Chapter 190: Will There Really Be a Miracle?

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Will There Really Be a Miracle?

After several hours of high-pressure resuscitation, Ichiko’s heartstrings trembled countless times with the Doctors going in and out, and she kept fantasizing.

What if, what if?

She thought Haruko’s death was just her own unilateral judgment, and the Doctors were still working hard, maybe like last time, they could bring Haruko ’back to life’.

But...

’What do you mean by sorry?’

Ichiko stood in front of Professor Su, reached out and grabbed her collar, and cried out in collapse, ’Professor Su, what on earth do you mean by sorry!’

’Please don’t say that...’

’Haruko actually still has hope, right?’

’You’re just lying to me, right? You usually like to joke around, so this must be a joke too, right?’

Ichiko’s hand, gripping her collar, loosened heavily again, and her head weakly buried itself little by little into Professor Su’s embrace.

’Why... why couldn’t you save her? Aren’t you Doctors? Aren’t you Doctors...’

’Ugh...’

That hand clutched the sleeve behind Professor Su’s back.

Constantly pulling.

The whimpering sound rose again, but Ichiko couldn’t shed tears.

’I’m sorry.’

Professor Su repeated it again. She reached out and hugged Ichiko, wanting to give this girl, who had reached her limit, a shred of warmth and care.

But in Ichiko’s feeling, this embrace was so cold.

Only Haruko’s embrace was warm.

But she’s gone!

The sobbing and whimpering gradually lessened. She hadn’t had a drop of water for a long time and had been holding her breath to last until now.

And when the sky fell, she couldn’t hold on any longer.

She collapsed into Professor Su’s embrace.

Her face was still filled with pain and regret.

Professor Su bit her lip hard, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then beckoned for a nurse.

’Take her to rest and observe her physical condition. Let me know immediately after she wakes up, understand?’

The nurse supported Ichiko and looked at Professor Su with some concern, ’Professor, you should also go and rest quickly.’

However, Professor Su just waved her hand, signaling the nurse to leave first.

Only then did she sit beside Inari, covering her head in regret.

Inari felt bitter inside and also had the urge to cry, ’Professor Su... is there really nothing that can be done?’

Professor Su raised her eyes and looked at Inari, slowly shaking her head, ’Actually, Miss Chi was already lifeless when she was sent to the Hospital. We just... just tried our best to resuscitate her while taking out the bullet.’

’The bullet grazed her heart. Although it was difficult to remove, the power of the sniper rifle was still too great. If it were an ordinary bullet...’

No, there is no ’if’.

It has already happened. Haruko’s heart was confirmed to have stopped beating, and the possibility of shock-induced apparent death was ruled out.

Professor Su bit her lip, ’As a Doctor, I shouldn’t say anything imprecise, but if she still has a chance to wake up, then it can only be a miracle.’

Inari looked at Professor Su in confusion, ’Her heart has been confirmed to have stopped beating. What kind of miracle can bring someone back from the dead?’

This is not a fantasy world, and there is no magic.

There is even less of an Immortal Lord who can grasp something and instantly refine it.

As a Young Master, Inari could access things ordinary people couldn’t, like the limits of human ability in this world and martial arts masters passed down through certain families.

At their limit, they could only use Qinggong to dodge a bullet.

There is simply no such thing as fantasy or cultivation like in novels.

Professor Su perked up a little and explained to Inari, ’I told you before, Miss Chi’s cells are much more active than ordinary people’s, which is actually a very abnormal phenomenon.’

’And now, Miss Chi’s heart has stopped beating, many neurons are damaged, and her life force is gone, but the cells in her body are still active.’

Professor Su clenched her fists tightly, ’If, and I mean *if*, those cells can remain active and self-repair Miss Chi’s body, perhaps... perhaps when a miracle happens, she might actually be able to wake up?’

She was a Doctor, and she shouldn’t have thought like this.

But when a person is truly desperate, they will desperately cling to any glimmer of hope, no matter how slim or even unreachable, right?

Inari was silent for a long time after listening.

Reason told him that such a miracle was impossible.

But emotion made a sliver of hope rise in his heart.

Professor Su looked in the direction where the nurse was helping Ichiko leave, suppressing her emotions to force herself to be rational, and said slowly, ’Actually, what’s more important now is Miss Su.’

’Just now, her condition was very bad. She was on the verge of collapse due to her emotional breakdown. Do you know what I fear the most?’

’I fear she will lose the will to live.’

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

Haruko is completely gone.

But the problems she left behind forced Professor Su to take them seriously.

Ichiko herself was the most difficult problem to solve.

Normally, Inari would definitely refute Professor Su, saying that Ichiko was very strong and wouldn’t easily harm herself like that.

But recalling the scene at Haruko’s house, Inari hesitated again.

That petite girl collapsed in Ichiko’s arms, and the young woman, unable to accept reality, even asked her if Haruko was really asleep.

She’s already dead, how could she be asleep?

Last time was just luck, but this time, it’s different.

Ichiko was already not normal at that time.

Her body couldn’t bear it, and her mind also had problems.

He glanced sideways and asked, ’Professor, do you have any methods?’

Professor Su said slowly, ’It’s best to find Miss Su a new spiritual pillar during this period of treatment and recovery. That’s why I thought about whether the miracle I just mentioned is possible.’

’Miracle?’

’Yes.’ Professor Su nodded, ’We can weave a lie to make her believe that Miss Chi actually still has a chance to live, even if that possibility is infinitely close to 0.’

’And with this thought, she won’t give up easily. After that, everything will just fade away with time.’

Or rather, this itself isn’t entirely a lie.

Because a miracle is precisely something that is infinitely close to 0 but still possesses that sliver of possibility.

However, after thinking about it, a trace of unbearable feeling appeared on Inari’s face, ’This... won’t this be too cruel to Ichiko?’

She has already experienced this kind of pain once.

It’s clearly impossible.

Yet they still have to weave a lie for her.

What if the lie is exposed one day? Even if she has recovered a lot, won’t she have to experience this kind of pain again?

He couldn’t help but look at Professor Su, ’Are there any other methods? She... she has already suffered enough. I hope she can be happier in the future, rather than living in a mental cage because of such a lie.’
