“Waking up to the vibration of the phone on the nightstand, Wen Xin felt a bit irritated in Mu Chengxi’s arms.
Sensing Wen Xin’s mood, Mu Chengxi hugged her tighter, rolled over to her side of the bed, and reached for her phone.
His dark eyes slowly opened, and seeing the caller ID displaying Nan Xu’s name, he gently pinched Wen Xin’s delicate ear and smiled indulgently. “It’s Nan Xu calling. Do you want to answer it?”
Hearing Nan Xu’s name made Wen Xin more alert. She nodded against Mu Chengxi’s chest, so he answered the call and held the phone to her ear. “What’s up?” Though Wen Xin sounded weary, her voice betrayed no sign of fatigue.
“Did I wake you? I’ve encountered a rather tricky case here. A patient has been hypnotized, then became suddenly alert after a shock and is now in a deep
coma. I was wondering if you’d be willing to come and take a look.”
After hearing Nan Xu out, Wen Xin sat up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace, took her phone, and asked, “Hypnotized? Who is it?”
“It’s Gu Xiang. She was hypnotized, and it seems quite severe, almost like brainwashing. That’s why she hired people to trouble you. After experiencing a shock, she momentarily regained consciousness before falling into a coma.”
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow at the mention of Gu Xiang. Now fully awake, she found the predicament of the person who had orchestrated an attack on her quite intriguing.
“Give me the hospital’s address. I’ll come over now.”
Twenty minutes later, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi arrived at the hospital. Gu’s parents greeted Mu Chengxi with respect, and Gu Yanzhe hurried forward.
“Master Xi, Miss Wen.”
“Let’s see the patient first, ” Wen Xin said tersely, sparing no extra words.
On the drive over, Nan Xu had told her they had only three hours before Gu Xiang would enter a brain-dead state.
“I’ll show you the way.” Nan Xu approached from the other end of the hallway, having just left the brainwave monitoring room, noting Gu Xiang’s increasingly erratic brainwaves.
Wen Xin took her backpack from Mu Chengxi and followed Nan Xu.
Gu’s parents and Gu Yanzhe watched them leave, wanting to follow but hesitant and embarrassed to do so in Mu Chengxi’s presence.
Ling Yichen, sitting nearby, noted their conflicted indecision and spoke softly, “Let’s all go and see how Gu Xiang is doing.”
Mu Chengxi, without a word, gave the group a cold glance and nodded slightly, “Let’s go.”
Hearing Mu Chengxi, the Gu family no longer hesitated and quickly followed Wen Xin’s direction.
Ling Yichen patted Mu Chengxi on the shoulder, “If she was hypnotized, then it’s not entirely Gu Xiang’s fault.”
“Oh? So, you’re saying it’s Wen Xin’s fault then?” Mu Chengxi replied coldly. He could let it go, but he was unwilling to accept any excuses for Gu Xiang.
“That’s not what I meant. Wei Shisheng is to blame for brainwashing Gu Xiang. Nan Xu confirmed her symptoms were caused by hypnosis. Gu Xiang wasn’t lying before she fell into a coma. Of course, Wen Xin is the victim here. Wei Shisheng is the one who should be held accountable.”
Mu Chengxi chuckled at Ling Yichen’s words, lighting a cigarette on the balcony and then offered the pack to Ling Yichen.
“You’ve known Wei Shisheng for so many years, yet you still don’t understand her? Do you think Wei Shisheng will admit what she did? Since Gu Xiang is willing to get in touch with her, then it’s Gu Xiang’s fault. I won’t accept any objections. ”
Mu Chengxi was holding back his anger, unwilling to hear pleas for Gu Xiang. Even if she was hypnotized, the fact that Wen Xin was hurt remained. “Consider it from another angle. If Wen Xin wasn’t capable of defending herself, she’d be the one being treated now. Being weak doesn’t justify forgiveness.”
Mu Chengxi’s words silenced Ling Yichen; he was right. If Wen Xin hadn’t been able to fend off those men, she would have been the one injured, not Gu Xiang. Who would be here to discuss who was right and who was wrong?
“I shouldn’t have said what I did earlier.”
As Mu Chengxi took a drag from his cigarette and glanced at Ling Yichen, he turned back to the sky outside.
” I’m the one who feels wronged. She’s only willing to overlook this because of me, and now she’s here treating Gu Xiang for my sake. I can’t protect her, yet I’m making her compromise. What kind of man does that make me?”
Mu Chengxi wished Wen Xin would be more assertive, unreasonable even, so she wouldn’t have to suppress her anger and swallow such an injustice.
Gu Yanzhe, overhearing Mu Chengxi from afar, clenched his fist, acknowledging Wen Xin’s grace. He agreed with Mu Chengxi; ultimately, Gu Xiang was responsible.
Wen Xin, examining the data on the computer, turned to Nan Xu, “Move the patient to a regular ward.”
The doctors were surprised by Wen Xin’s decision, expecting electroshock therapy instead. Was this a sign of giving up?
“Dr. Nan…” a nurse looked to Nan Xu, hoping for her to challenge Wen Xin’s directive.
“Take the patient back to the ward.”
Unexpectedly, Nan Xu agreed with Wen Xin’s approach, causing dissent among the attending physicians. They stopped the nurse.
“Gu Xiang’s situation isn’t optimistic. I think electroshock therapy could stimulate her brainwaves and be effective!”
Hearing the doctor’s suggestion, Wen Xin casually raised an eyebrow, “Your method could work, but then Gu Xiang would be left mentally incapacitated. Can you accept that consequence?”
“I know you’re a doctor wanting to save and even cure patients, but you must consider their future quality of life, not just pursue immediate results without thinking of the consequences.”
After glancing at Nan Xu, Wen Xin grabbed her backpack and left the room.
Following Wen Xin’s departure, Nan Xu patted the disgruntled doctor’s shoulder, “Today, you’ll witness a miracle.”
Nan Xu knew if Wen Xin agreed to treat Gu Xiang, she was confident in her success. Wen Xin rarely intervened unless sure of a positive outcome, capable of reviving even those deemed beyond help.
Even if the person was dead, she would still snatch him back from the hands of the King of Hell..
