Chapter 5: Ups and Downs

  "Sister, with Duan Lei in this state, is it possible that he really can't wake up?" As she walked out of the emergency building, thinking about Duan Lei's lifeless appearance still made Tang Lier feel like she couldn't catch her breath.

  "This is not absolute, the key depends on the subsequent treatment. If the treatment method is proper, there should be no big problem." Zhao Lin knew what Tang Lian was worried about and comforted her, saying: "The school will not let it go unchecked, you can rest assured."

  After graduating from high school, Zhao Lin had worked in society for a few years before taking the college entrance examination and was admitted to Haicheng University, which is also one of the legends of this year's freshmen at Haicheng University. Whether it's age or experience, they are not comparable to Tang Lier and others. During that time in the hospital earlier, she learned that Duan Lei was just a student from a rural area with an average family background. If Duan Lei remained unconscious, his family would definitely be unable to afford the expensive medical expenses.

  Zhao Lin was very clear that nowadays hospitals are all about making money, almost becoming a tool for profiteering, which is far from the original purpose of public hospitals, even the Second Affiliated Hospital of the university is no exception.

  Now that Tang Lier has testified, the school will likely classify Duan Lei as a hero who acted righteously and bravely, and his medical expenses will be taken care of.

  "Big sister, I want to go home! Can you guys stay here with me and wait for my family to come pick me up?" Tang Lier, who had almost never lived independently since she was a child, felt an unusual longing for home at this moment and made the request.

  "Uh-huh, you'd better hurry up and call home!" Looking at Tang Lier's pitiful appearance, Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.

  …………

  At the gate of the hospital, a black Audi appeared out of nowhere and quietly took Tang Lier away.

  Zhao Lin could vaguely see a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in the car, but she didn't get out of the car and had no idea who Tang Lier was.

  However, the Audi itself made Zhao Lin's imagination run wild - a small license plate from the Jinling Military Region, a high-end 3.6L A8, these were not things that ordinary people could use. Originally, Zhao Lin thought that Tang Li'er was just a rich young lady from Haicheng, but now it seemed that her identity was not so simple.

  Tang Lian'er didn't know that in just a short while, Zhao Lin, the eldest sister of the dormitory, had thought of so many things.

  Watching the red taillights of the Audi car disappear at the end of the long street, Zhao Lin hurriedly took her dormitory sisters back, after all, it was already close to twelve o'clock, and safety should still be taken seriously, even in school.

  After returning to the dormitory, the girls naturally took Duan Yue as the topic of conversation and started discussing.

  For these young girls who have just entered university, they still have very pure and beautiful illusions about love. Everyone is extremely envious of Tang Lier's experience. Perhaps in every girl's heart, she hopes to have a boy who rides on colorful clouds, appearing before her like a prince.

  In the future, if Duan Yue wakes up and can be with Tang Lulu, it will be a romantic thing.

  Just as several girls were talking with envy and admiration, Zhao Lin lying on the bed knew that it was just a beautiful wish.

  Judging from the car that came to pick up Tang Lian'er tonight, her family background is not simple!

  The love stories of rich girls and poor boys are often exaggerated, but the cruelty of reality is not something these young girls can imagine. Zhao Lin knew that if Duan Lei woke up without any thoughts for Tang Lian'er, things might just end there, but if he had foolish notions, it would be much harder to resolve.

  Duan Yue, still in a coma, had no idea that someone had already begun to worry about the relationship between him and HolleKitty.

  And another party was lying in a bedroom full of dreamy colors, with a red face, frowning her lovely eyebrows from time to time, and then smiling again.

  Perhaps it's true what they say: 'a woman's heart is as hard to find as a needle at the bottom of the ocean'.

  No words for one night!

  …………

  After getting up in the morning, Dashan got the CT results of Duan Lei from the doctor on duty and learned some disturbing news - there was a hematoma in Duan Lei's brain.

  Generally speaking, once there is a hematoma in the brain, most patients will fall into a coma and never wake up. Performing craniotomy to remove the hematoma also carries extremely high risks and has a low success rate.

  At this time, Dashan did not dare to take liberties, and hurriedly called Zhang Jiao's master, told him the situation, and asked him to rush to the hospital immediately.

  After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jiao rarely cursed a dirty word!

  For Zhang Jiao, this morning's news shattered his wonderful dreams of last night. A student might become a vegetable, and that would be a big deal!

  He didn't dare to slack off, and without even having breakfast, he hastily rode his bicycle to Er Fu Hospital. On the way, he told the dean of the Agricultural College, Zheng Kai Zhong, about the situation. The matter was too big, and it wasn't something that a small grade director like him could take responsibility for.

  Upon receiving a call from Zhang Jiu, Zheng Kai's good mood that morning instantly vanished as he drove to the Second Affiliated Hospital from home. These days, administrative work in schools is not easy either - there are the school leaders' controls from above, students with distinct personalities below, and in between, one has to handle various demands from faculty members. In his years as principal, Zheng Kai clearly felt that he had aged a lot - the hair on his forehead was becoming increasingly scarce, and even his own specialty had been almost abandoned; he no longer had time to mentor graduate students, and research projects were things of several years ago.

  It's okay, this student was injured while saving someone, not from fighting outside, which somewhat comforted Zheng Kai Zhong. After all, seeing justice and being brave is also strongly advocated in schools now, as long as it can match the spirit of superiors, bad things can become good things.

  Thinking of this, Zheng Kai's mood improved a lot, and he began to think about how to deal with the matter, in order to gain more benefits for himself.

  It has to be said that compared to Zheng Kai Zhong, Zhang Jiu Zhe still seems a bit immature. When faced with things, he is still at a loss for what to do, but Zheng Kai Zhong quickly discovers the value hidden within and starts thinking about how to solve the problem.

  Zheng Kai Zhong arrived at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhang Jiu Zhe and Zhou Cai were already waiting at the gate. After a few pleasantries, they entered the inpatient department in a line, discussing Duan Lei's condition and treatment plan in Zhou Cai's office.

  "Director Zheng, the hematoma in the patient's skull is quite large and it will be difficult to wait for it to dissolve naturally. The only solution is surgery!" Zhou said respectfully, pointing at the shadow image on the light wall.

  Zheng Kai Zhong is now just the dean of the Agricultural College, but he is young and vigorous, and may become a leader of Hainan University one day, so Zhou Zai also showed great respect for him.

  "If all else fails, Xiao Zhang, you immediately notify Duan Lei's family and let them come quickly!" After some deliberation, Zheng Kai Zhong made a decision.

  The risks of craniotomy are naturally self-evident and must be signed by the patient's family members before proceeding, otherwise, once a problem occurs, no one present can bear the responsibility!

  Just then, a nurse hastily pushed open the door of the office and cried out urgently: "Professor Zhou, the patient is awake!"
