doctor's office.
The doctor looked at the examination report seriously.
"Mrs. Gu, does Mr. Gu have any history of mental illness before?"
History of mental illness?
When Mu Ning heard this word, her heart stopped, but she shook her head firmly, "No."
"Do you usually behave in extreme ways?"
Mu Ning thought for a while.
Gu Zhiyin’s excessive behavior...
She lowered her eyes and saw the scar on her wrist.
Recalling the days when he was imprisoned, my heart suddenly tightened.
Mu Ning pursed his lips, "Sometimes he loses control of his emotions...but not often. He is usually a very calm person. Unless it is something he cares about very much, it may irritate him..."
Mu Ninghuo raised his head and said in a hurry, "Doctor, is this normal? Ordinary people will behave excessively when stimulated. Even I am no exception. Compared to many people, he is more restrained."
As she spoke later, her voice became softer unconsciously.
The doctor looked at her solemnly and said, "Mrs. Gu, everyone's condition is different. You don't need to be too afraid. We will make a medical judgment."
"I saw the film. Mr. Gu suffered two serious brain traumas and underwent several major surgeries, right?"
"Yes, his previous admission records are all here." Mu Ning saw the doctor's stern expression and knew that the situation was not good. "What are the results of the examination? If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
The doctor put down the examination sheet, looked at Mu Ning seriously, and said word by word, "Mr. Gu's nervous system is damaged, haven't you checked it out before?"
Mu Ning was stunned, with a confused look on his face.
"Wha...what?"
"He suffered a severe brain injury when he was a child, which damaged his nervous system. It may not have been obvious before, but it may be hidden. As the working environment becomes stressful and the nerves are in a state of tension for a long time, the condition will worsen and he may not be able to control his body. For example, the convulsions you mentioned and the sudden staggering when walking are just a manifestation."
The doctor explained to her with a picture——
"The human central nervous system sends out signals, transmits them to the nerve endings, and then controls the limbs to perform corresponding behaviors. This is a complete neural closed loop, but there is an obstacle in this neural chain of his."
"For example, if a normal person wants to pick up something, he can pick it up immediately. If there is a disorder in the nerve chain, his hand will not be controlled by the brain and he will not be able to lift it or hold it stably. But if you pinch his hand, He will have the consciousness of a normal person."
Mu Ning's clenched fingers turned white, and it took him a long time to digest the doctor's words.
She opened her mouth and said, "So you are saying that if the condition continues to worsen, he may not be able to walk, eat, or even lie in bed, unable to take care of himself?"
The doctor cruelly told her, "That's right."
Mu Ning's face suddenly turned pale.
"In addition, he cannot control his emotions. If he is stimulated, he will behave aggressively. The more excited he is, the tighter his nerves will be, and the more disordered his actions will be."
The words Mu Ning heard the most were "uncontrollable".
Unable to control emotions, unable to control behavior, unable to control body.
Mu Ning took a deep breath, "Is there more?"
"It may be accompanied by intermittent amnesia, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."
Mu Ning's heart pounded, "You mean...he will forget me and everything?"
"This is just an expected guess. If the situation is good, it probably won't."
Mu Ning's face turned pale, "Can it be cured?"
"Currently, there is no such technology in medicine. We can only rely on drugs to maintain the condition and delay the deterioration of the condition."
Does that mean he has to keep taking medicine, or does it just delay the deterioration.
The doctor knew that she was very sad, and it would be difficult for anyone else to accept it.
"Mrs. Gu, don't be too sad. The good news is that Mr. Gu's sensory system has no problem, his consciousness is clear, and his thinking logic is normal..."
"But the doctor."
Mu Ning interrupted him and asked, "Which one do you think is more cruel, a comatose vegetative person or a conscious vegetative person with high IQ?"
"I saw a piece of news before. A wife took care of her husband who was in a vegetative state for ten years. She thought her husband was unconscious in bed, but in fact her husband's brain had already awakened. He had been lying in bed for ten years and could hear all the sounds from the outside world. , but he was unable to respond and told his wife that he was awake."
"Experts used instruments to detect his thoughts through his brain waves - he wanted to die. This was his only wish."
…
After Mu Ning came out of the doctor's office, he walked to the window at the end of the corridor and breathed fresh air.
The driver came to see her and reminded her in a low voice, "Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu is looking for you."
Mu Ning was silent and said, "I understand."
There was an examination that required minimally invasive anesthesia. Gu Zhiyin was already awake and in the observation room.
Before entering the door, Mu Ning had already collected his emotions.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the observation room, and saw Gu Zhiyin sitting up. She simply pulled out the needle in her hand, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She walked over quickly and stopped him, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Gu Zhiyin paused, looked at her with clear black and white eyes, and said with a somewhat cold tone, "You agreed to accompany me to check up. Where have you been for so long?"
Mu Ning heard the strange resentment in his words, covered him with a quilt, took his hand and sat down by the bed, "I'm going to find a doctor."
"Oh." He suddenly lost his temper and leaned against the bedside calmly, "What did the doctor say?"
Mu Ning lowered his head, not knowing how to speak.
She thought about it for a long time, "The doctor said..."
"Forget it, I know even if you don't tell me."
Mu Ning was suddenly stunned and raised his head in astonishment, "You know?"
Gu Zhiyin's dull face showed no emotion, "How can I not understand my own body?"
Mu Ning was speechless, "What do you know?"
"During the surgery when I was a child, the doctor told me what the risks would be." He smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that I would be so lucky and the doctor's prediction was right."
At that time, he wanted to die like this.
It was Mr. Gu who tried his best to save him.
The doctor said that even if the surgery was performed to save his life, there would be complications later on.
After living well for more than twenty years, when he was in his thirties, the worst happened.
Mu Ning burst into tears, "If you hadn't been hit with that stick to save me, would you have always been fine?"
"Not necessarily." Gu Zhiyin reached out to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, it has nothing to do with you."
"How come it has nothing to do with me?!"
His tone was calm and gentle, and he even laughed lightly, "No one can tell how many years this invisible disease will lie dormant. In the years when I was in Gu's family, when I had headaches that turned into nausea, I had a premonition that it would happen. this day."
Mu Ning swallowed his emotions and choked up, "It's all that old woman's fault. She uses you as Gu's money-making tool. She doesn't care about your body and consumes you desperately."
In the first few years after joining the Gu family, Gu Zhiyin often didn't come back until three or four o'clock after drinking.
At such a young age, Gu Zhiyin was under tremendous pressure to secure his position as president, convince the people below him, and ensure the company's profitability.
The first few years were very difficult. His life schedule was very irregular. As he grew older, various problems appeared.
"It's useless to blame her. Don't go too far. Let's go home, Ning Ning."
Mu Ning rushed over and cried in his arms.
Seeing her crying in pain, Gu Zhiyin's heart ached, and he sighed, "I didn't want to come to the hospital, but you had to come. I knew you would be sad."
"Then you can't keep hiding it from me."
Mu Ning wiped away her tears on him and raised her head with red eyes, "By the way, what are your plans in the future?"
