Chapter 128

The girl paused, holding the phone up to her face, staring at the large 110 number on the screen... "Uh, wrong number, sorry." Hua Xin quickly hung up and dialed 119 again, only relaxing slightly after receiving confirmation that the address was correct. "By the way, if the patient's breathing is unstable, you can try artificial respiration to maintain it. The ambulance is leaving soon..." "Okay, okay..." Hua Xin, who was readily agreeing, suddenly froze, looking at the shattered phone screen where the call had ended. She hesitated, repeating softly, "Artificial...respiration?" Her gaze instantly shifted to Xia Yan lying on the ground, seemingly unharmed as the veteran examined her... Her already anxious heart flushed a faint pink at the word. She should be alright... Xia Yan's breathing was steady... But before she could reassure herself for even a second longer, a frantic voice in front of her struck her like a thunderbolt. "Oh no..." "Young lady! Your boyfriend's breathing is weakening!!" "Huh????????? 105. Xia Yan, give me back my hard-earned money? Years later, when Hua Xin recalled the night she fainted and was admitted to the emergency room due to her argument with Xia Yan, she would kick him twice with her jade feet and shout angrily, "Give me back my hard-earned money???!!" ———————— The veterans were very helpful, almost smoothly and carefully placing Xia Yan into the ambulance. They were also very generous, offering to waive the meal for Hua Xin, who was about to cry, as long as she was alright. But the girl sitting in the ambulance was somewhat dazed as the doors were closing, thinking about the untouched skewers of grilled meat on the table, waiting to be packed up. Regret for not eating a bite. jpg. The ambulance arrived quickly. Although Xia Yan kept his brows tightly closed, the situation wasn't as bad as Hua Xin had expected. In her haste, the girl didn't forget to put her hood back on, following the stretcher into the ambulance. After Xia Yan got into the ambulance, her anxious heart gradually calmed down. The ambulance was quiet, with only the accompanying medical staff and her. Oh, not including Xia Yan, who was covered in various unknown medical devices for monitoring her heartbeat and pulse. The terrifying events she had seen in the video, like the black ambulance incident, hadn't happened. The medical staff even kept reassuring the girl. "It'll be alright... things like terminal illness, cancer, amnesia, vegetative state, myocardial infarction, sudden death, hippocampal rupture, narcolepsy, cervical cancer, or suddenly being transported to 2D— the survival rates for these kinds of illnesses are all uncertain... Could it really have happened?!" "It's okay, at least you're not dead."Hua Xin's heart skipped a beat, her face, which had just recovered, turned deathly pale, and she swallowed the words she was about to say to the medical staff. "No way... Lao Xia, don't do this! If you die, I won't live either! Anyway, manslaughter is punishable by imprisonment and taking the Purple Pill, I might as well just go to the 2D with you! Good brothers don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but they ask to die on the same day, month, and year! Remember to save a beautiful girl for me, I want a sharp-tongued black long straight hair." Perhaps seeing the heavy atmosphere, the medical staff, noticing the girl's silence, assumed her comfort wasn't sincere enough, so she gave an awkward laugh and continued, "Don't worry, there won't be any cases of someone becoming a vegetable and never waking up." "Modern medicine is excellent; even if someone does become a vegetable, there's a chance to save them." "Don't worry, hahaha... "Hua Xin: "..." The girl's small hands, tucked into her sleeves, slowly clenched into fists. Her body, which had been slightly chilly due to the cold night, was now drenched in sweat. The laughter of the medical staff trying to ease the atmosphere wouldn't have been a big deal under normal circumstances; after all, it was just laughter. But to Hua Xin, it sounded like the death knell of the King of Hell. "Vegetative... person?... Hahaha) Uh, vegetative person????" "Just fainting shouldn't have turned into this, right?" "What's the definition of a vegetative person again? A person's limbs grow into tree trunks and are buried in the soil to photosynthesize, occasionally receiving a long-awaited nourishment from a passing drunkard, right?"...After switching search engines in her mind, Hua Xin once again verified the true definition of a vegetative person. That is... lying in bed for a lifetime, unable to even... "A tonic!!!"Hua Xin, her heart heavy, imagined being sentenced by the judge to spend the rest of her life caring for Xia Yan, tending to him by his bedside... Although it was her duty, she didn't want to see Xia Yan like this! "You two are friends, right? Sigh, it's so late at night, and you end up in the hospital..." "That's really bad luck. It shouldn't be because he took cephalosporin and drank alcohol, right?" "Uh." The girl's face, hidden behind a mask and hood, froze.?. Cephalosporin... with alcohol? Even though she was somewhat lacking in common sense due to frequent internet use, she knew these two things couldn't possibly be combined. It was like gasoline dripping everywhere meeting its lighter. The flame would surely illuminate and warm the little girl clutching a burnt-out match in the winter, waiting for the cold night to pass. And Xia Yan would naturally be in the stove... Wait!!! What are you thinking?! The girl slapped her thigh, forcing herself to wake up. The medical staff seemed to realize the inappropriateness of their words and hurriedly said to her, "Don't worry..."Hua Xin looked up with teary eyes, her gaze fixed on Xia Yan lying there. After dispelling her unrealistic fantasies, a hope slowly rose in her heart... "There shouldn't be anything more serious happening. What I was thinking just now was just a general assumption." "Clatter."Hua Xin froze, then lowered her head in silence. Something seemed to have shattered... After being rushed to the hospital from the ambulance, Hua Xin stayed close to Xia Yan. Looking at his still tightly closed eyes, a sense of dread rose in the girl's heart. If Xia Yan really did what he told the paramedics in the ambulance... Tears welled up in Hua Xin's eyes again. Did she not want to live either? "Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor? Doctor, please come and save him..." the girl choked out, looking around for a doctor. Who was she? Where was she? Was this the fire station or the hospital? Had the ambulance gone to the wrong place? This shouldn't be a funeral home or crematorium... "Calm down, child, your friend is alright." An elderly man in a white coat calmly removed his stethoscope from the girl's ear and spoke to her in a composed tone. A considerable amount of time had passed, and she had been dazedly following the doctors and nurses, still occasionally confused. "Is she alright?" Catching the key phrase, Hua Xin instantly snapped back to reality. She grabbed the old man's arm and pleaded, her voice choked with emotion, "Doctor... no, miracle doctor, you must save my friend!"
