Chapter 263: Semi-coma
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Before long, the gatekeeper informed Wu Chengyue that Doctor Liang had arrived. Wu Chengyue hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and saw two people walking into the gate while carrying a medicine cabinet.
“Doctor Liang!” Wu Chengyue went downstairs while greeting the other.
“Chief, does anyone need treatment?” Liang Dashu now seemed to be tidier than he was in his lab. However, his randomly tied hair and beard still made him look messy, even though he was wearing a clean white coat.
“Doctor Liang, Miss. Moli, please come to Ling Ling’s bedroom,” Wu Chengyue looked at them and said.
“What happened to the little princess?” Hearing that, Doctor Liang and Moli, his assistant, both looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise.
“Ling Ling…Her power is awakening…” Wu Chengyue responded with a sullen look.
“What! Let me see her!” The doctor and his assistant were both shocked when they heard Wu Chengyue’s words, and Liang Dashu quickly ran upstairs.
In the bedroom, he first checked Ling Ling’s body temperature, her pupils, and tongue. After that, he gently put a hand on her forehead.
Normally, when there were strangers, Ling Ling would have hidden herself away since long ago, not to mention letting any stranger touch her. But today, she only confusedly looked at the people in the room. Her eyes lingered longer on Wu Chengyue than on the others, but she made no response to Liang Dashu’s moves.
Liang Dashu was surprised by how hot Ling Ling’s forehead was. He didn’t take his hand away, but kept pressing it against the little girl’s forehead. Then, a strange wave of energy was released from his palm, slowly flowing into her head.
The other three quietly stood aside as they stared at the doctor.
After fifteen minutes, Liang Dashu’s expression turned gloomier and gloomier. Seeing the look in his face, the others all understood what happened.
Wu Chengyue’s legs were softened. He made a step backward, then turned, slowly to walk to the couch and sit down. He supported his dropped head with one hand without letting the others see his face.
He didn’t know why Ling Ling experienced all these awful things in these two months.
First, she was kidnapped and hidden out of the base by Lu Tianyu, and he made a great effort to finally find her. Days ago, she was taken away by a zombie queen and was nearby eaten. And now, she was back unharmed, but her power suddenly started awakening.
If she were an adult, Wu Chengyue wouldn’t be so worried about her when she triggered her superpower. However, she was only a five-year-old child.
Ten more minutes later, Liang Dashu reluctantly took his hand away from Ling Ling, then shook his head toward Ciao Yunlong and Moli with a serious look.
“I can’t help her. My power won’t do anything to the energy inside her body,” said Liang Dashu upsettingly. “But, it’s weird that she’s still awake,” he looked at Wu Chengyue and continued, “Her body temperature is very high. Normally, she should have fallen into a coma long ago. Why is she still awake? Well, not exactly awake…I think she’s in a semi-coma.” While speaking, he bent over and lowered his head to carefully observe Ling Ling’s eyes.
Wu Chengyue immediately raised his head. Looking at the doctor with bloodshot eyes, he asked, “Doctor Liang…what do you mean?”
Liang Dashu straightened his body and crossed his arms before his chest. He thought for a moment, then said, “I feel that the awakening of Ling Ling’s power has been paused by something. It’s like someone pressed the pause button for her. The energy inside her body is temporarily trapped by something, so it can’t go back or erupt. Simply speaking, the awakening of her power is forcibly suspended!”
Hearing his words, the other three widened their eyes with disbelief.
“Doctor Liang, is that real!” asked Wu Chengyue.
Liang Dashu nodded and said, “Yes. I’m not sure how long this suspension will last, but it’s happening now. Normally, this won’t happen…Has anything strange about the kid happened? Or, did Ling Ling experience something not quite normal?”
Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong glanced at each other. “Ling Ling has had some water,” said Wu Chengyue.
Once he said that, Ling Dashu immediately turned to him and asked, “What water? Where did she have it? Where is the water from? How could you make her drink unsafe water? What if it delivered the opposite effects?”
“Who gave us the water said that it’s good for the kid,” said Wu Chengyue, “He has no reason to hurt Ling Ling. Besides, I took a sip myself first. I gave it to Ling Ling because I felt nothing wrong after drinking it.”
Xiao Yunlong abruptly raised a hand and said, “Wait a minute, is Ling Ling’s current situation good or bad? Doctor Liang, I don’t quite understand what you said. She’s not in danger right now, is she?”
“Didn’t I say that the awakening of her power has been suspended for some unknown reason? She’s safe for now, but I don’t know how long this situation can last. She hasn’t passed the crisis, so we should keep her under observation. Do you understand now?” Said the doctor.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and responded, “I see. So, Yuan Tianxing’s water worked? If we find him and get Ling Ling more of that water, will her situation turn better?” While speaking, he turned and walked outside. “I’m going to find them now.”.
Wu Chengyue glanced at him, but didn’t stop him, only turning to look at Ling Ling. If this were really because of Yuan Tianxing’s water, Wu Chengyue would have no choice but to keep asking him for help.
“Wait, I’m going with you!” Liang Dashu abruptly said out loud, then immediately followed Xiao Yunlong out.
The expressionless Moli stayed in the room as she looked at Wu Chengyue and then at Ling Ling. She walked to the bed and bent over to touch Ling Ling’s forehead, then slightly frowned.
“Her body temperature is so high, yet she’s only in a semi-coma. How amazing!”
Wu Yueling’s clothes had been taken off by her father, because her body temperature was too high. At the moment, she was only covered in a sheet, with her hands and feet exposed in the air.
Moli pressed her hand on Ling Ling’s forehead for a few seconds, then took her hand away.
“Ling Ling’s mental state is stable, and no unusual change has happened. So, for now, she won’t suffer any mental breakdown. So amazing! What’s that water?”
While speaking, she looked at Wu Chengyue. Her face still wore no expression, but her eyes showed some curiosity.
Wu Chengyue stood up and walked to the bedside. While gently stroking Ling Ling’s long hair, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know! I just gave it to Ling Ling and hoped that it’d help.”
