The two of them did not speak to each other in the elevator, as if they were strangers.
Zuo Weiyi had her eyes lowered, so she did not notice the sudden smile on Xiao Yayue’s face. There was also a flash of viciousness in her brown eyes.
On the ninth floor, the elevator door opened. Xiao Yayue walked out arrogantly in her high heels.
As for Zuo Weiyi, she only walked out of the elevator when she reached the 10th floor.
When she arrived at the door of Shen Lanzhi’s ward, she looked through the glass window and confirmed that there was no one inside.
Thus, she pushed the door open and entered.
She walked to the front of the bed and looked at Shen Lanzhi who was lying on the bed. Although her face was a little pale, it looked so kind and gentle. Anyone would pity her if they looked at her right now.
It was 7:40 in the morning.
After glancing at Shen Lanzhi lying on the bed, Zuo Weiyi walked to the washroom specially set up in the hospital room, took out a basin, and fetched some hot water.
She soaked the towel in warm water, then wrung it dry. She wiped Shen Lanzhi’s face, then her hands and feet. Her movements were extremely gentle.
Shi Yuting returned from the attending physician’s place. When he walked to the door of the hospital room, he found that the door was half-closed. He frowned and looked through the glass window. He saw that familiar figure sitting by the bedside, wiping his mom’s hands and feet.
His heart trembled slightly, and it stung a little.
The cell phone in his arms rang. He glanced at the ward, then walked to a corner and picked up the phone.
After wiping Shen Lanzhi’s body, Zuo Weiyi put the basin and towel away. Then, she walked out and covered Shen Lanzhi with a blanket. She glanced at her and finally turned to leave the ward.
Shi Yuting finished his call and came back. The figure in the ward had already disappeared.
He stood where he was and looked at his mom on the bed. Finally, he turned around and left as well.
…
After asking a few nurses, Zuo Weiyi found Shen Lanzhi’s attending doctor.
When she entered the office, the Doctor stood up.
“Young Madam Shi.”
Hearing this address, Zuo Weiyi paused for a moment, as if she was still not used to it. However, she did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, she looked at the doctor and asked, “What is the best way to wake my mother up?”
The doctor paused for a moment before he frowned. “The way to wake her up?”
“Yes.”
The doctor looked at Zuo Weiyi and did not know what she meant.
It was important to know that though Madam Shi was considered brain dead, her heart was still beating. However, unlike being in a vegetative state, she had too small of a chance of waking up.
So, what exactly did Young Madam Shi want to do then?
“Young Madam Shi, I had already told you yesterday that Madam Shi has a very tiny chance of waking up-”
“1 in 100,000, I know.” Before the Doctor could finish speaking, Zuo Weiyi spoke first.
The doctor was taken aback.
If she knew that it was 1 in 100,000, then why did she still come to ask for his method of waking up?
The doctor looked at her and said, a little confusedly, “Then you…”
Zuo Weiyi looked up and her pitch-black pupils seemed to be shining with an impossible hope.
“I want that 1 in 100,000.”
The doctor was shocked again at her response. “You mean… you want to wake Madam Shi?”
1 in 100,000? How was this possible!!
The doctor felt that this was simply wishful thinking and that she was being too naive.
“Young Madam Shi, I know how you feel, but…” the doctor could not help but sigh. “If you want to wake a person who is in a condition that is worse than a vegetable, I think you should just give up.”
