Chapter 80 Memories are slowly returning
Three days after Mo Chuan left, Qin Xu also left.
"Are you really okay?"
"The scar has healed," Qin Xu put on his coat and touched Li Nuo's head, "I'm sorry, you need someone else again."
After he apologized, he became more natural in front of Li Nuo.
"Well, I'll wait here. Brother Mo said Li Yan will come here next week."
"Well, just be patient and wait for the next few days."
After Qin Xu left, Li Nuo was the only one left in the spacious villa. Although he was not really alone, the loneliness in his heart was inconsolable.
"Come to think of it, am I imprisoned?" Li Nuo, who was lying on the recliner in the greenhouse, looked up at the surveillance cameras everywhere and took a deep breath. "Forget it, just ignore it. Since Li Yan is involved, it should be safe."
I always feel that if I think too much, I will feel cold.
He took out his cell phone. Although the network function was not working, it was still useful for jotting down his thoughts.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t save it, because I don’t want others to see it.
"Zhang Wanhui, Li Yuzhi, Li Yan, and I... died."
Before, we didn’t know what the original owner did to cause his death, but now we have a clue, what he did to Li Yan.
And the thing that could make Qin Xu kill someone without mercy must have been done by the original owner of the same evil thing.
"...Do you really dislike Li Yan that much, original owner?"
But at this point in time, since the story has deviated significantly from the original novel, Li Nuo has no way of knowing for sure whether the original owner has taken any action.
Also, before he came here, Zhang Wanhui said he would take him to a place. Could that place be related to this matter?
Speaking of which, Li Nuo just realized that he seemed to have had no contact with Zhang Wanhui since he was discharged from the hospital.
No, this will completely stop the progress of the investigation. Li Nuo felt depressed.
He came out of the greenhouse and looked around. Having lived here for so long, he had run through all the areas surrounded by iron fences. Even though shielding devices were set up, there were still some places that were out of reach, especially the closer to the perimeter.
But then again, the place is so large that even if I hold up the phone and try slowly, it will take a long time, and I also have to be careful not to be seen, so I have to plan slowly.
Take your time.
Not far away, Aunt Zheng's voice came, calling for lunch. Li Nuo responded, deleted the records on his phone, and walked out of the greenhouse.
Perhaps it was because he was alone again, or maybe he had been thinking about the original story again during the day, but that night he started dreaming again.
And it seems to be connected to the previous dream, and the perspective has also changed to a third perspective.
It looked like they were in a hospital. The child who had fainted before was sitting obediently on a chair, and the old man was arguing loudly with the doctor with a stack of medical notes in his hand.
The doctor's face also turned red. He didn't want to argue with the old man, but he couldn't help being scolded. The veins on his neck were exposed.
The child seemed unable to bear the two people talking so loudly and covered his ears with his hands.
'Why are you quarreling like this in front of the children? Are you seriously ill?'
Not long after, the quarrel between the two stopped, the child put down his hands, and someone gently stroked his head. He raised his head, and saw a kind and gentle face in front of him, which was completely different from the one when he was arguing with the doctor just now. It was obvious that the face loved the child very much.
"Don't worry, my baby, I will make you better."
"......"The child didn't say anything.
"This hospital is no good, the doctors are all quacks, let's go somewhere else." The old man said angrily.
"Okay, Grandpa."
The child stood up, and the old man took his little hand and walked out slowly. Where the child couldn't see, the old man's eyes were filled with tears.
Then, the whole picture seemed to be at double speed.
The old man took the child to another hospital, but they would always quarrel. Then he would not give up and go directly to another province, but the result seemed to be the same.
During the quarrels, the old man's back became more and more bent, and so the child returned to the hospital where he went for the first time.
In the days that followed, I saw doctors and nurses frequently, and my grandfather came every day as well.
The middle-aged man holding the child and the middle-aged woman I had seen before also came over.
The man tried hard to smile every time, but he looked at the child with a very sad expression.
And so, time passed.
Until the child was about ten years old, one day, the middle-aged man was no longer seen, and the grandfather also aged a lot overnight.
The middle-aged woman also appeared, with red eyes.
The two walked out of the ward together and closed the door.
The child got out of bed and secretly put his ear to the door, trying to listen to the conversation outside.
Although it was a bit difficult, I could still hear them. It seemed that the two people were just outside the door and had not gone far.
"What should we do now? My brother died in a car accident, and my sister-in-law also died a long time ago. We are the only two relatives left for this child." The first voice that came was a woman's somewhat sad voice.
“…” The old man remained silent.
"How is the child's health lately?" the woman asked hesitantly, as if she was afraid to hear some bad news.
Grandpa sighed deeply, "I have some idea about whether I can find a match, but I am too young and too weak now. The doctor is afraid that I won't survive the operation."
Heart, um, Li Nuo thought, this child, no, is it that I have a problem with my heart? No wonder I was in the hospital before.
"So do we need a transplant?"
"It has to be done, but not now." Having said this, Grandpa coughed a few times.
The woman's worried voice came, "Dad, you should take care of yourself. I'll take care of Xiao Nuo from now on. I'm his aunt."
Aunt? So the middle-aged man before was his...father?
Although he was clearly in a dream, Li Nuo felt a pain in his heart. Uncontrollable sadness spread from his heart. The images of him and his father that flashed through his mind were all happy.
But the fact is, my father has passed away. He said he had a car accident on the way to the hospital to see me and died on the spot.
"Hmm..." He grabbed his heart hard, as if trying to suppress the sadness.
Time goes on.
The child grew up a little again.
One day, I saw my grandfather lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on.
His vision was a little blurry, and Li Nuo felt like he was crying.
The child lying on the side of the bed was making tiny whimpering sounds. He wanted to burst into tears but was afraid of disturbing the old man on the bed.
"Xiao Nuo... Xiao Nuo..." The old man whispered unclear words, calling his grandson's name.
But the alarm sounded by the instrument called the doctors and nurses, and someone took the child away from the ward. Since then, grandpa has never been seen again.
Then, there was the funeral.
The woman who called herself aunt hugged him and sobbed quietly.
Gradually, they were the only two people left at the scene.
Then, the memory was interrupted.
When Li Nuo woke up, he found that he was really crying. His tears wet a large area of the pillow. Knowing that there was no surveillance in the room, he covered his face and let the tears continue to flow.
The sadness in his heart could not be relieved, and the past could not be brought back, so he had to cry to ease his mood.
After crying, he got up from the bed and said, "No, Aunt Zheng will definitely be suspicious if she sees me tomorrow. I need to apply some mask to my eyes."
He applied a towel to his eyes and grabbed the collar of his shirt with his other hand.
This dream was truly heartbreaking.
Compared to the happy and joyful playtime memories before, this time was simply a nightmare. My life took a sharp turn for the worse, I had health problems, and my relatives passed away one after another.
Li Nuo tilted his head back, suppressing his sad emotions. He couldn't cry, or his eyes would get swollen.
He turned his thoughts to other things.
'My memories are slowly returning. Does this mean I will be returning to my original world?'
Especially this time, I remembered such an important thing.
"Is it because your heart is beating fast? Don't you want me to stay here?"
Li Nuo bit his lips suddenly. At this moment, he regretted that he had taken the initiative to kiss Mo Chuan before.
If the original owner came back, who knows what he would do to Mo Chuan? Would he use him?
He was a little anxious. If the original owner really came back, he hoped that all the memories of the past six months would disappear, and not leave behind the memory of those two people liking him and Li Yan treating him tenderly. Rather than being hurt, it would be better for everything to return to the starting point.
Facing the rising morning glow, he prayed like this.
...........
Perhaps because he will see his brother soon, Li Yan has been working very hard during this period. After all, it is better for everyone to finish early.
Perhaps knowing that they could not get any good results here, Director Wen's forces withdrew from the company, moved their positions, and prepared to make a comeback.
Thanks to this, Li Yan and Secretary Yang were able to get out of the secretary's room.
That day, when he was working, Secretary Yang came in with a strange look on his face, "Li Yan, um, there's someone outside looking for you. Uh, it's the father listed in your household registration."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment.
Secretary Yang looked at him and said, "If you don't want to see him, let the security guard take him away..."
"No, I'll go see him," Li Yan stood up, "and see what he wants to do."
"Okay then, I guessed you would say that. I have already taken the person to the reception room on the first floor." Secretary Yang patted his shoulder, as if to give him strength.
Went downstairs.
"How did you know I was here?"
He closed the door casually, his tone unchanged.
He had changed jobs before, but he would never tell this person.
The middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa casually saw him coming in and waved his hand casually, "Dad doesn't even know where his son works, how can this be justified?"
Li Yan didn't pay any attention to him, but thought, 'Did my brother tell him before, or... did someone from Director Wen tell him?'
"Then why did you come?"
"What else could it be? I can't contact Xiao Nuo. Where did he go?"
"His phone is broken." Li Yan remained calm.
"......This excuse is too lame. If his phone broke, he would have pestered you to buy a new one." Li Yuzhi knew his own son well.
"Forget it, I went to where you lived before, but I was told that you moved. You moved because you have money..." Li Yuzhi muttered to himself, then turned to Li Yan and asked, "Where is Xiao Nuo?"
"......"
Li Yan remained silent. Normally, Li Yuzhi came to see him for only one reason: money.
He was not surprised that the man in front of him was in contact with Zhang Wanhui, but it was strange that he was in contact with Director Wen's secretary. Was he trying to hurt him or to seduce his brother...
"He is resting well in a place. You know, my brother is in poor health and can easily catch a cold in winter. Tell me what you want to say and I will pass it on."
"Come on, tell me where Xiao Nuo is?"
"Why do you want to know this?"
Li Yuzhi looked at Li Yan with a puzzled look on his face. Indeed, Li Liyan's attitude was different from before, and it became more and more so as he got older. Especially after he took away a sum of money before, his disgust became apparent.
“Isn’t it weird that a dad asks where his kids are?”
“.......”
"You won't forget, I am his father, his only family, his real family. We have an unbreakable blood relationship."
If this topic had been brought up before, Li Yan would have turned pale and avoided the question, but what his brother had said in the hospital gave him confidence.
At that time, my brother said that he wanted to completely cut off all ties with my father.
Maybe now is a good time.
