Chapter 5 Amnesia

```

Realizing she was overthinking, Wei Han quickly coughed a few times to cover it up. She first stared at the so-called patient's family members, then turned her gaze back to the person on the bed, "How do you feel now? Do you remember your name and why you are hospitalized?"

Ning Ruixi was desperate for someone to explain to her what exactly was happening and who those strangers were. When the young man, dressed like a doctor, spoke, she quickly said, "My name is Ning Ruixi. I got injured because of a traffic accident."

Being hit by something while driving should count as a traffic accident, right?

Ning Ruixi blinked and thought for a moment, then suddenly felt as if something was amiss. She remembered being hit by something before she lost consciousness. Even if there were no wounds on her head, shouldn't her body feel wrong? But now, why did she feel nothing but a soft, weak sensation throughout her body, except for on her hand...

"Amnesia. Prepare the CT room; let's get the patient there immediately," Wei Han instructed the nurse beside him after digesting Ning Ruixi's words for only a few seconds.

The petite nurse nodded and quickly dashed out of the ward.

After giving instructions to the nurse, Wei Han sighed slightly and said to the person on the bed, "I'm sorry, Miss Ning, but I think you really have amnesia. Therefore, we need to conduct further tests on you. I am your primary doctor. From what I saw in the operating room, you were hospitalized for a suicide attempt by slitting your wrists, not some traffic accident as you've mentioned. Moreover, as far as I know, there hasn't been any major traffic accident today."

"Impossible!"

Ning Ruixi struggled to sit up from the bed, her bright eyes wide with disbelief and shock, "I clearly got into trouble while waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. How could it be..."

While speaking, Ning Ruixi lifted her hand to prove she was not involved in some melodramatic suicide attempt. However, her words were caught in her throat when she saw the bandage tied around her wrist and could not utter another word.

"This..."

Ning Ruixi looked up again at the group of strangers in front of her. As before, there wasn't a single unfamiliar face among them, but they were treating her with a very familiar attitude. Moreover, the person claiming to be her mother called her "Xiaoxi." What on earth was going on?

As a doctor, Wei Han immediately sensed the patient's emotional fluctuations and quickly said, "The patient is very agitated right now. If possible, I would like to understand the specific situation of the patient to better observe her condition."

After considering for a moment and looking at the still agitated girl on the bed, Wei Han's gaze flickered before he turned to the only person in the room who seemed relatively calm, "Sir, could you please step outside with me for a moment?"

Gao Han, still expressionless, just gave his little wife a deep look and then followed the doctor out of the ward.

As soon as the doctor left, Ning's mother, who had just managed to stop crying, burst into tears again. While crying, she tried to grab and shake Ning Ruixi's shoulders, but fortunately, those present stopped her in time.

Ning Ruixi was too lazy to deal with all this. She was very agitated. She just couldn't understand how things could have suddenly turned out this way. How did she become a self-harmer who committed suicide by slitting her wrists after waking up?

Suddenly, Ning Ruixi stiffened as she recollected everything that had happened since she woke up, an incredible thought emerging in her mind.

Without bothering to explain to these strangers, she said excitedly, "Hurry, hurry, give me a mirror. I need a mirror."

Outside the ward, Wei Han rubbed his slightly sore temples, trying to perk himself up, "Mr. Gao, regarding your lady's condition, I have something to discuss with you over the phone."

Gao Han nodded expressionlessly, aware that no matter how upset he was, he couldn't vent his frustrations in the current situation.

"It's like this. Based on the patient's condition, I have an unpleasant suspicion. Of course, this is just a guess. Mr. Gao, please don't take it personally if there's any inaccuracy."

Ever since he first saw this man, Wei Han could sense the aura of deadly calm that was unlike ordinary people. Despite not being much of a gossip, he couldn't help but feel some interest in the man's identity.

"Please speak frankly, Doctor Su," said Gao Han, his lips pursed, a hint of worry showing on his resolute face due to Wei Han's words. No matter what, the woman was still his wife. As long as they weren't divorced, she was his responsibility.

Struck by the man's resolve, Wei Han looked at him with some surprise. He couldn't understand why this seemingly reliable man, certainly more dependable than the olds playing off their age, would drive Ning Ruixi to suicide.

"I suspect that the patient might have mild depression. Such amnesia typically occurs in one of two scenarios: one is due to a severe head injury, and the other is due to great psychological trauma leading to selective amnesia as a form of escape. Based on my previous examinations, the patient has no wounds on the head, though I cannot rule out internal injuries."

The doctor's words reminded Gao Han of a possibility, his sharp eyes subtly twinkling before regaining their usual calm, "Thank you, doctor. I'll keep that in mind."

"This... no..."

Ning Ruixi, seeing the delicate and pretty face in the mirror, shook her head in disbelief and murmured to herself.

This... this is not her!

Her own features were somewhat androgynous. When she wore suits, she exuded both the delicate beauty of a woman and the dashing elegance of a man. Her features were deep, resembling a mixed-race at first glance. But the face before her now, with its fine and delicate features, was not hers!

At that moment, Ning Ruixi finally understood the cause of all the strange incidents beforehand.

She, Ning Ruixi, the current CEO of Ning Group, a well-known businesswoman in today's business circles, whose company's profits ran into the billions each year.
