pericarditis and tumor pericarditis. But despite all the tests, they couldn’t diagnose the disease or identify the cause”
Bard’s voice faltered, his heart aching for the old man’s sufferings. Every test meant either a blood draw or an injection, and the myriad of medications made Darren sick to his stomach. A few times, Darren grabbed Bard’s hand, pleading to let go.
He was really tired, didn’t want to struggle anymore.
“Your grandpa stayed in the hospital for a long time. They couldn’t find the cause of his illness. Last week, he was struggling to breathe, his heart rate was high, and he was sweating profusely. Themedical team resuscitated him once. But just a few days later, he’s uncomfortable again, with symptoms even worse than before.”
Mirabella ventured, “Could they have missed something?”
“Missed something?”
“Some conditions can’t be diagnosed with routine tests”
“Will you take a look at your grandpa later?”
“Sure.”
Upon reaching the hospital, Mirabella followed Bard to the VIP floor on the sixteenth floor. The nurses here were exceptionally polite to him, and even the medical team was waiting.
“Mr. Sampson”
“Mr. Sampson, you’re here.”
“We’re waiting for your decision.”
“Let me introduce you to Mirabella Collins. She’s a wonder in medicine. Tell her the details, and take her to see the patient.”
The doctors all looked at Mirabella, their faces expressing their doubts.
Was Mr. Sampson desperate to try anything, even bringing such a young girl to help?
She looked barely into her teens.
Did she understand medicine at all?And they, respected doctors, were expected to guide her, explaining the patient’s condition to her.
Was this a joke?
“Are you not going?”
Upon hearing Bard’s words, the doctors suppressed their displeasure and led Mirabella to the patient, explaining his condition over the past few days.
Mirabella entered the ward. It was the first time she was meeting her grandfather. He was lying in bed with his eyes closed, frail but it was not hard to imagine how dashing and charismatic he must have been in his youth.
Mirabella glanced at the readings on the monitor next to the bed and gently placed her slender fingers on her grandpa’s wrist.
The doctors exchanged confused looks.
What was she doing?
Checking the pulse? Really?
How came she know that?
“How about we give his heart an ultrasound?” Mirabella suddenly suggested.
A few doctors were not pleased with this.
“Miss, are you commanding us? If I’m not mistaken, we are the primary physicians of the patient.”
“Could you speak with a little respect? This is our turf.
“How long have you been in this field?”
How dare she order them around at such a young age?
“I’m not familiar with this place, so could you please give him an ultrasound? Is there a problem with that?”
Mirabella looked at them straight in the eyes, neither humble nor arrogant. “It’s clearly a heart abnormality. Have you guys not even done an ultrasound before?”
“If an ultrasound could reveal anything, we would have found out already,’ one of the female doctors, Lisa, stood with her arms crossed, looking at Mirabella disdainfully. “bo we need to wait for you to direct us?”
“Doctor Lisa, don’t you Know what a disease progression is? Could the results of the ultrasound from last month be the same as this month? Could you please cooperate?”Lisa was suddenly infuriated. “What if I don’t cooperate?”
At this moment, Bard arrived at the door. “Not cooperate with what?”
“Mr. Sampson?” Lisa’s arrogance deflated a bit upon seeing him. “This girl wants to give the patient another ultrasound. We’ve done that before, and doing it again now would just be a waste of time.”
“Listen to her. Redo it.”
The doctors were confused. Why should they listen to a young girl?
“Didn’t you say that time is of the essence? Why aren’t you moving?”
With Bard’s words, two of the doctors had to swallow their pride and took the patient to the ultrasound room for another examination.
The other doctors followed to see if there was any difference in the ultrasound results this time!
“Bella, is there a problem?” Bard asked softly.
“I just noticed an abnormality in the heart, but I didn’t find any issues in the previous ultrasound results, so I want to redo it and check the results again.”
“You’re always so meticulous.” Bard noticed the empty patient room. “Let’s go and take a look too.”
The ultrasound results were out quickly.
Adeline specifically brought over the previous results and coldly presented them to Mirabella. “Could the doctor here please take a look? There’s no difference between these two results. Doing it again is just wasting the patient’s golden rescue time.”
If there was a problem, they would have found it already. Did they need a little girl to point it out?Bard’s gaze seemed to exert pressure from across the room. They all lowered their heads, stopped their sarcasm, and dared not say anything offensive again.
Mirabella looked at the ultrasound report in her hands. “You might as well donate your eyes if you’re not going to use them. The problem is so obvious in these two ultrasounds. Can’t anyone see it?”
The doctors were stunned and walked over disbelievingly to take a look.
“This black spot here could very likely be a bload clot.
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more incredulous.
