"The result from the operating room was that the vomiting of blood was due to the child's acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, and the pancreatic enzymes that leaked out of the pancreas dissolved a hole in the stomach wall." Fujiwara hung up the phone and said this to Gregory.

"Well, then the organ function test that was drawn from those two palms of the liver (the palms are red) turned out to be liver and kidney dysfunction," Hotaru added. "In this case, there is a problem with the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas, and whatever it is, it must be some kind of extremely complex systemic disease."

"What are the indicators of lupus erythematosus? What about the effects of steroids? Grigory thought for a moment and then said.

"Normally, his signs are starting to recover gradually, but if it's really an autoimmune disease, it should be faster than that." Hotaru's expression was a little embarrassed, because such a result was indeed a bit weird. "It feels like ...... The disease has entered the incubation period. ”

"That's great, let's stabilize all his organs, and—" Gregory suddenly frowned as he said this, and then covered his legs. "Ugh!"

"Didn't you already take methadone...... Fujiwara didn't react at first, but then realized what the problem was. When was the last time you ate it, and do you need me to open a new one for you? ”

Methadone, while analgesic longer than most genuine drugs and other normal opioids, has limits, and the last time Gregory took methadone was the morning before, more than 24 hours have passed, and the remaining dose of the drug is no longer enough to continue to keep him completely pain-free.

"Okay, hurry up and ......," Grigory said to Fujiwara, still frowning, but then added, as if remembering something. Burn the patient's fire a little hotter and give him another shot of **keto to see if we can make a comeback of his disease, so that we can carefully observe all the reactions of the disease and determine what is happening before it lurks again - adolescent children are not afraid of overdose anyway. ”

……

"Is this little bottle again?" The boy looked at Hotaru as she opened the bottle and said this. "Did my mom say I need to get you to give me vitamin supplements?"

"Huh?" Hotaru was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "Ah yes, it's vitamins, the ...... you use to keep your body healthy"

[Didn't the parents tell him about this child?] 】

"Well, I'll take my pants off first," said the boy, turning his back to Hotaru as he turned his back to Hotaru while exposing a large chunk of skin on his right back waist to Hotaru. "Is that enough?"

"You seem familiar?" Hotaru unscrewed the 0.25ml vial and began to suck up the liquid with a needle, only to find that the drug was oily and difficult to suck. "This ...... It's even harder than I thought! ”

"yes, they say this and ...... Furanone is just as hard to push, I don't know what nitrofurone is, but this vitamin is definitely difficult to inject, you need to inhale carefully and push slowly. "The boy didn't look back and guessed what was going on." Don't worry, I'll lie down anyway, even if I play for ten minutes, it doesn't matter. ”

"I'll do it as soon as possible," Hotaru repeatedly sucked up the injectable oil that contained the medicine in the vial. "By the way, do you have someone you like at school?"

She was responded to by silence.

"I won't tell your parents, just ask casually - I'm only eighteen years old this year, and I'm a big sister in a sense." Hotaru finally sucked up all the potions and pushed the air out.

"No, I don't have a girl I like." The boy eventually gave such an answer.

"What about the boy you like?" Hotaru was not surprised by this answer at all, and pointed directly to the main reason why the boy avoided and remained silent just now.

Longer silence.

"I want to ...... I don't think I like it, but I do have friends who have a lot of fun playing together. He said uncertainly.

"It's okay, let's get the injection first." Hotaru shook her head with a smile and skipped the topic. "But actually, it's not a sin to like boys, if you like it, go for it - to tell you the truth, I like girls very much!"

"Huh?" The boy was stunned. "Sister, you ......"

"If you really like it, then you don't need to shy away from it," Hotaru smiled with a healing smile. "But if the other party doesn't want to, don't force it~"

With that, she began to apply iodine to the boy's waist. "Okay, okay, I'm ready for the injection, don't move!"

Although there was a smile on her face, Hotaru was still a little difficult to let go - after all, what they had to do was to add fuel to the fire of the boy's condition, and maybe soon there would be more and more severe damage on his body.

But the truth was not what they expected.

In the evening, new test sheets arrived

"His body ...... Not only did it not deteriorate, but it began to get better at an accelerated rate? Looking at the latest test sheet, Gregory's look of surprise was palpable.

"yes," Fujiwara nodded, then handed Gregory a drink. "The patient's family gave it to us, and we have one bottle per person."

"I don't have anything like that—" Grigory glanced at it and placed it on the table, but suddenly looked at the bottle. "Wait a minute, energy drinks? This kid wouldn't drink a lot of this when he was competing, would he? ”

Without waiting for Hotaru and Fujiwara to give any answer, Grigory stood up with his cane in his hand and limped out of the office as usual.

"Why did you suddenly go limp again?" Fujiwara was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gregory's desk, where there was a small plastic cup, and the plastic cup contained a small half-green liquid.

It was the methadone that Fujiwara had just prescribed to him, and he didn't drink it.

……

"Let me ask," Grigory said, holding his cane, to the boy in the hospital bed. "Did you drink a lot of energy drinks yesterday? The kind that was given to us. ”

"Well, my mom prepared a lot for me and said that I should always be fully fit." The boy nodded inexplicably.

"......" Gregory's expression twitched, and then he looked at the parents who were waiting next to him.

"Your children...... He's going to be fine, all he's going to need is a few dialysis sessions – don't worry, his kidneys aren't necrosis, it's just that we need to speed up the process, because the kidneys aren't necrosis, but they may not be able to breathe for a while. ”

With that, Grigory sighed and looked at his leg, which was still in sharp pain.

Painful, but refreshing.
