Chapter 959 - 958: Far Too Normal
A large group of people rushed towards the door, creating a strong visual impact and psychological pressure for the two policemen at the entrance.Their task was to keep a good watch over Chu Ge. Although they had observed the daily, dedicated vigil of these women and believed they meant no harm to Chu Ge, the problem was... Chu Ge had just woken up. Surely his body was still very weak. If so many people rushed in, this... would it be possible?
He Qing was the first to rush over. In truth, everyone shared the same concern for Chu Ge; she was just the fastest because she was the most agile.
Being the first to rush over, she was also the first to see the embarrassed expressions on the two policemen's faces and first to realize that Chu Ge had just woken up, was probably still very weak, couldn't withstand noise, and couldn't handle too much emotional fluctuation.
Thinking of this, He Qing immediately stopped, turned around, raised her right hand to the group of girls behind her, and made a "stop" gesture.
It must be said that thanks to her temperament, every gesture from He Qing carried a convincing charm. The crowd of girls also stopped soon after seeing this.
"I think maybe we should wait a bit. After all, Chu Ge has just woken up. We should let the doctor check him first. If he's fine, then we'll go in a few at a time later to see him. Also, we should give the couple some time alone."
Hearing He Qing's words, the girls all appeared a bit embarrassed. They were not insensitive women; they just were too anxious about Chu Ge, which is why they momentarily overlooked these things.
Most of them nodded, though Shu Lulu and Li Nan still seemed a bit reluctant.
"Uncle must be fine. Did you hear how loud he shouted just now? When we were doing military training, the dean shouting through a loudspeaker wasn't as loud as him."
"Lulu!" Luo Suyun glared at her daughter and tugged on Shu Lulu's hand, after which Shu Lulu remained silent.
"I also think Brother Chu... Brother Chu Ge is definitely fine. He's so awesome; there's absolutely no problem. Or can't we just sneak a peek at the door?"
Li Nan mumbled, making the girls even more embarrassed. They exchanged glances but remained silent, yet they stopped their feet, clearly agreeing with Li Nan's idea, eager to catch a glimpse of Chu Ge right after he awakened.
"Um... can, can I go over first? I need to go in."
A timid voice came from behind the girls. Shu Lulu muttered discontentedly, "We're all just taking a peek at the door; what's with the special treatment? Queue up behind."
"Um, sorry, I'm the doctor."
"Uh... pretend I didn't say anything."
The girls made way, and the female doctor walked towards the ward. Living more than thirty years, especially after these past days, she truly widened her horizons and gained insight.
When the door opened, the girls stole a quiet glance inside, but due to the angle, only a few saw what was happening inside.
Qin Ruojing was crying, while Chu Ge was smiling.
The doctor entered the room and quickly closed the door, causing everyone's hearts to hang in suspense once more.
The doctor first performed some checks on Chu Ge, then looked at the instrument's data, her expression gradually shifting from solemn to peculiar. This situation... it really was a first for her.
"Doctor, how is my husband?"
During the doctor's checks and data review, Qin Ruojing barely dared breathe. She waited for a while, and seeing the doctor remain silent with such a complex expression, she could no longer hold back, not even bothering to wipe her tears, nervously asking, biting her lip tightly.
"Well, this..." The doctor looked at Chu Ge, hesitant to continue.
Seeing the doctor hem and haw, Qin Ruojing's head suddenly buzzed. Could it be that Chu Ge's condition wasn't optimistic?
Chu Ge was also looking at the doctor, experiencing similar doubts.
Before losing consciousness, he had no idea how many injuries he had or how serious they were. He didn't even know how he survived and was brought to the hospital. He was particularly hung up on that incredibly strange dream from earlier.
Overall, there were too many uncertainties in his mind, but currently, what mattered most was his physical condition. He feared the doctor might tell him he needed an amputation or something; that would be a disaster!
"Doctor..." Qin Ruojing's lips began to tremble, her hands subconsciously clenching into fists.
"Miss Qin, your husband Mr. Chu Ge, he..."
The doctor stopped mid-sentence again. Never mind Qin Ruojing, even Chu Ge's heart rate sped up, his nerves becoming tense.
"Sorry, I think I need to perform some more tests. Please wait for a moment."
Watching the doctor's hurried departure, Chu Ge's mouth twitched, large sweat drops rolling down his forehead.
Damn it! If you're going to leave us in suspense, at least finish your sentence! You've been dragging it out for ages, only to leave us with this—you know how to mess with people, don't you?
Qin Ruojing's face turned even paler, and even though she bit her lips tighter and slightly tilted her head back, tears still streamed out uncontrollably. Judging from the doctor's words, Chu Ge's situation was likely very grim.
Since Chu Ge woke up, his attention had been focused solely on Qin Ruojing, and then the doctor came in. He had not properly assessed his own condition until hearing the doctor's words. Besides feeling speechless, he also grew more concerned as he seriously examined his own body.
Hmm, there were all sorts of messy tubes inserted into his body, connected to various machines. An IV was attached to his hand. From his current angle, he couldn't see his entire body, but wherever he could see was wrapped in bandages, making him look just like a mummy.
This setup was indeed quite intimidating. His body felt a bit numb; perhaps the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet?
"Honey, come here."
Qin Ruojing discreetly wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, took a quick breath, and exhaled sharply. She turned around and went to Chu Ge's side, forcing a slight smile, "Hmm?"
Seeing the new tear streaks on Qin Ruojing's cheeks, Chu Ge felt incredibly mixed emotions.
He was comforted because it was clear that Qin Ruojing was still concerned about and worried for him.
Because of this care and concern, he also felt deeply guilty. Since he and Qin Ruojing had been together, this wasn't the first time he had found himself in danger. This time he was really on the brink of death. Although he couldn't fully empathize, he had no doubt that Qin Ruojing was very upset.
He felt some anxiety and doubt too. Was someone like him truly suitable to be a woman's husband and, in the future, a father to one or more children? Could he guarantee that similar incidents wouldn't happen again?
Initially, Chu Ge wanted to ask some of the questions on his mind, like how long he had been asleep, how He Qing was doing, whether Li Zheming had been caught, etc...
However, looking at Qin Ruojing's face, trying hard to smile, he temporarily set aside those questions.
Chu Ge sighed inwardly and simply grinned, speaking in an incredibly relaxed tone, "Do you think I look like a mummy now? Isn't it super cool?"
Qin Ruojing bit her lip and gently held Chu Ge's hand, nodding, "Hmm... especially cool."
She wanted to laugh, but tears once again flowed out uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, the doctor walked out of the ward with a peculiar expression. Shu Lulu was the first to approach, "Doctor, how is Uncle?"
"It's hard to say at the moment. Please, everyone step aside."
Receiving such an answer, watching the doctor hurry away, everyone's hearts became even more uneasy, even those like Shu Lulu and Li Nan, who had blind faith in Chu Ge, fell silent.
Leaving the ICU where Chu Ge was, the doctor returned to her private office and immediately dialed the number of Vice Director Hu Tai'en. Vice Director Hu had instructed long ago that she must promptly report Chu Ge's condition once he woke up.
"Dean Hu, this is Xiao Guan. Chu Ge has woken up, and I just checked on him."
"How is he?"
"Well... I suspect there's an issue with our equipment. His various readings are just too... too..."
"Too what? What's going on?"
"They're just too normal. This is simply too unbelievable."
"Normal? But he was so severely injured."
"Yes, I found it strange too. His normalcy is extraordinarily abnormal."
At this point, Dr. Guan paused, relayed a few key data points to Hu Tai'en, and after she finished, Hu Tai'en was silent for several seconds before responding.
"Uh... well, observe him a bit more. If it's not a machine malfunction, don't share these data with anyone."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go now,"
Dr. Guan replied, and after hanging up, she armed herself with some medical instruments and returned to the ICU, still mulling over the situation. Even if she told others about this, who would believe her?
After conducting a more detailed examination on Chu Ge, Dr. Guan was left with no choice but to believe it. His recovery speed was simply astonishing, and not in an ordinary way.
Dr. Guan recalled when Chu Ge was first brought to the hospital with barely detectable breathing and a heart rate that was almost flatlining. Nothing about his condition seemed survivable. Yet, to everyone's surprise, after some intense resuscitation efforts, he tenaciously pulled through.
The sheer resilience of his life force was already a miracle. Having been in a coma for seven days and nights, surviving solely through IV fluids, his vital signs at this time were now almost indistinguishable from those of a normal person?
Dear God! This is truly unbelievable!
The word "shocked" couldn't even begin to convey Dr. Guan's feelings. This guy... is he even human?
