Chapter 16 Responsibility to the end

I woke up again in a spacious and bright room, and the pure white decoration made everything look spotless.

Consciousness slowly regained little by little, along with perception.

It was as if she had a lead nug in her head, groggy, and the pain and swelling were gradually increasing as her perception returned, and she felt nothing but pain—she didn't even know if her skull was still there.

Is it in a dream? Consciousness is half a beat slower than pain.

For a moment she realized pessimistically that this was not a dream, it was so uncomfortable—this cruel reality. She was now lying in a hospital bed, her regained hearing and she realized that there were several machines monitoring her vital signs—and it appeared that she was not lightly injured.

So, not being able to feel the braincase means ......

Woc!

She was so frightened that she woke up from her daze, and even though her arm weighed a thousand pounds, she overcame many obstacles to slowly lift her forearm......

"Wake up, where is it uncomfortable?Do you need to call medical staff?" Ouyang Xun stepped forward to support her forearm raised in the air, Xia Yao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

is different from the usual neat, cold and arrogant, Ouyang Xun seems to have changed - she has never seen him like this, whether it is in front of the camera or getting along day and night in the past few days, she has never shown this side.

The hair was a little messy, the chin was a light cyan beard, the eyes were visibly bloodshot, and the look was even more different - anxious, distressed, concerned, flustered...... All kinds of things are mixed together, and that enthusiasm is a little flattering and irresistible.

"The rocker arm came loose and hit you. ”

His voice was so gentle that it could drip water, and his palm carefully rubbed the top of her head and forehead, which had been tightly wrapped around the bandages, and slid down to her pale and bloodless cheeks—the already small face was now smaller, and Ouyang Xun could cover it with one hand.

Facing his colleagues who are as tender as ink and water, Xia Yao is even more uneasy about his state - is it true that he has lost half of his head??

"What's wrong?" his warm palm caressed her face.

Ouyang Xun's palms have always been dry, warm and powerful, but for the first time, the tension made him even wet his palms with sweat - even if he first appeared on the stage ten years ago, he was not necessarily half as anxious and restless as he is now, at most his mouth was dry.

"I ...... Is the skull still there?"

When the words came out, Xia Yao was so nervous that she held her breath, for fear that the person in front of her nodded heavily, with a "I'm sorry" expression on her face.

He chuckled, and then his face was scratched twice, as if he was teasing the kitten: "What do you think? Except for a handful of hair, nothing else is missing." ”

"Hair?"

"Smashed on the left side of the top of the head, and the only way to treat the wound was to shave the hair. It's okay, you can't see ...... in your ponytail," he paused thoughtfully for a second, "Your hair should grow faster than removing the bandage." ”

???What are these words? Are you comforting her? Thank you, borrowing your kind words. Xia Yao thought to herself angrily. Have you ever taken care of a patient, this is what to say to a weak woman who has just woken up from a difficult escape and has not fully recovered her consciousness?

And the fact is that Ouyang Xun really didn't take care of the patient.

"It's okay, I don't dislike it. Ouyang Xun pinched her face, thinking that the resentment on this face was caused by her hair.

"Who cares if you dislike it or not!" Xia Yao turned his head, avoiding his palm.

Ouyang Xun didn't care about it anymore, for fear that she would spend too much physical strength if she was just sober and in good spirits. After a while, he called the medical staff and gave her various physical examinations.

According to the medical staff, she was in a coma for nearly 18 hours, but it was within the normal range, and she had a slight concussion and a deep wound, but fortunately it did not hurt her bones, but the pain was with her for many days. The length of time the bandage is worn varies from half a month to a month, and the pain lasts a little longer, basically eight to ten weeks.

During this time, we should pay attention to rest, do not use the brain excessively, do not exercise vigorously, maintain a good mood, and have no taboos. After three days of observation in the hospital, he can be discharged if there is no problem.

After the medical examination, she remembered that this was the United States! The ambulance was called for $1,000! Several Americans around her had made a serious promise that they would not get into the ambulance as long as their legs were not lost.

She had also heard stories about a fainted man who woke up and found himself in an ambulance, jumped straight into the ambulance in a moment of panic......

There was also an injury while playing ball, and his companion enthusiastically helped call an ambulance, but the injured person covered his bleeding forehead and refused to get into the car and chose to walk to the hospital......

Xia Yao vaguely remembered that someone shouted to call an ambulance before she was completely unconscious......

There are also the current medical expenses! Medicine, equipment, manpower and material resources...... Who took it upon himself to give her such a luxurious ward?!

Just now, I only felt spacious and bright, but now I realize that this is not an ordinary ward at all! It is simply the configuration of a four-star hotel: toilets, sofas, guest beds, coffee tables, and completely burst my own simple little apartment!

Although the school's medical insurance is a conscience medical insurance: minor illnesses, ordinary vaccines, and annual physical examinations do not cost extra money, and 90% of major illnesses can be reimbursed, but this time the cost of her base is huge (the cost of medical treatment in the United States is ten times that of China, or the number alone does not consider the interest rate), even if it is only 10%, it is not a lovely price.

And the school absolutely! refuses! to bear the cost of this ward! This is a wicked capitalist society, do you think that the blood-sucking capitalists are stupid?

It was impossible for her, who had been in a coma, to say, "I was going to go to a luxurious ward, unless I was lowered." So......

She turned her interrogating gaze to the only person in the room who was now accompanied by her—who had just sat in the adjacent bed in order to make room for the paramedics. It must be him, Xia Yao thought to herself, but she didn't have the strength to yell, she suddenly felt a wave of fatigue, and the sudden pain in her head made her just want to lie down.

"Is it the ward you opened?" As soon as she had her last breath, she had to ask for the fee.

"The best ward, the medicine with the least side effects. I ...... the cost"

The conversation was interrupted by the opening of the door, Xia Yao turned her head dissatisfied, and when she saw that it was a nurse, she immediately adjusted her expression and showed a serene smile, fatigue made her a little weak.

The nurse is here to deliver healthy meals, and there is also a menu for Ouyang Xun to choose from - it seems that this is not only a luxury ward, but also a luxury family ward.

The nurse took note of Ouyang Xun's order, and then came to serve Xia Yao: raised the upper half of the bed a little slope, unfolded the small table and pulled her to her chest, arranged the food, tableware, disinfectant wipes, and kindly told her that she could add more if it was not enough;

The one who gives the money is the ancestor. Xia Yao now felt like she was being served as an ancestor, and she was sincerely frightened and extremely uneasy. She'd rather be looked down upon—at least it doesn't cost money.

In the end, the nurse looked at Xia Yao with some envy and told her: Your boyfriend is so good to you, you are so lucky, you two are very sweet. Then say a polite goodbye.

Xia Yao's hand that was about to take the yogurt froze in mid-air, and it was still held there until the door was closed.

"Boyfriend?" she asked Ouyang Xun rhetorically.

It's really funny, now I don't even have the power to decide my boyfriend???

This is a new era of human rights.

Ouyang Xun was a little embarrassed, but in Xia Yao's eyes, it was: You pretend, you continue to pretend.

"In your personal information, the emergency contact is written as Tang Wan. The hospital and Tang Wan and the school all talked on the phone. However, Tang Wan is not very good at English, let me help you take care of it. The hospital asked about our relationship, and ordinary people couldn't do it for us, so they ...... Tang Wan knew about it. ”

The implication is that he is not making his own opinion, please don't blame him? Xia Yao understood the meaning of his words.

International students need to fill in the emergency contact for their personal information and medical insurance. This must be filled in with absolutely reliable people, because her parents don't understand English, she filled in Tang Wan.

Her three-legged cat English can't do in-depth communication, but if there's really something, the level of listening to things back and forth is still barely there. Besides, nothing major usually happens.

It turned out to be really big. How to use medicine, what agreements and documents to sign, ward selection, check-in procedures, etc., I am afraid that she is confused, and this kind of thing is really not suitable for remote solution.

In a hurry, Ouyang Xun was understandable for saying this, all so that she could receive treatment quickly.

"Does her agreement mean that I agree?" Xia Yao deliberately didn't buy his account.

"To be able to write her down in the emergency contact, the relationship must be reliable and not simple. Ouyang Xun said with confidence.

Hmm, it's quite smart, Xia Yao was speechless.

"I've paid all the expenses, and you can recuperate in peace. ”

"Thank you. You can deduct it from the shooting pay you give me. "Xia Yao doesn't like to take advantage, and she doesn't like to owe others.

"If it's not enough, I owe it, I'll write an IOU later! She didn't want to tell her family about the accident, which would be a nuisance for her parents, and she had to tell them all about the drama that had happened here, which was troublesome enough just to think about.

"You are injured at work, and I should bear it, and my studio should bear it. ”

"Actually, no. And this ward, it's not necessary. The doctor said that I would recuperate for more than a month, and after I was discharged from the hospital, I went back to live in my shabby apartment, which was even more uncomfortable. ”

"A good environment is good for physical and mental health, but also for recovery. Westerners do not taboo it, but diet has a great impact on wound healing. Your apartment, and noisy roommates," Ouyang Xun paused, "It's extremely unfavorable for you to recuperate." ”

Xia Yao listened to him quietly, and unexpectedly found that this person's slightly uninhibited and decadent dress was quite sexy and eye-catching, and the temporary distraction made her own brain, which was not very bright due to the injury, not pay much attention to the deep meaning of Ouyang Xun's words, so she did not interrupt.

"I took your key without authorization and asked Song Jie to clean up your things. I have an apartment here, and for the next month, you're going to live there. Since it was a work injury, I will be responsible for it to the end. ”
