Chapter 269: Jiayu makes a major discovery about her grandmother
Qi Tianlin's eyes widened as he watched Jia Jingyu's face change rapidly.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by this incredible scene.
It is hard to imagine that a living person can become no longer young in an instant.
Qi Tianlin was also very heartbroken. As a non-blood relative, he couldn't bear to see Jia Jingyu grow old so quickly, let alone his wife who was Jia Jingyu's relative.
The medical staff surrounding the bed also witnessed the changes in Jia Jingyu and showed shocked expressions.
This was the first time they encountered a patient who aged at an alarming rate.
But they realized that their existence was to protect the patient from accidents, so they immediately divided the work and started the medical equipment.
A medical staff member had already picked up the oxygen mask and was ready to put it on Jia Jingyu.
However, Qi Tianlin stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
Qi Tianlin thought that Jia Jingyu had just aged into middle-aged appearance, but Jia Jingyu's actual age was already in his sixties.
If medical intervention is performed before the patient has recovered to the state before the miracle, something bad may happen.
He stopped the medical staff from taking action because he wanted to wait until Jia Jingyu recovered to her appearance before she changed her fate before performing any medical intervention.
After all, this medical team was encountering such a patient for the first time. They listened to Qi Tianlin and stopped what they were doing.
When Jiayu heard her husband shouting to stop the medical staff, she thought something had happened and was extremely worried. She quickly turned around and looked at her grandfather on the hospital bed.
At this time, Jia Jingyu's face had aged to the point where wrinkles appeared.
Looking at the face that was changing so quickly, Jiayu felt so heartbroken that he almost fainted.
She couldn't believe that her previously young and handsome face was now covered with wrinkles.
Qi Tianlin said to Jiayu calmly:
"Before you completely recover, don't do any medical intervention. I'm worried that something might happen."
Jiayu nodded, the tears in her eyes almost blurring her vision.
In the next half minute, she no longer chose to turn her back, but witnessed with her own eyes her grandfather changing from a middle-aged man to an old man with completely white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
His body was so emaciated that he was just skin and bones.
My grandfather is only in his sixties in StarCraft, but he looks older than those in their eighties or nineties.
She is about the same age as her grandparents, but she looks like they are two generations apart.
Jiayu was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe and his chest felt extremely stuffy and uncomfortable.
She couldn't imagine how hard her grandfather's life had been for most of his life, and how he had worked himself to such an old age.
When Jia Jingyu's appearance stopped changing, Qi Tianlin ordered the medical staff to use the equipment, perform artificial intervention, and check the patient's vital signs.
In order not to disturb the medical staff, Qi Tianlin took Jiayu out of the ward.
Outside the ward, Jialan and her two families were waiting anxiously in the corridor.
Especially Jiamu Housi, who walked around and couldn't sit still.
As soon as he saw Qi Tianlin and the others coming out, Mr. Jia couldn't wait to step forward and ask:
"What's wrong, kid? Did your grandpa bring you back?"
Jiayu nodded with red eyes.
Qi Tianlin said to everyone calmly:
"It's been sent back, and the doctor is checking it out inside."
At this moment, Jia's mother, whose eyes were also red, hugged her daughter in her arms and said distressedly:
"It's okay, grandpa will be fine."
Jia Jingyu is her biological father, and Jia's mother is more worried about Jia Jingyu's safety than anyone else at this moment.
Father Jia hugged his wife and daughter and comforted them:
"Yes, it's okay. The medical level in the stars is higher than that in modern times. We should trust the doctors."
After a while, Qi Tianlin persuaded the two elderly people and his own parents to go home, and only he and his wife were left outside the operating room.
Jiayu and her mother sat on a bench, holding each other's hands. They seemed quiet on the surface, but their eyes were somewhat empty and dull.
Father Jia stood at the door of the operating room, his back to his wife and daughter, his face solemn.
Qi Tianlin was leaning against the wall in the corner, with his arms folded, his head slightly lowered, and a dazed expression. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
Just then, there was a noise from the operating room door.
Immediately, four pairs of eyes filled with expectation and nervousness fell on the door of the operating room.
A middle-aged doctor came out at this time, holding a folder in his hand.
After looking at Qi Tianlin and the others, the doctor spoke:
"Who are the patient's family members?"
Jiayu and her parents walked over quickly.
Qi Tianlin said: "We all are."
Jiayu swallowed and asked nervously:
"Doctor, is my grandpa okay? Is he awake?"
The doctor said, "It is like this. After examination, we found that the patient's organs were in moderate failure, mostly due to fatigue and worry. The patient's desire to survive is not very strong. He is still in a coma, but his life is not in danger for the time being."
Jia's mother asked anxiously:
"So when will he wake up?"
Doctor: "It's mainly because the patient doesn't have a strong desire to survive and doesn't want to wake up. There's nothing we doctors can do about it."
"Let's put it this way. After the patient is transferred to the general ward, the family members should talk to the patient frequently. If the patient has a desire to survive, he will wake up quickly."
*
Two days later, Jia Jingyu was transferred from the ICU to the ward.
Jiayu and her daughter stayed by the bed, one holding Jia Jingyu's hand and the other wiping Jia Jingyu's face.
"He is determined to sacrifice himself and set the interstellar artificial intelligence technology back 500 years. And with his grandmother gone, how can his desire to survive be strong?"
"He wishes something bad would happen to him in modern times."
Jiayu held her grandfather's hand tightly, her eyes red and she choked with sobs.
Mother comforts:
"Don't worry, your grandpa will wake up. Let's talk to him more."
"By the way, tell him more about the fact that your grandmother might still be alive. Maybe he won't be so depressed."
As soon as her mother finished speaking, Jiayu felt her grandfather's fingers moving in her hand.
This discovery made her tremble all over, and she immediately and happily told her mother the good news:
"Mom, it moved. Grandpa's hand just moved."
Jia's mother said happily and anxiously:
"Hurry up, tell your grandpa more about grandma. He must have sensed what you said and knew that grandma is still alive, so he is eager to wake up."
Jiayu put her grandfather's palm against her cheek to warm it, looked at her grandfather's old face, and called softly:
"Grandpa, you can hear me, right? You must get better, you know that? Grandma may still be alive, and may be in the stars right now. Wake up quickly, and let's go find grandma together. You and grandma haven't enjoyed the joy of family time together yet."
When she called out, Jia Jingyu's fingers twitched even faster.
Finally, after a few minutes, Jia Jingyu's eyelashes moved.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
The cloudy eyes were stunned when they came into contact with the ceiling.
This place doesn't look like a modern building, but rather like one from the stars.
Could it be... that he has returned to the interstellar space?
Did his daughter and granddaughter really send him back?
Thinking of the existence of Lin Yuan's team, Jia Jingyu's heart ached and he couldn't stop worrying.
He has no ability to compete with Lin Yuan's team now. If he is discovered to be back, he will be dead.
His relatives will also suffer.
If he hadn't come back, he could still stop Lin Yuan's team's plan to use artificial intelligence to rule the earth.
As soon as the heart rate changes, the instrument nearby will sound an alarm.
Jiayu thought something had happened and was extremely nervous, but at the same time, she was very happy to see that her grandfather had finally woken up.
"Grandpa, you finally woke up. Tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable now? I'll find a doctor to come and see you."
Jia Jingyu wanted to speak, but the oxygen mask stopped him.
He moved his fingers laboriously and pointed at his face.
Jiayu understood and said quickly:
"Grandpa, your vital signs are unstable right now. Keep it on first. We can talk later. Your health is important."
Thinking that grandpa might be worried about the situation in the interstellar world and that was why he was so excited, Jiayu said:
"Grandpa, don't worry. We are safe now. We have resolved the crisis in the interstellar space. Lin Yuan's team has also been completely dismantled. The control center has also been stabilized."
Jia Jingyu was speechless and looked at Jiayu with a half-believing and half-doubting look.
Knowing what his eyes wanted to express, Jiayu nodded and replied:
"Really, Grandpa, I didn't lie to you. The crisis is really over. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to rashly take you back to the interstellar."
"We came back early to resolve the crisis before going back to bring you back, so you don't have to worry about the crisis still happening."
After she said this, Jia Jingyu's emotions gradually stabilized.
In the following days, someone from the Jialan and Lan families came to the hospital every day to visit Jia Jingyu and talk to him about what had happened in StarCraft during the twenty years that he was away from StarCraft.
The topics they talked about ranged from things that happened twenty years ago to things that happened just a month ago.
It was during this time in the hospital that Jia Jingyu met her daughter's in-laws and her granddaughter's in-laws one by one.
After more than half a month of recuperation, his health had improved a little, but he was very clear about his final condition.
On the day of discharge, Jia Jingyu specifically sent his family away and asked the attending physician to stay in the ward.
"Doctor, tell me honestly, how long can my body last?"
"I know my body very well. If I can really take good care of it, I won't feel any signs of improvement in the past half month."
"I know my body too well. I've worked too hard physically and mentally in the first half of my life. I'm afraid all my organs have failed. It would be a miracle if I could take good care of myself."
"Please tell me the truth, so that I can cherish the time I spend with my family in my last days."
"Hey."
The doctor looked heavy-hearted, lowered his head and sighed before replying:
"Sir, according to the average life expectancy of our interstellar people, everyone can live to at least over a hundred years old. You are only in your sixties, in the prime of life. How come you are so exhausted? How much did you not take care of your body in the past?"
"Given your current condition, you probably only have five or six years left at most. But don't worry too much, our hospital will do its best to protect you."
"Maybe by then there will be a special medicine that can prolong your life, and then you can continue to live."
"A good mood is very important for the body. After being discharged from the hospital, you must keep a happy mood and avoid excessive worry."
Jia Jingyu curled his lips in relief and said weakly:
"That's enough. Five or six years is enough. At least I can spend a few more years with my daughter and granddaughter. I should be content."
At this time, in a corridor leading to the ward, Qi Tianlin felt something was wrong and said to Jiayu as he walked:
"Yu'er, why do I feel like Grandpa sent us away on purpose to ask the doctor about his physical condition?"
Jiayu walked absent-mindedly, not knowing what he was worried about.
After hearing what her husband said, she replied calmly:
"Since he was transferred to the general ward, we have had people guarding the ward day and night, and grandpa has had no chance to learn about his condition. He is going to be discharged today, and we sent everyone away just to ask the doctor about his physical condition."
Qi Tianlin was worried:
"The doctor said that grandpa only has five or six years left. I wonder what grandpa would think when he knew that he only has a few years left to live."
Jiayu didn't say anything, her eyes were red.
Although she only had five or six years left to accompany her grandfather, she selfishly hoped that he could live for more than a hundred years.
If possible, she hopes that her grandfather can return to his twenties and live a good life again.
"If grandpa was still my brother, would he have lived longer..."
As he finished speaking, tears rolled down Jiayu's cheeks.
Qi Tianlin squeezed his wife's shoulders with heartache.
"Let's not be pessimistic yet. Maybe grandpa's health will take a turn for the better in the future."
Speaking of the turning point, Qi Tianlin suddenly remembered something, curled his lips with joy, and couldn't wait to tell his wife:
"By the way, Yu'er, maybe grandpa has a chance to recover to his youthful appearance."
Jiayu frowned, "Tianlin, are you okay? Why don't I understand what you are saying?"
Qi Tianlin said: "Yu'er, didn't you interrogate Lin Yuan? You told me that Lin Yuan wanted to use artificial intelligence to rule the interstellar for two reasons. One was to become the overlord of the interstellar, and the other was to find the limited amount of elixir of life."
Jiayu: "So this is what you are talking about."
She confessed:
"After returning to StarCraft, I have been asking my grandparents to secretly investigate the elixir of life, but there has been no clue."
"Lin Yuan did tell me that if grandpa wants to recover as he was before after returning to the interstellar, the elixir of immortality is the only way."
"But grandpa and grandma haven't found any clues yet, and Lin Yuan doesn't know which team developed the elixir of life."
"This medicine is very scarce. Even Lin Yuan doesn't know where it is, so we have no chance of finding it."
"I know this is the only way for Grandpa to survive, but... I really have no idea."
"Even if I know where the elixir of life is, I will get it even if I have to sacrifice myself."
Qi Tianlin's heart twitched, and he quickly interrupted his wife:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't joke about your life in the future. Let's discuss this matter carefully."
"Grandpa is the greatest scientist in the universe. I believe he will be blessed by fate!"

Two months later, Jiayu made a major discovery.
After Jia Jingyu was discharged from the hospital, she went to the time machine control center every day.
In order to find the whereabouts of my grandmother, I stayed in the archives room every day, reviewing surveillance archives from the past 20 to 30 years.
She wanted to find out whether the young woman who appeared in the center of the time machine was her grandmother.
Finally, two months later, all the images of grandma appearing in the time machine control center were discovered.
