Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Recovering Memory

Qiao Yi had no choice but to make such a request.

Initially, she thought that the news of Lin Ke’s pregnancy would make Lu Ming give up wooing her, but unexpectedly, after Lu Ming got busy for two days and arranged Lin Ke’s probation, he started to court her even more vigorously!

This guy must seriously have some kind of major problem!

Ignoring his own lover to disgust her instead!

No matter what Qiao Yi thought, Lu Ming continued to do things his own way, and even after being publicly snubbed by Qiao Yi twice, he intensified his efforts.

He seemed determined not to give up until he had won Qiao Yi over.

Thanks to him, Qiao Yi now had to avoid Lu Yanchuan almost every day, otherwise, Lu Yanchuan would always try to implicate her in plans to have children together.

Unable to stand Lu Yanchuan’s jealousy, Qiao Yi had no choice but to try to divert Lu Ming’s attention, and Qiao Xin was the best solution she could think of.

Use magic to defeat magic, use a romantic rival to defeat a romantic rival; leaving Lu Ming to Qiao Xin could allow Lu Yanchuan to let go of her sooner.

Yun Qing accepted Qiao Yi’s request and began changing the treatment plan for Qiao Xin, focusing on dispelling the congestion in her brain.

Actually, even before Qiao Yi came to see Yun Qing, Qiao Xin had already begun to gradually regain her memory. However, those fragments were all meaningless and did not help her recovery at all.

During this month, Qiao Yi also started to fall a little for Lu Chen, liking the meticulous care he showed her, his tenderness, and his simplicity, all of which she cherished greatly.

Qiao Xin didn’t tell Lu Chen about regaining part of her memory, as she didn’t want to lose his protection over such trivial memories.

Lu Chen liked her, which Qiao Xin could tell, and he confessed that he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

Qiao Xin didn’t believe in love at first sight, but she trusted her instincts and believed in Lu Chen’s feelings for her.

Qiao Xin knew about the change in the treatment plan, and also knew it would accelerate her memory recovery.

Though Qiao Xin didn’t want to leave Lu Chen, she even more so didn’t want to continue living in a muddled state forever.

She wanted to know who she really was, to be with Lu Chen proudly and openly with her true identity!

The more her memory returned, the more conflicted Qiao Xin felt.

She remembered her identity as the young miss of the Qiao Family, learned of the family’s status, and found her own marriage records online.

She was already married and it was a business marriage. Were she and Lu Chen destined to separate?

Qiao Xin didn’t want to part from Lu Chen, but once the memories began recovering, she couldn’t stop them even if she wanted to.

The more memories returned, the sadder Qiao Xin felt, and these emotional changes could not be concealed from Lu Chen.

"Xinxin, what’s been wrong these past few days? You seem very preoccupied."

"Xinxin? Xinxin!"

"Huh?"

Caught in her emotions, Lu Chen had to call her several times to snap her out of it.

"Xinxin, what’s wrong with you recently?"

"Oh, oh! Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that the treatment plan changed recently, and I may not be adapting well, probably haven’t rested enough."

Lu Chen noticed that Qiao Xin’s smile was forced, but he didn’t probe further and continued to take care of her as always.

His doing so only intensified Qiao Xin’s guilt and pain.

It was she who had wronged Lu Chen, she simply did not deserve the pure and fervent love that Lu Chen gave her.

If possible, she would rather have died at the bottom of the cliff, never having been saved by Lu Chen.

But there isn’t a pill for regret in this world, and one and a half months after Yun Qing altered the treatment, the hematoma in Qiao Xin’s brain was completely cleared, and her memory fully restored.

She remembered everything, Qiao Yi, Lu Yanchuan, Lu Ming...

One by one, familiar names, faces, and scenes finally connected in her mind.

But, after all the images faded away, what remained was Lu Chen’s shy smiling face.

Lu Chen... This foolish man must not know yet that she was leaving. Just yesterday, he foolishly asked her when they could get married...

Qiao Xin’s eyes welled up, and she silently cried into her blanket.

It was time to make a decision!

"Xinxin? Xinxin!"

Lu Chen, as usual, brought breakfast to the hospital, but he didn’t find Qiao Xin in the room.

Thinking that Qiao Xin had gone out for a walk, Lu Chen waited in the room, but it wasn’t Qiao Xin who came, rather a nurse who came to clean up.

"Young man, stop waiting, the patient in this room was discharged last night!"

Having come here for over two months, Lu Chen was a familiar face to the hospital nurses, seeing him searching for Qiao Xin again, the older nurses looked at him with pity.

Their greatest pleasure was sharing patient gossip, nearly all of the nurses knew about Qiao Xin’s identity shortly after she was admitted to the hospital, but Yun Qing had issued a gag order, not allowing them to freely discuss it.

They had watched the unfolding of Qiao Xin and Lu Chen’s relationship, clearly aware of the couple’s feelings.

On one hand, there was a lavish arranged marriage from a wealthy family, on the other, a commitment that sprung from a life-saving grace; they all waited to see how Qiao Xin would choose.

As expected, how could a poor boy compare to someone rich and powerful, he was inevitably left behind!

"Do you know where she went? Did she leave any message for me!"

Lu Chen, grasping at the nurse who had just spoken to him, hurriedly asked, but the nurse shook her head and pushed him away regretfully.

"Miss Qiao left suddenly, we don’t know where she went, you better leave quickly."

Hearing this, Lu Chen slumped into a chair, his mind replaying every moment he had shared with Qiao Xin.

It shouldn’t be! Qiao Xin wouldn’t be so heartless as to leave him alone!

Where did Qiao Xin go? Why did she leave without saying goodbye!

Being Qiao Xin’s boyfriend, Lu Chen could certainly see that Qiao Xin had regained her memory, but since Qiao Xin didn’t want to admit it, he naturally didn’t push her. Both keeping secrets, they felt perhaps they could just continue this way.

But now, it seemed evident from Qiao Xin’s turmoil over the last few days; she was wondering whether or not to leave him!

Now it seems, Qiao Xin ultimately didn’t choose him...

Leaving the hospital, Qiao Xin went directly back to her apartment, and as soon as she entered, she knew someone had been there. Checking her belongings and finding everything in place, Qiao Xin could confirm that it was Lu Ming who visited.

Without a doubt, Lu Ming was obsessing over the 30% shares she held, the purpose of his visit to her home was surely to find the share transfer documents!

What a joke, how could she possibly leave something so important at home!
