"It seems you really don't remember anything." Dr. Ke sighed. "Come on, put your hand out so I can take your pulse. I'll also give you a referral for a brain scan tomorrow."
Cheng Ran placed his hand on the table, and Jiang Wanqing held her breath as she watched Dr. Ke take his pulse.
The examination room was very quiet; you could hear the needle dropping. The procedure took about five minutes.
"How is he?" she asked worriedly.
"He is otherwise in good health, but he has a blood clot in his brain, which may be related to a head injury he suffered."
Dr. Ke picked up a pen and scribbled something on the paper before looking up at Cheng Ran.
Do you remember where you were injured? How were you injured?
"I don't remember. My mind has been blank ever since I woke up."
"Okay, I understand. I'll press a few acupoints on you first to see if it can improve your blood circulation."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and stood behind Cheng Ran, pressing a few times seemingly lightly.
Even Jiang Wanqing, an outsider, couldn't see the pattern. She only saw Cheng Ran groan and a pained expression appear on his face.
"Dr. Ke..."
She had just opened her mouth when the doctor raised his hand, shook his head, and continued what he was doing.
"fine."
"ah……"
Not knowing where he was being pressed, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in Cheng Ran's mind.
Suddenly, a fragment of his memory appeared in his mind: he had rolled down a cliff!
Soon, Cheng Ran's forehead was covered in sweat, and Jiang Wanqing quickly stepped forward.
"Dr. Ke, he seems to be in a lot of pain, let's stop for now."
She also hoped that he would regain his memory as soon as possible, but seeing his pain, she couldn't bear it.
"Did anything come to mind?"
Dr. Ke returned to his desk and sat down, looking at Cheng Ran and asking.
"I...remember...falling off a cliff..."
The pain impaired his ability to speak, and he managed to utter a sentence in fits and starts. Jiang Wanqing was overjoyed to hear it.
"You really remember? What about me? Do you remember who I am?"
She excitedly pointed to herself, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from him.
But he covered his head and shook it.
"I can't think of anything else, sorry."
He was now certain that neither Jiang Wanqing, Hong Xing, nor the doctor had lied to him, so his attitude and tone were much better than before.
"It's okay, take it slow. We're already seeing initial results. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take home, and we'll do a more detailed check-up tomorrow."
"good."
"By the way, Comrade Wanqing, you can tell him some things from the past to stimulate his mind and help him recover, but you have to be careful not to overdo it," Dr. Ke suggested.
"I understand, thank you, Dr. Ke."
Jiang Wanqing thanked him, then looked up at Cheng Ran, about to tell him about their relationship.
He seemed to have caught her intention; his eyes flickered, and he spoke up to stop her.
"It's too late today, I need to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
He's not ready to passively accept the past yet; he needs some time.
She took a deep breath, indicating her understanding, and nodded.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll have Hung Hing pick you up for the checkup."
"Um."
The two left the consultation room together, and the father and daughter, who had been waiting anxiously outside, rushed forward.
"How are you, Aye? What did the doctor say? Do you remember anything?" his father asked him.
"I have a bit of a headache and need to go back and rest."
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
The father and daughter quickly left with A-Ye, glancing deeply at the clinic without even saying thank you.
Hong Xing tried to stop them, but Jiang Wanqing shook her head at her.
Don't go.
"Sister-in-law, but... how is Brother Cheng? Does he really not remember anything at all?"
"It's not that he didn't remember at all; he remembered that he fell off the cliff."
"Huh?" Hong Xing's eyes lit up: "This can be considered an initial effect, which is a good thing. But sister-in-law, you don't look too well..."
"I plan to tell him about the past tomorrow. Dr. Ke will be performing a brain examination on him tomorrow, so please pick him up early."
"Okay, don't worry! Leave this to me!"
If Jiang Wanqing hadn't told him to go back and rest, Hong Xing would have really wanted to squat outside Cheng Ran's room all day and take him to the hospital as soon as it was light tomorrow!
That night, no one slept very well. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on A-mei's door.
Startled, she yelled outside, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Father. Open the door, I need something."
He deliberately lowered his voice, and soon his sister put on a coat, opened the door, and let him in.
"Father, why aren't you resting in your room so late? What do you need me for?"
He furtively closed the door, pressed down on A-mei's hand as she tried to turn on the light, and made a shushing gesture.
"I'll just say a few words to you and then leave, so as not to disturb anyone else."
"Father, what...what do you want to say?"
"Listen to me, I think Comrade Jiang and Comrade Hong will definitely try to take Aye away from us. Are you willing to do that?"
"Of course I don't want to!" she said without hesitation.
“That’s right. As long as he doesn’t regain his memory, he’s still our family. Father can see that you like him. Tomorrow… tomorrow we’ll go back and get things done for you two. Once it’s a done deal, even if he regains his memory, we’ll still be family.”
"But... what if Brother Ye has a family? Is this the right thing to do? Besides, he won't let me touch him. And he's going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. How are we going to take him with us?"
Amei's heart was filled with trepidation and unease, as well as a little excitement. She was certain that she liked Aye, so she both hoped that he would regain his memory and was afraid of him regaining his memory, which made her extremely conflicted.
"Leave it to me. Don't sleep too soundly tomorrow night. Father will take you away."
"good."
The next day, Hung Hing picked up Cheng Ran early in the morning. Unlike before, Ah Mei and her father were very cooperative and not as tense and serious as before.
While sitting in the car, he kept thanking them, and Hung Hing had him completely charmed.
"Comrade Hong, you are so talented at such a young age. You will definitely achieve great things in the future. We were narrow-minded before, but now we understand. Aye will be cured sooner or later. We are so grateful to you all these days."
“Old comrade, you’re being too polite. Once A-Ye regains his memory, you’ll understand that we did all this for our loved ones.”
"Oh? So, according to you, before A-Ye lost his memory, he had a relationship with you and Comrade Jiang?"
"Of course, we have quite a close relationship."
Sitting in the passenger seat, A-Ye listened to their conversation, his expression subtly changing. Yesterday, he thought about the fall off the cliff, and he wondered if he would think about it more today. What exactly was his relationship with Jiang Wanqing?
The car stopped at the hospital. Ah Ye was a little distracted, and Hung Hing patted his arm.
"We've arrived. Let's go get checked."
"good."
