308 I Will Not See Him Anymore
It turned out that no matter how stoic he pretended to be on the surface, his heart still longed for her. He still remembered the feeling of holding her hand and hugging her in the past.
Just like now, she was simply holding his hand, so weak that he could break free with just a little force, but he was like a puppet controlled by her. The remote control was willingly handed to her, and she could control his actions.
Fortunately, the nurse at the door arrived in time and he was able to catch his breath. He gently let go of Xia Yan’s hand and stood at the side in silence.
The nurse rushed over and listened to He Miao’s description of the situation. She did a preliminary examination on her again and said helplessly, “The doctors from the radiology department have already returned home from work. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow for a detailed examination. However, from what I can see, it’s just a series of reactions caused by a shock after she lost her memory. There should not be too much of a problem.”
“What amnesia?” Chen Zheng furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the nurse with a murderous look.
If she did not remember anything, why did she hold his hand and stop him from leaving?
He almost thought that she was willing to forgive him.
However, if she did not remember anything, would they be able to start over?
The nurse was shocked by his fierce expression. She blinked her eyes innocently and said, “Mr. Chen, the patient’s head was hit, which caused temporary amnesia. You didn’t know about it?”
He Miao glanced at the dazed Chen Zheng, thanked the nurse politely, and sent her off. Then, she walked back to Chen Zheng and looked at him seriously. “Yanyan’s not doing well right now. She must’ve been triggered by seeing you just now. Why don’t you go back and rest first? You can come see her tomorrow when she’s better.”
“I can’t leave.” Chen Zheng clenched his fists and looked at the girl on the bed who was looking at him timidly. A thought urged his heart to beat faster and faster. He could not help but walk to the bed and reach out to hold the girl’s hand again. A cough outside the door pulled him back to reality.
“Chen Zheng, who allowed you to come in and see Yanyan!” Lu Shuang stood at the door with a ferocious expression, staring at the man who was frozen in the ward.
He had already given up on her daughter once for money. No matter what, she would not let her daughter make the same mistake!
“Get out! You’re not welcome here!” Lu Shuang glared at Chen Zheng and stepped aside. Her meaning was clear.
Chen Zheng glanced at Xia Yan, who was in a daze. Lu Shuang’s timely appearance reminded him of the mistakes he had made in the past, and he was almost overwhelmed by regret. He turned around and lowered his head gloomily. “Alright, I’ll leave now. You guys take good care of her. I won’t come back again.”
“That’s the best.” Lu Shuang glared at him coldly as he left the ward. When she turned around, she had a bright and gentle smile on her face. “Yanyan, look what I bought you.”
It was already late at night and she drove to a restaurant owned by a friend far away. She only managed to buy a few dishes, all of which were Xia Yan’s favorite dishes. There was even hot chicken soup in the thermos.
Xia Yan could not sit up by herself now and could only get the nurse to press the bed switch to prop up the bed so that she could barely sit up and eat.
She looked at her mother, who was busy by the bedside table, and suddenly asked in a weak voice, “Mom, who was the man you just chased away?”
Lu Shuang’s hand that was placing the food on the table paused and her face darkened. “Why are you asking for him for no reason? He’s a scumbag! Yanyan, remember this, stay away from him the next time you see him. He’s the reason you’re in the hospital!”
“Mom,” she said. Xia Yan swallowed her hoarse throat and endured the pain in her heart. She asked gently, “But if he’s so bad, why does my heart still hurt when I see him?”
“Yanyan,” Lu Shuang held back the tears in her eyes and sat beside her. She held her hand and said, “You have to listen to me. Don’t see him again. If he dares to come again, tell me and I’ll help you chase him away!”
“Alright,” she said. Xia Yan nodded gently. The pain caused by her conditioned reflexes after the accident was too torturous. Although she could not remember anything now, she could tell from the pain that the man had done to her in the past.
That was why she would listen to her mother and not see him.
It was rare for Lu Shuang to see her daughter so obedient when it came to this matter. Her heart warmed slightly. She personally scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and put it to her mouth. “Have some. Be good. When you’re full, go to sleep.”
“You guys should come and eat together. I bought a lot. It’s been hard on you guys today.” Lu Shuang had a good impression of He Miao and the others, so she would not treat them badly. Before she came back, she had even specially asked if there were any empty rooms in the hospital for them to stay the night.
