Qi Yanjing stood outside the emergency department, listening to the hurried footsteps of the medical staff and the ticking of countless instruments.
Xu Jue was lying on the hospital bed, his face paler than the sheets under him. The doctor quickly put on an oxygen mask for him, and the buttons of his shirt on his chest were unbuttoned, revealing his pale and thin chest.
Doctors and nurses came and went, sometimes blocking Qi Yanjing's sight, and sometimes leaving a little gap, Qi Yanjing could see Xu Jue's lifeless face from it.
In a tense environment, all sounds appear intermittent.
"On ECG monitoring, intravenous injection of 5 mg of dexamethasone..."
"Blood pressure 80/45, heart rate 45, blood oxygen 80..."
"Epinephrine 0.5 mg intramuscularly...and dexamethasone 5 mg intravenously..."
"Blood oxygen is still falling, heart rate is 40, blood pressure can't be measured!"
"drop--!"
Suddenly, a sharp alarm came from the monitor connected to Xu Jue, followed by a nurse's nervously raised voice: "The patient is in cardiac arrest!"
"Get CPR! Call the ICU for emergency consultation!"
Listening to the movement inside, Qi Yanjing tensed up to the extreme, and her eyes went dark for a moment.
One of the doctors in the emergency room was quickly activating the defibrillator, and the rest of them took turns giving Xu Jue chest compressions.Qi Yanjing stood outside stiffly, as if she couldn't even breathe.
A nurse stepped forward to push them out, speaking quickly and urgently: "The family members are waiting outside!"
Swah——
The blue curtain was drawn, and the last thing Qi Yanjing saw was the picture of the doctor sticking the cold defibrillator to Xu Jue's chest.
Xu Jue was so thin, the big defibrillator seemed to cover his entire chest, Qi Yanjing's nose suddenly felt sore.
Soon, three or four doctors in white coats ran out of the elevator, and when they passed by Qi Yanjing, they brought a gust of wind and directly opened the curtain to enter.
After a while, Xu Jue was pushed into the emergency room.
Two hours later, the rescue was over, and he was sent to the intensive care unit for observation. In less than an hour, the monitor screamed frantically again, and Xu Jue was pushed into the emergency room again.
But this time, it was far longer than two hours.
Qi Yanjing sat on the chair closest to the door of the rescue room, with her elbows resting on her legs and her fingers clasped, her back arched deeply, her shoulder blades tensed like a beast that was about to attack at any time, but was full of The steel and iron-framed city wall was firmly pressed down and could not move.
This place is completely different from the noisy emergency department, it is very quiet, unusually quiet, so quiet that one can hear the sound of Zhang Chang's teeth chattering.
On the opposite side of Qi Yanjing is the large floor-to-ceiling glass in the corridor, one can almost see the entire hospital, and even the towering office buildings in the distance.
He didn't check the time, but the sun was high in the sky when Xu Jue rescued him for the second time. He saw the sun slowly sinking towards the west, but Xu Jue didn't come out.
After the glow filled the sky and the setting sun was like blood, Xu Jue still remained silent.
Finally, the sky turned dark blue, the neon lights of the city came on, and the door of the emergency room was opened from the inside.
The doctor wearing a mask came out, holding a folder in his hand, Qi Yanjing got up almost instantly and looked inside, but he didn't see Xu Jue at all.
The surgical gown on the doctor's chest was slightly wet with sweat: "Xu Jue's family?"
Qi Yanjing looked back: "I am."
Zhang Chang tremblingly stood beside Qi Yanjing: "Here it is!"
The doctor glanced between the two of them: "What's your relationship with him?"
Zhang Chang said anxiously, "I'm his assistant!"
Qi Yanjing said in a deep voice, "I am his lover."
The doctor looked at Qi Yanjing twice, and then asked: "Where are the immediate family members? Are his parents there? Can you sign this critical illness notice for him?"
"Sick... critically ill?" Zhang Chang was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and suddenly cried out loud.
When Qi Yanjing heard the word "critically ill", her heart contracted violently as if she had been slapped in the head.But the mood was flustered to the extreme, but the thoughts became inexplicably clear.
He closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely calm: "He has no relatives, I will sign the form, and I will fully cooperate in everything."
The doctor looked at Zhang Chang who was sitting on the ground crying with paralyzed eyes, and knew that he was not responsible, so he nodded to Qi Yanjing and led him aside to quickly explain the situation.
Qi Yanjing listened very carefully, one by one strange and scary words hit the eardrums, his lips were tightly pressed all the time, his expression didn't change at all.
If it weren't for the trembling of the tip of the pen when signing, and his knuckles turning white with force, others would not even feel his emotional fluctuations.
He returned the critical illness notice to the doctor with a restrained and solemn tone: "Please save him."
The doctor took it and nodded: "We will do our best."
The emergency room door closed again, Qi Yanjing lowered her head and wiped her face, her mind went blank, as if in a dream.
Cen Huai, who was discussing business with Xu Jue out of town, received the news and rushed back to the nearest flight. Her delicate curly hair was knotted by the wind, and with high heels in her hand, she got off the taxi and ran barefoot to the emergency room. the door.
"What, what's the matter..." She ran out of breath.
As soon as the doctor came in with the notice of critical illness, Zhang Chang wept uncontrollably, Qi Yanjing's eyes were scarlet and he didn't say a word.
Cen Huai looked at the cold door of the emergency room, his hands trembled, and his high-heeled shoes fell to the ground.
The night in the city seems to have no end. No matter what time it is, the lights of the streets and office buildings are always bright, and the vehicles on the elevated road are constantly flowing.
I don't know how long it took before the doctor came out again, took off his hat and mask, and smiled with relief on his tired face: "I've been rescued."
Cen Huai raised his eyebrows, tears welled up in his eyes, he raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Thank you...thank you doctor..."
Zhang Chang suddenly lost his strength and almost fainted with a smile.
Qi Yanjing's fist, which had been tightened for a whole day, finally loosened a little.
"Please, may I ask the doctor, can we, can we see him..." Cen Huai sobbed.
The doctor shook his head: "The patient has to be transferred to the ICU for observation, and we can't visit him for the time being. Our nurses will closely monitor his condition. The family members will pay the fee first, and then they can go home to make adjustments, and then prepare some things for hospitalization."
"Okay, okay..." Cen Huai nodded repeatedly.
The doctor looked at them again and asked, "Was anyone with the patient when he became ill?"
Qi Yanjing and Zhang Chang looked at each other: "We are here."
"Okay," the doctor nodded, "you come with me."
"But..." Zhang Chang desperately wanted to take a look at Xu Jue.
Cen Huai patted him on the shoulder: "Go, I'll pay the fee first, if you can't visit me, just watch outside, don't worry."
Qi Yanjing said: "Listen to her."
Zhang Chang hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Okay."
The two followed the doctor into the office, the doctor put on a white coat and sat behind the desk, Qi Yanjing and Zhang Chang sat down opposite.
The doctor's tone was unhurried: "The patient suffered from shock caused by severe allergies today, which was relieved after rescue, but he had a cold and pharyngitis, and severe allergies caused lung infection to be rescued again. Currently, he has been transferred to the ICU and his vital signs are stable."
Qi Yanjing nodded, most of the cases he had already been told when he was in critical condition.
The doctor has transferred Xu Jue's medical records, flipped through the computer, and said, "I called your family members here, just to ask, has the patient eaten or been exposed to allergens today?"
Qi Yanjing looked at Zhang Chang.
"No..." Zhang Chang murmured, then his eyes lit up and he remembered: "Yes, someone poured a glass of milk on his hand today, could it be this?"
"Milk?" The doctor narrowed his eyes: "According to his past medical records, the patient's allergic reaction to milk is not serious. The specific manifestation is that drinking the common 245ml canned pure milk on the market will cause mild stomach pain or vomiting. Condition?"
Zhang Chang nodded again and again: "Yes! That's it!"
"That's not right," the doctor pushed his glasses: "It's just that milk is not so severe that it can cause shock. Think about it, is there nothing else? The only thing in the medical record that can cause such a serious situation is peanuts. He has not been exposed to peanuts recently. products?"
Zhang Chang was really stunned for a while, searching carefully in his mind, but found nothing: "This, this is really gone... We cook all the food and drink for him. We all know that the thing is powerful and we never touch it. Also be very careful, you shouldn't..."
"If it is determined that the patient was passively exposed to the allergen without knowing it," the doctor paused, "then I may suggest that you call the police. His situation is almost life-threatening."
Qi Yanjing's face darkened.
Zhang Chang was startled, and his expression suddenly became very scary: "You, you mean someone..."
The doctor clasped his fingers on the table: "I'm just giving a suggestion. Now that the matter is serious but the situation is vague, maybe it will be more reassuring to hand it over to the police for investigation? Of course, this is just my personal opinion."
Zhang Chang licked his lips, rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea: "Doctor, if you grind peanuts into powder and mix them in milk, would it be so serious?"
The doctor thought for a while: "Theoretically, it is possible."
"But I didn't eat it in my mouth, but I just splashed it on my hands?"
The doctor laughed: "The patient's allergic reaction to peanuts is quite serious, and it is entirely possible."
"We have come across a case before. A mother took her sick son to see a doctor. At that time, penicillin was widely used. Before the injection, a skin test for the son showed no allergic reaction, so the injection was given. On the way home on the bus, the son pissed on his mother's lap, and the mother was severely allergic to penicillin, and died of suffocation on the spot due to edema of the throat."
"They couldn't seek medical treatment quickly on the bus at that time, but you were lucky in misfortune, and you were rescued just in the hospital when you fell ill."
·
After they came out of the office, the two of them didn't speak, and felt chills in their hearts.
Zhang Chang couldn't help it, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, that grandson Nie Chengyi must have done it! My family, Xu Jue, has no other enemies!"
Qi Yanjing's face was terribly dark, and she asked Zhang Chang, "Have you seen the man who poured milk during the day?"
"He..." Zhang Chang suppressed his anger and thought about it carefully: "He is wearing a mask, but I'm sure I haven't seen it, he is someone I don't know."
Qi Yanjing nodded.
It doesn't matter if it's a face or not. Nie Chengyi really wants to hire someone casually. After all, almost no one thinks that being splashed with milk can kill them.
Qi Yanjing took a deep breath and pressed Zhang Chang's shoulder: "Call the police."
"Okay!" Zhang Chang immediately took out his mobile phone, and anger flowed from every button press.
When it was time to visit, Cen Huai collected things at home, Zhang Chang went to the police station to take notes, Qi Yanjing changed into a sterile suit and was led by a nurse into the ICU.
This is the first time in his life that he has stepped into this place.
It was very quiet inside, except for the ticking sound of the monitor.The temperature was obviously suitable, but there was a frightening chill surging inexplicably.
Xu Jue was lying on the hospital bed plugged into a ventilator, her forehead hair spread out to reveal her delicate eyebrows, her cheeks were white, and only the black eyelash feathers cast a shadow under her eyes, like a blurred ink painting.
He lay there quietly, his chest was covered with monitoring instruments, and there were several bruises on his snow-white skin, which should have been left by cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the rescue.
Qi Yanjing felt her heart throbbing just by looking at it, and she didn't even know where to touch Xu Jue, so she could only sit cautiously on the side.
Even at this time, Xu Jue was extremely beautiful, a thin piece was sunk deep in the bedding, like a quiet and beautiful but lifeless expensive plant.
Qi Yanjing's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a whole day, finally had a place to rest when he saw Xu Jue with his own eyes, and the emotions that had been suppressed all day also collapsed at this moment, and came out like a flood.
He lightly stroked the quilt on Xu's body, and then held it tightly, so hard that his knuckles turned white, half of his body was on his hands, and the other half was desperately restrained.
Restrain yourself not to hug Xu Jue, don't hurt Xu Jue.
He bowed his head deeply, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Really, it hurts so much.
