Chapter 435 -435: Second Brother Becomes a Vegetative Person
Lu Jingzhi’s tightly wound nerves relaxed suddenly upon hearing that there was still hope.
He comforted himself, thinking that as long as Doctor Qiao Se took charge, his younger brother would certainly be fine.
After all, Qiao Se was a top general practitioner, and even he, who had no connection with the medical field, had heard of Qiao Se’s great reputation.
Therefore, the Lu Family’s hope was rekindled.
Qiao Se was a refined and scholarly old man. He didn’t come alone, bringing with him a young and handsome man.
That was his son, Qiao Xun, only twenty-seven years old but already a heavyweight in the medical community.
The Lu Family was extremely flattered and surprised that even Qiao Xun had mobilized.
The confidence in the hearts of the Lu Family grew stronger.
With both of them in action, Lu Zhanxing’s life was essentially secured.
On the way there, the Qiao father and son had already been briefed on Lu Zhanxing’s condition and had discussed it beforehand. Because surgery couldn’t wait, they went straight into the operating room without even having time to greet Qiao Yun.
Watching the two doctors, hailed as miracle workers, enter the operating room, the Lu Family waited anxiously outside the door.
They kept telling themselves that everything would be okay, but they also feared hearing bad news again.
Especially as the surgery went on longer, every moment was excruciating for them.
Five hours had passed since the car accident, and their spirits had been severely tormented, yet they didn’t want to leave the operating room for even a moment.
Qiao Yun held a small rabbit tightly, sitting on the waiting chair outside the operating room, her black and white eyes staring unblinkingly at the door.
Her face was devoid of any emotion, apathetic to the point of seeming heartless.
Li Hanzhou looked at her and touched her hand, still so icy.

He took Qiao Yun’s hand and placed it in his coat pocket, trying to warm it up.
Qiao Yun blinked slowly and didn’t withdraw her hand, saying languidly, “Thank you.”
She did feel a touch of warmth.
Li Hanzhou didn’t say anything but tightened his grip on her hand a bit more.
Finally, the door of the operating room opened.
The Qiao father and son came out first.
The Lu Family approached anxiously, and Su Mian hurriedly asked, “Doctor Qiao, how’s my son? Is he alright now?”
The others didn’t speak, but their eyes were just as anxious.
Qiao Se removed his mask, his expression apologetic, “His life is saved, but if he doesn’t wake up by tomorrow, there’s a strong possibility that he will become vegetative. As for the other injuries on his body, there are no problems for now, but we still need to observe him for a while. However, he will not be able to engage in strenuous activities with his leg in the future.”
The words of Qiao Se made the Lu Family feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
What’s the difference between being vegetative and being dead?
He was still so young, with limitless prospects, yet he had encountered such a disaster.
Su Mian felt helpless and the tears fell drop by drop; what had her family done to deserve this? No sooner had they solved Qiaoqiao’s issue when her second son had an accident.
Lu Rui had a stronger ability to withstand this than Su Mian. It was better than not being saved at all; at least being vegetative meant there was a chance of waking up.
Lu Jingzhi asked hoarsely, “If he doesn’t wake up this time, how big is the chance that he will wake up later?”
Qiao Se sighed, “A zero point three percent chance. You must prepare yourself mentally, because even if he wakes up, he might have some issues with his intelligence.”
Hearing this, Su Mian’s vision went dark, and she finally couldn’t hold on any longer, fainting completely.
“Mom!” Lu Jingzhi exclaimed in shock.
Lu Rui hurried to support Su Mian.
The nurse beside her quickly came forward when she saw the situation and took Su Mian to the ward.
Qiao Yun stared blankly as they bustled about, feeling as though she was completely detached from the scene.
She blinked her stinging eyes and came to her senses, following Qiao Se’s footsteps out of the room.
She looked at the elderly man before her, lips pressed together, without saying a word.
Qiao Se touched her head affectionately, his voice filled with guilt, “Xiaoqiao, I’m sorry, even as your second grandpa I am just a mortal, I can’t be perfect, but rest assured I will find a way to fully heal your brother.”
Qiao Yun shook her head gently, “Second Grandpa, it’s okay, you’ve done very well.”
Had Second Grandpa not intervened to help, perhaps Lu Zhanxing would already be reporting to the King Yama Hall by now, at least his life had been saved for the moment.
But the thought that Lu Zhanxing might never wake up again caused the fingers Qiao Yun wrapped around the little rabbit to whiten from the force of her grip.
Seeing Qiao Yun like this made Qiao Se’s heart ache too.
Would the little darling, who had finally found family members to get close to, lose them again?
“Qiaoqiao, don’t be sad.” Qiao Xun looked at Qiao Yun, his voice low and gentle as he comforted her.
He hadn’t expected that, in less than half a year since Qiao Yun had returned to the Lu Family, she would experience such intense emotional fluctuations because of them, appearing more human.
Qiao Se, unable to bear it, said, “At this point, we can only seek Z’s help to save him. He’s a miraculous person, one whom even I have to admire. If he can make a move, there might be a chance for recovery. However, he’s so mysterious, having not appeared for several years now, I don’t know if you’ll be able to find him.”
Qiao Yun said with a determined look, “I will find him.”
Li Hanzhou had been following Qiao Yun closely, not disturbing their conversation. Hearing Qiao Yun’s words, his eyebrows twitched slightly with thought.
After expressing her gratitude to Second Grandpa, Qiao Yun headed towards the intensive care unit.
Watching Qiao Yun’s retreating figure, Qiao Se felt both proud and heartbroken, “Big Brother only passed away last year, and this year Xiaoqiao is facing the separation from loved ones through death again… I wonder if Big Brother would regret letting Xiaoqiao return home…”
Qiao Yun was very clever and also very powerful, having researched countless groundbreaking works with her talent.
But no matter how indifferent or unsophisticated she was, she couldn’t possibly remain untouched by these events.
When the matter of his elder brother was mentioned, Qiao Xun’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said to his father, “Dad, I’ll go take a look, you go back and rest.”
His father was old and had just gone through a high-intensity surgery, and Qiao Xun was afraid he wouldn’t be able to endure it.
“You are Xiaoqiao’s nominal uncle after all. Take good care of her. Although your niece is a professor whom everyone respects, she’s still so young and needs to be cherished.”
Qiao Xun nodded, “I understand.”
Qiaoqiao’s grandfather was his elder brother, so by seniority, he was indeed Qiaoqiao’s uncle.
Qiao Se slowly turned around, ready to rest for a while.
Once everyone had left, Lu Jingzhi walked out from around the corner with a complicated expression.
He had come to thank Doctor Qiao Se for saving his brother’s life but didn’t expect to see Qiao Yun and Doctor Qiao Se talking.
His mind was now in chaos.
Why did his sister seem very familiar with Doctor Qiao Se?
And what had Doctor Qiao Se said…
His sister’s grandfather was his elder brother, Qiao Xun was his sister’s uncle, and Doctor Qiao Se had said his sister was a professor??
What exactly was going on…
So, Doctor Qiao Se’s coming to save his brother was because of his sister’s relationship??
Qiao, surnamed Qiao…
A thought struck Lu Jingzhi’s heart, and an answer was about to surface.
“Professor Qiao…”
