Chapter 996 Su Yi's Tears
They rushed into the penthouse suite almost one after the other, with expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces.
"Sister-in-law!" Tang Yi was the first to speak, his voice a little tense. His usual smart and capable image was gone, and he was as helpless as a child. "Brother Qiu...how could he be like this?"
His eyes passed me and eagerly looked at the ICU ward behind the glass window. Seeing Xiao Shiqiu's body full of tubes and lifeless appearance, his eyes instantly turned red.
Ling Xiuzhi's shock was more restrained. He nodded slightly at me and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, how long has Brother Qiu been like this?"
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Shiqiu, his brows furrowed.
"It's been almost a month..." I said softly.
"Su Yi!" Gu Muchen was impatient. He practically rushed to the glass window, clenching his fists tightly. "What the hell are you doing! It's been a month and you still haven't cured Brother Qiu!"
Su Yi said coldly, "If you can do it, go ahead!"
Su Yi has been talking less and less recently, and I almost forgot that he is also a person who doesn't give in with his words.
Ling Xiuzhi pulled Gu Muchen and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
He looked at me and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened? It's been almost a month, why is there no news at all?"
I briefly explained the causes and consequences of the car accident, as well as the circumstances of the case that had just been solved, including Si Kouting's specific motives and the details of Lu Yuanqing's death, but omitted the organ trade behind the Lu family.
Their faces were uglier than each other, "Su Yi! Why the hell didn't you tell us earlier!" Gu Muchen was the most impulsive and was the first to attack, his tone full of complaints, "If I had known earlier..."
"What could you have done if you had known this earlier? Would you have laid down for him? Or taken him to the hospital?" Su Yi did not indulge him at all. They were the same age, and it was said that they were the ones who quarreled and argued the most since they were young.
One is a top student and the other is a poor student. Gu Muchen's parents always like to compare their son with Su Yi, and Gu Muchen is often scolded for this.
"I...I, I can find the best doctor for him!" Gu Muchen stiffened his neck in dissatisfaction.
Su Yi snorted coldly, "The Xiao family can't afford a doctor?"
Gu Muchen turned off the engine and closed the microphone.
Ling Xiuzhi was relatively calm, but now he frowned and looked a little dissatisfied: "Su Yi, even if Brother Qiu's uncle asked us to keep it a secret, you still don't trust us brothers?"
Facing his friend's questioning, Su Yi had no expression on his face. He just pushed his glasses and spoke in his usual professional tone: "What will I change by telling you? Will I make you worry about it? Or will I rush out to find the murderer and alert the enemy?
Confidentiality is a requirement of the police and the Xiao family. For the safety of my sister-in-law and Brother Qiu, I have an obligation to cooperate with the police."
Every word Su Yi said made sense, and Ling Xiuzhi didn't know what to say. Looking at Xiao Shiqiu, who looked like a wax figure, he couldn't help but ask, "Tell me the truth, what's going on with Brother Qiu? When will he wake up?"
Su Yi was silent for a moment, his eyes swept through the glass window: "As you can see, he is currently in a deep coma, but all his body function indicators are recovering steadily, the intracranial hematoma is being absorbed well, and the fracture healing is also in line with expectations.
From a medical standpoint, his body is working hard to recover.”
"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?!" Gu Muchen pressed eagerly, raising the question that concerned me most. "It's been over a month! Su Yi, you said all his indicators were good. There must be a reason why he can't wake up, right? Is his soul lost? How about finding a master to summon his soul?"
They say the end of science is metaphysics. If it is useful, I would actually be willing to do so.
Su Yi fell silent, and my heart began to tighten.
He avoided our gaze, turned to look at the instruments in the ward, and lowered his voice: "The time it takes to wake up from a coma varies from person to person, and there are many influencing factors.
All I can do now is wait and give him time. In a few days, I can go in and see him, talk to him, and maybe I can help him wake up soon."
His evasion and the uncertainty in his tone made everyone's faces even uglier.
Ling Xiuzhi glanced at me and said, "Su Yi, come out for a moment."
Su Yi nodded, and several people turned around tacitly and walked outside, obviously trying to avoid saying something they didn't want me to hear.
The door was closed gently, isolating them from view, but it couldn't isolate the fear that was growing wildly in me.
Su Yi's attitude has always been my last pillar of support.
Every time he made rounds he said 'it's getting better', and even though I knew it was just comforting, I was willing to believe it.
But now, even he...
A chill ran up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. I almost climbed down from the sofa using my hands and feet, and rushed to the door silently. I held my breath and pressed my ear tightly against the cold door panel.
The voices outside were so low that I couldn't hear what was being said.
But I heard a low sob!
It’s Su Yi’s voice!
Su Yi, the always calm and composed man who seemed to be able to hold up the world with his medical knowledge, was...crying?!
My brain buzzed and went blank in an instant.
Finally, the string that supported me broke completely.
Su Yi's tears almost represented the cruelest judgment to me.
"No...no..." I murmured, suddenly opened the door and rushed out desperately.
In the corridor, four tall men were gathered together. Su Yi had his back to me, his shoulders slightly hunched, and Ling Xiuzhi's hand was on his shoulder.
Hearing the door open, they turned around in surprise at the same time.
I stared at Su Yi's red eyes, my voice trembling: "Su Yi! Tell me! What happened to Xiao Shiqiu?!
You said he wouldn't die! You said it!"
Su Yi looked at me, his lips moved a few times, and he spoke with some difficulty: "Yes, Brother Qiu will not die."
Gu Muchen's eyes were also red. He wiped his face with the back of his hand and muttered softly, "A vegetative state is still alive! The master didn't say he wouldn't become a vegetative state..."
"Vegetative?!"
These three words were like thunder, exploding in my ears!
My vision suddenly went black, the world was spinning, and the strength supporting my body was instantly drained away. My legs went limp, and I collapsed straight to the cold ground.
"sister in law!"
"sister in law!!"
Several exclamations rang out at the same time.
Su Yi, who was closest to me, had a drastic change of expression on his face. He rushed over and barely caught me before I fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" He almost shouted, his voice changing in tone.
"Gu Muchen, you bastard, shut up!" Su Yi half-carried me into the room and roared at the terrified Gu Muchen, "Do you know that being stimulated can easily cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage?"
