You don't spoil your daughter, right? I do!

Chapter 498 Desire for Survival

In normal general anesthesia surgery, depending on the dosage of anesthetics used, the patient's consciousness time is between ten minutes and thirty minutes.

Lin Hao looked at the time. It had been nearly two hours since the operation, but the old man still hadn't woken up.

He hurriedly got out of bed, came to Mr. Wu's side, and observed the various monitoring data.

However, all the data are within the normal range. In theory, the old man should be in very good health.

"Xiao Hao, how is my dad now?" Wu An asked anxiously.

Lin Hao frowned and shook his head, then looked at Wen Zhi and asked, "Did the patient have any abnormalities while I was sleeping just now?"

Wen Zhi came to Lin Hao and said, "The dean and I have been watching the data, and there is nothing abnormal in the data."

"When General Wu hadn't been awake for an hour, we had already tried to wake him up, but it didn't work."

Lin Hao frowned and nodded gently, "Prepare a set of silver needles for me!"

He ripped open the old man's clothes, took Wen Zhi's silver needles, and stabbed Mr. Wu's body one by one.

The silver needles were inserted into painful and itchy acupuncture points. A normal person might not be able to endure even one injection. However, after more than thirty injections were given to the old man, he did not react at all.

Did it fail after all?

Lin Hao sighed deeply, put the silver needle away again, and walked off the bed in a daze.

Looking at Lin Hao's appearance at this moment, Wu An's heart tightened and he slammed his fist heavily on the windowsill.

"Bang!" A loud noise echoed continuously in the empty ward.

Shen Fangyi threw herself into Wu An's arms, sobbing softly and unable to stop.

Wu Shuhe's face turned pale and he looked up at Lin Hao.

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what expression to use to face Lin Hao.

But looking at Lin Hao with his head down, his fists clenched and hanging in front of him, he no longer looked as high-spirited as his youth.

She forced a smile, slowly walked to Lin Hao, tightly held Lin Hao's fist, and comforted him, "Lin Hao, this matter is not your fault."

"We have been mentally prepared for this operation and we already know that it is very dangerous."

Her voice was a little choked up, and she raised her hand to rub her slightly red eyes. "Grandpa told me last night that this week was the happiest time for him in the past decade or so."

"He said that he had no regrets now that he had seen his children grow up and start their own families, and that his old friend had been with him throughout his final journey."

Wu Shuhe sniffed and continued, "He also said that you are a good person and asked me to be good friends with you."

"..."

After hearing Wu Shuhe's words, Lin Hao was silent for a moment and roughly knew why the old man couldn't wake up.

He looked at everyone and explained, "The old man's current condition is probably similar to that of a vegetative state."

"The old man hasn't woken up yet, not because the operation failed, but because he thought his mission was over."

When Wu An heard Lin Hao's words, his eyes instantly fixed.

He remembered that on the first day Lin Hao treated the old man, he told him that he needed to awaken the old man's desire to survive.

When Lin Hao left yesterday, he emphasized this again.

It’s just that the old man has been very happy recently and is cheerful every day, so he neglected it.

"So, as long as we can awaken my dad's desire to survive, he will be able to wake up, right?" Wu An asked.

Lin Hao nodded and said, "The old man should still be able to vaguely hear our voices now. You should talk to him more."

"The longer it takes, the lower the chances of waking up."

After saying that, he sighed softly and walked out of the ward alone.

He sat on the floor, leaning against the wall of the corridor, and buried his head in his knees.

Looking at the dim setting sun that scattered golden fragments all over the ground and listening to the noisy sounds in the ward behind him, Lin Hao's eyes were empty and dull.

Lin Xiaoxuan followed Lin Hao's footsteps and walked out of the ward. Looking at Lin Hao's lost look just now, she felt as if a handful of broken glass was squeezed into her heart.

She walked slowly to Lin Hao's side and sat on the ground like Lin Hao did.

She glanced at Lin Hao, gently held Lin Hao's hand, and quietly accompanied Lin Hao to watch the sunset gradually fall.

After a while, Lin Hao felt calmer and squeezed Lin Xiaoxuan's hand.

"Feeling better?" Lin Xiaoxuan asked.

Lin Hao turned around and gently hugged Lin Xiaoxuan, whispering in her ear, "Thank you!"

He let go of Lin Xiaoxuan, looked towards the ward not far away, and said, "I'll try to stimulate the old man with acupuncture later to see if it works."

Lin Xiaoxuan nodded and waved her fist at Lin Hao, "Come on! You can do it! The old man will definitely wake up!"

She pointed in the direction of the toilet and said, "Sister is going to the toilet first, and I will help you later!"

After saying that, she stood up and trotted into the bathroom.

She took out her cell phone, found her father's cell phone number, and called him.

The call was quickly connected, and she told Lin Jianguo what had happened here.

Lin Jianguo frowned slightly and replied, "Got it. Sidi and I will be there right now. You stay with Xiaohao."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and ran towards Zhao Sidi's office.

On the other side, Lin Hao looked at the time and it was almost time to go home from school.

He glanced at the ward again and estimated that he would not be able to return to Jiangcheng tonight. In the morning, he told Qingyi that he would go back early to pick her up.

He took out his cell phone and called Lin Qingyi. Lin Qingyi's sweet voice instantly rang out from the other end of the line, "Brother, was the operation successful? When will you come to pick me up and take me home?"

For some reason, when Lin Hao heard Lin Qingyi's voice, he always felt that the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.

He sighed softly and said, "There was a little accident during the operation. The old man hasn't woken up yet. I can't go back tonight. I may have to stay in River City for the next two days."

"Talk to Shuang Xu later and ask her to pick you up in the next two days!"

"Beep, beep, beep..." Before Lin Hao could finish his words, the sound of the phone being hung up rang in his ears.

Looking at the desktop of his mobile phone, Lin Hao sighed again, "He must be angry, right? He didn't do what he promised Qing Yi..."
