Chapter 483: What was he overthinking?
The two siblings were truly worried about their father and begged their great-grandparent to bring them to the hospital to visit him.
When they saw their father shirtless with his waist and abdomen wrapped tightly in bandages, they felt heartbroken.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy, I'll blow on your wound and it won't hurt anymore."
Jiang Ye didn't speak, just stared straight at his two children.
These were the children he had with his wife. They really looked like them; the boy was handsome, and the girl was gentle and beautiful.
He had been alone for two lifetimes, and he hadn't expected that after waking up from amnesia, he would have two children!
The children weren't important; what was important was that he had fallen in love with his wife at first sight again!
Thank goodness, thank goodness, his past self had been quick to act and married his wife!
"Daddy, why aren't you talking?"
Xiao Nuomi was a bit strange. Usually, when she interacted with her father, he was very cooperative, so why wasn't he cooperating with her now?
"Little sister, don't bother Daddy. Daddy is hurt, he probably doesn't want to talk."
Xiao Mantou signaled for his sister not to make noise. Their father had just been rescued from the gates of hell, so he must still be dazed.
The two siblings started bickering as if no one else was around, but their intentions were good. The adults listened quietly without intervening, letting the siblings do as they pleased.
"Grandpa, why don't you take the children home first later? I'll stay here to take care of A-Ye."
Shen Man did have a headache watching the children bicker. A-Ye had abdominal wounds, and on top of that, he had amnesia; if it were discovered, it would cause everyone to worry.
She wanted to wait until A-Ye recovered his memory before letting the children get close to him.
"Fine, then you take good care of A-Ye here. I'll go home and buy fish to boil fish soup for A-Ye."
Old Master Lu nodded with a smile. He sensed that his granddaughter's husband was acting a bit strange, but seeing that his granddaughter didn't seem to want to say much and didn't want them to worry, he didn't ask.
People, after all, are better off being "rarely confused."
The two children saw their father and, confirmed he was safe, didn't make much of a fuss and obediently went home with their great-grandparent.
They still had summer homework to do; they would go home and do their homework first.
The ward became quiet again. Shen Man picked up an apple from the table and began to peel it. She didn't know who had said it, but when someone is sick, peeling an apple for them to eat is a prayer for the patient to be safe and sound.
Then, more people started setting up stalls near the hospital, mostly selling apples, as well as seasonal fruits like bananas and grapes.
Apples were the most popular because they had a good meaning—peace and safety.
"Wife, can you tell me how I usually get along with the children?"
Jiang Ye wanted to find a topic to take the opportunity to get more familiar with his wife.
"Sure. We have two children, a son and a daughter, as you've seen. Our son has a more steady personality, and our daughter is more spoiled. Our niece is more mischievous and lively, while our nephew is more steady..."
Shen Man introduced the children's temperaments and habits while peeling the apple.
After peeling the apple, she handed it to the man, signaling for him to eat.
"In a few days, when your wounds are better, we'll be discharged and go home. I'll show you the photo wall at home then; maybe it will help you recover your memory."
Shen Man suddenly remembered the photo wall. Over the years, they had gradually added furniture and appliances to the house, expanded the living area, and taken many family portraits and photos of their travels.
Perhaps the ten years of memory the man had lost could be stimulated by the images on the photo wall, leading to recovery?
"Hmm, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Ye agreed readily, but inside he was worried: if he couldn't recover his memory, would he be a stranger to his wife?
If he were her husband, his wife would certainly be willing to be close to him, but as a stranger, could he still be close to her?
He didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to continue thinking about it.
Shen Man was puzzled to see the man go from full of hope to looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, all wilted.
What was he overthinking?
Before she could investigate further, a knock sounded at the door. Gao Yale signaled to her to come out for a moment, saying she had something to discuss.
"I'll go out for a moment. You rest well, I'll be back in a bit."
Before leaving, Shen Man greeted Jiang Ye.
"Hmm."
Jiang Ye gave a gloomy "hmm." The apple in his hand was sweet, but his heart felt sour.
Shen Man wiped her hands and walked out, closing the door behind her.
"Manman, come quickly to see the excitement!"
Gao Yale's expression was extremely excited, and her tone revealed a lightness.
"What excitement?"
Shen Man bit her lip. Her reason told her not to watch the excitement, not to forget how she had been, but her feet and brain were already uncontrollably following Nurse Gao's lead.
"Those three people, Zhou Hongyu, Zhang Yibing, and Liu Jiaotong, weren't they fired?"
"Yes, I know, my sister-in-law told me."
"Didn't the director order them to move out within three days?
Today is already the fourth day, and they still haven't moved out!
And now, they are refusing to leave, so the director is arranging for security to drive them away, and those two men have started fighting in public!"
Gao Yale's tone was filled with schadenfreude. There was no helping it; Zhou Hongyu had been arrogant and domineering toward the nurses at their station after she changed.
Not to mention her, even the Head Nurse and others were gossiping behind Zhou Hongyu's back about how she was a petty person who had gained success, and that all her education had gone to the dogs!
It was truly hard to tell; the three people who had worked so hard a few years ago had become high and mighty just because they went to college, as if they were different people.
If this was what college education produced, then what was the point of a college degree?
Thank goodness, thank goodness, Manman had given up the chance to go to college back then; otherwise, now... she didn't dare to think about it.
"Stop fighting, you two!"
"It's not worth it for me!"
Zhou Hongyu had changed a lot. The girl with short hair like a tomboy had now become a woman with long, flowing hair, a graceful figure, and eyes full of ambition.
However, no matter how she tried to persuade them, the two men, whose eyes were already red with rage, no longer listened to her, throwing punches and kicks, each move more ruthless than the last.
Shen Man watched from not far away, not stepping forward.
She wondered if it was the environment that had changed Zhou Hongyu, or if Zhou Hongyu was inherently an ambitious person?
No one would give her an answer, and neither would Zhou Hongyu.
This was the last time Shen Man saw Zhou Hongyu, and from then on, there was no news of her.
Because of the love-hate entanglements of the three, the hospital's four years of investment and cultivation had all gone up in smoke, almost causing turmoil between the various departments.
From now on, the Military Region Hospital would never dare to sponsor anyone again.
It could be said that Zhou Hongyu and the others, by their own actions, had cut off the opportunities for many future people to go to college and receive sponsorship. ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
