In the hospital, ye zhiqiao finally woke up under the watchful eyes of gu mohan and xiao bao after a day and night of sleep.
She blinked her eyes in confusion, as if she was not used to the natural light in the ward.
Seeing this, gu mohan quickly walked to the window and closed the curtains in half. Then he came back and stroked ye zhiqiao's forehead. He asked softly, "Is this better?"
"!"
Ye zhiqiao's face became extremely frightened at the speed visible to the naked eye. She sat up abruptly, waved away Mohan's extended hand, and asked in a dry voice, "Who are you?! Where is this? How am I... How am I here?"
After hearing her question, gu mohan was as frightened as she was.
"What's wrong with you, zhiqiao? I am gu mohan!" He pointed at himself first, then pulled the unknown little treasure in front of him and continued, "And little treasure, you fell into the lake with little treasure, don't you remember?"
In the lake? Small house? Ferris wheel?
Ye zhiqiao shook her head and felt a mess inside.
Seeing that she was more worried, gu mohan quickly rang the bell for the doctor, then leaned over and asked, "Do you have a headache? Or where does it hurt? Tell me what you just said. Don't you know who I am?"
Ye zhiqiao looked up at him for a long time, then opened her lips and asked tentatively, "Gu - mo - han? Are you gu mohan?"
Gu mohan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her name was called out and that the light in her eyes was no longer that confused.
"You scared me to death. Don't you know each other? Why did you ask that question just now? I thought you lost your memory."
"I know... I know you, and I know little treasure, but..." Ye zhiqiao shook her head again, as if there was always a sense of nothingness in it, "Why can't I remember why I was hospitalized? There are other... Things that I know, why do I seem to forget?"
Forget what you know?
She said nothing, and gu mohan could not understand what she was saying. Just as he was wondering, the doctor pushed the door open and walked in.
The doctor first gave ye zhiqiao some routine tests, then asked a few questions, and then said, "The patient has a partial memory loss, which we had expected before, so the family members don't have to worry too much."
"Partial memory loss?" Gu mohan read out the symptoms word by word and looked at the doctor, puzzled, "What does that mean? What did she forget?"
"It's not easy to say. It could be someone, or something, important or unimportant. It's possible, and it's not easy to say if you can remember it later."
The doctor frowned awkwardly and then said, "The main reason for this is that the patient experienced a long period of hypoxia, and part of the brain cells lost their activity. The result is largely irreversible."
A prolonged lack of oxygen caused... That is, if they were rescued earlier, they wouldn't have had the same result.
Gu mohan turned to look at ye zhiqiao, his eyes filled with heartache and guilt.
After ye zhiqiao was sent to the hospital, he waited in front of the emergency room and saw the phone call ye zhiqiao made earlier.
At that time, he was standing at a charity banquet in a suit and was excited about the success of a big project.
At that time, ye zhiqiao gambled all her hopes and called him for help.
He missed it. If he could get that call, if he could get there as soon as possible, even if he jumped into the water to comfort ye zhiqiao, it would be better than this.
However, it was too late to say anything at this time, and there was no way to exercise in the accident, so he could only try his best to make up for it in the future.
Just a few days later, it was ye zhiqiao's birthday.
After losing part of her memory, ye zhiqiao was always depressed. She sat by the window and stared at the distance all day, occasionally showing pain in her expression, as if she was trying to recall something but nothing came of it.
Seeing how distressed she was, gu mohan decided to make her happy on this birthday.
For this reason, he brought people to decorate the ward in a grand way, and bought a lot of flowers and threw them on the ground, hydrogen balloons piled on the ceiling, just like when he had confessed to ye zhiqiao before.
Because ye zhiqiao didn't like to be noisy recently, he didn't inform jian mengqi, not even little treasure, only he and ye zhiqiao.
However, the sky did not go according to people's wishes. Just as everything was going smoothly, no one expected that zhuang minjia would actually rush into the ward!
Ye zhiqiao stopped in the middle of blowing out the candles, and the lights in the ward suddenly lit up. Zhuang minjia's eyes were full of provocation.
"Oh, birthday?!"
After leaving the ye family, ye zhiqiao never saw zhuang minjia again. Even if it wasn't to threaten ye yiyu last time, she had already forgotten this person.
Why did zhuang minjia suddenly come here?
Birthday is a good day, ye zhiqiao didn't want to cause trouble, so she politely called out "Auntie," and then asked, "What's the matter with you coming here? Today is my birthday, so..."
"So I can't come?"
Zhuang minjia raised her chin, her eyes still bitter, "Have you ever heard of this saying on your birthday? I don't think I gave birth to you, but after all, your own mother is dead. As your stepmother, I'm half your mother. Shouldn't you come home to see me on such a day?"
At this point, zhuang minjia's meaning was already obvious.
She came here to find something, and deliberately chose ye zhiqiao's birthday to make things difficult for her.
Who doesn't know what kind of life ye zhiqiao has been living since zhuang minjia entered the ye family gate? She doesn't look like miss ye anymore, more like she's living under someone's roof! After ye yiyu was born, zhuang minjia's pressure on her increased.
Where did zhuang minjia's confidence come from?!
Ye zhiqiao didn't want to waste her breath with her, so she refused directly, "I won't go back to that house. You don't have to waste your breath."
"Is that how you talk to your elders? You still don't appreciate my kind offer to invite you back?!" Zhuang minjia's eyes widened and she snapped, "You have to go back today, and you have to go back if you don't! You are the daughter of the ye family, and your surname is ye. This cannot be changed!"
Have you started acting rascal?
Ye zhiqiao sneered and replied coldly, "You keep saying that I am a member of the ye family, but I believe that if you hadn't taken a fancy to the zeros in my savings and the status of the person beside me, even if I died outside, you wouldn't have looked at my daughter more!"
Her words were true, and zhuang minjia was speechless for a moment. She looked at gu mohan and then at her, gasping and staring.
