BXBX NOVEL Chapter 335 - Three-Hundred and Thirty-Five: Memory Recovered
“Yun Nan, go find some ice,” Ye Kun shouted in a panic. Yun Nan hurriedly got up, tripped over the coffee table, and fell heavily to the floor.
Shi Nian couldn’t help but cry out distressedly. “Careful, Yun Nan!”
Yun Nan got up and stumbled to the kitchen. She rummaged through the refrigerator and shiveringly took out some ice from the freezer compartment. She wrapped the ice up with a towel close at hand and handed it to Ye Kun.
Ye Kun placed the makeshift ice pack on the back of Fang Xi’s head and said in a deep voice, “Call an ambulance!” Yun Nan immediately did as she was told. Xi Cheng was shocked by the scene before him. “W—What’s wrong with her?” Yun Nan and Ye Kun were too busy to pay attention to him. Shi Nian let up slightly and allowed Xi Cheng to stand up, but he still held him back, not letting him get close to Fang Xi.
Shi Nian softly replied, “Fang Xi has a clot of blood in her brain that hasn’t been completely absorbed all this time. That’s why she lost her memories. The doctors can’t tell when she’ll recover or even if she will ever recover. That blood clot in her brain is like a ticking time bomb. The consequences are unpredictable if it explodes one day, so she can’t be agitated!”
Xi Cheng panicked. “I—I didn’t know. I—I just, I just want her to remember me!”
Yun Nan turned around and looked at Xi Cheng coldly. “What good would remembering you do? Why should she remember that you wasted seven years of her youth and that you hurt and lied to her for seven years? Why should she remember that you got together with her despite having a fiancée and kept it a secret, causing her to unknowingly become a homewrecker?”
Yun Nan continued, “Do you want her to remember how your mother and fiancée came to humiliate her? Xi Cheng, just kill her and be done with it if you hate her! Why torture her to death slowly? Why torment her? What did she do to you to make you hate her guts?”
Xi Cheng’s heart ached; he ached to the marrow. “No! I don’t—I didn’t—that’s not how it is!”
“I don’t hate her! I love her! I love Fang Xi, not Lin Yu! I just want Fang Xi to remember me. I just want to live my life with Fang Xi and be with her like before, just the two of us. I want to be with her…” Xi Cheng covered his eyes and sobbed as he spoke the words deep in his heart.
Yun Nan icily stared at him. “How disgusting! Xi Cheng, you are the most selfish and shameless person I’ve ever met! Fang Xi originally thought that you didn’t make your relationship with her public because your family couldn’t accept her background, but she had no idea that you were two-timing her!”
Yun Nan clenched her fists tightly. “You say you want to be with Fang Xi and live a life with her? What kind of life would that be? Do you expect her to live in the dark like before? Dream on!”
Shi Nian was truly worried that Yun Nan would stab Xi Cheng directly in the heart if she had a knife. He hugged Yun Nan and patted her gently, indicating she shouldn’t get too agitated.
Ye Kun was single-mindedly focused on the temperature of Fang Xi’s forehead and paid no attention to anything else. The room suddenly became quiet, and only the sounds of their breathing could be heard. Ye Kun could feel Fang Xi’s breathing gradually becoming stable. Glad and relieved, he softly called out, “Fang Xi, Fang Xi? Can you hear me?”
Xi Cheng also lifted his head and stared at Fang Xi’s face. Head held in Ye Kun’s hands, Fang Xi lightly nodded, her eyes still shut. Ye Kun’s heart fell back down to his chest, and he couldn’t help but reach out and pull her into his arms. He choked, “You scared me to death, Fang Xi!”
Fang Xi slowly raised her hand and placed it on Ye Kun’s back as if to comfort him. Ye Kun carefully held her head and said gently, “Take it easy. Don’t think about anything. We’ll be heading to the hospital soon.”
Xi Cheng stepped forward and quietly called out, “Fang Xi—”
“Shut up!” Yun Nan and Shi Nian hissed lowly in unison. Shi Nian dragged Xi Cheng behind him and warned, “Do you want to watch her die?”
Xi Cheng opened his mouth, but Shi Nian glared at him before he could say anything and said, “Shut up!”
Fang Xi slowly opened her eyes while Ye Kun looked at her, worried. His hands were as stiff and cold as ice. Fang Xi gazed at him, her voice quieter than a whisper as she uttered, “I remember now.”
Ye Kun’s face went taut, and he said softly, “No, don’t think about it. Don’t think about anything. Let’s wait for the ambulance; see what the doctor—I‘
Fang Xi didn’t let him finish and continued, “Why are you so silly?”
Ye Kun looked at Fang Xi, his eyes red. “Do you still insist on marrying someone like me? Idiot,” Fang Xi teased.
The tears swimming in Ye Kun’s eyes finally fell. He tried his best to smile as he replied, “A Fang Xi like that is who I’m marrying! I must marry you and take you home with me! To love and cherish! To treasure for a lifetime! So, for my
sake, you must hang in there! Nothing can happen to you! I’m very fragile, Fang Xi. I’m really very fragile! Don’t leave me alone!”
Fang Xi sighed softly. “Alright, I promise you, I’ll hang in there, you silly man!” She slowly closed her eyes.
“Fang Xi!” Ye Kun cried out, scared witless, and didn’t dare move..
