“There shouldn’t be any problems for now.” Zheng Ren and Wen xiaonuan said.
Wen xiaonuan held little stone’s hand and lifted her head slightly to look at Zheng Ren. There were tears in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything.
“If there’s no change in the situation, three days later … We’ll just observe first.” Zheng Ren pursed his lips and patted little stone’s hand.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Zheng Ren felt little stone’s hand move at that moment.
It was as if the timeline had been pulled back to the day when the two of them had a long conversation. Zheng Ren felt that little stone was about to bump fists with him.
Upon closer inspection, he was lying quietly on the bed. Only the sound of the ventilator operating could be heard, making the ward even colder.
The after-effects of using the eye of truth were getting worse. Zheng Ren sighed. If she kept hallucinating, what would she do when she had to perform surgery in the future?
“I’ll go and study the recent situation. ” Zheng Ren said softly to Wen xiaonuan, then turned around and left.
Just as he walked out of the house, Wen xiaonuan’s voice came from behind.
“Doctor Zheng!”
Her voice wasn’t loud, as if she was afraid of disturbing little stone’s sleep. Even her footsteps were light.
“What?” Zheng Ren turned around.
Wen xiaonuan quickly walked out of the ward. She had so many things she wanted to say, but she didn’t know what to say or how to say them.
Looking at Wen xiaonuan’s expression, Zheng Ren smiled.”I will try my best.”
Wen xiaonuan used her hand to push back the loose strands of hair on her face and by her ears, and gave a deep bow.
Many patients and their family members had expressed their gratitude, and Zheng Ren had seen it many times. However, at this moment, his heart was struck by Wen xiaonuan’s actions, and he was stunned.
“Doctor Zheng, you’ve worked hard.” Wen xiaonuan said softly.
“You’re welcome,” Zheng Ren said,”the next step of the treatment … To be honest, I haven’t counted it yet.”
“Can little stone wake up?” Wen xiaonuan tried her best to speak in a calm tone, as if she didn’t want to put too much pressure on Zheng Ren.
“There shouldn’t be a problem.”
Wen xiaonuan nodded and forced a smile, saying,””Then I’ll go back. I’m worried that he’ll be scared when I’m not around.”
“Go on, talk to him more.” Zheng Ren said,”I’m going to organize the documents. Let’s take turns to accompany him.”
With that, Zheng Ren turned around and left.
He felt that he was too weak. It might be another side effect of using the eye of truth. His mental state was average. At this time, he should keep calm and think about his future path from the most objective point of view.
With Dr. Carl’s help, Zheng Ren sorted out all the information about Little Rock and prepared to do the analysis.
He sent a few messages to Yiren to inform her that he was safe and asked about the situation at Su Yun’s house. This attempt had left a deep impression on Zheng Ren.
Little Rock was just a branch of the disease of mucus overflow, and his energy points were already insufficient. What if it was the disease described in the strange handwriting on old Roche and Christian’s system panels?
Even 10,000 points of energy would not be enough.
The deadline of 30 years was still a little short. The details would still depend on the big pig trotters.
Yiren didn’t know what Zheng Ren had encountered on this side. She told Zheng Ren to eat well and not have low blood sugar.
Su Yun said that she had already appeased old Lochte and Christian, and they were waiting for Zheng Ren to return. She also asked him when he would return.
When it came to the time, Zheng Ren couldn’t decide. He also told everyone in the group chat that he might be away for a few days and that the surgery had to be done steadily. If there were any special situations, he would ask Su Yun to solve it.
After he quieted down, Zheng Ren touched his ‘young white hair’ and smiled helplessly. He had always laughed at Liu Zewei. He didn’t expect that he would be troubled by his hair so soon.
It seemed that only his hair had changed, but his body did not feel anything. It was also not like the first time he used the eye of truth, where he had fainted for a long time. This time, he woke up full of energy, as if nothing had happened.
Only when she looked into the mirror in the changing room and saw that half of her hair had turned white did she know that there were still changes.
Zheng Ren sighed softly as he flipped through Little Rock’s medical records.
To be honest, he had almost memorized this case by heart. He knew what happened every day and every hour, as well as the changes in the data.
“What should I study?” Zheng Ren suddenly felt a little lost.
As a clinician, little stone did not need any treatment at this point. Through surgery and medication, his life was extended by a few months, but that was all.
He sat in front of the table and read the introduction of the illness, recalling the subsequent treatment plan. However, he couldn’t recall anything when he saw the follow-up healers with his eyes of truth.
The system library had already lost its function. Now, every step he took would be a top-tier sci article as long as he wrote it, which could be used as a reference for others.
There was no road ahead, but with more people walking, there was a road. Zheng Ren was used to walking the path that others had walked before, but this time, he was really lost.
Technology was secondary. Gradually, Zheng Ren knew what he was hesitating about.
When Zheng Ren saw little stone, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart when he saw that he had lost even more weight.
Although he had had a long talk with Little Rock once, there was a 50% chance of it happening. He would do it twice! These words still echoed in his ears from time to time.
But did he really have to continue? It was time to let go and suffer less. It should be a good choice.
All sorts of thoughts were tangled and colliding in his mind. Zheng Ren did not know what to do.
Time passed by slowly, and the night grew darker. Zheng Ren could not figure it out, so he simply picked up all the documents and went to the ward.
After replacing Wen xiaonuan and letting her rest, Zheng Ren sat in front of little stone’s bed.
The child had lost a lot of weight. Lying on the bed, his chest rose and fell with the rhythm of the ventilator. His blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse were still stable.
Zheng Ren looked at it quietly for a few minutes, then said softly,””Little stone, do you think we should continue with the treatment?”
His voice was very calm when he spoke, as if little stone could hear him. The two of them sat opposite each other and communicated calmly.
“I think you’re suffering too much now. You shouldn’t have to bear all this. Is it tiring to live?”
“In fact, death is sometimes a form of release. People are all after profit. If the benefits aren’t big enough, there’s no need to do anything. “
“You’re working so hard to live, it’s very uncomfortable. I know that you took a lot of breath before you got on the ventilator, but you just couldn’t breathe in oxygen. At that time, you must have felt very desperate. “
“Should we continue? To be honest, even if you were not breathing and your lungs had stopped working, you could still live for at least a month with ECMO. However, I’m not sure if you want to live. “
“Su Yun is right, I’m still a coward. I’ll leave this question to you, okay? when you wake up, tell me the answer. “
Zheng Ren’s voice became softer and softer, as if he was singing a basketball song to coax little stone to sleep.
