"We have to wait until the patient is in a stable condition. The main thing now is to set the patient's mind at rest so she could better receive treatment."
After the doctor finished speaking, Meredith lowered her head.
It sounded easy, but could Penelope bear such a huge blow?
"Is there any other possibility?"
Derek took Meredith's hand and asked.
The doctor thought for a moment. "Perhaps. My teacher is an expert in brain medicine. He has retired long ago and now lives in Capital City to do researches. If we can find him and let him treat the patient, maybe there is a better way."
Meredith clenched her lower lip when she heard that. It sounded that it was hard to ask the old professor to come.
However, for Penelope's sake, no matter how hard it was, she was willing to do it.
"I see."
Meredith nodded, thanked him and left.
Derek followed her and looked at her worriedly.
Now, Meredith didn't look panicky or helpless anymore. She was calm.
However, that did not make him feel relieved. Instead, he was more worried.
After all, Meredith was not the kind of person who didn't offer help under such circumstances. And he was worried that she was hiding her thoughts and trying to be strong.
"I'm going to find the professor. No matter what the price is, I'm going to get him to come over and treat Penelope."
Meredith said word by word. She had experienced too much, and now, she was not the same incompetent woman that she used to be.
It was not time for feeling sad. What was more important was to find a way to invite the expert over. What ever the result, at least she would try her best.
"Okay, I'll contact him for you too. I'll definitely find a way to cure her eyes."
Hearing Derek's words, Meredith took a deep breath and stood outside for a while to calm down.
She could not pass on negative emotions to Penelope, which would only make her worse.
...
Mrs. Garcia stayed with Penelope for a long time. Penelope was tired from crying. After knowing that she was blind, she just sat in bed and no one knew what she was thinking.
Mrs. Garcia felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife at the sight of Penelope's dejected look. If she could, she wanted to bear the pain for her daughter, but she couldn't.
"Penelope, you just woke up. Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"
Mrs. Garcia perked up and wanted to talk to Penelope.
Penelope was still immersed in her thoughts and did not answer.
Mrs. Garcia's heart sank. "Penelope, Penelope?"
Penelope just opened her empty eyes and looked at the thing in front of her without any reaction.
"Penelope, talk to your mother. Don't scare her!"
Mrs. Garcia was on the verge of breaking down. She would rather have Penelope cry and make a scene like she just did, than be as quiet and silent as a doll. It seemed that Penelope was in despair.
After getting the news, Damian rushed to the hospital and heard Mrs. Garcia's desperate cry. Before speaking to Derek, he rushed into the ward to check on the situation.
"Something's wrong. Let's go in quickly."
Meredith didn't know what was going on either, so she quickly followed.
When she entered the ward, she only saw Penelope sitting on the bed numbly, not responding to anything around her.
She went from one extreme to another.
She turned from irrational to completely numb.
