Chapter 22 Memory

He only heard the words "he jumped off the building".

Leaving the elevator, Jiang Mingyun saw Diana in the hospital corridor. The lights in the emergency room were like boiling water, pouring over her head and face.He was dressed in pajamas and slippers, and walked to her side as if he was sleepwalking.

"Don't be afraid, he has been conscious all the time, the third floor is not too high, and he fell among the flowers." Diana remained calm.

She patted his arm and repeated: "Don't be afraid, he is conscious, check inside where he fell."

With a pale face, Jiang Mingyun nodded belatedly, his eyes seemed to want to penetrate the glass in front of him, penetrate the blue curtain, and learn about the situation inside.

It was really lucky for Deng Luoyi to land among the flowers. If he had gone a few centimeters further, his head would have hit the stone pavement, blood and brains would fly together, and his death would be miserable.Sent to the hospital, after a set of physical examinations, miraculously, he only had a concussion and soft tissue contusion, plus a wound left by a sharp branch scratching the skin.

He didn't see Jiang Mingyun.

"Let him go!" He threw the glass water glass against the wall, emotionally, and his voice could be clearly heard outside the ward.

Jiang Mingyun stood guard outside the ward door all night, and did not leave during the day. When Sherley came to visit Deng Luoyi with flowers in her arms, she first greeted him awkwardly.

"Jiang, you're here too."

As a victim of the escaped marriage incident, of course she knew that Jiang Mingyun had taken Deng Luoyi away.

Jiang Mingyun glanced at her indifferently, but said nothing.She stepped into the ward, where the air conditioner made the temperature feel like winter. She touched the goose bumps on her arms, and looked at the bodyguards in suits and leather shoes with envy in her eyes.She is wearing a skirt and is not resistant to cold.

On the spacious and soft hospital bed, Deng Luoyi huddled under the quilt with his back to the door.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head alertly, and saw that it was Sherley who entered the door, his expression relaxed for a moment, and he showed a vague sense of loss.His eyes moved uncontrollably to Sherley's belly, and his whole body began to tense again.

A pink pleated dress hugged her swollen belly, and she handed the flowers to the closest bodyguard and walked slowly and gracefully to the bed.

Deng Luoyi propped up his upper body, and the bodyguard beside the bed supported his back and helped him put up the pillow.He was leaning against the head of the bed with bruises on his forehead.

"Are you okay?" Sherley said mildly.

Deng Luoyi looked away from her bloated abdomen, and asked in a low voice hesitantly: "The child...how many months?"

"My family is very angry." The conversation between the two was not on the same channel, and Sherley had thought out the lines in advance, "Roy, I don't understand why you escaped marriage, you embarrass me and my family... I thought about it for a long time , void the agreement between us, and I will announce the 'divorce' to the outside world in two days."

"But... you... child..."

This is of course the best ending, but what to do with the child in her womb?

"Stupid, it's not my child. Why are you asking so much? Isn't it embarrassing?" Deng Luoyi said.

He saw Deng Luoyi sitting on the sofa, decadent, gloomy, and disdainful.

"Don't talk to me!" Deng Luoyi suddenly became angry, staring straight at the direction of no one.

Sherley took a small step back in fright at his weird self-questioning. Now, she should understand why Deng Luoyi escaped from marriage.She looked at a bodyguard on the opposite side, her young and beautiful face was full of surprise, the bodyguard lowered her eyes expressionlessly, as if the stop button had been pressed in the ward.

Deng Luoyi disappeared from the social circle again, and this time he had no excuse to play and relax. He was secretly imprisoned in a mental hospital.

Single ward, tempered glass, walls covered with soft materials.At first, he hid his daily pills under the mattress. This behavior was discovered, so the nurse stared at him before leaving, and he swallowed the pills and picked his throat to spit them out, and so on.

Most psychiatric drugs can cause increased sleep, loss of appetite, and dry mouth, and medical staff can tell by his performance whether he is taking his medication on time.Deng Luoyi lay on the windowpane and looked out all day long. It is true that he ate less, but he did not drink more water.It wasn't the drugs that caused his loss of appetite, but the depression.

Diana came to visit him every day, talking to him like a puppet, and persuading him to take medicine.Without medication, his condition will not improve.

They ground the medicine into powder and smuggled it into his food and water.The medicine given to him has a sedative effect, and Deng Luoyi spent a few days in a daze before realizing the strangeness of his body.

When the female nurse brought the food, he stepped back and refused to eat.He didn't even dare to drink more water.

There was no better way, he was so stubborn that the doctor recommended him to use convulsion-free electroconvulsive therapy.

Two male nurses grabbed his arms and pressed his shoulders. Deng Luoyi saw the opportunity and kicked a nurse's knee, knocking him down, and grabbed another nurse with his free hand.He would bite, and the male nurse screamed in pain to let him go.He got out of bed while running around, and was dragged back by more people and tied to the hospital bed.

"Mom! Don't give me electrotherapy... Please... Mom! Mom!" He begged Diana bitterly, tears streaming down his face, he was like an animal on an altar.

"Roy, electrotherapy won't cause serious harm to you. It's anesthesia. It doesn't hurt. It's like sleeping. You'll be fine after a night's sleep. Be good." Diana recalled his childhood, and couldn't bear it. With messy hair, she leaned over and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

She is his guardian, and if she agrees, the hospital can use any treatment method on him.

"Mommy mommy!"

The milky white anesthetic was injected into Deng Luoyi's body, his cry dropped, his eyelids closed, and they opened a crack reluctantly, then they closed completely, and his clenched fists loosened.

"Where did you take him? Don't cry! Tell mom, where did you take him?!" She grabbed his shoulder, impatient and anxious, not knowing how strong her hand was.

He hurts, his whole body hurts.

She searched every corner of the streets and alleys, asking familiar and unfamiliar people.

"Did you see a child? It looks like this." She let them look at him, and he blankly let them look.

A torrential rain fell in the humid summer, the sun hid behind the clouds, and the leaves of the sycamore trees rustled.His hair was drenched in the rain, and his shoes were soaked with water. She stored him in a canteen and borrowed an umbrella from the boss.

The bright red umbrella unfolded in the sound of overlapping rain, she waded through the water, and the back of the red umbrella gradually melted away.

The owner of the canteen brought a small bench and asked him to sit on it.He sat at the door, looking up at the rainwater sliding down the eaves.

He is thirsty and wants to drink water.

"Water," he said.

Water was not allowed for about eight hours before electrotherapy, and he would definitely be thirsty by this time.

The person beside the bed picked up the water glass, lifted his shoulders, and slowly fed him water.

There is not a single muscle in Deng Luoyi's body that is not sore. He is temporarily unable to move himself, and someone needs to help him.

"How are you feeling?" Diana handed the water glass to the nurse.

He forced a smile on his face and said, "It's a bit uncomfortable."

He felt hungry and wanted to eat something, but no one was allowed to feed him.Holding the spoon himself, tremblingly scooped up a little mashed potato and stuffed it into his mouth.

After a while, he looked up and asked, "Why am I in the hospital? Was there a car accident?"

"Your illness is serious." Diana said.

Deng Luoyi was silent, and put aside the mashed potatoes he had just eaten, "What stage has Myron Jiang's research progressed?"

"He resigned?"

"has resigned!"

The electrotherapy affected his memory, and it was as if he had time-traveled from more than three years ago to the present.However, memory loss is a common side effect of electrotherapy, and memory can gradually return over time.

The anesthetist gave him a second injection, and an electric current went into his body, stimulating his cerebral cortex.

His hair was sticking wet to his face, and he wiped his hair with a towel from behind with both hands, slowly and gently.

It is summer outside the window, and you can see the golden sunlight streaming on the grass, and the white gauze curtains fluttering leisurely in the wind.

"Luo, what we are going to do this afternoon is plant flowers, not play with water. You are not allowed to touch that water pipe again."

He turned his head, and the person in front of him had calm and gentle eyes.

He dried his hair and led him back into the garden, with a lake in the distance, wooden platforms and slender calamuses.The water pipes twisted and twisted, and the grass under our feet softened after absorbing water. A shovel was leaning against the wall. Next to the shovel was a pile of brown soil. When we got closer, we could see the pit that had just been dug out.

Carmine sunflowers will be transplanted into the garden.

A flower unfortunately fell off the stem. He picked up this small red flower and handed it to him, "There is a tradition in Chile in South America. They will swallow red flowers in their mouths to express their love to their loved ones."

"You never confessed to me." He wanted to collect all the expressions of his love.

"This flower is too small, how can I hold it?"

For the third electrotherapy, he was still awake when he returned to the ward, but he was crying, crying very sadly, and then there were the fourth and fifth times...

After dinner, he chatted with the nurse about the news, the patient next door, and so on.He was talking with a smile, but suddenly he stopped talking, walked to the window and leaned against the glass to look out.

"He didn't come today."

The nurse asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"I don't know." He tried to recall, his expression painful, "...I don't know."

He began to cry again, and the drooping eyes at the end were pitiful.

"Take the medicine, you will be able to remember after taking the medicine." She closed the curtain, took him back to the hospital bed, and gave him water and medicine.

"Where did you just say?" He drank water and swallowed the pill.

"I told of a new patient who started reading poetry aloud in the middle of the night."

"Can't you just take his book?"

"He can memorize it all in his head."

Deng Luoyi paused, "What you said today. Did you say it yesterday? I remember you said that he read German poetry."

The nurse blinked and said with a smile, "You remember now."

The author says:

I'm done with the abuse, and I'm having fun.

Deng Luoyi in this chapter is actually "Luo Xuan", Deng Luoyi will not make himself so embarrassed.
