All the way from home to Pudong Airport, taking off after a full 12-hour flight, over 10,000 miles away to reach London, and then have to go to the train station to take a full two-hour train to Manchester City, the journey is very hard. However, at this time, Su Xue didn't have time to think about it. After calling No. 5, she hurriedly asked the question she was most concerned about:
"On your side… "
"how is it now?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and after a while, the voice of No. 5 came again:
"It's better than before."
Just hearing this sentence made Su Xue heave a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good..."
Don't say anything else.
At least, it should not be the worst situation that she was most worried about and afraid to hear.
However, following her, she hurriedly asked:
"How exactly?"
"Bun, has she finished the operation, is she awake?"
Before boarding the plane, she had a phone call with No. 5. Knowing that this was the girl's parents, she finally made a decision and signed the agreement issued by the hospital to send the girl to the operating table again to be the most important one. Operation.
Now…
Ten hours have passed.
How is the result
No. 5 on the other end of the phone quickly replied: "Well, according to the doctor, the operation went well, and the next step is to see when Baozi will recover and wake up."
Surgery went well
Su Xue was almost overjoyed when she heard it. Even though she was still on the shuttle bus crowded with passengers, she couldn't help but dance with excitement:
"Great!"
"Hey, the big hospitals in the UK are just different. The level is really high!"
"You can rest assured now! Great, great!"
"That steamed bun is treated like this, right?"
At this moment, Su Xue was really full of sudden surprises. On the way to London, she was so nervous and worried that she couldn't rest in the cabin at all, for fear that she would hear unacceptable things when she landed. Bad news.
But now...
It's the perfect result, isn't it?
At that time, let that guy Xiaofeng know, and there is no need to worry about other things!
However, the next moment, the voice of the number 5 on the other end of the phone came again, but it seemed to pour cold water on the excited Su Xue:
"Not that optimistic."
"The doctor said... the operation went well, but it wasn't really a 'success'."
"It's just that this time Baozi's emergency was relieved and rescued, and she got out of the most dangerous state, but if you want to say radical cure... it's still a lot worse."
"Ah?" Su Xue was dumbfounded.
But the next moment she reacted, and she suddenly became anxious: "What do you mean? No cure? Didn't I say that this operation took a lot of risks and adopted some new technology and new drugs that can completely solve that Ossenmer's disease?"
Ossenmer.
A rather obscure term for a professional pathology.
But Su Xue forcibly memorized these words in her mind almost after hearing it from mouth No. 5 for the first time. She madly searched for information on the Internet to try to access and understand the relevant information about this disease. However, there are very few information items found in the search, and the only few lines of introduction text are shocking—
Ossenmer, a variant of ALS (ALS), occurs in less than 3 in 1,000 patients with conventional ALS, and there are no cured cases yet.
Temporary, none, cured, cured, sick, cases.
Just the last six words.
It's almost enough to make people feel desperate in an instant.
As for Su Xue, when she heard on the phone that the latest surgery might be able to completely cure the girl, she finally felt excited and hopeful, but at this moment...
That hope was shattered and shattered in an instant.
"What are you doing!!" At this time, Su Xue was almost out of breath, and the next second, the St. Edinland Hospital, which was full of praise, changed her attitude three hundred and sixty degrees: "What broke the hospital, you talk nonsense. Well, if you can't, just say it straight, doesn't this make Baozi take such a big risk in vain?"
Number 5 on the other end of the phone couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly:
"I can't blame the hospital, they have done their best, and... It was originally said that this operation is only a little hope for a complete cure, and no more guarantees are given."
Of course it is the truth.
But Su Xue still couldn't help being upset: "But when will it go on like this... By the way, how is the steamed bun now, at least he is out of danger, right?"
No. 5 gave a "hmm": "During the operation, Baozi woke up once."
Um
Su Xue finally regained her spirits. She was distracted and hurriedly asked, "Then what? Is your condition okay? Did you say anything?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then I heard the voice of No. 5 ringing again:
"When she woke up, she only said one word—"
Having said this, she paused again, and Su Xue on the other end of the phone subconsciously tightened her heart slightly as if she had vaguely guessed the answer.
"She said, 'Don't let him know'."
The shuttle bus was still running on the tarmac, and the bumpy road was a little swaying. The passengers in the carriage complained for a while, and there was some noise.
For Su Xue, the moment she heard the girl's words relayed by the number five on the other end of the phone, it seemed that the whole world was silent for a moment.
Only the words lingered in my ears—
Don't let him know.
It was a very vague sentence. You can imagine the scene on the operating table at that time. The girl who had not yet escaped the danger lay weakly on the table with a pale and bloodless expression. She reluctantly opened her eyes and tried to speak in a weak voice. After these few words, he may faint again.
"He" in this sentence.
Of course there can't be anyone else.
Su Xue's eyes turned slightly red, she tried her best to sniff her nose to calm herself down, and said with a reluctant smile:
"Fortunately... Even if that guy Xiaofeng noticed something, at least none of us have let him know the truth, so Baozi should be relieved—"
But the next moment, the voice of the number five on the other end of the phone came again, but it seemed to send another bad news:
"You didn't have time to tell you on the plane before."
"But I heard from Fang Nan that Xiao Feng is already applying for an expedited visa."
"possible… "
"He will come over as soon as tomorrow."
what!
For a moment, Su Xue was completely stunned and completely forgot that there were a bunch of passengers around her exclaiming: "He, he is coming too!?"
Number 5 on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly:
"With Xiaofeng's character... If he senses something a little wrong, he will definitely do such a thing."
like…
That's true.
It took only a second or two for Su Xue to wake up and realize the truth of this truth, and then she was at a loss: "Then... what should I do now?"
Everyone, including her, tried their best to keep this truth a secret from someone, but in the end... someone just went to Manchester City regardless.
It is really the most simple, direct and rude, but in fact the most effective way.
No. 5 was also unable to answer this question, just said:
"Come here first, meet us and then discuss."
"Anyway..."
"The top priority now is to hope that Baozi will wake up soon."
