Looking at her mother sitting by the bed and carefully covering Ben with a quilt, Evelyn felt very uncomfortable. She took a glass of hot water and handed it to her. "Mom, drink some water. I've talked to the doctor. Dad had a cerebral infarction, but we'll know the details after a check-up tomorrow morning. I'll ask a friend of the Lane's Hospital to pick Dad up tomorrow morning."
"What else did the doctor say? How's your father now? Will he be in danger?"
"Her life is not in danger for the time being, but he needs surgery, so I want to transfer him to Lane's Hospital." Evelyn's words were not as serious as the doctor said. She was afraid that Lucy would not be able to bear such a blow.
"The Lane's Hospital..." Lucy couldn't remember. "It's..."
"It's Huston's friend's hospital." Evelyn continued, "The facilities there are better than here. As long as Dad goes there, there won't be a problem."
"Well, it's better to have acquaintances over there."
Evelyn looked at Ben, who was lying on the hospital bed in a hospital gown. He was still unconscious, with a breathing machine in his nose and a clip on his hand. Even though he had not woken up yet, his body was tense.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him. Her heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. Before her, she still looked like Ben when he was young. But time had passed and they had unknowingly aged.
Evelyn sniffled and held back her tears. She didn't want to be too sad in front of Lucy at this time, so she took her phone and went out to call Kevin.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. A familiar warm voice came from the other end of the line. "Evelyn?"
"It's me, Kevin."
Her voice was still trembling, which made Kevin nervous. He subconsciously thought that it had something to do with Huston. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"I'm fine. It's about my dad." Evelyn looked at the white wall in front of her and felt very depressed. "My dad had a sudden cerebral infarction this morning and was just rescued in the hospital. The doctor said that the blood vessels are blocked and need surgery."
