Just as Lu Miao was about to start the acupuncture, the door of the hospital room was forcefully pushed open.
Dr. Zhang, accompanied by a nurse, hurriedly entered the room and his expression changed instantly upon seeing that all the devices had been removed. No wonder the nurses at the station were alarmed by the situation.
Seeing Lu Miao’s displeased expression, he exclaimed, “Why is it you again? Shen Muhan’s condition is still unstable and requires constant monitoring with the ventilator and other devices. Are you willing to take responsibility if
something goes wrong after you recklessly removed all the devices?”
Lu Miao glanced at him calmly and replied, “I take responsibility.”
Dr Zhang could only turn his head to look at Mrs Shen and Mr Shen. “Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, we understand that you don’t want to see Shen Muhuan in this condition. Our expert team, along with numerous domestic and international specialists, is actively seeking solutions. You must trust in science and modern medicine.”
Mrs Shen looked at him calmly and said,” I believed in you, science, and modern medicine. My son became like this.”
Dr Zhang choked.
“Mrs. Shen, every surgery carries risks, and there is no guarantee of 100% success. Shen Young Master’s current condition is one of the possible outcomes of the surgery. However, it is also uncertain whether he has absolutely no chance of recovery. Our expert team is exploring the feasibility of a second surgery…”
“No need, I trust her.”
Mrs Shen looked at Lu Miao with determination.” Lu Miao, you may begin.” Lu Miao nodded and began to perform acupuncture on Shen Muhan.
Her actions were decisive and straightforward, as smooth as flowing water.
Mrs Shen’s heart tightened as the needles were inserted.
She looked at Shen Muhan from time to time, afraid that she would miss any of his reactions.
Everyone in the ward held their breaths. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
In less than half an hour, Shen Muhan’s back was covered in needles.
As the last needle fell, Lu Miao’s face instantly paled.
If it was before Shen Muhan’s surgery, she would only need acupuncture and some specially formulated ointment.
But now, after the surgery, his nerve damage was even more serious and the range was even wider.
Simply relying on medical skills was no longer enough.
Every time she performed acupuncture, she injected a trace of her origin energy into the needle to help repair the damaged nerves.
Forty minutes later, Lu Miao removed the needles from Shen Muhan’s back.
Then, she asked Mrs Shen to take out the ointment that she had given her earlier and apply it to the corresponding acupuncture points before starting to massage them.
Shen Muhan, on the other hand, did not react at all. His eyes were closed as usual, and he lay there motionlessly.
Dr Zhang, who had been watching the entire process, sneered. “You used acupuncture, but it still didn’t work, did it? I advise you to stop before it causes any further complications and put the devices back on.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Muhan’s hand on the bedside suddenly moved.
Mrs Shen’s pupils constricted. She quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab his hand.
She said nervously,” Muhan, if you can hear me, can you move a little?”
That hand remained still for a moment, and just as she thought she had been mistaken, Shen Muhuan’s fingertips trembled again.
She burst into tears of joy instantly, and finally, excitement appeared on Mr Shen’s previously tense face.
“Lu Miao, does this mean Muhuan is starting to recover? How long will it take for him to regain consciousness?” She asked eagerly.
Lu Miao replied, “Uncle Shen, Aunty Shen, please don’t worry. He has only regained a slight level of consciousness for now. To fully recover and regain consciousness, we will have to see how his treatment progresses in the future.”
“It’s okay. No matter what, at least he can hear me now. Miss Lu, thank you, really thank you.”
As Mrs Shen spoke, tears of excitement fell from her eyes. She immediately pulled Mr Shen to kneel down in front of her.
The fact that he could hear and respond to her meant that Shen Muhan’s condition was improving.
No matter what the outcome was, they should thank her properly.
Lu Miao quickly reached out to stop them. ” Uncle Shen, Aunty Shen, you don’t have to do this. Shen Muhan is my friend too.”
Dr Zhang, who was standing behind them, had his expression changing again and again. He said in disbelief, “This…”How is this possible?”
They had a group of renowned experts, both domestic and international, studying for so long, and all the sophisticated medical equipment couldn’t find a solution. Yet, a few acupuncture needles were effective?
Hastily, he stepped forward and checked Shen Muhuan’s hand.
Unexpectedly, Shen Muhan’s hand, whose slightest movement had been difficult, suddenly scratched him with his fingernail.
Moreover, Shen Muhan used quite a bit of strength, leaving a red mark on his hand.
Mr Shen and Mrs Shen were stunned. What kind of grudge was this? He couldn’t move him, but he had to scratch him.
Dr. Zhang felt a burning sensation on his face and awkwardly withdrew his hand. He didn’t even have the courage to look at Lu Miao. After exchanging greetings with Shen’s parents, he left rather dejectedly.
It was getting late, so Lu Miao stayed behind to observe for a while. After confirming that Shen Muhan’s condition was stable, she left.
The two parents thanked her profusely, and Mr Shen insisted on driving her home personally.
It was already ten o’clock at night when they returned to the Lingyue Manor.
The house was completely dark, indicating that Gu Jinxi was not there.
Lu Miao assumed he had returned to the Gu residence because he found it boring here, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Her stomach growled in protest.
She took out her phone to order some takeout but noticed a bunch of missed calls and messages on her phone. Most of them were from Gu Ziheng, and there were a few from Gu Shiyan asking if she needed any help.
Apparently, she had forgotten to turn off the silent mode when she boarded the plane.
She directly called Gu Shiyan’s number to return his call.
The phone only rang once before it was immediately answered on the other end.
“Are you home after finishing everything?”
“Yeah, my phone was on silent this afternoon, so I didn’t see the messages,” Lu Miao explained.
“Alright, have you had dinner?”
“Not yet. I was just about to order takeout,” Lu Miao replied truthfully.
“Go freshen up and rest for a bit. I’ve already arranged for someone to bring you food.”
Perhaps due to the poor signal, Gu Shiyuan’s deep voice was accompanied by a faint electric current sound that reached Lu Miao’s ear through the phone receiver, making her heart unexpectedly flutter with an indescribable rhythm.
“Oh, okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Miao raised her hand and touched her slightly flushed earlobe before turning and going upstairs.
Once she finished freshening up, the food that Gu Shiyuan had arranged for someone to deliver had just arrived.
There was seafood porridge and some light stir-fried dishes suitable for dinner, with a combination of meat and vegetables, all of which were the types of food she liked.
After a day of running around, she felt a warm sensation as she drank the warm seafood porridge, and even her fatigue seemed to lessen.
