Chapter 129?Part 1 – The Will

{This chapter is split into two as more than 6000 characters.}

After all, Lian Qiao was young and had a good physique. Although he had a high fever for a few days after the splenectomy, he survived after taking a bunch of advanced antibiotics.

Apart from the fact that he had lost weight and had a large scar on his stomach, he looked like a normal person—or rather, pretended to be a normal person.

He tried to show that he was in good shape and finally got his mother’s approval to allow him to sit beside the RenDong bed to accompany him instead of being locked in his own hospital bed.

These days, it was all he thought about day and night: wanting to see RenDong across the bed. At this time, he finally saw him but his heart was twisted into a ball.

RenDong’s operation was very successful but it did not change the fact that he was seriously ill. Xu RenDong, who returned to the ICU, had also developed a high fever. He had used all the medicines he could use, but his body temperature was still uncontrollable, hovering around 40 degrees. Lian Qiao’s mother guessed that it was a central fever, so she put an ice blanket machine on him.

The working principle of the ice blanket machine was very simple. It was a blanket placed under the body. Once the temperature rise is detected, it will automatically cool down and physically cool down the body.

This is to avoid burning out the brain due to high heat.

Although the cooling effect of the ice blanket machine was good, the problem was that it was too icy. From time to time, Lian Qiao stretched out his hands to RenDong’s back, touching his ice-like back and was always worried that he would suffer from the root cause of back pain. Fortunately, as time passed, the treatment gradually became effective, the number of RenDong’s? fevers decreased and the working frequency of the ice blanket machine became lower and lower.

But RenDong never woke up.

Lian Qiao’s mother said that it was because the injury was too severe and the internal environment of the body was out of balance and he had not yet recovered. Therefore, his heartbeat has been very fast, so fast that people worry that his heart will burst from fatigue in the next second; his lung function was also extremely poor and he can’t do without a ventilator. After a long time, he would develop pneumonia. The overall situation was not very good.

RenDong wouldn’t be able to get out of the ICU within a short period of time but Lian Qiao recovered steadily day by day. So he dragged a pipe and stayed by RenDong’s bedside, acting as a full-time escort.

After all, Lian Qiao was considered an ICU patient and it was really outrageous to let a patient accompany another patient. Fortunately, Lian Qiao’s parents are from the hospital and Lian Qiao’s mother said, “Ignore him and let him do what he wants, he is in atonement.” Since his mother already said this, what else can others say?

So Lian Qiao just took care of his own injuries while accompanying RenDong to heal his injuries.

Time flew by.

During this time in the ICU, Lian Qiao has fully seen how they treat patients. It’s not to say that patients are not respected. Some medical operations really are not conducive to being respectful.

For example, nurses turn patients over every day to check for bedsores.

The so-called bedsores are when the muscles and bones press against each other after being in bed for a long time, causing local skin damage. Because the nutritional status of bedridden patients is not very good, in the case of bedsores, it will be difficult to heal, and in severe cases, it will even rot into the bones. Therefore, as long as there are conditions, the patient must be turned over frequently to avoid long-term compression in the same place, affecting their blood supply.

The most likely place for bedsores is, of course, the buttocks.

At the beginning, Lian Qiao felt that it was a very obscene thing to look at people’s butts every day. Under the repeated bombardment of his own mother and nurses, Lian Qiao also began to gradually accept the nursing routine of the ICU and cooperated with the nurses to turn over.

RenDong lay in the ICU for more than a month, but his ass was still as smooth as ever, with no red marks at all. Even the head nurse praised Lian Qiao for taking care of his well, which reduced a lot of pain for RenDong.

Turning him over was actually fine, but what bothered Lian Qiao the most was another daily check: the GSC score.

This is a score for the state of consciousness of a comatose patient, involving items such as whether they can respond, whether they can cooperate with opening eyes, whether there is a pain response, and so on. The unconscious RenDong was naturally unable to respond and open his eyes. As for the pain response..

They actually had to pinch the nipples! It is said that it is more sensitive to pain here, so..

Lian Qiao’s eyes almost popped out the first time he saw the nurse make this move. After the head nurse finished pinching one then the other, she also invited everyone to come and pinch together to see the symmetry and asymmetry of the response.

Lian Qiao only felt that RenDong’s little head was about to be swollen by them and was distressed. The head nurse said again with a smile: “When you were in a coma, we also pinched you like this.”

Lian Qiao: “..”

ICU patients really have no human rights!

Although there were no human rights, it is true that ICU provides the best possible care. Lian Qiao saw that RenDong’s condition was getting better day by day and the consciousness score climbed higher. From the initial lack of response, to the moment when the eyeballs can move under the eyelids and finally he can snort vaguely, Lian Qiao’s heart was akin to the rejuvenation of the earth, his temperature has gradually recovered and a smile finally grew on his face.

Lian Qiao’s mother looked at him and shook his head.

Alas, this kid really likes him.

Lian Qiao, regardless of himself, was someone who had undergone major surgery and stayed by the bedside of RenDong day and night. On the one hand, it was to escort him, and on the other hand, he was afraid of RenDong ending up in the elevator and wanted to go in with him.

After a long, long time, RenDong finally opened his eyes.

Lian Qiao was so moved that he announced on the spot that he would fast and pray to Buddha, and was beaten by his biological parents. Although RenDong woke up, his physical condition was still very poor. He was transferred to the general ward and stayed for a long time before being discharged.

Lian Qiao was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers but his parents were very calm. After all, they had expected this result long ago, and the release of RenDong from the hospital was considered a psychological burden for them.

They always feel guilty about RenDong in their hearts. After all, RenDong fell from the building to save their bastard son. In the end, the brat just had a spleen cut off but RenDong jumped across the gates of hell repeatedly, tossing for more than two months.

Fortunately, in the end, RenDong was cured and discharged from the hospital. If something happened to RenDong, Lian Qiao and his parents didn’t know how to atone for their sins – even worse, they didn’t even know who to atone for their sins to.

Ai. RenDong is so pitiful. Not only did he have no father or mother, but he was also bullied by their pig son.

It was so pitiful!

Due to the long-term bed rest, RenDong’s muscles have greatly atrophied and his whole person was thin and out of shape, like a skeleton. Lian Qiao could not wait to carry his princess upstairs and only gave up after RenDong’s stern refusal.

They went back to Lian Qiao’s house. It was a working day and Lian Qiao’s parents couldn’t leave, so they sent them to the door of the hospital. After seeing them get in the car, they went back to their respective departments and busied themselves. At this time, the house was empty.

For the past two months, it was not only Lian Qiao who has not returned home even a day. Lian Qiao’s parents often spent their days and nights in the ICU, so this house was not occupied for long stretches of time. The furniture, tables and chairs were cold. However, in order to welcome the RenDong, they had already invited someone over to their house to clean it in advance and fresh vegetables and fruits were also prepared in the refrigerator, just waiting for the RenDong to come home and enjoy life.

Lian Qiao helped him into the room, treating him tenderly as if he were afraid of his melting and falling. RenDong was not used to being treated like this and told him to go do his own thing. Lian Qiao said, with a smile, that serving you is the only thing I have to do now.

RenDong asked: “What about your live broadcast room?”

Lian Qiao: “The contract with the platform has been terminated.”

Although RenDong had expected it, he still frowned slightly. Lian Qiao hurriedly said: “I’m not canceling the contract just for you. Don’t we still have an instance that we haven’t finished playing? I don’t have the heart to broadcast at this time. Let’s talk about it when the dust has settled.”

RenDong was silent for a moment and then suddenly laughed.

“Actually, I also resigned.”

Lian Qiao said, “I know. The leader of your company has visited you. He also asked me when you will be better and whether you are willing to return to their company.”

RenDong was noncommittal, just smiled and said: “Oops, so both of us are homeless now. I’m going to have to trouble your parents.”

“No trouble, no trouble, I have enough money saved.” In order to reassure him, Lian Qiao took out his mobile phone and opened the balance on the spot to show him, “Look, count, there are so many zeros! I’m rich, don’t worry!”

This way of coaxing people can be said to be very straightforward.

RenDong’s heart softened into a pool of water and there was nothing to say for a while, so he pulled Lian Qiao’s sleeve and said, “Hug me.”

Lian Qiao was hooked by these words, X fire suddenly came up and he threw himself on the bed like a hungry tiger. But he was afraid of hurting RenDong so he moved to his side with extreme caution. He gently covered him with a soft quilt before taking him into his arms.

RenDong struggled with little strength but couldn’t break free. He was wrapped in the quilt and muttered: “I don’t want to be separated by the blanket..”

Lian Qiao was stunned, then coughed awkwardly: “I’m used to aseptic operation, before touching you. I want you to be safe and isolated..” He lifted the quilt and got into the quilt, hugged RenDong in his arms and carefully tucked the edges of the quilt down, for fear of a cold wind getting in.

From his almost paranoid cautiousness, RenDong felt his worries and unease from these days. His heart was like a hot water bag, very warm. RenDong buried his head in his chest, feeling his breath for a long time,and suddenly wanted to tell him that he could actually hear the sounds around him.

He heard Lian Qiao repeating everyday, like a machine, “When will he wake up?” He heard the doctor yelling and giving orders to other patients during the rescue. He heard Lian Qiao’s mother say “Give him a shot, drag him over to this bed and don’t let him sleep here”, and he heard Lian Qiao’s father angrily scolding Lian Qiao, “What’s the use of knowing what’s wrong now, when he wakes up, kneel down and apologize to him.”

Although he couldn’t feel his body, he knew from Lian Qiao’s ramblings how many tubes of blood had been drawn from him that day, how many needles had been stabbed into him. He knew that Lian Qiao would turn him over and massage him every day to avoid bedsores and muscle atrophy as much as possible. He even vaguely felt that when his heart stopped beating again that Lian Qiao and other doctors came to give him chest compressions, and there seemed to be hot tears falling onto his chest.
