Chapter 20: Awakening, Amnesia
He opened his eyes dimly, turned his neck with difficulty, and looked around through the bright and non-dazzling light.
It was a room, white and clean, with a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, and a table with a water dispenser and cups on either side and a machine connected to the screen, on which the green lines were rising and falling, like a marquee, across the middle of the screen.
Toot toot... The sound came from the screen.
There seemed to be a pain in the back of his hand, and he raised his hand to find that several cannulas were inserted into the back of his hand, connected to a bottle of liquid next to him.
Hospital?
The furnishings of the room, although the brain was in chaos, the knowledge of the brain discerned the environment he had just seen, and told him where it was.
Why am I in the hospital?
The confusion in my brain subsided slightly, and I wanted to check my memory, but I found that my mind was blank and there was nothing to recall.
Just then, the door was opened from the outside, and a woman in a nurse's outfit walked in in with a wheelchair to find the person lying on the bed awake and puzzled by everything around her.
The nurse slowly walked to the bedside and smiled kindly, "Mr. Asakura, you're finally awake." ”
His dry throat squirmed, and with doubt, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "Mr. Asakura?
After listening to this, the nurse hurriedly poured a glass of water from the water dispenser next to her, but instead of letting him drink it directly, she took out a cotton swab from the drawer, soaked it, and applied the water on it to his lips.
As he smeared, he said, "Looks like you've lost your memory due to a severe head injury." ”
He pursed his lips, letting his mouth feel a trace of cold touch, his dry mouth was like a long drought and water, greedily absorbing the water that didn't make much sense, "Serious head injury?"
I don't have any impression of my past, and I don't even understand what the person in front of me is saying. Although he lost his memory, he still retains common sense and intuition, knowing that the nurse in front of him has no ill will towards him.
The nurse soaked the cotton swab again and continued to apply it to her lips, "Your name is Asakura Ha, as for your business, let's talk about it when I see your wife." ”
"Wife?"
The nurse smiled and nodded, "It's a very kind and lovely... Beauty. ”
"And where is she?"
"She just gave birth a few days ago, and she is a lovely girl. When the nurse talked about the girl again, she subconsciously lowered her voice and looked at Asakura Ye suspiciously, wanting to know if he would be a patriarchal man.
"Daughter?" "Daughter?" After listening to this, Asakura Ye stuck out his tongue, licked his moist lips, and smiled into a crescent moon with his eyes, "It must be cute, can you take me to see it?"
"Yes. Sure that Asakura is not the kind of man who is patriarchal, the nurse nodded with a smile and said, "But you have to go to the doctor first, after all, you have been in a coma for ten months." ”
"Ten months!?" Despite losing his memory, not knowing his relationship with his wife, and even not knowing her name, there was a violent sense of loss in the heart of Asakura Ha.
"You lie down first, I'll go find a doctor. ”
After the nurse finished speaking, she left directly.
A few minutes later, a doctor in a white lab coat was brought over by the nurse, and after the doctor had examined him, he was allowed to leave the room, but the nurse had to take him there.
While the doctor examined himself, Asakura Ye also asked him about his wife and children, so as not to be particularly embarrassed to wait for a while.
If he could, he didn't even want his wife to know about his loss of memory.
But his idea was told by the doctor: "Your wife already knows that you will lose your memory." "Just give up on this unrealistic idea.
Fortunately, the doctor still told him about his wife and daughter, as well as when and why he was admitted to the hospital.
Lisa Oostore is his wife's name, and her daughter, as the nurse said, was born a few days ago and still has no name.
He was taken to the hospital by his wife ten months ago because he was out on a hike and was hit on the head by a falling rock on the cliff while passing by, and then he was taken to the hospital.
That's all the doctors know about their family.
The nurse helped Asakura remove the intubation from his body and carried him to the wheelchair he had brought earlier.
Ma Cangye, who was sitting in a wheelchair, admired the nurse for easily picking himself up without taking a breath, "Your strength is really great!"
"Strength?" said the nurse who was pushing Asakura Ye forward from the back of the wheelchair, let out a sneering laugh.
"Did I say the wrong thing?"
"Nothing. ”
Asakura Ha's doubts were met with a friendly smile from the nurse.
Pushing Asakura to Lisa's room, she can be heard greeting other nurses, patients, or doctors. And Asakura Ye was also on the way to Lisa's room, and understood some things about his body.
He found that his right eye was unable to see anything, and his left eye, which was able to see clearly, was obscured by long bangs. I don't know if the bangs were left by himself at the beginning, or if the barber found by the hospital left them without permission, so he asked the nurse.
The nurse told him that he had his bangs on his own, and that the most they had found was a hairdresser to cut off his long hair. The nurse heard from her wife that she had always had this hairstyle in the past.
Asakura Ye pushed away the bangs that blocked his view again, complaining about the troublesome hairstyle he had left before. At the same time, I wondered about the blindness of my right eye, "Is my right eye invisible?"
The nurse nodded without thinking, "Yes." When I examine you, the doctor is startled by your eyes. ”
Asakura Ye smiled after hearing the nurse's words, "What's so scary about blind eyes. ”
The doctor, accustomed to seeing dead people or more horrific injuries, was surprised to be frightened at the sight of his blind right eye.
Then he asked, "Can you get me a hairpin?" ”
Brushing the bangs away again, Asakura made a grumbling sound.
"Okay. The nurse walked over to the counter next to her and said a few words to the staff there, who took off her hairpin and handed it to her.
The nurse took her hairpin from the staff's hand and returned to Asakuraha's side, "Take it." ”
"Thank you. ”
Asakuraha, who took the hairpin, pushed the bangs to his head and fixed it with the hairpin so that it would not obscure his vision.
Although the people along the way looked at Asakura with strange eyes, Asakura Ha, who was thinking about how to communicate with his wife, did not pay attention to their gaze.
After a while, the two finally came to the door of a room.
Asakura Ye asked in a low voice, "Is this Lisa's room?"
The nurse nodded.
"Lisa in there?"
The nurse nodded.
"Then let's go inside. ”
After taking several deep breaths, Asakura finally knocked on the closed door.
