Ying Bao looked closely at her mother and did not see anything different from her usual mother, but Xu Xiyan’s hands felt different to her.
The calluses that Xu Xiyan got from playing violins weren’t on her right hand anymore.
Ying Bao was the first one to notice something was off. She climbed onto the bed, trying to hug and kiss her mother.
But Alice wasn’t as kind as Xu Xiyan was to kids. After the little girl kissed Alice on her cheek, she turned her head away and even frowned a little.
“Mummy, why aren’t you kissing me back?” Ying Bao asked, hurt by the little changes in her mother.
“I’m sorry, baby, but my head hurts a little,” Alice tried to explain, as she had no idea how Xu Xiyan usually treated her daughter.
“Ying Bao, let your mummy rest a little,” Huo Yunshen said, thinking that his “wife” was really experiencing a headache. “Why don’t you go and play with Uncle Treeleaf?”
The woman in front of him was so perfect a copy of Xu Xiyan that Huo Yunshen couldn’t even realize the difference.
After the kid had left, Huo Yunshen told his wife to lie down and get some rest. Alice listened and closed her eyes to rest.
Even though the act was successful, using it every day would be impossible.
Friends and family came to visit almost every day when they were at the hospital. Whenever Alice met with someone that she couldn’t recognize, she would fake having a headache.
Huo Yunshen finally realized something was off with his wife but couldn’t tell what went wrong.
After Alice had gotten a little better, Huo Yunshen transferred her to Professor Qin’s care.
When Qin Kun first visited “Jing Xi” in her room, he never expected for her to not recognize him.
“Don’t you know him?” Huo Yunshen asked.
Alice looked at Qin Kun and couldn’t recall anything about him. Her master never told her anything about the doctor in front of her.
“My head hurts…” Alice faked having a headache once more.
“All right, here, lie down.”
After Alice lay down, Huo Yunshen saw Qin Kun off.
When they were outside the room, Huo Yunshen asked, “Professor Qin, do you think people who are suffering from brain injuries will have symptoms like Jing Xi’s? I realized that she could only recognize me and no one else. What is going on here?”
“In most cases, the patient will experience temporary amnesia or selective amnesia,” Qin Kun explained. “In Jing Xi’s case, I’m guessing it’s the latter one. We’ll have to do a scan on her brain before we can be sure of it.”
“All right.”
But after the scan was done, Qin Kun found something quite shocking and quickly called Huo Yunshen into his office.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Yunshen asked.
“I checked her medical history in the other hospital,” Qin Kun explained, going straight to the point. “They said that she was suffering from intracranial hemorrhage and that they did an operation on her, am I right?”
