Chapter 548: Three Days
Miss Su in a wheelchair, especially the long black hair, is very recognizable in such an environment.
As soon as Li Yadong came out of the elevator, he noticed her outside a ward at the end of the corridor.
There are also several Asian faces standing next to her, they should all be classmates who came from Peking University together, and there are also a few foreign faces, presumably Guo Qi's friends at Harvard, and Dorn is also there.
When she saw Li Yadong, she smiled lightly and nodded, that's all.
Of course, this is not her character, if she wants to change her normal life, she will definitely step forward to give Li Yadong a big hug, and maybe she will take the opportunity to rub oil or something, so as to satisfy her bad taste.
But at this time, it is clearly not appropriate.
"It came really fast. Someone said.
The moment Su Wei looked at Li Yadong, tears suddenly welled up in her bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, I realized that she was actually not that strong.
"Miss Su, where is Xiaoqi?"
Li Yadong didn't even have time to comfort her, because the Guo family was already looking for their son.
"In ...... In the hospital room. Miss Su pointed to the intensive care unit next to her, and her voice was like a mosquito.
Guo's father subconsciously wanted to push the door, but was stopped by a young man with a Chinese face.
"Uncle, no. This is a sterile ward, you can't go in like this, otherwise it will be harmful to Guo Qi. And the doctor also said that no one should disturb him for the time being, and we can only look through the glass. Guozi said with a face and pointed to the wall.
It turned out that the wall had something else to offer, with a long strip of glass installed in the middle of the wall, so that people could look inside from the outside.
Although they couldn't wait to get close to their son, wanted to touch his skin, and wanted to hold his hand, when they heard that it would affect their son's condition, the Guo family didn't dare not listen.
Follow the face of the national character to the wall, stretch your neck to look inside.
Li Yadong and Qi Long also walked over.
When she saw Guo Qi lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, his emaciated body was full of large and small tubes, and the bedside was full of various unknown instruments, Guo's mother almost fainted again.
Guo's father hugged her, and both of them burst into tears, constantly calling out their son's name.
Li Yadong glanced at it, turned his head, and also reddened slightly.
Only ten days ago, the young man who would gag with him was now like this.
What a cruel fact!
"What did the doctor say?" asked Li Yadong as he looked at Miss Su.
"Yes, what did the doctor say!" the two members of the Guo family suddenly came back to their senses, and also looked at Miss Su in unison.
Since Li Yadong asked directly, he had no intention of concealing it, and now Guo Qi really can't hide it.
Besides, what right does he have to hide it?
There is no one in this world who is more qualified to know the specific condition of their son than Guo Qi's parents.
Miss Su glanced at Li Yadong, and then at the Guo family, with a deep sense of guilt on her face, and said with difficulty: "The doctor said...... It is a severe concussion, and the cranial nerve is damaged. Debridement has been done and the next three days are very important. ”
No matter how difficult it was, she finally gritted her teeth and said it, because her thoughts were the same as Li Yadong, and standing in front of her were Guo Qi's two closest people in the world, and she had no qualifications to hide them.
She, including Li Yadong, and Guo Qi are only friends and classmates after all, and they don't even have a blood relationship.
"Severe concussion!" Guo's mother exclaimed, her whole body was paralyzed, if she hadn't been hugged tightly by her husband, she would definitely have to sit on the ground.
But at least there was no syncope, because she desperately wanted to know more.
At this time, her husband's lips trembled and she asked what she wanted to know most.
"What happened to the next three days?"
Miss Su subconsciously glanced at Li Yadong, and after seeing him nodding, she shouted tears, covered her mouth, and said silently: "The doctor said that due to Xiaoqi's cranial nerve damage, there is no way to solve this problem now, so it can only wait for it to recover on its own, if it recovers well, it can wake up within three days, if it does not recover well, then ......"
Her eyes closed when she said this, but even so, the last sentence was still unspoken.
Li Yadong already understood.
The Guo family and the two of them got to the bottom of it.
"What happens if you don't recover well?"
"Yes, Miss Su, now that it's over, don't hide it from us, even if I beg you, you can tell us the truth!"
They're not stupid, they may have guessed it, but they just don't want to accept it.
There are also extenuating circumstances.
No parent can easily accept this tragic truth.
Miss Su didn't dare to look directly at the aggressive gaze of the two members of the Guo family, and buried her head and cried.
At this time, Dorn on the side spoke, "If you don't recover well, it will take longer, maybe a few months, or a year or two to wake up." ”
It's actually a stiff Mandarin, but I can understand it.
This is an almost perfect match, a lie that anyone can call white when they say it except Miss Su and Li Yadong.
"That's what the doctor said, if you don't believe me, you can ask. After thinking about it, she added another sentence in order to play the play enough.
It was also clear that they would not be able to communicate properly with the doctor.
To be honest, the Guo family did not believe it at first, but the words added by Dorn made them believe it.
Or perhaps...... They subconsciously want to believe it, they just need a more convincing reason.
If you don't believe me, ask the doctor – it's certainly very convincing.
A witty girl. This is Li Yadong's further evaluation of Dorn. also cast a grateful glance for her wit.
must be grateful, because she gave the Guo family a hope.
Slowly, it's always good. Otherwise, the worst outcome is known at this moment, and the consequences are unimaginable.
"It will take a year or two to wake up?" Guo's mother cried bitterly.
Guo's father was silent, and gently patted her back with the hand holding his wife.
"Auntie, uncle, I'm sorry for you, if it weren't for me...... Xiao Qi will not be like this. ”
Miss Su struggled to get up on one foot from her wheelchair, but was pushed back by Dorne, who was clubbed behind her.
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, it's fate, it's fate!" Father Guo shook his head and looked at the sky with his eyes.
Li Yadong helped the two of them to sit down on the row of chairs on the side of the corridor at the right time.
"Young man. ”
Li Yadong beckoned and gestured to the young man with a Chinese face.
Li Yadong took out a handful of dollars from his pocket and handed over two, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we don't speak English very well, can you help buy some food?"
"Oh, good. But it doesn't need so many, one is enough. Guozi said with a face, only took a hundred dollars, and trotted onto the elevator.
The Guo family and the two have not eaten for almost a day, Li Yadong sees it all, and he has to find a way to let them eat a little, and no one who is far away can't stand it.
It is rare that the young man with the national character face has a heart, and he also bought a few cups of fried noodles, and under the persuasion of the "heartless and lungless" Dorn smiled, the Guo family finally moved their chopsticks.
Taking advantage of their meal, Li Yadong got up and came to Miss Su's side, pushed up the wheelchair, and whispered, "Take me to see the attending doctor." ”
Miss Su nodded and pointed in the direction.
Two minutes later, Mr. Li met Dr. Wilson in an office.
A fat old man with brown hair.
"Dr. Wilson, I would like to ask a question, if my brother doesn't wake up within three days, what is it...... Will you never wake up, or will you wake up for a longer time?"
"Handsome Asian boy, your question is very profound. Wilson smiled and stroked his round belly.
Li Yadong is indeed very handsome, because when he didn't say a word, he took advantage of the handshake and gave him a thousand dollars.
"Truth be told, your question involves an unsolved mystery of science. Your brother suffers trauma to the nerves in the skull, which has two consequences, one is self-repairing, which is one of the gifts that God has given to humans. Second, if the trauma is too great for humans to repair on their own, the damaged nerves will automatically wither. From a medical point of view, when this happens, there is almost no chance that the patient will be awake again, and then they will become what you often call a 'vegetative person'......"
Li Yadong frowned and said, "In other words, if my brother doesn't wake up within three days, it means that the intracranial nerves can't be repaired automatically, so they wilt and become vegetative?"
"Don't worry, handsome oriental boy, listen to me first. Wilson laughed and said: "Theoretically speaking, this is the case, but do you believe that there is a kind of thing called 'miracle' in this world, and in the cases of the world's medical community that are judged to be vegetative, there are also a very small number of patients who have miraculously recovered in the end! It is a group of lucky people who are blessed by God, after losing that part of the cranial nerves, after a long time of adaptation, finally they are completely unhindered and become no different from ordinary people." It's been an incredible evolutionary journey, and the medical community still can't figure out why. ”
He paused at this point, glanced at Li Yadong, and then continued: "So I reply to the question you asked earlier. Yes, there are no absolutes, even if your brother is judged to be in a vegetative state, but the evolution of life is a very wonderful thing, as long as a miracle happens, anything is possible. Even examples of people who wake up ten or twenty years after being judged to be vegetative exist in the medical community. As family members, what you have to do is to have hope. ”
"Is it a miracle?" Li Yadong's mood was extremely heavy, what a thing he didn't rely on.
He is a standard pragmatist, never extravagant about pies in the sky, only believes in what he wants, and he must work hard to get it.
It's as if he never bought a lottery ticket.
Three days, since these three days are so important, then, we must not sit idly by.
He had to do something. 8)
