The group of four took the elevator down to the fourth floor again, walked through the long corridor filled with the smell of medical disinfectant alcohol, and finally came to the door of the ward with the "Intensive Care Unit" hanging. Su Xue:
"I won't go in first."
"There are still some things to discuss with Zhou Wei. The three of you will come in and accompany you here."
It is true that the reason for coming to Manchester early this time is due to the sudden accident. However, several people, including No. 1, still have other tasks to deal with. In this St Edinland Hospital I spent almost a whole day and a night with me, and there was a delay in time. At this moment, the situation of the girl in the ward has finally stabilized, and I can take a breath and continue to work on other things.
And the voice of Number 1 fell, and Number 3 next to him interjected:
"I'll go with you."
After speaking, he paused, and glanced around with some disgust: "A place like a hospital... It's really not a place for people to stay."
With his temperament, he couldn't stand this rather gloomy atmosphere, not to mention the continuous rain in Manchester City in the past two days, which added a bit of unpleasant damp and gloomy air, if not the same care and concern. The girl's condition is safe, and he can't stay in this place for a moment.
Number Five gave Number Three an angry look:
"If you don't like it, pay attention to your body."
"I smoke every day, I can't even persuade me."
The corner of No. 1's mouth beside him twitched: "It's useless to persuade the third child, he is just like that, let him go."
No. 3 laughed: "You still understand me, don't you have something to deal with, hurry up, let's go—"
This started to urge.
It was obvious that he really refused to stay in this place for even a second.
So the four of them parted and said goodbye to each other like this. Seeing No. 3 almost dragging his fiance and forcibly stepping away, No. 5 reluctantly shook his head and turned to look at Su Xue apologetically: "I'm sorry, No. 3 is his character..."
"It's all right," Su Xue waved her hands again and again, and glanced at No. 3's back in the distance: "I think it's pretty good too."
"Well," No. 5 smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Well, let's not talk about this, let's go and see the buns first."
Su Xue nodded, then watched No. 5 hold the door handle of the ward and turned to the right, and couldn't help holding her breath subconsciously.
squeak-
There was a slight noise as the handle was twisted.
Immediately, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.
Su Xue followed No. 5 into the ward.
It is said to be an intensive care room, but it is actually not much different from an ordinary ward. It has the same white walls, white gauze curtains, clean and tidy beds, and the faint smell of alcohol disinfectant. The only difference is that it is not like other wards. In a normal ward, two or three small beds are often placed side by side. In the intensive care room in front of Su Xue, there is only one soft and white hospital bed neatly placed in the center of the ward.
Su Xue's gaze almost subconsciously looked towards the hospital bed for the first time.
Also naturally.
I saw the girl on the hospital bed.
…
Time has passed for half a year.
For Su Xue, she has also thought countless times about what kind of life the girl who left without saying goodbye lived after she left, and she also always had hopes and expectations that she could meet again one day.
But after the truth and even the bad news she learned in the past few days, she couldn't help but feel even more worried and concerned about the situation of today's young girls. She was thinking wildly about what it would be like for that sly and elf-like girl to suffer from such an unimaginable illness.
until this moment.
When she really saw the girl on the hospital bed again with her own eyes, even though she had already made all kinds of assumptions, she even tried to prepare herself mentally the moment before she walked into the ward...
When she looked at the girl on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and her face so pale that there was almost no blood on her face, her heart was still suddenly clenched by an invisible big hand, and her feet staggered back two steps uncontrollably.
This…
Or the girl she knew
Yes, it is familiar.
It's still the same delicate and beautiful face, and nearly perfect and impeccable facial features, and the long weak hair falls behind the shoulders like a waterfall and is scattered on the white bed sheets.
But it was so unfamiliar.
Because the girl she used to know has bright eyes like jewels, always has a cunning smile on her face, is always full of energy and even infects the people around her. And uplifted and cheerful.
But now the girl is lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, her eyes are closed and her brows are frowning, as if she is still suffering great pain in a deep sleep and coma. The heart was trembling and wanted to reach out to caress, but he didn't dare because he was afraid that just a simple touch would bring more pain to the girl.
Behind him, No. 5 said softly:
"The doctor in charge of the operation said that the new experimental drug cannot be used for anesthesia, so even in a state of coma and sleep, the operation will still be extremely painful."
"There have been other ALS patients before, even Ossenmer's patients who have undergone similar trials, but almost no one can withstand the pain without anesthesia, which leads to the failure of the operation - this is the need for family members to sign The risk of the agreement lies.”
"But the previous operation lasted a full four hours from start to finish..."
"It went very well."
Very euphemistic wording, softly said slowly.
What can be revealed is a terrifying thrill that seems to be inadvertently terrifying.
"The doctor said that even people who are mentally tough enough in normal times will always show their true and vulnerable side when they are seriously ill and weak or even in a coma, so it is almost impossible to control themselves in a coma."
The voice of No. 5 still sounded in the empty and quiet ward:
"But… "
"Baozi did it."
"It has shocked all the doctors and nurses in charge of the operation, because they have never met a girl in their decades of experience, who can still seem to be on the brink of such a fragile and almost dying cliff. Subconsciously and desperately trying to persevere, desperately trying to seize the only ray of hope."
The number 5 whispered in her ear, Su Xue stared blankly at the girl on the hospital bed, with tears streaming down her cheeks at some point:
"She shouldn't have to endure this."
No. 5 walked forward slowly, held Su Xue's hand, also looked at the girl on the hospital bed in front of him, and said softly:
"It's not up to us to decide."
"But at least—"
"We know she never gave up."
