6 Story from the past 4

Due to overexertion, she felt extremely weak. She laid back on the bed and closed her eyes. Slowly she heard the voices around her fading away.

After a few hours, she slowly opened her eyes. She could see two people standing in the room.

" Ms. Wu must have gone to sleep again due to exhaustion. Even though she woke up, her body is still weak, it may take some time.", The person in the white coat said

The other person was completely dressed in black. He slowly turned his head and asked " Would there be any other complications?"

" From the observations made, as I said before, due to the damage caused to the brain, she may have a temporary or permanent memory loss"

"Memory loss? "

"Yes, Young Master. It seems that she does not remember anything."

"Mmm. I will figure out if she has really lost her memory or not. Thank you, doctor"

"You are welcome, Young Master." The person in the white coat said and left the room.

The person in black was none other than Mu Yushen.

He turned to look at the girl in the bed. She was staring at him as well. Their eyes met. They stared at each other for a while before the former withdrew his gaze. He made his way towards her.

" How are you feeling now?" Mu Yushen asked.

No response. She stared at him curiously.

Mu Yushen felt a little irritated at getting no response. Thinking that she had only woken up from a coma a few hours back, he tried to maintain his composure.

He then raised his hand to touch her cheeks. He felt a stinging pain on his hands as they were slapped away.

Mu Yushen was surprised at this gesture. ' Maybe she has not lost her memory', he thought.

"Who are you?" the girl asked in her native language.

' Is she acting? She must have heard the doctor's words. I will just play along. Let's see if it is just an act' Mu Yushen sneered in his mind.

"You don't know me?" He asked back in the same language.

The girl shook her head as an answer.

" Baby, I am your Husband," he said flashing his devilish smile.

The girl seemed to be mesmerized by his smile. After a few minutes, she asked, " What is the husband?"

Mu Yushen felt like vomiting blood, but he replied. " Husband means life partner"

" Oh! "

" Then who am I?"

"You are my lovely wife!" he answered with a forced smile.

" My name is a lovely wife?" the girl continued with a friend.

" No, a wife is the female gender of husband. Your name is Wu Nian ". Galen answered with a little frustration.

" oh ". She said and seemed to be deep in thought, trying to process the information.

' Did this girl lose her intelligence along with her memory?' the mere thought gave him a headache.

But he continued, " About three years back we got married. After some months you got into an accident and fell into a coma. I have been waiting for you to wake up since then "

The girl looked at him in utter shock. According to the calendar from her time two years meant 36 months, each of which contained 90 days of 45 hours. It was really long duration.
