Chapter 53 Is it a dream?
Linuo was sent to the operating room and stared at the shadowless light above him in a daze. The nurses undressed him and restrained his hands and feet to prevent him from moving around during the operation. He felt a slight pain in his ankle and saw out of the corner of his eye that the IV stand was moved there.
The surgeon in charge was He Yan. At the moment, he was wearing a mask and a green surgical gown, with only his eyes exposed as he looked into Li Nuo's eyes.
Noticing the look Li Nuo was giving him, He Yan's eyes narrowed, "It will be over once you wake up, don't worry."
His comforting words made Linuo nod his head. The anesthetic began to take effect, and in the blink of an eye, he lost consciousness.
.........
Linuo raised his eyelids with great effort. He couldn't determine his position, but his blurry vision soon became clear.
“It’s the ward.”
The next second, he felt something was wrong. This was not the ward he had been staying in recently, nor was it the one before, but somewhere else.
The layout and structure were all different, but somehow I felt very familiar with it. I knew this was a ward, as if I had stayed here for a long time.
He turned his head and tried to look around, but his body was still unable to move and he could only use his eyes to see.
Are you dreaming?
Did you have this dream while sleeping under anesthesia? But you were conscious.
All Linuo could do was wait to wake up, but he heard footsteps and someone was approaching the bed.
The doctor in a white coat had a blurry face and only his mouth could be seen moving, so he must be talking.
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you."
His gaze slowly moved downwards. On the familiar white hospital blanket was a skinny hand. Whose hand was it?
Ah, it's mine.
This is my real body.
When he realized this, his vision began to spin and his consciousness felt like it was put into a washing machine. The upheaval made him almost vomit.
The next second, he woke up from his dream.
Li Nuo opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling. Everything in his dream was quickly forgotten, leaving only faint traces of memory.
He moved his head and saw Li Yan lying on the side of the bed. He wanted to call Li Yan, but the breathing mask was still on his face and the heart rate monitor clip was on his finger.
His consciousness was still a little fuzzy, and Li Nuo stared at the ceiling, feeling sleepy again.
But Li Yan suddenly jumped up, and this action broke Li Nuo's sleepiness.
Li Yan stood up and met his brother's gaze. He immediately looked at the machine, which showed that his heart rate was very stable.
He immediately pressed the call button. Although he was worried, he was glad that his brother woke up so quickly.
Li Nuo looked at his anxious face and tried her best to smile to comfort him.
He Yan rushed over with the nurses and examined him carefully. "The situation is better than I thought. You woke up so quickly. I thought you would have to sleep for at least a few more days."
Li Nuo forced a weak smile. He didn't have the strength to speak. After the examination, the quiet ward finally made him sleepy.
He closed his eyelids again.
In fact, the operation was very successful. Li Nuo stayed in the intensive care unit for a day and was transferred to his own ward where he was in a coma for two days before waking up once.
Mo Chuan and Qin Xu came several times, but Li Nuo was still asleep.
Li Nuo's recovery was faster than expected. He basically did whatever the doctor told him to do. Of course, Li Yan's careful care also helped a lot.
In order to allow the wound to heal better, Li Nuo tried not to do unnecessary activities. He had an IV drip on his hand and did not cry out in pain even though it turned purple. Although the medicine was bitter, he still took it all.
He Yan tried to be as gentle as possible, but without anesthesia, it was still painful to use disinfectant directly on the wound that had not yet healed. Li Nuo clenched his teeth and broke out in a cold sweat. What was worse was that this process happened several times in the early stages of recovery.
After I got through it, the wound healed well.
Li Nuo leaned on the bed, staring blankly at the wound on his chest.
"What are you looking at?" He Yan was very curious when he saw his silly expression.
"I think the human body is really amazing..."
The wound on Li Nuo's chest has begun to heal. The light yellow disinfectant has concealed his original skin color, almost marinating his entire body.
The wound from being cut open had begun to heal, and he felt that breathing was not as painful as before.
He Yan smiled and put the gauze back on. "It's been a long time. You must have been taking painkillers in the past few days. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bear the pain of changing the dressing and cleaning the wound. You might have fainted from the pain."
Li Nuo shuddered. After he stopped taking the painkillers, changing the dressing was still very painful. He could imagine how painful it was before.
He Yan touched his head and said, "You still have to be careful, because you are very weak and you lost a lot of blood in the previous surgery. You have to take the medicine I prescribed for you and be more proactive in the follow-up examinations."
Hearing what He Yan said, Li Nuo nodded. Having suffered so much, he would take good care of his body.
Seeing his serious expression, He Yan smiled, "Just be careful, and don't be too timid, otherwise the surgery will be in vain. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital immediately, the nearest one will do, and then call me. After emergency treatment, you will be transferred here."
He Yan continued to touch his head, "Hey, you washed your hair."
"Ah, I really can't help it," Li Nuo pouted, "My hair is so itchy."
There was no way to clean my body after the operation because the wound could not come into contact with water, and I couldn't move at first, so I could only wipe it with water.
Li Yan also started working a few days ago. He had no choice but to hire a nurse. He lay flat on his back and let the nurse wash his hair for him.
If he doesn't wash, he really feels like he's going to stink.
It was a week after the operation that he was able to slowly get up. Without Li Yan's help, it would have been difficult for him to even walk.
After all, the wound is very large and important.
Thinking back, Li Nuo glanced at the flashing pager in He Yan's pocket and said, "Brother He, go and do your work. Brother Da Wen will be here soon."
In the past few days, he has become a little more familiar with the nurse.
"Okay, you should be careful," He Yan glanced at the books on the bedside table, "Although reading is good, if you feel tired, stop immediately. Don't let this fatigue hurt your mind."
"Yeah, I see."
After He Yan left, the ward fell into silence.
Linuo, who was lying on the bed, moved his body. The pain in his chest made him grimace, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Shh, this is really painful."
He turned to look at the books. They were actually daily reading materials that Li Yan bought for him to kill time. After all, he couldn't play with his phone all the time.
Li Nuo actually only read a little bit, after all, his hands would get sore from holding the book all the time. "Looking back, it seems that I haven't read online novels since I came to this world."
After being there, I was nervous at first and didn't have the heart to do it, but now I have no interest in it at all.
When he was bored, Li Yan called.
"Brother, what are you doing? Have you had dinner?"
"We've eaten. Da Wen hasn't come yet, but he should be here soon. It's almost time."
"Well, don't play with your phone all the time. It's bad for your eyes."
"I didn't. I've been taking a good rest."
"That's fine, brother. Don't forget to get up and walk around today."
"Well, aren't you coming over today?"
"Did you forget? I have to go back today and the house needs cleaning."
"Oh, yes."
This is the first time Li Yan has returned home since Li Nuo was hospitalized. The house cannot be left empty all the time, otherwise it will soon be covered with dust.
"That's it, then. Remember to finish your meal when you get home, and don't just focus on cleaning."
"I understand. I won't let you worry. If you have any questions, call me immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Li Nuo held the phone and continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
Brother Da Wen hasn't arrived yet and I have no one to talk to, so I'm feeling very bored.
He rolled his eyes and heard the sound of the ward door opening.
It must be Brother Da Wen. He turned his head and confirmed the visitor.
It was Mo Chuan who opened the door of the ward.
"Why?"
"The greeting shouldn't be 'hey'."
"I'm a little surprised that you come at this time, as you just got off work not long ago," Li Nuo greeted the visitor with a smile. He had always come with Li Yan before, and this was the first time he saw him alone.
He stretched his head and looked behind Mo Chuan, "Are you alone?"
"Yes, I heard that Secretary Li was going home today, so I came here."
"It must be boring for you to stay here alone." Mo Chuan took the flowers out of the vase and replaced them with the new ones he had brought.
“It hasn’t withered yet.”
"Then I'll bring a vase next time and put an extra bouquet."
"What is that?"
Under the cover of flowers, Mo Chuan was holding a bag in his hand.
"You can use a laptop to play with when you're bored, but it's a little small compared to a cell phone screen."
"No need for that. Didn't I tell you not to buy expensive items?" Li Nuo shook his head and refused.
He had said it many times, that all he needed was a bouquet of flowers, fruits or something like that. The main thing was that Mo Chuan would bring something every time he came, but he didn't listen, so Li Nuo had to give up and just said something inexpensive.
"Then just use it for this period of time. I've already bought it."
"You can withdraw now."
Li Nuo always refused to accept Mo Chuan's gifts, and Mo Chuan would act like a scoundrel, "If you don't need it, I'll throw it away, I won't return it or anything."
Every time this happened, Li Nuo would say thank you reluctantly, and Mo Chuan would smile with triumph.
For example, now, Mo Chuan directly opened the package and took out the laptop inside, "With this, it will be much more convenient for you to search for things on the Internet."
"Everything I've given you so far is from my heart, so don't reject it. Although I look sunny, I can get hurt easily."
Li Nuo looked at him with a complicated expression. Those who had been hurt by Mo Chuan in the past should really let him hear these words. He was obviously a ruthless person, but now he was pretending to be pitiful.
"Can you control your expression a little? Your contempt is almost showing." Mo Chuan looked at his face and smiled bitterly.
"......I didn't think about anything." Li Nuo looked away.
"Don't lie to me, my thoughts are written all over my face."
Mo Chuan smiled and turned on the laptop, which he had specially asked Liu Ming to buy. It was the latest model, had the best performance, and was relatively thin and light.
If I buy it for Linuo, of course I have to buy the most suitable one.
“Do you know how to use it?”
Li Nuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not an idiot. After all, we live in the information age."
"You try it."
Mo Chuan sat sideways on the edge of the bed, set up a small table, placed the computer, and adjusted the bed to a suitable height.
"Have you thought about what you are going to do after you are discharged from the hospital?"
"Well, I'm considering it. I don't think a three-week secretary job is suitable for me. Why don't I look for a waiter job?" When it comes to this topic, Linuo became more excited. Even though he is not fully recovered yet, he is already thinking about the future.
"But it will probably take a long time for me to recover to the point where I can work." He sighed again. Even after being discharged from the hospital, Brother He suggested that he rest at home for a while.
"Oh, it's really troublesome to be in poor health."
He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
