Chapter 228: Miracle

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Miracle

As the scenery flashed by, Ichiko sat in the sports car, thinking the whole way, but couldn’t figure out what the surprise Inari mentioned was.

First, exclude the option of Haruko coming back to life; that’s simply too fantastical.

Could it be that Murasaki and Lin Fangya have been found?

Or perhaps it’s about Yuna Ge?

It could also be related to her father!

Thinking of the last point, Ichiko’s heart couldn’t help but sink a little; she originally had some expectation for this father she had never met.

But that engagement, and Murasaki’s incredibly annoying yellow hair, made the expectation in Ichiko’s heart dissipate considerably.

Just as Inari said.

If he cared about me, why didn’t he come back sooner?

Someone I’ve never even met comes back with an engagement contract, what does this mean?

She had some exposure to the upper circles, and her belated reaction was that this father wanted to use her to tie down Murasaki.

After all, according to Inari, this guy is also some kind of Dragon King.

Just as she was lost in thought, the car stopped. "What are you thinking about? We’re here."

Ichiko was startled, and quickly came back to her senses, saying, "Nothing... I was thinking about how Emi was last night."

Inari walked towards the door with his hands in the pockets of his red coat, saying helplessly, "That little one’s emotions are relatively stable, but she just feels like she has no motivation to live. There’s nothing wrong with her body itself, being kept in the Hospital is too depressing."

"I had a Doctor take care of her, and then I sent her to a cat cafe. If she doesn’t dislike cats and dogs, little animals can be quite healing."

Ichiko: "I’m always troubling you, sorr... thank you."

Inari looked at Ichiko in surprise. "I thought you were going to apologize again. This ’thank you’ is much more comfortable."

"Haruko taught me." Ichiko said, quickly changing the subject. "Speaking of which, what was the surprise you just mentioned?"

"Come with me to see Professor Su first."

Going straight up to the fifth floor, Ichiko found that Professor Su happened to be in Haruko’s ward.

The moment the familiar face appeared before her eyes, Ichiko’s originally firm gaze instantly became gentle and guilty.

Since stepping into the Hospital, she had been constantly preparing herself mentally.

It’s just taking another look at Haruko, it’s nothing.

She had also seen her in a dream last night.

But as her gaze fell upon the person on the bed, tears still involuntarily squeezed out of her eyes.

A moment of distraction even made Ichiko overlook the sophisticated equipment on Haruko.

Professor Su stood aside, waiting for Ichiko to calm down, and looked at Inari with confusion.

It was as if she was asking why Inari had brought Ichiko here.

Inari also shrugged helplessly.

He hadn’t brought her here; Ichiko had asked to come.

Neither of them spoke to disturb Ichiko.

After sitting by the bed for a full three minutes, the young girl wiped her eyes and said firmly, "Inari, Professor Su, thank you for preserving Haruko’s body for so long, but I think it’s best to cremate her as soon as possible."

As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Su, who was drinking water, almost choked.

She coughed several times and said to Ichiko, "Miss Su, please don’t get agitated. Please take a careful look at Miss Chi’s condition."

"Condition?"

She tilted her head and subconsciously looked at the electrocardiogram beside her.

It was still a straight line.

But...

Neither her skin nor her complexion looked like someone who had been dead for over half a month.

Even her brown hair was incredibly lustrous.

Ichiko reached out and held Haruko’s hand, and found that it miraculously had a trace of warmth!

She quickly looked at Professor Su. "What’s going on with Haruko? Is she still alive?!"

Professor Su said slowly, "I’m not very clear about this either. Since half a month ago, we were certain that Miss Chi had passed away. We originally intended to preserve the body temporarily, but later we found that Haruko’s heart had already stopped beating."

"But the cells in her body are still active!"

"Not only active, but they are even automatically repairing her body!"

Professor Su became more and more agitated as she spoke. "This kind of phenomenon has never happened in our country... no, or even the entire world. It’s no exaggeration to call it a miracle!"

She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down. "Now the cells are still repairing the body, and you’ve felt the body temperature that was originally gone; you can feel some of it now."

Ichiko’s eyes widened, and her breathing stopped at that moment. "So that means Haruko really still has a chance to live?!"

"We can’t conclude that." Professor Su shook her head. "No breathing, heart stopped beating, these are the facts before us."

Ichiko’s eyes dimmed considerably.

But then she heard Professor Su say, "However, we have a speculation. Now the cells in her body are still continuously repairing, her body temperature is gradually returning, and at the same time, her skin activity is maintained. Is there such a possibility?"

"That the heart that has stopped beating might start moving again one day?"

Ichiko: "This..."

"Does it feel incredible?" Professor Su asked and answered herself. "I feel the same way, even if the probability is very, very small!"

Inari was a little more rational than Professor Su. They had actually discussed this content once already, and he said.

"According to the analysis of several of my professional Professors, Haruko’s current condition might be a state of suspended animation never before discovered in medical history. Unlike the common shock-induced suspended animation, when she first entered the Hospital, we already knew that the cellular activity in her body was different from ordinary people."

"Perhaps it is this point that we overlooked that caused changes in her body that we have never known before."

"However, saying this is far-fetched and lacks any academic basis, but..."

But no other method of explanation could be found.

Coming back to life after death is a bit scary.

Attributing it to a never-before-seen state of suspended animation is clearly more reasonable.

More importantly, Inari dared not publicize this matter.

Except for Professor Su, the other few Professors who had seen Haruko were all his people. If he couldn’t trust someone completely, he wouldn’t let anyone else know about this.

Even Haruko’s death has not been announced publicly until now!

Such a miraculous thing, once discovered by the outside world, Haruko’s "body" would absolutely not be able to remain in this Hospital.

Inari looked at Ichiko, who seemed about to cry tears of joy, and smiled faintly, "Although it’s very slim, at least, just as we said before, we have a glimmer of hope, don’t we?"

Ichiko still held that small hand, feeling the lingering warmth on it.

Tear after tear fell.

The words "thank you" from her mouth were already indistinct.

Professor Su patted Inari’s shoulder and gestured towards the door.

"You still brought her too early. We ourselves aren’t sure what Miss Chi’s condition is. What if this is just unnecessary hope again..."

"Don’t worry." Inari closed the door, and finally looked at the two girls in the room. "Last time Shin was here, the momentary change detected in her electrocardiogram might not have been a faulty instrument."

"It is precisely because of such miracles that our lives are colorful, isn’t that right?"
