Chapter Twenty-Nine: At That Time, Return to China (II)
Lin Qiyi stayed in front of Bertram's bed all night, and finally at five o'clock in the morning, the doctor came to take the body temperature, which dropped to 37.5, although the fever was gone, but the person had not woken up, and the doctor said that because Bertram's body was weaker than normal people, and his immunity was not as good as that of normal adults, he might have to stay in the hospital for a few more days this time.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Qi washed up briefly in the independent bathroom of the ward, and when he came out, Bertram just woke up, but he was still very weak, and his eyes were not very open.
Lin Qi took the water on the side and fed it to him with a small spoon, probably because it had been burned all night, and Bertram's throat could only make a hoarse sound, "Thank you." β
Lin Qi put down the water cup and touched Bertram's forehead, which was basically back to normal, "It's okay, you rest here, if you feel unwell, just ring the bell and call the doctor, I'll go buy some food and come back, you wait for me, ok?" β
Bertram nodded lightly, and Lin Qi got up to leave.
After Lin Qi left, bertram, I shouldn't call T, my cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, but his face was still extremely pale, he slowly sat up, took the coat on the side, and took out his mobile phone.
Dialed to Lance, and after three times, it was finally connected.
"Hey, what's wrong with Bertram? What's up? β
"I'm in the hospital, ahem, when I woke up, I was in the hospital, and Lin was there."
Lance heard Bertram's cough and immediately frowned, "What's wrong with you?" How about now? β
"It's nothing, it's just a fever, it's much better now, Lin went to buy food, she seems to have watched me all night."
"I know, I'm already on my way back, you can rest assured in the hospital, listen to Lin and the doctor."
"Okay."
Immediately after the call, Lance called Lin Qi, who was waiting for food at a Chinese restaurant.
"Hey, Lance."
"Lin, your plane"
"It's okay, it's going to play anyway, it's okay to delay for a few days, did Bertram call you?"
"Yes, I'm already on my way back, please help me watch him for a while."
"Okay, be careful on your way."
Lin Qi took the insulated box, went back to the hospital directly, and bought some more fruits at the fruit shop downstairs before going upstairs.
βbertramοΌ I am back! β
"I'm dying of hunger, you're finally back." The person on the bed was already much better than when he first woke up, although his face was still pale.
"Come, hurry up and eat, so that it will be good soon." Lin Qi handed the porridge to bertram.
Bertram took the food and ate it slowly, Lin Qi quickly finished eating the food, put the things away, and went to ask the doctor about Bertram's condition.
"Doctor, when will he be discharged?"
"Jian yì stayed in the hospital for observation, he has problems in all aspects of his body, and he has been in a weak state for a long time, this high fever hurts his body a lot, I am afraid that he will leave the hospital with a high fever again, Jian yì will rest in the hospital for a few days, we will cooperate with your family in terms of nutrients, and wait for a few days to stabilize before being discharged."
"Okay, we'll be cooperative."
When Lin Qi returned to the ward again, Lance had already arrived, it seemed that the two had already communicated, Lance was sitting on the sofa, Bertram was sitting on the bed and fiddling with his fingers, Lin Qi felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
"Why is it so strict, it's okay, I asked the doctor just now, and the doctor said that as long as you stay in the hospital for a few days, you will be fine."
"You don't know why he has a fever, do you?" Lance's tone was like that of a parent who had just finished scolding his child.
"I didn't have time to ask."
"I went swimming in the outdoor pool at night, and I didn't blow my hair when I came back to take a shower, and it rained last night, and the temperature was only minus 4 degrees Celsius."
Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder, she really couldn't think of this reason, Lin Qi looked at Berram who bowed his head and was silent, "This is normal, he is still young, he forgets when he is tired of playing, I didn't do such things less when I was a child." β
"Knowing that his body is not as good as a normal person, how can he be so willful? Before I left, I told him to wear more clothes. Lance's displeased tone lowered Bertram's head.
Lin Qi also felt that what he said was too strict, and she secretly looked at bertram, her eyes were red.
"Oh, you're making too much of a fuss, the doctor has said, it's okay, you go back and help Bertram get some change of clothes."
Lance is concerned and confused, and he is angry because Bertram doesn't know how to take care of himself, and this is a little unhappy in Bertram's ears.
Lance briefly explained a few words and left, but Bertram remained silent. Lin Qi picked up the fruit knife and peeled the apple, comforting Bertram while shaving.
"He's too worried about you, so he will tone like that, you ignore him."
"Don't believe it, he'll definitely apologize when he comes back." Lin Qi knew what kind of person Lance was, and he would never talk to the people around him like this. He must now be guilty of his actions.
Bertram was silent for a few seconds and sniffed softly, "I know. β
"Come, eat the apple, after eating this apple, I will ask the doctor to give you one less bottle of vitamin injection today."
Bertram took the apple without thinking about it, and nibbled on it quickly and in small bites.
Lin Qi smiled, but he was still a child, "Slow down, eat fast, your stomach will be upset." β
Half an hour later, Lance returned to the ward with a small travel bag, and as Lin Qi expected, Lance entered the room, put down the bag, and the first thing he said was: "I'm sorry, Bertram, what I just said was too heavy." β
bertram didn't answer, he glanced at Lin Qi, Lin Qi raised his eyebrows at him, look, he cares about you too much.
And in Bertram's eyes, it's not T's eyes, it's a naked show-off, showing off how much she knows Lance.
After eating at noon, Bertram began to take a nap, Lin Qi and Lance came to the bench next to the small garden of the hospital, the afternoon sun was very good, and they felt that they could kill all the germs brought from the hospital building.
"Thank you, if you're not here, something might really happen."
"No, Bertram is sensitive, but he is not unreasonable. What I'm more worried about now is that something like this is happening in Hou, what are you going to do? You can't stop working. β
"I'll do my best to find someone I can trust to take care of Bertram."
"It's for the best."
"Your ticket was missed, what are you going to do?"
"Book another one, anyway, it's a lot of tickets to fly over there."
"When?"
"I'm going to wait for Bertram to be discharged from the hospital, I'll leave again, you can't let go of your work, I'm also a vagrant anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Lance smiled, and there was a little relief and a little surprise in this smile.
"Thank you." Lance knew that there was an old Chinese saying that great grace does not say thank you, and he now deeply understands that feeling.
Lin Qi asked the hospital to help her set up a folding bed on the sofa side of the ward, went home to get some simple clothes, and Lin Qi began a six-day nursing journey.
Bertram is very well-behaved, and he is very cooperative with taking medicine and consulting every day, but every time he gets an injection, his brows are wrinkled to kill flies.
On the third day, Lin Qi found that he was really not suitable for a comfortable life, and after only a few days, he began to fall asleep. After breakfast today, Lin Qi began to feel sleepy, so he had to lie on the folding bed and sleep for a while.
Lance came to see Bertram in the evening and had dinner with them, and when the dinner was over, Lance said to Bertram that he was going to France tomorrow to make a film, and he would come back the day after tomorrow.
"I'll take a shower, and if you're sleepy, go to bed first." Lin Qi glanced at his watch, it was already half past ten, picked up the prepared clothes and said to Bertram.
"Hmm."
Lin Qi walked into the bathroom, and when the lock was dropped, Bertram gently got out of bed and took out a small bag from under the pillow, walked to Lin Qi's milk, and poured all the powder inside.
Then, go back to bed, cover the quilt, and close your eyes.
In the office of the hospital's neurology department, Lance wanted to talk to Dr. F, who had been in charge of Bertram before.
Ten minutes later
"Then I'm sorry for you."
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
Dr. F sent Lance away, and then took someone to check the ward, and routinely checked the pharmacy.
The next day, Lin Qi woke up at noon, and when he woke up, his mind was not very clear.
Bertram asked worriedly, "Are you alright?" Do you want to call a doctor. β
Lin Qi felt that he must have slept too much, and he would be fine when he had the strength to eat after a while.
"No, maybe I slept too much."
When Lin Qi woke up again, it was already evening, and he was woken up by the doctor, and Lin Qi himself began to wonder if he was sick.
Under the doctor's advice, Lin Qi went to do a check-up, including a blood test.
After that, Lin Qi ate a little dinner and fell asleep unconsciously.
With his back to Lin Qi, the corners of Bertram's mouth slowly hooked up into a smile.
Outside the ward, Dr. F, who had just learned of a terrible incident, hurried to his colleague Dr. W, who was now in charge of taking care of Bertram's body.
"Has this kid behaved abnormally lately, or is there anything unusual in his body?" Dr. F asked.
"No, the spirit is very good, and the recovery is very fast, what's wrong?" Dr. W asked, confused.
"It's okay, then if there's anything unusual about him, you can notify me immediately."
"Okay, but the young lady who accompanied her is not in good condition today, I just checked her and took a blood test."
"What's wrong with that young lady?"
"I'm not in good spirits, and I heard that I sleep all day long."
Dr. F was taken aback by the thoughts in his heart, and the look of surprise on his face puzzled Dr. W.
"What's wrong with you?"
Dr. F told him about the things before and after, and his conjecture told W, and Dr. W couldn't believe it after hearing it.
"Since you have such worries, let's wait for the results of the blood test to come out, and when the results come out, we will know if you guessed right?"
"Okay."
Dr. F returned to the office, thought about it for a long time, and dialed the phone number.
Two hours later, as soon as the blood test report came out, it was sent to Dr. W, and when he saw the number on it, W was shocked and hurriedly called someone to call Dr. F, but he didn't expect it to match F's conjecture.
Knowing that his conjecture was correct, F immediately went to the Berram ward to meet W, and the two of them arrived at the door at about the same time, and at the moment when W raised his book and was about to knock on the door, F stopped his hand.
After that, the two went to F's office, talked for a long time, and finally made a secret decision, and Dr. W left F's office as planned.
Two hours later, a man dressed in black came to F's office, and after a conversation, the man left the office according to Dr. F's instructions.
The next morning
Lin Qi realized that it was time for her to get up, but her mental strength was extremely poor, and she found that she didn't even have the strength to concentrate and open her eyes.
Later, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he only heard the shouts of many people, which was Lin Qi's last memory before he lost consciousness.
Later, when he woke up, he actually entered the ICU, Lin Qi found that his hands and feet were very weak, and when he saw Lin Qi open his eyes, Dr. W immediately came over to check the situation.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Qi's lips were also dry, and he could only make a faint sound. The stomach feels very uncomfortable and the pain is obvious.
"You overdosed on sleeping pills, we helped you wash your stomach, because it is not very timely, so your body will recover more slowly."
After listening to Dr. W's words, Lin Qi felt that he still hadn't woken up and overdosed on sleeping pills? When had she ever eaten that thing?!
"I know you're going to be weird, but it's up to Dr. F to explain this to you."
Doctor F concisely said the whole thing, Lin Qi felt that he couldn't accept it, how could it be!
"I know you're having a hard time accepting it, maybe you should meet him." After Dr. F finished speaking, a man came in from the door of the ICU that surprised Lin Qi. The black clothes worn by the man are very familiar, they were given by her.
In the time that followed, the man told Lin Qi a lot of things, many things that Lin Qi didn't know, and then Lin Qi was really tired, and the man asked her to rest and walked out of the ICU.
bertram was waiting for Lin Qi's news in the ward, no, he should be called T, he was unusually calm, drinking milk and eating breakfast sandwiches without hurry.
After a while, Dr. W knocked on the door, asked him about his situation today, and told him that he would be discharged the day after tomorrow.
T lightly thanked the doctor and asked about Lin Qi's condition.
"It's not good, I haven't woken up yet, although I have helped her wash her stomach, but the medicine has been in the body for too long, and it is absorbed too much, I am afraid that waking up will also affect her memory."
"Can I go see her?"
"Okay, later, now it's gone, she doesn't know."
"Okay."
Doctor W, out of the room, nodded to F, who was waiting outside, indicating that he had done what he had been told.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, T woke up from a nap, put on his coat, and came to the ICU where Lin Qi was, where only one nurse was looking at various instruments.
Bertram stood in front of the bed and looked at Lin Qiyi for a while, and saw that the heart rate monitor was fluctuating slowly and unusually slow, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
After a few minutes, the ripples on the heart rate monitor began to fluctuate dramatically, then suddenly stopped, almost in a straight line.
The nurse immediately pressed the emergency bell, and a large number of medical staff immediately rushed into the ward, W quickly judged the patient's condition, and finally called the nurse when the rescue measures were ineffective, adrenaline.
Soon, on the heart rate monitor, the ripples began to tend to normal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only T in the corner looked at this qiΔ faintly, he didn't know where he couldn't see, the man in black, looking at him, closed his eyes weakly.
Lin Qi's heartbeat was normal, all physical signs were normal, and everyone except W was asked to go out, and Bertram pulled W's sleeve and begged him to stay for a while.
W looked at him for a while and agreed.
After a while, Dr. W was also notified and left the ICU.
Bertram approached Lin Qi with a smile, traced her outline over and over again with his eyes, and then slowly took out the needle in the pocket of his coat, pulled out the protective shell, and then pushed away the air.
At the moment when T picked up Lin Qi's syringe interface, the man hiding in the shadows rushed out, "bertram!" Stop it! β
It's a pity that it's not Bertram who is standing here today, if it was Bertram, he might be scared to throw away the needle, but it is T who is standing here today, calm as he is, he only paused for a second, and then continued the movement on his hands.
The moment he pushed the liquid completely into the syringe, Bertram burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Bertram I made it, I'll help you get rid of her!" β
At this moment, all the previous conjectures of F were fulfilled!
"Hahaha, bertram, you can rest assured with him in the future, and no one will disturb you again!"
