"Please save the child, please..."

Li Tianming held his forehead and saw Su Wan and Luo Ling who were confused. He smiled bitterly and said,

"Excuse me, this elder sister is also a pitiful person. Her child died at birth, but she couldn't accept it. She suffered from a serious mental illness. She kept holding her dead child and refused to let go. She also begged me to save it..."

"He's not dead, he's not dead!" The crazy woman raised her head and stared at Li Tianming, but soon begged again, "Doctor Li, please...save him..."

"Pitiful."

Maybe it was because they were both suffering, but Su Wan looked at the woman with a more complicated look, not just sympathy.

Luo Ling looked over curiously, but in her vision, she saw that the child in the woman's arms seemed to be struggling and making a whimpering sound, which was obscure and unpleasant... It was the strange cry she had just heard.

...Isn't this still alive?

So, when Su Wan and Li Tianming were sighing, Luo Ling couldn't help but say,

"But her child is still alive..."

After the words fell, Su Wan and Li Tianming looked at Luo Ling, revealing expressions of surprise at the same time.

At the same time, the crying woman at the door also heard these words and turned her head sharply.

She stared at Luo Ling, with a hint of madness still remaining in her dirty face.

Then, the woman laughed ecstatically and rushed towards Luo Ling at an almost impossible speed.

"That's right! My child...my child...he's alive! Still alive!"

She held the child in her arms in front of Luo Ling, her eyes, so gentle that they almost melted, were filled with crazy hope.

"He's still alive, isn't he?"

Chapter 2: A worsening disease

Rotten skin, rotten internal organs, blackened body, it looks like the corpse of a baby.

But it opened its eyes without eyeballs, cried babblingly, and waved its twisted limbs continuously, struggling like a convulsion in front of Luo Ling's eyes.

Caught off guard by this horrifying scene, Luo Ling subconsciously stepped back a little, a feeling of nausea rushing to his head.

What is this...

It could be a corpse or a monster, but it couldn't possibly be a living human baby!

The woman looked at Luo Ling expectantly, waiting for her answer, like a poor person hanging on the edge of a cliff, about to drown, clinging to the last straw.

The nurses nearby rushed over to hold the nearly insane woman, but even several people together could not move her body.

"it..."

Luo Ling spoke hesitantly.

"He's still alive, he's still alive..."

The woman stared at Luo Ling, muttering something crazy.

But she didn't seem to be talking to Luo Ling, but rather seemed to be trying to convince herself.

Luo Ling looked at the nurses beside her, and then at her sister Su Wan. From everyone's looks, it seemed that no one thought that the appearance of this monster here was strange or inappropriate.

In their eyes, they only saw pity and helplessness towards the crazy woman, as well as worry about Luo Ling who was being entangled by the crazy woman.

Could it be that... this is normal?

So Luo Ling plucked up his courage and said,

"Your child is still alive, but... has turned into a horrible monster."

The crazy woman's expression froze at this moment, and the nurses turned their eyes to Luo Ling, all with a hint of disbelief.

What nonsense is this little girl talking about?

Li Tianming looked at Luo Ling with some shock, but quickly concealed the expression in his eyes.

"Strange, monster?" Su Wan's expression froze upon hearing this, and she looked at Luo Ling in confusion, "Xiao Ling, you said...what you saw was a monster?"

Luo Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Please stop irritating this patient."

Li Tianming stood up and said helplessly.

"impossible!"

Just then, the crazy woman screamed.

She took a few steps back, looked at Luo Ling in horror, and hugged the scary little monster tightly in her arms.

"He's not a monster! He's my child, I gave birth to him!"

In Luo Ling's eyes, when the struggling little monster was tightly hugged by the crazy woman, he suddenly grabbed the woman's body with his backhand, opened his ferocious mouth that was cracked on both sides, and began to bite fiercely.

"Look, he's still drinking my milk... baby, slow down, slow down..."

The crazy woman suddenly calmed down again. She lowered her head and lovingly stroked the little monster's tumor-like head. Her face was full of happiness, but her arms were already a bloody mess.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the faint scent of milk made Luo Ling retch uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, the nurses nearby were so scared that they stepped back several steps, their faces full of lingering fear. This crazy woman started to hurt herself again. During this period of time, she had been treated countless times...

It’s not that the nurses didn’t try to stop it, but when they tried to stop it before, the crazy woman thought she was trying to harm her child and scratched the nurses several times in return.

But the hospital can't just ignore a crazy woman like this. After all, it is a place to treat illnesses and save lives. They can't just stand by and watch her get hurt, even if she is a lunatic who can't afford to pay.

At this time, Su Wan, who didn't understand what was going on, thought that it was because of Luo Ling's words that made the woman dig into her chest. She was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

She looked at the woman at a loss, then looked at Li Tianming for help.

"Doctor Li..."

Li Tianming saw Su Wan's embarrassed expression, realized something, and comforted her,

"Don't be nervous. It's not your fault. She has hurt herself like this several times in the past few days."

Self harm?

Luo Ling was stunned, and tried hard to suppress her nausea and discomfort, and looked again at the crazy woman who was taken away by several nurses. She saw the infatuated and loving smile on her face, and her chest that had been bitten by the little monster until it was bloody.

The little monster seemed to be aware of Luo Ling's gaze and raised its deformed, tumorous head slightly. Its pupil-less eye sockets seemed to hold a hint of mockery, and a few strands of blood and flesh were still hanging from its cracked mouth.

Luo Ling did not choose to tell this scene. She had realized...the scene she saw seemed a little different from that of others.

Is it an illusion?

But it's so real...

At the same time, Li Tianming glanced at Luo Ling, whose face changed slightly, and then walked to the woman and said softly,

"Ms. Liu, don't be nervous. Let the nurses take you to the operating room first. Then we can discuss how to save your child, okay?"

It seemed that Li Tianming's words took effect, and the crazy woman gradually calmed down, although she still held the "child" tightly in her arms.

"Let's take her to the operating room first and let the surgery department handle it." Li Tianming instructed several nurses and contacted several doctors for help.

Only after the crazy woman was taken away did Li Tianming retract his gaze and look at Su Wan, saying solemnly,

"Sister Su, your sister...may be a little different than you expected."

"Wait, Dr. Li, you mean..."

Su Wan widened her eyes slightly and wanted to say something, but Dr. Li raised his hand to stop her and continued,

"Some new symptoms have appeared. What are the specific effects--"

Li Tianming only said half of his words, and the corner of his eye seemed to fall on Luo Ling, but he didn't look at him directly.

It seemed that ever since he said that the crazy woman's child was a monster, Dr. Li had never looked at him directly again.

Although Luo Ling found it strange, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"How about this, Ms. Su, I will talk to you alone about her situation." Li Tianming's eyes flashed with some inexplicable colors, and he continued, "There are some issues that may require you to decide. After all, you are the parent."

Su Wan hesitated for a moment, looked at Luo Ling again, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and then nodded.

She seemed to still be savoring what had just happened.

Just like that, Su Wan was taken aside by Li Tianming. After a few simple words, Su Wan came back in a trance.

"Let's... go home first, Xiaoling." Su Wan said softly.

For some reason, Luo Ling felt that her sister's gaze was evasive.

She frowned slightly and looked up at Dr. Li.

Doctor Li stood facing the light. His pair of gold-rimmed glasses were filled with white light. He couldn't see his eyes clearly. He could only vaguely see that he was looking at her. The overly strong gaze made Luo Ling feel uncomfortable.

"Goodbye, you two."

"Let's go, Xiao Ling."

Su Wan pulled the corner of Luo Ling's clothes and whispered.

Although Luo Ling was a little hesitant, he still nodded and followed Su Wan closely.

......

After leaving the hospital, Luo Ling felt sleepy again. He felt drowsy all the way and fell asleep as soon as he got home.

When she woke up again, it was already the next day.

Luo Ling recalled the time she saw before she fell asleep completely, and then looked at the clock hanging in the room. She had slept for a full twenty-six hours and seventeen minutes.

Perhaps because she forced herself to be alert and go to the hospital yesterday, she was in a coma for a much longer time.

Despite this, Luo Ling didn't feel hungry at all.

She turned over and was about to record the data when there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Ling..."

"Sister, I'm awake." Luo Ling replied.

The sister outside the door seemed relieved, pushed the door open slightly and walked in.

"How are you feeling today?"

She looked a little hesitant and stammering.

His eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"It's still the same as before." Luo Ling replied. She noticed that something was wrong with her sister's expression. "What's wrong, sister?"

Su Wan sat next to Luo Ling, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking. It was not until she raised her eyes and saw Luo Ling's puzzled look that she avoided him in panic.

"Nothing, just... just asking."

"If you have anything to say, just say it, sister." Luo Ling said, "If it's about the disease, I can accept it."

When it comes to her own problems, my sister always seems indecisive because she cares too much.

"But..."

Su Wan hesitated again, but finally gritted her teeth and asked,

"Xiao Ling, when you looked at the baby's corpse yesterday, did you see a living monster?"

"...Um."

Luo Ling nodded.

To others, Luo Ling might deny it, but to her sister, Luo Ling didn't want to lie.

At this time, Su Wan's face seemed to be a little pale, and she asked again anxiously,

"What else did you see? Like...did the monster do anything to mom afterwards?"

She looked at Luo Ling expectantly, and her eyes seemed somewhat familiar.

She is strangely similar to the crazy woman from yesterday.

She was looking for an answer.

Hearing this, Luo Ling's pupils shrank slightly. Could it be that... her sister also saw it?
