Chapter 75 Recovering Memory
The sunlight shines through the half-open window, casting mottled shadows on the quiet ward, adding a touch of golden warmth.
The soft sunlight danced gently on Lu Wannian's face, as if it was nature's caress, trying to awaken the memories sleeping deep within.
Brothers Lu Xinghui and Lu Xingchen stood side by side beside the bed. Their eyes were full of tenderness and sorrow as they gazed affectionately at Lu Wannian who was lying quietly on the bed.
Although the patient is no longer in danger, his amnesia still acts as an invisible barrier, separating him from his past memories.
Sitting in the chair next to her, Su Qing listened to their conversation quietly, with a hint of sympathy and concern flashing in her eyes from time to time.
Whenever Lu Xingchen and Lu Xinghui told Lu Wannian about his past, she always listened quietly, occasionally interjected gently, and gave them silent support with her tenderness and understanding.
"Uncle Lu, can the method you mentioned really help him restore his memory?" Lu Xinghui asked in a low voice, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety that was hard to conceal.
Lu Xingchen shook his head gently, but his tone was unusually firm: "I don't know what the result will be, but we have to try. Su Qing, do you have any suggestions?"
Su Qing sat by the bed, gently holding Lu Wannian's hand, her eyes full of tenderness and determination: "I will do my best to help Uncle Lu regain his memory. Perhaps, we need more clues and time to accumulate."
Lu Xingchen looked at Su Qing, with a complex emotion in his heart.
He remembered that Su Qing's smile was always so warm, as if it could dispel all the haze.
At this moment, in addition to worry, there was also an unwavering persistence in her eyes.
In the next few days, the Lu brothers, accompanied by Su Qing, embarked on a journey to find their memories.
Together, they looked through Lu Wannian's old photos and listened to Lu Xinghui's stories about the past that had been forgotten by the years, trying to find a clue.
Through Lu Xinghui's narration, Lu Xingchen learned more about Lu Wannian's story.
He remembered that his father had been a fearless soldier who was willing to sacrifice everything for his country and his family.
"Brother, do you know? My father once told me that his greatest wish is that the whole family can be reunited and live in harmony." Lu Xinghui said with emotion.
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "I know, he also hopes that we can live in harmony and support this family together."
"Xingchen, look, that candied haws looks delicious." Su Qing pointed at the roadside stall, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, walked over and bought two strings of candied haws, and handed one to Su Qing: "If you like it, eat more, I'll accompany you."
Lu Xinghui looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He knew that he was caught in the middle and felt an indescribable embarrassment, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
As night fell, Lu Xingchen stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky in the distance, feeling a sense of reluctance in his heart.
He understood that he always felt that it was not suitable to stay in Kyoto for a long time. He was worried that if it went on for a long time, Su Qing and his half-brother would cause trouble.
"Xingchen, what are you thinking about?" Su Qing walked over and asked softly.
Lu Xingchen turned his head and looked at Su Qing, with a complicated look in his eyes: "I'm wondering if we should consider going back. We have been out for a while, but it is not advisable to stay for long."
Su Qing was silent for a while, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "I understand your worries, but I believe that Dad will gradually get better."
Lu Xingchen looked at Su Qing, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Just then, Lu Xinghui walked in and looked at the two of them, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
He knew that he had developed a special liking for Su Qing, and he heard the conversation between the two of them from behind.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Lu Xinghui asked. He asked knowingly, trying to cover up his guilty conscience.
Lu Xingchen turned his head, looked at Lu Xinghui, and smiled slightly: "We are discussing Dad's affairs. Xiaohui, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Xinghui was silent for a while, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, we must help Dad recover his memory. This is our responsibility."
While taking care of Lu Wannian, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing became closer to each other.
Although Lu Xinghui felt a little uncomfortable, he always maintained his proper demeanor and buried his little thoughts in the deepest part of his heart.
One evening, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing were walking in the small garden outside the ward. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, creating a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
"Su Qing, do you believe in miracles?" Lu Xingchen suddenly asked, his eyes falling gently on Su Qing's face.
Su Qing smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "I believe that as long as we pursue it with all our heart, miracles will always happen."
Just then, they heard a sound coming from the ward.
They hurried back to the ward and saw Lu Wannian trying hard to sit up. It turned out that he wanted to get a cup of water to drink, but accidentally knocked the cup to the ground, and a large area of the bed sheet was wet.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing hurried forward to help. Lu Wannian looked at them, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Su Qing quickly took out a new bed sheet from the bedside table and changed it.
"You are..." Lu Wannian said slowly, his voice weak and his eyes full of confusion.
Lu Xingchen and Lu Xinghui looked at each other, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in their eyes.
Su Qing held Lu Wannian's hand tightly and said in a gentle voice: "They are both your sons. His name is Lu Xinghui, your younger son. His name is Lu Xingchen, your older son. I am Xingchen's daughter-in-law, and my name is Su Qing."
There was a ripple in Lu Wannian's eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying to remember something. Suddenly, a confused and delighted expression appeared on his face, and his voice was weak but full of emotion: "You...are you really my family?"
"Yes, Dad, we are all your family." Lu Xinghui said excitedly.
Tears welled up in Lu Wannian's eyes. He slowly stretched out his hands, held Lu Xingchen and Lu Xinghui's hands respectively, and then used all his strength to hug them gently.
Su Qing looked at this scene and tears welled up in her eyes.
The atmosphere in the ward became unusually warm, and Lu Xingchen and Lu Xinghui felt that the burden in their hearts had finally been lifted.
They knew that although Lu Wannian’s memory had not yet recovered, he began to accept information from his family, which was already a huge improvement.
As time went by, Lu Wannian's condition gradually improved.
Under Su Qing's careful care, the patient's physical and mental state have improved significantly.
Although memory recovery is still slow, every little progress makes the whole family feel extremely relieved.
In the following time, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing accompanied Lu Wannian, helping him recall every bit of the past.
Although the process was slow and difficult, every time Lu Wannian recalled a past event, their hearts were filled with joy.
Lu Xingchen and Lu Xinghui were filled with relief as they watched their father's changes.
They knew that their efforts were not in vain and their father was slowly coming back to them.
During this process, Su Qing also felt the warmth and love of the Lu family more deeply.
She knew that she had become an indispensable part of this family.
