The next day, Dr. Liu, a dedicated doctor, arrived at his office early in the morning.

I turned on the computer, accessed the medical center, and retrieved Gao Siming's CT images.

After looking at it for a while, Dr. Liu found it a bit strange.

"That's really strange. Why aren't there any lesions shown on the scan? I saw it yesterday, and his symptoms clearly indicate a relapse."

At eight o'clock in the morning, during the routine ward rounds, Dr. Liu was the first to enter Gao Siming's ward.

I did the same thing as yesterday.

The many nurses and Gao Zimin who were following along did not notice anything amiss, but Dr. Liu himself found it even stranger.

Having practiced medicine for so many years, I have encountered several cases of DSTH, and I am naturally very familiar with the recurrence situations.

He came here today specifically to examine Gao Siming again, just to confirm his own thoughts.

Of course, the accurate result will depend on the results of the spinal fluid test later.

Dr. Liu dared not burden his patients with too much psychological pressure, nor would he give them false hopes for the future.

So he told Gao Zimin, "Today's ward round is just a routine check-up. Your brother's results will only be finalized after the spinal fluid test results come out."

After signing the ward round form, Dr. Liu reassured the family, "The family doesn't need to worry too much. Your brother's condition is probably due to the sudden balloon explosion yesterday, and it shouldn't be a big problem."

Having experienced numerous ups and downs over the years, Gao Zimin is much more optimistic today.

"Okay, doctors, thank you!"

After the doctor left, the nurse brought Gao Siming an IV drip and inserted an indwelling needle.

Gao Zimin glanced at it; it was similar to the last medication, mainly consisting of hormones.

It seems my brother's illness has indeed relapsed, but I wonder if it will be as severe as last time.

Presumably due to the anesthesia from yesterday's lumbar puncture, Gao Zimin still sees her younger brother as drowsy and listless today.

Not wanting to disturb Gao Siming, she sat quietly to the side, silently counting the drops of medicine falling from the IV tube.

...

Yesterday during the day, the Anding Division, together with the Nanshan Patrol Guard, conducted a thorough search of the residence of suspect Huang Jun.

As a result, nothing was found except for Huang Jun's tools for selling balloons and his illegally modified hydrogen generator.

When asked, Huang Jun's neighbors said that Huang Jun is usually kind to others, and nothing unusual has happened around him recently.

The source of the concentrated anesthetic seems to be a mystery.

Ultimately, after investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Lovers' Restaurant incident could only be handled as a regular public security case.

Starting from the second day after her admission, Li Nan called Gao Zimin every day to inquire about her condition.

Qin Wen also noticed something unusual in her husband's behavior.

"Old Li, tell me the truth, what's wrong with Brother Gao? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll contact Sister Zi, or we'll go to the hospital to see him!"

Li Nan didn't actually intend to hide this from Qin Wen, so she told her, "Brother Gao is probably stimulated, and his old problem has relapsed."

Is the situation serious?

"I'm not sure. Today is the 19th, and we expect to get the final result tomorrow."

"Didn't you see him the day before yesterday? How does this time compare to the last? What did the doctor say?"

Since it concerned Gao Siming's safety, Qin Wen wasn't afraid of her husband overthinking things, so she asked as many questions as possible.

These past two days, Li Nan hasn't had time to visit the hospital while she's out, but judging from the situation that day, it's hard to say for sure.

"It's about the same as in 2019. This rare disease has a high relapse rate, and even the doctors are a bit unsure."

"Old Li, shall we go see Brother Gao tonight?"

"How about tomorrow? The results will be out tomorrow, and we can go see them then. Otherwise, going today will only cause unnecessary worry!"

"Okay, honey!"

Qin Wen leaned close to Li Nan's chest and said in a rare coquettish tone, "Honey, my feelings for Brother Gao are just friendly concern, please don't overthink it!"

Li Nan hugged Qin Wen tightly, "Silly girl, of course I believe in my wife!"

...

After two whole days of calling out, Sui Wen still didn't respond at all. Compared to his current physical condition, Gao Siming was more concerned about Sui Wen's whereabouts.

No matter what, Sui Wen and I are one, and only with Sui Wen around can Gao Siming's rare disease have a chance to improve!

If Sui Wen really disappears, Gao Siming worries that his condition will continue to worsen, and he will eventually suffer the same fate as other DSTH patients.

Just then, the image of Dog Egg in my mind exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, I've got it!"

What did you discover?

"Brother, do you remember what I said before? You, Sui Wen, and I are like three kingdoms, each occupying a part of our brains."

“Back then, each area we occupied had a different color shining. My brother was white, Sui Wen was black, and I was red.”

"When Sui Wen woke up in the hospital, the blackness had disappeared and he had become transparent. However, there is now a faint pink layer on that spot. Although it is appearing very slowly, it is definitely there!"

Gao Siming had indeed heard Gou Dan say this before, but it was a bit of a pity that it seemed only Gou Dan himself could see or feel this tripartite division of power.

Neither Sui Wen nor the original self could sense Gou Dan's statement.

But would Dog Egg lie to himself?
