In the hospital ward.
After Ning Anmiao woke up, she tried to get out of bed and take a walk in the hospital corridor. However, after just a few steps, she felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaying quickly caught up with her, buttoned up the top button of her hospital gown, and supported her. "You just woke up. You need to rest for a while."
Ning Anmiao wasn't used to lying in bed all the time. She frowned slightly. "Did Dr. Zhou say how long I need to rest?"
"Silly girl, you injured your head, not some other part. It's normal for the recovery period to be a bit longer."
Bai Jiaying comforted her. "Mom will take care of you these days. You don't need to rush to get better. You need to take your time to recuperate."
Back in the ward, Ning Anmiao sat up straight, reached for her phone, and glanced at the calendar. Her eyes widened in surprise.
"Mom, it's already May?"
She clearly remembered that it was still February before. "Have I been in a coma for three months?"
This question made Bai Jiaying freeze. "What three months? You've only been in a coma for three days."
"Silly girl, are you still groggy from sleep?"
Ning Anmiao suddenly felt something was wrong and asked again, "Then why did I fall into a coma?"
Seeing Ning Anmiao looking so flustered, Bai Jiaying also felt something was amiss. She hesitated for a moment before explaining, "You were attending an awards ceremony when a chandelier on the venue fell and hit your head."
After saying that, she took out her phone, found the on - site video leaked by the media, and showed it to her.
After watching the video, Ning Anmiao looked solemn.
It seemed that... she had lost her memory.
In her memory, she didn't have the experience of rushing to protect Lu Yan like she was going to her death and getting hit by the chandelier. Instead, she remembered the scene of slipping and falling to the ground three months ago.
That's why after waking up, she naturally thought that she had fainted because of the fall.
But obviously, that wasn't the case.
What had happened in these three months?
She turned her head blankly and said stupidly, "Mom, I seem to have lost my memory."
To be precise, she had lost the memory of these three months.
Strangely enough, what she lost wasn't her entire memory, but only the memory after she proposed divorce.
Bai Jiaying was worried about her daughter's health, so she quickly called the doctor over for a check - up. The doctor explained that it might be because there was too much congestion before, which compressed some of the nerves.
"This situation is quite common. You may recover your memory after a while, but it's also possible that you'll lose it permanently."
"However, Miss Ning is quite lucky. She only lost fragmentary memories. Generally, with such a serious head injury, one may either lose all their memories or become paralyzed all over."
Ning Anmiao listened and fell into deep thought.
After the doctor left, Bai Jiaying comforted her. "It's only three months, and nothing important probably happened. It's okay."
Afraid of worrying her mother, Ning Anmiao looked up and smiled. "I know, Mom."
After watching the video, she was only scared.
She was grateful enough that she could wake up unscathed after being hit on the head by such a heavy object. What did those few months of memory matter?
It was nothing more than getting along with Lu Yan and being sneered at by Lu's mother a few more times. There wouldn't be any good memories.
Thinking of this, she felt completely relieved.
In the evening, Bai Jiaying originally wanted to stay in the ward with her. There was a cot in the ward, but Ning Anmiao kept persuading her to go back to the hotel and have a good rest, and come back the next day.
Unable to resist her daughter, Bai Jiaying had no choice but to smile and ask her what she wanted to eat for breakfast the next morning, saying that she would bring it over, and then she left reluctantly.
When there was only herself left in the ward, Ning Anmiao calmed down to think.
A lot of questions popped up in her mind.
Clearly, Lu Yan had agreed to divorce her that night three months ago. Why hadn't they divorced three months later?
Even if it took time to settle the post - marriage property, it should have been done by now.
What on earth was the reason?
Maybe only Lu Yan knew the answer.
She thought it was necessary to have a good talk with Lu Yan about these three months.
Just then, her phone rang as if on cue. It was Lu Yan calling.
She lowered her eyes and pressed the answer button.
The moment the call was connected, the voice on the other end came through clearly.
"Miaomiao, don't leave me."
His voice was very hoarse, as if he had smoked a lot of cigarettes. "Can you not leave me?"
Helplessness and sadness almost came through the receiver.
"You... you're drunk."
She almost fled in a hurry and immediately hung up the phone.
After that, she was always absent - minded.
The doctor told her to go to bed early, which would be beneficial for the recovery of her brain nerves, so she turned off the light early and lay in bed with her eyes closed.
But she just couldn't fall asleep.
The more she wanted to sleep, the more awake she became.
All she could think about over and over again was Lu Yan's words.
"Don't leave me."
She remembered Lu Yan's tone at that time, and her heart skipped a beat.
But in an instant, she quickly regained her senses.
Don't leave him?
That was just a fantasy.
Over the years, wasn't it always her, Ning Anmiao, who was at risk of being left behind at any time?
Just when they were about to divorce, why was he acting out this affectionate drama?
She let out a couple of bitter laughs. The momentary palpitation finally subsided and gradually turned into numbness.
Ning Anmiao, stop falling in love.
He's not worth it.
In a daze, she fell asleep.
Late at night.
Outside her ward, there stood a man with a straight figure. He stayed there for a long time.
When Ning Anmiao was in a coma before, Lu Yan had been staying by her side all the time. The on - duty nurse who passed by recognized him and immediately walked over, saying considerately, "Mr. Lu, are you here to see Miss Ning?"
"She's already asleep. You can go in and take a look."
Hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly looked up at the nurse. His voice was dry and hoarse. "I..."
"Miss Ning's mother has gone back to the hotel to rest. Now there's only Miss Ning in the ward." Seeing him hesitating, the young nurse thought he was afraid of Bai Jiaying and couldn't help but snicker in her heart.
Even a big shot like Mr. Lu was cautious when facing his mother - in - law.
This was a good man!
"You should go in and take a look quickly. Maybe Miss Ning isn't in a deep sleep yet."
The young nurse's enthusiasm left Lu Yan with no way to back out. He nodded slightly, raised his hand, and gently pushed open the door.
The room was very quiet.
He didn't even dare to turn on the light. He just stood in the dark.
There was deep affection in Lu Yan's eyes as he looked at Ning Anmiao sleeping soundly on the bed.
She looked much better. There was color on her face, and all the monitoring equipment beside her had been removed. She was no different from an ordinary patient.
It was estimated that in a few more days, she would be able to be discharged from the hospital.
Looking at Ning Anmiao's smooth long hair, Lu Yan had a momentary urge to touch it.
Her long hair was very soft and smooth, but also very delicate.
Every time when blowing her hair, she had to use the lowest setting of the hair dryer and the temperature couldn't be too high, so that she could have long, smooth and shiny hair.
All these were taught to him by Miaomiao.
