Chapter 394: Chapter 394: The Right Path in the World Is Full of Hardships

After Chen Cang took out the notebook,

everyone present was momentarily stunned.

The two police officers hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.

As soon as they opened it and saw the words “Last Will,” their hearts suddenly tightened!

This… this was too important.

While the female’s family watched the police, the middle-aged man was at first bewildered for a while, then, with wide-eyed eagerness, he said, “Can… can I take a look?”

The two police officers glanced at each other and handed over the notebook, “Yes, don’t damage it, this is… directly related to your daughter.”

The man nodded, quickly raised his hands, and shakily took it.

“Good! Good! Good!”

The family of three took the notebook and immediately lowered their heads to look at it together.

Yet…

Chen Cang knew that to the police, the notebook was just evidence.

To him, it was just an insignificant thing.

But for this family, it might… be a punishment as excruciating as death by a thousand cuts!

Indeed, the man held the notebook with both hands, carefully reading every single sentence, each one slicing through his heart like knives!

Every sentence was like a needle piercing the palm of his hand!

It hurt!

…

…

Chen Cang sighed helplessly but had no mind to look after them, as there were still many important matters to handle.

Lele and Xiao Yan, watching the woman, felt a chill of fear!

After ICU Doctor Zheng Yongjun arrived, Chen Cang began to report on the situation, and upon seeing it, Zheng, in his early forties, suddenly changed his complexion, unable to help but curse, “Beast!”

This was a girl, who could inflict such ruthless harm!

Aside from her face and arms, beneath every piece of clothing seemed to be another wound.

Under the monitor, vital signs were constantly changing, this night was surely to be sleepless.

The rescue could not stop!

Blood dialysis had just finished, with a rush to check creatine kinase levels immediately afterward.

Using this opportunity, Zheng Yongjun also transferred the patient to the intensive care unit, where all equipment was ready.

This night, for that family, was like a nightmare!

For Chen Cang, it was also unprecedented.

Chen Cang had seen and dealt with rhabdomyolysis before,

as well as suicide by sleeping pill overdose.

But…

Domestic violence!

Such severe domestic violence was a first for Chen Cang.

Every time he recalled the horrifying text recorded in his notebook and imagined the unforgivable scenes, Chen Cang felt that the criminals should receive the punishment they deserved.

But he was not the judge; he was just a doctor,

a doctor who must give his all to save even the criminals lying on the operating table.

At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the toughest part of being a doctor was perhaps not just the technique,

but to witness the vicissitudes of life without acting on personal feelings.

It was a kind of helplessness.

Perhaps…

If heaven has feelings, even heaven would grow old.

The proper way of the world is an ever-changing landscape.

At this moment, Chen Cang seemed to understand this phrase a bit more profoundly.

…

…

Chen Cang stayed in the intensive care unit until about 5 a.m.

During that time, the girl’s heart stopped once, but fortunately, she was resuscitated in time and brought back.

As Chen Cang looked at the monitoring curves jumping on the screen, it seemed as if they represented the girl’s fragile soul.

Chen Cang felt that, at this very moment, the girl lying on the bed, who was even younger than him, was like a rabbit with its soul trapped, constantly enduring torture. She was avoiding it, and so… she still had not woken up.

After receiving the emergency call, Chen Cang bid farewell to Zheng Yongjun and returned to the emergency department.

At this time, new patients arrived at the emergency room.

Chen Cang began his busy work once again.

He was especially afraid of having idle time that night.

Because every time he had a moment to himself, he couldn’t help but think about the incident.

The girl’s relatives were still anxiously waiting in the hall. A middle-aged man, in a state of collapse, leaned against the wall. His legs too weak to support him, he slid down to a crouch on the floor, then just sat down, spreading his legs and resting his head against the cold wall.

His eyes displayed unwavering resolve, perhaps he had made up his mind: He would not give up without a fight to the death!

A seventeen-year-old boy, crying like a three-year-old, wailed as he clutched his head and tore at his hair, while the woman was silent and at a loss.

One police officer had left, while another kept an eye on the youngster, fearing he might do something impulsive.

…

…

At nine o’clock in the morning, the head of the emergency department, Li Baoshan, officially organized a major consultation to discuss the girl’s rescue situation.

The neurology specialist suggested performing a magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic electroencephalogram first to see if there were any neurological diseases, because such a possibility really could not be ruled out.

After examining the morning’s creatine kinase levels, the head of the nephrology department said that renal failure was unlikely, and the situation was not very dangerous at the moment. As for rhabdomyolysis… it was also not fatal, likely due to timely blood filtration.

…

After everyone had expressed their opinions, the girl once again began the relevant tests.

But!

A surprising event happened once again.

The brain MRI showed transient cerebral ischemic attack, which could cause some irreversible brain damage, and the dynamic EEG displayed abnormal spike-and-wave complexes and… strange waveforms.

This was very strange.

Upon seeing this, Professor Du, the head of neurology, was momentarily stunned, then slowly said,

“This… will depend on the patient herself.”

The moment he spoke, everyone around turned to look at Professor Du.

It was then that Professor Du, nearing sixty, slowly said, “I’ve seen this kind of waveform before. Just listen, don’t take it too seriously, because what I’m about to say may not have statistical significance, nor can it be found in the evidence of evidence-based medicine. It’s merely an individual medical case.”

The crowd nodded in understanding; this was the so-called experiential medicine.

Professor Du continued, “Currently, the brain damage is in the frontal lobe, likely causing emotional damage. If she wakes up, her personality might change a bit, or she might even become psychotic!”

“However… it may also lead to some memory confusion, that is… amnesia.”

“But, whether she can wake up or not will depend on herself. Moreover, this waveform on the EEG can actually show that the brain’s electrical functions are alright, and this abnormal waveform can be interpreted as a form of self-preservation!”

“In plain terms, a person might lack the will to survive, but… an organism has that will. Seeing this waveform now, it indicates that the girl’s body is struggling, wanting to wake up.”

After speaking, everyone fell into a slight silence.

Professor Du finally said, “Just wait. She may wake up, or she may not. It’s up to her now.”

With that one statement, all hope was placed in the girl herself.

Perhaps she did not wish to wake up.

Or perhaps, she was willing to wake up with a new face.
