“Is it you? Xing Tuo…” Her voice uncontrollably trembled, gazing at him in a daze. The next second, her hand reached out to touch his cheek. These eyebrows, these eyes, the high nose, and his slightly warm skin – it was him. So, she wasn’t dreaming?
“Who… are you?” Xing Tuo did not stop her abrupt action, allowing her to caress his face.
She seemed not to hear his words.
Suddenly, she opened her arms and hugged him tightly. Yes, she could feel his heartbeat. He wasn’t dead. He was in her arms. As she thought this, tears began to flow wildly, dropping from her face and slowly falling on his neck.
Lei Xi slowly said: “We’re not completely lying to you. Back then, Xing Tuo did indeed have a car accident, a very serious head injury that required immediate surgery. The doctors said that even if he didn’t die, he might not wake up. However, domestic doctors didn’t dare to perform the surgery. They said that American medical skills were more advanced, especially in neurosurgery, and he might have a chance of survival if he went abroad. So, his mother made a decisive decision and arranged a special plane to take him to the United States overnight. He underwent surgery at the top neurosurgical hospital in the US. After the surgery, his condition was not optimistic. His life was saved, but doctors said he would become a vegetative patient. Later, after being in a coma for an entire year, he miraculously woke up, but he had lost all his memories. When he first woke up, his condition was terrible… he couldn’t speak clearly, and his limbs were uncontrollable. After a long recovery period, he gradually recovered. Even now, many years later, he still often suffers from post-traumatic headaches.
We didn’t dare tell him anything about you, as none of us know what exactly happened between you back then…”
She lowered her head, her dense black long hair cascading down and covering her face. He couldn’t see her expression, and he continued: “What I want to say is, no matter what happened between you back then, he now lives very peacefully. The doctors say he might never recover his memories. I don’t want you to disturb him… Do you understand?”
