Chapter 416 - 388 Consciousness Death
During this time, a nurse had urged Lin Tian to rest a little, but he stood as if he couldn't hear or see, not blinking even once.
The emergency surgery continued, and ten hours passed by quickly. Doctors had rotated several times, yet Lin Tian remained motionless in his spot.
Throughout those ten hours, he had not touched a drop of water, and his lips started to dry out. He dared not leave, nor did he dare to collapse. No matter how exhausted his body was, Lin Tian told himself to keep going, to hold on until He Qianqian was rescued.
He was afraid that if he left and came back, he would hear the terrible news about He Qianqian. He feared that if he passed out and woke up, the first news he would hear was that He Qianqian's treatment had failed...
Another five hours passed, and the doctors in the emergency room had changed three times. Chen Lihui was switched in again. When he saw Lin Tian standing in the corridor, he said nothing, just sighed inwardly before going back in.
When he was switched out, he too had tried to persuade Lin Tian, but Lin Tian said nothing, did nothing. He couldn't possibly force him down, could he?
The situation with He Qianqian in the emergency room was not good. Although her heartbeat had been restored after the initial resuscitation, there were minutes between each beat, an extremely unstable condition, because no one knew when the heartbeat might stop. Therefore, they had to try their best to stabilize He Qianqian's heartbeat.
But he was worried; just as they had stabilized the patient inside, the one outside might need rescuing next.
Entering the emergency room, Chen Lihui first checked all of He Qianqian's current conditions. The situation was promising; He Qianqian's heartbeat had now settled to a beat every dozen seconds, indicating it wouldn't be long before it stabilized.
But when he asked the nurse how long this condition had lasted, the response made him frown.
The nurse told him that He Qianqian's heart rate had been holding at a beat every dozen seconds for the past ten hours. It reached this frequency during the shift right after he left, and now, after another ten hours, it was still the same, making it very unlikely to change.
After the second group of doctors left, the third group came in, using the same methods, but there had been no changes. Chen Lihui couldn't claim he was better than them.
"Let's attempt resuscitation one more time," Chen Lihui hesitated before speaking. In this battle, they had neither won nor lost. Although they had pulled He Qianqian back from death's grasp, they hadn't managed to wake her up.
Several more hours passed, the red light of the emergency room turned green, and the door was opened. He Qianqian was wheeled out on a stretcher.
"Doctor, how is she?" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian being wheeled out, his expressionless face finally showing some change, his eyes flashing with urgency as he rushed towards Chen Lihui and asked.
Due to the long duration without water, his voice was low and hoarse, as if there was a clump of sand stuck in his throat.
"The patient is out of danger..." Chen Lihui began, looking into Lin Tian's anxious eyes.
"That's great, that's great. As long as she's alright, it's all good..." Lin Tian murmured in relief, then his eyes rolled back, and he finally fainted.
"Nurse, nurse... quickly bring a stretcher over here." Chen Lihui hastily supported the collapsed Lin Tian and called for a nurse before he had to head back to the emergency room without a pause.
Pulling open Lin Tian's clothing and seeing the multiple severe wounds, Chen Lihui gasped. He couldn't imagine how Lin Tian had held on for so long, with such serious injuries, standing outside for more than ten hours.
What immense willpower did that take? Especially seeing the wound on his shoulder, his bone was severed, even leaking bone marrow.
The sight was horrifying.
Chen Lihui had first treated some of the more serious wounds. A nurse assisted by his side, and several hours passed by the time he left the emergency room.
Lin Tian remained in a coma. The journey had taken too much out of him, and his nerves were on edge with worry for He Qianqian's safety. When he heard that He Qianqian was finally out of danger, his nerves relaxed, and his body could no longer hold up.
...
"Hiss..."
Smelling the pungent disinfectant all around, Lin Tianxia instinctively tried to get up. But as soon as he moved his hand slightly, a wave of intense pain coursed through his body, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air.
Seeing the monotonous white all around him, Lin Tian knew he was still in the hospital. But how could he have fallen asleep here?
His mind was a bit fuzzy, and then he quickly thought of He Qianqian.
"Right, how is Qianqian doing?" Lin Tian was very anxious in his heart. He wanted to get up, eager to know He Qianqian's condition.
Lin Tian's movements woke Bu Mengting, who was by his side. She opened her eyes, saw Lin Tian wake up, and tears immediately flowed out as she laid on top of him, crying, "You finally woke up. You scared me to death. I thought you would never wake up again."
"Hiss..." Bu Mengting's actions caused Lin Tian to inhale sharply again, because she was lying right on top of his injured shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Bu Mengting, hearing Lin Tian's intake of breath, quickly sat up in panic and asked with concern.
"No, nothing's wrong..." Lin Tian's voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke, but the sweat on his forehead made it clear that he was in a lot of pain.
"How is Qianqian? Did she wake up?" Lin Tian asked Bu Mengting, remembering the doctor telling him that she was out of life-threatening danger when He Qianqian was wheeled out of the emergency room.
"Qianqian, Sister Qianqian... Sob, sob..." Bu Mengting, hearing Lin Tian mention He Qianqian, could not help but turn red around the eyes as tears flowed yet again.
Seeing this, Lin Tian became anxious and sat up, grabbing Bu Mengting's hand. However, this action tugged at his wounds and he gasped in pain, asking, "What happened to Qianqian?"
"The doctor said Sister Qianqian has become a vegetable," Bu Mengting said, her eyes red.
"How, how could this be?" Lin Tian replied in disbelief. He slumped on the hospital bed, looking somewhat dejected and asked, "What in the world happened?"
Seeing Lin Tian's dejected appearance, Bu Mengting's heart ached. After she helped him get comfortable, she slowly recounted the events. After Lin Tian had been taken out of the emergency room, Bu Mengting had called him, and the doctor had answered the phone. Upon learning Lin Tian's situation, Bu Mengting immediately rushed to the hospital.
She had learned from the doctor that He Qianqian had become a vegetable.
"How could Qianqian become a vegetable?" Lin Tian said in self-blame.
"The doctor said it's a case of conscious death. It means that Sister Qianqian's consciousness thinks she's dead, so she can't wake up. Medicine can't treat this; it depends on whether Sister Qianqian can walk out of it on her own," Bu Mengting held Lin Tian's hand and explained.
