Wu Hongxia placed Xie Xiu Lian on the warm kang in her home.
Lin Wanjun rushed over to check and found that Xie Xiulian's condition was not very good.
She is seven months pregnant, but her belly is only the size of a five-month-old's, which is obviously caused by malnutrition.
"What? You're seven months pregnant? I thought it was only four!"
When Wu Hongxia heard Xie Xiulian say she was seven months pregnant, her eyes widened.
"When I gave birth to my baby, my belly was this big at seven months!"
Wu Hongxia drew an arc with her hand, and her belly was twice as big as Xie Xiulian's.
"Doctor Lin, is she severely malnourished?"
Lin Wanjun nodded, but changed the subject.
"Given her situation, the small size of the fetus actually saved her life. Otherwise... she might not have survived until today."
If it was a normal pregnancy, even if no one informed Du Erzhuang, Xie Xiulian's mother-in-law would have discovered that her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant.
It is difficult to judge whether it is a blessing or a curse.
For a moment, the women in the room fell silent.
"Sister Xiulian, your lover..."
Wu Hongxia paused for a moment and said, "Your second uncle said he's from Liulin Farm Commune? Things have gotten to this point, so he has to come forward to protect you, right?"
"You are a widow and he is a bachelor. It is reasonable for the two of you to get married."
Other female members also agreed.
"That's right. You've already given birth to his child, how could he not fight for you? Who do you think he is? We'll find someone for you!"
Even Lin Wanjun looked at Xie Xiulian with curiosity, waiting for her to reveal the name of the child's father.
Xie Xiulian looked down at her belly, tears streaming down her face.
"He...he...I'm afraid he can't come!"
Xie Xiulian sobbed as she said this, covering her face with her hands and crying, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
What do you mean you can't come?
Is he dead? Or is it because his family doesn't agree?
No matter how everyone tried to persuade and enlighten her, Xie Xiulian gritted her teeth and refused to reveal the man's name.
In the end, she was so desperate that she knelt on the ground with tears on her face.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, I just can't. If I say the wrong thing, his life and property might be in jeopardy... He took that risk for me and the child!"
Due to severe mood swings, Xie Xiulian also had bleeding symptoms.
No one dared to force her anymore and could only let Xie Xiulian have a good rest to stabilize the fetus.
Lin Wanjun asked Wu Hongxia to take care of Xie Xiulian while she went to check on Shi Kai's condition.
After breathing pure oxygen all night, I don’t know how Shi Kai is doing.
I lifted the heavy door curtain and walked in, only to see the kettle on the stove emitting steam, and Song Lingyi sleeping on the edge of the kang.
Shi Kai, who was supposed to be lying on the kang, sat up blankly and looked at Lin Wanjun with a confused look on his face.
When their eyes met, Lin Wanjun's heart suddenly trembled and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.
She thought she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes hard, and opened them again. Shi Kai was still sitting there, even coughing a few times.
"Doctor Shi!"
Lin Wanjun was so surprised and happy that she almost lost control and threw herself to the edge of the kang.
Song Lingyi, who was dozing off, was awakened. She first saw Lin Wanjun coming back. Her face lit up with joy and she was about to greet her, but when she turned around, she saw Shi Kai, who had been unconscious more than ten minutes ago, sitting up.
“Hey! Hey! He…he…”
Song Lingyi was so shocked that she could hardly speak. She jumped up and kicked over the stool.
"Sister, am I seeing this right?"
Song Lingyi swallowed, her voice trembling a little.
Lin Wanjun shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"No, you read that right, it's the doctor, he's awake!"
After receiving a positive answer, Song Lingyi was so excited that she screamed and ran out shouting.
"Mom! Mom! He's awake! Doctor Shi is awake!"
Lin Wanjun stood by the kang and stretched out her hand to Shi Kai with a smile.
"Doctor Shi, welcome back to the human world!"
Shi Kai's gaze shifted from Lin Wanjun's face to her hands, and then back to her face after a moment.
"You are... Krillin?"
Lin Wanjun nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, I am Lin Wanjun!"
"I... I am... who am I?"
Shi Kai's eyes were blank and empty, and even his voice was no longer as gentle and peaceful as before.
Like a lost child, his face was filled with panic and his voice was even a little trembling.
"What's my name? Xiaolin, do you know my family's name?"
These words were like a bolt of thunder, striking Lin Wanjun hard on the head.
What's the meaning?
Shi Kai...lost his memory?
Yes, one of the sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning is confusion and mental retardation...
Realizing this, Lin Wanjun couldn't control her emotions and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Shi Kai was so frightened when he saw Lin Wanjun crying that he was at a loss what to do. He hurriedly wiped her tears with his sleeves, and was as nervous as a child who had made a mistake.
"Xiao Lin, don't cry! Did I do something wrong?"
Li Yuetang was extremely excited when she heard the news that Shi Kai had woken up.
She put down the half-washed bowl, wiped her hands casually on her apron, and ran into the house excitedly.
"Great! It's great that Doctor Shi is awake!"
"Doctor Shi is the only witness at the explosion scene. With his testimony, Dong Yingying's lies will be exposed, and your foolish brother will come to his senses and turn over a new leaf!"
Li Yuetang opened the door curtain and rushed in, and saw Lin Wanjun's tearful face and Shi Kai kneeling on the kang with a helpless look on his face.
"Oh, Doctor Shi is awake, that's great!"
Li Yuetang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Don't even mention Junjun, even I want to cry!"
Shi Kai looked at Li Yuetang coming towards him, his voice hoarse and confused.
"Who are you? Who is Junjun?"
Li Yuetang stopped abruptly and stared at Shi Kai with an incredible expression.
"You...you...you've lost your memory too, haven't you?"
The explosion made Song Zhanjin feel like she was bewitched. Her memory was confused and she was talking nonsense. She was already extremely worried.
Now, Shi Kai is somewhat familiar with this situation.
Lin Wanjun quickly adjusted her mood, wiped the tears from her face, and smiled.
"It's okay. This is a side effect of carbon monoxide poisoning. As long as you get active treatment, you will definitely recover."
When Shi Kai heard the professional term "carbon monoxide poisoning", he spoke subconsciously.
"Delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning is caused by carbon monoxide-induced brain damage and ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue. Symptoms are often seen in dementia and mental disorders..."
When talking about medical knowledge, Shi Kai seemed like a different person. His eyes were no longer empty and blank, but his whole body was shining.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Wanjun's eyes.
She tried to ask Shi Kai several medical questions, and without exception, he answered them all correctly.
Yes, Shi Kai was forced to lose some of his memories in the thick smoke.
He forgot himself, but he did not forget the medical knowledge of saving lives and the wounded, nor did he forget his Xiaolin.
Lin Wanjun smiled with tears in her eyes and looked at Shi Kai tenderly.
"Your name is Shi Kai, you're from North City, and you're an excellent doctor!"
Shi Kai nodded heavily like an obedient child and held Lin Wanjun's hand tightly.
"My name is Shi Kai, I'm a doctor, I will definitely listen to Xiao Lin's instructions!"
