"Okay, don"t make trouble. I didn"t dare to, okay? Let"s discuss it, how about 10 nights a month?"
Ding Ning touched her and took advantage of her, but repeatedly asked for mercy.
"No, up to five nights. You"ve already taken advantage of me."
Ling Yun breathlessly kept a distance from him and seriously considered it. It seemed that she was really afraid to push Ding Ning into the arms of other women, so she reluctantly decided to compromise.
"Deal!"
Ding Ning immediately made a decision and smiled very treacherously. One night and one time were very different. Such a language trap could only fool this stupid, careless girl.
Ling Yun looked at his cunning smile and kept feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn"t figure it out for a while. She impatiently waved her hand and said, "Let"s do that then. I"m going to walk Doudou, will you come along?"
"Hey, you haven"t said what job you want to do. Do you need to walk Doudou? Just open the door, she will walk herself, maybe she can tease a little male dog. After she has played enough, she will come back."
Ding Ning opened the door impatiently and ordered Doudou, "Go, play by yourself and come back later."
"Ruff, ruff!" Doudou barked two times cheerfully and rushed out like a wild horse.
Ling Yun was anxious and said, "What are you doing? If Doudou is lost, my mother will fight with me."
Ding Ning was calm and said with a smile, "Don"t worry, she will not get lost. If she"s lost, I will compensate you with 10 dogs."
"100 dogs would be useless. My mother only wants Doudou. If she gets lost, my mother will definitely kill me. I am going out. If you have something to do, just do it."
Ling Yun did not dare to be careless. She hurriedly ran out to chase after Doudou.
Ding Ning helplessly shrugged his shoulders. He could not tell her that Doudou was his pet with intelligence. It was too fantastical.
All right, he could take this opportunity to visit Xiao Nuo and take the wallet back in pa.s.sing. He shouted at Ling Yun"s back, "Did you bring the key? I will lock the door."
"Yes, I did. Lock the door."
Ling Yun answered from far away. She ran after Doudou, who was running everywhere, and was not in the mood to take care of him.
"Then I"ll go. I will come to see you in the afternoon."
Ding Ning closed the door and waved his hand. He stopped a car and went directly to the Military Hospital.
"Are you stupid? How can you tell the truth to Nuonuo? Do you want her to die?"
In Xiao Nuo"s ward, everyone was gloomy. Meng Wanrong"s tears flowed and she looked at Xiao Nuo, who was pale and unconscious. Xiao Baiyu was downcast and silent.
Mr. Xiao Dingshan was so angry that he shivered. His face was livid and he glared at Xiaoyao and asked him.
"I... I didn"t know that Sister Nuo would be like this. I was wrong. I shouldn"t have told Sister Nuo about Ding Ning"s situation, which provoked her."
Xiaoyao was fl.u.s.tered and grabbed her clothes, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong, and her tears fell.
Huzi and Mosquito did not even dare to breathe loudly. They stood at the side of Xiaoyao in fear and wanted to comfort her but did not know what to say.
"Dad, don"t blame Yao. You know the character of Nuonuo. As long as she revives, she will definitely interrogate her about Ding Ning"s situation."
Xiao Baiyu was a little embarra.s.sed and tried to persuade Xiao Dingshan.
Mr. Xiao also realized that he was too critical. His look relaxed as he feebly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Yao, I was anxious. I should not blame you. Don"t blame yourself. Nuonuo was destined to have this accident."
He turned around to look at Executive Lu of the Military Hospital and politely asked, "Executive Lu, is there any good method for Nuonuo"s situation?"
Executive Lu was embarra.s.sed and cautiously answered, "Mr. Xiao, we have done a detailed general check-up on Miss Xiao. Each of her bodily functions is working normally and the brain waves are normal, which indicates that she has her own consciousness. Excluding the possibility of a coma caused by organic lesions or other complications, we a.n.a.lyzed that she is likely to subconsciously want to escape from reality and not want to revive. We have no good methods for this situation. She can only revive by using her own will."
"You mean, Nuonuo is not willing to revive?"
Meng Wanrong wiped her tears and asked in disbelief.
"Yes!"
Executive Lu nodded affirmatively and said with a serious look, "We have encountered this kind of case in the past. The patient gets strongly stimulated or hit so that he will have a feeling of escaping in his subconsciousness and then will live in a self-woven fantasy. In general terms, it means that he has a will to die and is not willing to face reality."
"You mean that Nuonuo wants to die? That"s impossible. You must have diagnosed it wrong. How can Nuonuo take things so hard? What hospital is this? Do you have any qualifications? You are a bunch of quacks..."
Meng Wanrong had lost the unhurried elegance she had before. She roared with red eyes like a wounded female animal. If Xiao Baiyu didn"t hug her in time and cover her mouth, who knew what kind of abuses she would have hurled?
Executive Lu was embarra.s.sed. Although he had met a patient"s family that pestered him endlessly before, as an executive, he had never faced this kind of situation before. Now he finally realized how helpless his subordinate doctors were when they faced medical troubles.
That was especially true at the moment, when a group of senior members of the committee and experts from various departments were standing behind him, which made him more ashamed.
According to his previous temperament, he would have just left and let his subordinates deal with it. But he did not dare to leave. Mr. Xiao used to be the second in command of the military, so he was paramount and powerful.
Although he had retired from a leading post, he had an unparalleled influence in the military. If he could not handle it well, he would no longer be the executive of the Military Hospital.
Mr. Xiao was thoughtful. He showed a serious face and reproached her. "Wanrong, calm down. We must respect medicine. Don"t pester them endlessly."
The majesty of the old man had long been ingrained. Hearing that he was angry, Meng Wanrong immediately dared not make any trouble and sobbed in Xiao Baiyu"s arms.
"Executive Lu, sorry to make trouble for you. Don"t blame her. She lost her ability to reason due to being so concerned. Don"t take her nonsense to heart. I apologize to you for her."
Mr. Xiao sincerely bowed to Executive Lu to apologize.
"It"s okay, it"s okay. Mr. Xiao, you... you make this difficult to bear. I can"t endure it."
Executive Lu felt extremely flattered and said, "It"s okay," again and again. He wanted to stop Mr. Xiao but did not dare approach him. He could only blush and bend down to bow to him. The scene was like a couple bowing to each other. If everyone"s mood was not so heavy, they would have laughed at it.
Mr. Xiao stood up and said with a serious look, "Executive Lu, you have encountered and have a lot of knowledge in the Military Hospital. You should have been exposed to such patients before. Tell me the truth, is there any way to handle such a case?"
Executive Lu hesitated. Seeing that Meng Wanrong also looked at him full of expectation, he quietly organized his words and thoughts and said, "Such a situation is worrisome, all treatments are ineffective. We can do nothing about it. But that doesn"t mean there is absolutely no way. As the saying goes, it"s better for the doer to undo what he has done. If her family knows the cause of her worry, that is the best. Having the person who causes her worry pour out to her may be able to wake her up."
Mr. Xiao"s face showed disappointment. He believed that the doctor"s diagnosis was not wrong. It was definitely Ding Ning who had caused Xiao Nuo to be unwilling to revive.
But the problem was that two days had pa.s.sed, and they searched in all of Hengyun Mountain and there was still no trace of Ding Ning.
In this case, although the search had not been abandoned, everyone knew that even if he could be found, the best result was nothing more than finding an incomplete corpse that was bitten by the black panther.
The chances of his survival were almost zero, which meant that Xiao Nuo had almost no possibility of waking up.
This made him be unable to accept it. It seemed as if he had immediately aged decades. His straight body stooped and he was unwilling to accept it as he asked, "Isn"t there any other way?"
Looking at the respected old man, who had spent his whole life in the military, Executive Lu shook his head in silence and lowered his head shamefully.
"If you can find the person, maybe he can try it."
At the edge of the expert crowd, a timid voice sounded and caught everyone"s attention.
"Who are you talking about? Where is he?"
Mr. Xiao"s eyes were bright and his turbid old eyes burst with light. He excitedly looked at the middle-aged doctor.
Xiao Baiyu and the others also looked at this middle-aged doctor, who was brave to speak.
"He is a young traditional-Chinese-medicine physician and his medical skills are extremely magical. I dare not say that he is definitely able to awaken the patient. But I believe that if he has no method, no doctor in the world can wake the patient up."
Han Xi was courageous to speak resolutely and decisively, ignoring the doubtful eyes of the surrounding leaders of the hospital. He highly respected Ding Ning from his heart.
"Where is he? Can you contact him? Right, what"s your surname? Could you please contact him? No matter what conditions he puts forward, as long as he can wake up Nuonuo, I promise him."
Mr. Xiao excitedly made a promise.
"My surname is Han. I will contact him now. I don"t know where he is. Right, Captain Xiao is also very familiar with him. He is Ding Ning. We have been to Diannan together. I believe as long as he knows that Captain Xiao is injured, he will definitely come immediately."
Han Xi had not figured out the situation. He took out his phone and started to call Ding Ning.
"Ding Ning?" He was talking about Ding Ning. Everyone lost their spirit like a deflated ball.
Mr. Xiao feebly waved his hand and said, "If you are talking about Ding Ning, forget it, he..."
"h.e.l.lo! Doctor Han, I was trying to contact you. I didn"t expect that you"d call me."
Han Xi quickly covered the phone and looked at Mr. Xiao with doubt and said, "I have already contacted him. Should I call him?"
Xiao Baiyu was excited and stepped forward and said, "Call him. Quickly. Put it on speaker-phone!"
Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Baiyu with doubts. "Was this Ding Ning another person? Not that Ding Ning."
Han Xi confusedly used speaker-phone and asked, "Doctor Ding, where are you?"
Ding Ning"s clear voice came from over the phone. "I am at your hospital. I want to ask you about something. Xiao Nuo, Captain Xiao, in which ward is she staying? I have not found her."
Han Xi covered the microphone and asked Mr. Xiao, "He is in the hospital and is coming to visit Captain Xiao. Should I tell him which ward?"
"Wait, are you sure he is Ding Ning?"
Xiao Baiyu"s eyes were red. Ding Ning had not died and had come to the hospital to visit Xiao Nuo, which made him feel it a little ridiculous. It didn"t make sense.
"Even if Ding Ning didn"t die, he must have been seriously injured. Is this someone who is masquerading as him? What conspiracy is in this?" His occupational sensitivity made him vigilant.
Xiaoyao"s eyes were bright. She suddenly covered her mouth and her tears flowed immediately. She shouted incoherently, "I know him, I remember his voice. It is him, Ding Ning. He is not dead, he is not dead. Sister Nuo can be saved. This is great, it"s great..."
