Chapter 780 Zhou Chen and Lucy clash over their views, with Zhou Chen accusing Lucy of being cold-bl
Lucy's father clearly pinned his hopes on Lucy, hoping she could say some comforting words to his wife and wake her from her coma.
Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious. When Lucy came out of the ward, Lucy's mother was still unconscious.
Lucy then went to the neonatal ward to see her little sister, who was quite weak because she had been born via C-section.
In addition, since the little girl's mother remained in a coma, Lucy's sister had to be placed in the neonatal intensive care unit where she was cared for by nurses.
Looking at her sleeping sister through the glass, Lucy wanted to reach out and touch her, but she was afraid of disturbing the little girl, so she eventually pulled her hand back.
"The little one is so cute. Are all newborns this small? I really want to hold her. I wonder if our child will be like this when he/she is born?"
By the way, my dad asked you to go out earlier. He didn't give you any trouble, did he?
Zhou Chen nodded and joked, "Your dad must be very disappointed in me, after all, I'm just a lowly doctor with a monthly salary of just over ten thousand."
You're even renting an apartment in Shanghai. Your dad might be worried about whether I'll be able to support you and your child in the future.
Lucy was taken aback by Zhou Chen's words. She didn't understand why Zhou Chen would hide his identity as a rich second-generation.
The shrewd Lucy quickly realized that this was because Zhou Chen didn't trust her father and was keeping an eye on him.
Lucy didn't accuse Zhou Chen of anything wrong, and Zhou Chen didn't want to explain too much either. "I don't believe your father, but that doesn't mean I don't believe you. Some things don't need explaining."
After seeing her younger sister, Lucy surprisingly said she wanted to go back on the way back to the ward, which immediately made Zhou Chen frown.
"Zhou Chen, my mom has seen it, and my sister has seen it too. There's nothing we can do to help if we stay. I'll tell my dad I'll stay and take care of my mom tonight. You should go back to the hotel and rest."
"Please pick me up tomorrow morning, and we'll go back to Shanghai together. I have some very important things to do at the company, and I can't waste my time here."
Zhou Chen looked at Lucy with disbelief. He hadn't expected her to say such a thing. After all, her own mother was lying in the hospital room, and she was planning to stay here for only one day before going back.
"Lucy, if you say that, your father will probably get angry again."
"You know, your own mother is lying in that hospital room. She's still unconscious, and you actually want to go back to Shanghai. He'll definitely scold you for being unfilial!"
Lucy understood this, of course, but she said nonchalantly, "Of course I understand what you're saying, but I'm not a doctor, and I can't help you if I stay here."
Before I left, I transferred 20,000 yuan to my father so he could hire a professional caregiver to take care of my mother, which would ease his burden.
You should know that our company is about to receive a big order, and I am the main person in charge of the project.
When my dad first called me, I wasn't planning on coming over. I wanted to wait until I finished this big deal before coming back.
I came here because of your advice, and now that I've seen the doctor, I'm completely helpless regarding my mother's condition.
I'm not a doctor, and staying here wouldn't be of any help. Rather than wasting time, I'd rather go back to work in Shanghai, because they can't do without me there.
Lucy's words seemed perfectly reasonable, but Zhou Chen frowned because he didn't agree with them.
Lucy, of course, noticed Zhou Chen's dissatisfaction, so she spoke first: "I know you want to persuade me, but I don't think it's necessary. This is the decision I've made."
Sigh, these words made Zhou Chen frown even more. Did Lucy not even want to listen to his words of advice?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Chen still spoke up: "Lucy, in principle this is your family matter and I shouldn't interfere, but don't you think what you're doing is heartless?"
I know you're thinking about work, but is making money for capitalists more important than taking care of your mother?
"If you need money, you can tell me. If you want to prove your abilities at work, I can understand that. But your own mother is lying in that hospital bed. Are you just going to abandon her like this?"
Zhou Chen didn't give Lucy any face at all, and instead directly accused her of being cold-blooded and heartless at this moment.
Zhou Chen really wanted to ask, is work really that important to Lucy?
Lucy's expression changed at this moment. She could understand if Zhou Chen tried to persuade her, but she might not listen.
But now, instead of trying to persuade Lucy, Zhou Chen directly accused her of being cold-blooded. Zhou Chen's attitude was very serious, and it was clear that their views were different. Zhou Chen was a little angry.
Lucy wanted to explain, but Zhou Chen interrupted her, saying, "Lucy, even if you have conflicts with your family, are your conflicts so big that you can disregard your mother's life?"
I understand that you said you're not a doctor and can't help, but I am a doctor, and in my opinion, your mother won't last more than a few days.
Sometimes money isn't everything. I'm so rich, but when my parents were in a car accident, I still couldn't save them.
Lucy, in my opinion, sometimes attitude is more important than anything else. She is your own mother. Even if you can't really help her, have you really taken good care of her?
You're so cold-blooded now, it scares me. You treat your own seriously ill mother like this; what will you choose between work and your child after our child is born? Can you even be a good mother?
Faced with Zhou Chen's question, Lucy fell silent. She didn't know how to refute Zhou Chen, because her attitude towards her mother just now had already explained the problem.
Lucy gently stroked her belly. She really wanted to say that she could be a good mother, but she didn't seem to have the confidence to do so.
After hearing Zhou Chen's explanation, Lucy also realized that she had indeed been somewhat cold-blooded.
If it were her own child lying in the hospital bed, Lucy could assure herself that she would prioritize her child's well-being. She reminded herself of this, and she was determined to be a good mother in the future.
"Zhou Chen, are you lying to me? Is my mother's condition really that serious?"
I really didn't want to abandon my mother. I just wanted to finish my work and then come see her. Is it really true that she won't last more than a few days?
Lucy panicked when she thought of Zhou Chen's words. What did he mean by "Mom won't last more days"? Was Mom going to die?
Lucy immediately tried to run towards the ward, but Zhou Chen stopped her and pulled her into his arms.
Zhou Chen hugged Lucy and comforted her, saying, "Lucy, I was only talking about the worst-case scenario. It doesn't mean your mother has no hope."
Giving birth at over 50 years old is extremely exhausting, and it can be very dangerous.
If your mother wakes up, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if she doesn't wake up for a long time, the loss of life will cause a complete collapse of her bodily functions. You need to prepare for the worst.
Lucy was clearly unable to accept this worst outcome. She pounded on Zhou Chen's chest and asked why this had happened.
What could Zhou Chen say? This is a danger that older mothers must face. Lucy's mother should have been mentally prepared for complications during childbirth when she was pregnant with her second child.
Childbirth is inherently physically demanding; otherwise, some women wouldn't be able to give birth for hours in the delivery room, let alone Lucy's mother, who is over fifty years old.
Lucy's mother suffered severe bleeding during childbirth, and her body is now very weak. In Zhou Chen's opinion as a professional doctor, Lucy's mother probably won't be able to hold on much longer, and at most, she will only have a few more days left.
