Just before noon, Beibei was called into an office with Yang Xiao. The doctor, with graying hair, adjusted his presbyopic glasses, holding a report in his hand, and with a somewhat strange expression said, "The test results are out. Your friend's body indicators are all very normal, just as if she were asleep. However, we've tried many methods and still can't wake her up."
"A vegetative state?" Beibei panicked.
"No, the symptoms you're talking about are usually caused by severe brain damage that results in the loss of cerebral cortex function, but your friend shows no external injuries at all." After a pause, the doctor cautiously offered his advice, "This is the situation now. Our town hospital is not as well-equipped as those in big cities. I suggest arranging for a transfer to a more advanced facility as soon as possible."
