When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

Chapter 164 It’s not a big deal, but it should hurt people

Si Gaoyun snorted, "I'm short of money? I'm only responsible for you. As for your people, you can handle them yourself."

"Seriously, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Cheng raised his hand and flicked the ash into the ashtray, then turned the monitor screen towards Si Gaoyun.

Si Gaoyun had a faint expression. She glanced at Xiao Cheng with her narrow eyes, and then her gaze fell on the screen.

He bent his fingers, pushed up his glasses, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Selective amnesia? Who? You, or the one in the room?"

Xiao Cheng took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled smoke rings, and raised his chin towards the study door.

Si Gaoyun nodded and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

No wonder A Cheng didn’t tell Chu He that he had saved her that year. It turns out that she didn’t even remember him.

"You want to help her recover her memory?"

"I didn't think about it."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of!"

Si Gaoyun and Xiao Cheng are childhood friends. Because Si Gaoyun is an illegitimate child and has a cold personality, he is often ostracized by people at school. Only Xiao Cheng is willing to be his friend and help him teach those who bully him a lesson. Si Gaoyun has always been grateful to Xiao Cheng.

Until one evening fourteen years ago, when he saw Xiao Cheng in an abandoned factory, he vowed that he must become a doctor for the sake of his brother Xiao Cheng.

At that time, Xiao Cheng fell in a pool of blood, with blood constantly gushing out of the two bloody holes on his back, and he was in a dying state.

There were three dead kidnappers lying around, and the scene was covered in blood, which was shocking.

Finally, when Xiao Cheng was rushed to the hospital, he suffered a punctured spleen, causing excessive blood loss and cardiac arrest. He was saved after a full night of emergency treatment. He stayed in the ICU for a full month before being sent abroad for a lengthy recovery.

It was not until he became a doctor that he understood how much perseverance Xiao Cheng had needed to survive the situation.

Pulling his thoughts back, Si Gaoyun sighed.

"She owes you, so you're just going to let it go like this? Just leave it at that? Arrange a marriage? Get married? Act as if nothing happened?"

After a series of questions were asked, Xiao Cheng's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

He can pretend nothing happened, but what about Chu He?

He felt very conflicted, thinking that it would be best if she could forget that bloody scene for the rest of her life.

He was afraid that Chu He's memory would recover and he didn't want her to have to endure it again.

I don’t want her to feel guilty either!

After a moment's silence, Xiao Cheng exhaled a puff of cigarette and rubbed his temples with his fingers. "Before returning home, I also thought she owed me."

After a moment of silence, he put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and extinguished it.

He added, "I may have done a lot of wrong things to her. They weren't serious, but they must have been very hurtful. I'm telling you this because I want you to be honest with me. Is it possible for someone like her to recover her memory?"

Si Gaoyun didn't understand what Xiao Cheng was so entangled with. From his doctor's perspective, he treated the disease and restored the memory, and he was willing to repay Xiao Cheng's life-saving grace with his own body. Without memory, he should just live his life as he pleased and start all over again.

"I'm a surgeon, and psychology and neurology aren't my areas of expertise. However, from what I understand, selective amnesia can be caused not only by severe brain trauma but also by external stimuli. The former can be treated with surgery and medication. The latter is a psychological disorder, a form of self-defense in response to external stimuli. This requires the patient's cooperation with psychological intervention, or recovery is possible given the right opportunity."

Xiao Cheng closed his eyes, frowned, and rubbed his temples with his thumbs in circles.

"understood."
