The doctor walked out and took off his face mask. As soon as the white-robed doctor came out, even Qi Le An couldn't help but stride towards him for detailed information.
"The operation is successful, but we still need to observe him for a few days," the doctor said that in a low voice and left. After the five-hour-long operation, one could tell the doctor was exhausted.
Although the woman had just slapped Sheng Chang'an, she didn't chase the doctor and pester him for more information. This showed she was a woman of culture and taste. The nurse then pushed Wei Chang Feng out. The woman looked at Wei Chang Feng and couldn't help but shed tears.
The bodyguards soon surrounded Wei Chang Feng and Qi Le An couldn't squeeze in. He could only see Wei Chang Feng through the gaps in the crowd. Wei Chang Feng was so pale, his hair had been shaved a lot, and he wore a net cover on his head.
Qi Le An had never seen Wei Chang Feng like this before. Wei Chang Feng had always been gentle yet strong, like the toughest fortress in the world. However, this fortress now was lying weakly in a sickbed, which made Qi Le An want to strike his face and feel his heartbeat.
The walls on the corridor were snow-white and the air smelled like disinfectant fluid. Chinese New Year was only two days away, there weren't many people in the hospital, plus it was an expensive private hospital, Qi Le An didn't have to worried about privacy.
Sheng Chang'an booked the best ward in the inpatient department and forced all the medical personnel to not reveal the news of Wei Chang Feng was staying here.
So far they weren't disturbed by anyone. Qi Le An followed the bodyguards to the ward, Wei Chang Feng was carried to the bed in the ward. The head nurse talked to Sheng Chang'an and comforted that woman, it turned out the woman was Wei Chang Feng's elder sister Wei Xin'an.
Although there were many people present, it was very quiet. The bodyguards were well-trained and the nurses also knew when to give the family members privacy.
"... The head injury is severe. We still need to observe, no one can be sure if there will be any sequelae or when he will come around. I'm deeply sorry, but I hope you can be mentally prepared for all the possibilities."
What the head nurse had said seemed to have crushed Wei Xin'an. She turned around and buried her head in Sheng Chang'an's arms. Sheng Chang'an said angrily, "No one can be sure? What's that supposed to mean?
"Mr. Sheng, we understand this is hard for you, and we are terribly sorry, we all hope Mr. Wei comes around as soon as possible. " the head nurse wasn't offended by Sheng Chang'an, she knew this must be devastating for Wei Chang Feng's family and friends. She had to force herself to tell them.
Qi Le An clenched his fists, his fingernails stabbing into the flesh, leaving traces of blood.
"There is a leg fracture, but that's not the problem, the problem is there is a blood clot in his brain. We need to make sure he does checkups and takes his medicine regularly after he comes round."
The head nurse left after she told Sheng Chang'an and Wei Xin'an the hard cold reality, the bodyguards retreated outside as well. Even Gary was gone. Apart from Wei Chang Feng who was lying in bed unconsciously, there were only Wei Chang Feng's two family members and Qi Le An in the ward.
Qi Le An walked to Wei Chang Feng's bed and slowly bent down. Then he touched Wei Chang Feng's hand with his trembling fingers.
Wei Chang Feng's hand was warm as usual. Qi Le An suddenly grasped the hand as though he had just regained his senses.
He was a person who had died once. Knowing that Wei Chang Feng's soul could still hear them even though he was unconscious right now, he looked around for a moment and shouted in a trembling voice, "Wei Sama, Wei Sama, wake up!"
Hearing that, Sheng Chang'an and Wei Xin'an both looked at Wei Chang Feng, and Wei Xin'an also shouted, "Chang Feng, wake up. We are all waiting for you, my little brother, please wake up!"
However, Wei Chang Feng did not react at all.
Wei Chang Feng didn't wake up that night or the next day.
Qi Le An didn't leave Wei Chang Feng's ward that night, he didn't sleep all night. Nor did
Wei Chang Feng's sister.
Everything made sense now. Sheng Chang'an was just Wei Chang Feng's brother-in-law, that was why they were so close. Sheng Chang'an and Wei Xin'an childhood sweethearts. To him, Wei Chang Feng was just like a little brother.
At first, Sheng Chang'an also wanted to keep them company that night, but he had too much to do. Plus, Wei Xin'an insisted that she would be fine by herself, so Sheng Chang'an went back to his company.
Qi Le An insisted on staying as well, neither Sheng Chang'an nor Wei Xin'an had the energy to socialize with him, they were both too devastated to say anything.
A bodyguard brought lunch the next day. Wei Xin'an forced herself to take a few bites and then she started to cry. Tears streamed down her face as she murmured, "I'm having my lunch now, but my little brother..."
Sheng Chang'an wasn't there and the bodyguards didn't know how to comfort her. Qi Le An was silent for a moment and then he said, "If you don't eat, he will be worried."
When Wei Xin'an heard this, she nodded in silence. Then she wiped the tears streaming down her face and forced herself to take a few more bites.
The next night, after the doctor went through the examination, he said that the situation was not very optimistic.
Wei Chang Feng was in a coma. Qi Le An learned from the e nurses' conversation that Wei Chang Feng was hit by a hurtling car and his head landed on the windshield, hence the leg fracture and the severe blood clot in his brain.
"He should be awake within 24 hours after the operation," the doctor said, "But now he is still..."
Wei Xin'an's lips trembled as she asked, "My brother, will my brother become a vegetative person?"
Qi Le An's heart sank as he heard that, he felt painful to even think about that possibility.
'What if Wei Sama really became a vegetative person? Even if he really became a vegetative person, I will spend my whole life taking care of him.'
The doctor showed a faint smile and consoled Wei Xin'an, "It's still early to say that. There are still many tests to be done. Don't worry."
Wei Xin'an's face was still covered with deep lines of care after the doctor said that.
Sheng Chang'an had returned not long after the doctor left the ward.
"The matter has been thoroughly investigated. I will definitely avenge Chang Feng. Don't worry."
Wei Xin'an shook her head and said bitterly, "When I first heard Chang Feng was hit b a car, I want all the murderers to die. Now, but now I just want my brother to wake up, I can't even be bothered to think about anyone else."
Sheng Chang'an pursed his lips and said softly, "I'll keep him company tonight. You should go rest tonight, okay?"
Wei Xin'an shook her head stubbornly.
Sheng Chang'an was helpless, then he looked at Qi Le An who was sitting silently beside him, and said, "If you don't rest, An will also refuse to rest. Take him to the hotel and have a good night's sleep. The two of you can come back tomorrow morning, so we can take turns. What do you think?"
At this moment, Wei Xin'an looked at Qi Le An with hesitation in her eyes.
She knew about Qi Le An. Wei Chang Feng had mentioned Qi Le An quite a few times, he had even said to introduce him to her. But she didn't expect to meet Qi Le An in such a situation.
Wei Xin'an finally agreed with Sheng Chang'an for she didn't have the heart to see Qi Le An having no sleep for two straight days.
Qi Le An didn't want to leave the ward, but he didn't resist too much for he wanted to take care of Wei Xin'an for his Wei Sama. After exchanging a look with Sheng Chang'an subtly, he followed Wei Xin'an out.
The hospital smelled like disinfectant fluid, including Wei Chang Feng's ward. Wei Xin'an said her brother liked the fragrance of flowers, so she bought fresh flowers and put them in the ward by Wei Chang Feng's bed.
The fragrance of the flowers quickly overpowered the smell of disinfectant fluid, as if trying to cover up the fact that this was a ward.
Wei Xin'an was already very tired, but her nerves were tense. The two of them walked out of the hospital and got into the car. When the driver saw them get in, he didn't utter a single word, he knew they'd appreciate it if he left them alone.
Wei Xin'an leaned back in her seat, pressing her head.
A moment later, she forced a smile at Qi Le An and said, "Please allow me to say a thank you on Chang Feng's behalf."
Wei Xin'an bore a striking resemblance to Wei Chang Feng. They both have gorgeous and warm features, Wei Chang Feng was a perfect gentleman and Wei Xin'an was an elegant lady.
"Don't force yourself to smile if you're sad," Qi Le An said.
When he said this, he had an expression that did not match his young age. Wei Xin'an was surprised to hear such sophisticated words from a young boy.
However, Qi Le An's thoughts were very simple. If he were required to smile now, it would definitely be painful for him.
Wei Xin'an glanced at Qi Le An and said, "You're a good child."
Both of them were tired, physically and mentally, so they didn't say anything more.
That was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole city was quiet because everyone was home preparing for New Year's Eve. The driver escorted the two of them to the entrance of the hotel, where a doorman was ready to lead them.
Actually, Wei Xin'an was from City B, so there was no need for her to stay in the hotel with Qi Le An. She felt sorry to leave the boy alone, so she checked into the hotel with Qi Le An.
It was a five-star hotel, just ten minutes from the private hospital.
Sheng Chang'an arranged the two best rooms for them. Both of them were exhausted, so they didn't make any small after they checked in.
Qi Le An pulled himself unsteadily from the door to the bathroom and took a shower. Then he took out a strand of hair from his pocket.
He didn't have time to do anything else, he just put the hair under the pillow and forced himself to fall asleep.
The doctor said external stimulus could help wake up someone in a coma. So he and Wei Xin'an had spent their day talking to Wei Chang Feng when they were in the hospital, but Wei Chang Feng didn't react at all.
'It looks like external stimulus isn't working, can I try internal stimulus?' thought Qi Le An.
'If I use the system to create a dream for Wei Sama, if this dream is exciting enough, will Wei Sama wake up?'
This was a wild guess, but he had to try it.
He refused to let go of any chance to wake Wei Chang Feng up.
