Yong Liwei was startled. He rushed to her side with a worried look on his face. He asked, "M-ngjie? What's wrong?"
She held her head, her brows were knitted together because of the pain. She only tried to think but her mind was denying it. She felt like her head was being punctured by nurous needles. It was too much. Her brain was fighting back whatever she wanted to rember.
The man didn't know what to do to help her with the pain so he pressed the buzzer on the side of the bed to call for dical help since this was sothing he couldn't handle at all. "ngjie, don't force it." His voice was gentle and yet there was a mixture of worry, panic, and sothing else from it but Lu ngjie was too distracted by the pain to even notice it.
She was panting heavily. Her headache continued until the nurses and a doctor entered the room, rushing towards the patients. Since Lu ngjie was groaning a lot and looked like she was in so much discomfort, the doctor didn't have a choice but inject so dicine to put her back to sleep. Her body lost its strength, her eyes slowly shut themselves as she shortly beca unconscious and beca still on the bed.
"What happened?" The doctor inquired him, speaking the common language: English.
"She was forcing herself to rember the mories she lost," Yong Liwei explained without breaking his stare from Lu ngjie's sleeping state. There was no sign of worry or anxiety on his face, unlike earlier. It was as if he has quickly put on a mask so that others won't be able to see through what he was genuinely feeling.
"Ah…" The doctor was already aware of her condition thanks to Tian Ruyi who explained it when they arrived earlier. He looked at his patient and sighed. "Not just in a fugue state, Mrs. Bai has dissociative amnesia."
Mrs. Bai… he did rember Lu ngjie telling him about a fake marriage earlier. The man finally tore his gaze from the unconscious woman just to look at the doctor, waiting for him to continue. This ti, the eagerness was seen in him.
"With this condition, her mind rejects thoughts, feelings, or information that she's too overwheld to handle. This is usually caused when a person has severe trauma or stress," he further explained. "The brain is the most complex part of the human body. There are patients, while in their amnesia state, will suddenly rember mories of childhood that they do not rember anymore as an adult. It can also go as far as being an infant. So even suddenly beco genius depending on which part of the brain was 'damaged' in the accident. A genius can also turn into a normal person depending on the head injury they had. That's why, the brain is the most essential and most sensitive part of a human being. If the brain itself is touched on an area that shouldn't be touched, even if it's sothing as light as feather, we will not know what kind of effect it will bring to the person."
Hearing the doctor's words, Yong Liwei's face turned blank as he suppressed the overwhelming emotion he felt inside.
"If she wakes up, please let know. If a mother is stressed, it will be bad for the baby," said the doctor.
"Baby?"
It so happened that Tian Ruyi left that part when she had a private conversation with him. She only told the doctor about her pregnancy. Yong Liwei landed his gaze on Lu ngjie's baby bump.
No wonder she was was wearing loose clothes. It was hard to notice. There were won whose baby bumps were still small despite being in their fifth month already and Lu ngjie happened to belong in their group.
"Yes. Pregnant won tend to be sensitive, their hormones tend to beco imbalanced so it will be for the best if she can avoid being stressed out."
Yong Liwei was quiet for a few seconds. There were so many things going on in his mind but nothing was visible on his face. He opened his mouth and finally spoke, "okay. I'll call you once she wakes up."
With that, the doctor excused himself and left the room with the nurses.
It was quiet now, just like how it was before Lu ngjie woke up earlier. The only noise ca from the chanical sound of the heart rate monitor. Her heart was back to beating steadily.
Yong Liwei sat back at the chair beside the bed and once again, stared at her beautiful, unconscious face. She was like a princess who was put to sleep because of a curse. Snow White who was sleeping in her bed made of glass.
She was pregnant. He didn't know how to react. The emotions in his eyes were unreadable, covered by sothing else.
