Chapter 519 - The Probability of Waking Up was One in a 100,000
Chapter 519: The Probability of Waking Up was One in a 100,000
After her mother’s death, she knew that if a person could not be resuscitated, their face would be completely covered by a white cloth. However, that was not the case for Shen Lanzhi.
For a moment, Zuo Weiyi’s heart got excited.
However, the doctor’s next words pushed her into a bottomless abyss, a swamp of darkness without any light!
“The injured person received the impact of the explosion, and her head also received a huge blow. Although she survived, in the future…”
Seeing the increasingly pale face in front of him, the doctor could not help but hesitate as he spoke, afraid that she would not be able to bear the news.
However, the truth still had to be said.
And she already had a strongly feeling what it was.
“I’m afraid that she’ll be lying on the hospital bed forever—she’s brain dead[1].”
Brain dead?
When she heard these words, Zuo Weiyi’s brain felt like it had been hit by something.
Brain dead. This was the first time she had heard of this word.
Shouldn’t these things only exist in dramas[2]?
What did it mean?
“Brain dead…What does it mean?”
“She’s in a state similar to a vegetative state. Usually, the probability of a person in a vegetative state gaining consciousness is not low. However, those who are brain dead have a probability of… one in 100,000.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Weiyi was shocked as if she had been electrocuted.
One in 100,000?
“You mean, she might… never wake up?” Tears rolled down uncontrollably again as she felt her heart torn apart.
The doctor exhaled heavily and nodded. “Yes, although her heart is still beating and she is still breathing, she can’t sense anything.”
In vegetative states, many people had subconscious hearing and feelings, so the chances of her waking up were not low.
“Hey, miss!”
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he saw that Zuo Weiyi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly felt her legs go weak and was about to collapse. Fortunately, he reached out his hand and held her up.
At that moment, she looked so pale and powerless, like a walking corpse. She had lost her soul and was only left with her body.
At that moment, a slight vibration suddenly came from her wrist. Then, the doctor saw a pink light suddenly shine on the exquisite watch.
Zuo Weiyi looked down. The moment she saw the pink light, her heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of swords! It was so painful that she could not breathe.
She did not dare to press on the pink gem. She knew that on the other side of the voice system was Shi Yuting.
But in the end, she still pressed it.
“Weiyi?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Zuo Weiyi felt her heart ache even more, almost tearing her apart.
The call was connected, but Zuo Weiyi did not make a sound. She tried hard to hold back her sobs, but in the end, she could not.
Shi Yuting’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he did not hear her voice. Then, he heard her sobs through the call – they were faint but gradually grew louder.
“What’s wrong?”
There was clearly a trace of anxiety and concern in his voice, but this hurt her even more. The guilt and helplessness in her heart was on the verge of exploding!
“I’m sorry… Shi Yuting… I’m sorry!”
She sobbed, and her helpless sobs echoed through the silent corridor. Some people who occasionally passed by could not help but stop and look in surprise as she cried so miserably!
[1] The original text is 活死人 which literally translates to the living dead/zombie, which sounded a bit weird for a doctor to say… So I decided to go with brain dead instead
[2] The original text translated to Wuxia novels, which I assume makes sense if 活死人 was translated as a zombie/living dead. But since it was translated as brain dead, which is not that supernatural to be limited to Wuxia novels, I decided to just go with ‘dramas’
