CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 453: AWAKENING, SUPERMAN
The sudden incident took everyone by surprise...
Li Xiaowan rushed into the ward, protecting her son, and then grabbed Mountain Eagle’s continuously bleeding wrist, looking anxiously at the surrounding doctors...
The attending physician stared at the instruments beside the bed, observing that the heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate were gradually returning to normal as the blood flowed out.
Once he confirmed he wasn’t seeing things wrong, the attending physician incredulously glanced at Mountain Eagle’s bleeding wrist and then shouted to the surrounding nurses and assistant physicians: "Don’t just stand there, his kidneys are still on the verge of failure, administer diuretics..."
An assistant physician looked at Mountain Eagle’s bleeding wrist and exclaimed, "Doctor, how should we handle his wrist injury..."
The attending physician frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "The external injury is not severe, clean the wound but don’t stitch it up yet, be prepared to transfuse blood at any moment."
A nurse walked to Li Xiaowan’s side and said, "Lady, please take the two children out, the patient’s condition is not very good, we need to work..."
As she spoke, the nurse handed Li Xiaowan a piece of gauze and said, "The child’s face needs to be cleaned..."
Li Xiaowan was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other party was talking about. After nodding in thanks, she picked up her restlessly agitated son and was about to walk out...
When she saw Luna tightly grasping the bed rails, she hesitated, smoothed Luna’s fluffy hair with her hand, and then holding her hand, said: "He will be alright, let’s wait outside..."
Luna wrinkled her little nose and called out to Li Xiaowan, "My dad will be fine..."
It was then that Li Xiaowan realized that the child had been calling Mountain Eagle ’Dad’...
Looking at Luna’s crystal-clear large eyes, Li Xiaowan nodded and said, "Yes, he will be fine, we need to let the doctors work."
Luna stubbornly looked at Li Xiaowan and exclaimed, "Dad will definitely be fine!"
Before Li Xiaowan could reply, she heard her son in her arms shout loudly, "My dad will be fine! He promised me!"
Luna stared with wide eyes at the frail Yue Yi and nodded vigorously, exclaiming, "He also promised me!"
Seeing the little girl in front of her actually starting to compete with her son, Li Xiaowan slightly shook her head and said, "Let’s go out, let the doctors work..."
Luna clearly sensed something and anxiously tugged at Balang’s vest, retreating with Li Xiaowan to the hospital corridor.
The sudden situation got everyone concerned about Mountain Eagle very agitated...
Over the past half month, Mountain Eagle’s deteriorating physical condition had everyone deeply worried, but the sudden change gave them a glimpse of hope.
hours later, the attending physician walked out of the ICU, looking tiredly at the many concerned faces in front of him, and finally chose to address Blood Fox...
"The patient’s condition has temporarily stabilized, but he will still need a long time of observation...
His body’s hormone levels are abnormal, we still need to conduct some tests to determine what exactly happened to him?"
Blood Fox anxiously asked, "Can he wake up?"
The attending physician furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and said, "That depends on his physical condition and will to survive.
Based on the past half month’s experience, as long as his physical condition improves, he will wake up, but it definitely won’t take too long."
Blood Fox let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and said: "There’s still a chance, there’s still a chance, having a chance is good, having a chance is good..."
Then Blood Fox looked at Li Xiaowan and said, "Mountain Eagle’s condition has temporarily stabilized. Do you need me to arrange a room for you to rest?
It must have taken you a long time to fly here, you and the children must need some rest."
Faced with the chaotic situation, Li Xiaowan firmly shook her head and said, "I don’t know who you all are, I want to stay and watch over him..."
Blood Fox looked at the determined expression on Li Xiaowan’s face, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, you might take this time to have a chat with Tessa, Daria, Sofia..."
Seeing Li Xiaowan’s slightly furrowed brow, Blood Fox shook his head and said, "Don’t misunderstand, Daria and Sofia are Mountain Eagle’s assistants, you definitely would want to know what Mountain Eagle has been doing for the past half year."
Li Xiaowan watched Luna holding Big Dog, picking at her mouth corner as she looked at her son, she put Yue Yi down on a bench, wiped the blood from his face, then smiled at curious Luna indicating her to sit next to her son...
Then she straightened up, looked around at the people who were watching with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity, and said, "Yes, I indeed need to know what happened."
...
Mountain Eagle didn’t wake up immediately because of his improved condition; instead, he remained unconscious for nearly a week more.
Rejection reactions caused immense pain in his body, and Mountain Eagle’s brain, to protect him from collapsing, autonomously entered a shutdown state.
Trapped in unconsciousness, Mountain Eagle felt himself stuck in a dark furnace, surrounded by a suffocating black box, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free from the box trapping him, nor could he escape the heat that felt like maggots gnawing at his bones.
He didn’t know how long it had been, just when he felt he might not be able to hold on any longer, the temperature began to slowly decline.
Having been soaked in high heat for so long, even a slight change in temperature made him extremely sensitive. That bit of coolness instantly made him feel incredibly comfortable, and as the coolness spread, he felt his will breaking free from the dark box.
Mountain Eagle’s fingers moved slightly, then he heard the sound of hurried footsteps around him, followed by two familiar voices...
"Daddy..."
"Daddy..."
Mountain Eagle felt his heart skip a beat; he struggled to open his sticky eyes and saw two little figures standing in front of the hospital bed, then looked up following a pair of familiar hands...
When he saw Li Xiaowan, Mountain Eagle tried to speak several times, but he couldn’t make a sound...
Tears streamed down Mountain Eagle’s face as his heart pounded violently, even setting off the alarm on the monitoring equipment.
Li Xiaowan, looking at her husband’s current state, held his hand and gently said with tear-filled eyes, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, it’s good that you’re awake, we’re here, we’ve always been here..."
Mountain Eagle only remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, he had no memory of anything after...
Looking at his long-yearned-for wife and children in front of him, he tried hard to speak, but still couldn’t utter complete sentences...
Just as he tried to touch his own neck, Li Xiaowan held his hand and said, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, the doctor said your condition has stabilized..."
Mountain Eagle struggled to raise his hand and touched Li Xiaowan’s cheek, then grinned broadly at Luna who was hopping around anxiously, and finally tightly grasped his son’s hand...
The physical pain didn’t matter to him at this moment; he just wanted to get better quickly.
However, he didn’t last long as the rapid heart rate placed a heavy burden on him. Before he could take a good look at the people around him, he passed out again.
Seeing the commotion caused by Mountain Eagle’s fainting, the attending doctor drove most people out of the room, then looked at Li Xiaowan and said, "His condition has stabilized, and he will be moved to a regular ward when he wakes up again."
Li Xiaowan, tightly grasping Mountain Eagle’s hand, looked at the doctor and asked, "What exactly is wrong with him?"
The attending physician thought for a moment and said, "I have never encountered a patient like him before...
Mr. Poincaré has invited the top doctors and scholars from the United States and Canada to consult, and the preliminary judgment is that your husband has encountered some unknown virus.
The virus replicates itself within the cells of his body, causing a severe bodily reaction."
Li Xiaowan, anxious, said, "What will happen to him? Can he recover?"
The attending physician glanced at the equipment beside the bed, hesitated, and said, "We have done many tests on his body, and from my perspective, his condition is very optimistic.
His metabolic rate, blood oxygen level, and cardiopulmonary functions are much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Furthermore, tests have shown that his mitochondrial protein uptake rate is 2% higher than that of ordinary people...
This means that as long as he recovers, his cell metabolism rate, muscle efficacy, and oxygenation will all significantly improve.
There’s something else, I don’t know if it’s good or bad news..."
Continuing, the attending physician looked at the anxious Li Xiaowan and smiled, "Normally, the growth plates in adults are closed, but we found his growth plates have opened again.
We suspect it’s because his right leg had been severely injured and combined with abnormal hormone levels in his body causing the current condition."
Li Xiaowan, pale, said, "What exactly does that mean?"
The attending physician smiled and said, "It means that if he completely recovers, he might even grow a few centimeters taller, and his bone density might be strengthened to some extent, restoring his injured right leg to its former condition.
If he fully recovers, as long as my basic knowledge is correct, your husband’s body could potentially return to the peak condition of an athlete.
For someone like me, the oxygen uptake, body fat percentage, muscle mass, nerve regeneration, and metabolic level he’s showing under these conditions, are already at an alien level to me."
Continuing, the attending physician looked at a bewildered Li Xiaowan and said with a smile, "I should make it clearer...
If your husband fully recovers and smoothly goes through this second period of bone growth...
Then you can think of him as a beast version of Kipchoge, about 190 cm tall, weighing around 100 kg, but with super strong cardiopulmonary functions and endurance.
From our current cellular level tests, the results might even be better!"
Li Xiaowan staggered slightly upon hearing this; she braced herself against the edge of the hospital bed to keep from falling...
Looking at the very excited attending physician, Li Xiaowan, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Thank you, thank you!"
The attending physician, smiling, replied, "Lady, your husband’s condition is unprecedented, if you can convince him to cooperate with me in some, um..."
Before the attending physician could finish, Butcher covered his mouth and took him outside the room...
Seeing his panicked demeanor, Butcher stuffed a check into his pocket and said sternly, "My boss is not a lab rat, he won’t cooperate with you in any experiments.
Either forget what you just said, or I’ll help you forget!"
