They Were All Family

This was a patient report and Ye Snr.'s current condition was detailed on that report.

The doctor looked at his family and paused for a moment before he said, "I have gathered all of you here so that you could discuss amongst yourselves and come to a conclusion. Mr. Ye's condition is very serious and his cancer has already spread to his lungs, liver, and other organs. In addition, his organs are showing signs of failing and there's a problem with his heart. The two heart specialists who checked on him have both reported that his heart valves have stiffened."

"Why don't you tell us when is he going for surgery?" Ye Yi snapped back in irritation. He didn't need to listen to the doctor chatter on about his father's illness since they all knew how serious his condition was. Didn't the doctor call them all in to sign off on some documentation?
