The closer they got to the examination room, the more nervous Amei became. If Aye regained his memory today, he definitely wouldn't stay by their side.
Noticing her emotions, her father patted her on the shoulder.
"It's okay, don't worry. Experts aren't miracle workers. Stay calm."
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing was already waiting outside the examination room, chatting with Dr. Ke. When she saw them arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave Hong Xing an inquiring look, to which he nodded.
"all the best."
"That's good."
She reached out and tugged at A-Ye's arm. He only frowned slightly, but did not resist.
"Go in and cooperate with Dr. Ke. He will give you a thorough examination and treatment."
He didn't respond. Guided by Dr. Ke, he walked into the examination room. The moment the door closed, everyone outside was caught in different emotions.
Amei clenched her hands tightly, looked at Jiang Wanqing, and walked forward as if possessed.
"Sister Wanqing, can I ask you a question?"
"Oh? Sure, go ahead and ask." Jiang Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then agreed in a kind manner.
"What was your relationship with Brother Ye... before he lost his memory?"
"Sister!"
Her father pulled her back, glared at her, and said that some questions were best left unanswered; once she answered, the torment in her heart would only double. He shook his head at his daughter and told her not to ask.
Jiang Wanqing glanced at the father and daughter, then smirked, her tone calm and certain.
“Apart from his parents, there is no one else in the world who is closer to us than the two of us.”
She received an answer she expected but didn't want to hear. A-mei's eyes instantly reddened, the air fell silent, and she stopped speaking.
In the examination room, A-Ye followed Dr. Ke's instructions step by step, undergoing the examinations. All he could hear was the beeping of the machines and the doctor's occasional reminders, such as telling him to close or open his eyes.
After nearly half an hour of this ordeal, he was finally allowed to get off the examination bed.
"What were the test results? Is there any chance my memory will recover? Are there any other problems?"
He asked three questions in a row. Dr. Ke frowned, looked at the medical record, and sighed.
"It's definitely a blood clot in your brain that's causing your temporary amnesia. You can recover, but I'm not sure how long it will take. Everything else is fine, but there's one thing... you need to pay attention to your mental health during this period of amnesia. You were very averse to me when I touched you just now, weren't you?"
“It’s not just you, I’m disgusted by anyone’s touch.”
"No, except for Comrade Wanqing, I saw her." Dr. Ke smiled and said, "That makes sense. If you dislike her, you two can't become husband and wife, let alone have children. This is called physiological attraction."
Dr. Ke's casual remark made A-Ye's eyes widen, and he gripped the thin sheet on the examination bed tightly with both hands.
"What did you say? Me and her..."
"Oh, you didn't know? You two are legally married. After you disappeared and lost your memory, she gave birth to the child and raised the child alone. Fortunately, God took pity on you and you're alright. She was waiting for you here early this morning. Comrade Wanqing is a rare and wonderful woman. She's capable in both social and domestic settings, and her love for you is beyond question. Comrade Cheng Ran, allow me to say one more thing: spending more time with her will also be beneficial for your memory recovery."
Dr. Ke said more than one more thing, but since it was the first time Ah Ye had heard someone ramble on like this since he lost his memory, he actually listened and nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
"That's good. Go out now. I'll prescribe some medicine for you and give you a few acupuncture treatments. Let's see how it goes today."
"good."
If he had only accepted the treatment with a try-it-out attitude before, he now desperately wanted to recover his memories as quickly as possible.
As soon as the examination room door opened, several people rushed in, and Jiang Wanqing's eyes were filled with expectation.
"How about it?"
"Did you remember anything else?" Father asked impatiently.
"No." Aye shook his head: "I'll go to the doctor for acupuncture first."
Before he left with Dr. Ke, his attention was entirely focused on Jiang Wanqing.
Father thought to himself that something was wrong and nudged his sister's arm.
"You go with your brother, I'll go pick him up and buy you two bottles of water."
"OK."
No one thought his act of buying water was inappropriate; the wait was indeed a bit long, and it's understandable that the person was thirsty.
From the examination room to the consultation room, Jiang Wanqing was allowed to go in together this time. Amei also wanted to follow her in, but Hongxing stopped her.
"Don't interfere with Dr. Ke's treatment."
"Then Sister Wanqing..."
"She knows everything about A-Ye before he lost his memory, which is helpful for the treatment."
These words froze A-mei in place, unable to move, and she felt a heavy weight in her heart.
Jiang Wanqing roughly knew what Dr. Ke must have said to A-Ye, which caused him to look at her a little differently.
When the first needle went in, he groaned and asked a question.
"Is our child a son or a daughter? Is he/she alright?"
Her eyes flickered, and Dr. Ke nodded to her, indicating that they could communicate appropriately, at which point she responded.
"It's a daughter, very cute, she looks just like you."
What's her name?
Her nickname is Nannan, and her formal name is Cheng Yao.
"So... my real name is Cheng Ran?"
Yes, it's the real deal.
During the communication, both parties were very calm. Aye seemed to have accepted their relationship and even began to look forward to going back to see his daughter.
As the needle was inserted again, he suddenly grabbed his thigh, sweating profusely from the pain. Jiang Wanqing almost instinctively went over and grabbed his hand.
Does it hurt a lot?
“It doesn’t hurt…” he gritted his teeth.
Dr. Ke remained focused and continued to perform acupuncture treatment on him, while reminding him of the necessary instructions.
"Now you can try to use your brain to see if you can recall more things, the more the better. You might have a headache, but that's normal, don't be afraid."
"good."
His voice was hoarse, but he endured the pain and began to recall what they had told him to do.
The face of the pregnant woman who had appeared in my dream slowly became clear; it was Jiang Wanqing.
They were in a house, and he squatted down in front of her, his ear close to her stomach.
"The baby moved! I heard it!" He was as excited as a child.
Jiang Wanqing stroked his head: "Then listen to this more. When you go on a mission, we won't be able to see each other for a long time. You must remember how you feel right now, and you must... come back safely."
Beep...
A sudden electrical sound came from his head. He wanted to remember more, but his head was throbbing. He opened his eyes abruptly and slapped his head with his hand, but Dr. Ke quickly stopped him.
"Don't cause further injury to the head. Did you think of something?"
"Hmm..." His eyes were filled with complex emotions as he slowly squeezed Jiang Wanqing's hand back: "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, I'm just glad you're alright. You'll remember eventually."
