Chu He was stunned for a moment before she slowly put her hand down and furrowed her brow. “Is there a mirror around?”
The girl’s voice was colder than she remembered.
Meng Qingxue was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, compared to the Chu He in her memory, the person in front of her now seemed unfamiliar!
Icy and serene, like the Queen of Darkness.
Chu He would never have spoken to her in such an apethetic tone.
Perhaps it was the surgery that had caused her personality to change so drastically.
Meng Qingxue hurriedly brought her a mirror.
Chu He picked up the mirror and looked at herself. She noticed that the right side of her head was covered with a thick layer of gauze. Her complexion didn’t look good, especially her lips, which seemed to be covered with a layer of thick powder.
Meng Qingxue had no idea how she was doing, so she asked rather indirectly, “The doctor said that after your surgery, you might not be able to regain your memory immediately. However, if you recover well, it will definitely be completely restored!”
Chu He interrupted and asked her, “How long will it take for me to recover fully?”
“Huh?” Meng Qingxue was at a loss. She did not know exactly what ‘a complete recovery’ meant.
“Did the doctor say when I may be discharged?”
“At least until the stitches are removed?! The doctor said that the stitches can be removed in a week. As long as the stitches may be removed properly, you should recover faster than most people!”
Chu He nodded her head when she heard that. However, unexpectedly, the moment after Meng Qingxue remarked that it would take a week before the stitches could be removed, Chu He obediently lay down and closed her eyes. Her sleeping posture was straight and very much like that of a soldier.
Meng Qingxue had never seen Chu He behaving this way.
Her attitude towards Meng Qingxue was like that of a stranger’s – could she have forgotten who she was?
Just as Meng Qingxue’s imagination started to run wild, Chu He suddenly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, “Qingxue.”
“Yes!” When Meng Qingxue heard the girl calling her name, she immediately approached her excitedly and whispered, “I’m here. Chu He, what do you wish to say?”
She was wondering if Chu He was able to, after the surgery, recall the past without remembering her.
The doctor said that during the postoperative recuperation period, the blood vessels and nerves in the brain would no longer be under pressure, due to the sudden disappearance of the blood clot. Gradually, the lost memories would be recalled.
Except that, while some of these patients were indeed lucky enough to be able to recall what had happened before, they forgot what happened afterward.
How nice.
Chu He remembered her!
“Chu He, what do you wish to say to me?”
As soon as Meng Qingxue finished speaking, Chu He said calmly, “I remember everything.”
“…”
Meng Qingxue’s expression froze.
“So… so soon? The doctor said that you might not be able to regain your memory immediately after the surgery. Your physical make-up…”
“Qingxue…”
Chu He replied quietly, “I remember who that man is.”
That man?
For a moment, Meng Qingxue did not know who “that man” was referring to.
Chu He replied, “Xiaobao’s biological father.”
“…”
Meng Qingxue stared at her in bewilderment.
“You finally remember?”
“Yes.” Chu He opened her eyes again, but they were bloodshot, “I actually forgot this man’s name. Unbelievable. I once swore that I would never forget this name.”
