Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Awake (Asking for guaranteed monthly votes at the third watch)
Yuan Huakun, upon hearing these words, finally experienced a jolt of energy. Was this the Body Tempering Pill that could ultimately save his father’s life?
At this point, he had no choice but to gamble, “Doctor, we’ve signed the agreent.”
The duty chief had fulfilled his obligation to try to prevent this, but upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but speak up, “Regardless, shouldn’t it be administered nasally? Does the patient have swallowing capability?”
Just as he finished speaking, he was astonished to find that the patient’s throat seed to have…moved slightly?
Feng Jun wasn’t trying to be mysterious. The Body Tempering Pill would dissolve imdiately upon entering the mouth; not only was nasal administration unnecessary, but it might even affect the efficacy of the dicine.
As for Elder Yuan’s loss of swallowing ability, a little manipulation with his Inner Qi would suffice.
After placing the Body Tempering Pill into the man’s mouth, Feng Jun proceeded to check his pulse.
Unexpectedly, just as he grasped the patient’s wrist, he heard a muffled groan, and Elder Yuan on the bed shuddered violently.
“Dad,” the three siblings of the Yuan Family exclaid in surprise.
The old man having had no physical response for two full months, now his body not only moved, but also made a sound; the joy they felt was beyond asure.
Following that, Elder Yuan’s mouth emitted unintelligible groans, as if he was trying to say sothing, but no one present could understand him.
His body then began to tremble, starting with slight shivers and gradually increasing in intensity.
The eldest sister was most observant, “Dad is starting to sweat from his forehead!”
In such a mont, everyone could only turn their attention to the master, as nobody knew what was happening.
Feng Jun slightly raised his eyebrows, his face expressionless, “This is the Body Tempering Pill taking effect.”
While speaking, he loosened his grip and straightened up, “That’s enough for now.”
The eldest sister pointed at Elder Yuan on the bed, shaking like a sieve, “My father…he’s just going to be like this?”
“It will pass soon,” Feng Jun glanced at Elder Yuan on the bed, “Elder Yuan, I know you can hear . This pain, even your grandson Yuan Youwei endured it. You can’t let a child mock you, right?”
These words indeed had an imdiate effect. Elder Yuan on the bed stopped shaking very quickly.
“All right,” Feng Jun picked up the jade-green Jade Vial and casually tossed it to Yuan Huakun, “Take the rest of the dicine in three doses, once every two days.”
Yuan Huakun’s reflexes were quick; he neatly caught the Jade Vial and was montarily stunned upon hearing Feng Jun’s words, “Aren’t you going to help administer it? I haven’t learned your massage techniques.”
“Those aren’t necessary,” Feng Jun glanced at the on-call doctor, “if it weren’t for soone deliberately interfering.”
“Why would I go out of my way to interfere?” The on-call doctor, seeing Elder Yuan’s response and knowing that things were improving, still couldn’t accept such an accusation, “Your actions don’t conform to dical knowledge, and you refuse to explain while carrying a very bad attitude…”
Though there was improvent in the patient, he couldn’t let this go—I rember you were about to kick out just now!
Feng Jun looked at him, and unemotionally inquired, “When you’re doing ergency resuscitation, do you explain first or save the person first?”
“Are those the sa thing?” the duty chief retorted with widened eyes, quite discontent, “I am a doctor, I have professional knowledge.”
“I am not a doctor, but I too have professional knowledge,” Feng Jun replied coldly.
“That’s not for you to say!” the duty chief grew even angrier, “Professionalism isn’t self-proclaid. We go through extensive learning, internships, and exams, and we need various certifications!”
“I was requested by the patient’s family,” Feng Jun remained unfazed, “They recognize my professional knowledge.”
While saying this, he started walking out, “Your professionalism cannot be questioned, but mine is not even considered professional?”
Seeing him actually about to leave, Yuan Huakun panicked and swiftly stepped in front of him, “Master, you can’t just leave like this.”
“My task here is done,” Feng Jun turned to face him directly, his expression blank, “I’ve given you the remaining dicine, what more do you want to do?”
Yuan Huakun knew he had upset the master earlier by not helping to stop the duty chief. This displayed his distrust and certainly made the master uncomfortable, but…wasn’t it all because he was overly concerned? “Master, the patient hasn’t awakened yet.”
Feng Jun replied coldly, “After the dicine is finished, if he doesn’t wake up, then co find !”
Knowing he had offended the master, Yuan Huakun didn’t want to let him just walk away and thus gave a look to his second sister to do sothing.
The second sister hurried forward, blocking his path and smiling awkwardly, “Master, we really do trust you. We didn’t obstruct you just now.”
Feng Jun spoke with a dark face, “Then don’t block now, or else I will take my dicine back.”
“We’ve paid for that dicine…” The second sister started, but then abruptly stopped, realizing that they hadn’t actually paid for either of the pills.
Feng Jun sidestepped her and left.
The second sister looked at their father in the bed, then out the door, montarily at a loss, “What do we do now?”
The eldest sister spoke up, “What to do? Of course, we watch over Dad. Huakun, can you ask the hotel to find a way to keep them here?”
Yuan Huakun’s brow furrowed. His older sister, despite emigrating overseas, oddly often exhibited a sense of entitlent. With a wry smile, he said, “Deliberately holding him up, that certainly turns him into an enemy.”
“But dad still hasn’t woken up, we can’t just let him leave like this, can we?” the older sister’s brow furrowed.
By this ti, Yuan Huakun had cald down. After carefully considering everything, he finally sighed, “We were determined to befriend this man, how did we manage to irritate him to this extent?”
It’s because you were indecisive just now, isn’t it? The second sister sighed inwardly. She didn’t reflect on her own lack of support for Feng Jun earlier. After all, wasn’t stopping the duty doctor ant to be a man’s responsibility?
In any case, she believed that she had always trusted Master Feng, “Since we have signed the liability waiver, we should trust the other party unconditionally… any tampering with the hotel would indeed be truly provocative.”
The older sister beca irritated, “So we just let dad lie in a coma?”
While the three siblings were arguing, they heard soone groan faintly, mumbling in a muffled voice, “It’s killing !”
It was Elder Yuan himself who made the sound, weakly groaning, “Ah, it hurts so much, get a saw, saw open my head… I really don’t want to live, it hurts too much.”
“Dad, you’re awake,” the second sister scread and rushed over.
“Ah, I might as well have stayed unconscious,” Elder Yuan gasped heavily, “Ah, it hurts to death… Huh, I’m awake?”
“Does your head hurt?” the older sister pulled out her mobile phone, “I’ll call Master Feng to see how to treat this headache.”
The duty doctor hurried over as well, “Let’s do an examination first, don’t panic… we need to see the state of the lesion.”
But how easy would such an exam be? The mont soone touched Elder Yuan even slightly, he couldn’t help but struggle violently.
To speak of suffering, it was truly Yuan Zihao who had it rough. The Body Tempering Pill was famously labeled ‘help the young, not the old’ on the mobile phone plane.
Children who took it experienced much less pain, and everyone was only concerned about whether the child could withstand the imnse power of the dicine, not so much whether the child could endure the pain.
But it was different for older people. After their bones had set, they would endure trendous pain.
When Yuan Youwei took the Body Tempering Pill, Feng Jun tied him to the bed because he worried that the pampered child wouldn’t be able to bear the pain. Actually, the pain he experienced was far less than what Feng Jun, Wang Haifeng, and others endured.
Xu Leigang, born into a military compound and always considering himself a tough guy, was in utter misery when he first took the Body Tempering Pill.
Now, it was even worse for Yuan Zihao. His bones were not just set but at his age, they were shrinking.
The pain he suffered was much greater than what Feng Jun and others went through, and not even close to what Yuan Youwei experienced.
Not wanting to be outdone by his grandson, he simply clenched his teeth and groaned, but touching him caused his pain to double instantly. He had to struggle.
After trying twice, the duty chief asked in distress, “Should we restrain him?”
The older sister sullenly hung up the phone, “That guy won’t answer the phone… Sigh.”
Her mobile number was obviously a Beijing prefix; it would be odd for Feng Jun to answer.
“No… no need,” Elder Yuan muttered vaguely, obviously struggling to utter even another word.
“Sigh,” Yuan Huakun exhaled and took out his mobile phone to make a call, “I will ask Ruofang, she seed to have said that the effect of the dicine lasts only half an hour.”
“I’ll call Li Ting,” the second sister also pulled out her mobile phone, “She should be very clear about the treatnt process for Youwei…”
Half an hour later, Elder Yuan finally stopped groaning and then beca unresponsive again.
The duty chief took the opportunity to run so tests, “Hmm, the indicators have all improved, he is probably… in shock from the pain now.”
“No,” Elder Yuan spoke abruptly, his eyelids fluttering, although his voice sounded sowhat hoarse, “Water…”
The older sister was prepared, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand with the cap already open. At the sound, she quickly handed the water to the nurse.
After gulping down three or four mouthfuls, Elder Yuan was prevented by the nurse from drinking more. After about a minute’s pause, he drank a few more sips.
After doing this three or four tis, Elder Yuan finally spoke up again, his voice clearer but his tongue still sowhat swollen, an inevitable consequence of being in a coma for several months, fearing temporary loss of language ability.
“Crap, what kind of dicine is this? The inventor of this drug should be shot… Didn’t he know to give so anesthesia?”
All three siblings started to laugh; their old man was scolding people now, which was a substantial improvent.
Still, it was the older sister who was the most sensible, “Dad, can you open your eyes?”
Elder Yuan’s eyelids trembled twice before he spoke dejectedly, “No… every ti I exert my eyelids, it hurts inside my head.”
“Rest a bit, take it slowly,” the duty chief spoke softly, “After all, you’ve been unconscious for two months.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than soone hurried into the room. It was the old specialist, Elder Ye, “Is Elder Yuan awake?”
It didn’t take long for the whole hospital to know that Elder Yuan, who had been in a coma for over two months, had miraculously woken up.
