4709 Never Too Late to Love (116)

When Bai Sheng heard this, she was extremely touched!

This meant that they welcomed her…

Initially, Bai Sheng was worried whether she’d be able to integrate into such a huge family! Now, it seemed that these worries were unfounded!

A thought suddenly struck Chu He and she looked at Gu Linxi curiously. “Has she come to?”

No names were mentioned, but Gu Linxi knew whom his mother was referring to. His expression instantly darkened…

He sighed deeply and put down his chopsticks. Suddenly, he felt like he’d lost his appetite.

The moment they saw him sigh, they knew that the situation was not looking good.

Gu Jinglian frowned as well. “Still unconscious?”

“Yes. The doctor can’t say for sure when she’ll come to.”

When Bai Sheng noticed that everyone’s expressions had turned serious, she was at a loss.

She leaned closer to Gu Chengze and whispered, “Who are they talking about?”

“A friend of ours.” Gu Chengze explained, “Do you still remember the president of Shengyu?”

“Yes… I remember, Director Yun.” She remembered him clearly. After all, back then, the employees at the sales office had bullied and looked down on her. That man had decisively meted out punishment and protected her.

“His sweetheart.” Gu Chengze said, “That girl has been in a coma for a long time. I don’t know when she will wake up. He said that when she wakes up, he’ll marry her.”

“…” Bai Sheng was stunned to hear this. “Why is she in a coma?”

It was not as though this was a fairy tale about Sleeping Beauty. To be in a coma for such a long time, she could only think of one possibility. That was… Someone in a vegetative state.

“Is she in a vegetative state?”

“No.” Gu Chengze shook his head and said, “I don’t know why… One morning, she just didn’t wake up no matter how hard they tried to wake her. Her vital signs were normal, but she was not responsive. At that time, we were all scared out of our wits. We thought that she had suddenly died of brain failure. But after examination, we were told that her brain went into hibernation without any warning. However, all other physical indicators were normal.”

“How did this happen?”

Bai Sheng was a little surprised. “How could this be? What did the doctor say?”

“Not to mention the doctors in our country, even doctors around the world don’t know much about this field.”

“What’s her situation?”

Gu Chengze turned around and looked at her deeply. He said quietly, “Multiple personalities.”

Multiple personalities…

Before this, Bai Sheng had rarely heard of this term. At best, she came across it in movies and novels.

However, she had only heard that people in a vegetative state could go into a coma.

…

People in a vegetative state…

In addition to retaining some instinctive neural reflexes and metabolism, cognition of one’s own existence would have been completely lost.

They would not actively move and would be unconscious for an unlimited period of time. Other than the brain stem retaining functions, the body is able to digest and absorb nutrients to maintain metabolism, breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, and so on.

They may produce some instinctive reflexes to external stimuli, such as coughing, sneezing, yawning, and so on. However, the body would no longer perform high-level neurological activities unique to humans, such as consciousness, perception, and thinking.

…

Yun Tianyou silently put the documents aside as the car drove into the hospital parking lot.
