Hearing the doctor's answer, everyone was stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After a long time, Lu Jingli asked agitatedly, "What do you mean by involuntary breathing? What do you mean by brain stem reflexes disappearing … Aren't these descriptions used to describe a dead person? Doctor, can you explain it more clearly? "
The chief surgeon was the director himself. He knew how important this surgery was but he could only speak the truth. "The patient is now in a deep coma. Currently, we can only use the ventilator and medicine to maintain the patient's signs of life. Once the life support system is removed, the patient will die immediately."
Following the doctor's words, the entire corridor fell into a dead silence.
Yan Ruyi's face turned pale as she fell onto the bench. "How could this be … How could this be …"
Lu Tingxiao sat there like a statue, motionless.
The doctor paused and looked at Lu Tingxiao. "My condolences, family member. I'm sorry, but I still have to ask, do we … continue to maintain the patient's life or … remove the life support system … and let the patient leave in peace …"
"What will happen if we continue to maintain the patient's life?" After a while, Tang Lang asked with a trembling voice.
"If we continue to maintain the patient's life … he will be in a vegetative state and may lie in bed for the rest of his life. Generally speaking, even if we use machines and medicine to maintain the patient's life, it can only last for a dozen years at most because the patient's life functions will gradually deteriorate over time … "The doctor replied and sighed. Although this was considered living, it was actually suffering.
With every word the doctor said, everyone's hearts grew colder.
"Of course we continue to maintain the life support. Even if he is in a vegetative state, there will be a day when he wakes up!" Lu Jingli hurriedly said.
The doctor nodded. "That's right. Although the chances of this happening are very small, there are many precedents."
"Do you still need to ask? Of course we continue to maintain the life support! "Lu Jingli immediately made a decision.
The doctor looked a little uncertain. In the end, he turned to Lu Tingxiao and asked, "Boss Lu, you mean …"
Lu Jingli saw that the doctor was still questioning his brother and was extremely anxious. Asking his brother this kind of question, wasn't it like stabbing a knife into his heart?
After an unknown amount of time, the man's hoarse and broken voice finally sounded in the empty corridor. "Continue to maintain the life support."
"Okay, I understand." The doctor sighed and left.
…
In the VIP ward.
At this moment, the girl who had always been as carefree as the wind was lying quietly on the bed. Her body was covered with cuts and bruises, and she had lost all consciousness. She could only rely on the ventilator to maintain her life.
Lu Tingxiao sat in front of the hospital bed expressionlessly. He carefully picked up the girl's small hand that was covered with small scars and kissed it very gently. It seemed that he was afraid of disturbing her, even though he knew that she might never wake up again.
Xiaoxi … I'm sorry …
Forgive my selfishness …
I can't let you go …
Sorry …
Outside the door, Yan Ruyi and Lu Chongshan did not go in due to self-blame and guilt. They looked at the situation inside the ward through the window with a solemn expression.
They saw that their eldest son, who was always serious and apathetic, who would not bat an eyelid even when faced with great difficulties, was now holding the girl's hands and burying his head in his hands. His shoulders were trembling … and he was sobbing uncontrollably …
