She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Uncontrollable Sickness in the Heart Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Uncontrollable Sickness in the Heart Suddenly, there was a noise at the entrance, and both instinctively looked over.

Mu Lan saw Shen Ying standing there and lost any desire to hear Huo Tingxiao continue to explain.

“Mom!”

“What did you just say about… amnesia, what do you mean?”

Shen Ying tried to make herself calm, but as soon as she spoke, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

“No, we were just…”

Mu Lan wanted to explain, but Shen Ying suddenly fainted, frightening her into a sharp scream.

“Mom!”

Huo Tingxiao reacted quickly, first checking her pulse, then pressing the acupoint known as Renzhong.

“Call Shen Zichu to send an ambulance.”

With trembling hands, Mu Lan phoned Shen Zichu. While waiting for the ambulance, Huo Tingxiao provided first aid, helping Shen Ying gradually regain consciousness.

When the doctor arrived, Shen Ying was swiftly carried into the ambulance, with Mu Lan shaking like a sieve.

“Mom, don’t scare me, don’t scare me.”

Shen Ying, weak and wearing an oxygen mask, felt her whole body floating.

Mu Lan held her hand tightly while she softly comforted:
“Lanlan, don’t be afraid, I’m fine, it’s fine…”

Huo Tingxiao hugged Mu Lan tightly.

“It’s fine, I’m here.”

Mu Lan gradually calmed down. By the time the ambulance reached the hospital, Shen Zichu was desperately waiting for them to head to the emergency room.

“Oh, you two better not go in.”

Glancing at Mu Lan in her home clothes, Shen Zichu raised an eyebrow. Huo Tingxiao did not wait for him to signal discreetly before draping his jacket over her shoulders.

“What’s going on, how did you end up making the elder go to the hospital?”

“We were talking in the living room and accidentally let slip about Mu Lan’s memory loss.”

Huo Tingxiao briefly explained, and Shen Zichu sighed.

“Don’t worry, the doctors in the ER are very competent.”

Shen Zichu patted Huo Tingxiao on the shoulder, giving him a look that clearly signaled him to comfort Mu Lan well.

With tears in her eyes, Mu Lan was full of regret.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have come home. I’ve already lost my dad; I can’t lose her too.

How did it turn out like this? It’s all my fault, all my fault.

Whoo, whoo, whoo…”

As she spoke, Mu Lan couldn’t control the tears from falling.

Seeing Mu Lan cry like this, Huo Tingxiao’s heart broke as if he were minced stuffing. He regretted not going to pick her up from Gu Xiaoman’s place earlier, which would have prevented these subsequent events.

Or maybe at the moment they argued, he should have told her his true feelings instead of presuming, as usual.

“It’s okay, mom will be all right.”

“Huo Tingxiao, you don’t understand, my mom has always been like this, she never complains about her suffering, she just silently does everything for me, never letting anyone know she’s hurting.

I’m truly unfilial, worrying her so much. After dad left, she was the one who was most heartbroken. I’m already an adult, why am I so reckless.

I shouldn’t have come home, I shouldn’t have come home…”

Caught in a maelstrom of self-blame, Mu Lan couldn’t see a way out, and Huo Tingxiao didn’t know how to comfort her, only holding her close, letting her know he was there with her.

Soon, the doctors came out.

“The patient just had a temporary insufficient blood supply to the brain, it’s nothing serious, don’t worry.

A few days of rest should suffice. Who performed the first aid before you came? It was very timely, and their emergency response was excellent.”

Mu Lan looked towards Huo Tingxiao. At that moment, all she could do was tremble, had it not been for Huo Tingxiao… Mu Lan didn’t dare to think what might have happened.

“Thank you, doctor.”

“Don’t say that; it’s what we’re supposed to do.”

Mu Lan walked into the hospital room and looked at Shen Ying, who had awakened and regained consciousness.

“Mom, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Shen Ying sighed and reached out to hold Mu Lan’s hand.

“I’m not feeling uncomfortable. Rather, it’s you, my child, why are you being so rash? What’s going on with you? Memory loss? What happened to you?”

Tears uncontrollably streamed down Mu Lan’s face. Even at this moment, Shen Ying’s thoughts were still centered on her.

“Mom, I’m fine. I just accidentally forgot everything about Huo Tingxiao.

My current memory stops on the day of the college entrance exam, and I somehow forgot everything about the past seven years.

I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry.

Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me, making you worry.”

Shen Ying looked at Mu Lan, who was crying like a tear-stained figure, and reached out to wipe her tears.

“My child, hiding such a big matter from me? Why didn’t you speak up sooner?

I must say, I’m quite bad at being a mother for not realizing something was wrong with you.

I was wondering why you suddenly became as lively as you used to be, I thought…

It turns out it’s because you lost your memory. Ah, blame it on mom for not being observant.

Lanlan, don’t cry, it’s not your fault.”

Hearing this, Mu Lan felt even more heartbroken.

“Mom, you really scared me today. Having suddenly lost Dad, I was already very upset; I really can’t lose you too.

You’ve got to take good care of yourself even if it’s just for my sake.

The doctor said it was just a sudden insufficiency of blood supply to the brain that made you faint.

We’ll arrange a comprehensive checkup for you tomorrow.”

Watching Mu Lan’s incessant chatter, Shen Ying suddenly laughed.

“Little girl, seeing you like this, I’m somehow reminded of the past.

Thinking back to your carefree high school days, I really wish you could always remain as innocent and carefree.”

Mu Lan playfully clung to Shen Ying’s palm.

“Mom, get well soon. I’ll remain carefree.

Actually, Huo Tingxiao and I just had a fight. Look, he even came to our house to apologize. After losing my memory, my temper hasn’t been great, but he still accommodates me.

It’s just me throwing a tantrum, so don’t worry.”

Hearing these words, Huo Tingxiao felt an uncontrollable acid surge in his heart.

He wanted Mu Lan to stay by his side, but… he didn’t want her to say these insincere words just to put Shen Ying at ease.

It was always him not doing well enough, yet she took all the blame onto herself.

“Mom, it’s me who made Lanlan suffer. Whatever you want to scold or punish me, it’s fine.

But please take care of yourself, Lanlan cares about you the most.

And I… now care the most about Lanlan.

So, please allow me this selfish request to take good care of yourself.”

Shen Ying looked at Huo Tingxiao and had to admit, his words had indeed comforted her deeply.

The usually stoic son-in-law had managed to overturn her previous impressions today.

“So, what exactly was the cause of this quarrel you two had?”

Huo Tingxiao was about to speak, but Mu Lan interrupted him first.

“It was because I was being unnecessarily jealous and misunderstood him. Actually, I know he’s faithful; I just wanted to throw a tantrum to make him pamper me.”

Shen Ying turned to Huo Tingxiao and asked,
“Is that so?”
