Chapter 1164 - Such a Large Cat (2in1) (2/2)

The white cat titled its head to study Chen Ge for a long time when suddenly a trace of cunningness crossed its eyes. It suddenly leaped into the air and waved its paw to smack Chen Geon the back of his head. Then as if worried of revenge from Chen Ge, it quickly slithered away as fast as it could. Sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Ge was stunned. He held the back of his head and said, “What the, I am already 26 but I was just whacked on the back of my head by a fucking cat?”

The white cat hid inside the bush that was several metres away watching Chen Ge, the confusion in its eyes grew even deeper.

“if not for the plaster on my feet, I would show you.” The drowsiness that came to Chen Ge due to the medication had disappeared completely. He felt weirdly energized now. Looking at the white cat hiding in the bush, there was a strange familiarity with it but it did not go further than that. There was no memory about any cat in his fragmented past. Be it in his illusioned stories or in real life, this white cat did not seem to exist in either of them. In other words, the memory fragments in his mind were only related to people but there was none that was related to any cat. After hearing the threat from Chen Ge, the white cat was not only not afraid, it ran back towards him.

“Well, I have to give you some merit for your courage.” Chen Ge looked into the white cat’s pair of confused eyes. He too thought this was quite strange, because the cat appeared to recognize him. “Are you a stray that I have kept before my car accident? Or I often come here to feed you food when I was hospitalized?” The white cat did not know how to speak. After it realized Chen Ge really failed to recognize it, the light in its eyes dimmed. It bounced around Chen Ge and kept using its head to brush against Chen Ge’s calf.

“Stop doing that, you are pushing so hard. The plaster might break if you continue to do that.” Chen Ge picked up the white cat and placed it on his knees. Looking at the white cat’s dual colored eyes, the sense of familiarity only continued to grow but nothing concrete came to him. Perhaps it sensed something was wrong with Chen Ge, the white cat kept meowing and it went as far as biting Chen Ge on the bottom of his pants as if it was trying to drag Chen Ge to some hidden location. Holding the crutches, Chen Ge stood up and followed the white cat deeper into the hospital. They walked through the entire garden until they reached the fence of the hospital. On the other side of the road was the western side of Xin Hai theme park, the white cat crawled out through the gap in the fences and then turned back to look at Chen Ge.

“You want me to leave with you? You wish for me to leave this hospital?” Chen Ge looked at the fence that was 2 metres tall and then he shook his head. Currently his body was very weak and one of his legs was wrapped in plaster. He had difficulty walking much less climb over a fence that was 2 metres tall. Seeing Chen Ge was about to turn back, the white cat crawled back in, it bit on the bottom of Chen Ge’s pants and refused to let go. About 5 minutes later, when the sound of footsteps came from down the distance, the white cat finally let of and escaped through the gap in the fence again.

“Chen Ge? What are you doing here?” Doctor Gao appeared behind Chen Ge.

“I just wanted to come to look at the theme park closer. Perhaps if I am lucky, I might chance a look at her.” The anticipation was clear in Chen Ge’s eyes. His reason was absolutely solid and it did not appear that Doctor Gao suspect anything else.

“It is about time we return to your room.”

“Okay.” Chen Ge followed behind Doctor Gao. After he took a few steps, he turned back to glance at the fence again. The cat was hiding inside the bushes outside the fence, half of its head was poking out and its dual colored eyes were following Chen Ge closely. When he returned to the room, Chen Ge saw that Zuo Han was still lying on his bed in his bed, even his pose did not change since the last time he left.

“Did you not go for lunch?” Chen Ge felt like perhaps he was born a kind person. Even if he had lost part of his memory, he would instinctually show kindness towards others.

“I am not hungry.” Zuo Han sat up in bed and opened the door for a gap. After ensuring there was no one else outside the door, he sighed in relief. “Where did the doctor take you this morning? Did he conduct some hypnosis on you? Or he has force fed you some other medication?”

“We just went for a sit at the garden. In the middle of it, Doctor Gao had to leave in a hurry because something else happened.” Chen Ge sat down in his bed and then he said in a smile. “Oh right, something very interesting happened to me today. There is a stray inside this hospital, it appears to like me a lot. It sticks to me like it was my pet.”

“Stray cats are usually highly alert, they will not show affection to any random stranger, perhaps that cat is really somehow related to you.” Zuo Han opened the zipper on the back of the pillow and took out several pieces of paper, there appeared to be many things written on them. “Sometimes animals are much more reliable than people because they do not have complicated emotions and most of the time, they are acting out of pure instinct.”

“But I have no memory of that cat at all, or to be more precise, all the memories that I have are in fragments and whenever I try to think about the past, my brain would be assaulted by intense headache.” Chen Ge’s words resonated with Zuo Han. He put down the pillow and silently walked towards Chen Ge. “You are in the same condition as I am. Even though I have not lost any of my memory, I realize there are many logical inconsistencies with them!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It means that someone has messed with my memory, god damn it! I am very familiar with this feeling but I do not know why!” Zuo Han hissed through his teeth. “There are more than a fair of contradictory details in my memory. Perhaps the person who tempered with my memory thought this was the first time this had happened to me so they were not too cautious, they had no idea that I would suspect my own memory as well!”

“Brother, even though your various symptoms are indeed very similar to paranoia, but I still think you are one hell of an impressive person.” Chen Ge could sense the special presence radiating off Zuo Han. Compared to Zuo Han, he felt much too plebian.

“That is where you are wrong. I have gone around to ask some questions, those kind of white pills are not meant for any person. The doctors will only use them in powdered form when some of the patients are acting up, but in your case? You have to take them 3 times a day and 2 pills each time! I suspect this hospital is trying to kill you through over medication!” the way Zuo Han looked at Chen Ge was filled with caution.

“I think you are stretching a bit there.”

“Never mind, just consider it a warning. Other than that, you have to be careful about this too. Better keep your voices to yourself in the morning, the walls have ears.” Zuo Han said and then returned to his bed. He still did not remove his shoes like he was ready to escape at any moment.

After lunch, Chen Ge had a counselling session with Doctor Gao in the afternoon. Being fed the pills multiple times, his illness did not surface anymore. A peaceful and beautiful day ended just like that, the sky started to darken down the horizon. After taking the medication, Chen Ge soon slumbered into his sleep. At around midnight, he was shaken away awake by Zuo Han.

“What’s wrong?”

“Shush.” Zuo Han pointed at the room door and signaled for Chen Ge to pay attention to his sense of hearing. Leaning on the door, Chen Ge perked up his ears to listen. He could hear the wailing of a man from down the corridor, he appeared to be repeating the same word—ghost.

“Zhang Jingjiu?”

“Do you know him?”

“I have seen him once in the morning, he was grabbing my hands and shouting ghost, ghost, ghost at me.” Chen Ge told the incident in the morning to Zuo Han.

“It is obvious that he is in extreme pain, the hospital is clearly torturing him using some kind of method.” Zuo Han frowned. “The hospital will not torture him for no reason, it must be that he has made some mistake.”

After that Zuo han turned to look at Chen Ge. “Could it be that he has leaked the secret to you? This whole hospital is really filled with ghosts?”
