Chapter 399 She is a Child Surrounded by Luck
The dinner he had just eaten instantly covered his face, neck, and pillow with green and yellow vomit.
Yi Jingrong was standing closest to her, and seeing this, he quickly turned Gu Nan's head to the side to prevent her from choking.
Gu Nan's eyes were red from the stomach acid, but he still stared at Yi Jingrong and asked instead of answering, "You don't know?"
Don’t you know that it’s ridiculous for the Creator to ask the experimental subject questions?
Don’t you know how cruel your condescending attitude is?
Don’t you know that your story of life and death is the real life experience of others?
Yi Jingrong frowned slightly and looked at Gu Nan carefully.
A thin face, dry hair, skin that hadn't seen the sun for a long time and was so pale that it almost blended with the pillow and quilt. It was a familiar look of illness.
The aftermath of the spasm had not yet passed, her voice was trembling, her breathing was rapid, but her eyes were exceptionally dark and quiet, as if hiding a vortex, stirring the bursting fireworks.
She seemed to have a lot to say, but her pale lips opened and closed, revealing only four words.
you do not know?
Ridicule, contempt, even resentment.
In an instant, Yi Jingrong seemed to understand something. She smiled silently, but because she was wearing a mask, it was not clear.
This sudden, overwhelming surge of emotion was directed at her and her problems.
"It seems to be a not-so-good memory."
She didn't ask any more questions. She took the tablet from the assistant, checked a few tests, told him to have a good rest, and then turned and left the ward.
The others didn't ask any more questions and followed her quietly like a group of silent shadows.
Gu Nan stared at their backs as they left, feeling as if a fire was burning in her heart, making every drop of her blood boil.
She wanted to scream and jump, to vent her anger.
But she couldn't move, she could only lie in the sour and smelly vomit, letting the surging emotions overwhelm her.
Until the footsteps gradually faded away, the nurse came in, picked up Gu Nan, changed her clothes, and wiped off the dirt.
Gu Nan had been lying down for too long, his muscles had atrophied, he couldn't sit still, and he had no strength. His body was like soft boiled noodles, and he would slide to the ground if he wasn't careful.
When changing the sheets and quilt covers, the nurse carried her to the wheelchair and tied her up with a restraint belt.
It couldn't slide anymore, but its crooked posture reminded Gu Nan of a celebrity who had been paralyzed for many years.
Her condition at this moment is probably even worse than before, and "mud" may be a better way to describe her body.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes. Her face became paler due to the discomfort caused by the sudden change in body position.
"It will only take two minutes. It will be over soon," the nurse comforted.
She was a strong and agile middle-aged woman who had received professional training. She worked quickly and well, and even found time to chat with Gu Nan while she was busy.
"Now that you can talk, I'll have someone to chat with. Otherwise, the whole building will be silent and lifeless."
"Come to think of it, out of more than 2,000 people, you're the only one awake. You're a lucky girl."
She looked up at the sky outside the window. "It's still early, the cafeteria should still be busy. I'll go buy you some food after I finish cleaning up, otherwise it'll be uncomfortable to sleep on an empty stomach. What do you want to eat? Noodles are okay?"
Gu Nan opened his eyes slightly, endured the dizziness and asked: "There are more than 2,000 patients in this building?"
The nurse was putting on the blanket and didn't turn around when she heard this. She continued busying herself and said, "No, there are only a little over a thousand in this building, and there's another one next to it. At the beginning, the two buildings combined had 3,000 people, but now there are only a little over 2,800 left. It's only been a year, so there will be fewer in the future."
Gu Nan asked: "Why?"
"Some died due to complications, some were taken back because their families didn't think it was expensive, and some, like you, woke up and will be able to go home soon."
The nurse put on the quilt and turned around and said with a smile, as if she was very happy for Gu Nan: "You are the first one to wake up."
Gu Nan forced a smile, but his muscles were stiff and looked like he was cramping. "Is it expensive to live here?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but it could be as little as a few thousand or as much as tens of thousands. Anyway, you have to pay every month, just like living in a nursing home." The nurse said, "It's normal for some families to be reluctant. With such a huge monthly expense, the pressure must be immense. Tianguang said they'll use special treatments to increase the chances of recovery, but who can say for sure..."
She was still muttering about the difficulties of life, but Gu Nan could no longer hear what she was saying.
She was in a coma for two years after the car accident and joined the Skylight Awakening Project for a year. Her treatment and rehabilitation expenses must be a staggering figure.
She is an orphan, and apart from the director's mother, no one in the world would hesitate to spend this slim hope money on her.
Mom is waiting for her to come home, and Mom believes she can come home.
She went home.
She really returned to her long-cherished hometown.
In an instant, Gu Nan burst into tears.
She seemed to have suddenly broken free from the fog of emotions, and her heart, which had been bruised and bleeding due to resentment, found a harbor to rest in again.
It doesn’t matter that the past three years were fake, she still has the dean’s mother.
As long as the dean’s mother is real, it will be fine.
She is back.
She will be able to see her mother soon.
On the thirteenth day after waking up, Gu Nan met Gu Wangnan.
At that time, Gu Nan was doing standing training in the rehabilitation training room. She was tied to an upright bed and tried to stand at 90 degrees for the first time.
Gu Wangnan, carrying a lot of bags, carefully knocked on the door of the rehabilitation room and asked, "Excuse me..."
Just two words, but they instantly hooked Gu Nan's mind like a hook. She didn't even see the person, and the word "Mom" came out of her mouth.
"Mother!"
The loud call echoed in the quiet training room. Gu Nan turned his head and saw Gu Wangnan, who looked exhausted, standing at the door.
She looked hurried and tired, but her gentle and kind face was exactly the same as in my memory.
"Mom!" Gu Nan shouted again.
Gu Wangnan's eyes instantly turned red after being called "Mom" twice. He dropped the luggage in his hand and quickly walked to the upright bed, "Anan."
She held Gu Nan's withered hand, touched her thin shoulders, and caressed her exposed, cool skin. Finally, like she had done so many times before when she saw Gu Nan coming home from school, she cupped her shriveled cheeks and said through sobs, "You've lost weight."
Gu Nan bent his neck, tilted his head, and rubbed against Gu Wangnan's palm like a puppy, tears streaming down his face, "Mom."
She couldn't say anything else but "Mom" over and over again.
She called her mother, acted coquettishly, and expressed how much she missed her.
Her grievances no longer made her sad, and her pain turned into a medal of awakening.
Every tear she shed was an overflow of joy.
She is a child surrounded by luck. No matter what happens, there is a firm love guiding her forward.
As long as her mother is around, she doesn't need to distinguish between true and false, everything is fine.
The accompanying rehabilitation physician sat at a desk not far away, concentrating on observing the ups and downs of the data lines on the computer, only occasionally diverting a little attention to look at the mother and daughter hugging and crying.
Of course, she was looking at Gu Nan more——
I believe that no researcher can take their eyes off Gu Nan. Whether it is being able to speak fluently a week after waking up, or being able to perform 90° upright training in less than half a month, the rehabilitation feedback provided by Gu Nan far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Everyone said she was full of incredible vitality.
Everyone said that she would be a participant and witness of a miracle.
Or maybe, she herself is a miracle?
These rare and precious materials are the most powerful evidence.
