Chapter 032
Xiao woke up in a calmer state as she noticed the throbbing of head had already faded away. She then remembered she was in the infirmary as soon as she moved her eyes around. She didn’t realize she was able to sleep for hours; surely the medicines provided by the nurse offered a great help as felt way better than before.
“What are you feeling now? Better?” the nurse greeted her with a smile, which Xiao returned the same.
“Yes, thank you so much,” she replied with a genuine gratitude.
“Do not pressure nor overwork yourself. It can affect your body tremendously,” the nurse reprimanded, “I have noticed that your body has been weakened due to optimal usage. I think you have been practicing a lot, yet you didn't take proper care alongside getting enough sleep and by eating on time. I am giving you a warning now; you have to change your ways otherwise you won’t be able to perform well during your competition.”
“I’ll tak
Chapter 033“Xiao! Wait up!” he called out before he smiled shyly at the nurse, “We’re going, thank you once again,” he said while holding a tight grip on Xiao’s backpack before he finally headed out of the infirmary as he started chasing Xiao who was already in a far distance.When he finally caught up to her pace, which he slightly used up his stamina, he was already catching up his breath.“Xiao, you just left. You didn’t thank Ms. Nurse,” he started to say while walking beside her.“I already did,” she replied without glancing at the lad.“Oh, then why you ignored me back there? You just walked past through me.”“I have to hurry home, what’s the matter?”“Oh, okay, I’m sorry.”“Give me my backpack, Jun,” she suddenly blurted out as she stopped from her tracks, “you don’t have to walk me t
Chapter 034It was Yamato’s blabbering that greeted Xiao as soon as she walked past through the door, making her feel the pain of her head that should have been long gone. He was too nosy for her to take in.“I got a call from your school. We should go to the hospital.”“Dad, there’s no need,” she grunted, “I’m totally okay now.”“Then, I’ll call Mr. Kikuchi for him to come here,” her father’s voice was so adamant.“Dad, don’t bother a busy person!”“What? You need instant consultation, Xiao Lee!” she was taken a back when her father called out her full name. It rarely happens, and if it does, it means he’s truly aggravated. Back then when she’s still young, it would make her knees numb. It has been so long for her to hear him call out her full name once again. It never did happen anymore when her mother had already left th
Chapter 035The next day, Xiao just found herself being asleep for a long time. She waited last night for Mr. Kikuchi to take his leave as she wanted to talk to her father, but it seems like she has fallen to drowsiness while she was waiting.Today’s a weekend; marking the last three weeks of her high school life. After that, she’s still undecided whether to attend college right away, or to take part of the family’s business for a while. It’s not because she’s afraid, but for her, she’s not yet ready. Aside from that, the business field is just something that’s out of her league. She might as well talk to her father about this matter as time has already come.Xiao removed the blanket sheets away from her body, as she stood up from the bed, taking some few stretching on the go before she went inside the comfort room. She took a brisk shower and readied herself for a quick makeover. She didn’t bother herself anymore
Chapter 036Orange, pink and purple were mixing its hues across the ethers. It was the sky—breathtakingly beautiful as it is, a picturesque no one could ever bargain with. A smile escaped Xiao’s lips as soon as she witnessed the scene where the sun was slowly hiding beneath the horizons, making its brisk disappearance. The young child couldn’t even take her eyes off from the panorama, as it was constantly devouring her attention away, making her to be captivated with the view immensely. Albeit her young physique, at the age of seven, she was completely beguiled with the scenery to the point she could give many descriptions of it, unlike any other kids that couldn’t.“Xiao!” a voice interrupted her reverie, but she didn’t look at whom it was, as she continued marvelling upon the horizons blasted with vibrant colours as they reflected upon the transparent waters of the ocean. Seemingly enough, she was enthralled to the point she
Chapter 037Mr. Wilson’s mouth dropped as soon as his assumptions were proven when the doctor said it was definitely dissociative amnesia. His mind went lost for a while as the doctor keeps on talking. He couldn’t even catch up to what he was saying as ‘amnesia’ was the only one that registered in his mind.“Don’t worry, we’re trying our best. We also contacted our other psychologists and psychiatrists to study the case further. I’m still not sure about this, but the probability is high for her memories to come back once a trigger could pull off.”Mr. Wilson’s face lit up, “You mean it’s not permanent?”“Not yet confirmed as of now. We’re still conducting further study about it.”“Please, doctor. Do everything to make her memories back. You said a trigger, right? What could that be?” Mr. Wilson asked, almost pleading for information.&
Chapter 038The next day when Xiao woke up, Mr. Wilson was already in the room as he was preparing the dishes right in front of her. Xiao smiled upon the sight of her favourite food: fried chicken. She could really say yes to everything when it comes to chicken.“You seemed to be so early in visiting,” Xiao commented as soon as the latter placed the Fifisea bamboo bed tray table with its foldable legs on top of the bed sheets. For breakfast serving while making her thighs to be squished together, she has to take the food while she’s on the bed.“Yes. I personally asked Qin and Xinyang to cook your favourite, so I could get in here earlier than expected. Good thing I did.”“And who are those people?” Xiao queried nonchalantly. Mr. Wilson still couldn’t believe it that a day would come where he has to explain who’s who and what’s their relationship with them.“This is kinda stressful.
Chapter 039It took about three days in total before Xiao was freed from the hospital. It was really a good thing that the intervention did good for her mind and memory. She was able to remember a few things in a slow manner. She could start recalling Qin and Xinyang as her most loyal servants. But sad to say, she still couldn’t remember Mr. Wilson’s whereabouts and even her parents and grandparents.But even though things weren’t actually that in favour towards her, she’s still thankful. Beyond grateful, actually.“We can try for you to look at some pictures of your mother if you could recall her.”It was part of the intervention for the doctors to show some pictures of her family. After doing so, she could only recall Qin and Xinyang when she looked at the. most recent pictures of them together. For her mother, the pictures were already too old for her to remember, so in the part, it wasn’t such a success. But t
Chapter 040Today would be the most intriguing day for Xiao, just like what she would’ve concluded, as she sighed upon the sight of the university’s campus premises. She couldn’t stop herself from biting her lips as she constantly breathed in and out the moment the car had stopped right in front of its entrance. Mr. Wilson had faced her nervous self with a chuckle as he also couldn’t stop himself from doing so, “You really reminded me of my sister. When she firstly attended the university, she was as nervous as you are right now,” he chuckled, reminiscing.“I am more nervous than I firstly attended university, Mr. Wilson. I feel like I’m about to die at any moment due to severe nervousness I am feeling right now.”“Don’t be way too exaggerated, Lady Xiao!” he chuckled again before he unbuckled his seat belts which Xiao followed suit. He firstly walked out from the car as he instantly took a
