Old Madam Ying did not look up.
She thought it must have been the caregiver who had returned after changing the water. ƒreewebɳovel.com
She was staying in the top-tier ward at the First Hospital, where no one else could enter without permission.
It was not until the visitor approached the bedside that Old Madam Ying realized something was wrong.
Her eyes widened in shock as she saw a middle-aged woman.
The woman’s face seemed somewhat familiar to her, yet it was indeed strange.
Old Madam Ying frowned, propped herself up with the bedboard, and slowly sat up, “Who are you? A new caregiver?”
“A caregiver? I am not,” Jing Hongzhen chuckled, “Old Madam, I just heard that you don’t have much time left, so I came to see you. What if you’re not here anymore later on?”
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ying’s face turned bright red with anger, “Get out! Get out!”
She started coughing violently, almost as if she was hacking up her lungs.
“No, Old Madam, wait until I have finished speaking, then I will naturally leave,” Jing Hongzhen pulled up a stool, sat down, and leaned in closer, “Old Madam, you’re quite elderly now, and you probably don’t recognize who I am.”
“But I remember vividly how you tore apart me and Zhenting back in the day.”
Old Madam Ying wanted to speak, but she couldn’t catch her breath and could only glare at Jing Hongzhen with fury.
“However, you’re receiving your retribution now,” Jing Hongzhen laughed again, “You forced your granddaughter to give blood to your daughter, and now she won’t save you, and you’re about to die.”
Old Madam Ying’s eyes grew even wider without having time to ponder who Jing Hongzhen really was, “What do you mean?!”
“Old Madam, you probably didn’t expect it, did you?” Jing Hongzhen’s voice was soft, “The foster daughter you looked down upon, Ying Zijin, is actually your own legitimate granddaughter.”
“As for Ying Yuexuan, she is my daughter.”
“It was also I who led Ying Luwei to abandon Ying Zijin and then switched the babies clandestinely, placing Xiao Xuan into the Ying Family.”
Old Madam Ying’s breathing became rapid; she was exhaling much more than she was inhaling.
She had no strength left to speak.
The pain in her head felt like many insects eating her brain, and her nerves were unraveling little by little with Jing Hongzhen’s words.
She had doted on an imposter for all these years?!
Not only that, but she also chased away her own granddaughter?
Old Madam Ying’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with the urge to tear something apart.
“Old Madam, it’s not that revenge isn’t sought, it’s just not time yet,” Jing Hongzhen spoke again, with a tone of pity, “Look at you, so pitiful. If you had only treated Ying Zijin well back then, wouldn’t she have saved you? You could have recovered by now.”
“What a pity, what a pity, Old Madam. Do you have any regrets?”
This time, Old Madam Ying was unable to draw breath and passed out.
“So weak in bearing,” Jing Hongzhen shook her head and sighed, “You brought this upon yourself, who else can you blame?”
She pressed the emergency button before leaving.

Late at night.
Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting hurried to the hospital.
The lights in the operating room were still on.
There was also a doctor outside the door.
Zhong Manhua was in a state of extreme anxiety as she quickly stepped forward, “Doctor, how’s my mom doing? Why did she suddenly faint?”
“We do not yet know the situation,” the doctor shook his head, “The patient appears to have been subject to some major emotional stimulus.”
Ying Zhenting frowned, “Stimulus? And a significant one?”
“Additionally, the patient has now fallen into a deep coma,” the doctor began cautiously, “There’s a ninety percent chance she’ll become a vegetative state or… brain-dead.”
Brain death signifies an irreversible loss of all brain functions, including the brainstem.
Brain death and actual death are no different.
As the doctor mentioned this, he frowned again, “Didn’t you all bring in Doctor Nora? If she were here, we could potentially perform surgery.”
Zhong Manhua’s legs gave out, and she collapsed onto a chair.
Nora had already returned to O-land, and without Pei Tianyi’s care for Ying Yuexuan, they would not have been able to bring her.
Zhong Manhua’s face was pallid.
All she could do was plead with Ying Zijin.

Verdant Middle School.
Noon.
Ying Zijin and Xiu Yu left school together for lunch and came across Zhong Manhua who had been waiting at the school gates for quite some time.
Xiu instinctively stood in front, her gaze cold, “Old woman, what do you want now?”
Given the urgency of the situation, Zhong Manhua could not care less about being insulted.
Her face displayed a plea for mercy, “Zijin, mom is begging you, truly, begging you, please save your grandma. The doctor said if we don’t perform surgery soon, your grandma will become vegetative.”
Ying Zijin’s hands were in her school uniform pockets, her head tilted slightly, her response as before, just two words, “Won’t save.”
