Chapter 197 Mr. Li, we tried our best
The rescue in the ICU room was stopped. The doctor pushed open the door and walked out. Looking at Li Jingshen kneeling on the ground, he didn't know how to start.
Li Jingshen looked up at the doctor standing in front of him. He wanted to stand up and ask him how Shen Zhichu was doing, but his legs felt as if they were filled with lead and iron and became extremely heavy. He couldn't even move a little.
He opened his mouth and listened to the hoarse voice coming out of his throat and asked, “Shen Zhichu…how is she?”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li. We have tried our best."
It was like a bomb was thrown into his mind. The brief blank made him lose the ability to think. He didn't even know where he was born or what he was going through.
Those eyes that were usually as sharp as an eagle had now lost their sharpness and became dull like stagnant water, with no light in them.
Li Jingshen had never been so frightened as he was now. He seldom cried. He could remember that he had cried less than five times since he was a child. But this time, his tears kept falling as if they could never stop.
He grabbed the doctor's white coat in a panic, as if he was holding a life-saving straw.
Li Jingshen, who was usually so arrogant that he wouldn't even say a soft word, seemed to have lost his self-respect and pride. He knelt on the ground dejectedly, learning to beg for help for the first time.
He grabbed the doctor's white coat: "Please save her, she is only 24 years old..."
Yes, Shen Zhichu was only twenty-four years old. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that Shen Zhichu was so young, but she was about to die in her prime.
Even though her brain wanted to block out external sources, her ears still clearly heard the second half of the doctor's words.
"Your wife... Miss Shen, we have done our best to rescue her for six hours. She was injected with a nerve-damaging drug. Normally, one shot would cause excruciating pain, but we found five doses in her system. She now has a brain contusion and brainstem hemorrhage..."
Li Jingshen's vision began to darken. After a long while, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "What will happen then?"
"...She is now a vegetable." The doctor whispered.
Li Jingshen's face was extremely pale, and his lips looked excessively pale under the light.
Li Jingshen knew about the potion that destroyed the mind because he had used it to torture a traitor before. He still remembered that after taking the potion, the prisoner rolled on the ground holding his head in pain and finally went crazy.
He never thought that kind of medicine would be used on Shen Zhichu, and five of them at that. Scenes flashed through his mind.
——"Li Jingshen, do you know what I would have encountered in the past! If I had encountered an accident..."
He never thought that Shen Zhichu would encounter this. If he knew, he would not be sent away by her.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and coughed softly. He actually tasted blood in his throat, and felt depressed.
A vegetative state. Shen Zhichu, who had been married to him for four years, has become a vegetative state.
She would no longer smile at herself, scold him, cry in grievance, or leave the lights on for him every night waiting for him to come back for dinner.
Li Jingshen tightly grasped the doctor's white coat with one hand, and pressed hard on the heart with the other hand. The heart was beating violently as if someone was hitting it with a huge hammer, each time harder than the last.
He felt a little suffocated by the dull pain, but he didn't dare to breathe hard, as if what he breathed in was not oxygen but ice chips, freezing his internal organs and causing pain everywhere.
"Mr. Li, you can go in now..."
Li Jingshen didn't move. After a moment, he blinked his dry eyes and asked dryly, "A vegetative person will wake up, right?"
"There is a chance that a vegetative patient can wake up, but Miss Shen's situation is different. She has advanced gastric cancer and even if she wakes up, she won't have much time left."
"You said she has advanced stomach cancer?"
The doctor nodded reluctantly.
"Heh..." Li Jingshen laughed out loud. He stood up unsteadily, "You guys really are teaming up to deceive me!"
