47 Truth

Lin Pi did not immediately agree to Ji Yunchong's marriage proposal, but submitted his resignation and signed a contract with him for the mortgage of the restaurant's management rights.

After solving the trivial matters, she worked hard to take care of Ji Yunchong's daily life wholeheartedly and helped him get out of the psychological haze.

The careful care made Ji Yunchong much more cheerful. He resumed his regular diet and routine, and began receiving intravenous antibiotics in the hope of controlling the symptoms of streptococcal infection in the knee cavity.

Unfortunately, when the blood is rechecked a week later, indicators suggest that antibiotic treatment has only delayed the onset of the bacteria rather than killing them.

Ji Yunchong's mood became more and more anxious and he proposed a referral. Lin Li considered that the German experts knew his medical history well and did not approve of this, but he was persistent and couldn't resist it, so he nodded and agreed.

The new doctor has come up with a completely new treatment option: long-term antibiotic antimicrobial therapy. That is, the beneficial bacteria are used to inhibit the harmful bacteria and balance the host microecological balance, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining health.

Lin Li objected to this plan. First, the success rate of antimicrobial therapy to control infection varies. Second, if it fails, it may cause the spread of bacteria in a wide area.

One is a gray-haired foreign expert, and the other is an attending doctor who has not been in practice for a few years, and Ji Yunchong has no surprise to favor the former.

Lin Li was very helpless, considering Ji Yunchong's resistance to amputation, he had no choice but to cooperate with the treatment with the idea of doing his best and obeying the destiny of God. It is precisely because of this that she began to pay attention to the resistance response of pathogenic microorganisms to drugs, and gradually discovered a small detail that she had overlooked-

Ji Yunchong's recent blood test report showed that the values of procalcitonin (PCT) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were too low.

In clinical experience, PCT and IL-6 are reference items for inflammation indicators, and there is no consensus in the medical community on the values of the two, so they are sometimes ignored by doctors.

In the case of the other reference items, the values of these two items are abnormally low.

Lin Li was puzzled, traced Ji Yunchong's blood test report forward, and couldn't find the test sheet on the day he was discharged. As soon as she was in a hurry, she said hello to Ji Yunchong and went out.

After arriving at the hospital, Lin Li got the reprinted blood test sheet, glanced at it hurriedly, and was stunned.

Blood tests are completely normal. In other words, Ji Yunchong is fine.

She said in German to the person in charge of printing the blood test report: "Is there a mistake?" This report is not the result of Mr. Ji's blood test half a month ago. โ€

The other party denied it.

Lin Li felt incredible, but overjoyed, staring at the test data on the list one by one, and when she saw the PCT and IL-6, the look on her face was stunned again.

She took out the blood test sheet in her purse, and the two sheets were placed together, and the diagnosis was very different, but the PCT and IL-6 values were exactly the same.

It seems that it is possible to make an assumption: the normal blood test sheet has been tampered with, and the tamperer is not careful enough, leaving a mistake.

So, who is the tamper?

Thinking of Ji Yunchong's devastated performance on the day he was discharged from the hospital, an indescribable feeling welled up in Lin Li's chest, and he asked again: "Is it possible that the patient's name was confused when printing the blood test report?" โ€

"Ma'am, we take our work seriously and carefully, and it is impossible for us to make such a mistake."

Lin Li left the hospital and did not return to the villa, but wandered the streets for a long time, watching the sunset in the sky gradually turn from orange to purple and finally completely darkened, and then watched the neon lights on the city streets light up one by one.

She remembered the scene of wandering around the city at the end of last year, and at that time, like now, she was not thirsty, her stomach was not hungry, but her thoughts couldn't stop, and she kept wondering why Ji Yunchong didn't believe her.

At this moment, should she believe Ji Yunchong? Should she dismiss it as just an accidental coincidence?

Lin Li rubbed his aching temples and decided to go back.

She forgot to bring her mobile phone when she went out in a hurry, which was equivalent to losing contact for a whole day, and the villa was dark and quiet when she arrived home. Ji Yunchong was not there, obviously going out to look for her.

She didn't turn on the light, she lay on her back on the sofa in the living room, her eyes closed and meditated. I don't know how long time passed, but she heard the sound of the door opening, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the light in the entrance was on.

Ji Yunchong pushed the wheelchair into the house with one hand, and held the mobile phone in the other hand and was on the phone.

The entrance and the living room were separated by a semi-penetrating golden carved screen, and Ji Yunchong didn't notice Lin Li, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa, facing her sideways, speaking to the person on the other end of the phone with an unusually impatient attitude.

"I told you a long time ago, you must keep an eye on her twenty-four hours a day!"

"If there is no place for her in another hour, you don't have to stay in your current position!"

After he finished speaking, he cut off the phone, was quiet for a second or two, raised his hand and waved it to the ornament on the wall table in the entrance, and the jade toad "snapped-" and shattered in pieces.

Lin Li had wanted to call him, but now he was lying stiff, his eyes surging with complex emotions.

After a while, Ji Yunchong's mobile phone rang again.

Not knowing who the caller was, he said in a tone of extreme contempt: "Are you a waste or a fool?" She submitted her resignation letter two weeks ago, and you just approved it, so why should you be swayed by the objections of the chief physician of the emergency department? โ€

Lin Li was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly understood who was talking to Ji Yunchong on the phone. It was the leader of the personnel department, and the person who criticized her for not paying attention to her work and eliminating her qualification for medical assistance.

A pain that pierced his heart suddenly exploded, and Lin Li couldn't hold it back, turned over and sat up.

The movement from the other side of the sofa made Ji Yunchong pause. He slowly turned his face sideways, and when he saw Lin Li, the anger on his face immediately froze, turning into a kind of surprise after being caught off guard after being seen his true face.

He slowly put down his phone and opened his mouth: "Mumu, I ......"

"You can deny it, but every word you say can't be a lie." Lin Li's tone was quite calm, but the hand held at his side was subconsciously clenched.

Ji Yunchong was dumbfounded.

Lin Li took out two blood test reports from his bag and walked over to hand them to him. When Ji Yunchong's gaze fell on one of the blood test sheets, those long, narrow and dark eyes surged with emotions that Lin Li couldn't understand.

She tried to discern it, but she didn't make out a hint of joy or rejoicing.

Nothing needs to be said again, the truth is revealed. He had known that he was cured for a long time, because he had been faking!

Lin Li gasped and couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchong hurriedly took her hand and said in a low voice: "You listen to my explanation, I see you running between the two places during this time, I am really reluctant to let you suffer, I hope you have an easier life......"

Lin Fei pressed on his shoulder, stopping him from continuing.

She leaned over and crouched down beside her wheelchair.

She looked at him carefully, her long eyelashes trembled, and before she could speak, her eyes were covered with a layer of crystal tears: "Being an emergency doctor is really hard, often not understood by patients, and often because of the high intensity of work, the day and night of work and rest, so that you also face huge health risks." For example, when I first started working, I was nervous when I heard the alarm of 120, and I frequently dreamed that the emergency room was full of patients. โ€

"However, no matter how hard it is, as an emergency physician, being able to diagnose the condition and successfully save a life in a short and limited period of time is a sense of accomplishment that cannot be expressed in words or measured in money."

Speaking of this, Lin Li's tears fell: "I like my work very much, and I look forward to making some achievements in my work." โ€

"You don't know how much effort I have put into this medical aid qualification, often working overtime for more than 20 hours in a row, and sleeping very little, but gritting my teeth and squeezing out time to review โ–กโ–ก hundred pages of medical books...... However, one small act of yours wiped out all my efforts. โ€

Speaking of this, she was a little emotional, and she was so choked up that she couldn't speak, so she had to take a few deep breaths, and waited for her emotions to calm down before she continued: "At the moment when I doubt whether you are involved in the fraud, I am not particularly angry, but I am glad that you are okay, at least you don't have to face the tragic situation of amputation." But you can't ruin my work just to keep me. Do you know how disappointed I am in you? I had planned to marry you after your amputation and take good care of you for the rest of my life. โ€

Ji Yunchong's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Mumu, I know it's wrong, you forgive me." โ€

"I want to go out for a walk and calm down for a while." Lin Li's tone was unusually indifferent, "You rest early tonight, you don't have to wait for me." โ€

She straightened up, pulled the door open and walked out.

*

Lin Li didn't know where he was going.

She walked aimlessly, and when she was tired, she bought a pack of women's cigarettes, took one out of her mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

She smokes, a secret that no one knows.

Not only that, but she had also abused sleeping pills, and later realized that she couldn't be so depressed and quit these things. Tonight, her whole heart was like a sharp knife cutting her flesh and blood, she felt painful and depressed, and she couldn't find anyone to vent, so she could only turn to nicotine for the time being.

Smoke rises, and thoughts go from tense to relaxed to foggy.

Simon's oil painting "Nude/Woman Smoking a Pipe" comes to mind, her lips softly curled, she smiles self-deprecatingly, and her eyes are filled with thin tears.

Because of being alone, fragility no longer needs to be hidden, and tears fall like beads with broken threads.

During this time, the two places were running around, working hard, and they were not understood by outsiders. Some colleagues ridiculed her to her face for being close to a rich man, treating the hospital as if she had opened it herself, coming and leaving whenever she wanted.

Lin Li's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and he smoked more and more unscrupulously.

After smoking four or five cigarettes in a blink of an eye, she sweated a little, her fair face was dyed a touch of crimson, her eyes were misty, and she stood on the street and let the night breeze blow her long hair.

She didn't care, she patted the cigarette ash off her clothes, held the freshly lit cigarette in her hand, and continued to walk.

While crossing the street, she noticed a black car coming from the corner of the street, the model was quite similar to Xiao Huai's, but the license plate was not.

She shook her head and bowed her head and went her own way.

Munich is a welcoming city, and even on summer evenings, young people come together to drink, talk, laugh and have fun. And she looked indifferent, through the noisy crowd, through the bustling streets, a person, a shadow, a cigarette.

If you go any further, you will have to go to the consulate.

She turned back the way she came, and just as she could, another black car came from the east side of the intersection. The car obviously hit the right turn signal, but it went straight for her.

She didn't notice it.

Suddenly, she heard her name called, and when she looked up, she saw someone getting out of the car.

That person was Xiao Huai.

Lin Fei stopped and looked at him incredulously.

Xiao Huai stood beside the car, in the thick night, but those narrow and deep eyes were like bright moonlight in the dark night, staring at her quietly.

The two looked at each other.

Time seemed to be pressed the pause button at this moment, and then the first to move was Lin Li, she opened her lips, just said the word "Xiao", the cigarette in her hand burned to the skin, she shrunk, the cigarette butt drew an arc, fell to the ground, splashed a small firework.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Huai walked over to her and pulled the scalded fingers into the warm palm.

Lin Fei was a little flustered and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held on tightly, lowering his eyes to examine her reddened skin.

"Does it hurt?" His voice was full of concern. 166 Reading Network
