"Doctor! The patient is losing pulse!"
"What? How could this happen?! Hurry up and give him CPR; also prepare for defibrillation and inform his family; they would still be here in the hospital!"
"Doctor, the CPR is not working!"
"Then charge the defibrillator to 200 joules!"
Buzz!
"He is still losing pulse."
"Do it again!"
Buzz!
"Still not working? Increase to 300 joules!"
Buzz!
"Continue with CPR and push 1 mg epinephrine fast!"
The doctor quickly gave instructions to maintain the pulse. However, despite several additional shock attempts, the pulse failed to recover, ultimately leading to its loss.
"Doctor, he is not breathing anymore," the nurse declared with a pale face.
"The god is really cruel; he is just a high school student," the doctor shook his head with pity.
"Yes, he even saved his little sister's life that day, yet he still can't live," another nurse sighed with emotion.
A week ago, a runaway criminal drove a car into a standing bus. In that bus were Lin Yu and his little sister Lin Mei, who were on the way home.
When Lin Yu saw a car was going to crash at high speed, the first thing he did was protect his little sister. After that he didn't have time to protect himself, so when the car crashed into the bus, he suffered a serious head injury.
The injury was grave, and when he came to the hospital, he was already in a coma. Even after treatment, he displayed no signs of waking up. It had been a week since then, and despite the slim chances, everyone hoped that he would wake up.
But clearly it was just a hope, and his vitals had finally disappeared.
"Did you inform his family?" At this moment, the doctor inquired.
"Yes, I said he is in critical condition and told his mother to hurry up here."
"Okay, I will handle it later. By the way, record every reading about his death and remove the saline tube as well as the monitors. In the meantime I will inform the police; this would be a little troublesome since he is a suspect, so make no mistakes," the doctor said with a serious look.
Hearing him, the nurse nodded, and just as she was about to remove the saline tube, she suddenly saw Lin Yu's eyelids trembling a little.
"Am I seeing things?" the nurse whispered to herself with a doubt; after all, there were no vitals on the monitor. How could a dead body have this reaction?
Hence, she ignored it and grabbed Lin Yu's hand to remove the tubing from the IV cannula.
Just as she was doing this, Lin Yu's finger trembled slightly, and it latched onto her wrist.
Witnessing this, the expression of the nurse changed to horror.
"Ahhhhhh! Ghost!" she let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The doctor and other nurse were shocked by her sudden scream, and they hurriedly turned back to the ward, only to see the heartbeat monitor displaying Lin Yu's recovering pulse. Meanwhile, Lin Yu was sitting on the bed, frowning and looking around.
"Where is my sister? Is she all right?" Lin Yu inquired with a worried look after confirming he was in the hospital. He also released the terrified nurse's hand, who backed away with tears.
The doctor and other nurse were dumbfounded when they saw him talking like a normal person; however, they immediately replied.
"Lin Yu, your sister is fine, and she even went home the same day; however, your condition is very serious, so it would be better if you lay down and rested," the doctor instructed while hastily checking his current condition.
Hearing that his little sister was fine, Lin Yu put his worried heart down and inquired about a few more things.
From the doctor's words, he understood that he had been in a coma for seven days, and the only serious injury was on his head, while others were flesh ones.
'Good thing I didn't get hurt too much; if not, Mom and Xiao Mei will be worried to death,' Lin Yu thought with a relieved look, and his eyes moistened a little as he recalled their figures.
Although only seven days had passed since the accident, for him it was ten thousand years because the accident made his soul travel into the immortal world.
When he arrived there, he was listless and dispirited, especially after understanding he might not be able to see his family again. However, he still held the hope and tried to find a way to return.
It was at this moment he found a forbidden technique of space and time that could allow him to achieve this.
After founding this technique, he cultivated diligently, reaching the top of the immortal world in just ten thousand years. Many people respected him and feared him; his status there was akin to a god. However, none of this mattered because he had reached this level of development solely to be reunited with his family.
Just as he was busy with his memories, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the ward.
It belonged to a thirty-six-year-old woman whose eyes were red as she tried to hold back her tears.
Along with her was a six-year-old little girl, her big eyes brimming with tears, and she had a face of self-blame.
The little girl was Lin Mei, Lin Yu's little sister; as for the woman, she was Xu Jing, his mother.
Just a few minutes ago Xu Jing got a call from a nurse who told them Lin Yu's condition was critical and requested to hurry back.
Knowing her son's condition was not good, Xu Jing's heart tightened, and she hurried back while holding herself from crying.
"Mom, Xiao Mei," Lin Yu called with a heartache as he saw their current looks.
Xu Jing's face was haggard and filled with extreme worry, while the little girl appeared pale, resembling a sick person.
It had been only a week, yet they turned like this because of worry. Thinking of this, Lin Yu's heart ached more.
"Mom! Brother is awake!" Lin Mei couldn't help but exclaim before directly bursting into tears and running towards him.
"Why! Why did you protect me and not yourself? You are a bad brother; you're a smelly brother! I hate you; I won't talk to you anymore!" She cried loudly with resentment.
If not for the fact Lin Yu was lying on the bed, she would've hit him and bitten him to death for doing such a stupid thing.
Watching her like this, Lin Yu could only smile wryly before nodding with agreement.
"Yes, I am a bad brother; I am a smelly brother; I am even stupid," he said as he reached out his hands to wipe her tears with heartache.
How could he not feel pain after seeing her like this? He had raised her after all. From the moment Lin Mei was born, he had been with her and taking care of all her needs.
His mother and father were also there; however, they were busy with their small business; hence the responsibility of the little girl fell into his hands. Although this little girl was a troublemaker and stubborn, he still doted on her.
As she watched the two of them converse, Mother Xu Jing's tears began to flow uncontrollably. When she found out that her son and daughter were in the bus accident, her soul almost left her body.
It hadn't even been a year when Lin Yu's father, Lin Zhen, had gotten in a car accident. Although he survived, he had lost both legs. So how could she feel good after learning her flesh and blood got into a bus accident?
Later, when she found out about Lin Yu's coma state, she almost fainted on the spot. The only reason she was able to hold herself was because Lin Mei needed her care.
She was, after all, involved in an accident; watching her own brother not wake up, how could she be fine? Although she fought with him always, she also loved him, and if something happened to him because of her, she would definitely blame herself forever.
"Mom, why are you crying? Aren't I fine now?" Lin Yu inquired with a wry smile.
Hearing him Xu Jing rolled her eyes at him and wiped the tears away before patting his head gently.
"I will go home and bring your dad here. He would be very happy after knowing that you are fine," she said.
Since Lin Zheng's legs were amputated, she was the one who took care of him and brought him everywhere in the wheelchair.
If not for the fact he can't walk, he might have also come to see Lin Yu this morning.
"Okay, you go, but inform the dad first; if not, he will worry for nothing," Lin Yu replied with a nod.
After this, Mother Xu Jing said a few words to him and her daughter before taking her leave.
On the way, she also met the doctor and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Lin Yu; only after that did she leave.
Now inside the ward, only Lin Yu and Lin Mei were left.
The doctor and nurses left as soon as the mother and daughter arrived. They had already checked Lin Yu's body, and knowing there was nothing wrong, they didn't stop him from meeting or talking with anyone.
"Xiao Mei, what's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?" Lin Yu inquired with a worried look, and he saw hesitation and worry in her eyes.
"No, there is nothing. It's just I am scared of you leaving me," Lin Mei hurriedly shook her head with panic. She really wanted to tell what happened after the accident; however, remembering the words of her mother, she decided not to.
Lin Yu knew she was hiding something; however, he didn't force her.
"You didn't have enough sleep these days, right? Why don't you come up and take a small nap?" he suggested gently as he saw the dark circles under her eyes.
"No! I don't want to sleep," Lin Mei rejected him without any hesitation. She was afraid the moment she closed her eyes everything would change and her brother would never wake up.
But how could Lin Yu allow her to be like this? She was just a kid, and sleep was essential for her. Hence, he could only press her sleep acupuncture before making her lie down beside him.
"Just sleep well; I won't be going anywhere," he muttered as he ruffled her soft hair with a gentle look.
If anyone from the immortal realm saw him like this, they would definitely suspect if he was the real supreme immortal or not. After all, many people knew he was cold and rejected people from thousands of miles away.
Even women and fairies weren't able to get close to him.
After playing with Lin Mei's hair for a while, Lin Yu finally decided to check on his body. After using that forbidden technique, all his cultivation was lost, and he was like any mortal.
However, he had anticipated this event and had prepared by bringing some strands of 'Zhen-Yuan-Qi' with him. This can protect him from life-threatening danger, help him cultivate, and heal his injuries.
'The spiritual Qi on the earth is thin, so it would be beneficial if I don't waste this 'Zhen-Yuan-Qi' on something minor,' he thought in his heart after checking his injuries.
Although the head injury was serious, the doctor had already done a good job; moreover, as long as he cultivates, he will recover rapidly.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and decided to start cultivating now.
But before he could do anything, a white light flashed before him and directly drilled into his head.
"How is this possible?" he exclaimed in shock.
