Chapter 5 Hospitalization
In the research room on the fourth floor of the Medical University of St. Ullsla, the members of the Special Assignment Support Department were looking with bated breath at the doctor in front of them, Joachim Jonta.
At this time, Joachim was holding a medical magnifying glass, carefully observing the yellow jewel-like pupils of Kiamin.
Then there were things like whether he had a headache or nausea lately, but Kia didn't have anything like that, and Joachim frowned, but was relieved. After calming down, Joachim said to Lloyd, "Well, it's lucky, right? The brain was not damaged. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Joachim, however, frowned even more.
For the uninitiated, it may be good news that there is no injury, but for the doctor it is the most troublesome situation. There are many possible causes of memory loss. If it's not brain damage, then it's more likely.
Tragically, other causes other than brain damage are not easy to identify. It's really not good news for healing.
Joachim was silent for a moment and said, "...... Although this is just my speculation, is it possible that I have received the effects of the drug? ”
"Huh?!"
Everyone was shocked, and Lloyd's face suddenly turned hideous, and they couldn't help but kidnap this child and give her any medicine!
"Hmm...... There are some drugs that do have an effect on the nervous system, and if it were a child like Kia, it might cause amnesia - but this drug will always be accompanied by mental disorders...... It's so hard......"
The more Joachim spoke, the more serious his face became with the others, except for Kia, who looked like she was all right, tilting her head cutely, watching everyone worry about him. She was too young to understand why she was sad about losing her memory, nor did she understand that it was because she wasn't sad at all that it made everyone's pain even worse.
"In this case, it is better to start from both neurological and pharmacological aspects......
As Joachim fell silent, Randy suddenly raised his hand like a student.
"Well, how about a delicate check-up? Can you find out the problem? ”
Joachim's brow loosened slightly: "I can't guarantee it. It should help though. It's great that you agree. ”
"So, how long will it take?"
Lloyd hurriedly asked.
"Hmm...... It will also take at least three days. Well, the pharmacological examination is very troublesome. The ingredients excreted from the body are chemically tested. Personally, I recommend that she be admitted to the hospital for a week to see how it goes. As for the hospitalization fee and the examination fee, because it is a rare case, I can give you a discount - how about it? ”
Joachim explained calmly to Lloyd.
The crowd was silent.
No one is reluctant to give up Xiao Qiya.
But for the sake of Xiao Qiya, everyone can't force her to stay here.
What should be done?
Kia is still at a loss, it seems that what Joachim just said is too difficult for her to understand, so that she doesn't understand~~ It's really a child's mentality.
"Now, Kia. Why don't you stay here for three days? ”
Lloyd asked Kia.
"yes, yes."
Obediently agreed.
Kia was always so easy-going.
It really helped.
"Then, without further ado, let's go through the hospitalization procedures now......"
"Then, Lloyd, can I sleep in the same bed with you if I live here?"
Kia asked timidly.
This question made Lloyd stunned, although he knew that Kia was very clingy to herself, but she didn't expect it to be so clingy.
Perhaps seeing Lloyd's troubles, Qi Ya added in a low voice: "If it's troublesome, it's okay for Qi Ya to be patient." ”
"Ah...... It's not Lakia...... In fact, Kia is the only one who wants to live here. ”
"So, where are you going to stay, Lloyd?"
"We still live in the department of the Support Division......
"Don't!"
Kia decisively refused.
"You want to leave Kia here, Kia is a child that no one wants!"
"No, it's not Lakia, it's just a short hospitalization, and soon everyone will be able to play together......"
Ellie tried to appease Kia, but she didn't expect Kia, who was always empathetic, to shake her head decisively and insistively shout no.
"I don't want to live in a hospital or something! - Lloyd's big fool! ”
Jumping up from her chair and venting her anger at Lloyd, Kia rushed out quickly.
Ellie and Theo Haux rush to chase after her, while Lloyd and Randy stay behind to apologize. Joachim also expressed his understanding: "Ahaha, after all, you can't force people. Sometimes a little more rest will bring back the memory. Let's talk to her when she's calmer. ”
expressed his gratitude to the doctor, and the two chased them out, the hospital is so big, it would be bad if Qiya got lost.
On the other side, Ellie and Tio chased Kia all the way, but they didn't want to, Kia looked quiet on weekdays, but she didn't run slowly at all, plus there were many corners in the hospital, three times and two times, and after turning a corner, Kia's disappeared into the corridor.
Ellie was curious, Kia's pace was not fast enough to turn around and run away without a trace, I am afraid that she was hiding in a certain hospital room.
Ellie and Theo glanced at each other, and the best lotus that she had played with Kia was left in the hallway, watching to prevent Kia from escaping secretly, Ellie and Tio went from room to room looking for Kia.
Although he was unhappy to be separated from Theo, he also knew that now was not the time to play with a child's temper - especially if one child had already started to lose his temper.
I searched for three wards in a row, but everyone said that they didn't see Kia.
Well, she must be in the last room.
The two knocked lightly on the door, and soon heard the voice of a little girl inside.
"Ah, please come in."
This room was empty, not filled with patients like the other wards. There is only one bed, and it looks like a special care unit. The black-haired girl with her eyes closed was sitting on the bed reading a braille book, rolling up a blanket, curling up her small legs, propping up her body and leaning on the back of the bed, holding a large and thick book in her left hand and pressing her right hand on the page, reading a book.
The sun shone on her, and it looked quiet and peaceful.
The voice...... Is it Miss Ellie and Miss Theo? ”
The girl with her eyes closed listened for a while, and quickly connected the two with the footsteps in her memory.
"It's really a droplet, remember us."
Ellie couldn't help but feel sour.
Drip Marklyin, the only daughter of St. Arios of the Sword of the Winds, appears to have an eye disability and has to be hospitalized. Judging from the fact that she can clearly remember her footsteps, she must be very lonely.
Ellie asked herself, could she remember the voice and smile of someone she had only met once a few months ago, at most she would only be familiar, like Xiaodi who could quickly identify the name, how long had she been alone in the dark?
Maternal feelings emerge from the female body, and Ellie resists letting them explode.
"Xiaodi, we are looking for someone, a little girl who is about the same age as Xiaodi, has she just been here?"
Ellie's question was immediately answered in the negative.
"No, I don't. No one has been here since the doctor came. ”
Is that so?
Ellie's vision looked around, and she realized that there really wasn't much to hide in this small room. I also looked under the bed, because the sheets were not long enough to spread on the floor, and if Kia hid under the bed, there would be no doubt that her hands and feet would be exposed.
Neglected elsewhere?
Still is......
Ellie leaves with Theo.
There was a click, and the door was closed. After another half a minute or so, Xiao Di held up the braille book and said softly, "It's okay, they're leaving." ”
Reacting to this sentence, the blanket on Xiao Di's body moved a few times, and with a poof, Qi Ya poked her head out between Xiao Di's propped legs. The blanket was very stuffy, it was all the smell of disinfectant water, and Qi Ya only felt dizzy.
"Thank you~"
However, soon the cheerful Kia recovered her vitality and thanked the child with her eyes closed in front of her.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't mind, you can stay here a little longer. Miss Ellie, they shouldn't have gone far. ”
"Hmmm! Thank you so much! ”
