Tao Yu wanted to say there was only one routine check-up left, but seeing Yue Linze’s indifferent expression, she wisely kept quiet and left with her head down.
As soon as she left, Yue Linze’s previously cold eyes immediately became complex – anger, relief, and a mix of longing. His eyes held a hundred emotions that were hard to describe. Although his brain finally felt less chaotic, he still felt a headache.
After a while, he closed his eyes to calmly organize his memories. When he opened his eyes again, the other emotions were gone, replaced by a stubborn determination.

When she woke up, it was already dark. She sat on the bed for a while before getting up, yawning and tidying herself up briefly, planning to eat something and then go back to sleep.
As soon as she went out, she saw the housekeeper standing at the door about to knock. She was stunned for a moment before reacting: “Mr. Housekeeper, is there something I can help you with?”
“Dr. Tao,” the housekeeper said with relief after seeing her come out, “Mr. Yue suddenly complained of a headache. I’m worried it might be a post-treatment sequela, so I wanted to ask you to take a look.”
“A headache? That shouldn’t be the case. His brain activity has already decreased, so he shouldn’t be feeling uncomfortable,” Tao Yu said, though puzzled. She told the housekeeper, “Please go ahead, and I’ll call someone and come right away.”
“Okay,” the housekeeper said and hurriedly left.
Tao Yu was confused for a moment but didn’t have time to think more. She went back to change into her white coat and then ran to Yue Linze’s room. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Yue Linze sitting on the sofa with a furrowed brow. She quickly walked over and politely asked, “Mr. Yue, how are you feeling now?”
“Headache,” Yue Linze said slowly.
Tao Yu asked further, “Where specifically?”
Yue Linze extended his long fingers and pointed to his temple.
Tao Yu nodded to the assistant who was already prepared. The assistant immediately began preparing the equipment. She then smiled and said, “Let’s do a check-up. I want to see your current brain activity level.”
