CHAPTER XXVI
I heard that being slightly drunk can help you sleep, but this night, Keya was very awake.
A small lamp in the room could sense the tossing and turning of her body, gradually adjusting from dim to bright. So Keya simply got up, walked to the desk, looked at the photo with her mother on the table, and countless memories entangled her made her even more sleepy.
She took out another phone from the drawer, plugged it in and slowly turned it on, and then she chose to log in to Choose.
Invisible, she can receive messages, but cannot reply to them.
There was an avatar that suddenly prompted a lot of unread messages, the avatar she wasn't familiar with, but she could guess who the name was.
Originally, she shouldn't have opened this message, but after so many years, she just wanted to help her mother clean up her account, and she inadvertently received such a message.
"Shi Lan, I'm awake, but you're gone."
"I'm sorry, I was so selfish, I thought I could still find you and save everything."
"Shi Lan, I met Keya, our daughter, she really looks like you."
"Shi Lan, I have failed you, I don't know anything about the years you have accompanied me."
"I don't know if I'll ever see you again."
"Shi Lan, I've been feeling very bad lately, I think life must be punishing me, it must also want to take away my stolen time as soon as possible."
“……”
One by one, messages are sent every day, which is what Ke Qinghe is secretly doing after waking up.
Ke Ya didn't care about this in her heart, she didn't care at all, these words were said to her mother, maybe she would be very moved, only she would believe his words in this world, and only she would accompany him without hesitation.
It's just that Keya wants to cry, it's not worth it for her mother, but what's the use?
What's even more surprising is that the next few messages are no longer like this, but silently narrate their past stories.
“…… I remember every time we chat, you can always find interesting topics to enlighten a man like me, I have worked hard for my career for many years, and I have rarely met someone as interesting as you. So, when we chose to meet, I even comforted myself that if you don't look good, it doesn't stop us from continuing to chat, I have to put my mindset right, beautiful skin and interesting soul don't last forever...... But, unexpectedly, you are so beautiful, your conversation and your demeanor are so deeply attracted to me that I can't take my eyes off it......"
“…… You'll love Jasmine Restaurant on Bluestone Street because it's so quiet. From the first time you chose a double-glazed steak, you've been trying it this way, accepting all the arrangements I've given you. Until that day, we walked to the flower shop at the corner of the street, and the song "Don't Panic" stopped you, I thought you wanted a bouquet of roses, but you told me that you liked this song and wanted to listen to it before leaving. The afternoon sun is shining on you, every inch of your skin is shining, and even the roses in my hands are dimmed...... That day, I said let's be together, what do you ask me? It takes me ten times to believe that I am proposing to you...... Then you cried, and I saw a rainbow in your tears......"
"You are so beautiful, you will always tolerate my impulsiveness and recklessness, and I also think that every time I regret it, as long as I look back, you will always wait for me in the same place...... However, I was wrong, I ignored that you are also an independent person and you also have the right to choose...... Missing you this time may be the best punishment for me dying alone......"
Koya withdrew from the message.
Take a deep breath and tune in to your emotions. She tried to blink her eyes, trying to avoid the fragile tears, but it still didn't control it.
Maybe she can believe that Ke Qinghe has regretted it and has already reflected, but there are also people who will never come back. And he was originally a stranger to Keya.
Reading this information is like peeking into the story of her mother's past, but she can't really feel it, all she can do is clear all her contacts, a person who is no longer there, and no longer needs a friend list.
In the setting column, there is also feedback on her cancellation application, which only needs to be confirmed by phone, and everything is over.
Looking out the window at the sky that was about to light up, Keya buried her face in her knees and closed her eyes.
……
Since then, Ke Ya rarely visits Ke Qinghe in the hospital, and she gradually doesn't want to know what kind of state he is in now, what will happen if she does? Maybe it's because of the changes in my mood, so some seem a little redundant.
"Hello Ms. Ke, my side is GL Hospital, your father has some conditions, is it convenient to come to the hospital?"
The call finally came to urge her, and she was not surprised at all, she knew that Ke Qinghe had finally fallen into a deep sleep that belonged to him.
Ke Ya came to the hospital in the early morning, went straight to the floor through the elevators, and when she stepped out of the elevator, she didn't want to pay attention to all kinds of people, but walked to the familiar D ward. The nurses who greeted her greeted her with a standard professional smile, and everyone was terribly gentle.
"Hello, Ms. Ke." Dr. Chan was waiting for her at the door.
"Dr. Chen." Koya nodded.
Dr. Chen opened the door, and they stood at the door, looking at Ke Qinghe on the hospital bed, who was sleeping. He looked very serene, as if he was in a long-awaited dream, and he didn't want to wake up.
"Ms. Ke, is it convenient to talk privately?" Dr. Chan asked softly.
Ke Ya looked at Ke Qinghe on the hospital bed and replied lightly: "Isn't it the same to talk here?" He's already asleep anyway. ”
Dr. Chen was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat and began to speak, "Mr. Ke has not woken up since yesterday morning, and his body is currently maintained by these devices, so we need to communicate with you about some next steps. ”
"Then let him do that." Koya replied, "We don't choose the end. ”
Dr. Chen glanced at Keya's expression, without sadness or hesitation.
"Actually, we can't guarantee how long he can last in his current condition, after all, his body has been deeply dormant."
"Does that mean there will be any surprises?"
"No, it's all unknown." Dr. Chan leaned over and asked solemnly, "Would you like to let him go to sleep again?" ”
Ke Ya frowned lightly and looked at Doctor Chen, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's right." Dr. Chan explained, "Because of Mr. Ke's physical condition, we were just invited by the lab to do the hibernation experiment again, very shortly, 10 or 20 years, to see what happens after the second hibernation." ”
"Lab?" Keya asked, "Dr. Chen has started to be a bridge in the laboratory?" ”
Dr. Chen was surprised for a moment, then chuckled, "I won't hide this, after all, your father is also one of our first people to participate in the experimental project." All of his conditions are under follow-up observation, that is, after participating in the experiment, his body still belongs to the laboratory and can be studied. ”
Keya looked at him and took a deep breath, something she hadn't fully considered.
If Ms. Ke has any doubts, she can check the agreement and treaty signed at that time...... Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Ke asked for destruction. ”
Dr. Chen's words made Keya feel very uncomfortable. She could only choose to remain silent.
"In fact, the current proposal is to consider that the cost of maintaining the body in the later stage is not lower than that of dormancy, and that the second degree of dormancy is completely free now."
"Free?" Keya was even more puzzled, "What if he dies in hibernation?" ”
"Ms. Ke, I don't think you have carefully read the statement at that time, and all the responsibilities are voluntarily borne by the parties."
Ke Ya really didn't read those documents carefully, for her, what she wanted to know was only words, ears to hear, and understanding, and everything left on the paper was hastily brushed aside.
So, she sighed deeply, fortunately she was better than the danger, at least she could keep calm.
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
"Yes, Miss Ke." Dr. Chan did not embarrass her, "Within a reasonable time frame, it is all possible. ”
"Reasonable?"
"Yes, there is a time period involved, and it would be more appropriate to enter the program during this time period."
"How long?"
"No more than five years." Dr. Chan replied.
"Hmm." Ke Ya lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Then during this time, you will also continue to maintain his vital signs, right?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this." Dr. Chan replied, "The five-year period is for experiments, and we will not deliberately destroy the patient's spontaneous breathing during this time, and the profession of a doctor does not allow us to terminate the lives of others at will." ”
"And what if he doesn't make it to five years?"
"Then we can't do anything about it, but his body will be transferred to the laboratory, and it has nothing to do with our hospital."
"Okay, I see, what you mean is that five years is a deadline regardless of whether you accept this experiment or not, right?" Koya repeated her understanding.
"Yes, Ms. Ke."
Ke Ya glanced at Ke Qinghe, but she didn't expect her to start making decisions for him. A person who thinks she has nothing to do with herself, no, maybe it's just a blood relationship without family affection, she will also feel very embarrassed to make such a decision.
"What if, you can ask him about his own wishes?" Boya muttered.
"What?" Dr. Chan really didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Ke Ya raised her head and glanced at Doctor Chen, "I'll go first, please take care of him for me for the time being." ”
Koya walked out of the hospital as quickly as ever.
Because she had an idea, although it was a little crazy, she was willing to try it. Even though she didn't want to admit her relationship with Ke Qinghe, in many ways, the two of them had the same impulse.
