Forgotten Love - Chapter 25

Gu Huaian is such a liar!

What psychological ‘first time’?

When it comes to tormenting people, he’s no less relentless than he was before he lost his memory!

Gu Huaian hugged me from behind, looking utterly satisfied.

Just now, he “forced” me to say all sorts of sweet nothings.

Just thinking about it makes me so embarrassed I can’t bear to look at him.

“Go to sleep, wife.”

Gu Huaian smiled and held me even tighter.

In the darkness, I couldn’t see his expression.

But I couldn’t help but think of my mom’s little dog.

Every time it saw me, it would wag its tail happily.

Those big, wet eyes actually looked a bit like Gu Huaian’s…

The sound of his breathing beside me gradually became steady and regular.

I was just about to fall asleep when I noticed a new message on my phone.

It was from Lin Chen, sent a few hours ago.

“Still haven’t had time to come in for a follow-up?”

I was instantly distracted.

It felt like falling from heaven straight into hell.

My heart sank, bit by bit.

My thumb hovered over the screen.

After a long while, I replied:

“Doctor Lin, would tomorrow work for you?”

……

The next day, I made up an excuse, hoping to send Gu Huaian away.

“What kind of client is it that I can’t meet? Aren’t I the general manager of the company!”

After a night’s sleep, Gu Huaian’s clinginess had skyrocketed.

It took a lot of effort to persuade him-very reluctantly-to go to the company.

After a round of examinations, I felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Lin Chen advised me not to worry too much.

But when the results came out, he frowned deeply, hesitating to speak.

The so-called miracle hadn’t happened.

In fact, things were even worse than he’d expected.

“Miss Shen, at this point, it seems that only surgery offers any chance of a cure.”

Without surgery, there’s a 100% chance of death.

But even with surgery, the success rate is less than 30%.

And the most likely outcome is becoming a vegetative patient, lying in bed for life.

I told Lin Chen I needed to go home and think it over.

But before I could even catch my breath,

I received the investigation report on Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao returned to City A a month ago.

After coming back, she visited Gu Mother twice.

She even went with Gu Mother to pay respects to Gu Father.

In the photos, Lin Jiao is crying bitterly on Gu Mother’s shoulder. Gu Mother looks sorrowful, gently patting her back.

It seems she’s whispering something in her ear.

How is this… anything like what you’d expect between enemies?

The detective said that when they investigated the events of that year, the trail went cold halfway through.

All these years, it’s as if Lin Jiao has been protected by someone, her whereabouts hidden.

And this time she came back, coincidentally right after the Ji Family went bankrupt.

All the signs point to one thing.

There’s a very good chance that what happened back then… has hidden truths.

The follow-up results and the investigation report lay side by side on the table.

My mind went blank, and I stared off for a long time.

Finally, I picked up my phone and sent a message to a number with no name attached.

“Hello, Lin Jiao, this is Shen Qingruan.”

“There’s something I’d like to talk to you about in person.”
