Murong Ye and Gong Yu looked at each other hopelessly. Murong Yunxi was the whole world to these two men. At this moment they were feeling both desperate and helpless, as if it were the end of the world.
"Brother, what do you think?" Gong Yu asked Murong Fu, weakly.
"I …What do you think?" Murong Ye had never felt so powerless before, this time he sincerely hoped that someone could make the decision for him.
Brief silence.
Suddenly Murong Yunxi started twitching again. They gathered around Murong Yunxi again.
Gong Yu could see that even Murong Yunxi"s blood veins were twitching. Her snow white skin had turned purple and her veins were bulging. The image was unbearable.
This time the twitching lasted longer. She was suffering every second. It was as if Murong Yunxi"s skinny body was getting electric shocks.
Murong Ye couldn"t bear it anymore and he shouted at Randell,"Go, go get that medicine."
"But we don"t have the medicine now. I"ll call someone at the research center to have it sent here."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Randell finally got the instruction. He left the room to make the call.
Murong Yunxi was quiet now. Not only did the family doctor felt drained, Murong Ye and Gong Yu were also exhausted. They sank to the floor.
They sat on the floor and stared at each other. Gong Yu spoke slowly,"Brother, have you made decided?"
"Now, do we have any better options?" Murong Ye"s voice seemed to put a spell on Gong Yu"s mind. They had no better way now. They could at least try this one.
"Perhaps there is still hope in trying, otherwise we can only watch her die."
"I hope it will work and won"t bring about any sequelae."
"Xiao Xi is such a good girl. It will work."
"Right, she always thinks about others. She cares too little about herself."
"She suffers a lot and it"s time for her to enjoy life. G.o.d will bless her."
"A narrow escape is always followed by great fortune. She has undergone too many miseries. It"s time for her to taste happiness."
"And she still has Niannian. She loves Niannian so much, that she will come back for Niannian."
Their conversation started with talking about how nice Murong Yunxi was. They didn"t talk to each other, but to themselves. Only in this way could they put aside their fears, the fear of losing her. This was also a way to compose themselves so that they wouldn"t let their minds go wild with all sorts of imaginings.
This time the medicine arrived promptly, because Randell had given special orders to dispatch the aeroplane to the research center.
Randell didn"t do this out of his good heart. He, more than anyone else, wished to have the medicine tested on Murong Yunxi, because the result would be an excellent feedback for the research facility. It was also valuable for their next a.n.a.lysis. He hoped that the test could happen and that it could succeed.
Everyone watched Randell inject a vial of the medicine into Murong Yunxi"s veins. Everyone had their hearts in the mouths, and didn"t even dare to blink, in case they missed even one single detail.
After the first vial was administered, Randell stood aside to observe closely if there were any changes in Murong Yunxi"s body.
Murong Ye and Gong Yu were watching closely too. Their heartbeats sounded weird in this quiet room. But they did not notice the sound. They were focused on Murong Yunxi.
Time pa.s.sed. The family doctor took Murong Yunxi"s temperature again, but nothing had changed.
Murong Ye stammered,"How long…do we have to wait?"
"I don"t know. She is our first trial patient." Randell was being honest. What he said was far from rea.s.suring.
A hour pa.s.sed. Everyone had stayed in this position for an hour. They didn"t move a finger or even blinked.
Suddenly Murong Yunxi started having some reaction. But this reaction only freaked both Gong Yu and Murong Ye, out.
Murong Yunxi was starting to vomit blood, dark green blood. They were all horrified by the ghost-like, dark green color.
"What"s wrong? Why is she vomitting blood?" Gong Yu was so nervous that his heart could have popped out.
Gong Yu sat down beside Murong Yunxi"s bed, as he asked this question. He took out his handkerchief and tried to wipe away the blood. But the handkerchief was soaked and the blood seemed to be unstoppable.
"It looks like that her body is detoxifying itself!" Randell said calmly.
"Looks like?" Murong Ye lost his temper again. He glared at Randell with bloodshot eyes and yelled at him.
"I"m sorry. I understand your feelings. But as I said before, we know nothing about this medicine. I have nothing to tell you, but only what my guess is."
"When will the vomitting stop?"
"Until the the color is back to normal."
"Won"t she have a hemorrhage, if she keeps vomitting blood?"
"Perhaps we can give her a blood transfusion. But now the poisonous blood must be detoxed, otherwise the new blood might be polluted."
Murong Yunxi stopped vomitting. Gong Yu walked into the bathroom and wet a towel with warm water. He then cleaned Murong Yunxi"s face and body with the towel.
An hour later, Randell injected the medicine again.
Murong Ye asked, "How many times does the medicine need to be injected?"
Randell replied while he got all the tools sorted out,"Three times, once every hour."
Everyone looked carefully at Murong Yunxi. Half an hour later, she began to vomit blood again, this time more blood, but it was still dark green in color.
Murong Ye glared at Randell again with ghastly, cold eyes,"How come there is no change. It looks like she will bleed to death."
"I"ll have someone deliver a large amount of blood to give her a blood transfusion. Perhaps, perhaps, that would not be any problems." Randell was extremely unconfident. His hands were tied and he didn"t know what would happen to Murong Yunxi. He could only observe. The scary look on Murong Ye"s face made him regret having used this medicine. Murong Ye might kill him if this medicine should fail.
Randell didn"t dare to think or to procrastinate. He hurried to make the call and to arrange for the blood transfusion.
The atmosphere was getting weirder. The family doctor trembled at Murong Ye and Gong Yu"s restlessness. Randell also felt uneasy, for fear that Murong Ye might shoot him.
Murong Yunxi"s breath was weaker and she looked even more pitiful.
A sense of fear spead throughout the room and it got worse as Murong Yunxi vomited blood again.
They feared that Murong Yunxi would be taken away by death at any minute, as if death was waiting by the door.
Ten minutes after the last injection, Murong Yunxi started to vomit again. Blood spurted out from her mouth and her nose. n.o.body dared to calculate how much blood she had lost and no one knew how much more blood she would vomit.
"The blood transfusion?" Murong Ye asked Randell in a cold voice.
"On the way. The helicopter has been sent and it will be arriving soon." Randell was not certain about his answer. But there was nothing else he could say.
After the vomitting, the color was getting better, but it was still mixed with the dark green color. They didn"t know whether the situation was getting better or they were simply comforting themselves. They wished that the dark green would fade away.
Murong Yunxi vomitted twice and after that the blood color went back to normal. But everyone was still in a daze and it seemed that they could still see the dark green color.
The fever was also down, which led them to believe that Murong Yunxi was recovering.
As Murong Yunxi vomitted blood for the last time, her blood color became normal and her body temperature dropped. Her skin turned from gray to pale, sickly pale. Gong Yu and Murong Ye were still very anxious.
At last, Randell set out to transfuse blood into Murong Yunxi. It was only after Gong Yu and Murong Ye saw the fresh red blood, that they began to think that Murong Yunxi was finally being brought back to life.
One blood bag after another. They didn"t know how much blood they had transfused into Murong Yunxi. It seemed that all the blood in her veins came from that transfusion.
The transfusion stopped only after the next day. The fever was gone. Murong Yunxi slept for another two days.
This day, Gong Yu and Murong Ye had stubble on their chins and dark circles under their eyes. They looked at Murong Yunxi.
Murong Yunxi"s eyelids moved suddenly and their throats tightened, They leaned toward Murong Yunxi"s face.
Murong Yunxi"s long eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes.
Murong Ye and Gong Yu smirked with excitement. But their smiles didn"t last long and froze immediately.
