Chapter 182: Trying to Save
Through the half-open door, she could vaguely see the Liu couple looking at her with eyes full of complex emotions.
Not only did they express apologies for the misunderstanding caused by their past behavior, but they also felt guilty for their cold attitude towards their savior - they even avoided him for a time, fearing that any contact would bring trouble to their family.
But it was this fearless Liu Dayang who bravely established contact with Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin and successfully conveyed the message.
His courage is admirable, and he has shown extraordinary bravery at such a young age.
Looking at his five-year-old son, Father Liu feels very proud, but at the same time a little ashamed - when facing difficulties, he is sometimes not as determined as a child.
Qiao Jin noticed the girl lying on the hospital bed. She was Liu Dayang's sister.
Although it was just a glance, Qiao Jin recognized her.
The girl's face was so pale as if it had been illuminated by moonlight, completely bloodless.
Liu Dayang's sister is sixteen years old. She was the most seriously injured among the victims and suffered the most brutal torture.
Although Liu Dayang's mentality seems to be optimistic and positive now, whenever his family sees Liu Linlin lying on the hospital bed, they still can't stop crying and sadness surges like a tide.
Due to the special circumstances of their family, Liu Linlin was not able to send the patient to the hospital in time like the relatives of other victims.
In fact, many of those who suffered the same disease have begun to recover, and some are even able to walk slowly with the help of others.
But for the Liu family, things were much more complicated - at first, Liu Linlin had a persistent high fever due to an epidemic caused by an unknown virus, and then she was abducted by Weng Guangsheng and given to He Chi for illegal human experiments.
Because she has a rare blood type, she becomes the focus of attention of those evil people.
When she was finally rescued, the young girl who should have been in full bloom was now left with only a layer of skin clinging to her bones, and her body was covered with scars and dense needle holes, which ruthlessly revealed the severity of the abuse she had suffered.
Seeing this scene, the man, as a father, choked up again and could hardly control his emotions, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
At this moment, Liu Dayang said in a slightly frustrated and pleading tone: "Sister Qiao, although you helped me save my sister from the bad guys, she never woke up. The doctors checked her many times and said that there was no way to make her recover. Can you please help me take a look? Please tell me, will my sister wake up?"
After hearing Liu Dayang's words, Qiao Jin felt very sad and walked into the ward without any hesitation.
When she walked to the bedside and saw the face that was so pale that there was almost no life and the lips were so pale that they seemed to have lost their color, she immediately stretched out her hand to gently hold the other person's wrist and prepare to take her pulse.
After a moment, Qiao Jin's expression became extremely serious.
At the same time, Liu Dayang put down the basin in his hand, ran over quickly and stood aside waiting, while his parents stared at them with eager and nervous eyes, as if expecting a life-and-death answer.
"Sister Qiao, how is my sister?"
There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Liu Dayang's voice.
"Comrade Qiao, please don't hesitate. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly. We are all mentally prepared."
Father Liu clenched his fists and spoke in a firm tone, although there was still an undisguised tremor in his voice.
Qiao Jin replied in a deep voice: "Her condition is indeed not optimistic. The virus must have infected the cells, making conventional treatment ineffective. There have been no similar cases of this virus in Kyoto or even in the country. If experts can't find an effective cure..." Qiao Jin paused. The words that followed were too heavy, and even she couldn't bear to continue.
The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Hearing these words, Liu's mother immediately covered her mouth, cried out in pain, and her whole body was shaking.
Her eyes were wet and tears rolled down her cheeks, silently expressing her inner grief.
Father Liu stood up suddenly and slapped his cheeks hard, one after another. The crisp sound was terrifying.
Every swing of his hand was so heavy, as if to knock away all his despair and self-blame.
Liu Dayang also rushed to his sister's bed and held her hands tightly with both hands: "Sister, don't leave me, I saved Niu Nainai, and I will definitely save you this time. Sister, please don't leave!"
His words were full of pleading and reluctance.
But even though Liu Dayang tried hard to hold back his tears, they still kept rolling down like beads from a broken string.
He tried hard to wipe away the tears that kept falling, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a man, I shouldn't cry."
But before he could finish his words, new tears welled up again, like an uncontrollable tide, washing away all his strength.
Why can't the tears stop flowing?
Qiao Jin felt heartbroken when she saw the helpless look on this family's face.
She tightly closed her red lips, frowned, and suddenly seemed to remember something important: "Maybe there is someone who can help us."
"who?"
There was a final glimmer of hope in Liu's father's voice.
The Liu family members immediately raised their heads and locked their eyes on her. "Really? Who can save Linlin? No matter who this person is, as long as there is any hope, we will not give up and are willing to try!"
There was a gleam of anticipation in their eyes as they eagerly waited for Qiao Jin's answer.
Seeing this, Qiao Jin took a deep breath and tried to appear calm: "I will contact this friend and try to ask if I can help Linlin. Before that, I have fully understood Linlin's situation."
There was a hint of firmness and confidence in his words, which made the people around him feel a little comforted.
After saying this, without stopping for long, Qiao Jin quickly turned around and walked towards the gate, leaving behind a group of people staring at him, everyone hoping to hear good news.
Liu Dayang silently watched her back gradually disappear into the distance. Suddenly, he rushed out as if pushed by an invisible force, and shouted loudly: "Sister Qiao——"
Hearing the familiar and childish voice coming from behind, Qiao Jin stopped, slowly turned around and looked at Liu Dayang who was running over, and asked softly: "What happened, Dayang?"
The voice was full of tenderness and care.
The Liu Dayang standing in front of him was no longer tearful like before, but the slightly red circles under his eyes still told of his inner struggle not long ago.
"Sister Qiao..." His tone was gentle and sincere, "You don't have to feel burdened. We know you really want to help. In fact, our idea is very simple. We just hope to do everything we can to save your sister's life."
