Chapter 2: Silence
June 16th.
After lying in the intensive care unit for three days, Li Ang woke up slowly, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed.
The patches on his body were connected to the testing equipment at the head of the bed, which made him a little uncomfortable.
He was the only one in the room, and just as he tried to move, the pain of delay hit his body like a tsunami.
At this time, the bodyguard guarding the door saw the movement in the house, and shouted at Ricardo very happily: "Boss, boss, he's awake!" ”
At this time, Ricardo was reporting to the chairman, and when he heard the good news, he relayed it to him on the spot.
"Don't tell Li Ang about this matter whether he asks him or not, and don't check it again in private.
Just deal with it as a simple car accident, and teach him a lesson to remember it for a long time!
His mother didn't know about the car accident yet, so let's talk about it when he heals from his injuries! ”
Hanging up, Ricardo walked back as he pondered the meaning of the last few words.
That day, I was careless and forgot to count the jet lag.
It didn't take long for the phone from the United States to call to inquire about the situation.
In less than three days, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes has been found, but for some reason, the chairman did not choose to pursue it.
Back in the room, Ricardo looked at Leon staring at the ceiling with his eyes distracted, and pressed the call button at the head of the bed to call the doctor.
Didn't react to everything around until the doctor came over and asked what was feeling.
He grinned dryly, first pointing at his throat, then closing his eyes and shaking his head, pinning his head in the direction of the window, unable to accept the fact.
He lost his voice.
……
Pull the doctor down the hallway.
"Why can't you speak? Is it only temporary..."
"There is a possibility that a car accident can injure the brain and cause aphasia. Then there is the possibility of a car accident injuring articulatory organs, such as the cranial nerves, vocal cords, and oral cavity that control speech.
Judging from the results of the current examination, the former is preferred.
Repair due to damage to brain neurons is slow. ”
"That means it's possible to get back to normal, but it's a long process?"
"First of all, let him relax his anxious mood, excessive depression or nervousness is one of the reasons why he can't recover in time.
Don't worry too much, as time passes, the body's functions will slowly return to normal, as long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can return to normal in about three to six months! ”
……
Knowing the general situation, Ricardo went out of his way to find a sticky note paper and pen.
When he returned to the hospital bed, he put his things in a convenient place for him to reach, and by the way, he recounted what he had just talked to the doctor so that he would not have too much psychological pressure.
The left forearm and left calf were tightly wrapped in a plaster cast, and he could not speak with his mouth open.
It's like having a dream for a very long time, and as soon as I wake up, I become like this, and I vaguely remember that the car was hit hard, and I subconsciously hugged my head, and then I lost consciousness.
I had a lot to ask, so I picked up my pen and prepared to write it down for Ricardo.
After some effort, I had to accept the fact that I could only have a manual one, and I couldn't see what I wrote at all, and it was very difficult.
The man in front of him was still stunned like a fool, and Li Ang rolled his eyes in anger.
[Bring me my phone]
"Oh yes, I forgot I had a cell phone, it's true that a cell phone is more convenient than a pen and paper."
The previous phone was already sparse when I went to the police station to pick it up, and I bought a new one to recover the data.
I looked back and forth at the new phone, and turned it on, and the simple initial desktop didn't have an app yet.
It is difficult to enter the ID account number and download the commonly used software.
I have to say that the Wi-Fi in the hospital is quite fast.
[What happened to everyone else in the crash that night?] 】
Sending a message is still faster and more convenient than handwriting.
With a "ding" sound, Ricardo picked up his phone and looked at the message he sent, and said the wording of the response that he had already thought of in his heart: "The accident was determined to be a series of car accidents caused by drunk driving running a red light, and the perpetrator has died after being rescued." ”
Hearing him say this, Li Ang didn't think much about it, after all, he didn't know what was going on.
[The doctor said can you eat, I'm a little hungry after I have come to my senses.] 】
Reading the news, Ricardo turned and left the ward to arrange food.
After he left, Leon looked around the room, and there was nothing left for recreation except for the TV hanging on the wall.
I picked up the remote control on the cabinet next to me and turned on the TV, and I changed the channel but didn't find anything good.
casually cut to a channel that was broadcasting news, turned his head and took his mobile phone to check the unread news he had accumulated in the past few days.
It seems that few people know what they have been doing for the past two days, and the messages are all normal daily greetings.
Since that night, it was Kim Taeyeon who sent the most messages.
Some wondered how she knew she had been in a car accident.
With some doubts, I sent her a message back on Kakao.
[You seem to know everything!] 】
Only half of my body can move, and lying in bed for too long causes some discomfort in my back, and it is also inconvenient to hold my mobile phone at the same time.
After fumbling around around the side of the bed for a while, I found the adjustment button and raised the head of the bed a little higher.
[Fortunately, Oba is okay with you. 】
[So, are you in the hospital now, are you seriously injured? That night...]
The other side kept showing that it was typing, but it was broken there that night when he mentioned it.
[Don't tell me that you calculated these cards, are tarot cards so magical?] 】
Someone can talk, and the irritable heart gradually calms down.
Compared to not being able to move one hand or foot, what made him even more uncomfortable was not being able to speak.
[Is it convenient to answer the phone now?] 】
What is asked is not answered.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and Li Ang was a little distracted for a while, not knowing how to reply to this question.
The self-asserted phone had already arrived.
The ringing continued until it hung up automatically, and the finger stayed in front of the screen and did not click it for a long time.
The door to the hospital room opened, and Ricardo walked in with his first meal since waking up.
……
Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong.
Kim Taeyeon frowned slightly as she listened to the busy voice on the other end of the phone.
Then he realized that this overly enthusiastic behavior may have made him feel burdened.
The messages sent in the past only showed that they had been read and did not reply, and I felt that a few cats were scratching with their paws.
Jin Ze, who was lying at his feet, jumped on the sofa, arched into Kim Taeyeon's arms and began to be coquettish.
"Don't make trouble, I'm not in the mood to play with you at this time, go back to the nest to play by yourself."
Kicking it off the couch, Kim Tae-yeon let out a long sigh and opened the map on her phone to search for the location of Samsung Hospital.
Located in Gangbuk Jongro and Gangnam Yiwon-dong, I don't know which one he is in.
It didn't take long for Kakao to receive a message alert.
I couldn't wait to cut it back, and I saw that it was really from him.
[It's not convenient to answer the phone right now.] 】
