Preparation

"You'll start your training tomorrow. You can take a rest for today." Madam Bai said in a formal tone.

"She's...already stable?" Chen Dewei wasn't able to control himself. When he saw the woman on her dire state, his heart was being twisted painfully. 

It was him who should be there and not her. 

Of course, he didn't know it was Doctor Su's manipulation that the woman looked extremely pitiful. But Han Meili was actually in more serious state the first time she was admitted to that medical facility. The doctor was simply recreated the scenario.

"En." Madam Bai simply answered as she stood up.

She heard the subtle sigh of relief of the man. She glanced quickly and slowed down her steps as she's waiting for something.

"That's good.." He murmured.

The eyes of the older woman that was looking at the man became soft.

"Are you sure about letting her go?" 

Normally, she wouldn't bother with the life plans of the people around her, especially her subordinates.

As long as they would be obedient, then all would be good. 

But for some reason, she's being sympathetic with this young man.

Maybe because she wronged him when she thought he was the one who orchestrated the death of her parents, or maybe because she felt he wasn't really that bad but only made wrong decisions one after another. 

"It's better that way." He simply answered. What's the point of keeping her if in the end he would end up hurting her?

He's fully aware of Han Meili's feelings.

But for the moment, he's not confident to receive it.

He's not worthy. 

His heart felt empty and still in the process of healing.

He needed time. 

"If you say so." Madam Bai resignedly answered. The important point was she already got the person she needed. 

"Doctor Su...she can help Meili…" Chen Dewei said. He normally wanted to continue saying ...erase the memories about me.. But he opted not to. The remaining words were swallowed back.

If he wanted to be acknowledged before, now he wanted to be forgotten. Remembering him would do more harm than good to her. 

Besides, if that woman would throw her life again to save him, he couldn't offer anything in return anymore. 

"That would depend on the patient. If she's comfortable with Doctor Su, then there won't be any problem. Speaking of a new identity, I'll send you the details later."

Chen Dewei wasn't really interested in having a new identity but he still nodded in response. 

For the time being, he only wanted to be busy so his mind wouldn't be thinking of random things.

Perhaps he could subtly forget the guilty conscience that's eating him up.

"Can I start today?" He asked and hoping to get a positive answer. It was still almost noon thus starting his 'training' would be a good idea to pass time.

"No. Once you start, there would be no proper vacation unless you'll get an excellent performance. Might as well cherish your free day."

"I see."

"If you have other questions, find Bo Lin."

After Madam Bai left, the man didn't move an inch as if he became a statue. 

When Bo Lin came in to give additional details about his new persona and the place he would eventually stay, the man only gave a shallow response. 

Bo Lin, although he was still puzzled about this man's role in the leader's plan, he carried out the task he was given.

The following day, Chen Dewei was picked up by Bo Lin to start his training. Compared to the usual process of joining the organization, the man was exempted in several steps as Madam Bai knew his 'purpose'. He was also given a room that would normally for accomplished member. 

On the other hand, Doctor Su started the rehabilitation process of Han Meili and she also discussed the next steps towards her new life. 

After the morning session, the two went to the lounge to take a break. 

Madam Bai also informed the Doctor that they could take time. She needed to be sure that Han Meili would be really well by the time she would leave the medical facilities. 

In addition, if she would request something, the doctor should also inform Madam Bai and if there would be no possible problem in her request, she could allow it. 

After Han Meili heard this, she remained quiet for a given time.

"Do you have something you want to do before…" Doctor Su asked the woman after placing the cu of water on the table. 

"There are places I want to visit. As I want to totally erase my memory, after I can freely move around, please accompany me there." Han Meili answered in a soft and weak voice. 

"Of course." Doctor Su answered enthusiastically. 

The entire rehabilitation program she designed would last for at least two months. After then, if Han Meili wanted to have a reconstructive surgery for the other parts of her body, they could also do so. 

"Meili, don't worry. I will still be your doctor even after you get your new identity." Doctor Su uttered after seeing the silent lonesomeness of the woman.

Han Meili who was sitting on her wheelchair facing the doctor smiled slightly. Her eyes were full of gratitude. 

"Thank you. I wonder why you're so good to me. Perhaps you like me?" She jokingly said and chuckled softly. Her normal personality was indeed a bit bubbly with a hint of arrogance. But that was before she 'married' Chen Dewei. 

After living in that mansion, that characteristic evaporated as she lived with panic every single day. Still, despite being always on the edge, her feelings for him no matter how many times she tried to kill, survived and eventually bloomed? 

She must have been a masochist. And an absolute full to boost.

Now that she's on the road of forgetting that part of her life, her personality seemed to be slowly returning. It was probably the idea of starting a fresh that gave way to let her past self resurface a little.

Doctor Su became speechless. It wasn't because of her words, but because of her attitude. She noticed that yesterday after Chen Dewei left, this woman seemed to lost her soul. 

But when she visited her this morning, she was already calm. Originally she thought it would still take some time before Han Meili would accept her rehabilitation. 

When the woman said, she's willing to start as soon as possible and saw the eagerness on her eyes, she was still reluctant to accept. 

If Han Meili would continue to be like this, she could guarantee that her new life would be really good. 

"Hah, I'm straight. Don't doubt my pure heart. I am just really compassionate." She answered while snorting, feeling proud of herself. 

Han Meili smiled. Her eyes were gaining life little by little. She's good at hiding her innermost feelings anyway. 

Like what some people said, 'a lie repeated a thousand times will eventually becomes truth'.

Then starting from now, she would create her own truth.

Late afternoon in Younger Liu's couple house, Han Meixiu was staring blankly at the people who were moving package. 

She massaged the temple of her head before she walked towards the room of the twins. 

Looking at the newly delivered packages, it seemed that they should open another room to store these things. 

When she turned around she saw Liu Zijian walking out their room.

"Are they asleep?" She asked.

"En. Mom sent another package?"

"Packages. The twins are only two months old but they already have clothes till they will turn 7 years old. Sometimes I wonder if we are opening a nursery school or we have a dozen kids." Han Meixiu smilingly said. She didn't know if she would laugh or cry. 

"Then we can have a dozen.." 

Han Meixiu's eyes became sharp blades giving an enormous warning to the man. 

Liuy Zijian coughed and pretended to clear his throat before he smiled sheepishly. 'It was just a harmless comment.'

"Mommy Yi is not coming today?" Han Meixiu changed the topic quickly. 

"Yeah. She said she's finalizing the 100th day celebration. She asked me if we want to have a specific theme."

"We can let her decide about it." Han Meixiu answered. 

"Are you sure?" Liu Zijian looked at his wife doubtfully. If they would let Madam Liu decide for the theme of the celebration, they might be surprised with her bizarre ideas.

Just two days ago they received cute panda baby pajamas for the twins. The set also included a big size that was clearly for a grown up. After seeing the size, it was clearly meant for Han Meixiu. 

The older woman brazenly asked a picture when the three were wearing them. 

Liu Zijian who was the 'photographer' felt a little left out. Why there was only three? What about for him?

Actually, the set were supposed to be four but Madam Liu kept the other one for herself and she would wear them in a time she could sleep over. She was just waiting for a perfect timing. 

Han Meixiu stopped and pondered after hearing Liu Zijian's questions. "You're right. We should tell her specifically what we want...otherwise…"

Liu Zijian nodded and immediately called his mother to emphasize they wanted a normal celebration for the twins. 

It would be better to specify what is 'normal' for them. Liu Zijian even explained further. 

After the call, the couple sighed in relief.
