Elder Mr. Gu was ill, suffering from a minor stroke.
Thankfully, he was taken to the hospital in time, and after emergency treatment, he regained consciousness. However, this kind of disease is indeed dangerous, and the doctor suggested that surgery would be the best option.
But elder Mr. Gu was well advanced in years, and his physical condition was not as good as it seemed on the surface. The risks of surgery were relatively high. Therefore, the Gu family's preference was for temporary conservative treatment. If the condition could be controlled with medication, they would continue down that route, resorting to surgery only if absolutely necessary.
In fact, this was also what elder Mr. Gu wanted because he didn't want to find hope and then not be able to come out of the operating room.
He didn't want to die without having the chance to recognize his daughter...
His daughter! His own daughter!
