A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy
Chapter 367: There’s Still Hope
The mother of the patient in bed three—the woman who had just tried to close the door and windows—was also in disbelief.
"He’s crying?"
"Yes, he suddenly started crying!!" the woman said, overjoyed.
You have to understand, males who fall into a coma due to an excessively high Riot Value are basically unconscious.
And they would likely remain that way until they went berserk, completely turning into beasts.
But her son, comatose inside the Medical Pod, had just shed tears—and not just a single drop.
If it had only been a little, she might have thought it a coincidence, but tears were streaming from the corners of both of her son’s eyes!
This meant he still had his reason!
He could still be saved!
As long as he still had his reason, as long as he could be woken up, if they could just get a High-level female to soothe him, her son might be able to live for a few more years.
The thought of her son—how he had studied diligently his whole life, and then unhesitatingly went to the battlefield after graduation—
—only to end up in a vegetative state a few years later, lying in a Medical Pod and clinging to his last breath, made her chest ache with pain.
His life had been so short, so barren. He had never once lived for himself.
Sometimes she wondered whether it was better to have a child with great talent or one without.
A High-level Beastman cub was destined for a short life, while a Low-level Beastman cub was destined for contempt and a life of mediocrity.
Giving birth to a High-level Beastman cub had brought her glory.
So when she gave birth to two High-level Beastman cubs, she had once basked in the limelight.
But of her two prides, one was dead and the other severely injured.
At her age, she no longer cared for the admiration of others. Instead, she just wished she could have her children by her side.
But her child could only lie slumbering in the hospital, and she didn’t know when he might finally draw his last breath.
Just when she was about to accept this reality, she discovered her child was still conscious. He was waiting for his mother to save him!
How could she not be thrilled...
After waiting with bated breath for the Medical Master to finish his examination, she immediately asked, "How is he? Is he conscious?"
The Medical Master was also quite surprised.
All the patients in this ward had been lying in their Medical Pods for several months.
He had examined them countless times, and none had shown any fluctuations in consciousness.
In situations like this, death was usually just a matter of a year.
If they weren’t retired warriors, the hospital wouldn’t let these terminal patients occupy beds and waste resources.
But they were Federation Soldiers. Regardless of whether they were beyond saving, the hospital couldn’t kick them out until they either went completely berserk or stopped breathing.
So, everyone had a tacit understanding of their situation. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The moment their Spirit Seas erupted and their consciousness completely vanished, they were essentially handed a death sentence.
It wasn’t that no one’s consciousness had ever been reawakened, but such cases were extremely rare.
He never imagined that one day, he would witness a miracle!
Hearing the family member’s question, he nodded, his heart filled with joy. "That’s right. Mr. Deng’s consciousness has been awakened."
"However, he’s likely in a dazed and confused state."
"I’ll go back right now and apply for soothing treatment from a High-level female soothing master for him."
Although the application process would likely take a long time, there was at least hope now.
However, Ms. Deng was worried. "If we wait too long, will my son’s consciousness fall back into slumber?"
The Medical Master didn’t speak, tacitly confirming the possibility.
"No! He just got this sliver of hope! Doctor, please, I’m begging you, think of something!"
The Medical Master said helplessly, "Ms. Deng, I understand how you feel, but rather than placing your hopes on me, you’d be better off using your own connections."
"After all, you are a soothing master yourself. Perhaps it’s easier to talk amongst yourselves."
"It might also be easier to hire a High-level soothing master..."
If they went through official channels to request a soothing master, he would probably be on a waiting list for several months.
There was nothing to be done about it.
Although this situation was urgent, which inpatient wasn’t in a hurry?
Under equal circumstances, no one could cut in line.
Ms. Deng understood this all too well, and her spirits instantly sank.
There was also a hierarchy among soothing masters, so as a mere B-level female, she couldn’t hire a high-Level soothing master.
Her friends were only soothing masters at B-level or below.
"Then... I’ll have to trouble you to submit the application for him, Doctor."
...
Having listened for so long, the mother of the patient in bed three finally understood.
She looked at Ms. Deng with a touch of envy.
’At least her child has a sliver of hope, while mine has none.’
However, her partner suddenly gripped her hand at that moment, the force so strong it caused her a bit of pain.
"Female master... ask the doctor to check on Xiao Shen, too."
’It’s unnecessary,’ she wanted to say, but she saw the plea in her partner’s eyes.
"Then... then have him checked."
’It’s just a quick word, a moment of time,’ she thought.
The Medical Master didn’t say anything.
After all, when one patient in a shared room suddenly showed signs of recovery, it was inevitable that the families of the other patients would feel a bit of hope.
’It was just that the results will most likely disappoint them.’
However, the moment the Medical Master turned on the testing device, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe the result and even began to suspect the instrument was faulty.
But after running a diagnostic, he found that the instrument was fine, and the test result was also correct!
"Pa... Patient in bed three, testing shows... faint fluctuations in consciousness..."
"Final results indicate... clear consciousness is still present!"
"What??"
"Xiao Shen! My Xiao Shen, he can be saved! Doctor, he can be saved!"
The Medical Master was at a loss for words.
’Did our hospital secretly invent some incredible new medicine and use it on the patients behind my back?’ he wondered.
To test a certain theory, he decided to just go ahead and test the last patient as well.
The result, naturally, was that this patient also still had clear consciousness.
At this point, you’d have to be an idiot not to realize something strange was going on.
The Medical Master hurriedly began to question the visiting family members.
He asked about everything: every step they took since entering the hospital, every person they saw, every word they spoke, and every object they touched.
Fearing they might misremember, he had them confirm everything three times over.
Although the Medical Master was being a real nuisance, everyone cooperated fully since it concerned their children.
Next, the Medical Master called over the nurse in charge of the ward.
He questioned her as well, asking about every last detail.
Only after everything was recorded did he begin his analysis.
The result was that he found nothing out of the ordinary.
The treatment plan was still the one originally set, and no special medications had been used.
The families’ activities were even simpler. They had been fully disinfected before entering the ward, so even if they had touched something, they couldn’t have brought it in with them.
If there was anything strange at all...
...it was only the... song... that Miss Qi had mentioned...
