Chapter 97
Chu Qing fell into a deep sleep, and in his dream, all that remained was a vast expanse of white, so much so that he couldn't even distinguish between dream and reality.
In a daze, I heard someone calling my name. I tried my best to see what that person looked like.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, everything in front of him remained blurry.
When Wei Yutang brought Xiaxia back after dinner, he saw him still lying in bed.
The doctor had just come to do a check-up not long ago, and the results showed nothing abnormal. As for why he hadn't woken up, it was probably because he hadn't learned how to use his mental power before.
When will I wake up?
The little tiger, who had already crawled over to get a kiss from its father, suddenly raised its head when it heard those words.
He was very worried about his father and didn't want to move an inch, unsure when his father would wake up.
If he could, this little guy would just want to lie in his dad's arms.
"Because there have been no previous cases, we cannot give a precise figure on when the patient will wake up."
There have been quite a few people who have been hospitalized due to abnormal mental abilities, but this is an unprecedented case of someone being able to use their mental abilities to save lives without any systematic training.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person is simply a genius.
None of the doctors in the hospital who took on this case wanted to see that scene.
If they could, they felt that the person in front of them seemed capable of creating a new miracle for them.
For this reason, and given that Chu Qing's identity was also extraordinary, almost everyone in the hospital focused their attention on her, trying every possible means to achieve their goals.
Especially those who were previously most skilled at this, they practically wanted to stay in the hospital room.
For the first two days, the little tiger was able to be fooled into thinking that his father was just asleep, but he gradually realized something was wrong.
You can tell that the fur around his eyes was always wet, and the tiger cub looked extremely aggrieved.
This time, no matter how hard his father tried, he couldn't change the little tiger's stubborn mind.
Sometimes, if he finds his father's words too annoying, he will even cover his ears with his paws, or simply crawl into his father's bed to completely isolate himself from the outside world.
Wei Yutang knew beforehand that the little guy really liked his father, but he never imagined that their relationship had become this deep.
If Chu Qing hasn't woken up yet, then this little tiger might just wear itself out first.
A whole week has passed, but he still doesn't seem to have changed at all.
The doctors at the hospital change his medication on time every day to ensure that he won't have any physical problems even if he doesn't wake up.
Wei has turned down all his work, and judging from his current appearance, it seems he plans to stay in the hospital for a long time to come.
Fortunately, they had just completed a mission not long ago and were currently in a period of rest.
So even if he's not there, it won't have any impact.
There are many people in their team, and there are also people who can temporarily replace him. If any emergency occurs, he will still need to go back to take charge.
Everyone in the team knows how important this person is to the team leader, so unless it's something that absolutely requires the team leader's presence, they will take care of everything else first.
The little tiger in the hospital had finally grown up to be chubby, but it quickly lost weight again in just two weeks.
Although their medical conditions and other aspects have reached their peak, everything related to mental power is still unknown.
Many people have tried to unravel this mystery, but unfortunately, even if they spend their entire lives, they can only touch one edge of it.
This incident escalated significantly, attracting experts from other planets who studied similar matters to come to the scene.
As time passed, Wei Yutang fell silent. He even began to regret that if he hadn't given Chu Qing all the access to those places, he wouldn't have been able to get in so easily, and he believed that his subordinates would have been able to stop him.
He had managed to pull through so many years before, so even if he couldn't make it through this time, it wouldn't be a big deal for him. In comparison, he was even less willing to see this person stay in the hospital for so long.
Lying in the hospital bed, his face was pale. He was already quite thin, but now he looked frighteningly thin.
Just lying there makes one wonder if she will ever wake up.
Recently, the little tiger seems to have developed a new distance from its father. Sometimes when it's sleepy, it would rather be held by a doctor or a stranger than snuggle into its father's arms.
This little tiger understood these things very well; it was because of its father that its father couldn't wake up.
So much time has passed, and this little one's mind is filled with the things he used to see.
He was so afraid of himself that after this incident, his father would never play with him like he used to.
The little one thought it had been a long time coming, and that its father was no longer as cold towards it as before.
Before she could even properly enjoy the time she received from her father's love, he was hospitalized.
This little tiger is still very young, so he is a bit impulsive.
For him, this kind of thing didn't make much difference.
He wanted his father to recover safely, and until his father woke up, the little boy would never speak a word to his father again, nor would he show him any kindness.
He noticed that his son was resisting him because of this matter, and he felt helpless.
Both of them are just waiting for him to wake up, and it's unlikely that anything will be resolved satisfactorily before he does.
Wei Yutang's knowledge of the tiger cub came entirely from what his butler and he himself conveyed.
I can completely understand the baby's resistance to me, after all, I was often not at home before and hadn't taken care of this little guy much.
In this situation, since he caused Chu Qing to fall into a coma, the fact that this little one hadn't even gone all out and bit him was already quite obedient.
The atmosphere grew more and more oppressive each day, and the rest of the team tried every possible way to find a solution, even resorting to some unorthodox methods.
Chu Qing was still somewhat conscious at first, but gradually her consciousness began to become blurred.
Even he himself began to have trouble distinguishing between reality and illusion.
He even wanted to let himself indulge in it, as if never waking up again wasn't such a bad thing for him.
The system was extremely anxious inside the space. Since becoming a system, it had never faced a challenge like this before.
It cannot contact its host at all, and the host was called away for training some time ago and cannot come back for a while.
The system could only watch helplessly as the host fell into a deep sleep, even though all the body's mechanisms were functioning properly, but the host just couldn't wake up.
Another week has passed, and the little tiger has become so disgusted with his father that he gets tired of seeing him at first glance. Yesterday, when his father wanted to come and see him, the little tiger even blocked the doorway.
Wei Yutang could tell that this little guy had already made the ward his own territory, and since he wasn't currently part of the family the little guy recognized, he was resisting his entry.
This situation is quite normal given the current circumstances. The tiger cub is not yet an adult, so he acts entirely on instinct.
Their instinct as wild beasts is to defend their territory.
Now, in this little guy's heart, he has probably become someone he rejects.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will take me a long time to win his heart.
Even just thinking about it gave Wei Yutang a headache.
Almost all the doctors specializing in mental abilities came to the hospital, discussing and trying every possible method.
Chu Qing still did not give any response. Judging from the symptoms, it seemed very much like the vegetative state that had been mentioned on ancient Earth.
When the doctor mentioned this news to the Marshal, they both felt a little reluctant to do so.
They knew about the Marshal's condition, and they also knew that for the Marshal, the match was almost perfect, and this person was his only salvation in this life, but given the current situation, it seemed quite difficult.
Even setting aside this relationship, after spending so much time in the hospital, the doctor could see just how important Chu Qing was to the marshal.
In some ways, the animal cubs here are more like wild beasts in their early years. If a tiger cub loses its father, it will probably fall into depression for a long time, and some may not even live to adulthood.
Just like animals in nature cannot live without their parents, these things are similar.
Because these cubs possess not only the instincts of wild animals but also the intelligence of human cubs in their early years, it means that their emotional needs are stronger during this period.
If they really have no way to wake Chu Qing up... then Marshal's family will probably fall apart.
No one wanted to see this happen. Even though they had a vague idea of what would happen, they were still unwilling to give up their last hope.
The doctors' performance has given the best answer. Everyone wanted to try again even after it was declared impossible, partly for the marshal, and partly because they didn't want to miss out on such a talented prospect.
The little tiger has become increasingly quiet and withdrawn lately, and even its occasional growls have become somewhat weak. It is also aware that its father's life is gradually slipping away.
When no one else is around, the little one will rub his head against Chu Qing.
The little tiger was too young to understand what separation and death meant to a human being, but he knew that if he couldn't keep his father alive, they would probably never see each other again in this lifetime.
For the little one, this is the worst possible outcome.
Every day, the little tiger would also put all the snacks that his father had generously given him to eat on his father's bedside.
Previously, this little tiger could hardly eat any snacks. Due to his health condition and the advice of many doctors, these snacks were practically unheard of for him.
Recently, because he has not had much appetite at mealtimes, the doctor suggested that it is more important to make sure he eats his fill in this situation, which is why he has been able to get snacks.
Every day, the little boy would place his favorite snacks next to his father and try to wake him up, hoping that his father would immediately get up and scold him for eating so many unhealthy snacks.
If Daddy gets up now and tells him that these things are bad for the baby, he will definitely be obedient from now on and will never touch them again.
The longer the people waited in the hospital, the more desperate they became. They all knew that this kind of completely irreversible damage to their mental strength was, in a sense, a terminal illness at this stage.
After Chu Qing was completely enveloped in darkness, he also fell into exhaustion.
It was as if a voice in his mind was telling him that if he felt too tired, he could close his eyes and get a good night's sleep.
For someone who is slightly tired, these words can easily stir up the deepest desires in their heart, clamoring for rest and forcing them to give in.
And in that moment, another exceptionally firm voice appeared in his mind, reminding him that he couldn't just fall asleep like that. He still had very important things to do, and in some very far place, someone was waiting for him to come home.
Two voices repeatedly tugged at his mind, making him feel as if he had been split in two.
One half of him was clamoring for rest, while the other half was reminding him to stay awake. Caught in this dilemma, he felt increasingly exhausted and began to involuntarily turn in the other direction.
Without needing another voice to repeatedly brainwash him, he began to persuade himself on his own.
No matter how serious the final task was for him, he was simply too tired and just wanted to rest.
Another voice in his mind, because his own choices were also becoming smaller and smaller.
Presumably, this voice will disappear completely from his side soon.
After letting himself fall into depravity, he felt much more comfortable. He no longer needed to expend the energy that had been struggling to hold on. He felt as if he were soaking in warm water, which was very comfortable.
