Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

When Ming Rusheng was being taken to the test, his eyes were searching for someone but not seeing that person even when he reached the test room, he finally gave up. His parents and sister were there but he wanted to see her too. Just as the door of the room opened, he heard a voice that made his restless mind calm.

"Doctor Hao, I hope I am not late. Is it done already?" she asked.

"We are just taking him for a test," doctor Hao replied and entered the test room.

"You look like you ran here," Ming Lan asked.

"I had to go to the work site for an urgent matter. I returned as soon as I could. And you all were here so I had nothing to worry about." she replied, catching her breath.

Ming Rusheng didn't look at her as if he didn't hear her though he wished to turn and take at least one look at her. He was relieved that she was back.

'I am getting used to her presence it seems,' he thought.

Ming Rusheng was taken inside the test room while others waited outside. They all prayed for everything to be fine.

After it was finished, Ming Rusheng was brought out in his wheelchair and taken to his room. Ming Lan and Zhang Jei followed him to the room while Ming Yusheng and Lu Lian went to see the doctor.

Sitting in the chair opposite doctor Hao's work table, Ming Yusheng asked, "Is he completely fine now?"

"Yes he is but there might be some post-surgery effects for a long time."

"As in?" Ming Yusheng asked and Lu Lian waited to hear.

"We are not sure what exact effects he will show but most of the patients have post-traumatic amnesia where they might not remember a few things for some time, changes in personality and might face challenges with their communication, concentration, memory, and emotional abilities," doctor Hao replied.

Ming Yusheng had worried expressions on his face. Seeing him worried, Lu Lian spoke, "Uncle, as the doctor said they are not permanent. He will take some to settle with it. After all, it was critical surgery."

Ming Yusheng nodded, "He is alive safe so I expect nothing more. Whatever he faces, we will be with him."

Lu Lian nodded, agreeing to it.

Seeing the young girl who hid her worry and fear behind her smile, Ming Yusheng felt bad for her and asked the doctor, "He can remember everything but the past few month's time with Lu Lian. Why is it like that?"

"There can be two reasons," the doctor said, "One the cells which stored those memories must have been removed during surgery or the second is when the patient doesn't want to remember any painful memory and they resist to remember." The doctor looked at Lu Lian, "Did something happen that he was hurt?"

Feeling guilty, Lu Lian nodded.

"It's fine. Fights are normal to happen. My son seems to be weak-hearted to fight back. Don't feel bad about it," Ming Yusheng consoled her.

"I hope it's the second case so there are chances he might remember it," the doctor said, "Happy or sad, memories should always be there. Not trying to remember them is just like running away from the reality that one should never do."

"We will remove the plaster from his left hand in the next few weeks. He has no difficulty in walking but still, we have to continue his physiotherapy for long."

The other two agreed and prayed in their minds for Ming Rusheng to remember it. When they returned to Ming Rusheng's room, Zhang Jei asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"He is absolutely fine now. For some time he will have some issues like not remembering certain things, but it will be fine soon," Ming Yusheng replied.

Zhang Jei and Ming Lan felt relieved but at the same time felt bad for Lu Lian. He remembered everything but her.

In a few hours, after the final result of the test is out, we can take him home," Ming Rusheng informed.

Others were happy while Lu Lian was happy as well as sad. Once he returns home, she won't be able to be with him for long other than just visiting him once in a while.

"Good to know. I am fed up with staying here for so long," Ming Rusheng said as he looked relaxed.

It hurt Lu Lian even more. If he was Ming Rusheng before the accident, he would have loved to stay anywhere as long as he could be with her.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Wen Zac entered the room. He greeted everyone and went to his friend.

"You two talk, we are outside," Leaving the two friends they went out. Ming Yusheng had to finish the final paperwork in the hospital that his assistant brought to him. Ming Lan replied to the urgent call she got. Lu Lain and Zhang Jei were together.

"You must be disappointed that he can't remember you," Zhang Jei said as she felt bad for her.

"It's fine. As long as he is safe, nothing matters," Lu Lian replied.

"Be patient. He might remember it soon. Even if the memories are gone, one's heart can't forget the person who they truly love," Zhang Jei consoled.

"Maybe it's my punishment for hurting him," Lu Lian replied.

"Don't worry about it, I know him. He is not the kind to get affected so easily. He will realize his true feelings for you soon," Zhang Jei consoled and Lu Lian could only nod to it.

Inside Ming Rusheng's room.

Wen Zac sat in the chair next to bed and looked at his quietly sitting friend, "Are you pulling out that long face because I couldn't come to see you for the past two weeks now?"

"Why would I? Not like you are my girlfriend," Ming Rusheng countered.

Wen Zac smiled teasingly, "But might be the one to steal your girlfriend."

"Then I will think that woman doesn't deserve to be my girlfriend," Ming Rusheng commented.

"This is what I hate about you," Wen Zac said while Ming Rusheng didn't react.

"I heard you still remember everything but forgot Lu Lian."

"There must be nothing to remember."

Wen Zac smirked, "Well, it's good then. I was thinking if you don't find it that important then I still stand a chance to take her with me. She will be a good wife and the way she fought for you, it makes me want her more and be one lucky man like you."

Ming Rusheng glared at him, "Though I don't remember anything, she seems to love me. So don't waste your time behind her."

Wen Zac chuckled, "Though the memories are gone, the possessiveness is still there. That look in your eyes, makes me think, you still remember everything."

"You should check your eyes," Ming Rusheng countered and looked away from him.

"Anyways, I wanted to tell you something," Wen Zac said and Ming Rusheng looked at him.

"That night at the party, what you saw didn't happen," Wen Zac said, "I am just a very good actor."

Ming Rusheng looked at him for a moment and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"As expected," Wen Zac frowned, "For the first time I wanted to trouble you and make you run for what you want but you spoiled all the fun by getting into this accident."

"Nothing makes sense to me what bullshit you are talking about," Ming Rusheng spoke.

Wen Zac didn't mind it and continued, "I wanted both of you to realize life is not a game and I am not the one you two should use to play that game. But damn you two suddenly brought the twist and changed the game which I changed and set with my rules."

"Are you done?" Ming Rusheng asked.

Wen Zac nodded, "Hmm, just remember that she loves you a lot and whatever she tries, she can never be with anyone. I wanted her to realize it that's why I played along with her to push her to her limits. I ended that game in that party itself when she and I were in the gallery of that party venue and you took it another way exactly what I wanted to show you."

Ming Rusheng turned silent and Wen Zac spoke, "Whether you remember her or not, don't let her go. She is the one you loved a lot."

Ming Rusheng looked at his friend feeling speechless.

"That's it for today. I have to leave the city again for one week. Will see you after that," Wen Zac stood up.

"Let's grab a drink when you are back," Ming Rusheng offered.

"Hmm, take care and whatever you are doing, don't pull it for long," Wen Zac commented to which Ming Rusheng didn't react.
