Chapter 74 Shu Ying held Xie Zhiyan's hand tightly.

When people are nervous, they don't realize their voices are trembling. When Shu Ying asked Xie Zhiyan about his situation, there was a slight, barely perceptible sob in her voice.

She had considered the worst possible outcome countless times, but she simply couldn't accept it.

She stared nervously at the doctor, wanting him to give her a good answer.

Dr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained Xie Zhiyan's current condition to Shu Ying.

"Currently, the patient's condition has stabilized, and it can be confirmed that he is out of danger. However, because his previous injuries were too severe, he already had a persistent high fever, and now he has suffered a violent head injury and inhaled a large amount of smoke. He currently has lung problems."

Shu Ying nodded. As a medical student, she knew Xie Zhiyan's current condition and how difficult it was to save his life.

A persistent high fever can impair bodily functions, which explains why Wang Zhande was so emotional when he mentioned that Xie Zhiyan hadn't even had his injuries treated before going back to them.

Shu Ying's tears fell without warning: "When will he wake up?"

Xie Zhiyan suffered a severe head injury, which was Shu Ying's biggest worry.

Generally, head injuries are much more complicated.

Dr. Liu's eyes were bloodshot; another surgery awaited him.

He looked at Shu Ying and said tactfully, "Although the surgery has been performed, we can guarantee that it will not affect his physical functions. As for when he will wake up, the hospital cannot make a judgment."

Xie Zhiyan suffered too many injuries, so these superficial wounds on his body became the most inconspicuous minor injuries.

Shu Ying's expression was already somewhat dazed, and he couldn't be too explicit right now.

If Shuying were told directly that she was unsure whether the patient would regain consciousness quickly in the short term, she would most likely not be able to handle it.

For now, we can only transfer Xie Zhiyan to a regular ward and observe him in the hospital for a period of time.

"Although he is still in a coma, he should be able to feel external stimuli after a while. If his family can talk to him more, he might wake up faster."

This was the doctor's tactful way of putting it, and Shu Ying understood what he meant.

Dr. Liu gave a few more brief instructions and then hurriedly moved on to the next surgery.

A commotion erupted in the hallway, but Shu Ying couldn't hear anything anymore.

All her attention was focused on Xie Zhiyan, her eyes blurred with tears as she stared at the person lying on the hospital bed.

Xie Zhiyan's face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. He was not the same as when he left.

Shu Ying gently stroked the man's hair with one hand: "Xie Zhiyan, didn't you say you would definitely come back to find me when you left? I've waited for you for so long, but you didn't come. Now that I've brought the children here, why are you just staying here and not getting up?"

She sniffed, and warm tears fell onto Xie Zhiyan's hand.

His hair was a bit longer than when he left, and his appearance hadn't changed much, except that he looked a bit more mature than when the two of them had just gotten married.

The man's features appeared even more resolute due to the scar on his forehead. In fact, from the first time they met, Shu Ying had nothing to complain about Xie Zhiyan's face.

She loved all beautiful things. Although she disliked the days when she and her husband were often apart, she had to admit that Xie Zhiyan's face was indeed to her liking.

“Xie Zhiyan, you’re a father now, you can’t be so shameless. Yangyang already has a problem with you. If you keep lying here, he definitely won’t call you Dad. I won’t give you much time. If you’re not awake by tomorrow, I’ll take the child and leave. I guarantee you won’t be able to find us then.”

Shu Ying's voice grew increasingly choked with emotion, and as she gently placed her hands on the wounds on his face, her tears became even more uncontrollable.

From the moment they met, he seemed to have an old-fashioned and domineering demeanor.

He seemed to anticipate everything, calmly protecting everyone like a reassuring tree.

His face was pale; he just lay there quietly.

Everything outside was irrelevant to him; he wouldn't respond to anyone's words, and his smooth features remained unchanged from a few years ago.

She never expected that the two of them would meet again in this way.

Looking at Xie Zhiyan's familiar expression, Shu Ying realized that he didn't seem to be unconscious; he appeared to be simply fast asleep.

He seemed about to wake up any second, and politely called out her full name.

The person who had just been wheeled out of the operating room was still unresponsive. Shu Ying wiped away her tears with one hand and forced herself to cheer up.

The most urgent task is to give Xie Zhiyan the spiritual spring water as soon as possible, and see if it will be more beneficial to him than ordinary medicine.

When Li Qingqing was seriously ill in the hospital, it was this water that helped her recover.

Although their situations are quite different, the spiritual spring water is nourishing and can quickly restore physical strength, so it will be of some help.

Shu Ying held Xie Zhiyan's hand tightly, and his face gradually became familiar.

The first meeting between the two people who had lost contact for a long time turned out to be so thrilling.

Xie Zhiyan's wounds had been treated, but his forehead was still a little hot. Shu Ying sniffed.

If Xie Zhiyan had encountered something similar in his previous life, then was his accidental opening of the space and the spiritual spring a preordained act to save him?

She thought to herself, "Xie Zhiyan, don't be afraid. No matter what you become, as long as you are alive, I will never abandon you."

If he really never wakes up again, she can simply be his caregiver for the rest of her life.

A short life is but a fleeting moment in the vast galaxy.

Since they are already husband and wife, and he chose to protect her the moment he learned she was in trouble, she should cherish him even more.

"The patient's condition is still unstable and needs to be transferred to a ward for observation. Family members should try to control their emotions, as your mood will affect the patient."

Dr. Liu has left, but the nurses are still here. There is a shortage of hospital beds.

If it weren't for the temporary addition of beds, the inpatient department simply wouldn't be able to accommodate so many patients.

Shu Ying nodded and made way for him: "Thank you for your help, doctor."

Several people pushed Xie Zhiyan to the ward. The nurse started an IV drip on him and briefly instructed Shu Ying: "If the patient has any abnormalities, you can press the button by the bed. His current condition is not suitable for too many people to visit. Try not to leave him unattended at the hospital. Also, make sure to change his dressings on time every day. Although he is still in a coma, you can give him some water. His body needs to be properly nourished so that he can recover sooner."
