Moreover, the woman who had bumped into him just now seed sowhat familiar, but because she was wearing a mask, Bo Jingshen couldn’t recall who she was in an instant.
He didn’t dwell on it, having more important matters to attend to. Thus, he imdiately followed the correct route to the otolaryngology departnt in the adjacent building and successfully brought a doctor to the inpatient departnt.
Shen Xun wasn’t intentionally being masochistic; he simply didn’t want to leave Su Zhe.
So since the doctor was already there, and he didn’t need to leave Su Zhe’s side, he naturally didn’t refuse treatnt.
"Did this happen suddenly?" the doctor asked after conducting a series of examinations.
Shen Xun nodded and thought for a mont before typing on his phone, "Earlier, when I was on the phone, it wasn’t like this. My throat was just a bit hoarse; I didn’t think much of it."
Su Lu frowned, looking at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, what’s the situation?"
Lei Yang was in the room; he had originally co to explain Su Zhe’s current condition. Knowing that Bo Jingshen had gone to fetch an otolaryngologist, he decided to stay and wait.
At that mont, standing nearby, the otolaryngologist turned his gaze to Lei Yang, who, after a brief exchange of looks, understood the doctor’s implication, "Psychogenic?"
The otolaryngologist nodded, "We didn’t find any issues with the organs, and there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the vocal cords either, so it must be psychogenic. Sotis, sudden and significant upheavals leading to intense emotions can have a profound impact on the body, which is why so diseases are referred to as psychosomatic, like thyroid and mammary gland disorders."
"And in your case, it’s likely a psychogenic aphonia caused by severe emotional fluctuations in a short period," the doctor concluded.
Su Lu imdiately asked, "Is it serious? How long will it take to recover? What’s the treatnt?"
The doctor continued, "Psychogenic illnesses are unpredictable because they’re not organic changes. If it were due to organic changes, we could at least be sure that treating the organ pathology would lead to recovery, but we can’t make such determinations with psychogenic conditions."
Lei Yang then added, "However, since we can ascertain that his recent intense emotional fluctuations are related to Su Zhe’s safety, we might as well wait till Su Zhe wakes up to see if there’s any improvent. If not, we’ll then consider psychological intervention and counseling."
Such a diagnosis and plan, of course, didn’t reassure Su Lu. Even though she remained anxious... there was no other choice for now.
After the otolaryngologist left the room, Shen Xun, who had been quite impatient earlier because he was anxious to learn about Su Zhe’s condition, had refrained from speaking while the otolaryngologist was diagnosing and Lei Yang was present.
Now that he had left, Shen Xun hurriedly asked, "How is Zhe doing!!!"
His three exclamation marks on the phone screen clearly showed his intense emotions.
Lei Yang then began to detail Su Zhe’s condition, which was relatively stable. In fact, Su Zhe’s situation was more serious than Lei Yang had anticipated, yet it was still a distance from the worst-case scenario.
To put it simply, nobody was dying imdiately, but without proper treatnt and care, it was uncertain.
So Shen Xun was still quite nervous.
Lei Yang felt it was best not to scare him further; already mute from shock, who knew if things could worsen?
Thus, Lei Yang toned down his usual dical rhetoric and spoke sincerely, "As long as the treatnt is followed properly, there shouldn’t be any serious problems. You all shouldn’t worry too much, otherwise, when Su Zhe wakes up, the psychological burden might even be heavier. You all know him and must understand, he dislikes causing trouble for others the most."
What Lei Yang said indeed made sense.
And his words also indeed provided so reassurance.
After he left the ward, Shen Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Lu brought him so warm water, and Shen Xun felt he couldn’t drink any more. He waved his hand to refuse, but Su Lu was fierce. She didn’t give him a chance to refuse and forcefully stuffed the cup into his hand, saying fiercely, "Drink! You must drink it all!"
Shen Xun frowned.
Su Lu couldn’t help but say, "What will Mom do if she cos and finds you’ve lost your voice?"
Her words touched a soft chord in Shen Xun’s heart.
His brows were furrowed, but he still held the cup and gulped down the warm water mixed with honey.
Zhao Tong was getting tired, sitting outside in the small living room on the sofa, yawning like a machine gun, one after another, non-stop, his eyes tearing up from yawning.
It annoyed Su Lu and Bo Jingshen so much that they ended up sending him to the hotel to rest.
Zhao Tong didn’t insist. His greatest strength was not forcing himself. If he couldn´t do sothing, he just wouldn’t do it to avoid making a ss and troubling others.
Sotis, this didn’t seem like a strength, but at tis, this trait indeed saved others a lot of trouble.
Zhao Tong got up and rubbed his eyes. "Then I’ll rest a bit, and I’ll co back later. If my brother wakes up..."
Before he could finish, Su Lu interrupted, "If he wakes up, wait until you’ve rested well before you co over, so you don’t collapse before he’s even awake."
Zhao Tong nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, I’ll just sleep for a few hours."
Zhao Tong left the ward.
Su Lu walked up to Shen Xun. Shen Xun turned his eyes towards her. Although he had lost his voice by now, his gaze was full of refusal.
Su Lu said helplessly, "I’m not trying to persuade you to go back and rest, but you need to rest for a while, right here."
She pointed to Su Zhe’s bedside. "You can just lie down here, even closing your eyes would be good."
Shen Xun didn’t seem inclined to agree until he heard Su Lu say, "That way we can take turns, or else all three of us will burn out together..."
It was then that Shen Xun slightly relaxed, seeing the fatigue clearly written all over Su Lu’s face. As for Bo Jingshen... it was none of his concern.
Su Lu continued, "You sleep a bit first, then take over for so I can rest."
After thinking it over, Shen Xun lay down by the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
He initially thought he couldn’t possibly fall asleep due to his anxious heart, but he had to admit that Su Lu really understood him well, arranging him to lie next to Su Zhe’s bed.
Even in the hospital room, where the sll of disinfectant was quite strong, once he closed his eyes and his other senses intensified, Shen Xun felt as if he could clearly sll Su Zhe’s scent.
It was fresh and crisp, like the air on a snow-covered morning. It was a scent unique to Su Zhe.
He had been intoxicated by it countless tis before, which is why, despite thinking he couldn’t sleep, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
