"You want her to continue taking that medicine?" Li Xi stared at Song Zhicheng in disbelief.
"We need to collect accurate data so we can make improvements to the medicine."
"That medicine is useless!" Li Zhan shouted, "Look at what happened to the two people in front of them?"
Song Zhicheng remained silent. This hospital is owned by the Li family, and the drugs were developed by them in order to treat the young master in front of him. The accident a year ago resulted in the death of more than 2,000 people. Of the last five survivors, one gave up treatment, one died in a clinical trial, and another was on the verge of death. The only one left, except Li Xi, was Yuanchu.
Yuanchu is currently Li Xi's only hope for survival. Both he, as the attending doctor, and the old man of the Li family hope that this experiment can continue. Although a little selfish, to them, Li Xi's life was much more important than this girl.
"The new medicine is not ineffective, but the side effects are too great." Song Zhicheng comforted, "As long as she can survive it, there is great hope of recovery."
"Fart!" Li Xi sneered, "Two adults can't handle it, how can a seven or eight-year-old girl handle it?"
"Li Xi, calm down."
"I'm very calm, I just don't want to live in such pain in the last time!" Li Xi's voice was suppressed, and his sunken eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, Yuan Chu was pushed back in a wheelchair by the nurse.
"Nothing." Li Xi ignored Song Zhicheng, walked over, took the wheelchair from the nurse, and pushed Yuan Chu into the ward.
"I bought you a lot of delicious food." Li Han laid out the food on the bedside table one by one. There were candies, bayberries, cakes, etc., all piled high.
Yuan Chu looked at it for a while and said seriously: "I can't eat these things. The doctor said that I can only eat liquid food."
"Who cares what he says?" Li Xi roughly tore open the candy wrapper, "Eat it if you want."
"No, we have to listen to the doctor." Yuan Chu took his hand and said seriously, "Not only can I not eat, you can't eat either!"
"The doctor's words are all lies." Li Xi grabbed a candy and was about to put it in his mouth, but Yuan Chu snatched it away.
She gathered the snacks on the bedside table, swept them all into the bag, then quickly tied them with a knot, and taught her a lesson: "If we don't listen to the doctor, our illness will not be cured."
"Innocent brat." A flash of ridicule flashed in Li Xi's eyes, "Do you think we will still be okay?"
"Of course." Yuanchu raised his arms and vowed, "I've already started."
Li Xi looked at the skinny arm covered with pinholes, and his heart ached for no reason.
"It won't get better." He whispered to himself, "It can't get better..."
Their lives are counting down, and as each day passes, they may fall asleep and never wake up again.
Yuan Chu saw that the luck in him was crumbling away bit by bit, like a flickering firefly, lighting up her eyes.
"Promise me not to take that medicine again." Li Zhan said softly, "I will stay with you for the rest of the time."
"I'm sorry, brother." Yuanchu patted his chest and smiled, "I want to become healthier, so I have to take medicine."
"That kind of medicine can't make you healthier at all, it will only make you miserable!" Li Xi cruelly broke her fantasy.
"Brother, do you want to make a bet with me?" Yuan Chu didn't care about his attitude and made a sure decision, "If I get better, you will accept the treatment obediently and obey the doctor's arrangements."
Li Xi: You will never get better, you will never get better!
I denied it in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud.
"I won't make such a stupid bet with you." Li Xi stood up suddenly, "Since you are looking for trouble, I don't care about you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me?" Yuan Chu shouted behind him.
"I don't want to accompany you anymore!" The last voice disappeared outside the door, and the footsteps also faded away.
Li Xi kept his word and would not accompany her if he said he wouldn't, as if he had completely forgotten her.
She didn't force it at first. Her body was gradually collapsing under the rejection of the law, but no matter how painful it was, she insisted on taking the medicine. Although Li Zhan didn't come to see her, she knew that he had been paying attention to her. She didn't need to say it, just do it.
Three days later, a second volunteer went. He committed suicide. Unable to bear the pain caused by the side effects, he jumped from the roof of the building and suffered a broken neck bone. He died tragically.
Li Zhan witnessed the whole process with no expression on his face until he caught a glimpse of the little girl sitting by the window, and a wave of emotion appeared in his eyes.
He quickly came to the door of the original ward, gently pushed open a crack, and saw her pushing the wheelchair back to the bed, holding on to the edge of the bed and climbing up onto the bed with great effort. There was no fear or panic on his face, just a calmness that seemed to look down on life and death.
A few drops of blood seeped out from her skin. She picked up a tissue and wiped it gently, but she couldn't wipe it clean. In the blink of an eye, dozens of tissues were stained red. It wasn't until she was sure she couldn't stop the bleeding on her own that she rang the bedside call bell.
The nurse came in quickly. Under her supervision, Yuan Chu took the medicine and took the injection obediently. He didn't cry from beginning to end and even thanked the nurse with a smile.
Looking at her appearance, I thought it was nothing serious. But when the nurse left, she immediately curled up and huddled into a ball, trembling uncontrollably. She could vaguely hear the subtle moans like a kitten's, forbearing and strong.
Li Xi leaned against the wall, clutching his throbbing chest, his eyes numb. He had seen the reaction of the second volunteer after taking the drug with his own eyes. It was painful to the bone marrow, as if he was crazy, and would drive the person to a dead end.
The original side effects should have occurred long ago, but she did not cry or ask for help, and calmly fought against the disease. That small body seemed to possess infinite strength, tenacity and fearlessness.
Li Xi originally thought that the little girl was just strong enough, until he overheard a conversation between him and Song Zhicheng.
"Shout out if it hurts, don't hold it in." Song Zhicheng comforted her warmly while helping her persevere.
Yuanchu shook his head and said in a dry voice: "I can't shout out."
"Why?"
"I'm worried that brother Li Xi will be scared when he hears it."
Song Zhicheng was stunned: "What?"
"I made a bet with him. As long as I get better, he will accept the treatment obediently." Yuan Chu smiled weakly, "So, I can't shout or scare him, otherwise he won't dare to eat when I get better. What about the medicine?”
Li Xi covered his mouth and his eyes turned red instantly. His body slid down the wall, squatted on the ground, buried his head in his knees, and cried silently.
Who agreed to bet with you? Don't make your own decisions, okay? idiot!
From that day on, Li Xi no longer avoided her. He reported to her ward every day, watched her take medicine, gave her injections, and fed her porridge. Under the influence of the side effects, she lost weight day by day and suffered day by day, but her eyes were always full of hope. The dazzling light never went out, illuminating his heart like the sun, making him inevitably have a baby. A bit of anticipation.
However, there are no miracles in life.
There are only the last three hours left in this world.
Her hair had been stripped off, she was so thin that she was out of shape, her body was stained with blood, and she couldn't even speak.
Yuanchu stared at Li Xi quietly, his eyes twinkling, and silently encouraged: Li Xi, you are the son of luck, don't give up hope.
"Xiaochu, Xiaochu..." Li Xi called in a low voice, fearing that he would scare away her soul.
Yuan Chu felt the repulsive power from the law and closed his eyes tiredly. A large amount of blood seeped out of his skin, and his body collapsed bit by bit.
Beep beep beep... A rapid alarm sound came from the instrument. The doctors could not even save the fragile little body, and could only watch helplessly as the line of life turned into a straight line.
"Time of death: 15:35."
When Song Zhicheng regretfully told Li Xi the bad news, he finally collapsed.
"Don't die." The trembling voice was filled with humility as never before, "Please..."
"Didn't you say you would be fine? Little liar!"
Screams of pain echoed in the room.
Li Han regretted that he did not suffer the pain of illness with this girl and let her leave alone.
Her smile, her strength, and her optimism were like the last surprise in his life, warm and shining. Although he didn't admit it, he did get the power to survive from her. But he never did anything for her, not even encouraged her.
"I promise you, can't I promise you? I will accept the treatment obediently and follow the doctor's arrangements... "
"...Really?" A voice as thin as a mosquito suddenly reached Li Xi's ears.
Li Xi raised his head suddenly and suddenly met a pair of bright eyes.
At the same time, the lifeline on the instrument fluctuated again.
The medical staff nearby were all shocked.
Just now, Li Xi completely let down his guard, successfully established contact with the original, and forcefully pulled her consciousness back from the endless sea, creating a miracle of resurrection from the dead.
"Haha..." Li Xi cried and laughed like an idiot.
Yuan Chu's eyelashes trembled slightly, giving him a bright smile.
Li Xi thought that he would never forget this smile in his life.
After some examination and treatment, doctors determined that Yuan Chu was out of danger, and his weak body was recovering at a slow speed.
The first volunteer and the second volunteer only lasted seven or eight days after taking the medicine. But Yuan Chu persisted for a full month, using her young and thin body to tenaciously survive the torture of the disease. Seventy-eight seconds after her heartbeat stopped, she miraculously came back to life.
What happened to her shocked everyone.
"Look, I told you before." Yuan Chu looked at Li Xi with a bald head, "I'll be fine."
"Yes, yes, you are the best." Li Zhan took a hot towel and carefully wiped her body.
"What about you?" Yuan Chu turned over and lifted up his clothes so that he could help wipe his back. "When will you take the medicine?"
"You can eat it whenever you want." Li Zhan now wished he could hold her in his hands like a porcelain doll and do everything he could to her.
"No, you have to listen to the doctor. When the doctor tells you to take it, you take it."
"Got it!" Li Xi turned her over again and fiddled with the pillow to make her lie more comfortable.
Seeing how well-behaved he was for the first time, Yuan finally smiled with satisfaction.
After successfully establishing a relationship with the son of destiny, the power of rejection is gone, the pain is gone, and the whole person is floating, perfect!
