Chapter 370: Odds of Recovery
Tan Zhen held his forehead with his hand, and couldn't even squeeze out a smile: "Thank you, doctor, I know." ”
She adjusted her mood outside, walked into the ward with a smile on her face, stood by the bed and touched Tan Man's sideburns: "The doctor said that you should have a good rest now, you must not think nonsense, we will talk about other things later." I'm by your side with Mianmian, and I won't let him appear in front of you if you don't want to see someone. ”
Even if you have to tell the truth, it's not
Now, she plans to wait for Tan Man's mood to stabilize before telling her.
Tan Man answered, after experiencing life and death, she exhausted her physical strength, and soon fell asleep again.
The room was quiet. Tan Zhen patted Gu Mian's shoulder twice, motioned to the sofa on the other side, and said in a soft voice: "Now that you know that your mother is fine, you can rest assured and sleep well." ”
She slept for less than two hours last night, and her face was worse than that of the patient, how could she continue like this.
Gu Mian lay on the sofa obediently, and Tan Zhen found a blanket to cover her: "I'll go out to buy something, and I'll let the caretaker guard by the side, you can sleep in peace." ”
After doing everything, she walked out of the ward and looked at Gu Mochen who was standing next to her: "Do you owe me an explanation?" ”
The two walked to the unmanned stairwell, the air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant water, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from time to time outside. She said expressionlessly, "Say, what the hell have you done." ”
Gu Mochen told her the truth of the matter, and he knew that even if he didn't say it, she would know it from Tan Man, but it was just a matter of time.
"I hurt her." He concluded.
When the words landed, Tan Zhen slapped him over, and scolded angrily with red eyes: "Bastard! ”
Gu Mochen nodded and did not deny it: "Yes, I am a bastard, and it is all my fault that she became like this." ”
How he hoped that Tan Man could also beat him and scold him, so as to dissipate his anger, but she refused to give him even a look.
Gu Mochen: "Can you tell me about her now?" ”
He thought about asking the doctor in person, but he didn't want to leave the ward too far, he had been guarding outside, maybe Tan Man would like to see him at a certain moment.
Tan Zhen trembled all over and roared loudly: "She is paralyzed, and she can't walk like a normal person from now on, are you satisfied?!" ”
Tan Man learned about his physical condition after his younger brother Tan Qian came over.
It wasn't him who took the initiative to say it, she guessed it herself.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, Tan Zhen wouldn't have called him to come from the UK, thinking that when she woke up, the doctor examined her and repeatedly tested whether she had any sensation in various parts of her legs, and she knew that there was something wrong with her legs.
Tan Man was lying on the hospital bed, turning his head to look out the window, after a heavy rain, the sky was as blue as a wash, and the air was very fresh, diluting the smell of disinfectant water in the ward.
She said calmly: "Don't go out of your way to hide it from me, I'm not as fragile as you think. ”
The man standing by the bed was wearing a dark blue striped suit, a snow-white shirt with no tie at the neckline, and a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a warm temperament, it was Gu Mian's uncle Tan Qian.
He got a detailed examination report from the attending doctor, and immediately sent it to a friend who specializes in orthopedics in the UK by email to consult him about relevant questions.
After a friend and another orthopedic professor looked at it together, they came to the conclusion that recovery is very likely, it just takes time.
Tan Qian leaned over to hold her hand, and his voice was as clear as his person: "Your spine has been severely injured and you are currently unable to walk normally, but you believe me, this is only temporary, and I will let you stand up again." ”
Tan Man grabbed the sheets with his fingers: "You mean I have become a waste?" ”
"No, it's two different concepts from being disabled, you can get back to normal."
"How long will it take? Half? Or a year? ”
Tan Qian was silent, and Tan Man smiled very shallowly: "If you don't speak, it means that you are not sure, it may be two years, three years, or even longer." ”
Tan Zhen was also in the ward, and his nose couldn't help but sour when he heard her words.
Tan Man was not as hysterical as she imagined, she behaved calmly, as if to say that the weather was good today. The more she was like this, the more worried she became, and she would rather she cry out to vent her emotions, at least she would feel a little more comfortable.
The three people in the ward were silent, and after a while, Tan Man closed his eyes: "You all go out, I'm tired and want to rest for a while." ”
Tan Zhen and Tan Qian glanced at each other, and walked out of the ward one after the other.
Who knows, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Mian standing outside, holding a porridge in his hand. It was Tan Zhen who asked her to go out for a meal and bring her a porridge by the way, but she didn't expect her to come back so soon.
"You—Did you hear everything?" The hallway was quiet, and her abrupt rise seemed to echo.
Gu Mian pursed his lips and nodded slowly.
She heard it all.
The uncle said that his mother's leg could not walk normally, and he was not sure how long it would take to recover.
Tan Qian patted her on the head gently: "Don't be sad, I will find a way to cure her." She is not in a good mood during this time, so you should spend more time with her. ”
He is a doctor who is accustomed to seeing life and death, and his friend's tone when he replies to him is very firm, and he will recover 100%. Many miracles in medicine cannot be accurately calculated, and ordinary people are always used to preparing for the worst when they encounter this situation, Tan Man is of course no exception, she feels that it will take two or three years or even longer to recover.
Why didn't she want to think about it, maybe she would recover in three or five months?
What he is most worried about now is that after the family accident, she has lost the determination and motivation to do reconstruction.
If the patient himself is not motivated enough, it is useless to ask an authoritative specialist for treatment.
After this incident, Gu Mian seemed to have grown into an adult overnight, and she was no longer a little girl who hid in her family's arms and cried when she encountered something.
She knew she couldn't go down, that her mother needed her.
"Uncle, I know, I will accompany her to comfort her and let her cooperate with the treatment." Gu Mian paused for a few seconds and asked, "She'll definitely recover, right?" ”
Tan Qian nodded: "I promise." ”
Gu Mian handed the porridge to Tan Zhen, and was about to push the door in, Tan Zhen grabbed her arm to the side, lowered her head and whispered, "Don't go in yet, let her be quiet alone." ”
Tan Man said that wanting to rest was just an excuse, she just woke up not long ago, and she wouldn't be sleepy so soon. The reason why I say this is that I don't want them to disturb her.
Gu Mian obeyed her and sat on the public plastic chair by the door, his hands hanging down on his knees, his hair falling down to cover the side of his face.
Tan Zhen sat down next to her and lifted the lid of the disposable bowl, and the fragrance of preserved egg and lean porridge came to her face. She hadn't eaten for more than 20 hours, and she was already hungry, so she picked up a spoon and ate it in large gulps.
"I've been idle lately, I'm here in the hospital, I'll look at your mother every step of the way, you're still in school, go to class when it's time to go to class, don't delay your studies." Tan Zhen said while eating.
Gu Mian's fingers pinched the corners of his clothes and twisted them over and over, he was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice; "I've called the counselor to ask for a leave of absence."
The counsellor asked her how long she would take leave, and she didn't know until he said she could approve it for up to a week, and she took a week's leave.
Tan Zhen choked on a mouthful of porridge and coughed: "What?!" Have you taken a leave of absence? ”
"I want to be with my mom in the hospital." Gu Mian said, "Even if I sit in the classroom, I guess I won't be able to listen, so I might as well stay here." ”
Tan Zhen sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.
She doesn't know Tan Man's plans yet, the two sisters have completely different temperaments, Tan Man is gentle and petty, she is strong and decisive, but the two have similar determination in their bones. She was able to choose to divorce because of an unpleasant one, but now Gu Mochen has made a mistake of principle, that woman still came to the house with her stomach up, with Tan Man's temperament, she probably won't bear it.
What should Gu Mian do when the time comes?
If Tan Man hadn't had a car accident, she wouldn't be worried, even if she was divorced, she would have been able to take care of Gu Mian.
But now......
At dusk, the sunlight disappeared little by little, and the lights were not turned on in the wards separated by a wall, and the light was dim.
Tan Man's head tilted slightly to the side, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes into the pillow, she wanted to turn over and lie on her side, but found that this action was so difficult.
She has her own pride, how can she endure life and not be able to take care of herself, how can she let herself become a drag on others.
In case she doesn't get better, won't she have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
She finally couldn't control her whimper, her low voice echoing in the empty hospital room, she was afraid of attracting the attention of people outside, so she could only bite her lower lip to prevent herself from making a sound.
The volatilization of tears took away a little sadness, and after crying, she only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and unconsciously lowered her eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
When Gu Mian came in, she saw that she was asleep, there were undried tears in the corners of her eyes, the snow-white pillow was wet, and her hands were still clutching the sheets, and she was scratching deep folds around her.
Mom cried, this realization swirled in her mind, and after a while, she leaned over and tucked her hand into the quilt and gently wiped away her tears.
Gu Mochen learned about his wife's physical condition from Tan Zhen, but he refused to accept the reality, and personally went to ask her attending doctor.
Although Tan Zhen's words deliberately angered him, the facts that the doctor said were not much better.
In fact, he has always felt that he is very lucky, his family was not rich before, and generally speaking, he can be regarded as a well-off family. He himself was also angry, was admitted to Tsinghua University, and became the envy of all his relatives. I met Tan Man in college, she is beautiful and has an elegant temperament, many boys have a crush on her, including rich children from other schools.
She was finally moved by him and chose to stay with him.
In the early days of the business, in addition to him and Tan Man, there were several partners, they suffered a lot, lack of funds, insufficient technology, difficult operation and other problems often made people unable to sleep all night, but fortunately, they were solved in the end, and the group grew stronger and stronger under his leadership.
In retrospect, it was probably because his life was so smooth that God couldn't see it anymore and gave him such an ordeal.
But why his wife?
He would rather all the bad luck befall him than the suffering of his wife and daughter.
