Chapter 51: Cheng Xiaoyan is dead
Libido?
I took a deep breath and said, "Doctor, don't talk nonsense. She's still alive, how could she have livor mortis?"
The doctor said this was something she couldn't understand. The little girl was still breathing, but there were corpse spots on her body. It was really unbelievable.
Two doctors nearby also came over and examined Cheng Xiaoyan, confirming that this was the livor mortis!
This time, I was totally confused.
Why is this happening?
Looking at the sleeping Cheng Xiaoyan, her eyelashes trembled slightly and her chest rose and fell with her breathing.
She's still alive!
She is still breathing, her heart is beating, and she has a pulse... She is still young!
I trembled and held her soft and boneless little hand. The dark purple corpse spots on it were clearly visible, like a gloomy scar, mocking my naivety...
It is obvious that the corpse spots appeared recently.
When she was in school, Cheng Xiaoyan either wore short-sleeved shirts or suspenders. Although I didn’t observe her closely at that time, the fact that she could wear these clothes openly was enough to prove that she did not have any corpse spots on her body at that time.
Afterwards, she came to Building D and wore baggy hospital gowns every day. It is hard to say when the corpse spots appeared.
However, the most suspicious person is obviously her grandmother.
Since her grandmother came to Building D, Cheng Xiaoyan has become a different person. She has become silent, worried about death all day long, and afraid of everything...
A horrible thought suddenly popped up in my mind—the corpse spots were left by her grandmother!
Lao He said that the old woman was not a human, nor a ghost, but just a corpse.
She infected Cheng Xiaoyan with the so-called corpse poison.
This is why Cheng Xiaoyan is afraid of glutinous rice!
I began to tremble all over. The more I thought about it, the more possible it seemed. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
What on earth did this damn old woman do to Cheng Xiaoyan?
My thoughts came to an abrupt halt as the ambulance finally arrived at Aiken Hospital.
Medical staff carried a stretcher, rushed into the building, took the elevator, and rushed to the ICU ward.
I instinctively wanted to follow in, but a thin doctor pushed me away and the door of the ICU slammed shut.
Unexpectedly, after just a few minutes, the door opened again.
It was the same thin doctor from before. He was wearing a mask and looked at me coldly. He said, "The girl who was just sent in is a patient from Building D, right?"
I seemed to know what he was going to say, and said in a panic, "Doctor, you must save her!"
"You are the night watchman of Building D. You should understand the rules of Building D. Patients living there have no right to assistance or rescue unless they pay off their medical bills." The doctor frowned and said.
"What do you mean? Human lives are at stake right now, and you're telling me this?" I couldn't control my emotions any longer, and suddenly I yelled excitedly, rushed over, and grabbed the doctor by the collar.
"You...what do you want to do? Let go!" The doctor's face changed and he said nervously.
I stared at him angrily and said through gritted teeth, "I don't ask you to be a kind doctor, nor do I ask you to save the world - I just hope you can think carefully. You are a doctor now, and there is a dying patient waiting for help. Are you going to give up on her?"
"This is the hospital's policy. What can I do?" the doctor said helplessly.
"What a bullshit rule! I'm just asking you one question, but I won't save anyone!"
The rage almost filled my entire chest, and at this point, I was not far from losing control.
That's ridiculous .
How could we not save the patient who was sent to our door?
What about Building D?
Do the people in Building D deserve to die?
I clenched my free hand into a fist, ready to hit him in the face mercilessly if he said "no".
"Zhiyong!"
A scolding voice rang out.
It’s Sister Sun.
She came over in a hurry, grabbed my hand, and said sternly, "Let go! Do you know what you are doing?"
"Sister Sun, he——"
"Do you believe me?"
I let go of their hands dejectedly, as if I felt that everything in the world was filled with powerlessness. I sat down on the ground, looking at them with empty eyes, and my tears gradually blurred my eyes...
"Cough cough cough, Director Sun, you see this guy is really going too far!" The male doctor covered his throat and said angrily.
Sister Sun said nothing, but glanced coldly at the doctor's face.
The doctor took a step back, seeming a little afraid of Sister Sun.
"Perform the operation immediately. If it fails, you will lose your job." Sister Sun said coldly.
When the doctor heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said, "But her condition is very dangerous. Even if we rescue her now, the chance of success is only 10%."
"You know the situation is critical, yet you still have the time to talk nonsense to me!" Sister Sun shouted angrily for the first time.
"Okay, okay, I'll be in right away."
The doctor didn't dare say anything more and rushed into the ICU.
I raised my head blankly and stared at Sister Sun blankly.
Ten percent?
The probability of success is only ten percent?
"Sister Sun, is he...is what he said true?" I said with a trembling voice.
I have never been so afraid of losing someone...
Thinking of the conversation with her at Liuli Mountain, she said that she hoped that one day when she got lost, I could come back and carry her on my back...
But, if she dies, how should I carry her?
A huge feeling of despair surged into my heart.
Sister Sun tried to pull me up, but she was too weak to do anything. She slapped my head in anger and scolded me, "A 10% probability is not a probability? The results haven't come out yet, and you're planning to give up now? What's the difference between you and the doctor just now?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, I can't give up - but what can I do now?"
"Stand up and wipe your tears like a man." Sister Sun's voice softened a little.
I followed her instructions, slowly stood up, wiped my tears, and said, "Sister Sun, thank you so much this time."
"It's not too late to thank me after you save her," said Sister Sun.
The following period of time was a torment that felt like every day was a year.
Time passes by every second.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
The door of the ICU has not been opened yet.
Sister Sun stayed by my side and never left my side. She was like an older sister, constantly comforting and encouraging me.
I feel a little better now.
Gradually , I seem to be able to accept a certain unacceptable reality...
Clang——
The door opened.
Sister Sun and I stood up at the same time and looked at the thin doctor expectantly.
Coming out with him were a few young nurses with gloomy looks.
Seeing their expressions, my heart trembled and I said with difficulty: "Doctor, my friend..."
"I'm sorry, we really tried our best..."
The doctor didn't dare to look me in the eyes and spoke with some guilt.
