Late at night, 8th floor, inpatient department of Building C, S Central Hospital.

The hospital inpatient department at midnight can be regarded as a "popular scene" with a high appearance rate in horror film and television works or games. But in fact, there is nothing particularly scary about the hospital at night, at least for the professional nurses who often work night shifts here.

After all, they work here every day, and thanks to modern technology, electricity costs are no longer high, and today's hospitals maintain a certain level of lighting in the corridors and floor lobbies even at midnight, so that nurses can get to the wards quickly and quickly when they receive an emergency call from the ward. There are lights, and there is no weird BGM effect, and it is familiar with the place where I work every day, so that even if I really close my eyes, I can find the right ward, for nurses who often stay on night shift, the hospital at midnight is really nothing to be afraid of, except that it is a little quiet to make people lonely.

That said, depending on the change in people's moods, this is not really absolute. For example, tonight, Nurse Bai, who is responsible for taking the juniors and the two of them to sit at the nurse's desk on the 8th floor, always feels that the whole hospital has a gloomy atmosphere.

No, it's not necessarily true to say it's inexplicable, in fact, Nurse Bai knows why she feels that tonight's hospital is more gloomy than usual - although since you have chosen this profession, to a certain extent, you need to see the life and death of the world, but after all, people are emotional animals, a sick and weak girl who has been responsible for taking care of herself since she was admitted to the hospital as a nurse intern, and has been promoted to the head nurse but has not been able to be discharged from the hospital. The black-haired girl with a distressing well-behaved smile every day is no different from her real sister to some extent, and her sister is now at the threshold of life and death because of a terminal illness, Rao is an experienced nurse like Nurse Bai, and she can't help but feel that her mind can't be calm.

Why, such a well-behaved and poor child, must be burdened with such a sad fate from birth.

Thinking of this, Nurse Bai stopped typing her hand on the computer keyboard, and looked at the screen with her eyes straight and startled.

"Sister Bai, why does this case here look different from the feedback from the doctor......

The voice of the junior on duty together brought Nurse Bai back to her senses, but fortunately, the junior was only focused on the materials handed over by herself, and she didn't see the panic of this senior nurse who had always made her feel very stable and respectable.

"There is indeed a problem with the record here, I remember that this patient has just been re-diagnosed this afternoon, it should be that the condition has changed, you look for the latest doctor's ward round record today."

"yes, okay."

The junior nurse nodded, but was a little surprised to see Nurse Bai stand up.

"Sister Bai?"

"I've been sitting here for a long time, my back is a little sore, I'll go for a walk, you don't have to worry about me getting busy."

"Got it."

Nurse Bai actually lied, although she was old, but she was not old enough to be sour after sitting for a while, saying that it was an inspection, but in fact, there was only one ward that Nurse Bai wanted to check.

Slowly coming to room 802 with a heavy heart, Head Nurse Bai hesitated slightly outside the door, and finally opened the door gently and walked into the room lightly.

The 8th floor of the ward is relatively advanced, although it is a single room, but considering the needs of the patient's family or hired nanny to accompany the bed care, in addition to the inner patient room, there is also a small bed compartment at the entrance for a single person to lie down and rest. After entering the ward, Nurse Bai subconsciously looked at the bed cubicle outside, but was a little surprised to find that there was no one lying there.

Hey? I remember that the mixed-race girl who came to visit Chu Jia today should have stayed here at night to take care of Chu Jia, right, did she go back in the end?

In the relatively spacious and comfortable patient room, the black-haired girl with a respiratory aid and her eyes closed was lying calmly on the hospital bed, and on the side of the bed, a blonde girl wearing a slight Lolita-style dress was sitting there, turning her head to look at Nurse Bai.

Although it was light, the sound of the door opening and closing in this quiet midnight could still be heard, and the blonde girl who was unexpectedly not sleeping was obviously the head nurse Bai who had already noticed the entrance.

I was a little surprised that the blonde girl still hadn't slept, but Nurse Bai still came back to her senses in time and raised her hand to the blonde girl and raised her finger to signal not to make a sound. Seeing Nurse Bai's movements, the blonde girl who knew that she was the head nurse who had been taking care of her friend in the hospital didn't say anything, nodded, watched Nurse Bai come to the bed, sighed silently after being stunned for a while, and then turned her head and gave her a gesture to go out.

Lightly, the two left the ward together and went to the corridor outside, and the head nurse Bai turned on the lights in the corridor on this side to the brightest, and then sat on the rest bench outside the ward with the blonde girl.

"Your name is Coco, right? Why haven't you slept so late? ”

The blonde girl, who was Rococo who hadn't even logged in to the game tonight (the night of the earth is the daytime game time in the game), heard Nurse Bai's question, Rococo, who looked a little haggard, pursed her lips.

"I'm worried about Jiajia'......"

Head Nurse Bai looked at the blonde girl's face and spoke softly.

"Little Sister Coco's worry about Chu Jia's mood is understandable, but if her body is also burned, it won't be good."

Rococo's face didn't look very good, so Nurse Bai was also a little worried about her, but in fact, as a digital life, Rococo is not a must to sleep at night like humans, and her expression at this time is more because of Chu Jiajia's condition, but for Nurse Bai's concern, Rococo didn't explain anything, just nodded.

Looking at Rococo like this, Nurse Bai spoke slightly, but in the end she was silent and didn't know what to say. Chu Jiajia is seriously ill this time, although it can't be said completely, but the hospital is indeed responsible.

Things have to start from more than two months ago.

Chu Jiajia's illness is a terminal illness with no cure in the contemporary medical community, but about half a year ago, a medical institution with a high reputation in the medical field abroad announced their latest research results, using a special therapy that is expected to be able to treat this terminal disease.

But the success rate of this treatment was not 100 percent, and only two out of five patients in the volunteer experiments at that medical institution began to improve after treatment, and the other three patients had no effect at all, and even one of them had an inexplicable worsening condition.

Originally, such an unfinished latest medical treatment should not be actually used to treat patients, and Physician Liu only regarded this as a hope that could cure Chu Jiajia, and did not want to rush to let Chu Jiajia be a "guinea pig" for other people's medical experiments, but more than two months ago, after many examinations, Physician Liu confirmed that Chu Jiajia's body had almost reached the limit of support under the torture of this terminal illness that had accompanied her almost since birth - if she continued like this and did nothing, At most, he can only guarantee that Chu Jiajia has another year of life.

This Doctor Liu is quite responsible, he did not let Chu Jiajia spend a year like this and then pass away "normally" because he was worried about the hospital and his personal responsibility, he brought Chu Jiajia's current guardian Chu Jiajia's uncle and Chu Jiajia together, and told them in detail about Chu Jiajia's physical condition and the news that there is such a new gambling therapy abroad. In the end, after some discussion and debate, and with Chu Jiajia's own strong insistence, they finally decided to let Chu Jiajia join the second batch of volunteer experimental programs of that foreign research institute to receive treatment with this new therapy.

After two months of gradually adjusting her physical condition to an appropriate level, Chu Jiajia began to officially accept the most critical step of the treatment procedure, however, perhaps fate really abandoned this sad girl for some reason, and the treatment side effects that had a probability of less than the success of the treatment in the early trial appeared on Chu Jiajia, and she also became the only one among the seven people in the second batch of volunteer experimental plans who had treatment side effects that caused the condition to worsen.

In order to prevent his partners, especially Rococo, from worrying, Chu Jiajia, who was unable to log in to the game because of his deteriorating condition, did not tell the team members the truth at first, and everyone, including Rococo, only thought that Chu Jiajia would take a week off this time as before, but just two days ago, when Rococo took advantage of the offline time of the game during the day to visit Chu Jiajia, he witnessed the scene of Chu Jiajia fainting due to his illness.

In the end, under Rococo's questioning, Dr. Liu, who came to do emergency treatment for Chu Jiajia, reluctantly told her the truth, so in the next few days, Rococo almost stayed in the hospital, and accompanied Chu Jiajia day and night, without leaving a single step.

Originally, when Nurse Bai heard Chu Jiajia say that this blonde girl who looked like a mixed-race child was a good friend she met in the game, she thought that the two were just ordinary online friends, but this time, in the past few days, Nurse Bai found out that this blonde girl who claimed to be Rococo really treated Chu Jiajia as a close friend, and even saw Rococo looking at Chu Jiajia in a coma with her eyes closed on the bed many times. In the eyes of Nurse Bai, it gave her the illusion that it was beyond the feelings between friends.

However, Nurse Bai didn't think much about it, after all, Chu Jiajia has become like this now, and according to the experience of the case with treatment side effects in the first volunteer experiment before, Chu Jiajia is likely to ...... soon If it really becomes like that, the closer the relationship between Rococo and Chu Jiajia, the more I am afraid the more blows will be suffered.

…… This is a poor man, too.
