Chapter 44 The Scar on the Head
When Luo Tingwei woke up, she was lying on the bed in the basement again, but this time, there were two maids watching over her.
Seeing that she was awake, the maid hurriedly asked, "Would you like some water?" Her voice was full of sympathy.
Luo Tingwei trembled involuntarily as she recalled the terrible nightmares that had just occurred.
Seeing her like this, the maid shook her head helplessly.
"Let's get the doctor here."
When the doctor arrived and examined her, he discovered a deep scar on her head, which appeared to be an old injury.
"Miss Luo, how are you feeling?"
The doctor knew it was caused by excessive fright.
"I'm very scared."
"Take a deep breath," the doctor tried to reassure her.
"I don't want to stay here, it's too oppressive." Luo Tingwei felt a chill as soon as she saw the dim surroundings.
"Okay, I'll tell President Li about your situation."
After saying that, the doctor left.
In the study.
The tall man stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
"How is she?"
"In response to Young Master Li, Miss Luo was frightened, so she was in a daze. She just woke up and her mental state is still not good. I prescribed some calming medicine for her."
After the doctor finished speaking, he paused, looking as if he didn't know whether he should speak or not.
Li Yanzhou noticed his unusual behavior and frowned. "Speak your mind."
“Young Master Li, when I examined her just now, I found that she had a head injury.”
"hurt?"
"Yes, it looks like an old injury from adulthood. If I'm not mistaken, it's a rather serious impact injury, and the scar is in a relatively hidden place. Normally, even if an ordinary person is frightened, their reaction wouldn't be that strong. I wonder if Miss Luo's fainting due to fright is related to her head injury."
"How long has this injury been there?"
"I estimate it's been four or five years."
Four or five years?
Li Yanzhou's eyes flickered slightly.
Luo Tingwei never told him what injuries she had suffered.
Of course, he never asked.
Judging from the doctor's tone, the injury seems to be quite serious.
Luo Tingwei, Luo Tingwei, what exactly happened during the years you disappeared?
Li Yanzhou was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice,
How long will it take her to recover?
The doctor wasn't sure either, saying, "I can't guarantee that."
"But it's best if Miss Luo doesn't get any more stimulation, Mr. Li. You need to talk to her slowly."
The doctor had already put it very tactfully: "Taking medication is one thing, but the key is to keep her in a calm state of mind."
"I understand, you may leave."
Li Yanzhou stared at the sparrows perched outside the window for a few seconds, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After saying goodbye to her for the last time five years ago, she disappeared without a trace, as if she had vanished into thin air.
A month after her true identity was revealed, she was still missing.
For the next two years, he heard nothing from her. He even wondered if she had played a trick on him, and if it was all just a joke she was playing.
She hooked him, then disappeared.
That scumbag woman.
He didn't hear from her again until three years ago.
Rumors are circulating in the industry that Luo Shengtian's daughter will attend the international arms conference in Switzerland in her father's place.
It's her.
She's back.
In an instant, he was both surprised and delighted, and even forgot his previous dark suspicions about her.
He didn't care about anything else; his only wish was to see her and find out where she had been all these years.
However, when he reappeared in front of her, she looked at him as if he were a stranger, her eyes filled with indifference and disdain.
He could tell that she wasn't faking it; she genuinely didn't remember him.
So, for the past two years, has it all been a one-man show for him?
He searched for her for two years, missed her for two years, and kept her in his heart for two years, but in the end, all he got in return was a cold and distant look from her.
This woman really tricked him!
She glanced at him, her red lips slightly curved, a faint sneer on her face, "Talking about romance? You think you're worthy?"
He doesn't deserve it?
If he doesn't deserve it, then nobody in the world deserves it!
From that moment on, the thought of crushing and destroying her with his own hands sprouted from the bottom of his heart.
Just like her father used to wantonly abuse his mother.
Why didn't he do that?
The daughter is responsible for paying the father's debts.
Add to what she did to him, and that's double.
...
Li Yanzhou emerged from his memories of the past and became even more curious about what had happened five years ago.
Since she wouldn't bring it up herself, he would ask her directly.
The basement door suddenly opened, letting in a beam of natural light.
Luo Tingwei fell asleep with the help of the maid's comfort and medication.
Li Yanzhou glanced at the sleeping woman on the bed, waved his hand, and dismissed the maid who was standing by.
Then, he walked over and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
Her face looked even paler and thinner, her jaw was clenched, and she was curled up in a small ball on the bed.
He unconsciously reached out and took her hand.
It's so cold.
It was as cold as when he pulled her out of the sea that day.
A pang of pity swept through his heart.
“What happened to you? You shouldn’t be like that. Five years ago you were so... you were so…”
He couldn't bring himself to say what came next.
He was afraid that if she heard him, he would realize that he was just imagining things.
About half an hour later, Luo Tingwei woke up.
The doctor had told him that the injected medication would temporarily numb her senses, so she wouldn't show too much fear or panic when she saw him.
When Luo Tingwei opened her eyes and saw him, she remained relatively calm, but silently turned her head away.
Li Yanzhou tried to make his tone sound gentle and got straight to the point, "What happened to the injury on your head?"
She paused for two seconds before speaking, "What injury?"
"The doctor said you have a scar on the back of your head. Have you had any accidents before?"
"Oh, that one."
After realizing what he was saying, Luo Tingwei said casually, "I tripped and fell while I was walking earlier, is that strange?"
"nothing."
Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, Li Yanzhou knew he wouldn't get anything out of her, so he simply told her, "You should rest well, and we'll talk about everything after you've fully recovered."
After saying that, he left.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Luo Tingwei's brows furrowed.
Why did he suddenly ask that?
Her car accident was a secret. Luo Shengtian kept the news from the outside world and never let her tell anyone. He only vaguely hinted that it was the work of an enemy.
His enemies wanted to intimidate him and force him to submit by targeting Luo Tingwei.
After that car accident, Luo Shengtian kept her "hidden and protected" for a long time. No one knew where she was. She seemed to have vanished into thin air, only keeping in touch with a few friends.
Since Luo Shengtian wants her to keep quiet, she will definitely not say anything.

New York, USA.
Cen An'an was kidnapped one afternoon.
In broad daylight, in a not-so-secluded street, several men in black forcibly took her into a car.
The car drove through the highway and headed towards the affluent area in the northeast.
In a luxurious villa, Cen An'an met Li Yanzhou for the first time.
