"No more... I don't want it, I was wrong..." Shen Jin choked out intermittently, constantly trying to spit out the medicine in his mouth.
"Swallow it quickly," the man pat...
Chapter 50 I want to go back, can you come with me? [5,000 words]
He was like a child newly arrived in this world, with a pair of clear eyes, untouched by the dust of the world, so pure, blinking with utter innocence.
He couldn't understand why he was there, why he was all alone, and why no one was with him.
And... those two people who just left, he felt like he knew them, but also like he didn't. Yet, deep down he had a strange feeling that made it easy for him to recognize them.
One is a bad guy, and the other is a jerk.
But he didn't have time to pay attention to that. Seeing that no one was around, and everything was pure white with a smell he didn't like, he sniffed pitifully, "Why is nobody here with me... That's so mean..."
What's worse is that he's still lying on this hard bed, with needles or something stuck in his hand, and liquid is constantly being injected into his body. He can't move freely, and if he does, he feels the hard bed pressing against him.
He was upset; his delicate brows furrowed, his face was pale, and he muttered to himself, "Where is my precious big soft bed...? Was it stolen...?"
Otherwise, why would someone leave it here?
That's too much.
He was very resentful, but dared not make a move, because the needle in his hand would prick him painfully. He could only lie on the bed, feeling wronged, only able to move his head, and called out, "Mommy—"
No one responded. The ward was quiet. The only sound was the curtains swaying gently in the breeze from the window. Otherwise, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
As if affected by the quiet environment, he blinked innocently for a moment, and then gradually calmed down. Only then did he realize that he could hardly remember what his parents looked like.
My impressions are hazy and indistinct; the memories in my mind are fragmented and incomplete. I remember some things while forgetting others.
He couldn't figure out what was going on. He had just woken up from a nap, so how did things turn out like this? It was just that the nap had been a bit long.
My head felt heavy and painful, and I was drowsy for a long time. I heard someone calling out "Shen Jin" over and over again.
This puzzled him; he didn't know who Shen Jin was. Yet, the voice was familiar to him, sometimes very close, sometimes very far away, as if he could never catch up with it.
As the voice faded into the distance and the figure grew increasingly blurry, he grew anxious, fearing the person would simply disappear. He desperately tried to chase after him, calling out, "Don't go! Don't go! Don't leave me!"
But the person didn't stop for him. He could only keep chasing, but he ran too fast and tripped, falling hard to the ground, covered in bruises. When he looked up again, the person he wanted to chase and try to catch had suddenly vanished without a trace...
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if something was missing.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
He glanced at the door of the ward and called out, "Is anyone else here? Come on over."
Bai Yujin was downstairs buying something at that moment, so the corridor was quiet and no one responded to him.
As for Yan Yu and Xie Li, who had just left, they had already arrived at the parking lot and driven away from the hospital.
Chen Jin, who had been unconscious for several days and had just woken up, was left lying on the bed like a wronged giant baby, with a worried face and a lot of depression.
"I want to go home..." he whispered, and he could hardly hear himself saying anything, as if there was something wrong with his hearing.
One of his hands was hooked up to an IV drip, while the other rested on the bed, barely usable. He reached up and touched his ear, feeling something blocking it. He gently patted it a few times, saying in a soothing tone, "Hurry up, hurry up, get better soon..."
But it didn't have much effect; it was still buzzing, and he couldn't hear the sounds from the outside world very clearly. He couldn't even hear his own voice if he turned it down a little.
After belatedly realizing what had happened, his face turned deathly pale, and he blinked his pure, innocent eyes in a daze.
Immediately afterwards, he touched his head, which had been shaved and stitched up. A sharp pain startled him, and he dared not touch it too hard. He could only slowly feel around to get a general idea of what it was like before bursting into tears.
He burst into tears, sobbing and crying loudly, "Waaaaah! What happened?! My head! Mommy! Jin'er's head is broken, waaaaah!"
The loud wailing startled the nurses outside in the corridor. They glanced at the VIP ward with some annoyance and asked, "Are there any children in this ward?"
She didn't recognize the child, but hearing the wailing, she didn't know whose child it was, so she rushed over. As she approached the door, she didn't forget to coax the baby, "Don't cry, baby, your mommy is coming soon!"
Hearing some noises outside the door, Shen Jin, who was wailing loudly, was instantly overjoyed. Wiping away his tears, he cried out, "Waaaaah, I'm so scared! Why is no one here with me! Bad people, waaaaah!"
"Almost there, almost there, baby, don't cry!" The nurse, a young woman, softened at the sound of the child's pitiful voice. "Your mommy will be here soon, you..."
The moment she hurriedly opened the door—
I saw a young man, over twenty years old, with delicate and good-looking features, crying his heart out on the bed with tears streaming down his face.
Nurse:"……"
The nurse's kind and gentle smile froze instantly. She blinked blankly at the "baby" on the bed, momentarily questioning her life choices.
He wiped away his tears, his eyes red, and looked at her with a pitiful expression: "Waaah, come help me! My head hurts so much!"
The nurse's lips twitched, and she froze in place, staring blankly at him, stammering, "This...this...you...how...how..."
He seemed about to burst into tears, shouting, "I'm in pain! I'm suffering! I'm wronged! I just want to cry, waaaaah!"
"Calm down! Don't cry! I'll call your family right away!" The nurse, not knowing what was going on, quickly stepped back to check the room number and then remembered that it was Mr. Bai's room number.
She hurriedly dialed Bai Yujin's number, but before Bai Yujin could hear what she had to say, she heard a sobbing voice coming from the receiver: "Waaaaah! I'm so wronged, waaaah!"
Bai Yujin: "..."
He stood there dumbfounded for a long while, barely managing to come to his senses, and quickly said, "This, this is... what, what happened?"
The nurse said urgently, "The patient has woken up! But this is what happened after waking up! I've already notified the attending physician, they'll come over immediately to check what's wrong. You...you should come back quickly too, the situation isn't good..."
When Bai Yujin heard that the situation was not good, his heart sank. He didn't dare to be negligent at all. After hanging up the phone, he quickly ran upstairs.
After hanging up the phone, the nurse looked at the person who looked like he was crying his eyes out with a bit of trepidation. She found that he was extremely handsome, but his "waaaaaah" crying was really ruining his image.
Seeing her standing aside and looking him over, Chen Jin became even more frustrated. He blinked his tearful eyes and choked out, "Why are you just watching and not helping me?"
"Huh?" The nurse was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly. "I don't know what your situation is."
Shen Jin felt wronged again. Fortunately, a moment later, a person dressed in white rushed over from outside and quickly came to his side, anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Don't cry. How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Although Bai Yujin had heard from the doctor that because of the severe head injury, he might suffer some aftereffects after regaining consciousness, and whether he could remain conscious for a short period of time was also a question.
But when he saw Shen Jin lying on the bed, crying like a big child, he was startled and even a little lost, not knowing how to comfort this big child, Shen Jin.
When Shen Jin saw a handsome older brother approaching and asking her a question, she quickly grabbed him and said, "My ears are ringing, I can't hear clearly, and my head hurts, waah..."
"Okay, okay, I know. Just lie down and behave." Bai Yujin quickly pulled out a tissue from the side to wipe his tears and comforted him for a while. "Be quiet for a bit. The doctor will come to examine you later. If you keep crying, your eyes will swell up, and it will get even worse!"
This approach was quite effective on Shen Jin at this moment. He sniffed, held back his tears, and obediently nodded, very compliantly: "Oh, then I won't cry anymore..."
Before long, the doctor rushed over. At first, Shen Jin was very reluctant to undergo the examination, but with his childlike nature, he was persuaded by Bai Yujin and reluctantly accepted the examination after a few words of coaxing.
At the same time, she didn't forget to look at Bai Yujin, staring at him intently, and repeated with some unease, "You said you'd buy me food later, you can't go back on your word."
Bai Yujin: "..."
As he waited anxiously, the test results finally came out. They said that because of the damage to his brain, his memories were becoming scattered and fragmented. Coupled with previous brain injuries, this was like adding insult to injury, causing him to temporarily enter a period of mental impairment. He only had memories from his childhood, and even those were not complete.
After all, his childhood memories are so many years away that he can't remember them anymore. He only retains some of his childhood temperament and personality traits, and everything else is a blank.
Recovery takes time. He may gradually recall every little detail from childhood to the present, but if he is subjected to any further trauma, the situation could worsen.
"Tinnitus also takes time to heal, but remember not to cause the patient any further harm or stimulation, otherwise they might lose their senses next time." The attending physician repeatedly reminded him with a calm face, "Don't try to use any extreme methods to help him recover, that will only make him more afraid and he will instinctively resist it, which will only have the opposite effect."
"It could also cause him to become withdrawn, since he had many fears deep down before the injury, leaving some unpleasant impressions," the doctor said. "In this case, the patient needs care, and providing him with a good living environment will help his recovery."
Before leaving, the doctor couldn't help but add, "Also, the community should not allow the patient to have too much contact with people who have caused him to have instinctive fears or resistance deep down, as that will only agitate him."
After the doctor left, Bai Yujin's mind was still buzzing, constantly echoing the words he had just spoken, and his expression was somewhat solemn.
Was Yan Yu the person that Shen Jin had feared and resisted deep in his heart?
Shen Jin sat on the hospital bed, unable to understand what they were saying. He could hear some of their words but not understand their meaning, while he couldn't hear the words at all. He could only blink blankly and tugged at Bai Yujin's sleeve: "What's wrong? I'm not crying anymore, but you're the one with the sour face now."
Bai Yujin had just come to her senses when she saw the childlike, innocent smile on his delicate face. Her feelings were complicated, and she asked softly, "Can you hear what I'm saying?"
“You said I can’t hear you if you speak too softly,” Shen Jin said with a smile, rubbing his ears. He told him very seriously, “I can hear you when you speak loudly. For example, I could hear my voice very clearly not long ago.”
Bai Yujin asked, "What was that sound?"
Shen Jin chuckled: "It was the sound of loud wailing, I could hear it very clearly!"
Bai Yujin: "..."
The more he looked at Chen Jin, who was laughing foolishly like a child, the more complicated his heart became. He couldn't understand how a perfectly healthy person could have suffered so many injuries in such a short time and become like this...
He has no memory of his childhood, only vague memories of his adulthood. To put it bluntly, he's mentally challenged. His memories are also confused, and he suffers from tinnitus and hearing loss...
Bai Yujin took a breath and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Is it... very painful?"
"Hmm?" Shen Jin blinked, momentarily confused by what he was saying, then chuckled, "It'll get better slowly, although my head hurts a bit right now."
Bai Yujin took a deep breath, reached out and ruffled Yan Yu's soft hair, but then, afraid of hurting the stitches, he withdrew his hand. He then went to the window and dialed Yan Yu's number.
He said succinctly, "Shen Jin has woken up."
He wanted to know if Yan Yu would be anxious to come and check on Shen Jin when he heard that he had woken up, without knowing what had happened to him, to see how he was doing, whether he had recovered, and whether he would be very worried.
Yan Yu had already brought Xie Li back to the villa and instructed the servants to prepare medicine for Xie Li. When she received his call, she was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "It's good that you're awake..."
Bai Yujin asked, "Aren't you going to come and take a look?"
Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xie Li sitting in the hanging chair, remained silent for a while, pursed his lips, took a breath, and instructed, "Take good care of him first... If there's nothing else, I'll go over later."
Bai Yujin smiled sarcastically and said lightly, "No need."
"What?" Yan Yu was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Bai Yujin didn't say it explicitly, but simply said, "Take good care of Young Master Xie."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Shen Jin, who was staring at him with those clear and innocent eyes. When the call connected, he had deliberately moved closer so that Shen Jin could hear it, wanting to test his reaction.
However, Shen Jin neither cried nor made a fuss. She just sat quietly on the bed, staring intently at his phone until the call ended and there was no sound. Suddenly, two lines of tears streamed down her face.
Shen Jin paused for a moment, sniffed, wiped away his tears, and muttered softly, "Hmm... How strange... I didn't want to cry, but the tears wouldn't listen to me. As soon as I heard that voice, they started flowing..."
He didn't feel anything, and he didn't even know who the person was, but his heart was aching so badly that he wanted to cry.
Bai Yujin helplessly picked up a tissue to wipe his face, feeling sorry for him but also thinking it wasn't worth it: "Why are you crying? Stop crying."
Shen Jin wiped his face haphazardly a few times, sniffed, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "It was just a sudden loss of control, it won't happen again..."
Bai Yujin asked patiently, "Do you still want to hear that voice? Or do you want to see him?"
Shen Jin was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "I don't want to think about it anymore..."
“Mommy used to say that you can think about happy things and laugh more, but you should just stay away from unhappy things…” Shen Jin said, then looked a little aggrieved and pursed her lips. “I miss my parents… but I don’t think I know what they look like anymore…”
Bai Yujin was taken aback and quickly asked, "Do you remember their names? Or do you have any other memories of them?"
Shen Jin opened his big eyes, laughed for a while, and then a name vaguely appeared in his mind. He grinned foolishly and said, "I remember Atlantis City... Mom and Dad said they would take me there to play!"
The words "Atlantis City" made Bai Yujin's smile freeze for a moment. He stared at his innocent smiling face for a while, as if trying to find some clue, before finally asking softly, "How... do you know about this place?"
Shen Jin didn't have much of a concept of this place, but since her mother said so, it must be a good place. She happily laughed and said, "Mommy said so! She said she'd take me there to play!"
"Is that so?" Bai Yujin forced a smile.
Perhaps Shen Jin didn't know what kind of place it was, but Bai Yujin did. It was a territory built in the capital city over twenty years ago, belonging to the three major families of the capital. Furthermore, "Atlan City" was not open to the public; ordinary people couldn't enter at all…
Seeing that he had been lost in thought for a while, Shen Jin tilted his head and asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yujin smiled and pinched his cheek: "It's nothing."
He felt it was possible that his mother had just said it casually to make him happy, since children are the easiest to please when they are young, and it's not a big deal if she just said something simple.
The next moment, Shen Jin smiled innocently, stared into his eyes, rubbed his face, took a breath, and asked earnestly, "I want to go back there, can you come with me?"
