Chapter 172 Who Is Down? (Part 2)(1/2)
PS: I wish you all a happy new year!!!
The black SUV drove towards the hospital at a rapid speed, and there was something obviously wrong with Kim Jong-ming sitting in the car.
"What are you thinking?" Zhaoyan couldn't help asking. "I've never seen you lose your composure..."
"I didn't think about anything." Kim Jong-ming replied with a headache. "Or... I lost my composure because I couldn't remember it."
"I can't remember anything?" Zhaoyan asked.
"I can't remember the knowledge of the spine." Kim Jong-ming's tone suddenly seemed calm. "So I was a little worried... but in fact I also know that it would be useless to not go to the scene to ask the doctor."
Zhaoyan immediately nodded: "Then don't think too much, let's talk about it when you go to the place, it's close to you anyway."
Park Sooyeon said nothing. The hospital that admitted Sooyoung was the closest to the Jingbu Expressway - Seoul Samsung Hospital. This hospital is located at the southernmost point of the Gangnam region and has even reached Xianling on the outskirts of the city. Coincidentally, Guanyuesan, where Seoul University is located, is also located in the south of Seoul downtown, and is almost parallel to the downtown area of Seoul.
Therefore, bypassing the prosperous city and passing directly from the secluded Niumian Mountain, you will soon arrive at your destination.
Of course, then again, no matter how fast you are, you are always faster than those reporters who have sent the news. When Kim Jong-ming arranged for the driver to wait in the car and took Zhao Yeon out of the car, the entertainment reporters who came towards him were his tide.
"I'll ask you one thing first... what's the injury? I heard it's the spine?" Because I was anxious, even though I saw these reporters being blocked by the hospital security, Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but ask about the situation.
"The news now is that there is indeed a fracture in the spine."
"I heard that my hip bone was also broken, but it doesn't matter."
"And the arms."
Someone from the reporter verified the worst news. It is reasonable to have a spine and hip bone injured at the same time. It is nothing more than direct damage to the back, and it is common for an arm to be injured in a car accident.
"Let's go and have a look..." Jin Zhongming adjusted his mood and wanted to go in.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming, it's useless for you to go in." A reporter quickly followed and added. "The doctor is still undergoing emergency surgery, and now there are only traffic police officers who are sent to the hospital... Who do you ask for information when you go in?"
"Where is Xiuying's family?" Kim Jong-ming asked in a daze.
"We are all doing charity in Changchun area of Jeolla South Province, and are still rushing here... Isn't Miss Choi Soo-young the car accident that happened on the road because of this?"
Jin Zhongming was a little confused in an instant: "Where is the company? They should be very close to each other. Have you come? I'll go and inquire with them..."
"The company hasn't come yet." The universal reporter began to explain again. "Girls' Generation just recorded a new album yesterday, and they are about to hold a concert in the Taiwan Strait on September 2nd. So, Miss Choi Soo-young actually had a car accident during a private event during the holiday. The company will not get the news earlier than you did..."
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, and then he was a little confused. To be honest, he was a little confused by this group of people.
"Jung Ming." Park Soo-yeon finally couldn't help but pull the other person from behind. "We should go in and wait at this time. If Soo-young comes back, he must want to see an acquaintance first..."
Jin Zhongming suddenly realized that he immediately ignored these reporters and walked into the hospital with his legs raised. None of these reporters dared to stop them, so he had to make way out and let the two leave.
At this time, the benefits of having a celebrity face appeared. The nurses and security guards in the hospital knew that the two were acquaintances of Choi Soo-young, so they did not treat the two as the group of entertainment reporters outside the door, but took it for granted to explain the floor and location, and took the initiative to take them there.
In this way, the two of them waited in distractedly at the operating room door of the neurosurgery and orthopedics department for a while, suddenly a doctor pushed the door out from the inside, holding an X-ray photo in his hand.
However, what surprised the two of them was that before they came forward to ask, the other party actually came over and said hello: "Mr. Jin Zhongming, long time no see."
"Hello, doctor." After the other party took off his mask, Kim Jong-ming immediately felt a little confused again, because this person was the attending doctor when Eun-jing broke her knee. "I really didn't expect to meet again..."
"Hello, doctor." Park So-yeon obviously had some impression of the other party.
"For my profession, it may not be a good thing to meet all the time." The doctor couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I'm here to ask about Miss Choi Soo-young's injury, right? When I came, the experienced traffic police were talking nonsense. I heard that the injuries to the coccyx and sacrum had been spread, right?"
"What is talking about the spine and hip bones outside..." Kim Jong-ming explained the situation in a daze.
"Oh?" The doctor suddenly realized. "That's a rumor...it doesn't matter, but I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, you won't be paralyzed! The human spinal cord does not penetrate the entire spine, but it actually disappears when it reaches the tailbone...safe."
Jin Zhongming felt relieved in an instant. This was indeed what he had been worried about. At this time, he felt that the sweat on his forehead had become solidified under the influence of the hospital air conditioner, and it was a little...uh, sticky.
In fact, Kim Jong-ming was thinking and worried about Soo Young's injury along the way. To be honest, he couldn't remember whether Soo Young had such a car accident in another time and space. But what is certain is that since he had no impression, it means that even if he had a car accident, the injury was not to the point where it was very serious.
So, Kim Jong-ming was completely confused by a possibility - would there be a car accident last time, but it was not a big deal. This time, the other party injured his spine and was actually driven by his own butterfly effect? This car accident, such as this injury, was slightly pulled by the butterfly wings, and it is likely that Soo-young's life would change.
This is the real reason why Kim Jong-ming felt lost all the way and even was a little confused when he met reporters - he felt guilty that he was indescribable and even had no trace.
"Then the doctor... let's get back to the topic, what is Sooyoung's real injury?" After calming down for a few minutes, Kim Jong-ming finally continued to ask.
The doctor's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. Although it only flashed by, for a director, Kim Jong-ming still noticed this keenly.
"So that." The doctor slightly lowered the glasses frame. "Since the surgery for this injury has certain risks, we cannot decide whether to have an immediate surgery if her family doesn't come... So, at present, we can only use some conservative treatment methods, closed the patient, deal with trauma, and local anesthesia... In fact, she has been very awake since she was sent in. You can go in and see her and talk to her."
Now, Kim Jong-ming completely relaxed. No matter what, people's consciousness is clear, so how bad can it be? The doctor just now was unnatural, probably because he was not a person from Xiuying, and it was not helpful to the problem of surgery.
"Then... can we go in now?" Park So-yeon pointed to the operating room. "In the operating room?"
"Of course not." The doctor looked down at the X-ray photo on his hand. "She will be sent to the temporary ward after the external wound is processed later. You can talk to her... She should be in great pain now."
"If you get closure and you will still have anesthesia... it will hurt very much?" Jin Zhongming always felt a little confused today.
"I'll be busy first." The doctor did not answer this question. Maybe he thought that Kim Jong-ming's words made some mistakes in medical knowledge, so he waved his hands unconsciously and turned around and left.
However, after walking a few steps, the doctor turned his head and said something extra: "There is something unnecessary to give to Mr. Jin Zhongming... It's not a doctor, don't look at the wound!"
"I will definitely express my gratitude to you when I have the chance." Although it was still in vague, Kim Jong-ming could only say that.
In this way, a few minutes later, as the doctor said, the door of the operating room was opened, and Xiuying, who was lying on the moving bed and covered with a thin quilt, appeared in front of her.
As if he had noticed something, Xiuying, who was originally pressing her head in the pillow, suddenly turned her head hard and then met Kim Jong-ming's gaze.
Princess Minglang, who had always been covered with tears, her eyes were even red. Jin Zhongming tried hard to smile at the other party, but what she received was tears that could not be stopped.
After coming to the temporary ward, Sooyeon kept comforting Sooyoung, which was of course natural. However, Sooyeon didn't stay for too long because she knew that the company's people were coming soon. Maybe Lee Sooman or Kim Young-min came in person, and it would be embarrassing to be here at that time. So, about ten minutes later, seeing Sooyoung's emotions gradually responded a lot, she finally chose to say goodbye.
"Does it hurt?" Kim Jong-ming finally said the first sentence of the year to Soo-young, a childhood friend whom he knew since ten years ago. The two have not met for a long time.
"It doesn't hurt." Xiuying couldn't help but shed tears again. "Oppa, you don't know... Actually, it hurt the most when I was injured at the beginning, but it hurt so much that I was numb. Instead, I could laugh at the police and doctors... Now I've been closed and my arms have been numb, but I feel a heart-wrenching pain!"
"Don't worry." Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting beside the bed, tried hard to comfort him. "It's not really paralyzed as it was said outside... You don't know yet? Now the news of your injury has become the second place in real-time Twitter hotspots around the world. It's said outside that you have injured your spine and you're probably paralyzed... What's wrong?"
"Oppa... Actually, I've always been awake." Xiuying couldn't help crying again. "When my left arm was being treated, my phone was not confiscated, so I went online to check the news... There is an analysis on the Internet that matches the doctor's injuries... A professional doctor said in the analysis that if my injuries are not handled properly, there may be sequelae."
For Xiuying, the tears I had in her previous life were probably not as much as today, and there must be a reason for this.
"What are the sequelae?" Although he knew that his position was awkward, Kim Jong-ming, who had already been shocked, couldn't help but ask.
"I don't want to say it." Xiuying lowered her head and bit the pillow that was already wet with tears.
"I'll ask the doctor... I'm very familiar with a doctor here." Kim Jong-ming suddenly stood up and walked directly to the door of the ward.
However, when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and walked back, and walked in a hurry throughout the journey, which seemed particularly ridiculous.
"Why don't Oppa ask?" Xiuying asked in tears.
"I'm leaving, isn't it even more uncomfortable for you alone?" Jin Zhongming, who suddenly calmed down, moved the stool to the bed, making himself closer to the other party. "What's more... I just heard a friend say something."
"What's the matter?"
"Not a doctor, don't look at the wound casually." Kim Jong-ming said seriously as he looked at the other party's eyes. "So, I'm not blamed for not taking responsibility, right?"
"I... I will only be grateful to Oppa." Unexpectedly, Sooyoung calmed down. "My business... please leave it to me for my own decision. I just said it just because it was too uncomfortable to bear the news alone. What's more, when I left the operating room just now, I was really relieved when I saw Oppa... You actually made me..."
Before Soo-young could finish her intermittent words, a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang in the room. Soo-young's cell phone was confiscated, so it was naturally Kim Jong-ming's cell phone. Kim Jong-ming originally wanted to press it directly, but the caller ID made him hesitate.
"Oppa answer the phone!" Xiuying, who calmed down, immediately noticed the other party's embarrassment. "Is Sikaoni calling to ask about my injury?"
Jin Zhongming sighed and finally answered the phone.
"Wood!" Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Xika's voice immediately came out of her phone. "Why don't you answer the phone? Do you know that Xiuying was in a car accident? I saw it online..."
"I'll be in front of Xiuying, you two can chat." Kim Jong-ming quickly interrupted the other party, and as he said, he put his phone directly to Xiuying's mouth.
Sika immediately became honest and her tone became particularly gentle. Judging from her attitude, she seemed to feel that Xiuying was paralyzed.
"Okay." A few minutes later, Sika finally ended this comfort. "Sooyoung, you can rest assured, so don't think about anything like albums, we'll see you in a few days... I'll say a few words to Wood."
Kim Jong-ming had no choice but to hang up directly, but at this moment, the door of the temporary ward opened, and Lee Soo-man and Girls' Generation Soo-young's agent appeared in the ward.
Then Kim Jong-ming put his phone in his ears and walked away directly with Li Xiuman's serious expression.
"Speak whatever you want to say." After coming to a secluded corridor in the distance, Jin Zhongming responded to Sika a little upset.
"Wood... I read it online that Xiuying injured her spine?" Sika asked nervously.
"Nothing!" Kim Jong-ming scolded sternly. "Don't spread rumors. You are her teammate. What you say will be misunderstood by others!"
"Hey...that's not paralyzing?"
"What do you think? If she really might be paralyzed, can I still talk to her in the ward?"
"That's good..." Sika immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Wood, you don't know, there are rumors flying outside now, and some people say that Xiuying was actually the tailbone and something 'muggling'..."
"That's called the sacrum!"
"No matter what it is, that's even more irritating!" Xika responded in a relaxed mood. "I read an analysis post from a fan who studied medicine. It said that the sacrum is actually very important because there is a caudal nerve connected there. Once the injury is not properly handled, it may be infertile! There are these sequelae of bone injury? And what's even more irritating is that there is a coccyx bone... If it is a caudal vertebrae injury, it may cause... uh, incontinence... Wood? Are you listening? It's impossible for Xiuying to be really big..."
"If she is really incontinent, she still has the heart to cry at me?" Jin Zhongming swallowed and couldn't help but change her phone to the other side. "But think about it, the bones are broken there. Before the injury is healed, some of the difficulties in that aspect are always understandable. However, the physical pain and incontinence are always less than connected to it."
"Yes, yes!" Xika answered continuously. "Although I don't understand what you said, I think it should be right..."
"The same sentence." Kim Jong-ming's tone suddenly became stern. "As a teammate... I warn you not to spread rumors, just say good news you know. For example, if you just talked to Soo-young, she is in good spirits now... Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I know what to say!" Sika hung up the phone directly.
In the summer hospital, in silence, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but gently press the wall with his forehead, then turned around and leaned against the wall, thinking for a long time.
In this way, I don’t know how long it took, Kim Jong-ming finally packed up and returned to the temporary ward. At this time, Xiuying’s family had all arrived and were communicating with Xiuying in the ward. Lee Soo-man and Xiuying’s agent naturally came to the bench outside the ward.
Kim Jong-ming also naturally sat next to the other party: "What do you mean?"
To be continued...
