She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 147: Chapter 0147: The Omen of Memory Recovery

Yun Xi was startled and quickly glanced at Mu Lan, switching the form of address in her urgency.

“Mu Lan, are you alright?”

Mu Lan felt as if her head were splitting and her ears were ringing so badly, she couldn’t hear a word Yun Xi was saying.

“A headache, Yun Xi… my head hurts so badly.”

Yun Xi narrowed her eyes and quickly noted down the license plate of the car that had suddenly changed lanes and nearly caused an accident.

“I’ll take you to the hospital.”

She turned the steering wheel and headed straight for Shen Zichu.

Mu Lan’s mind flashed back to fragmented scenes like a stuck PowerPoint presentation.

She felt like her head was about to explode, and she was in severe pain.

Unlike the previous times of mere headaches, Mu Lan had a premonition that these blurry images were the memories she had lost from the past seven years.

Just as she had mentioned wanting to recover her memories, the trouble started.

If trying to recover her memories was this painful, Mu Lan would rather continue living in confusion. Her whole brain felt like it was on the verge of exploding all the time,

After arriving at the hospital, Shen Zichu saw Mu Lan in so much pain that beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and he immediately called for a consultation with the neurosurgery experts.

However, by the time the experts had arrived, Mu Lan’s pain had suddenly vanished.

If the experts didn’t know about Mu Lan’s condition, they might have thought she was playing a prank.

The department head conducted some basic tests on Mu Lan and then took a brain CT scan.

He put the scan on the medical light box for observation and asked,

“I looked at your last visit records, can you feel the difference between this and the last headache?”

Mu Lan held her forehead and thought for a moment.

“I can’t quite tell, the way it hurts seems the same, I can’t really distinguish, but it feels like my brain is about to burst.

However, this time my mind would flashback through some images, though they are blurry and I can’t clearly make out the details of the images.”

Flashback through images? The experts looked at each other. Although neurosurgery was not Shen Zichu’s specialty, the scan showed that Mu Lan’s brain was perfectly normal, the blood clots had also cleared up completely, and other parts like the cerebellum, thalamus, and brainstem showed no abnormalities.

“Based on my experience, it could be a precursor to memory recovery, but I can’t be one hundred percent certain.

After all, the human brain is a very complex organ, and many symptoms currently cannot be explained completely accurately by medical science.

I can only make some judgments based on my clinical experience.

Plus, both instances occurred during car accidents, it’s very likely that you have developed a stress response to car accidents.”

Mu Lan was silent for a while before asking,

“Do you mean, if I want to fully recover my memories, should there be a continuous stress response repeatedly stimulating my brain?”

The chief pondered for a moment.

“Theoretically, it is very likely, but… the consequences of a stress response may not be what you want to achieve.

If the accuracy is not well managed, excessive stimulation might cause irreversible damage to the brain.”

Irreversible damage…

Mu Lan nervously swallowed, wondering if she might accidentally turn into a fool?

Shen Zichu thought for a while, then asked,

“Chief, given her current condition, could hypnotherapy help her recover her memories, and could it possibly reduce the stress response?

Otherwise, her having these irregular headaches isn’t a solution either.”

The chief shook his head, not quite agreeing.

“I personally do not recommend hypnotherapy, given that her lifestyle hasn’t been adversely affected by the amnesia.

Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to take this risk, as even the most conservative treatment methods have their risks. It’s better to let nature take its course.”

Mu Lan understood from this conversation that if she wanted to recover her memories, she should just let nature take its course.

“I appreciate your help.”

“No need to be polite, as a friend of Director Shen, I would, of course, do all I can.”

Director Shen? Mu Lan looked towards Shen Zichu, thinking, he’s really impressive, he has already become a director.

“Thank you all for your hard work, everyone is busy.”

Fulfilling his obligations, Shen Zichu led Mu Lan out of the Neurosurgery Department.

“Director Shen? Wasn’t he just a chief before? He got promoted so quickly?”

A fleeting, indistinct emotion crossed Shen Zichu’s eyes, but soon, he appeared as usual.

“It’s not official yet, it will only be announced at the shareholders’ meeting next month.”

“Congratulations, congratulations! That makes our Xiaoman the director’s wife now.”

Mentioning Gu Xiaoman, Shen Zichu’s reaction wasn’t very enthusiastic, something Mu Lan keenly detected.

Although Huo Tingxiao had said that matters of the heart are known best to the individuals involved, as Gu Xiaoman’s best girlfriend, she still wanted to properly remind Shen Zichu.

“Shen Zichu, Gu Xiaoman is very decisive, not like me being stubborn. If you don’t seize the opportunity well, and do something that burdens her heart…”

“It won’t happen, now that we’re married, I will treat her well.”

There was that phrase again, no wonder he was a good friend of Huo Tingxiao.

“It’s not about keeping a pet, what does treating her well even mean? You should properly love her! I’m telling you, girls are sensitive about these things.”

Shen Zichu raised his eyebrows, looking at Mu Lan.

“Is that so? Well, she isn’t too bothered, got a big heart.”

Mu Lan rolled her eyes, massaging her still-uncomfortable head.

“My head is still hurting, I can’t be bothered to talk about it.

Oh, by the way, don’t mention my check-up to Huo Tingxiao.”

“Why?”

“The Huo Family has enough on their plate already.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Shen Zichu’s face.

“Being so considerate of him? I’m sure he would be very touched if he knew.”

With a shrewd gaze, Mu Lan keenly sensed the deep implications in Shen Zichu’s words.

“Testing my attitude?”

Shen Zichu immediately raised his hands in a surrender gesture.

“Wrongly accused, wrongly accused, how could I dare?”

Mu Lan grimaced and said:

“You sure know how to repay tit for tat; I hardly mentioned a few words to you, and you immediately threw them back at me.

At least Huo Tingxiao and I are doing fine now, though I really disliked him at the beginning, but after some interaction, he seemed alright.

But our situations aren’t the same, as you know.

Gu Xiaoman was about to go back to her hometown, and if it weren’t for your sudden proposal, she might not even be in Sea City anymore.

So, you should understand what I mean.”

The seriousness in her tone made Shen Zichu silent for a moment before he spoke again.

“Gu Xiaoman is indeed quite admirable.”

Mu Lan was exasperated, so a wonderful girl only warranted a ‘quite admirable’ remark.

“Anyway, you’re fortunate to have found a gem. Just make sure you don’t mistake a gem for a weed.

Huo Tingxiao also told me that outsiders shouldn’t comment too much on matters of love, but, Shen Zichu, I’m just that blunt. Gu Xiaoman has had a hard life since she was young, and if you ever betray her, I definitely won’t let you off.”

Just as Shen Zichu was about to say something, someone walked up behind them, interrupting their conversation.
