Chapter Eighty-Seven: Amnesia!

  Looking at the doctor's worried face, Zheng Jie walked up and smiled: "Doctor, how is it? Nothing serious, right?"

  The doctor shook his head, pointing to the X-ray in his hand and said: "The film shows that the patient's brain has suffered a severe impact, which compressed the blood vessels and nerves inside, causing the blood flow to be unsmooth and forming blood clots accumulated inside. This situation is very dangerous for the patient, and at any time he may have a shock or even die."

  "What? This... can't be?! Is it that serious?" Little Meng asked in surprise.

  The doctor nodded and said, "Of course, this is just a preliminary diagnosis. The patient's condition needs to be further examined. However, based on my years of medical experience, the patient's current situation is very unstable. From his unconscious state, it should be acute brain failure."

  "Can...can it be cured? Will he recover?" Zheng Jie asked, looking again at the boy in the bed beside her.

  "What if he can't be cured? Will he suddenly go mad?" Xiaomeng also asked.

  "Haha, this is not possible. However, the current medical conditions in our hospital are still not ideal for patients. If you really want to cure him, it's best to take him to a bigger city like B City or similar places, where the environment is absolutely beneficial for his condition." The doctor said.

  Zheng Jie nodded, looking at the boy on the bed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him, thinking that this person was really too pitiful.

  "Oh, right, one of you come with me and help him get his medicine," said the doctor.

  "Oh, I'll go then. Zheng Jie, I'll go get the medicine." Xiaomeng hastily raised her hand and said.

  "Alright, you can go now, don't worry, I'll take care of this."

  Xiao Meng smiled and nodded, following the doctor to get medicine. As she was about to leave, she forgot to close the hospital room door. Zheng Jie shook her head, turned around, and went back to close it. At that moment, Zhang Zi Heng suddenly opened his eyes on the bed, then slowly sat up. He first looked around, feeling everything was so unfamiliar, then he turned his head and saw Zheng Jie. And Zheng Jie had just closed the door, turned around, and they happened to be staring at each other.

  Zheng Jie was visibly startled, she didn't expect this person to suddenly wake up. After a while, she smiled slightly and said: "You're awake? How are you? Does your head still hurt?" Zhang Ziheng looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if he hadn't understood what she was saying. Zheng Jie hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward, pointed to his head with her hand and asked: "I'm asking, does your head still hurt? Does it hurt or not?"

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow slightly, reached out to touch his own head, and suddenly a piercing pain came on, "Ah... ouch."

  Zheng Jie hastily walked forward and softly asked: "Are you okay? Is it very painful? Why don't you lie down and rest for a bit?"

  After feeling a bit relieved, the pain didn't seem so bad anymore. Zhang Ziheng looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and suddenly felt an inexplicable joy and fondness. "Ah......ah......you......you."

  "Oh, I'm Zheng Jie. It was me who saved you, you don't know. We found you in the river, and at that time you had already fainted. It was me and my friends who brought you to the hospital." Zheng Jie said with a smile.

  "In the river? Ah...... in the river? Ah!" Zhang Ziheng thought and thought, and suddenly his head hurt again, his whole face twisted, it's unbearable to think about how painful it was.

  Seeing his appearance, Zheng Jie felt as if her own heart was being twisted, and without thinking much, she hugged him into her arms, patting his back and saying: "It's okay, it's okay, don't think about it, if you don't think about it, it won't hurt."

  After a long while, Zhang Ziheng let out a deep sigh and looked at Zheng Jie, saying: "You... Zheng Jie?"

  "Yes, I'm Zheng Jie. And you? What's your name? Where does your family live? Do you have a home phone?" Zheng Jie asked with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow, thinking for half a day, but still couldn't remember who he was. "Ah, what's my name? Where do I live? What is this place? How did I end up here? In the river? At home? Name?"

  Looking at his worried and tired face, Zheng Jie shook her head and said: "Alright, you must be exhausted now, lie down and rest for a while." As she slowly helped him lie down, she continued to say: "You stay here, I'll go call the doctor, okay?"

  "Don't go." Zhang Ziheng hastily pulled her back, then looked at her with a pitiful expression and said, "Please, don't go, don't leave me, okay?"

  Zheng Jie smiled and nodded, patted his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not leaving, don't worry, I'll just go call the doctor, and I'll be right back."

  "No, don't." Zhang Ziheng said again.

  Just then, Xiaomeng returned with the medicine and saw them like this. She hurried over to separate them, then looked at Zhang Ziheng with a furious face and said: "What are you doing? Do you want to be a rascal? Let me tell you, my brother is a police officer, don't mess around!"

  Zhang Ziheng looked at the uninvited guest with a puzzled expression, as if wondering where she had come from. Zheng Jie shook her head and patted Xiaomeng's back, saying: "Xiaomeng, what are you doing?"

  "Zheng Jie, don't be afraid. Tell me, has he bullied you? Has he done anything to you? You tell me, I'll help you take revenge." said Xiao Meng.

  "Oh no, Xiao Meng, what are you doing? He didn't do anything to me! You misunderstood, geez." Zheng Jie shook her head and walked back to the bedside, smiling: "Sorry about that, my friend didn't mean any harm, don't take it to heart."

  "Hey, Zheng Jie, what's going on?" asked Xiaomeng as she walked over.

  "Oh, right, Xiaomeng, go call the doctor and tell him he's awake, hurry up."

  "Huh? Oh, okay, but be careful."

  "Alright, go ahead." Zheng Jie shook her head and smiled.

  The doctor checked Zhang Ziheng from head to toe again, and finally said: "To be honest, I have been a doctor for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a situation. At first, when he was in a coma, his condition was very unstable, but unexpectedly, after he woke up, all the indicators were normal again, which is really strange."

  "Then... Doctor, is he alright or not?" Zheng Jie asked again.

  "Well... I'm afraid my medical skills are limited, and I couldn't give you a definitive answer. However, one thing is certain: there's still a blood clot in his brain. So, I advise you to take him to a big city for further examination and surgery." The doctor said.

  "Blood clot?" Zheng Jie thought for a moment, then asked: "Right, doctor. You said his brain was severely impacted, is it possible that he got knocked out of his memory?"

  She said that, and Xiaomeng, who was standing beside her, laughed and said: "Zheng Jie, your words are really interesting. Do you think this is a movie shoot? How can someone lose their memory?"

  The doctor shook his head and said, "Amnesia? This is quite possible, there have been many cases like this before. What's going on? Has he lost his memory?"

  Zheng Jie nodded and said, "Yeah, I asked him when he woke up, but he couldn't remember anything, not even his own name."

  "What? No way! Is it true or fake? I think he's pretending!" Xiaomeng frowned and said.

  The doctor thought for a moment and asked again: "Are there any other symptoms?"

  "And also when I make him recall, he gets a headache, does that count?" Zheng Jie asked.

  The doctor nodded and said, "I see. That's a bit strange. Oh, right, I prescribed him some painkillers. If he gets another headache, give them to him, got it? If you really want to cure him completely, it won't work here. But don't worry, in B City, there's a big hospital where my friend works, and I'll give you his business card. You can go find him and try."

  "Really? Thank you so much, Doctor." Zheng Jie smiled and said.

  "Hey, what's the thanks for? As a doctor, I'm incompetent if I couldn't cure your friend. You're not blaming me, that's good enough. By the way, you'd better get going soon, the longer this illness drags on, the more unfavorable it'll be." The doctor said with a smile.

  "I understand." Zheng Jie smiled and said.

  Xiao Meng hastily pulled her aside and whispered, "Zheng Jie, what are you doing? You can't be serious about taking him back to B City, can you? This...this is just too absurd."

  "Xiao Meng, he's already like this, with no one to rely on. If we don't help him, who will? Besides, what's ridiculous about it? We should be proud of doing good deeds and helping people, how can that be ridiculous?" Zheng Jie said.

  "But... but you don't even know who he is, what if he's a bad person? What if he's an assassin or a secret agent or something, won't you be courting disaster?" Xiaomeng said seriously.

  She said that, Zheng Jie laughed, "Xiao Meng, how is this possible? You're thinking too much!"

  "How can it be impossible? I've seen it in movies, and those people who saved others all died, you..."

  "Xiao Meng, okay, stop being suspicious. Honestly. I'll take him out first, you go handle his discharge procedures, we'll wait for you in the car," said Zheng Jie.

  "What? I'm not going, whoever wants to go can go." Xiaomeng shook her head and said.

  "So you're telling me to go and you'll take him out?" Zheng Jie asked.

  "Uh... I'll go take care of the discharge procedures then." After saying that, Xiaomeng reluctantly left.

  Zheng Jie smiled and walked back to Zhang Ziheng's side, saying: "Come on, don't be afraid, I'll take you away."

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, slowly got up and let Zheng Jie support him as he walked out. As they walked, Zhang Ziheng looked at her and smiled, saying: "Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie."

  "Hehe, what's wrong? Why keep calling my name?" Zheng Jie laughed.

  "No, nothing, you have a name, great." Zhang Ziheng shook his head and smiled.

  "Don't worry, I believe you'll be fine and will definitely remember your own name."

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and smiled: "Mm, I definitely will."
