3. Lost Memory

Inside the head's office at Chang Conglomerate.

Adrian sitting on the leather chair, signing several documents as he heard his trusted assistant, Liang Xi reporting his morning schedule for the day.

" President, Mr Lee asked for some times to see you this weekend. I set up a meeting at 9 am. Are you alright with this time?"

" Cancel it. I want to accompany my wife at the hospital that morning. Change it to noon time at 1 pm." Adrian gives the order without hesitation. For him, the time with his wife is precious more than anyone else. His priority for his wife shall be the first in everything.

" Alright. Also, next week at the exhibition days, Mr Jiang asked you to give speeches for an hour to introduce..." before Liang Xi ended his words, he was cut short by Adrian.

" Too long. Half an hour only. I want the time with my wife longer on that day." Adrian closed the last file in his hand and put it aside. He put down the pen and gives attention to Liang Xi's reports.

Liang Xi choked, coughed up his own saliva. Feeling depressed, he silently accept the order and write it down on his notepad.

" Lastly, tonight, Miss Felicia asked for dinner..." again, his words cut short. This time, by Adrian's handphone. He takes a look at the screen and saw Dr Feng name on it. He quickly accepted the call as if he knows this call was about his wife.

" Jun, how Layla? She's good?" He asked quickly. Every call from Dr Feng is important than his parent's. Feng Jun another side chuckled at the quick question from Adrian.

" Calm down, Ad. I called you because she's awake. Come at the hospi..." the call was cut short. Adrian shot up from his seat as the words 'she's awake' keep ringing inside his mind.

' She's awake...'

' Finally...she's awake!!'

He ran out of the office, leaving Liang Xi dumbfounded and confused. Dis he just gets ditched by the President? He wanted to cry...

Step! Step! Step!

Dr Feng went out of the VIP room after finishing the examination on Layla. He saw Adrian rushing toward him in his long stride. Uhm, more like running actually. Before Adrian's hand touch the doorknob, Dr Feng catches his arm, stopping him from entering.

He saw Adrian's expression turned ugly as his entrance was denied by Dr Feng.

" Jun! What the...!" Adrian's words were cut short by Dr Feng's serious expression. His heart thumped as a bad premonition crept inside his heart.

" Shush! Calm down, Ad. You follow me first," Dr Feng sternly looking at him, daring him to disobey. Adrian wanted to explode, but thinking about his wife's condition, Adrian take a deep breath to calm down.

" Can't we talk here? I need to see her! It's been two years...Jun, please." Adrian's longing has been accumulated by years. The pent up frustration and stressful desire almost choking him to death. Dr Feng sighed.

" Ad, I need to talk with you first before you can see her. It's important! Please, follow me to my office. It's about her." Dr Feng tugged Adrian's arm, urging him to follow. The desperate man look at the door, the only barrier between him and Layla. With one push, he can see her again. He struggled but finally gave up. He slowly follows Dr Feng, reluctantly to separate from his wife.

In Dr Feng's office, the two men looking at each other. The atmosphere was too tense.

" Losing her memory?" Adrian's expression turned blank. The blow from the news was heavier than a mountain.

" Yes. I asked her several questions, but the only thing she remembered was her time in her 18 years old in the past. Her at present was too different from before. She completely doesn't remember you or the marriage times with you."

" She's quite aggressive at this moment. She almost turned the hospital upside down when she knew about her 'early' marriage time. If I'm not giving her a sedative, I guarantee that she would escape from the hospital." Dr Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead, feeling headache.

" What more, she looks for her foster parent. She even asked me to call them with an old number! I tried but failed to reach them out." Dr Feng put down a piece of paper on the table before pushing it towards Adrian.

Adrian reached out, picking up the paper. An overseas number.

" Ad, your wife...is she an orphan? To be honest, I couldn't find any information about her past. Do you know her before?" Dr Feng asked questions that lingered inside his mind in this past two years. Adrian stood up.

" You don't need to check about her background or her past. Yes, I know her. I'm going. She's waiting for me," Adrian went out of the office, leaving the annoyed Feng Jun alone.

" Pst! A man in love is so annoying! Hmph! Let you eat some grieves first before I help you later." Dr Feng flip opens a file that needs his attention.
