Ren Yao couldn't help but laugh, her earlier worries melting away.
Luo Yi gazed at her, his eyes filled with fondness. This dinner felt like one of those "CEO falling for me" moments in a romance drama.After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant.The night breeze was refreshing, but suddenly, Ren Yao felt dizzy. Her vision turned into slow motion, and the surrounding sounds became muffled.
She instinctively pressed her forehead, her mind going blank. Important memories seemed to vanish, as though erased by an invisible eraser.
"Yao Yao, what's wrong?" Luo Yi immediately noticed her unusual state and caught her before she could collapse. "You don't look well."Ren Yao shook her head, trying to stay conscious. But the harder she tried, the more intense the headache became, as if something was struggling to break free but was being forcibly suppressed.She opened her mouth, attempting to speak, but found herself unable to remember anything. Only a soundless groan escaped her lips.
"I… I think I…" Ren Yao's voice trembled, "I think I've… forgotten something…"She gripped Luo Yi's arm, her fingers turning white from the pressure. Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.
An Qing looked at her with deep concern, reaching out to check Ren Yao's forehead. Her temperature was normal, but her hand was frighteningly cold."Don't be afraid," Luo Yi reassured, his grip tightening on her hand. "I'm here."
However, at that moment, Ren Yao's gaze suddenly went vacant. She slowly released Luo Yi's hand, her eyes staring ahead as if seeing something terrifying.She mumbled, "Who… who is calling me?"
Then, she abruptly shut her eyes.
Ren Yao's body swayed and fell backward, but Luo Yi quickly caught her. Her face was pale, and cold sweat dotted her forehead. She muttered, her words indistinct: "Shadow… voice… who?"Luo Yi's expression darkened instantly. He immediately scooped Ren Yao into his arms, turning to An Qing. "We can't waste any time. We need to get her to the hospital right now."An Qing nodded, but her unease deepened. Ren Yao's vacant expression and the murmurs about shadows and voices seemed like she was under the influence of something beyond the ordinary.The car ride was heavy with tension, as Ren Yao remained unconscious, her lips whispering incoherent words: "Shadow… emerging… don't… don't come…"Luo Yi's eyes flashed with resolve. He quickly tried to piece together any clues in his mind. Ren Yao had never been like this before. Was it a physical problem, or was something else at play?The car soon pulled up in front of a private clinic. Luo Yi rushed inside with Ren Yao, and the staff, recognizing him immediately, led them to an emergency room."Mr. Luo, please wait. We'll conduct the tests right away," the doctor instructed, guiding his assistants.An Qing stood by anxiously, her face full of concern. "Is she going to be alright? Could she have been poisoned?"The doctor didn't respond immediately, but after a while, he emerged with the test results, his face serious. He looked at Luo Yi and said, "Mr. Luo, Miss Ren's body shows no significant physical damage. But…""But what?" Luo Yi's voice was cold, his patience running thin.
