Chapter 28 Death and Rebirth



Seeing that her younger brother was not right, Gao Zimin, who was by the hospital bed, quickly asked, "Little brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Sis, I feel like I can't move again!"

Gao Zimin quickly pressed the call button by the bedside, "Brother, how do you feel? Why can't you move?"

Gao Siming temporarily ignored Gou Dan's sigh and Sui Wen's silence, and tried to move his body.

Indeed, that was the feeling; a familiar sense of powerlessness welled up in Gao Siming's heart.

"Sis, it seems like DSTH has relapsed!"

When Gao Zimin was hospitalized a few years ago, the doctor told her more than once that the recurrence rate of this rare disease was quite high.

During his recovery, in the first year, Gao Siming experienced the helplessness of his condition recurring more than once.

Later on, the recurrence of his illness became less and less frequent. In the last six months, Gao Siming, who has basically recovered, has not experienced any recurrence of his illness. In his opinion, with Sui Wen's help, he should have completely broken free from the shackles of this rare disease.

Unexpectedly, this incident at the Lovers' Restaurant backfired spectacularly. He failed to disgust Peng Yuanyuan and instead caused his DSTH to relapse.

The nurse arrived quickly, glanced at Gao Siming's appearance, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't handle this situation. Please wait a moment, I'll call the attending physician right away!"

Before long, Gao Siming's attending physician arrived; it happened to be Dr. Liu, who had previously been in charge of Gao Siming's treatment.

Dr. Liu skillfully tapped Gao Siming's limbs, glanced at his eyes, and then shook Gao Siming's right hand.

"Young man, grip it tighter!"

Gao Siming knew that the doctor was assessing his muscle weakness symptoms, so he clenched his fists with all his might.

"Grade 2 myasthenia gravis!" Dr. Liu said in a low voice, then said to Gao Zimin, "Family member, come out for a moment!"

Watching the doctor's familiar movements, Gao Zimin felt as if she had returned to the time when her younger brother had just fallen ill 19 years ago, and her already red and swollen eyes were once again filled with tears.

Follow the doctor to the ward door.

"Your brother's condition is not optimistic. The preliminary assessment is that his illness has relapsed. I'll write you some forms in a bit, and you can rent a wheelchair and take him for a detailed examination. He also has a lumbar puncture this afternoon."

"Okay, I understand, thank you doctor!"

"Sigh!" Dr. Liu sighed and turned to leave.

This young man has had a truly unfortunate life. He contracted this disease a few years ago and was initially thought to be incurable. However, just when the hospital was powerless to help him and he was given a death sentence and sent home, a miracle occurred. In just over two years, he was completely cured!

The last time he went back to the hospital for a checkup, everything was normal, so how could this be...?

Perhaps this is fate! Dr. Liu shook his head and returned to his office.

Just as Gao Zimin was pushing her younger brother to various departments of the hospital for examinations, An Dingsi had already completed his routine questioning of Peng Yuanyuan.

The one who asked Peng Yuanyuan was naturally Li Nan. Qin Wen originally wanted to come along to see what her former rival had become.

However, seeing Li Nan's aggrieved look, she still felt it was best to tone it down a bit. After all, the patrol guards had already delivered the items related to the case, and she still had many important things to do.

When Li Nan and Ma Jie arrived at the ward, Li Nan was surprised to find that she had run into an acquaintance there.

"Xiao Li, it's been a long time! I was just saying I'd find a chance to introduce you two to my new employer, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

It was Aunt Chen, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. It turned out that the new employer Aunt Chen mentioned, who had studied abroad and could draw, was actually Peng Yuanyuan.

"Why didn't Xiao Qin come today?" Once Aunt Chen starts talking, this questioning will probably continue until the evening.

Li Nan quickly explained, "Aunt Chen, Qin Wen has other matters to attend to. We need to conduct routine questioning of the victim now, what do you think?"

Seeing Li Nan's gesture, Aunt Chen understood. "I understand, I understand. I'll go out now. Little Li, remember to come visit me when you have time!"

Li Nan felt like she had three black lines on her head.

Peng Yuanyuan watched as Aunt Chen and Li Nan reunited, and only after Aunt Chen left did she speak first: "Li Nan, it's been a long time!"

"Yes, Sister Peng, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"I heard Aunt Chen mention Xiao Li and Xiao Qin, who often visit Brother Gao, so I guessed it was you." Peng Yuanyuan propped herself up with a pillow, leaned against the headboard, and continued, "By the way, how is Brother Gao now?"

"He's still unconscious, so we came to check on you first. Sister Peng, we can talk about other things another day. Let's talk about what happened at noon today."

"As you all probably know now, I'm the author of the comic 'My Secret.' I've been drawing it for a while now and I'm feeling like I'm running out of inspiration, so I asked to meet up with Brother Gao to chat and see if I could come up with any new ideas. I never expected to run into this!"

Before coming over, Li Nan had already contacted the Nanshan Patrol Guard and had a general understanding of what had happened.

Today's visit to inquire about Qin Wen is mainly a formality; the main purpose is still about her comics.

"So, you don't know the balloon seller?"

"Of course I don't know him. Does that person have mental problems?"

"We are still investigating this. We will let you know the necessary information when we have the results."

Did you notice anything unusual at the time?

"I didn't notice. I hadn't seen Brother Gao for many years. I was so busy talking that I didn't even pay attention to what I was eating, let alone the people outside the window."

During their question-and-answer session, Peng Yuanyuan did not reveal Gao Siming's attempt to take advantage of her. After all, she wasn't the one who would suffer; her years abroad had been filled with valuable training.

Li Nan felt that Peng Yuanyuan was not telling the truth, and that it was just a gut feeling without any evidence.

Moreover, both she and Brother Gao were victims in this incident, and what happened between them should be unrelated to this case.

After completing the formalities, Li Nan asked, "Sister Peng, would you mind telling me about your comics? Ming Shigao, Gao Siming?"
