MYGO's guitarist has ice attribute bonus

"okay."

Following the doctor's instructions, Aine lay quietly on the bed after finishing. The doctor walked over to her and pressed his fingers around her spine.

Aine felt the occasional touch on her waist, and she felt a little uneasy. "Doctor, why does the cerebrospinal fluid test have to be done on the waist?"

"This is called a lumbar puncture. Cerebrospinal fluid circulates continuously, from the ventricles to the spinal cord and then back to the venous system. Of all the places it flows through, the lumbar spine is the most convenient and safest place to draw fluid, so lumbar puncture is generally used to draw cerebrospinal fluid."

As the doctor spoke, a cold sterilized cotton ball landed on Aine's waist, giving her a startle.

After the disinfection was completed, the doctor picked up the needle that was more than ten centimeters long and slowly inserted it.

Less than half an hour later, the doctor stood up and said, "It's OK. Lie flat for at least four to six hours. If possible, eight hours would be better to avoid cerebrospinal fluid leakage."

Chapter 205 Inspection Ended

"Well, thank you, doctor." After thanking the doctor with a smile, Su Shi walked to Aine's bedside and looked at Aine calmly, "Aine-chan, how are you feeling?"

"It's fine now. I still only feel the pain from the needle sticking in there." Aine followed the doctor's instructions strictly and lay down obediently. "Soyorin, please keep an eye on the time for me. Call me after eight hours."

Su Shi nodded and set an alarm on her phone: "That's good."

After saying that, Su Shi gently held Aine's somewhat cold hand and continued to ask, "How was your visit to the Yokohama concert these two days?"

Aiyin squinted her eyes, a smile on her lips: "It's good, Mumu plays very well."

"Is that so?" Su Shi smiled, "That's good."

Aiyin straightened her eyes and looked at the pure white ceiling, unable to help but feel lost. "I was watching a concert in Yokohama yesterday, and today I'm hospitalized. It feels so disconnected from my life."

Without waiting for Su Shi to answer, Su Shi's mother turned and walked outside: "You two can chat first. I'll go outside and rent two beds."

Su Shi watched her mother leave and turned her head back. She sighed and pushed Ain's bangs away from her eyes. "There's nothing we can do. Once you're better, you don't have to come to the hospital."

“I won’t have to come to the hospital anymore once I’m better…” Aine’s eyes were filled with longing. “I hope that day will come soon.”

The two chatted back and forth, and soon, Su Shiding's alarm clock rang.

"Aine-chan, it's been eight hours." Su Shi turned off the alarm clock.

“It hurts!” When Aine wanted to turn over and move, the pain in her waist made her tremble. She gritted her teeth and said, “I finally know what it feels like to be cut in half…”

Su Shi, who was standing by, looked at Aine's appearance, and felt pain in her heart: "Aine-chan, slow down and eat first. The lunch box is here, I'll feed you."

"Uh-huh, okay." Aiyin opened her mouth and watched Su Shi pick up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently.

After swallowing the vegetables, Su Shi scooped up a small spoonful of millet porridge with a spoon, put it to her lips and blew gently. Then, she took a small sip of the millet porridge in the spoon, and after making sure the temperature was just right, she handed it to Aiyin's mouth.

"Come on, Aine-chan, open your mouth~"

Just now, Su Shi tasted the millet porridge first, which was naturally seen by Ain. Now, listening to Su Shi's doting words, Ain's cheeks couldn't help but blush: "Soyorin... Don't be like this, Auntie is still here, I'm so... so embarrassed."

Hearing Ain's words, Sushi's mother burst out laughing: "Little Ain, I'm so embarrassed to interrupt your playful fun."

"Eh? No...no, auntie."

Aiyin wanted to explain, but the next moment, she felt a hand gently caressing her head. Sushi's mother said gently, "Auntie will be out for a moment. I'll ask you something. Let Sushi feed you first."

"Okay, bye, mother." After saying goodbye to her mother, Su Shi looked at Aine with a doting face, "Okay, Aine-chan, open your mouth, or this spoonful of millet porridge will get cold."

Aine opened her mouth and obediently accepted what Su Shi fed her. Just as Su Shi was feeding Aine with peace of mind, a cell phone rang, interrupting the beauty between the two.

Aiyin swallowed the millet porridge and said, "Cellphone? This ringtone is mine, right?"

"Yeah." Su Shi took Aine's phone from the table.

"Soyorin, it's inconvenient for me to do this. Please help me. You can use my phone anyway."

"Yeah." Su Shi opened Aine's phone, "Chuhua? The lead singer of AveMujica?"

"Eh? Is this news about Chuhua?" Aine was a little surprised. "What did she say?"

"She said she wanted to discuss something with you and asked if you were free these few days." Su Shi turned her head, "Aine-chan, I'll just say I'm not free these few days and that's it."

Aiyin thought for a moment and agreed with Su Shi: "Okay then."

After Su Shi finished replying, the phone vibrated a few more times. Su Shi nodded in thought: "She asked when you are free. So I have to wait until tomorrow after the electromyography test to ask the doctor, right? I replied that I will tell her tomorrow."

"Ah."

After getting Aine's consent, Su Shi quickly typed on her phone. After sending the message, she put Aine's phone aside and said, "Okay, Aine-chan, let's eat."

"it is good."

……

The next morning, Su Shi woke Aine up early and watched Aine enter the electromyography examination room. She sighed softly and sat on the bench in the corridor. Next to her sat Su Shi's mother.

Su Shi twirled her fingers boredly. "Mother, you said you went out yesterday to ask something. What did you ask?"

"Yesterday, I went to the doctor's diagnosis room to ask about ALS." Su Shi's mother held her chin with one hand, with her elbow resting on her knee.

Su Shi's pupils shrank, and she grabbed her mother's other hand: "What did he say?"

"He said we have to wait for the test results to determine the cause of Xiao Aiyin's disease and clarify whether this ALS is caused by a single factor or multiple factors." Su Shi's mother lowered her head, her expression a little solemn. "If it is a single factor, then there may be hope for treatment..."

"Really?" Su Shi's body trembled with excitement.

The eight words "maybe there is hope for treatment" sounded like a ray of light piercing the deep night in Su Shi's ears, bringing her endless surprises.

"Of course, if it's multifactorial, with current technology, it's a death sentence." After a pause, Su Shi's mother turned her head and looked at Su Shi, her eyes calm. "Su Shi, the doctor said that the probability of a single factor is only about 10%, and... surgical treatment currently has limitations, and the chance of true success is almost zero."

"But... Mother, at least there's hope now, right?" Sushi grabbed her mother's hand, which was still trembling. "In the end, maybe Aine-chan can be saved, right?"

Looking at Su Shi's excited look, Su Shi's mother was slightly lost in thought. After a long while, she finally nodded: "Yeah."

It was already an hour later when Aine came out of the EMG examination room.

Seeing Aine limping out, Su Shi hurried forward to support her: "Aine-chan, how are you feeling?"

Aine turned her head stiffly, a look of intense grievance in her eyes: "Soyorin... It feels really bad. From my feet, calves, thighs to my abdomen, hands, arms, and shoulder muscles, I have to prick them one by one..."

After saying that, Aine lowered her head. “They were going to prick my tongue, but the doctor saw that I was still speaking fluently, so they left it alone… After that, they moved the needle back and forth in the muscle, changing the direction, and then applied electricity. It really felt like an eternity.”

Aiyin's aggrieved look made Sushi's heart sink. She hugged Aiyin gently and said, "It's okay. We'll go home this afternoon, dear."

Chapter 206 Is there really hope?

After Aiyin rested for a few hours and her body had almost recovered, the doctor pushed open the door of the ward and fixed his eyes on Aiyin. "Oh, by the way, I just spoke to the hospital where you were treated before. They said you had experience playing in a band?"

"Uh...yeah." Aine nodded, then pointed to Sushi next to her, "This is the bassist of our band, and I'm the guitarist."

"Ms. Chihaya, you have to know that playing in a band is very demanding on the body. Excessive muscle consumption will accelerate muscle atrophy." The doctor looked calm.

Aine nodded: "I understand. Now my guitar playing has been temporarily transferred to another good friend of mine."

"That would be great." The doctor nodded. "By the way, my daughter is in a band and is a bassist. I'll be your attending physician from now on. My name is Yamada."

“Oh, please take care of her, Dr. Yamada.” Aine was a little surprised. “But I didn’t expect Dr. Yamada’s daughter to be in a band.”

"Well, let's not talk about it. By the way, you haven't stopped taking your medicine, have you?"

“Uh…” Aine was stunned and scratched her face awkwardly, “I stopped by before when I went to a friend’s house… and when I was hospitalized in Fukuoka.”

Dr. Yamada frowned slightly. "Hospitalized in Fukuoka? What's going on?"

"Because the guitarist in my friend's band had some problems, I went to take over. Afterwards, due to respiratory problems..."

Before Aine could finish, Dr. Yamada's expression grew serious. "Normally, patients who present with respiratory failure have been diagnosed 1-3 years ago, but you've only been diagnosed so recently. If you weren't so young, you'd probably have collapsed long ago."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Yamada."

"Don't do these things from now on." Dr. Yamada turned his gaze to Su Shi's mother and said, "Are you her...?"

"Ain is my daughter's girlfriend. I happened to have some free time today, so I brought her over to see her."

Listening to Su Shi's mother's explanation, Dr. Yamada nodded and said, "Is that so? Then please remember not to let her do any more physically demanding work. She only needs to maintain normal daily muscle activity."

"okay."

Then, Dr. Yamada turned his gaze to Aine and said, "You must take good care of your body. If you don't take care of yourself, then as a doctor, I can't help you."

Aine nodded, "Thank you, Dr. Yamada."

Doctor Yamada walked up to Aine and said, "By the way, leave me your contact information. You'll be discharged this afternoon. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me directly."

……

By the time Aine and the other two returned home, it was already past four in the afternoon.

"Aine-chan, does your waist still hurt?" Su Shi helped Aine sit on the sofa.

Aine nodded. "A little bit. Doctor Yamada said it will take about three days to heal."

Su Shi pulled Aine's phone out of her pocket: "Tell your uncle and auntie."

"Oh, okay." Aiyin took the phone and just opened the address book to find her mother's number. Before she could dial it, her mother called her directly.

Without caring about her doubts, Aiyin answered the phone.

Aiyin's mother: "Aiyin, Xiaoxiang is back home."

"Eh? Sakki's gone?" Aine was stunned for two or three seconds after hearing the news, "Why did she leave?"

"She said she wanted to go home and talk to her grandfather about something, so she left."

Talk about something? What would you talk about?

Although she still had doubts in her heart, Aiyin did not ask any more questions. To be exact, she knew that her mother did not know what Xiangzi was going to discuss.

After a pause, Aine said, "I'll ask Sakki later. By the way, Mom, I went to another hospital for a checkup these two days."

When Aiyin said she went for a checkup, her mother's tone became obviously panicked: "Did you change hospitals? Which one? What were the results of the examination?"

"It's NCNP, a very famous one. We just finished the examination. Dr. Yamada said the results will be out in two weeks at the earliest. He will let me know after that."

“Doctor Yamada?” Aine’s mother asked, “Is he your attending physician at this hospital?”

"Yes."

Aine's mother continued to ask, "Why did you suddenly change hospitals?"

"Because Soyorin's mother said NCNP is better, I went." After saying that, Aine felt someone patting her shoulder a few times. She turned her head and it was Su Shi.

"Aine-chan, let me talk to Auntie."

Aiyin nodded and handed the phone to Sushi. Sushi took the phone and greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Sushi."

"Oh, hello, Sushi-chan."

Su Shi answered Aine's mother's question, "Auntie, the NCNP my mother took us to is an authority in the field of neuroscience in Asia, and they have a high level of expertise in ALS."

"Is that so? I see."

Then, Su Shi continued: "Auntie, the treatment effect in this hospital will definitely be better than other hospitals."

"Well, Auntie believes in you. When Aine's test results come out, remember to let me know. Auntie won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, bye, Auntie." After confirming that the call was disconnected, Su Shi returned the phone to Aine. "Aine-chan, my mother went to ask Dr. Yamada about ALS yesterday. Guess what he said?"

Aine shook her head: "What did you say?"

Su Shi gently took Ai Yin's hand, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "If ALS is caused by a single factor, there is hope for treatment."

“Eh?” Aine’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

After being diagnosed with ALS, her life seemed so short that she could see the end of it at a glance. The word "hope" had been erased from her life. But now Su Shi told her in person that there is hope for a cure for ALS. No one would be shocked or excited, let alone a student who hasn't even finished high school?

"So... Soyorin, you didn't lie to me? Is there really hope?" Aine's hands kept shaking.

Su Shi nodded: "Although it's very slim, but... at least it's there."

After saying that, Su Shi gently hugged Aine and said, "Aine-chan, you must take good care of your body and work hard to live. After slowly overcoming the limitations of the surgery, we will be together forever."

"Yeah." Aine nodded, "I will. I will try my best to survive."

But, after Aiyin finished saying this, she seemed to suddenly realize, "By the way, Soyorin, you just said that if ALS is caused by a single factor, there is hope for treatment. What if it's not?"

“If it weren’t for…” Su Shi bit her lower lip, but still chose to tell Aine the truth, “With today’s technology, it would be a death sentence.”

Chapter 207 Return to the Toyokawa Family

But what surprised Su Shi was that Aine's reaction was very calm. She nodded gently and accepted the fact calmly: "I see, actually, when you just explained the situation, I roughly knew it."

The more indifferent and indifferent Aiyin acted, the more distressed Su Shi felt. She gently grabbed Aiyin's hand: "Aine-chan..."

“Oh, it’s okay, soyorin, I’ve already prepared myself mentally.” Aine shook her head, “It’s nothing, soyorin.”

The living room fell into a strange silence again.
