Needless to say, those words struck like lightning. Not just on Xu y but also every single person who was present in the room.
"Bro, you don’t know who she is?" Ye Jun was the only person who could raise this question. He was cautious with his words but he was really horrified at the simple idea of... What if his brother really doesn’t know Xu y? But he rembered everyone else. So... Selective mory loss?
Jie took a deep breath and turned his eyes away from Xu y like she was just any passerby he didn’t care to know about. "Didn’t I just say, I don’t?" As Ye Jun opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish, Jie continued, "Why? Am I supposed to know her?"
Everyone shared a look not knowing what to say. What could they say?
"It’s alright if you don’t know her." Lin Shen was the first one to answer as he entered the room with a group of doctors behind him. "No need to strain your mind." He smiled pleasantly and gestured for the other people to leave the room.
With only the doctors in the room, all the necessary tests were carried out. Outside, Xiamu had called for a nurse to bandage Xu y’s bleeding hand while he put slippers on her feet. Xu y sat like a statue, not caring for the words around her. The world had gone into a flurry for her.
’He doesn’t rember ? My Ah-Jie forgot ?’ Xu y couldn’t believe it. No, her heart wouldn’t let her believe it. She rembered once he said, ’I’m afraid you might even forget one day.’ She held her head in her hands. ’Ah-Jie, I didn’t forget you... Just like I promised you I won’t. Then how could you forget instead?’
She kept shaking her head as the lancholy of her heart starting to sink in her soul. Her breathing was still ragged and slowly it started getting worse. But suddenly, her body went numb. Completely numb.
Why?
Because her own words rang in her mind, ’If you forgot , I’ll lose my reason for existence.’
And that’s exactly how she felt. She suddenly lost her reason for existence. Lost herself into an abyss of darkness all over again. And a lost person can’t possibly feel the pain. That person can only feel numb.
She didn’t care what Lin Shen or the other doctors said. She went back to her own room and went inside the bathroom to splash so cold water to feel sothing... Anything would be fine for now.
"Haha... Why are you upset? Didn’t you decide to leave him?" Xu y stared back at her reflection that seed like it was admonishing her.
Xu y let the palms of her hand lay flat on the cold marble sink and felt her tears brimming up. "But I never wanted him to forget ." She whimpered.
"Oh, so you want to leave him but you still want to torture him with your mories? How selfish of you!" That voice the only rationality she was left with.
"No, no! That’s not what I want. But..." Xu y tried to find for a reasonable excuse. "But he needs to rember our baby. Yes! How will he care for our baby if he won’t even rember ?"
"That’s a nice way to convince your guilty conscious. But for how long?" After that, the voice vanished and Xu y was left with her own self again. She entered the room and curled up her body on the bed in a fetal position.
Staying awake till morning, Xu y was distorted with her own thoughts. Finally, not being able to take it anymore, she stord off to Jie’s room.
Azalea was feeding him so soup when Xu y entered with blazing eyes. She shot a look to Azalea and said only one word, "Out!"
Feeling the danger, Azalea made her presence small and briskly left the room. Jie was still frowning at Xu y but stayed quiet as if waiting for her to speak first.
Xu y took steady steps towards Jie. "You don’t rember ?" Her voice choked up.
"Am I supposed to?" He retorted blandly.
"Of course! You can’t forget . That doesn’t make sense."
"Why? Who are you to ?" Xu y felt like soone twisted a dagger in her heart.
"Ah-Jie!" She called out his na affectionately and softly.
"Miss, I don’t think we are that close. Also, you shouldn’t be here. I’m a married man and you are a single lady. You might not care but I definitely don’t want to upset my wife at all."
"Your wife? I am your wife, damnit!" Xu y finally burst out.
Jie chuckled in amusent. "Nice try. But don’t you think I’d know my wife? She’s the sweetest person in the world. Certainly, soone careless like you can’t be my wife."
As he spoke, his gaze was stuck on her feet that were yet again bare.
"Ah-Jie-," Before Xu y could say anything, he interrupted her.
"Miss, please leave. I’m tired. I need so sleep." He even lowered his body indicating that he was indeed going to sleep.
Biting her lips, Xu y hesitated but still turned to leave with a heavy heart.
Watching her leave, Jie’s expressions shifted as a cold expression took over.
Suddenly, a silvery and graceful voice rang in the room, "Bliy!(*) I must say that was one Oscar-winning performance. But aren’t you going a bit too far?"
(*) ’Bliy!’: My Goodness!
