Chapter 210 Reacquaintance
Although Director Chen's case was over, they did not stop investigating the Neuro-Rose.
The next day, Fang Rui received a call from Xiao Zhang's mother: "Xiao Fang, Xiao Zhang is in much better condition today, and he can speak."
Xiao Zhang's condition had improved in the past two days. He gradually had his own breathing and had been discharged from the ICU. The doctor said that he would most likely recover.
Xiao Zhang's parents were afraid of disturbing Fang Rui's work, and they were even more afraid that they would be happy for nothing, so they did not tell them until Xiao Zhang was able to sit up today, and they notified Fang Rui.
"By the way, Xiao Fang, do you know where Chen Xue is? I can't get through to her phone number. If you can get in touch with her, please tell her."
Fang Rui was happy for Xiao Zhang's recovery, but also sad for Chen Xue's death. He choked and said, "Auntie, is Chen Xue coming?"
"Why? Is she sick? Then she should have a good rest. Anyway, she can come anytime."
"Yeah."
Fang Rui didn't tell her the truth.
When the colleagues in the police station heard that Xiao Zhang had woken up, after work, everyone went to buy flowers and fruit baskets. The fruit basket was the largest one in the store, and the flowers were the largest and most beautiful one. They went to the hospital to see Xiao Zhang together.
Mu Mian's eyes were swollen from crying. She said to Fang Rui, "If Officer Xiao Zhang knew that Chen Xue was dead, he would definitely be very sad."
"Let's not tell him yet."
"Then he will definitely know in the future."
Everyone finally decided to hide the news of Chen Xue's death.
Xiao Zhang has now been moved to the intensive care unit. When they entered the ward, Xiao Zhang was sitting in a daze.
Seeing so many people coming in, he looked at everyone, then looked away and continued to be in a daze.
Everyone's heart was suspended in an instant. Could it be that Xiao Zhang has become a fool? But everyone was soon relieved. At least Xiao Zhang was still alive.
When Xiao Zhang's parents saw them come in, they hurried to entertain them.
"Officer Xiao Zhang, this is my gift to you." Mu Mian put the beautifully wrapped gift on the cabinet beside his bed.
Xiao Zhang looked at the gift and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who is Officer Xiao Zhang?"
Mu Mian said: "It's you."
"Is my name Officer Xiao Zhang?"
"Don't you remember your name?"
"No, my mind is blank."
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhang's parents.
Xiao Zhang's mother showed a helpless expression, and she told everyone that Xiao Zhang had lost his memory.
After Xiao Zhang woke up, the doctor tested Xiao Zhang, and soon they came to the conclusion: "This patient should have retrograde amnesia, he forgot the past. His temporal lobe is damaged. The temporal lobe is a brain area related to memory, and it may cause amnesia after injury."
Retrograde amnesia generally refers to the loss of episodic memory about the past, that is, the patient can't remember the events that happened, but the procedural memory such as the skills learned still exists.
"Then can his memory be restored?" Xiao Zhang's mother asked with sobs.
"Probably not. If it is retrograde amnesia caused by concussion, it may be recovered, but his is caused by brain damage, and the chance of recovery is not high, but we will arrange relevant treatment for him."
"Then will his memory be affected?"
"It's not certain yet. But according to our experience, there will definitely be some impact."
Mu Mian felt very sad. If Officer Xiao Zhang had no memory of the past, would he still be Officer Xiao Zhang?
Xiao Zhang looked at Mu Mian and Fang Rui, and he felt a little familiar. He asked: "Are you all my good friends? Did I have so many friends before?"
Everyone answered: "Yes, we are your good friends and good colleagues."
Mu Mian introduced himself: "Hello, Officer Xiao Zhang, my name is Mu Mian."
Fang Rui said: "Xiao Zhang, I'm Fang Rui."
Xiao Wang grinned and said: "I'm Wang Yu, you used to call me Xiao Wang, you should still call me Xiao Wang in the future."
Xiao Zhang couldn't help laughing, "Your name is Xiao Wangba? What a funny nickname."
"Ah, Zhang Qiang, it's Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Zhang Qiang, I tell you, you must remember me, understand? We are good brothers, you can't forget me again."
"Got it, Xiao Wangba."
"It's Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang! Forget it, you can call me whatever you like. But you have to remember me."
"Well, I will remember, Wang Yu."
"I'm Li Weiyi, the little Li you always tease as a single guy. After you are discharged from the hospital, we can continue to play video games together on weekends. I will definitely not scold you for being a bad player."
...
The others introduced their names one by one. They let Xiao Zhang get to know them again.
Xiao Zhang looked at each face carefully. He tried to remember the faces of these people so that he would remember them next time he saw them. He looked at them many times, but he always felt that someone was missing.
Who was missing?
Xiao Zhang asked Xiao Li, "Why can I laugh at you for being single? Do I have a girlfriend? Where's my girlfriend? Why doesn't she come to see me?"
Xiao Li's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly added, "No, we were just laughing at each other. If you had a girlfriend, would you still play video games with me?"
Xiao Zhang confirmed again, "So, I am also single?"
"Yes." "Is
it so miserable?"
"Yes. Me, Xiao Wang, and you, the three of us are all poor singles."
Xiao Zhang pointed at Fang Rui and Mu Mian, "So, they are a couple?"
Xiao Wang joked, "Xiao Zhang, you still love CP so much!"
Xiao Zhang looked down at the mark on his ring finger, which was ring-shaped, and it seemed that he had worn a ring there before. He felt a little headache, and his heart seemed to be empty, and the wind was blowing in.
He seemed to have forgotten someone very important, but his friends and relatives were all here, so who could be missing?
Xiao Zhang asked, "How did I get hurt?"
"In a car accident."
"Ah, let me guess why. You just said I was a policeman. So was it because I was chasing the criminals and I was racing against the criminals, and I accidentally crashed into the car, so I ended up in the hospital?"
Mu Mian's eyes were red, and she didn't say anything. Even though Officer Xiao Zhang had lost his memory, he was still the funny, cheerful and imaginative person.
Fang Rui said, "Yes, you are a hero."
"Wow, am I that awesome?"
"Very awesome."
"Why are your eyes red? I'm awake, shouldn't you be happy?"
Mu Mian said, "We are happily sad."
"Hahaha, how can happy be an adjective for sadness? Your Chinese is not that good."
"I haven't learned Chinese."
Xiao Zhang looked at the huge bouquet of flowers in Fang Rui's hand, and he smiled and said, "Hey, come if you want, why did you buy such big flowers. But this shows that you must be my best friend."
"Yes."
Mu Mian emphasized, "I am also a very good friend of yours."
"It can be seen that you cried the saddest among these people, and your eyes are swollen. I must be your best friend."
"Yes."
Xiao Zhang had just recovered, and they couldn't stay too long to disturb his rest. They chatted with Xiao Zhang for a while and then left the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li squatted on the side of the road and cried silently.
Xiao Zhang had lost his memory and forgot everything, but he was still the same Xiao Zhang and would always be their good colleague.
