Chapter 337 - Yue Yan (1/2)

”Come down to the hospital”

” Try to identify her'

”The police are trying to solve the case”

”It's been a cold case”

”Asking for you”

”She identified you by name and gave us your contact name”

”Her name is Yue ”

”Yue Yan”

”Trauma of the accident”

”Amnesia”

”Awake”

Lei Zhao couldn't help the low hum of shock that threatened to shake him physically.

In his mind, snippets of conversation whirled around, teasing him with a thousand scenarios, every one worse than the last but also tinged with a suffocating level of anticipation and hope.

”Calm down” he scolded himself, his voice purposefully harsh but it didn't do much to calm him down. Hope was such a terrible drug to be mixed up in.

Preoccupied with his thoughts, he was startled by the soft, ”you may see her now”

Lei Zhao clambered to his feet gracelessly to find a tall lady wearing scrubs regarding him with a rueful and understanding smile. ”Sorry to startle you”

”It's nothing” Lei Zhao deflected, anticipatory nerves making his words shaky ”lost in my thoughts, it doesn't take much doing”

”The doctor is done with her now, let me lead you to her room” the nurse replied

”Thank you” Lei Zhao returned, but he was talking to thin air. The scrubs wearing nurse had already slipped out of the room and was heading away through the corridor at a measured but fast clip, Lei Zhao followed hot on her heels, unwilling to lose sight of her

The smell of the hospital around him brought back several memories, many of which he didn't want to experience again. He clenched his fist against the onslaught, breathing through his mouth trying to dilute the burn of antiseptic in his nose.
