Chapter 11
The boy opened his eyes.
Then I understood everything.
Cracks gradually appeared on the young man's face like a broken glass. no. no. lie.
The boy repeatedly muttered like a broken machine and stood up from his seat. The cold air from the marble floor of my bare feet went up my body.
Can't feel the pain that's been tormenting him
"……impossible."
The slightly uneasy voice dispersed in a low voice.
The boy slowly opened the door of the ward, and a group of anxious-looking people were walking towards somewhere.
Boom. Boom.
Are you laying something down?
It's too noisy.
White feet stepped on the corridor.
His spirit was clearer than ever before, as if he was walking in a dream.
Like a fish swimming along the current, following people.
Where the footsteps stopped, the boy stared blankly at the door number of the ward.
No. 714.
Then. The place where the boy's eyes were pointing was in the open ward.
People in white coats were staring at someone eagerly.
"3,2,1!"
Boom
"Again! 3.2.1!"
Boom.
At that time, someone changed his position.
Until then, the boy could see the face of the person surrounded by people.
Boom.
The body of a young man exuded the unique greenness of the dead, and moved feebly with the movement of the machine. Rising and falling.
Boom.
A heavy noise echoed in my mind, and I couldn't tell where it came from.
The man's face looked comfortable, as if he was asleep.
As his eyelids moved slowly, water vapor fell out. Come down.
The young man raised his hand and rubbed his face, and the water vapor on his fingers instantly fell away.
"fraud."
A sentence that was barely spoken as if spitting out.
It was too cold, and the hands and feet were frozen.
The nurse who found the boy afterward hurriedly came over and stopped involuntarily.
A boy standing like a stone statue, with the thought of wanting to die The expression was crying silently.
Benjamin read Dohyun's ranking list again
"This... I can't explain it except for the word"miracle"!"
Do-hyun's rankings experienced a sudden change one day, to be precise, a week ago.
Even if it gradually got better, it was a surprising thing, but Do-hyun started from a moment and fully recovered..
It was like someone had cast magic.
This was also a first for Benjamin.
Do-hyun’s organs also became weak, and even if the disease was cured, it would take time and effort to return to health.
But Do-hyun’s body completely omitted That kind of recovery process is completely"healthy".
Even compared to ordinary people, Dohyun's numerical values, which are much healthier, are getting better and better.
Visible to the naked eye, there is blood on his face, and his body patch has weakened due to less activity.
It is a miracle. Occasionally
, very occasionally, something happens in the hospital that cannot be understood by ordinary common sense.
Healthy people suddenly face death, and people who thought they would die are also resurrected.
Religious people are among the doctors who are at the forefront of science. Many reasons are also because of these things.
Benjamin is not a devout believer, but this time he found the existence of God.
Dong Dong -
Benjamin, standing in front of Daoxian's ward, knocked on the door softly.
No answer was heard inside, but Benjamin The door was opened skillfully.
The ward was as white as usual. The boy sitting leaning against the bed looked out the window.
The boy was motionless and slowly blinking his eyes. Rather than being a living person, it was better to say that all the blood had been lost. A white wax figure.
But the inanimate doll exudes a strong sense of presence that cannot be felt.
The face glowing with white light in the ward is expressionless and unblinking.
It even feels like facing some amazing, amazing, and extremely beautiful existence.
Ghastlychild (unhappy child).
That’s what Do-hyun is called in the hospital.
Strangely, oriental children who don’t want to be near are also objects of avoidance in the hospital.
A superstitious cardiologist even firmly believes that Do-hyun is the ghost of the East. Possessed.
Helia and Benjamin, the nurses in charge of Do-hyun, do not call Do-hyun"Ghastlychild", but treat Do-hyun as ordinary people.
Even such Helia and Benjamin are not willing to be with Do-hyun A long time ago.
But starting from a week ago, it was completely different.
A look of Doxian appeared in Benjamin's eyes. It was so quiet that one doubted whether he was breathing. The boy seemed to surround himself with the sunlight that came through the window.
There was nothing wrong with it. The unhappy feeling did not attract the weird fear at his feet.
Instead, he felt that the angels in the Bible would do that.
Benjamin couldn't help but look at Daoxian who was looking at him, and finally came back to his senses.
Almost innocent black eyes stared at Benjamin , not even light can be reflected.
Benjamin finally remembered what he wanted to say
"How are you today?"
"good."
Dohyun replied calmly. Benjamin repeated the look at that time with that cold expression. The biological signal did not come back after being shocked. The moment he raised his head with a miserable mood, he saw the face of the child who fell quietly into the abyss.
In the professional life of a doctor, death is always around him, but this does not mean that it can be transcended from the death of the patient. Perhaps this is a scar-like memory that will never be forgotten in his life, following him closely.
"Judging from the examination, his physical condition continues to improve. Although it needs to be observed for a period of time, judging from the current state, the disease can be considered to be cured. Compared with ordinary people, his physical strength is slightly weaker, but there are no problems in other aspects."
Looking at Daoxian whose expression didn't change, he continued.
"Under the current circumstances, resting and recuperating at home is more helpful than being in the hospital."
Dohyun reacted to that statement. It was a weak reaction, and it was hard to tell whether it was a positive reaction or a negative one.
"Do you want me to be discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, staying in the hospital won't help."
Actually, there is a bigger problem than the physical problem.
That is the mental part.
"Do-hyun refused psychological consultation."
Benjamin tried hard to suppress the complicated emotions.
He had been seeing Do-hyun for a long time.
Therefore, it was impossible not to know what this man Zheng Hee-sung meant to children where loneliness was their daily life.
To Do-hyun, Jeong Hee-sung was the first A family member and first friend.
This is a huge loss for a child.
After the day Jung Hee-sung was pronounced dead, Do-hyun's words dropped sharply.
According to Do-hyun's caregiver Kelly, he did not study and had been Looking out the window or sleeping.
But since he refused psychological consultation, there was nothing Benjamin could do.
He could only go home and live with his parents, hoping to get better slowly.
Benjamin looked at Daoxian's expression and carefully opened the conversation
"So... I want to contact Dohyun's parents today."
Dohyun blinked slowly.
"Do you want to contact Dohyun first?"
"No, let the teacher do it."
As if it was not worth considering, I got a reply right away.
He said that he was a child who reunited with his parents after a few years. He seemed too indifferent.
"Coming once a year is all we have……"
I know Do Hyun and his parents are not very close.
Because like everyone else in the hospital, they don't like Do Hyun.
But although they were insufficient in emotional communication, they never made Doxian feel inadequate financially.
That is, at least a sense of responsibility.
Furthermore, Benjamin was convinced
"It's impossible to hate such a cute kid."
No matter who looks at it, I am not a Ghastlychild now.
Office of the Korean branch of Italian fashion brand Marine. Representative
Seo Hye-na's left eye is slightly twisted. Oh Sung-hee, the leader of the design team of this S/W series, clenched her nervous fingertips
"This, what do you think of the color?"
"What?"
"It seems embarrassing to me."
Xu Huina picked up her clutch bag and observed it carefully.
"The color matching with the chain is also not good...ah, it would be nice to extend the length of the chain a little bit."
Seo Hye-na put her handbag back on the table and saw Oh Sung-hee.
The representative is also a kind boss to his subordinates, but he is more thorough than anyone else in his work.
Oh Sung-hee is waiting for the next sentence with full strength
"The Catania di Marina series we launched this time is a series launched to update the brand image that usually feels a bit old-fashioned. To blend in with the youth and vitality of the port city of Catania... this color is a bit old and seems to need to be modified."
Okay, got it!
Wu Chengxi nodded seriously and listened to the feedback.
Xu Huina also checked the other identities one by one and gave feedback. She looked back at Wu Chengxi
"Marina plans to expand the age group more and more, so the lines this time are very important. The design is beautiful, so pay attention to the details again"
"OK, I will discuss it with the design team and revise your feedback."
"yes. Ah, there are also the products to be displayed in the flagship store this time……"
Wuwuwu-wuwuwu-
Xu Huina stopped talking when she heard the vibration coming from the handbag. Seo Hyena raised her hand to ask for forgiveness and took out her mobile phone.
The name that appeared on the screen made Seo Hyena's expression become subtle.
"…represent?"
When the signal sounded four times, Wu Chengxi did not answer the phone and stood quietly. Wu Chengxi carefully called her
"……ah."
Seo Huina seemed to come back to her senses later. She raised her head and looked a little uncomfortable. Let's talk about it next time.
After saying this, Xu Huina hurriedly left the office of the design team after receiving Oh Sung-hee's greeting.
Xu Huina quickened her pace, He quickly opened the door to the representative room. In order to prevent anyone from entering, he locked the door and raised his cell phone. The disconnected screen showed a missed call.
After a slight hesitation, he pressed the call button and held it to his ear..Blurulu
-buluulu- the phone connection sound rang, and the call was connected within a few seconds.
-Yes, I got the call
"…Dr. Benjamin, I am the guardian of patient Li Doxian. I contacted you after confirming your phone number"
-Ah, long time no see, Huina. Did I contact you when I was busy?
"No, it's okay."
Xu Huina, who had taken a break, asked with a hesitant voice.
"But what's wrong with contacting me?"
The last call from the hospital was a month ago.
Seo Hye-na received a notification that Do-hyun had fainted at that time.
The nurse said that she was shocked by the death of the patient who had a good relationship with her in the hospital and fainted, and she showed it on her phone Dohyun stood there blankly for a long time.
He pressed the call button and turned it off repeatedly before the signal tone connected.
"What do you want to say on the phone?"
I didn't even know that her son had someone so close to her. She chose her own life on behalf of her child.
What qualifications did she have to call and talk to that child?
In the end, she put down the phone.
She is the worst parent.
Such Seo Huina Unbelievable stories came to my ears
-Congratulations, Mizser. Patient Lee Do-hyun has been confirmed to be discharged.
Refund, yuan?
Xu Huina's lips trembled
-Yes. The diagnostic form was sent via email, and if the attachment was confirmed, the values quickly returned to normal starting a month ago. I'm almost completely healthy now. Because it is a rare disease, it is impossible to know the cause of the recovery, but after one month of observation, it is believed that the disease has probably been cured and is not a temporary phenomenon. In terms of physical strength, increasing activity after discharge is more helpful than in the hospital.
It was like being hit in the head by something muddy.
It’s not that you have lost your compassion for children because of taboos.
From the moment he was born, he felt sorry for suffering from inexplicable diseases. But I never thought that my child would get better.
Eight years.
In a short period of time, I received several calls that required me to be mentally prepared.
The content of the phone call that followed was that she had finally overcome the difficulty, but Seo Hye-na had accepted the death of her child countless times.
But he recovered
-Mizser?
Benjamin's call finally cheered me up
"That is to say, are you cured?"
-Yes. Although it is necessary to check and observe regularly...
Benjamin's words raced in his mind. Xu Huina reacted mechanically in a daze, not even knowing what spirit she was talking about.
-The most important thing is that patient Lee Do-hyun is now in a dangerous mental state.
It was as if cold water had been poured on me, and I suddenly woke up.
"What?"
-The death of an acquaintance shocked me. Lately I've been looking out the window all day, or sleeping for more than half of the day. I also suggested psychological counseling, but patient Lee Do-hyun refused. What Dohyun needs now is the comfort of his family.
Xu Huina couldn't answer.
Dohyun will be uncomfortable. I don't have that qualification.
Dohyun fainted because of this thought and didn't even make a call.
"Dohyun...Is Dohyun tired?"
-Yes. Patient Lee Do-hyun currently has fatigue, decreased activity, decreased appetite, and sleep disorders. Although the psychological examination is inaccurate... In my opinion, he seems to be suffering from depression.
Depression.
Xu Huina felt out of breath.
Standing in the building obviously, it felt like being trapped in the sea, and I felt so depressed. My hands and toes are cold
"……Have you found your parents?"
-……No. There is no such story. fortunately.
Great, I don’t know why I’m so sad. Trembling all over and unable to stand. Leaning against the wall.
There seemed to be a pit under my feet.
Xu Huina, who said she wanted to adjust the discharge date with her husband, hung up the phone.
Chi Liu - The body sinks along the wall. Throwing it haphazardly on the cold marble floor, I covered my face with trembling hands.
Because the next schedule was late, I stayed until the secretary came to see me.
