Chapter 266 Carry You for the Rest of My Life (1/2)

The experts that Young Master Shen had contacted finally arrived three days later. After examining Xin Qing, they came to the same conclusion as the doctors did.

”Mrs. Ying's condition is something that is beyond even us,” said the oldest member of the team of foreign doctors. ”However, there is a way that might work.”

Ying Qingcang's eyes brightened. ”Please, do tell us.”

”I once had a patient who went into PVS after a car accident. She had been bedridden for five years. But her husband loved her deeply and never gave up on her. He had even impregnated his wife while she was still comatose.”

Ying Qingcang frowned. ”And then?”

”While performing a C-section on her, the doctors noticed a change in her brain waves, or what we call neural oscillations. And after the child was born, the patient woke up.”

At this point, Ying Qingcang was not the only one who was taken by surprise; Young Master Shen was, too. ”She woke up?” Young Master Shen said. ”Someone actually recovered from PVS after giving birth?”

The doctor nodded. ”Yes. However, she was just mentally awake. She was still unable to move her body.”

”Okay, but was she capable of speech?” Zhang Mi asked.

”Yes,” the doctor said, ”she could speak. She could move her eyes as well, and she was also capable of conscious thought.”

Young Master Shen's Adam's apple bobbed twice as he swallowed. He stared at Ying Qingcang and said, ”Considering the circumstances, I think getting Xiao Qingqing to wake up is the toughest part. As long as we can get Xiao Qingqing to wake up, everything else can be handled.”

”Yeah!” Zhang Mi agreed. When she noticed the dark scowl on Ying Qingcang's face, she quickly added, ”We can ask Chen Huan and the old chieftain to look into it later on. Regardless of Xin Qing's condition, there has to be a way to return her body back to normal!”

Ying Qingcang said nothing, merely turned around and sat down beside Xin Qing. Young Master Shen sighed and sent the doctors off. After that, Young Master Shen called Chen Huan and told them about the doctors' conclusions, which led Chen Huan to calling the grandmaster. To everyone's surprise, Chieftain Mo Lin dropped by the hospital the very next day.

”The grandmaster and I share the same view as the doctors. There are plenty of cases where vegetative patients recovered after receiving external stimulus. So, now we just have to wait seven more months!” Then, the chieftain gave Ying Qingcang a small box. ”There are seven vials of drug inside. Add it into her IV drip together with her parenteral nutrition every month.”

Chen Huan took the box and studied it. ”There won't be any side effects, right? Like, it won't affect the baby?” They had a huge scare last time after that whole debacle with the genetic modifying drug.

”It's not going to be a problem!” The chieftain glared at Chen Huan. ”You think my stuff is like those dangerous gimmicks that the grandmaster plays around with?”

Ying Qingcang gave the old chieftain a deep, penetrating stare. ”I have your word that the child won't be affected?”

”As long as you give her the drug on time!” Said the old chieftain with absolute conviction.

To Ying Qingcang, seven months was a long period of time; no doubt each and every day in those seven months would feel like a year. Right now, he was on the verge of uncontrollable rage. Before leaving, the old chieftain told them that he would keep researching and try to find a way to save Xin Qing. After that, he left.

Zhang Mi finally had enough when Ying Qingcang had once again thrown out the documents that Ah Nan had brought for him to sign.

”What the hell do you think you're doing, huh?” Zhang Mi said, bursting into the room. ”You were away for three years! Three years! And Xin Qing had spent every day of those three years guarding your legacy. She's a woman who had to struggle to stay on top in a world dominated by men. You think that's easy? You think she wanted that?”

”I'm sure you understand how she is,” Zhang Mi said. ”She didn't have any great ambitions or visions or whatever. She just wanted to have a normal life with you and live life like an ordinary girl. But because of you, she had found her courage and strength.” Zhang Mi's eyes became red-rimmed. ”And what about you? Now that she's bedridden, it's your turn to step up. But other than stare at her and talk to her, what else have you been doing?”

”That's all I can do at the moment. Talk to her and speak to her,” Ying Qingcang said slowly as he wiped Xin Qing's hand.

”But that doesn't mean you can ignore everything else!” Zhang Mi panicked. ”You guys still have your children. You're not just a husband. You're also a father!” Zhang Mi dumped a heap of folders onto the table. ”You no longer want the company that Xin Qing had worked so hard to guard, is that it? Then you should have said so earlier. Because I want it!”

Young Master Shen had been standing quietly at the doorway the whole time. He had been helping out with Ying Enterprises' corporate affairs these days; he had to find a way to make Xin Enterprises' acquisition of Ying Enterprises seem legit. Regardless, he had to admit that Ying Qingcang was definitely a corporate genius; on the surface, Ying Enterprises seemed like a glorified company, but in actuality, it was nothing but an empty shell.

A slight internal issue was all it took to break its capital chain immediately. Soon, the company was forced to start selling its shares. Xin Enterprises then took the opportunity to swoop in and buy its shares. This major corporate buyout involving Xin Enterprises and Ying Enterprises was all over the newspapers. Nobody knew what on earth had happened to Ying Enterprises. Reporters had been camping out at the entrance of the company, hoping to get an interview with Ying Qingcang. Little did they know that the man was actually hiding out in the hospital.

”I want to bring her back home,” Ying Qingcang said after a long time had passed.

Zhang Mi rolled her eyes. Great. Just f*ck*ng great. Perhaps the man had not even been listening to a single thing she said just now.

”We have a private doctor in Ying's residence. Right now, the only thing Ah Qing needs is her parenteral nutrition. The environment is better at home than here at the hospital. That way, I can go to the company without having to worry.”

Young Master Shen and Zhang Mi shared a look with each other. They both sighed in relief.

”Then I'll go ask the doctor. If they approve, we'll move back tonight!” Zhang Mi left to talk to the doctor whereas Ying Qingcang stood up and started packing their things; evidently, he had no plans of waiting for the doctor's approval.

Before Chinese New Year, everyone was surprised to see Ying Qingcang appearing at Xin Enterprises' annual gathering as the company's President instead of Xin Qing.

The reporters swarmed him in the hopes of interviewing him, though they were all told that Ying Qingcang did not wish to be interviewed for now but would launch a press conference after the Chinese New Year to clear things up. All kinds of rumors were circulating among the public. Those women from upper society, the same ones who had mocked and ridiculed Xin Qing last time, were now biting and tearing up God-knows how many of their handkerchiefs.

On the other hand, there was a bit of a gloomy vibe surrounding Ying's residence during this festive season.

Ah Sha entered the room noiselessly. She stroked Xin Qing's hand and asked, ”Daddy, can we launch fireworks at the lawn?”

Ying Qingcang was sitting beside Xin Qing's bed. In his hand, he was holding Xin Qing's journal. He nodded and said, ”Go ahead. But be careful, okay? Don't hurt yourself.”
