They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Luo Chi was fast asleep on Ming Weiting's lap.

His breathing was light, even and weak, his thin and sharp back undulated slowly, and half of his face was buried in his arms.

Ming Weiting put his arms behind his back, and after confirming that the strength was strong enough, he continued to pick him up carefully, and put him back on the hospital bed to lie down.

"Sir." Ming Lu waited for him to cover Luo Chi with a quilt, and said at the right time, "The expert team has almost reached a conclusion."

Ming Weiting nodded: "Let's go."

He covered up the last bit of quilt, straightened up and walked to the door, but was stopped by Ming Lu: "Sir, keep the coat."

Ming Weiting stopped in his tracks, he unbuttoned his suit, handed the coat to Ming Lu, and asked, "Why?"

"It's the habit of people on the shore." Ming Lu said, "The clothes are still here, which means you will come back."

There is no such problem on board.

No matter how large the cruise ship is, the space is limited. Without considering various emergency measures, anyone's activities will always have a relatively fixed range.

But it's different on land.The land is vast, and the roads on it extend in all directions, and there are countless places farther than the distance.Anyone can come, anyone can go anytime.

Ming Weiting nodded, remembering this matter.He watched Ming Lu hang his coat on the hanger, took a closer look, and suggested that the position was not conspicuous enough: "It can be placed in a more obvious place."

Ming Lu held his suit and smiled when he heard this: "Yes."

Ming Weiting said to Luo Chi, see you later, left the ward, and went to the consultation office.

He slowly held his hand on the road, and there seemed to be a coolness between his knuckles.

Luo Chi's hand was powerless, it was cold and soft in his palm, apart from rushing to find something to protect himself, he didn't have any voluntary activities.

Recognizing Luo Chi in the rain that day, he bought Luo Chi's painting and sent Luo Chi to the hotel.Although the chat that night was a bit laborious, the two of them were very happy.

Although now I know that Luo Chi must not be really happy at that time, but at least at that time, the smile in those eyes was still pure and bright.He looked at Luo Chi talking happily, he looked into Luo Chi's eyes, and thought of the cleanest night sky dotted with stars he had ever seen on the route close to the North Pole.

He didn't notice anything, and when he saw Luo Chi regained his vitality, he felt relieved.

After Luo Chi settled down, he left the hotel temporarily to discuss the business that was not that important, and he actually thought about coming back.

Luo Chi didn't know about this.

Luo Chi really thought that he was going to leave, so he stopped him when he reached the door.

Luo Chi stopped him and stared at him intently.For a moment, he suddenly had a flash thought, Luo Chi seemed to be very uncomfortable, but Luo Chi was only in a daze for a while, and then slowly rolled his eyes.

Luo Chi rolled his eyes, and then just like today, he couldn't see whether Luo Chi was uncomfortable.

After a few minutes, Luo Chi suddenly regained his former vivacity, and generously stuffed the script into his hands continuously.

Luo Chi stuffed the script into his hand, his right hand was really not strong enough, and he dropped the script several times, so he added his left hand and stuffed the script into his arms together.Luo Chi's right hand was hanging by his side and trembling, as if he had never said such a thing or done such a thing, but he raised his eyes bravely and looked at him desperately.

Luo Chi looked at him and assured him again and again that this script must be quite valuable, maybe even more valuable than the business he was going to negotiate.

It was him who was too stupid.

It was because he didn't understand Huo Miao's words.He took the happy Luo Zhi outside as real.

He didn't see the dim fire that had been trapped in the thick fog far away, and because he had almost completely lost the ability to communicate, he had to use this method laboriously, clumsily, with the last bit of strength and effort. Bravely asked him "stay a little longer, okay".

He should have learned the habits of the people on the shore earlier, and even if he really wanted to leave temporarily, he should have left his coat in the room.

From now on, Luo Chi was alone in the room, and he never wore a coat again.

There are already people waiting for Ming Weiting at the door of the office.Seeing him coming, someone immediately greeted him and led him in.

The Patriarch of the affiliated family was also there, quickly dragging the chair away for him and letting him sit opposite the conference table.

Ming Weiting restrained his mind and focused on listening to Luo Chi's diagnosis.

"It is indeed a tumor, and the location is not very good, but the imaging findings tend to be benign, and the prognosis of surgical resection will be very good."

After a long paragraph of technical terms, the attending doctor gave the answer as clearly as possible: "Mr. Luo's hearing abnormalities, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness on one side of his limbs, and a large number of missing memory fragments are all caused by the compression of some brain regions. .”

Ming Weiting listened quietly for a while: "In other words, after the operation, all these abnormalities can be restored."

Ming Weiting said: "As long as he takes good care of him, he will be as healthy as before."

"That's right." The doctor nodded, and then explained in detail, "The deafness caused by the tumor compression is one ear. Mr. Luo's right hand and right leg weakness symptoms can be recovered, and the original hearing level on the right side can also be restored."

Luo Chi's hearing loss on the left side was caused by an old injury in childhood. If the injury was treated in time, there would be no sequelae.

Even if due to some special reasons, the treatment was delayed until three years later.If targeted remedies can be carried out immediately after being brought back, most of the hearing can be restored, let alone the frequent tinnitus until now.

The treatment time window for this kind of traumatic deafness is very narrow. If you want to intervene now, you can only consider hearing aids or cochlear implants.

"However." The doctor hesitated for a while, "The location of the tumor is not good, and there may be memory impairment after surgery, which probably cannot be avoided."

Ming Weiting asked: "Don't you remember the past?"

"It's very likely...but the skills and living abilities you have acquired will not be affected. These are not in this position." The doctor showed him the scan results. "What will be lost is probably a lot of memories about people and things in the past."

Ming Weiting nodded: "Understood."

Seeing his calm reaction, the doctor also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not necessarily a bad thing."

The reason for the joint consultation of several departments is because although this part of the problem is important, it is not the most urgent at all.

Luo Chi's mental state is very poor, and he has already shown obvious numbness.This is not because of the lump in his brain—in other words, Luo Chi has been trying his best to protect himself by himself, it is because of this sudden illness that he did not realize that he finally no longer has enough self-protection. ability.

If it weren't for the frequent attacks of dizziness and nausea, Luo Chi might not have been stuck in the shopping mall and had to hide in his car, and that car would not have been destroyed.

If it wasn't for the fact that his right leg was getting weaker and weaker, even walking normally would become a problem. When Luo Cheng blocked him in the hotel, Luo Chi could turn around and leave.

With Luo Chi's physical condition, he should be able to retain part of his hearing on the left side, so he won't be completely deaf.It was the pervasive malice that enveloped him airtightly. He really had no ability to process anything he heard, so he automatically blocked those voices.

... If it wasn't because he couldn't hear, Luo Chi would have known that when he had just offered the price for the painting, that Mister Shadow had already paid the bill without hesitation.

This disease created cracks in the armor that had always been strong, and the malice that had never been weakened naturally surged in along this crack.

Those people finally succeeded, and Luo Chi was completely swallowed up and sucked into the pitch-black sea of ​​ice.

Because Luo Chi's mental state was to be discussed, the psychology department obtained some information obtained from the Ming family's investigation, and they realized the difficulty of the situation when they read it.

"Other problems are not difficult to solve, but Mr. Luo's own state must be restored first."

The doctor said: "Take good care of your body first. At least all indicators meet the surgical standards, you can respond to the outside world, and you have the most basic desire to survive before you can consider surgery."

Ming Weiting was silent for a moment: "How long will it take to adjust?"

"It's not urgent, you can take conservative treatment first. If there is a more familiar and relaxed place, you don't have to be hospitalized, but you need to strictly monitor your physical condition and come for a review every week."

The doctors have already discussed the answer: "Three months to half a year is too late, if the condition is still not good by then, we can only force the operation."

Ming Weiting had finished asking what he wanted to know, so he didn't speak anymore.

He flipped through the compiled treatment plan page by page until he saw the last page clearly, and then closed the whole plan.

"Sir," said the person next to him, "it's not all bad."

He looked at Ming Weiting's face, and said carefully, "If it goes well, Mr. Luo's life will be completely new after he recovers."

"It will go well." Ming Weiting put away the treatment plan, stood up and thanked the doctor, and walked out of the meeting room before looking at him, "You belong to the Xun family."

Ming Weiting thought for a while: "Xun Zhen?"

The man followed him out, was called out by name, and quickly stopped: "Yes."

Ming Weiting lowered his head, and looked at the treatment plan again.

He knew what the other party meant, this illness made Luo Chi lose the ability to protect himself, and was completely swallowed up by those malice, but it also made a mistake, giving everything a chance to start again.

Luo Chi is cured and can completely let go of the past.He can do everything he wants, go where he wants to go, be whoever he wants to be, and never be bound by anything.

But that fire didn't need to be bound by anything.

That is the freest soul in the first place, and it should be chasing the wind in the mountains and playing with the moon in the stream.He could have encountered that fire on a pleasant long flight, it must be the most dazzling one in the crowd, and it can be seen at a glance anywhere.

He didn't know what a good thing it was, and how good it had to be, so that even one illness and almost losing one's life could be regarded as a rare relief and redemption.

"Your family's specialty is medical treatment." Ming Weiting asked, "Are you authoritative in psychology?"

"Authority, I learned this myself." Xun Zhen said, "We will arrange the most reasonable treatment and counseling process, and send the most suitable consultant to talk to Mr. Luo."

Ming Weiting nodded.

These arrangements have been discussed in the meeting room, Ming Weiting has heard clearly, what he wants to say is another thing: "I want you to treat another patient."

Xun Zhen was stunned: "Who? Someone related to Mr. Luo?"

"A lunatic." Ming Weiting neither said yes nor no, "has been crazy for several years."

It is impossible for him to allow this person to have any relationship with Luo Chi, but if it is about blood relationship, the answer to this question is really obvious.

"Insane, recuperating at home." Ming Weiting said slowly, "everywhere it is said that my son is wayward and lost his sister..."

Xun Zhen reacted instantly: "Madam Luo?"

Probably because he realized this matter too fast, and at the same time he blurted it out, he also noticed the instant coldness in Ming Weiting's eyes.

Xun Zhen squeezed the cold sweat on his palm and lowered his head.

Mrs. Luo doesn't get sick all the time.When she was in good condition, in order to ease her heart and let her relax, Luo Chengxiu asked her adopted son to accompany her to some less formal gatherings.

... How many people and how many times has Mrs. Luo told this matter?

How many people know Luo Zhi like this?

Xun Zhen didn't know either. All he knew was that his wife had listened to it no less than ten times, and his ears were almost callused.

Once when his wife came back, she couldn't help complaining to him.

—what can I say?Even if a seven-year-old child can do anything headstrong, can he still steal and sell his sister?Didn't take good care of the child and lost the child. Isn't it the parents who should reflect on it?

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, after all, this is the Luo family's family affairs, and outsiders like them are not good at evaluating it.The wife could only try not to talk to her, and then gradually alienated the nervous Mrs. Luo.

"I've seen her a few times, typical hysterical psychosis, but it shouldn't be that serious."

Xun Zhen said cautiously: "She seems...indulging her illness on purpose."

Was Mrs. Luo's spirit normal when she became ill?Naturally, it is impossible to be normal, and it is almost impossible for normal people to imitate whether it is chaotic behavior or performative affectation.

But whether this kind of onset is caused by strong stimulation and can't bear it, or is she deliberately letting her mind fall into this chaos, she would rather live in such a muddled and crazy way to escape some harsher punishment... Only she herself My heart is clear.

Ming Weiting didn't care about these things: "Can it be cured?"

"It's very easy. The course of this kind of disease is not long." Xun Zhen replied quickly, but couldn't help frowning, "But... Will Patriarch Luo agree?"

Although it is not difficult to treat, the problem is not in the difficulty of treatment.

They are just hospitals. If the Luo family didn't have the willingness to treat Mrs. Luo, they couldn't bring people into the Luo family, tie them up and force them to receive treatment...

"Patriarch Luo?" Ming Weiting seemed to have just remembered this person, "That's right."

Seeing his expression, Xun Zhen felt a coldness rise behind his back for no reason, and he swallowed dryly.

...He also suddenly remembered that before he came to the hospital, he heard people say that the Luo family's business seemed to have suddenly exploded into a serious problem overnight.

The commotion was so great that even those who had nothing to do with it vaguely heard about it. It seemed that only the Luo family's container was detained at the port.

The Luo family has been advancing bravely recently. Through the birthday party they held for their adopted son, they got in touch with several multinational companies and are vying for several big projects.

The early stage of the project burned a lot of money, and the working capital of the Luo family was back and forth between the main company and several subsidiaries, and the time was accurate to half a day.The money for the goods had already been paid in advance, but suddenly there was a hole there, and the liquidated damages were soaring every second.

However, the Luo family themselves are in a mess these days, and no one can count on it.

Luo Jun's ability is not weak, he should be the most powerful right-hand man of the Luo family head.These days, he didn't know what happened to him. He left the beleaguered company alone, but kept looking for people to inquire about Luo Zhi's affairs.

The film and television company that the adopted son of the Luo family had just got was hit by a thunderstorm. The little star who was the mainstay had completely lost his chances, and there was a mess of chaos everywhere.

The owner of the Luo family was so anxious because of this mess, he tried everything, and called everywhere overnight to ask for help.But with the current momentum of the Luo family, families with ordinary friendship have long avoided it, and they are afraid that they will also be involved in some right and wrong.

The head of the Ren family is Ren Chenbai, and this person can't be found anywhere.Ren's father was originally a son-in-law who came to visit, and he just sipped tea and practiced calligraphy every day, and couldn't care about the slightest business, so he could only say sorry to Luo Chengxiu.

Until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, some of them still received phone calls from Luo Chengxiu, but they stopped after that, and there was no further movement from the Luo family.

Time has dragged on until today, and the liquidated damages over there is already a figure that even they are speechless.Many people couldn't help but discuss in private that such a bottomless hole, even the Luo family would have to sell their assets to fill it.

... When they talked about it this morning, they still felt strange.

With such a big incident, could it be that Luo Chengxiu was so busy until two or three o'clock that he spread his arms and went to sleep?

"He seems to be drinking tea at my house."

Ming Weiting lowered his eyes: "I forgot to ask someone to let him go back."

Xun Zhen was tongue-tied and stunned for a while.

He had seen the battle of "drinking tea" in the Ming family, and at this moment everything was finally connected, he couldn't help lowering his head, and sighed silently in his heart that he had done what he had done.

If Patriarch Luo couldn't figure it out, it wouldn't be long before this went on, and I'm afraid he would have to admit one more patient.

"Put it back." Ming Weiting said, "Go and take his wife away in front of him."

Ming Weiting thought for a while: "If he wants to protect his wife so much, he can disagree. If he wants the goods, let you take them away."

Xun Zhen shuddered unconsciously: "Yes."

"Tell him, give him half a day to deal with housework." Ming Weiting looked at his watch, "Come to drink tea in the evening."

Xun Zhen bowed his head in response, and took out his phone to arrange one by one.

After Ming Weiting finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and went back to Luo Chi's ward.

……

He really wanted to go back and find Luo Chi soon.

He did something wrong last time, he shouldn't have talked about that business.Although I had to leave temporarily this time, I still felt anxious.

Ming Weiting walked quickly back to the front of the ward.He walked outside the half-hidden door, and when he stretched out his hand to open the door, he heard Ming Lu talking to Luo Chi inside.

Not long after Ming Weiting left, Luo Chi woke up.

After waking up, I was alone in the ward, and Mr. Shadow was not there, so Luo Chi didn't have any special reaction.

When Ming Lu came back after arranging things, he found that Luo Chi was awake, so he helped Luo Chi to sit up, talked to him slowly, and showed him the coat that Ming Weiting left behind.

Luo Chi leaned against a row of soft pillows at the head of the bed, slightly bent his eyes, and listened quietly to what Ming Lu said.

"It's true." Ming Lu looked at him like he was looking at his own grandchildren, and his voice unconsciously softened, patiently and slowly making his mouth more obvious, "Mr. will be back in a while."

Ming Lu took the suit jacket and put the sleeves in Luo Chi's hands: "Touch it, it's real."

Luo Chi's right hand was placed beside him, and when Ming Lu touched the crisp fabric of his suit, his eyes bent a little more, and then his eyelashes fell quietly and slowly.

Those pale fingers could not bear the weight of the cloth, and were slightly bent under the pressure.

Ming Lu took the cuff away from his fingers, Luo Chi did not respond.

Ming Lu stopped talking, and slowly put the suit on Luo Chi's body.

The current Luo Chi can't handle this sentence. Luo Chi has no memory related to "really coming back", so he can't trigger any response.

Luo Chi's last memory related to this situation is that he wanted to use a script to leave a stranger Mr. Shadow.

It was because he was not brave enough to say that sentence firmly.

That Mr. Shadow guy is nice.

If he spoke his mind well and clearly, Mr. Shadow would stay with him for another five minutes.

Probably triggered by the same scene, Luo Chi suddenly opened his mouth and moved his throat with difficulty.

It seems that he hasn't used this place to make a sound for a long time, the airflow is blowing, and the burning pain is burning, he doesn't know if he has succeeded: "Shadow..."

The first time Ming Lu saw him have a clear autonomous reaction, he hurried forward: "What do you want?"

"Shadow." Luo Chi's throat hurts badly, and his head also hurts, as if something is stirring unscrupulously, and bright red molten iron is poured in, "Shadow, sir."

Luo Chi sat blankly, he was tormented by this long-lost severe pain and broke out in a cold sweat, vaguely aware of someone coming in, and instinctively suppressed all reactions.

From a very young age, Luo Chi did not let others see him suffer.

Those who care about him are sad because of his pain, and those who care about him should not be sad.Those who hate him are happy because of his pain, and he will not make those people happy.

Luo Chi's consciousness was blurred by the pain, he didn't know anything, he just slowly rolled his eyes.

Then he saw a shadow in the fog.

The chaotic consciousness suddenly became a mess in his mind, and the gears of his thinking that hadn't been turned for a long time had already rusted and couldn't move at all, just grinding his nerves back and forth.

He's a little liar, he's not generous, he's not generous, he wants to leave a shadow with a script.

He is so happy, he wants to be happy for another 5 minutes, he is not brave enough, if he can do it all over again, he will definitely do the bravest thing.

He would grab Mr. Shadow, ask him to take a photo with him, and generously ask him to stay with him for another 5 minutes, and he would play the guitar for him.

Mr. Shadow took his hand.

...Luo Chi looked at his hands.

His mind couldn't turn at all, and it took him a long time to realize that there was another person's hand in his hand.

Luo Chi was a little puzzled, he moved his eyes in a daze, trying to focus on the fog bit by bit.

Ming Weiting held Luo Chi's hand tightly, and gently rubbed his hair with the other hand.

Then he saw a pair of unchangingly curved, black and empty eyes, suddenly there were big tears gushing out unstoppably.
