Chapter 37 How Had Stan’s Taste Changed So Much?
On the 23rd floor of the upscale ward, Stan and Mrs. Smith were waiting outside the corridor. Mrs. Smith occasionally glanced at the closed door of the ward, anxiously clutching her handkerchief. She asked Stan with a tense voice, “Stan, they’ve been inside for an hour. Haven’t they finished examining Daisy yet?”
Stan reassured her in a low voice, “Just relax, they are doctors, more professional than you and me. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“I hope they will give me some good news,” Mrs. Smith sighed.
Mrs. Smith had barely finished sighing when the closed door of the hospital room suddenly opened, and several blond, tall doctors walked out.
Stan asked the doctor in French, “How is the examination? Will she be able to wake up?”
“Sorry, Mr. Stan,” the doctor said politely, “Ms. Daisy has suffered severe brain damage. Even if we perform surgery, the chances of success are small. We suggest you wait a little longer and see if there is a miracle.”
The doctor’s words were euphemistic, but Stan understood.
The surgery carried a high risk, and it could directly lead to Daisy’s death. Not undergoing surgery meant the chance of Daisy waking up was zero, possibly leaving her in a vegetative

state for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Smith saw Stan talking to the doctor, but she couldn’t understand French, so she could only stand aside and wait anxiously.
After they finished their conversation, Mrs. Smith immediately grabbed Stan and asked, “Stan, what did the doctor say? When will Daisy wake up?”
“The doctor asked us to wait a little longer,” Stan said in a low voice. “Waiting for a miracle.”
“Waiting for a miracle…” Mrs. Smith repeated those words and quickly understood their meaning. Unable to bear the pressure, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
The nearby doctor acted quickly, supporting Mrs. Smith and guiding her toward the ward.
She regained consciousness after a minute, only to throw herself onto Daisy’s bed, holding her and crying, “My dear Daisy, how could you leave your mother all alone? How am I supposed to live? I wish I could bear this suffering for you…”
Stan tightly pursed his lips and remained silent.
After seeing off the medical team, he didn’t enter the ward again. Instead, he instructed the maid to accompany Mrs. Smith and soon left.
This was the top medical team in Switzerland, specializing in brain surgeries. They had performed numerous complex procedures without any failures.
However, as they arrived and conducted the diagnosis for

Daisy, they gave Stan the same answer as the other doctors.
It was a heavy blow that shattered his hopes completely. He left the hospital frustrated and drove past the entrance to the ward. It was then that he noticed a figure crouched by the pillar.
As Stan caught sight of the woman’s profile, he furrowed his brow and stopped the car.
Elsa had just exited the hospital when she felt a twinge of pain in her lower abdomen. The pain was so intense that she had to squat down to reduce it. Overwhelmed by her thoughts and emotions, she couldn’t hold back her tears and began to cry uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a tissue was handed to Elsa before her eyes.
“Thank you,” Elsa whispered, but she lacked the strength to take the tissue. Her hand remained tightly pressed against her abdomen. “Could you please help me call a nurse?”
“Menstrual cramps?” the familiar male voice asked.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Elsa hastily looked up.
It was Stan!
She was in intense pain from menstrual cramps, sweating profusely. She couldn’t pretend to smile at men like she used to. With a muffled response, her nasal voice indicated a cold.
Stan threw his bag into her arms and effortlessly lifted her sideways.
Elsa thought he was taking her to the outpatient department, but to her surprise, she was placed in the passenger seat of

The car drove away from the hospital and stopped next to a pharmacy.
While Elsa was sweating from the pain, Stan returned. And handed her two pills, along with a cup of water. “The pharmacist said these will help with menstrual cramps.”
“Thank you.” Elsa took the water cup and swallowed the pills.
As the car sped down the road, Elsa felt the pain in her abdomen gradually subside after taking the medication. After leaning against the passenger seat for a while, she felt better.
Stan glanced at his phone and then placed it on the car window. He asked Elsa, “What would you like to eat?”
“I’ll just eat at home,” Elsa smiled, feeling more energetic now that the menstrual pain had subsided. “Mr. Stan, please drop me off at the next intersection. I don’t want to bother you with your work.”
“If I don’t take care of it, you’ll still be lying next to the pillar at the hospital.” Stan glanced at her. “Consider it a meal you owe
me.”
Elsa remained silent.
Thinking about how Stan just bought medicine for her and helped her, Elsa smiled. “I should thank you, Mr. Stan. So, what would you like to eat?”
Stan drove Elsa to a renowned restaurant.
As the evening approached and it was dinner time, the restaurant was bustling with customers. Fortunately, as they

arrived, the guests in a private room happened to be paying their bills and leaving.
Although Elsa rarely dined with Stan, when he stayed at the apartment, he would occasionally have meals delivered by Morton. After a few times, she realized he liked heavy flavors and enjoyed spicy food. Even the takeout delivered at noon would consist of spicy dishes.

Elsa rested her chin on her hands as she watched him order.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his facial features were cold and hard, which gave him an air of indifference. He often. wore suits and had a tall and slender figure, adding a little asceticism to his overall demeanor.
After being together for one year until their breakup, Elsa had never seen him lose control. He seemed robotic, always composed and calm.
When she heard him order a congee with sliced meat, her heart skipped a beat. And wondered if he was considerate of her period and brought her to eat nourishing food.
“Why did you go to the hospital?”
“Huh?” He asked her suddenly, interrupting her thoughts.
Elsa was caught off guard by his question, but she didn’t hide anything from him. “My grandfather has a rare illness and has been hospitalized since last year. Whenever I have time, I go to visit him.”
Stan asked calmly, “Have you been to other hospitals for

consultations?”
“I’ve consulted every doctor I could afford,” Elsa smiled, and her gaze dimmed. “But they don’t have any research data on this particular illness. They’re unwilling to perform surgery on him, so he relied on medicine to continue to live this year.”
After a while, Elsa continued, “However, his attending physician mentioned knowing a Switzerland medical team. specializing in brain surgeries. Perhaps they could help my grandfather with the operation.”
Stan tapped his cigarette on the ashtray, his fingertips knocking against it. After a brief silence, he asked, “Hirslanden?”
“It seems so…” Elsa only glanced at it when she got the contact information from the doctor. When she heard Stan mention it, she thought it looked familiar and immediately took out the paper given by the doctor from her bag.
Upon discovering that the medical team mentioned by Stant was Hirslanden.
“Mr. Stan, do you have any cooperation with them?” Elsa wasn’t stupid, and she believed that if Stan knew about this medical team, he might be able to contact them. “I’ve heard that it is hard to get an appointment, but my grandfather’s condition is deteriorating, and he can’t hold on much longer.
Elsa breathed deeply and begged the man, “Can you arrange for them to see Old Mr. Ayesa?”
When the man remained silent, Elsa gritted her teeth and added, “Or if you have another condition, we can negotiate.”

She wanted her grandfather to live well, even if it meant sacrificing everything to make it happen.
