The next afternoon, there was no class. Luo Li brought some steamed dumplings and fried spring rolls and placed them in a thermos before going to the hospital.
When they arrived at the ward, Lin Zilan's mother was sleeping by the bed. Luo Li walked over gently and placed the thermos on the table in front of the window. At this moment, Violet Orchid's mother woke up when she heard the sound."Why are you here?"
"I was busy with my exams and didn't have time to visit you." Luo Li said,"Didn't you come back to China during the New Year?"”
Lin Zilan's mother said," How can I go back with Violet Orchid in this state? I want to accompany her."”
"Actually, there's also a Spring Festival celebration in Country Y. It's been going on in China these two days. You can go and join in the fun.”Luo Li said as she opened the thermos.
Lin Zilan's mother sighed and said,"" I just hope that Violet Orchid can wake up and bring me to Celestial City. No, not Celestial City. I want to bring her back to Beijing. To be honest, I hate this place in England. If she was in China, this would never have happened.”
Luo Li handed the thermos to Lin Zilan's mother and said,""Auntie, these are the dumplings we made to celebrate the new year.”
Lin Zilan's mother thanked Luo Li and ate the dumplings in the thermos. She had just taken a bite when tears fell like rain. She said," We used to make dumplings with Violet Orchid, but now..." She sobbed as she bit the dumpling.
"Where's Professor Martin? Why don't I see him?" Luo Li asked.
Lin Zilan's mother wiped her tears and said,""Are you talking about that old white man? He went back after Christmas and hasn't come back yet. I think they're just fooling us to swindle money.”
Luo Li leaned against the bed and sat down." You can't say that. After all, he's a professional professor. The medicine and treatment method used must be different. Didn't he tell you anything before he left?"”
Lin Zilan's mother said," He told us to talk more to Violet Orchid. Sometimes, Violet Orchid can hear us. But look at Violet Orchid. She doesn't seem to be able to hear us. She doesn't even move her eyes."”
Luo Li consoled Violet Orchid's mother," Auntie, don't worry. You might be able to hear it sometimes. I saw on the Internet that someone had woken up after sleeping for 19 years. One of the patients who woke up said that he could hear everything that was being said in the outside world. We must insist on talking to Violet Orchid."”
Lin Zilan's mother put down the thermos and stood up.""I'm going to the washroom. Violet Orchid's father might come back later.”
"Alright, is Violet Orchid's father in Country Y?" Luo Li asked.”
" Yes, she came to join us during the New Year." Violet Orchid's mother left after she finished speaking.
Luo Li sat by the bed and looked at Violet Orchid. Perhaps it was because she had only been receiving nutrient fluids, but Violet Orchid had lost a lot of weight. Luo Li held Lin Violet Orchid's hand and could still feel her body temperature. Luo Li said,""Miss Violet Orchid, when are you going to wake up? "I got into Manchester University, so we're classmates now. Oh right, Gao Yi and Lisa have also been accepted. Only Wang Zhengguo, although he didn't get into Manchester University, was accepted by the University of Cambridge. Also, our current agency is Fantasy. Although it's not famous, it won't ask me to lip-sync. Even the performance time will be given to me. We often perform at some small gatherings. I hope you can wake up soon and perform with us. Oh right, I'm under a lot of pressure from my studies now." This was because the teacher always liked to use advanced vocabulary and grammar when he didn't understand anything in class.”
Just as they were talking, Lin Zilan's father pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Luo Li, he said,""Aiya, Xiao Luo."
Luo Li quickly put down Violet Orchid's hand and said,""Hello, Uncle. Happy New Year.”
"I wish you progress in your studies." As he spoke, he placed a big bag on the table and continued,"I went to the supermarket to buy some food. Violet Orchid and I didn't eat anything the whole morning.”
"Uncle, there are dumplings and spring rolls in this thermos. You can make some to eat," said Luo Li hurriedly.”
Papa Lin said," That's great. It's the new year, so we should eat some dumplings. Yesterday, I wanted to ask Violet Orchid's mother to buy some dumplings, but she refused to leave Violet Orchid. Your dumplings came just in time."”As he spoke, Papa Lin picked up the thermos and ate the dumplings.
"Where's the healing team from before?" asked Luo Li. Why don't I see them?"
Papa Lin replied," Most of them went back for Christmas. They haven't been back yet. There are only two of them next door. I don't know what they're busy with."”
After Luo Li heard this, she got up and went to the next room. She pushed open the door and saw two people in white coats sitting on chairs. One was sleeping on the table, and the other was typing on the computer. When he saw Luo Li, he greeted her,"Hello, Mr. Luo. Long time no see.”
Luo Li replied," Hello, I was busy studying a few days ago and didn't have time to come. How is the patient now?"”
White Coat said," Her condition has improved. She's basically in a light coma. Professor Martin said that if she can persist in a light coma for another two weeks, he'll perform surgery on her. The main thing is to clear the blood clot in her brain and implant an electric wave stimulation.”
"That's great. Is there any risk involved in the surgery?”Luo Li said.
" There's always a risk," the doctor replied." But this operation isn't a big problem. That's why we have to operate on her while she's still in a light coma.”
Luo Li patted the white coat's shoulder and thanked him. She turned around and went to the next room. At this time, Lin Zilan's mother had already returned. She shook the water in her hand and said,""The toilets overseas are so good. They provide free toilet paper and no one steals it.”
Lin Zilan's father said," There are toilets in China too.”
Lin Zilan's mother said," Sometimes, there are. It's not long before they're all stolen. It's human nature."”
Luo Li waited for Lin Zilan's mother to sit down and walked to the bedside.""Uncle, Aunty, I just asked the doctor. They said that if Violet Orchid is still in a light coma in two weeks, we'll have to perform surgery. We have to clear the blood clot and implant the lead.”
Lin Zilan's mother suddenly became nervous. She widened her eyes and said,""Surgery? Surgery in the brain? How could that do! It's too dangerous."
Lin Zilan's father gestured for Violet Orchid's mother to calm down and said,""We should trust these doctors. After all, they are professors at the University of Oxford.”
Luo Li also said,"No matter what, we have to give it a try. We have to believe in the power of science. Besides, it's just to clear the blood clot. Putting it in the brain is still a hidden danger."”
Violet Orchid's mother's lips trembled as she grabbed Lin Zilan's hand and stroked Lin Zilan's cheek with her other hand. She sobbed and mumbled,""My poor Violet Orchid. Please don't let anything happen to you again, Violet Orchid.”
Luo Li couldn't bear to see her tears fall. She was afraid that she would cry too, so she walked out. There were no people coming and going in the hospital because everyone who was waiting was sitting on the designated chairs. The doctors were busy in the office. Occasionally, she would see a few nurses walking around. Unlike some hospitals in China, which were filled with people with broken arms and legs, or playing or making noise, the scene like a market disappeared here. Only a gentleman's demeanor remained. The wooden man who had forgotten his human instincts was like a few old people in formal attire sitting calmly on the chair when the ship capsized halfway in the movie Titanic."We don't want life jackets. We'd rather die like gentlemen.”But why?
Luo Li went downstairs and took a taxi back to her apartment to continue her revision. This was because the instructors would always conduct a test first during their classes. The questions were the same as what they had taught that day. They just wanted to understand the students 'knowledge. However, the Chinese students, who were nervous at the sight of an exam, would not be careless about any exam.
