Chapter 2509: Sunshine and Hope

Experienced doctors know that many patients do not die from the first direct impact, but from the secondary inertial acceleration impact injury that follows, which is especially common and severe in traffic accident patients.

To prevent such secondary impact injuries, traffic regulations repeatedly emphasize that both drivers and passengers must wear seat belts. Seat belts can effectively limit the force of inertia. In this traffic accident, Xiao Yu’s situation is clearly a result of not wearing a seat belt.

Without wearing a seat belt, this child’s body was thrust forward violently in the first impact, hitting his forehead, followed by his head being thrown back due to inertia, the second impact being even faster, hitting precisely the critical area for life.

At that moment, he touched the child’s neck at the occipital foramen area where the head and neck connect, and found a problem. Based on his past medical experience, it was easy to preliminarily diagnose that this child had severe brainstem damage.

The brainstem experienced massive bleeding, with little chance of survival.

Traffic accidents are always a combination of natural disaster and human error, with the final outcome further influenced by the victim’s own luck.

This child was unfortunate, getting hit in the worst possible place—the brainstem.

A tragedy, truly a tragedy.

His uncle called him to report the CT results, also wanting to confirm if the situation was already what was observed on the scene, and the results matched his preliminary judgment.

The hardest part about being a doctor is this. When receiving a patient, sometimes there’s not even a chance to snatch a life from the Death God. It was as if he could hear the mocking laughter of Death in his ears, scoffing at the doctors: "You think you can snatch a life from me? When I, the Death God, truly want a life, all you doctors can do is get lost."

"Senior," Xie Wanying opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, calling softly.

Upon hearing her voice, Cao Yong’s distant and hazy warnings snapped back to the immediate present.

No matter how much Death laughs, it can’t surpass sunlight and hope. If it were a long time ago, he might have only felt dejected. It’s different now. Ever since he met her, he has more faith in the existence of sunlight and hope.

Watching Senior Cao’s handsome face turn back with a slight smile, Xie Wanying’s heart slowly relaxed: As long as Senior is okay, that’s good.

Rushing to her side, Cao Yong grasped her hand: "Come on, let’s get something to eat."

So, Student Xie did not know, when she saw Senior Cao, she felt like she saw sunlight, while Senior Cao believed that his ability to be sunny was given by her.

(This—)

As her health was recovering well, Cao Yong returned to his own department across the way to handle some work.

It was evening when, as Teacher Tan said on the phone, Teacher Shi and Teacher Xiao Sun came to visit her with some gifts.

"These are slices of chocolate cake. They haven’t been in the fridge, so you should eat them soon. I heard you like sweets," Sun Yubo said, placing a small cake box on her nightstand.

"Did Teacher Tan send these?" Xie Wanying questioned, feeling that sending sweets wasn’t exactly the poker-faced Teacher Tan’s style.

Sun Yubo got mischievous and winked at her: "Yes, Teacher Tan sent them to you."

Pop!

Teacher Xiao Sun’s head was smacked by Teacher Shixu.

"What are you saying?" Shi Xu reprimanded the young guy for making jokes inappropriately, shoving the youngster aside and handing the kraft paper folder he brought to Student Xie, saying, "This is from Teacher Tan."

It seemed the cake slices were bought for her by Teacher Xiao Sun and Teacher Shi.
