The Benefits Of Being In A Vegetative State
Ming Liuyi went online to look up how to take care of a person in a vegetative state, and found a forum by family members of vegetative people. They all had family members who were sick. They shared their experiences with each other and, most importantly, had adjusted their mentality to cope with their issues.
Ming Liuyi looked through the forum for a while and found a post from a netizen named Lingling. Her fiancé had been in a car accident and went into a coma. She had been forced several times by her family to break up with him, but she could not help going back to take care of him.
Ming Liuyi’s eyes turned red. She realized that compared to the experience of these netizens, her transmigration seemed to be nothing. After all, she knew the general direction of the future, and also knew that Yao Zizhou would wake up in three months. There was hope in everything for her, but for the other family members, they were only facing a slow and endless wait.
Ming Liuyi was actually a very emotional girl. She had been pampered by her family since she was young, so she was a little fragile, but she was kind. However, she was not a saint. She had her own way of dealing with things.
Ming Liuyi was feeling uncomfortable and was about to put down her phone, when she accidentally pressed the send friend request button. The other party answered very quickly.
By the time Ming Liuyi realized it, she had accidentally added the user, Lingling, as a friend. She looked at her phone and did not know what to say.
However, Lingling sent her a message first.
Lingling: [Good luck, friend. Don’t give up. Hope is right ahead.]
Ming Liuyi’s lips could not help but smile, and she replied.
Ming Liuyi: [Let’s do our best together! I’m a newbie in taking care of vegetative people. There are a lot of things I don’t understand. Can I ask you for advice?]
Lingling: [Sure! Just like how I believe that my fiancé will wake up to marry me, I believe that the person you’re taking care of will wake up as well!]
Ming Liuyi thought that Lingling had a sunny character, one who is truly gentle and kind. It was a mindset she was not able to emulate.
Lingling: [When you take care of a patient, you have to also take care of yourself! Don’t give up on life. Love yourself.]
Ming Liuyi: [Thank you for your encouragement. If you need any help, please let me know as well!]
Lingling: [My homepage serves as a donation site for the Charity Foundation for Vegetative People. It’s to help the families who are suffering. If you have money to spare, you can support it. If there’s an offline activity near A city, you’re also welcome to participate!]
Surprised, Ming Liuyi replied.
Ming Liuyi: [I’m also in A city, so I’ll participate in the offline activities!] Then she tapped on the link. She thought she did not need money for herself, and she still had Yao Zizhou’s limitless credit card, so she donated all the allowance she had on hand…
…but there was a limit to the transaction amount.
Lingling: [!!! You actually donated 200,000 Yuan on your first try?!!]
Ming Liuyi: [I’m sorry, is it too little? This is my newly registered account. It says that I can only pay 200,000 Yuan at most. I will continue to donate tomorrow!]
Lingling was a little flustered now. Where did this rich and innocent person come from?
Lingling: [200,000 Yuan is already a lot! You don’t have to donate any more tomorrow. Everyone is in a difficult situation, so it’s fine as long as it’s within your means to donate. By the way, are you a boy or a girl?]
Ming Liuyi nodded. She really did not think it was a lot. To be honest, whether it was Original Ming Liuyi or the current Ming Liuyi, they had no concept of money. Original Ming Liuyi was sheltered and did not have any great ambitions. And the current Ming Liuyi was the young mistress of a rich family, and never had to worry about money issues. Thus, when she looked at the figure on her phone, it did not make her react much. 200,000 Yuan was really just a fraction of her allowance.
However, she quickly replied.
Ming Liuyi: [I’m a girl.]
Lingling: [Little sister! Charitable deeds are from the heart indeed, but do not be so naive in other matters that you will just throw your money around. You should appraise your spending more carefully!]
Ming Liuyi: [Okay, thank you for the reminder.]
Lingling was a lively person, so she immediately asked the next question.
Lingling: [Can I ask, how are you related to the afflicted family member?]
Ming Liuyi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still answered truthfully.
Ming Liuyi: [He is my husband.]
Lingling: [Then our situations are quite similar. The weather has been hot recently, and my fiancé has a low body temperature, and he stays cool all day. It’s so comfortable to sleep with him in my arms.]
Ming Liuyi: […]
Lingling: [Don’t be shy. You’re already a wife, so why can’t you have this little perk? Besides, my fiancé used to take special care of his hair and applied all kinds of product on it, but now that it’s lying flat, and I can touch his hair as I please!]
Ming Liuyi’s mouth twitched.
Ming Liuyi: [You can do that?]
Lingling texted back proudly.
Lingling: [It’s normal! Don’t tell me you can resist not touching your husband? Isn’t hugging and kissing a must?]
Ming Liuyi’s face turned red. She did not think so!
