"He recognizes me, but I truly don't know him."
Chu Ge looked at Chu Ling'er and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you, this is the truth. I have never met him before."
"Is that so?"
Chu Ling'er looked at her sister and said, "Mom, Dad, and I have always wanted to know what happened during the time you went missing. But you never tell us. Is there something you can't speak about?"
"Went missing?"
Hearing this, Chu Ge's expression turned grim. She said, "I don't remember ever going missing. I don't understand why you always say I went missing. You've been bringing this up for years, and I don't know what you're trying to achieve."
"Sister, you really did go missing for a while. Our family searched for you for a long time. I remember Mom crying every day back then."
Chu Ling'er said, "I feel that the memory you lost is related to Brother Shen. So, you can interact with him more. Perhaps he will help you recall some things."
"Enough, stop talking about it."
Hearing Chu Ling'er's words, Chu Ge yelled, "This topic is over. Don't mention it again. I have to go."
Seeing this, Chu Ling'er sighed and said no more.
Over the years, there had been an emotional rift between Chu Ling'er and her sister. The biggest reason was that Chu Ling'er always felt her sister had lost a period of memory, but every time Chu Ling'er brought it up, Chu Ge would fly into an inexplicable rage.
In Chu Ge's opinion, she had always been normal, never went missing, and had not lost any memory. However, Chu Ling'er always treated her like she was mentally ill, which made Chu Ge very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Chu Ling'er remained silent, Chu Ge snorted coldly and left the restaurant directly.
"Husband, I observed Chu Ge carefully just now. I think I might have been wrong last time. Was she deliberately pretending not to recognize you? She truly seems not to know you."
On the way back, Wang Yuyan, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned her head to Shen Lang and said, "Chu Ge looked at you with such calm and indifferent eyes. If she truly knew you, her eyes would never be like this. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Even the best actors will be betrayed by their eyes when they lie."
"She doesn't know me?"
Shen Lang heard this and said, "I am very sure she is the Chu Ge who begged with me back then. Why doesn't she recognize me? Could it be that due to some reason, she lost this memory?"
"Perhaps so. However, not knowing might not be a bad thing, and knowing might not be a good thing."
Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Now, you and Chu Ge may not have the joy of reunited old friends, but you also have the surprise of meeting by chance. If she is indeed Chu Ge, you can make up for your youthful regrets."
"Aren't you jealous?"
Shen Lang looked at Wang Yuyan with surprise and said, "When did my jealous wife become so magnanimous and tolerant?"
"Because I love you, and I understand you, so I know you wouldn't do anything to betray me."
Wang Yuyan smiled tenderly and said, "Chu Ge is your youthful regret and a scar on your heart. You need to mend this scar so that you won't be in pain. I don't want to see you in pain, so I won't mind."
"What a silly girl."
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Shen Lang looked at her with deep emotion and said, "Chu Ge is indeed a very important person to me. I will do everything in my power to protect her safety, but that is because of the kindness from my youth. You are my wife now, you don't need to compete with her."
"I know that, which is why I don't mind."
Wang Yuyan said to Shen Lang, "I won't interfere with your matters regarding Chu Ge. If you want to make amends, then do so to your heart's content, until the regret in your heart disappears."
"Yuyan, thank you."
Knowing how understanding Wang Yuyan was, Shen Lang was deeply touched and said, "I will never fail you in this life. You are always my wife, my only wife."
"You said it, I'll remember it. You are not allowed to do anything that betrays me from now on."
Wang Yuyan smiled gently and said, "I will also never betray you. You are my only man, and you always will be."
As Wang Yuyan said this, she wanted to say more, but at that moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
The sudden ringing of the phone severely affected Wang Yuyan's mood. However, when she saw the incoming number, she finally decided to answer the call.
The reason for this was that the caller was none other than her aunt, Jin Yulan.
Wang Yuyan did not like her snobbish aunt, but her uncle treated her very well, so she could tolerate her.
After the call was connected, Wang Yuyan forced a professional, fake smile and said, "Aunt, it's Yuyan. What made you suddenly call me?"
"Yuyan, something terrible has happened. Your uncle is bleeding uncontrollably and is on the brink of death. Hurry over here."
As soon as Wang Yuyan finished speaking, Jin Yulan's choked sobs came from the other end of the phone.
"What?"
Hearing Jin Yulan's words, Wang Yuyan's face changed drastically. She asked Jin Yulan, "Aunt, how could this happen? Uncle didn't seem this bad the last time I saw him. How could he suddenly fall critically ill?"
"Yuyan, I don't know why this happened. We went to see the Ghost Doctor Qin Yanluo before, and he had clearly cured your uncle's tuberculosis. Your uncle also felt that his long-standing illness was finally rooted out. But for some reason, within a few hours, your uncle suddenly fell gravely ill, he is spitting blood uncontrollably now, and the doctors are helpless."
Jin Yulan cried and said, "Yuyan, we are in Nanling, and we don't know this place. I hope you can think of a way. No matter what, you must cure your uncle. He is the backbone of our entire family. If he dies, we really don't know what to do."
"Okay, Aunt. Send me the address. I'll come over now, and we'll figure something out together."
Upon learning that her uncle had suddenly fallen gravely ill and was now on the brink of death, Wang Yuyan's face turned grim. She then hung up the phone.
Two seconds later, Wang Yuyan received a message from Jin Yulan. She opened it and saw it was the hospital's location.
"Yuyan, did something happen to your uncle?"
Just as Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang, about to speak, Shen Lang said it first.
"Husband, you knew something would happen?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan said with surprise.
"Yes, I told you long ago that the Ghost Doctor Qin Yanluo is unreliable. Seeking treatment from him is a dead end."
Shen Lang looked at the anxious Wang Yuyan and his tone suddenly softened. "Which hospital is your uncle in? Let's go there now. Hopefully, there's still time."
