"Amnesia?" Ding Muyu couldn't believe it when she heard about this plot twist straight out of a TV drama. "Does the amnesia last forever?"
"Not necessarily. Someone with amnesia might recall things one day, or they might never. Once the patient wakes up, they won't remember who they are. It's crucial for family members to patiently help the patient recover."
"I understand. Thank you, Doctor." Ding Muyu nodded.
The doctor nodded and left.
Truthfully, Ding Muyu was very surprised when she first heard the news. But after careful consideration, she felt it was also an opportunity given to her by fate.
Sheng Chenjin had amnesia, which meant he would completely forget everyone he loved, past and present. This was Ding Muyu's chance to enter his life and tell him that she was his wife.
The thought made Ding Muyu more excited, as if she were anticipating the moment Sheng Chenjin woke up and they could be together forever.
Ding Muyu appeared in the ward. Ye Yun had already finished the hospital admission procedures for Sheng Chenjin.
"How is he? Sister Ding, what's wrong with Sheng Chenjin?" Ye Yun's heart leaped into her throat the moment she saw Ding Muyu walk in with a grave expression.
Seeing Ding Muyu ignore her, Ye Yun grew more anxious. "Sister Ding, please think of a way!"
"Do you want to live?" Ding Muyu retorted sharply, startling Ye Yun. "I... Of course, I want to live! Sister Ding, is Sheng Chenjin beyond saving?"
"I'm telling you, the doctor has already called the police," Ding Muyu stated directly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's legs nearly gave out. "How could this happen?"
"That's right. The doctor discovered that we are not Sheng Chenjin's real relatives. To find his family, he's reported it to the police. Once the police investigate, they'll find out what happened and who is responsible for Sheng Chenjin's condition." Ding Muyu's tone was relentless, pressing Ye Yun step by step.
Ye Yun's face turned ashen. "Sister Ding, please, save me, save me."
Ding Muyu's expression was icy. "I can save you, but you have to do exactly as I say. Otherwise, no one can help you."
At this moment, Ye Yun only cared about saving herself and didn't consider any potential flaws in Ding Muyu's words. "Okay, okay, Sister Ding. Tell me, I'll do anything, as long as you can help me cover this up. I don't want to go to jail, I really don't want to go to jail."
Ding Muyu gripped Ye Yun's arm tightly. "Calm down now!"
Ye Yun finally calmed down.
Ding Muyu took out a check from her bag. "Here's some money. Buy a plane ticket immediately and leave tonight. I don't care where you go, as long as you don't come back here. The police will investigate this, and I will help you then, but if you stay in this city, I won't be able to do anything."
Hearing Ding Muyu's words, Ye Yun quickly snatched the check and said, "Okay, I'll disappear far away. I'll never come back, never!"
With that, Ye Yun, clutching the check, rushed out of the ward.
Ding Muyu's heart settled. With the only witness dealt with, she could now claim the amnesiac Sheng Chenjin as her own without any scruples.
Ding Muyu walked to Sheng Chenjin's bedside and gently caressed his cheek. "Sheng Chenjin, I never imagined that in the end, I would be the only woman accompanying you in this life. Wait for me. Once I've sorted everything out, we can be together forever."
After speaking, Ding Muyu walked directly to the nurse's station. "I want to transfer the patient."
Wen Xiaoxiao had been waiting with Shi Xinxin at the entrance of the restaurant for over two hours. It had been a long time since she last spoke to Sheng Chenjin, and he still hadn't appeared.
"What's going on?" Wen Xiaoxiao wondered. "His phone is unreachable, and he's not showing up. Does he not want his wife anymore?"
Shi Xinxin, still groggy, leaned against Wen Xiaoxiao, mumbling, "Sheng Chenjin, hurry up, I feel so unwell, please come quickly."
"What's wrong with your husband? He's not showing up at all," Wen Xiaoxiao complained to Shi Xinxin in frustration.
Suddenly, a car stopped beside them, and a familiar head popped out. "What's happening?"
Recognizing Gao Yuan, Wen Xiaoxiao thought help had finally arrived. "Gao Yuan! Come here quickly and help."
Gao Yuan got out of the car and helped Wen Xiaoxiao support Shi Xinxin. "Did you guys party too hard? You got Shi Xinxin drunk. If Sheng Chenjin finds out you made her drink, you'll be in trouble."
Wen Xiaoxiao handed Shi Xinxin over to Gao Yuan, her shoulders slumping with exhaustion. "Don't even start. Your good friend promised to pick up his wife two hours ago, and there's still no sign of him. Not only that, but his phone is busy. It's just a constant busy signal."
Gao Yuan frowned in confusion. "But Sheng Chenjin got off work very early today. He even told me with a smug, sweet expression that he was going to pick up his wife. He hasn't arrived yet?"
"How should I know where he went to pick up which wife!" Wen Xiaoxiao grumbled.
Gao Yuan found it strange. Sheng Chenjin was incredibly fond of Shi Xinxin, wanting to have her by his side at all times. How could he be this late?
"Whatever, let him enjoy himself wherever he is. Let's just get Shi Xinxin home first," Wen Xiaoxiao said.
Gao Yuan nodded. "Okay, I'll take Shi Xinxin home first, then I'll take you."
So, Wen Xiaoxiao and Shi Xinxin got into Gao Yuan's car.
"Why are you going this way? Isn't the Cultural Street faster?" Wen Xiaoxiao, looking at the now sleeping Shi Xinxin, chatted casually with Gao Yuan. She was eager to get Shi Xinxin home so she could rest, having waited too long with her for her unreliable husband.
"They said there was a car accident on Cultural Street, causing a traffic jam. It's slower to go that way now," Gao Yuan replied, turning on the car radio.
The news was currently reporting the car accident on Cultural Street.
