When people are nervous, they don't realize their voices are trembling. When Shu Ying asked Xie Zhiyan about his situation, there was a slight, barely perceptible sob in her voice.
She had considered the worst possible outcome countless times, but she simply couldn't accept it.
She stared nervously at the doctor, wanting him to give her a good answer.
Dr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained Xie Zhiyan's current condition to Shu Ying.
"Currently, the patient's condition has stabilized, and it can be confirmed that he is out of danger. However, because his previous injuries were too severe, he already had a persistent high fever, and now he has suffered a violent head injury and inhaled a large amount of smoke. He currently has lung problems."
Shu Ying nodded. As a medical student, she knew Xie Zhiyan's current condition and how difficult it was to save his life.
A persistent high fever can impair bodily functions, which explains why Wang Zhande was so emotional when he mentioned that Xie Zhiyan hadn't even had his injuries treated before going back to them.
Shu Ying's tears fell without warning: "When will he wake up?"
Xie Zhiyan suffered a severe head injury, which was Shu Ying's biggest worry.
Generally, head injuries are much more complicated.
Dr. Liu's eyes were bloodshot; another surgery awaited him.
He looked at Shu Ying and said tactfully, "Although the surgery has been performed, we can guarantee that it will not affect his physical functions. As for when he will wake up, the hospital cannot make a judgment."
Xie Zhiyan suffered too many injuries, so these superficial wounds on his body became the most inconspicuous minor injuries.
Shu Ying's expression was already somewhat dazed, and he couldn't be too explicit right now.
If Shuying were told directly that she was unsure whether the patient would regain consciousness quickly in the short term, she would most likely not be able to handle it.
For now, we can only transfer Xie Zhiyan to a regular ward and observe him in the hospital for a period of time.
"Although he is still in a coma, he should be able to feel external stimuli after a while. If his family can talk to him more, he might wake up faster."
This was the doctor's tactful way of putting it, and Shu Ying understood what he meant.
Dr. Liu gave a few more brief instructions and then hurriedly moved on to the next surgery.
A commotion erupted in the hallway, but Shu Ying couldn't hear anything anymore.
All her attention was focused on Xie Zhiyan, her eyes blurred with tears as she stared at the person lying on the hospital bed.
Xie Zhiyan's face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. He was not the same as when he left.
Shu Ying gently stroked the man's hair with one hand: "Xie Zhiyan, didn't you say you would definitely come back to find me when you left? I've waited for you for so long, but you didn't come. Now that I've brought the children here, why are you just staying here and not getting up?"
She sniffed, and warm tears fell onto Xie Zhiyan's hand.
His hair was a bit longer than when he left, and his appearance hadn't changed much, except that he looked a bit more mature than when the two of them had just gotten married.
The man's features appeared even more resolute due to the scar on his forehead. In fact, from the first time they met, Shu Ying had nothing to complain about Xie Zhiyan's face.
