The person with the abnormal condition was Li CunZhuang.
He had a strong physique. Although he suffered a lot of external injuries when he fought against Zhao GuangTou's gang to protect Shu Sha, he recovered quickly.
I haven't seen him on the field since last Friday, but I didn't think much of it. His grades weren't good, and it was common for him to skip school. He didn't have enough talent points allocated to intelligence, so advancing to a higher school wasn't a reasonable plan.
But today, I called everyone I knew. When it was Li CunZhuang's mother's turn to pick up, her tone was obviously different. It was the kind of tone where she was trying to suppress her pain.
"Auntie, tell me the truth. What happened to Zhuang Zi?"
I was one of the few 'friends' for Li CunZhuang, who was fierce and didn't express himself well. Although I don't know how to behave properly when I interact with girls, it's my basic principle to treat each other with sincerity and never abandon each other.
Li CunZhuang's mother hesitated for a while, then she held back her tears and said: "Ye Lin, if you have time, come visit Zhuang Zi at the hospital …"
My heart skipped a beat.
Li CunZhuang had thick skin and strong bones, he would never be sent to the hospital for treatment because of a normal injury. Combined with his mother's sad tone, something big must have happened!
I didn't waste a second and immediately called a taxi to Dong Shan City Brain Hospital according to the address provided by the other party.
I knew something was wrong when I saw the hospital sign with red words on a white background from afar.
Brain? Did Li CunZhuang get into a fight again and his brain was seriously injured?
I arrived outside Li CunZhuang's room while smelling the disinfectant smell in the hallway. Li CunZhuang's father was the first to receive me. His mother was sitting on a bench and wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Sigh …"
First was a long sigh.
"Ye Lin, you know that our Zhuang Zi doesn't have many friends in school, so we didn't tell the school the truth. Even if he's cured, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back to school …"
"Uncle Li, what happened to Zhuang Zi? Tell me! "
I, who was burning with impatience, finally heard that ominous term.
— — Brain aneurysm.
Since last week, Li CunZhuang suddenly had double vision in his left eye. It was so serious that he couldn't hold things or walk. He had to cover his left eye with his hand to barely get used to it. Finally, his father took him to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
The ophthalmologist was more experienced. After listening to Li CunZhuang's symptoms, he immediately suggested that he do a brain CT scan. The results came out that afternoon. It was a brain aneurysm. The results of the MRI scan were the same. According to the specialist, the aneurysm was huge and in a bad position. The blood vessels could rupture at any time. Surgery had to be done as soon as possible.
The sudden bad news struck Li CunZhuang's parents like they were struck by lightning. After that, they used their connections to find an acquaintance and transferred their son to the city's Dongshan City Brain Hospital, which specialized in treating cerebral aneurysms. However, according to the analysis of the patient's condition, the chief physician still judged that the success rate of the surgery was not optimistic. According to his own words, "I can't even guarantee that he'll be able to leave the operating table."
From the whispers of the nurses, Li CunZhuang's parents mostly heard "the position is so bad. Even if the surgery succeeds, he'll either become an idiot or an idiot." When Li CunZhuang heard the words "idiot" and "idiot", he was so angry that he threw things at the nurses. His parents could only try to dissuade him, but they could only secretly cry.
Since the surgery was so dangerous, they also asked if there was any possibility of conservative treatment. The answer they received was: "Your son's condition is very unstable. If the aneurysm ruptures, he'll either die or become partially paralyzed."
Buddhists say "everything is impermanent." Who would have thought that Li CunZhuang, who was as strong as a bear, would suddenly face a life and death situation?
I took a deep breath and felt the air in my lungs become heavy.
Fuck, what kind of melodramatic plot development is this! I've never liked to watch urban dramas about bitterness! Li CunZhuang, how could you die! Bastard! The psycho Fang Xin predicted that the person I love the most would die … Fuck, the person I love the most isn't Li CunZhuang! What a scam! Fang Xin, go eat sh * t! Let the person who got Zhuang Zi's aneurysm go eat sh * t!
Since Li CunZhuang became more irritable after he got sick and liked to smash things, the hospital specially arranged a single patient room for him. Of course, the fees were more expensive.
When I walked in, Li CunZhuang couldn't understand the two Chinese characters on the IV bottle, so he angrily threw the folding chair at the door. I calmly used Yin Yang Sanshou to reduce the force of the chair. Then, I walked to his bed with the chair and sat down.
"It's … it's you?"
Li CunZhuang's exposed right eye flashed with a dull but intimate light.
"Yes, it's me." I tried to remain natural and started chatting with Li CunZhuang even though my chest was stinging.
During our conversation, I found out that Li CunZhuang did not know his exact condition because he was born with low intelligence, so it was not difficult to hide it from him. However, Li CunZhuang's instincts told me that it was different this time.
"Ye … Ye Zi, I keep feeling like I can't move my body …"
Can you throw the folding chair so high if you can't move your body? I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Some … some nurses told me behind my back that I might become an idiot after I get cured. Actually, I'm already stupid enough right now. I know it myself, but I don't want others to say it in front of me …"
"Say … say, if I become even more stupid, would I not even recognize myself?" Li CunZhuang raised his head in a daze, "At that time, I might not even remember you as a friend, and I might even forget about Shu Sha. I'm … a bit unwilling … "
Although I don't want to use the phrase "when a person is about to die, his words are always kind" to describe him, but that was the feeling Li CunZhuang gave me when he suddenly became talkative.
"Ye … Ye Zi, if I become an idiot … if I become even more stupid, can you continue to be my friend? But if I forget Shu Sha, don't let me remember her again. I'm already very ugly right now, I don't want Shu Sha to see me in an even worse state … At that time, you have to protect her in my place … "
Bastard! What … what kind of demoralizing words are you saying! Have you ever watched Korean dramas! It's all because of the unfortunate fate of beauties! It's not your turn to die! Live on! Live on bravely like Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame!
After saying a lot of comforting words to Li CunZhuang that even I didn't believe, I left the ward. My heart was in a mess and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
On the way back from the washroom, I happened to run into Li CunZhuang's father talking to the chief physician. The chief physician's forehead was full of confident wrinkles, and his glasses were as spotless as his white coat.
"Chief Han, if it's a big hospital in Beijing, would the surgery have a higher success rate?"
Li CunZhuang's father held onto a glimmer of hope.
Supervisor Han pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said proudly,
"With your son's condition, none of the neurologists in the country would dare to make any guarantees! What's so great about Beijing? Zhao Zhongxue from Beijing 301 Hospital is also an expert in this field, he's my student! He's not even as experienced as me! "
Seeing that Li CunZhuang's father was still hesitant, Chief Han said with a heavier tone:
"In terms of brain aneurysm surgery, even if you travel all over China, the treatment won't be any better than our hospital! If you have to worry about the success rate, then go to America for treatment! America does have more experience in treating brain aneurysm compared to China, but you have to apply for a medical passport and take a plane. Who knows if you can wait or not, unless you can invite a famous doctor from America to China as the chief surgeon … "
This sentence gave me a flash of inspiration. I couldn't hold back the joy in my heart and suddenly ran forward to hold Chief Han's arm. I shook his hand and said loudly:
"Thank you! Thank you for reminding me! You're my savior! I know what to do now! "
Then I turned around and said to Li CunZhuang's father: "Uncle Li, don't arrange for Zhuang Zi's surgery today. I'll be back soon. I'll give you the news by tonight at the latest. Can you trust me this time?"
Uncle Li said hesitantly: "Even if you want to do the surgery here, you need at least three days to prepare, Ye Lin, are you …"
"Anyway, I'll give you the results tonight, you have to wait for me!"
I waved my hand and ran towards the exit of the hospital. Halfway there, I realized running was not allowed in the hospital, so I walked briskly instead.
"What's wrong with this young man?" A nurse thought Chief Han knew me when she saw me shaking hands with him.
Chief Han frowned, "I don't have a deep impression of him … maybe he's a patient I've treated before? He's so strange, I'm afraid it might have left some sequelae! "
After leaving Dong Shan City Brain Hospital, I immediately went to the VIP building of Qing Zi Academy to meet up with Peng TouSi.
China was founded on science, so how could I believe in supernatural beings and go to Dong Shan City Mental Hospital to find Fang Xin to "change my fate"? Also, Li CunZhuang isn't the person I love the most! Don't look down on me, I have absolute confidence in this!
In order to get the best treatment for Li CunZhuang's illness, the logical and scientific choice was to follow Ai Mi's route and let her use Ai ShuQiao's connections to contact a brain surgeon to come to China to operate on Li CunZhuang!
"Can it be done?"
After I met up with Peng TouSi alone in the guest room, I got straight to the point and told him the whole story in hopes of getting his help.
"Madam Ai ShuQiao does know a lot of elites in the medical world. She even found a few people to work as full-time doctors in her company. Sometimes, she even offers medical bribes to mafia leaders … Letting her subordinates save their lives is a better favor than anything else …"
"In other words, it's possible to get a full-time doctor to operate on my friend?"
I excitedly placed my hands on the coffee table.
"Lin, calm down, we need a better reason." Peng TouSi sat on the sofa with his fingers intertwined and said cautiously.
"A better reason?" I didn't react for a moment.
Peng TouSi lowered his voice, "Think about it, if Madam Ai ShuQiao finds out why you need a brain surgeon, she might force you to do something you don't want to do."
"Then, then there's no other way!" I said urgently, "If it can save Li CunZhuang's life, I'm willing to risk my life for a friend …"
"What if Madam Ai ShuQiao told you to rape a female classmate before she would send a doctor?"
"Um …" I was speechless, "Then what should I do?"
