She's a bunny now

~ Present day ~

Lina woke up relaxed and well rested. It was almost 11 am, but she'd needed the sleep. She remembered the nightmare and her heart felt heavy.

But she'd slept well after. Shen held her until she fell asleep again and she didn't see the troubling images again.

As she rolled under the warm sheets lazily, her eyes fell on the angelic face of her husband sitting at her bedside with even more documents than she'd seen on his desk in the study!

It looked like Shen had already showered and was wearing a soft grey sweater. His reading glasses made him look older and his serious expression was endearing. Lina smiled to herself, revelling in his charm and beauty.

Feeling her intense gaze on him, Shen looked up to see her starstruck face. His serious eyes turned warm.

"Good morning, angel. Did you sleep alright?"

Lina sat up and yawned.

"Mm hmm. I did!" she looked better, even though she was still weak.

"There's a lot to do today. But first, you need to get dressed and have breakfast. Then the doctor will be here for a full body check up."

Lina frowned. A full body check up? How tiresome! She wanted to check out this beautiful mansion and go out to the gardens.

"I know that look. You can't play until the check up is completed, clear?"

When did hubby get so stern!

Lina huffed and got up to shower and changed for breakfast. At least there was food!

************

After the warm, relaxing shower, Lina got into a cute, pink, knitted dress and joined Shen downstairs for breakfast. He'd still insisted on her not walking down flights of stairs so she'd still been carried down.

The dining room was beautifully and tastefully decorated with a massive table in the centre. The chandeliers were old and graceful, and there was a lot of light through the big windows. It was quite chilly outside, even though the sun was shining brightly. Shen had put big fluffy socks on her feet to prevent her from catching a cold.

Lina looked fresh and stunning. He face had gained some colour and her lips looked brighter. Her beautiful small features and soft brown hair her made her seem extra delicate.

Two maids blushed, trying not to stare at the madam. It had been 3 months since they'd seen her after all -- but she was always so beautiful, it took their breath away!

Housekeeper Tan smiled to herself as she whispered to the Butler

"Butler Min, Madam's a bunny again, isn't she?"

Butler Min had a complicated expression on his face. She was suddenly a lot like the shy and sweet girl the young master had brought home when they first got married 8 months ago. But she had transformed into a confident and upright lady. Now she looked so lost again.

Lina's face brightened even more when she saw the delicious spread on the massive table. She still remembered what the foods were, and could still go about regular life without stumbling. She just didn't recognise people and places or remember her identity or past.

There were fried eggs and yoghurts. The smell of freshly toasted bread lured her to the table. As she sat down and took a sip of the cappuccino, she felt more awake than ever. The fruits were fresh and sweet.

"It's all your favourites, angel. Fried eggs and toast, cappuccino, strawberries. Are you enjoying breakfast?" Shen looked at his bunny wife lovingly.

She nodded adorably, with a foam moustache on her lip from the cappuccino.

Shen reached out and wiped the foam off her lip with his finger and then instinctively licked it. Lina noticed this and looked down silently and blushed.

'He's so familiar with me!' she thought. But she liked it. She felt a warm feeling floating up to her chest.

Shen noticed her awkward, yet sweet expression and held back a laugh.

After having satisfied her stomach, she was notified that the doctor would be arriving soon.

Shen was taking important calls from work and was in the study. She wasn't allowed to exert herself so she went back to the bedroom and decided to familiarise herself with the belongings. She wanted to see what their life was like.

She opened a small drawer underneath her closet and found a large photo album. As she opened it and began flipping through, she realised the pictures were her life with Shen for the last 9 months she had known him.

The early pictures were cute and awkward. One of them was at a small, but empty coffee shop. She was staring out of the window with a cappuccino in hand. Shen had taken that picture of her. There was a label underneath.

'23rd February. First date.'

Another photo was taken of them at a hike somewhere hilly and green. They were both wearing outdoor gear. Shen looked like he was laughing at something she said, holding on to her tightly.

'4th March. Hike to the Tiger's Nest and Monastery.'

As she flipped further along, she found a selfie of him asleep, wrapped in her arms on the sofa. She was making a silly face into the camera.

'18th June. At home. Hubby fell asleep.'

There were so many memories. But there never seemed to be anyone else around. Lina was confused. Since she'd woken up, the only people she came in contact with were Shen and his employees.

'What about my own life?' she pondered to herself.

Lina snapped out of her thoughts as the bedroom phone rang.

"Hello?"

It was Butler Min.

"Madam, the doctor is here for you. I have informed young master in the study as well. We are sending him upstairs to you."

"Okay, thank you Butler Min!"

As she put the phone down, Shen came into the bedroom.

"Sweetheart come with me."

Lina looked confused.

"Where? Isn't the doctor coming up here for my check up?"

"Not here, my silly wife. Who does a full body check up in a bedroom!"

Lina looked annoyed at him. Who's he calling silly!

Still she allowed him to bring her to another wing on the same floor as their bedroom. There was an elaborately set up clinic within this mansion! Wow, her husband really was someone important to have the capital's best doctor come to personally give her a check up at their own home clinic!

As she stepped in, arm in arm with Shen, her eyes fell on an older man. He was tall and thin, and had a stern looking face.

'He must be this great doctor who's supposed to treat me.' Lina thought.

Right behind him, stood a younger, very good-looking man. He had short hair, strong features and and understated sharpness in his eyes.

Suddenly, Lina doubled back in shock. She froze in her spot, unable to speak as her eyes met the young man's.
