Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 163 - 161: Splashed With Strong Acid

After speaking, Huo Zhenyang’s gaze half narrowed and he tensed slightly.

Fortunately, this little guy wasn’t sprayed with strong acid, otherwise, even personally strangling Ye Shiman would do nothing to quell the rage.

Strong acid? The liquid in the cola bottle was strong acid? Was Su Yan’s back splashed with strong acid?

Miss Jiayi’s face turned even paler, "Even if there’s nothing wrong, I still want to go see her."

How could she, looking so frail, visit someone else?

Huo Zhenyang’s expression darkened as he pushed her back under the covers, "I’ll have Lin Zixun call and have Su Yan transferred here. The doctors and equipment at this hospital are both advanced and comprehensive, she won’t have any trouble, and you will be able view her easily."

Only then did Jiayi breathe a sigh of relief. Just at that moment, a doctor in a white coat hurried in with a nurse.

This was Jiayi’s attending physician, Dr. Fang, who was also the head of the neurology department at St. Mary Hospital. After entering, he first conducted a checkup, then reviewed the medical device recordings, and finally turned to Huo Zhenyang, "Mr. Huo, rest assured, Miss Qin is temporarily fine. She’s just shaken, and resting for a few more days should do her well."

Jiayi hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something to Dr. Fang but also somewhat afraid, glancing at the man beside her.

Huo Zhenyang understood what she wanted to ask but said nothing.

Seeing that he didn’t stop her, Jiayi finally spoke up, voicing the doubt that was in her heart, "Dr. Fang, I’ve lost my memory before, and I can’t remember anything. But whenever I fall from a high place or stand somewhere very high, some fragments from before my memory loss flash through my mind. What could be the reason for this? I want to know if there’s a way that could help me remember more?"

Jiayi had been checked thoroughly when she came into the hospital, and Dr. Fang routinely asked if the patient had any previous conditions.

Huo Zhenyang had informed Dr. Fang about her amnesia.

After contemplating for a while, Dr. Fang said, "In layman’s terms, the human body has an emergency switch which means that in a critical moment, a person might unleash some latent potential. Similarly, the brain is the most complex organ in the human body and can discharge some otherwise inaccessible energy when in danger. You lost your memory temporarily because when you fell down from the mountain, you just hit the memory switch. So usually, no matter how hard you try, you can’t recall anything and attempting to remember might even give you an unbearable headache. But when you fall from a high place, it resembles the scene of when you fell from the cliff, and it can trigger the energy in your brain—your memory."

Jiayi pondered for a moment, probing, "So, Dr. Fang, are you saying if I fall from a high place again, I might remember more?"

Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed, wondering what this little thing was thinking. Was she considering such a dangerous act again?

To recall the past, was she disregarding her own life?

He decisively interrupted their conversation, "That’s enough, rest now."

Dr. Fang, sensing the displeasure in Mr. Huo’s expression, added, "Then, Miss Qin, you should focus on recuperating."

"Dr. Fang—" As the doctor was leaving the ward, Jiayi sat up intending to call out to him, but the man took a large step forward with a stern look. Seeing that this little one was completely enveloped in the blanket, he gestured with his eyes for her to sleep and rest.

"I, I can’t sleep right now. I want to go and ask Dr. Fang more thoroughly, just for a moment," the little one weakly protested.

"Can’t sleep? I’ll come up and keep you company," the man responded without hesitation, ready to climb into the bed with a flip of his body.

She was startled and promptly pushed him away, "Alright, I feel like sleeping now."

Under threat, Jiayi obediently shrank back under the covers, hiding half her face within, only her eyes watching the man beside the bed, her small hands clutching the edge of the blanket, revealing tender pink fingernails, afraid he might climb into bed to accompany her.

The memory of her video call with him on New Year’s Eve also surfaced inappropriately in her mind... her face immediately began to burn fiercely.

Having not seen her for so long, he desperately wanted to hold her all night long, to breathe in the sweet fragrance of her that he had missed for so long.

But she needed to rest.

And he, too, needed to take care of the aftermath.

He stood up, his eyes half-closed, rubbed her little head, and left the hospital room.

As the door of the hospital room gently closed with a soft click, the tenderness on Huo Zhenyang’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling sternness that began to rise in his eyebrows.

At the end of the corridor of the high-end ward, two men had been waiting for quite a while; upon seeing Huo Zhenyang come out, they both approached him.

"Boss, is Miss Jiayi all right?" Lin Zixun hurriedly asked.

Huo Zhenyang looked indifferent and waved his hand lightly. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Lin Zixun felt a weight lift from his heart.

The bodyguard who had driven the Boss and Miss Jiayi over had been standing guard at the door of the hospital room. He suddenly bowed at a ninety-degree angle, "Boss, I have failed in my duty! I failed to watch over Miss Jiayi and almost let something happen to her! I’ve disappointed your trust!"

For a bodyguard, there was no greater shame than failing to protect the charge.

The bodyguard, seeing Huo Zhenyang’s grim face that seemed unforgiving, raised his hand towards the face of the man covered with a cold aura and began to slap himself across the face.

"Slap—Slap—Slap—"

Each slap followed another without mercy, the sound echoing down the entire corridor.

Lin Zixun, listening to this, felt somewhat uneasy—it was quite a harsh punishment, but since the Boss’s face was dark and he wasn’t speaking up, Lin dared not stop the bodyguard’s self-punishment and could only stand aside.

After a while, seeing a slight thaw in the coldness on the Boss’s face, Lin Zixun finally spoke, "Enough, this is a hospital. Slapping so loudly—are you afraid you won’t wake Miss Jiayi?"

The bodyguard’s face turned white, and he finally stopped his hand, but still bowed at ninety degrees, not daring to breathe.

Yet, in front of this man, a glint appeared in the eyes, exuding a chill, "How have things with Ye Shiman been handled?"

Lin Zixun nodded and reported, "She was taken to the police station just now, but I heard that her parents went there and got their daughter out on bail, planning to hire a lawyer for her defense."

Ye Shiman had broken into the university at night, thrown strong acid on a former classmate, and pushed another one down a flight of stairs, luckily without major injuries. This had constituted a serious criminal offense, and she was immediately handed over to the police station by the school.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Ye were furious, they still went to the police station upon hearing about the incident involving their daughter.

Out of concern, reason, and face, they couldn’t completely ignore their daughter; after posting bail and taking her home, they were now using connections overnight to see if they could clear their daughter’s name.

"Bail? Hiring a lawyer for defense?" Huo Zhenyang snorted coldly.

Just then, Lin Zixun’s work phone rang. After a few words, his expression became serious. He covered the phone and turned to Huo Zhenyang, "Boss, it’s Shangguan Xiong on the line. He says that Ye Shiman’s father approached him overnight, asking the Shangguan family for help so that Ye Shiman won’t have to go to jail."
