Chapter 51: Awakening "Why hasn't the young master...
"Then why hasn't the young master woken up yet?"
The doctor was also surprised and checked Hua Yichen's vital signs.
"The current conditions are limited. If you want to know the specific cause, you need to go back to the hospital for a detailed examination."
"Then here..."
Ye Shubai looked around and saw the devastated laboratory.
The once bright, white laboratory was quiet and orderly. Suddenly, the door flung open, and a struggle unfolded. The white walls were stained with scattered red. It was blood, not Hua Yichen's.
The lab's location was hidden, winding its way around, yet it didn't seem to be moving. If Hua Yichen hadn't marked the route, even with a GPS, it would have been difficult to find.
Ye Shubai looked at Hua Yichen, whose eyes were still closed in his arms, and his brows were furrowed with deep self-blame.
If he hadn't given enough signal powder for marking.
It wouldn't be so slow.
It won't put the young master in danger.
Ye Shubai's thoughts wandered to this point, and his eyes shifted fiercely towards the culprit. He lay with his eyes closed in a pool of blood, his head ripped open and a bloody mess. A trickle of blood began to flow from the back of his head, staining his white coat red. But Ye Shubai still felt unsatisfied. The viciousness in his eyes was like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, wishing to devour him alive.
"We'll take care of the rest here. Doctor Zhang, you and Mr. Ye go back first." Ye Shubai's eyes were full of murderous intent. A middle-aged police officer in police uniform quickly spoke to divert his attention.
"Got it," Doctor Zhang replied, taking action. "Come on, use the stretcher in the car and carry him out."
The conversation between the two awakened Ye Shubai's rationality, and he looked at the person in his arms with tenderness in his eyes.
"I'll just carry the young master out!"
Ye Shubai's eyes never left Hua Yichen, but his voice was extremely penetrating.
Doctor Zhang knew the offer was directed at him, and after a moment's deliberation, he still declined, "We don't know his condition yet. A stretcher could prevent unnecessary injuries."
"good."
Doctor Zhang looked at Ye Shubai holding Hua Yichen with his hands that were restrained but reluctant. He originally thought that it would take some time to persuade him, but he didn't expect Ye Shubai to agree so easily.
Seven days have passed since the kidnapping incident.
"Young Master, why haven't you woken up yet?" Ye Shubai sat next to Hua Yichen's bed. His two hands were like holding a rare treasure, holding Hua Yichen's hand that was not inserted with a needle, and his voice was full of nasal tone.
Repeating it slowly over and over again.
It seemed that as long as he kept talking, Hua Yichen would wake up.
"Young Master, a lot has happened in the past few days. If you want to hear it, just move, even if it's just a finger." Ye Shubai picked up the cotton swab next to the bed, dipped it in water and moistened Hua Yichen's chapped lips.
He did not forget to lean over and whisper to Hua Yichen.
It seemed that as long as he spoke closer, Hua Yichen would be able to hear him.
"Okay, if the young master doesn't move, I'll tell you!" Ye Shubai waited for a while, leaving only silence.
"Young Master, let me tell you the good news first!" Ye Shubai's voice was bitter but with a hint of sweetness.
"The gang that kidnapped us were all caught in one fell swoop." Ye Shubai suddenly thought of something and raised his voice sharply, "Brother's body was also found."
"A few days ago, I was busy preparing for my brother's funeral, so I could only visit you at night. Then I was busy with the kidnappers for a few days. After that, I stayed with you every day."
"Okay, I know you don't like me clinging to you, but there's nothing I can do! Master, I just want to be with you."
"If you wake up, young master, I will take you to see my brother."
Ye Shubai seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his face flushed red, and his originally chattering voice suddenly became hesitant.
"If...if you...are willing..."
“…”
After talking about a lot of happy things, Ye Shubai paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and finally spoke again.
But this time the voice was not as happy as when talking about happy things. It was stained with a little sadness and a bit of grief.
"Master, there is another piece of bad news."
"It's just...even though the kidnappers were all apprehended, the culprit we all know is still at large."
"Gu Qi?" A hoarse and rough voice slowly continued Ye Shubai's words.
"Young Master? You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Shubai's nerves stopped moving, and then he burst into joy that was beyond words.
After Hua Yichen said three words, he felt that the sound of each word was like a piece of rusty iron scraping across his throat. The air flow passing through the vocal cords was like a blunt knife scratching sandpaper, making intermittent hissing sounds and bringing bursts of dull pain.
Facing Ye Shubai's question, he could only shake his head slightly in response.
"How could there be none? You were unconscious for such a long, long time." Ye Shubai's voice lowered again, tinged with deep sadness.
Ye Shubai's tears finally fell after seven days of delay when Hua Yichen gently rubbed Ye Shubai's head.
Hua Yichen's eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at a child who had suffered a lot of grievances. Ye Shubai cried even harder under such warm eyes.
Ye Shubai's aggrieved look made people feel distressed, but he also did not forget to pay attention to Hua Yichen's movements.
Her eyes were filled with tears. She knew that Hua Yichen, who had just woken up, was weak all over. It took a lot of strength to raise her hand. She lowered her head and moved closer to Hua Yichen's hand.
Let Hua Yichen touch it easily.
"good……"
The comfort method that had always been effective in the past, somehow became a catalyst today, and even exacerbated Ye Shubai's sadness, causing him to cry even harder. Hua Yichen subconsciously felt distressed, ignoring the dryness and pain in his throat, and said a word.
Ye Shubai could hear the distress in Hua Yichen's voice, and when he realized that he was going to continue to say words to comfort him, he immediately stopped crying and looked at Hua Yichen with red eyes and nose.
His eyes were filled with the words "Be good, don't talk anymore."
Hua Yichen understood what Ye Shubai meant. He smiled and playfully mouthed the word "good" as if he was going to respond.
"Stop talking, I won't cry anymore." Ye Shubai was afraid that Hua Yichen would speak again and hurt himself, so he quickly spoke out to stop him.
In the end, Hua Yichen just lip-synced.
Ye Shubai realized that he had been fooled by Hua Yichen and was about to punish him.
"snort……"
Seeing Hua Yichen curled up in a ball, holding his head tightly, he realized that it had been so long and he still hadn't called a doctor to check on Hua Yichen's condition. The slight annoyance he had felt immediately turned into guilt.
While pressing the call button next to him, he anxiously walked forward to ask about Hua Yichen's situation.
He walked up to Hua Yichen, gently pried open his hands that were covering his head, and saw a face full of smiles.
Ye Shubai realized belatedly that Hua Yichen was fine.
This time Ye Shubai burst out laughing, and laughed out of anger.
"Cough cough cough" Hua Yichen just groaned. Even though it was just a gasp in his throat, it felt like an embroidery knife cutting rotten wood, and it hurt a lot.
Seeing Hua Yichen pretending to hum, which affected his injured throat, Ye Shubai completely lost his temper.
The doctor came just in time.
Ye Shubai: "Come and check on the young master's condition."
"The current situation is normal." The doctor looked at Hua Yichen's report and gave his conclusion.
"It's just..." The doctor's eyes fixed on an anomaly.
Ye Shubai's heart, which had been about to be put at ease, was raised again with the doctor's turn of events: "Doctor, is there any problem?"
"There is no big problem now, it's just that the reported value is too high." The doctor pointed to the number on the report, which was far larger than the normal value, and showed it to Ye Shubai.
"Does this have any impact?"
Doctor: "Not at the moment. He fell into a coma this time because of fright. Fright is generally not a problem, but fright that can lead to coma should still be taken seriously."
"Then, doctor, how can we take this seriously?" Ye Shubai asked anxiously, desperate to know the solution. He didn't want to face the helpless situation he felt a few days ago again.
The kind of days where there's nothing wrong, but as time goes by, the doctor gives a more serious result every day.
He's too frightened. He'll wake up after some rest.
I'm still a little tired, so I might need to rest for a few more days.
Maybe, the probability of waking up is a bit low.
Be prepared to take care of a vegetative person!
“…”
Everything was finally broken at this moment. Hua Yichen shook his head to show that he was fine, and his eyes were full of everything.
Hua Yichen woke up, and Ye Shubai finally felt reality.
"Let's first investigate the source of his fear. This will help prevent any accidents. We can also do some desensitization training to see if we can control it."
"Source?" Ye Shubai searched his mind and still looked at Hua Yichen with a questioning look on his face.
Hua Yichen had a firm expression.
A positive answer was conveyed.
Ye Shubai understood, and Hua Yichen knew the reason.
"Doctor, the young master still has a sore throat." The main reason was found, and Ye Shubai thought of Hua Yichen again, and the hoarse sound coming from his broken throat.
"Eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and talk less for the next few days. Follow this order, and after you pay, go downstairs to the second-floor window to get your medicine."
"Okay, doctor." Ye Shubai took the list very solemnly and answered sincerely.
"By the way, observe for another day. If there are no other symptoms, you can be discharged the next day."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
As Ye Shubai's sincere thanks fell, the luxurious single room returned to its original calm.
Now there are only two people left.
Hua Yichen knew that the joke he had just made was a bit too much.
There was a doctor there before, and the atmosphere among the three of them was good. Now there are only two of them left, and the old issues can be brought up again.
Hua Yichen subconsciously touched his throat. He hadn't drunk any water since he woke up. He had just said a few words, but his throat seemed to be cracked and he could faintly smell blood in his mouth.
"Come, Master, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Hua Yichen took the cup of water handed to him by Ye Shubai, and the warm touch spread from his fingertips through the glass wall.
Warm water that is suitable for human body temperature, such a thoughtful gesture made Hua Yichen feel warm in his heart.
The dry throat finally felt much better, like a long-awaited rain.
"How is it? Will you feel better after drinking the water?" Seeing Hua Yichen drink the water, Ye Shubai was worried about Hua Yichen's health. He took the empty cup from his hand and was eager to know his feedback.
Hua Yichen: "I'm not angry anymore."
"Stop talking now. Talk after you get better, otherwise it will be difficult to recover." Ye Shubai heard Hua Yichen speaking again and hurriedly stopped him.
Fortunately, the sound this time was not as sharp as at the beginning. After being moistened by water, it became much rounder.
Hua Yichen realized that he had spoken again, and this time he responded by pinching his index finger and thumb together and making a zipper motion at his lips.
"That's right!"
Ye Shubai looked very relieved.
"Master, are you hungry? I'll call my secretary in and ask him to buy some food and get your medicine."
He had been on intravenous drip for several days. Ye Shubai had not mentioned it before, but now that he mentioned eating, Hua Yichen felt as if all his senses had come alive, and his stomach also showed signs of being hungry.
Before he could even form the word "hungry", Ye Shubai glared at Hua Yichen, who quickly made the zippering motion again.
Then, like a child hearing instructions from a teacher, he just moved his head and nodded vigorously up and down.
In Ye Shubai's eyes, Hua Yichen was like a little blue penguin, constantly moving his head up and down.
Clumsy and cute.
"What do you want to eat?" I was pressed for time and couldn't cook, so I had to eat out.
Ye Shubai showed Hua Yichen the nearby takeaways and shops for him to choose from.
Hua Yichen took the tablet, checked it one by one, and looked for something he wanted to eat.
After swiping for a long time, I still couldn't choose one.
