Chapter 321: Chapter 320 Who Are You Exactly (20)
She woke up.
Because she couldn’t see, her other senses became extremely sensitive. Even the slightest movement could be perceived. Just a moment ago, he was lost in memories, hence he didn’t notice right away. But now...
He could clearly sense her change in breathing—it wasn’t the even, long breaths of someone in deep sleep, but slightly hurried, though she was trying hard to suppress it.
Who would avoid him? Only Dong Xin Yan, right?
So, it’s Dong Xin Yan, right?
Suddenly, a strong impulse surged within him. He wanted to speak, to ask, "Is it you, Dong Xin Yan?"
The one taking care of him now was her, and the one who took care of him back then was also her, wasn’t it?
But...
If she was the one from back then, why did she lie to him? Why did she not remember him? Why does she... hate him?
Back then, she clearly... didn’t hate him, did she?
Back then, she clearly... had feelings for him, didn’t she?
The sweeter the memory, the more bitter reality becomes. Every time he recalls the past, his heart begins to waver uncontrollably, starting to be unsure, starting to feel lost.
If she was the girl from back then, he would have a reason to approach her again. But if she wasn’t, how should he approach her?
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them.
It’s like he still wanted to hide, that humble, tiny fragment of hope, carefully keeping it secret.

These days, Zhou Yalin had been continuously searching for Gu Ningyi, almost calling him every day, visiting the Gu Group every day, yet each time, the phone was off and he wasn’t at the company.
At first, she suspected that Gu Ningyi was deliberately avoiding her. However, after she asked around among her friends in the circle, everyone said they hadn’t seen Gu Ningyi. Eventually, even Mrs. Gu couldn’t reach him, so she gradually began to worry if something had happened to Gu Ningyi.
The only person who could clearly understand Gu Ningyi’s situation was undoubtedly Yuan Shen, but Yuan Shen and Gu Ningyi were brothers, and there was no way for her to pry open his mouth, except to ask Yuan Shi for help.
Upon hearing that Gu Ningyi couldn’t be reached, Yuan Shi also became very anxious. But she knew her brother very well—he would never betray his brother no matter what, even if it was his own sister. So, as Yuan Shi was contemplating what to do, she suddenly heard that Doctor Zhao had returned to the country.
Doctor Zhao was the doctor who had operated on Gu Ningyi back then.
He had already retired and had been living abroad. It was impossible for him to return to the country unless it was something important.
At that moment, she immediately thought of Gu Ningyi. Could it be that something was wrong with his eyes?
She quickly used her connections to check the VIP inpatient records of major hospitals, and sure enough, she found the hospital where Gu Ningyi was. Then, she immediately called Zhou Yalin.
Upon receiving the call, Zhou Yalin’s face turned pale. She was no longer concerned with being angry and immediately asked her driver to prepare the car to go to the hospital.

Dong Xin Yan was anxiously wide awake all night, afraid that if she fell into a deep sleep, Gu Ningyi would come over again to touch her face, trying to recognize who she was.
So, she only dozed off as dawn was breaking, and when she woke up, it was already midday.
She blinked, dazed in bed for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up with a start.
Oh no, she was supposed to accompany Gu Ningyi for a check-up this morning, how could she... oversleep till now?
Is he going to be angry?
Instinctively, she looked up towards Gu Ningyi’s side, only to find the ward empty—he wasn’t in the room.
Did he go by himself?
While she was in a daze, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open...
