She tried hard to digest this sudden "surprise", but found that her mind was still a mess.
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Xiaoru asked weakly, her voice almost inaudible. She tried hard to stand up, but found that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hands.
The woman quickly held her down: "Don't move! You just woke up, be careful!"
The man added anxiously: "Yes, yes, lie down and don't move, I'll go call the doctor!" As he said that, he rushed out of the ward like a gust of wind.
The woman held Chen Xiaoru's hand and looked at her with tears in her eyes. She felt heartache, excitement, and worry. All kinds of emotions intertwined together, making her speechless for a moment.
"Xiao Ru, you were in a car accident and have been... in a coma for three years. The doctors said you would become a vegetable and would never wake up." The woman choked and finally finished her words, as if every word was filled with endless bitterness and pain.
"Car accident? Vegetative state? Three years?!" Chen Xiaoru's eyes widened, feeling like her CPU was about to burn out. What the hell was going on? Had she transmigrated into some clichéd, eight-o'clock drama? And an upgraded version?!
She subconsciously wanted to refute, wanting to say that she was perfectly fine, how could she have been in a car accident and become a vegetable. But when the words came to her lips, they turned into: "Why do I... have no memory of it at all?"
Her mind was blank, like a formatted hard drive, unable to remember anything. This felt so strange, as if... someone had stolen three years of her life!
Chen Xiaoru looked at the woman in front of her, her heart aching. Although her memory was blank, the care and love this woman showed for her was real, and the blood-thicker-than-water kinship was irresistible to her.
"Mom... don't cry..." Chen Xiaoru subconsciously comforted her. Although she didn't remember, she knew that the woman in front of her must be her closest person.
"Wait, three years? How old am I now?" Chen Xiaoru suddenly realized a serious problem. If she really had been in a coma for three years, wouldn't she be... three years older?!
The woman wiped her tears and said with all her might, "You're... twenty-five this year."
"Twenty-five?!" Chen Xiaoru almost jumped out of bed. Twenty-five, doesn't that mean... all my youth has been wasted!
Chen Xiaoru slapped her head hard, trying to clear the confusion in her mind, but her head only hurt more and she couldn't remember anything. She even began to wonder if she had been captured by aliens for experiments and her three years of memory had been erased.
"Ouch! My ancestor! What are you doing!" Mother Chen was so frightened that she rushed over and held her hand. "Xiao Ru, don't do this! Don't do this! Don't scare Mom!"
Chen Xiaoru looked at the woman in front of her, her tears streaming down her face, and thought: With such acting skills, it would be a shame if she didn't win an Oscar! But, those tears were too real. Could she really be her daughter? But these three years... three blank years! She felt like she had missed out on a hundred million!
"Mom, I'm fine, I just have a headache..." Chen Xiaoru said weakly, her voice as small as a mosquito's hum.
