Chapter 1338: Is There A Miracle
Ye Jian knew that Lieutenant General Xia was coming, but she didn’t know that the military academy leaders would be here too. She stood up from sleeping on her stomach, and a familiar voice came from her ear, “Ye girl, you’re awake.”
It was Principal Chen’s voice.
“Uncle Chen.” Ye Jian turned around and looked at Principal Chen, who was pouring boiling water from a kettle. Looking at her other relatives, her eyes suddenly turned red, “You have been working hard these days. It’s all my fault, I’ve come too late.”
“Silly child, don’t worry about me.” Principal Chen, who had slept for a few hours last night, was looking much better; even his eyes were no longer red, “Come here, take this wet towel and wipe gently on Old Uncle’s lips.”
Ye Jian immediately took the wet towel, and with a very serious expression, she gently and carefully took care of Old Uncle Gen.
Xia Jinyuan, who was talking on the phone outside, looked back and saw Ye Jian waking up. He quickly hung up the phone. The two military doctors who patrolled the room in the morning came in along with two nurses. They were going to do their routine checking for Old Uncle Gen.
“The old man has been in a coma longer than he had in the previous two days. Please be prepared.” After the two military doctors checked Old Uncle Gen, they sighed together. The old man’s physical fitness had completely deteriorated. He had endured his last breath for so long… if this breath was gone, then so was he.
Ye Jian gathered around the blanket and listened intently to every word the military doctor said. After that, she asked softly: “I want to know…, is there any possibility for my grandfather to wake up?”
“I can’t be sure, there may be, that we usually call it terminal lucidity.”
The military doctor’s words caused Ye Jian to shudder. Xia Jinyuan, who came in immediately raised his hand and took her shoulders, calmly asking the military doctor, “If he is always in a coma, how long can he stay alive if he only depends on nutritional infusions?”
“His organs are going to fail and there is no way to absorb too much intragastric nutrient drips. How long he can stay alive depends on his will to live.”
In other words, there is no possibility of recovery. It is still possible to breathe when a person is in a coma. So now it was down to Uncle Gen’s will to live.Ye Jian, who had better grades in medical school than other students, had a glimmer of hope, “You mean my grandpa’s brain is still conscious, and the possibility of waking up is great, right?”
“You can think of it that way, I supposed.” The military doctor nodded, “As long as the brain hasn’t stopped working, there is still awareness, he will have a chance to wake up from his coma.”
“That’s good, that’s good!” Ye Jian’s eyes seemed to light a beam of fire; her eyes lit up. As long as Grandpa Gen had a chance to wake up, she would try to encourage her Grandpa to stay alive… Hope he can make it past this time!
The military doctor seemed to see what she was thinking. He shook his head secretly, without speaking anymore.
The patient’s relatives always hope for a miracle to happen, but unfortunately, a miracle will not happen just because you hope for it. Especially for someone so old, all the organs in the body are exhausted; waking up is just basically opening his eyes.
There weren’t too many people left in the ward. Xia Jinyuan accompanied Ye Jian to wash up as persuaded by Principal Chen, “Go clean yourself up first.”
Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan went to the town’s bun shop to buy vegetable buns and fried dough sticks. They waited for Ye Jian to wash up before eating together.
“Old Uncle wants to see you put on the military uniform, so Uncle Chen called the military department, and Major General Yang of the army called the military academy, hoping that the school could cooperate with him to fulfill the old man’s wish.”
