Chapter 254 Amnesia
They were perfectly fine this afternoon; Sister Fang even said she was taking them to film a promotional video. How did they end up in a car accident that night?
Lu Chen grabbed his coat and rushed out, but he couldn't hear his manager calling after him.
When Lu Chen arrived at the hospital, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the emergency room. He squeezed into the crowd and saw Huo Qibang and Huo Meiling.
"Where's Sister Fang?" Lu Chen's voice trembled. "How is she?"
Huo Qibang looked up, saw Lu Chen, and said nothing.
Lu Chen's heart sank, and tears welled up instantly: "She'll be alright, right? She's so strong, she'll be alright..."
"Shut up," Huo Qibang said coldly. "What are you crying for? Your mother isn't dead yet."
Lu Chen was startled and quickly wiped away his tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears he shed.
Lingye was the last to arrive.
He drove directly from the training ground, still wearing his training clothes and covered in sweat.
"Where is Madam?" Ling Ye rushed to the door of the emergency room, staring at the tightly closed door, and slammed his fist against the wall: "What happened? How could she have been in a car accident when she was perfectly fine?"
"The investigation is still ongoing," Huo Wen said. "But judging from the situation at the scene, the truck acted intentionally."
"It was intentional!" Ling Ye turned his head, his eyes filled with anger. "Have you found out who it was?"
"The investigation is still ongoing."
Ling Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
But his hands were still trembling.
In the afternoon, he was still arguing with his wife, and he even made her angry because of that effeminate man.
If he had known this would happen, he would have been fine and wouldn't have upset his wife.
The lights in the emergency room finally went out.
Everyone stood up, and the doctor came out and took off his mask.
"The patient is out of danger for now," the doctor said. "However, due to the head injury, there may be temporary memory confusion, and he will need to rest well."
Huo Qibang breathed a sigh of relief, almost losing his balance.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you," Huo Meiling said, her eyes red.
When Fang Lanxin was wheeled out, she was pale, her head was wrapped in gauze, and her arm was in a cast.
Seeing her like this, Lu Chen's tears fell again.
Ling Ye stood to the side, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Fang Lanxin was wheeled into the ward, and the doctor gave her some instructions before leaving.
The ward was quiet, with only the beeping of the medical equipment.
Huo Qibang sat on the edge of the bed, holding Fang Lanxin's hand, unable to say a word.
"Qibang, you should go back and rest first," Huo Meiling said. "I'll keep watch here."
“I’m not leaving.” Huo Qibang shook his head. “I want to wait for my mother to wake up.”
Huo Meiling knew she couldn't persuade him, so she stopped talking.
Ling Ye and Lu Chen refused to leave and stayed outside the ward.
Neither of them spoke, but all the unpleasantness from before no longer mattered.
It was late at night, and the hospital was very quiet.
Fang Lanxin's fingers twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom!" Kenneth Fok immediately stood up: "You're awake. Is anything bothering you?"
Fang Lanxin looked at him, her eyes somewhat confused.
"You are..." her voice was weak, "Who are you?"
Kenneth Fok was stunned.
“Mom, it’s me, Qibang.” He said, “Don’t you recognize me?”
Fang Lanxin frowned, trying hard to recall, but her mind was blank.
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember,” she said.
Huo Qibang's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Doctor! Call the doctor quickly!" Huo Meiling rushed out of the ward.
Soon, the doctor arrived and gave Fang Lanxin a thorough examination.
"The patient suffered a head injury, resulting in temporary amnesia," the doctor said. "This is not uncommon; it may recover after some time, or..."
"Maybe what?" Fok Kai-pong pressed.
"She may never remember," the doctor said. "But don't put too much pressure on the patient; let her recover slowly."
After the doctor left, the ward fell silent.
Fang Lanxin looked at the people in front of her. Their eyes were full of worry and heartache, but she didn't recognize any of them.
"I'm sorry," Fang Lanxin said, "I really can't remember."
"It's alright, Mother." Huo Meiling wiped away her tears. "Take your time, there's no rush."
Fang Lanxin repeated the term "Ama" because it sounded familiar, but she just couldn't quite place it.
She looked at Kenneth Fok: "You are my son."
Kenneth Fok nodded, his eyes red-rimmed.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember you," Fang Lanxin said.
These words were like a knife, stabbing Fok Kai-pong hard in the heart.
He turned and walked out of the ward, leaned against the wall, and finally tears fell.
When Ling Ye and Lu Chen heard that Fang Lanxin had woken up, they immediately rushed into the ward.
"Madam!" Ling Ye walked to the bedside and looked at Fang Lanxin: "Are you alright?"
Fang Lanxin looked at him and shook her head: "I'm sorry, you are..."
Ling Ye's smile froze on his face.
“Madam, it’s me, Ling Ye,” he said. “Don’t you remember me?”
Fang Lanxin tried hard to recall, but her mind remained blank.
"I'm sorry," she could only repeat.
Lu Chen stood aside, looking at Fang Lanxin's unfamiliar gaze, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Sister Fang..." he called softly.
Fang Lanxin turned her head and looked at the handsome boy, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
“You are…” she asked.
"I am Lu Chen," Lu Chen said. "Don't you remember me?"
Fang Lanxin shook her head.
Lu Chen's tears fell, and he turned and ran out of the ward.
Ling Ye looked at Fang Lanxin, his fists clenched tightly.
“Madam, you will remember,” he said. “You will.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Only Huo Meiling and Fang Lanxin remained in the ward.
"I'm sorry," Fang Lanxin said again, "I made you worry."
"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Meiling held her hand: "You should rest well and don't worry about anything else."
Fang Lanxin nodded and closed her eyes.
But she couldn't sleep.
My mind is a jumbled mess, with many images flashing through my mind, but I can't quite grasp any of them.
She tried hard to remember, but the harder she tried, the more her head ached.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Fang Lanxin gave up; it wasn't anything important anyway.
Outside the ward, Kenneth Fok leaned against the wall, completely devastated.
Ling Ye walked over and stood next to him.
“Your mother will be alright,” Ling Ye said.
“She doesn’t remember me.” Fok Kai-pong’s voice was low: “The way she looks at me is like she’s looking at a stranger.”
Ling Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Then let her get to know you again."
Huo Qibang looked up at him.
“Anyway, you’re not a kid anymore,” Ling Ye said. “Go after your mother again and make her fall in love with you, her son, all over again.”
Kenneth Fok paused for a moment, then laughed.
“You’re right,” he said. “I want to make my mother like me again.”
Lu Chen was hiding in the stairwell crying, and it took his manager a long time to find him.
