Despite the chaos, Jin Chenyue remained outwardly calm, carefully observing and comforting Gu Anyun.
“You just woke up, don’t move around.” Jin Chenyue grasped both her wrists and tucked them under the blanket. “I’ll call the doctor…”
“No~”
That soft, cooing protest nearly cost Jin Chenyue his life.
His ears instantly flushed so red they seemed capable of dripping blood.
Before he could react, Gu Anyun had already broken free from his grip. Her slender arms slid like eels around his waist, wrapping tightly around him.
Jin Chenyue’s tall frame stiffened instantly.
In their three years of marriage, this was the first time Gu Anyun had taken such initiative with him.
“Gu Anyun, you…”
“Hmph, if you won’t hug me, then I’ll hug you myself!” Gu Anyun clung to him tightly, her coquettish demeanor bearing no resemblance to her usual cool and distant self.
Jin Chenyue was practically going insane.
What on earth was wrong with her?!
Gu Anyun waited and waited, but he still didn’t hug her back, leaving her extremely dissatisfied.
She lifted her head, her beautiful, misty eyes fixed on him. “Why aren’t you hugging me?”
“…”
Jin Chenyue’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He closed his eyes.
He knew Gu Anyun wasn’t acting normal, but he was afraid of frightening her, so he had to calm her down first.
His stiff arms rose, pulling her into his embrace. His large hand gently patted her back. “Be good, it’s alright now.”
With his comforting words, Gu Anyun’s pent-up grievances instantly poured out. She let out a loud “wah” and began sobbing.
“It was really scary… When the accident happened, I thought I was definitely going to die…”
Jin Chenyue was startled by her crying, momentarily stunned.
But she was genuinely crying, tears gushing like a spring, quickly soaking the fabric of his shirt.
Jin Chenyue reached up and touched her face, his palm instantly becoming damp…
These tears were certainly real.
The usually calm and composed man was now somewhat flustered, wiping her tears and patting her back.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now. The doctor has already checked you; there’s nothing wrong with your body…”
“Really, nothing’s wrong with my body?” Gu Anyun suddenly lifted her head, her teary, beautiful eyes red-rimmed as she looked at him.
She looked utterly pitiful, making Jin Chenyue’s heart clench painfully.
He wiped the tears from her face with his thumb. “Yes, your body is fine. You’re still very healthy.”
“That’s good…” Gu Anyun sniffled, tightening her arms around his waist. “Being healthy is good. I still want to have babies with you, hubby!”
Jin Chenyue: “…?!”
This was bad, really bad. The situation was far worse than he had anticipated!
Jin Chenyue took out his phone and dialed Nan Qiu’s number. “Come here immediately.”
He hung up and then dialed Shen Zhilu’s number.
Just as the call connected, Jin Chenyue was about to speak when his lips suddenly felt a warm touch.
He frowned, looking down to meet the woman’s moist, sparkling, beautiful eyes.
Gu Anyun blinked at him. “Hubby, your lips are so soft~”
Jin Chenyue: “!”
He closed his eyes and silently ended the call.
He chanted inwardly, stay calm, you really need to stay calm…
But how could he possibly stay calm with Gu Anyun acting like this?!
…
Half an hour later.
Inside the hospital room, Nan Qiu sat by the bed, holding a knife as she peeled an apple for Gu Anyun.
Gu Anyun sat on the bed, somewhat bored, picking at her fingers.
Outside the hospital room, Jin Chenyue was speaking with the three neurology specialists who had just finished examining Gu Anyun.”From what we can see now, the young mistress’s condition is likely cognitive confusion caused by post-traumatic stress from the car accident.”
“What do you mean?” Jin Chenyue’s expression darkened. “Are you saying she’s lost her memory?”
“It could be said that her memory has developed issues, but it’s quite different from typical amnesia. The young mistress’s memories have become jumbled. Simply put, certain specific memories in her mind have been altered, leading to a drastic change in her personality.”
Jin Chenyue raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Can it be cured?”
“Well…” The specialist adjusted his glasses. “There’s too little clinical data on this kind of sudden cognitive disorder, so we can’t give a definitive answer. However, no lesions were found in her brain. I suggest referring her to the psychology department. Psychological disorders caused by car accidents are quite common, and usually, such cases require intervention and treatment from a psychologist.”
…
In the hospital room, Gu Anyun absentmindedly ate the apple Nan Qiu had peeled for her, her beautiful eyes constantly drifting toward the door.
Her delicate face was no longer cold and aloof; instead, it was filled with many small expressions, lively and adorable.
Nan Qiu had been watching her for a long time and still found it surreal.
How could a car accident cause such a complete transformation in her personality?
Gu Anyun grew impatient from waiting. Biting her fork, she muttered, “What are they talking about? Why is it taking so long?”
Nan Qiu looked at the young mistress, who seemed like a completely different person, and found it hard to adjust.
But she hadn’t forgotten Jin Chenyue’s instructions and replied calmly, “The young master is worried there might be lingering effects on your health, so he called in a few more specialists to examine you again. He’s just concerned about you.”
“Oh!” Gu Anyun smiled sweetly. “When I woke up earlier and saw his serious expression, and he didn’t even come over to hug me, I thought he was in a bad mood!”
Nan Qiu: “…”
Jin Chenyue quickly contacted a psychology specialist.
Gu Anyun was forced to undergo another psychological evaluation.
Half an hour later, the results came out.
Outside the hospital room, the psychologist told Jin Chenyue, “The young mistress might have nightmares over the next few days. This is actually quite normal—many patients who have just been in a car accident experience this. It’s not a big issue. Family members should spend more time with her and offer guidance.”
Jin Chenyue frowned. “Is that all?”
The psychologist smiled. “Why do you ask that, Mr. Jin? You should be happy that Mrs. Jin doesn’t have any major issues!”
Jin Chenyue: “…”
He should be happy, but when he thought about Gu Anyun’s current state…
He truly didn’t know whether to feel relieved or worried.
After seeing the psychologist off, Jin Chenyue raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
His phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw it was his mother-in-law, Cui Tang, calling.
He answered the call. “Mom.”
“Is Tangtang awake yet?”
Jin Chenyue glanced at the closed hospital room door and sighed softly. “She’s awake.”
“She’s awake!” Cui Tang exclaimed excitedly, then sensed something was off and pressed further. “A Yue, why do you sound like that? Is there something wrong with Tangtang’s health?”
“Mom, don’t worry. All her physical examinations came back fine.”
“Then why did you sigh?”
“I…” Jin Chenyue truly didn’t know how to explain and felt somewhat helpless. “It’s better if you come see for yourself.”
“Alright, we’ll head over right now.”
…
Half an hour later, a stretch limousine Rolls-Royce pulled up at the hospital entrance.
The driver got out and opened the car door.Jin Fang got out first, shaking off his suit jacket.
On the other side, Gu Qiaoxi stepped out of the car, then turned to help his wife down.
The three of them hurried straight to the inpatient ward.
They had asked for the room number beforehand, so it didn’t take long to find their way.
Arriving at the VIP inpatient ward on the 18th floor, they located Gu Anyun’s room.
The door was slightly ajar.
Cui Tang walked ahead and, without much thought, reached out and pushed it open.
“Tang…”
The word “Tang” never left her lips, because Cui Tang was stunned by the scene before her.
In the room, her daughter, dressed in a hospital gown, was sitting on Jin Chenyue’s lap, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her face buried in the crook of his neck, whimpering, “Hubby, I just fell asleep and dreamed about the car accident again, boo-hoo, it was so scary. I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime~”
Jin Chenyue, locked in her embrace, stood frozen like a statue, his hands held stiffly in the air.
The three elders standing at the door collectively gasped in shock!
Gu Qiaoxi covered his face with one hand, utterly distressed. “It’s over, it’s over. Our baby has knocked her head too hard.”
Cui Tang: “…”
Jin Fang: “…”
