Chapter 725 - 725: Awake!
When Du Meilan and the other two arrived, it was already early morning in Z-Sea.
Pei Huai did not sleep for an entire day and night. He did not feel anything in his body.
Shen Mu and the others took turns to rest. The bags of food and drinks prepared for the CEO were placed there the same way they were brought over.
Not even a bottle of water was touched.
“Slow down!”
On the way to the ICU, Xu Mingzhi walked very fast, and her eyes were burning with anger.
Du Meilan followed behind and simply couldn’t keep up.
Pei Shizhan had been supporting her.
Everyone’s heart was in a mess.
Pei Huai stood at the door of the ward. The girl inside was on a breathing machine.
The wound on her head was very serious. The hospital guessed that it was the main reason why she had not woken up until now.
The figure approached Pei Huai from the side at an extremely fast speed. Pei Huai sensed it, but he still did not dodge. Xu Mingzhi punched him in the cheek.
He tilted his head, and his cheeks instantly turned red. Blood seeped out from the corners of his lips.
Many people had tasted Xu Mingzhi’s fist, including Su Cunyi, but this was the first time she hit her son-in-law.
Du Meilan covered her mouth in shock, her eyes red. She stopped a few steps away from them, and Pei Shizhan patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Pei Huai lowered his eyes and did not speak. Xu Mingzhi grabbed his shirt collar. He was tall, so she was looking up at him.
Other than anger, there was another emotion in her eyes. She was not really blaming Pei Huai. She was panicking.
Pei Huai knew, but he did not comfort her.
He was not in the mood to think about anything other than Su Ji, not even Xu Mingzhi.
He gritted his teeth. After half a minute, Xu Mingzhi finally let go of his collar. She suppressed her emotions and went into the ward to see her daughter.
Du Meilan and Pei Shizhan walked to their son’s side at that time. Du Meilan hammered her son. She felt both angry and distressed.
In the morning, the doctor team had a meeting. Pei Shizhan and Du Meilan had a detailed understanding of Su Ji’s current situation.
Xu Mingzhi had been guarding Su Ji’s bed. When Pei Huai came in from outside, she immediately asked him to leave.
Pei Huai pretended not to hear her. After entering, he closed the ward door and sat on the other side of Su Ji’s bed. He took her pulse and observed her condition.
Xu Mingzhi didn’t care about him anymore.
One in the afternoon.
Xu Mingzhi had not slept for more than ten hours on the plane. In addition, she was tense all the time. At this moment, her headache was so bad that it felt like it was about to split open.
Pei Huai got up to pour her some water and then gave her some multipurpose medicine.
Turning around to walk to the hospital bed, Xu Mingzhi suddenly held Su Ji’s hand. “She moved her hand! She just moved her hand!”
Pei Huai’s body stiffened. He put down the cup and medicine and walked over quickly.
Soon, the doctor and the others rushed over.
Pei Huai placed his palm on Su Jits forehead and observed all her reactions.
She closed her eyes, and her eyeballs moved quickly under her eyelids.
After struggling for two to three minutes, Su Ji finally opened her eyes.
What greeted her eyes was Pei Huai’s face, which was right in front of her.
He was thin, determined, and carried an indescribable emotion.
But to Su Ji…it was a completely unfamiliar face…
She turned her head in a panic and avoided his hand. Her actions affected the wound on her forehead and she closed her eyes in pain.
Pei Huai’s hand stopped in mid-air.
“Baby, you really scared me to death!” Xu Mingzhi was so happy that she cried. “Where do you feel uncomfortable now?”
Mom…
Su Ji looked at her, and when she recognized her face, her puzzled eyes gradually revealed emotions that were different from when she saw Pei Huai.
Xu Mingzhi hugged her, and the doctors and nurses were delighted.
Su Ji twisted her body in discomfort. Pei Huai looked at her expression.
Shen Mu thought that Ms. Su was feeling uncomfortable because he had touched her wound. “Madam Xu, be careful of her injuries.”
He reminded her carefully. Xu Mingzhi reacted and quickly let go of her daughter.
“Baby, it’s me.” She looked at her daughter, who seemed to be playing dumb.
She wiped her tears and smiled. “What’s wrong with you?”
Su Ji did not answer her. She looked at her hand, then turned over to look at the back ot her hand. She was stunned tor a long time.
She’s back..?
Du Meilan and Pei Shizhan also noticed the abnormality. A few minutes later, the joyful atmosphere in the ward turned cold again. They soon realized that Su Ji did not remember anyone except Xu Mingzhi.
Du Meilan, Pei Shizhan, Shen Mu… even Pei Huai.
Everyone stood around the bed and surrounded her. Su Ji hugged her knees and leaned her back against the bed, like a frightened little animal.
She didn’t know why she was here, and her sudden return wasn’t out of her own will.
Du Meilan comforted her, but she still didn’t speak or answer anyone’s questions.
She only shook her head or nodded.
Xu Mingzhi asked the doctor what was going on.
The doctor was not too surprised. “It’s amnesia.”
“Amnesia?” Everyone in the room asked at the same time.
The doctor adjusted his glasses. “Miss Su’s head injury is very serious. In the five hours before she was fished out, her brain was in a state of lack of oxygen. Therefore, I told Mr. Pei yesterday that if Miss Su wakes up, there is a high possibility that she will suffer from amnesia.”
“Then how long will it take for her to recover?” Xu Mingzhi asked.
The doctor shook his head. “No one can say for sure. If it’s temporary amnesia, it will recover in a few days or hours. Otherwise, it will take longer, a few weeks, a few months, a few years, or even…”
He looked at Xu Mingzhi’s expression and said awkwardly, “she might never remember what happened in the past.”
The ward fell into a dead silence.
Shen Mu and the others couldn’t help but look at their CEO.
It was fine for Ms. Su Ji to forget anyone, but how could she forget their CEO as well?
Pei Shizhan looked at his son, and his gaze fell back on Xu Mingzhi. “In-law, no matter what, she is awake now. As long as there is no problem with her body, we will slowly help her recover and find the best doctor for her. She will definitely get better.”
Du Meilan couldn’t understand why such a thing would happen all of a sudden. Originally, she had already started preparing for their wedding, waiting for the two children to return to the country to start organizing, but now…
Everyone was waiting for Pei Huai, but Pei Huai did not say a word.
He had been in this state since the moment Su Ji dodged his hand.
He looked at her curled up hands, her evasive and dim eyes, her fear and resistance towards himself, and her unfamiliar surroundings…
His heart was suddenly emptied by a huge black hole. Pei Huai could not make a sound for a long time.
He was trying to determine if Su Ji had really lost her memory or…
At the same time, in another time and space, on a gorgeous but hard wooden bed…The real Su Ji suddenly opened her eyes!
The dozens of people beside her bed had different expressions when they saw her open her eyes!
