Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Everything Will Be Alright!
Chen Cang didnât come off the night shift.
His face looked haggard.
He wasnât in a good mood.
After handing over his duties and discussing the situation, Chen Cang prepared to get up and go to the ICU to check on the patients.
But he was pulled back by Qin Yue.
Chen Cang turned around, âWhatâs up?â
Seeing Chen Cang like this, Qin Yue sighed, âGo to the duty room and get some sleep. I bought you breakfast; eat and rest for a while. Iâll call you if anything happens.â
Chen Cang saw the concern on Qin Yueâs face and smiled slightly, âAlright. Iâm fine; I just wanted to see how things were going.â
Only then did Qin Yue smile reassuringly, âOkay, take a break first.â
In truth, it was ultimately because he was too young, too easily influenced by his own emotions.
But sometimes, this really has nothing to do with being young.
Actually⦠Chen Cang didnât understand either.
After sleeping until noon and tidying up, Qin Yue brought him a thermal lunch box, a bowl of light noodles that looked appetizing.
All of a sudden, he felt happiness could be so simple.
Qin Yue sat next to Chen Cang warmly.
âEat.â
Chen Cang hummed in response.
To be honest, Qin Yue was more shocked than Chen Cang when she saw that girl.
After all, as a girl herself, it was easier to empathize.
It was a case of feeling someone elseâs pain as if it were your own.
While eating, Chen Cangâs phone suddenly rang.
âDoctor Chen, the patient woke up!â
The call was from an ICU nurse who informed Chen Cang immediately after the patient regained consciousness.
Chen Cang quickly put down his chopsticks, âAlright, Iâll be right there.â
After hanging up, Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with some excitement, âSheâs awake!â
Qin Yueâs eyes also lit up, âLetâs go, have a look.â
It was already noon by then, and everyone had gone off duty except for the on-call doctors.
Chen Cang and Qin Yue hurried to the ICU ward, and upon entering, they found the woman lying there.
On the monitor, many of the readings were normal.
The woman also looked curiously at Chen Cang and Qin Yue.
âHello⦠who are you?â the womanâs voice was soft and weak.
Chen Cang spoke calmly, âI am Chen Cang, an emergency department physician at the Second Provincial Hospital.â
The woman rubbed her head, âHow did I get injured like this? Why donât I remember anything?â
Chen Cang was taken aback, was this⦠amnesia?
Chen Cang couldnât help asking, âWhatâs your name?â
The woman sighed, âMy name is He Yali.â
Chen Cang paused slightly, his expression brightened, she could remember!
âDo you know how you got injured?â
The woman couldnât help wanting to think, but quickly shook her head, âI donât know, I feel like Iâve forgotten a lot of things.â
Chen Cang suddenly took a deep breath and asked her a flurry of questions.
He discovered that the girlâs intelligence, educational background, and long-term memory had no issues. The only thing she might have forgotten was about âhim,â written in that notebook.
Amnesia, and it was selective amnesia!
Chen Cang really couldnât make a judgment when it happened to someone else!
Butâ¦
For her, perhaps it was the most appropriate choice and explanation?
What is selective amnesia?
Selective amnesia occurs when a person undergoes strong emotional trauma or their brain receives trauma and irreversible damage, leading them to forget certain events, people, or objects they wish not to remember or are trying to avoid.
Moreover, selective amnesia is currently being systematically researched both domestically and internationally, with the hope that it can be applied clinically in the future.
But Chen Cang couldnât be sure, and he hurriedly contacted Professor Du from neurology and Li Baoshan from the emergency department.
Professor Du was having a meal at home when she received the call. She immediately put down her utensils and told her husband, âClean up a bit, I have to go to the hospital.â
The group gathered in the ICU and assessed the girlâs condition.
Subsequent tests were performed.
Afterward, Professor Du confirmed, âIt should be selective forgetting syndrome.â
Then, turning around, Professor Du added, âBut maybe itâs not such a bad thing. Contact the family in time.â
Indeed!
â`
For the girl, perhaps forgetting the past was the best choice.
Any kind of physical trauma can be healed, but the only scar that cannot be smoothed out is the one on the heart.
Now, itâs all better.
The scar in her heart had either healed or been forgotten. Maybe for her, at twenty-six, she should focus on recovering her health and start another chapter in her life.
This should be the best choice.
However, this would require communication with family members and even possibly involve the police.
Chen Cang turned around, looked at the girl, and smiled, âTake a good rest. Relatives are not allowed to visit in the ICU, so once youâre stable, weâll make arrangements.â
The woman smiled, âThank you, doctor, but⦠could you give me a painkiller injection? It hurts so much. How come I have so many injuries, was I in a car accident?â
â¦
â¦
Li Baoshan led Chen Cang and others back to the emergency department to begin contacting the family.
The family, who hadnât rested all night, had just returned home and laid down when they heard the news that their daughter had woken up.
They immediately hurried to the hospital.
After the middle-aged man came in, Li Baoshan said,
âShe has amnesia.â
That single sentence stunned the family.
Li Baoshan continued to explain, âBut donât worry, itâs selective amnesia. She has a clear memory of you all, but⦠she has forgotten her husband and those incidents.â
âShe even forgot the reason she was injured⦠and so on.â
The revelation left the three family members both shocked and overjoyed.
It wasnât a bad thing!
Everyone was clear about that.
The man couldnât help but ask, âThen⦠howâs my daughterâs health?â
After some thought, Li Baoshan said, âAt the moment, sheâs out of danger, but with rhabdomyolysis and the bruises on her body, she will need a rather lengthy treatment process. However, itâs not very dangerous anymore.â
The manâs eyes lit up upon hearing this.
At this time, the police also arrived. After coming in and looking at Chen Cang, one officer said, âThank you for your assistance, comrade. We have now filed the case, and your notes and the disability assessment have been of great help to us. The higher-ups are placing great importance on this incident and will handle it rigorously!â
Afterwards, Chen Cang briefed the police on the medical condition again.
The womanâs family began to communicate and negotiate with the police.
They hoped that the woman would not have to appear in court to avoid secondary trauma caused by these events.
However, the police officer couldnât decide on his own.
He could only go back and discuss it with his superiors.
At three oâclock in the afternoon, the manâs family came in and said to Chen Cang, âDr. Chen, we want to transfer to another hospital.â
Chen Cang was taken aback, âTransfer? To where?â
The man sighed and managed a grateful smile, âThank heavens for giving Lily such a good outcome. We donât want her staying in this city. Weâre taking her down south to a place where no one knows us to start over.â
After saying that, the man sat down firmly, âIâll let my wife and child go with our daughter. Iâm not leaving. I will stay and get justice for my girl!â
âHer injuries, her blood, shall not be in vain!â
âI will see to it with my own eyes that the beast is punished by the law!â
â¦
â¦
The man said a lot, and Chen Cang nodded.
After Li Baoshan arrived and thought it over, he also agreed to their request. After signing a bunch of informed consent forms, he allowed the discharge.
Later on,
It was a month later when, during a follow-up for the illness, Chen Cang learned that the family had moved to Chongqing. From the photos they sent back, one could see the girl smiling very happily.
Watching the news, Chen Cang also saw that the criminal suspect, Mr. Sun, was sentenced. It was just that⦠during his imprisonment, he developed a mental illness, and what happened after that remained unknown.
It wasnât until many years later, when the woman returned bringing along a boy who resembled her greatly.
By this time, Chen Cang was no longer at the Second Provincial Hospital; Wang Yong received her.
By then, Wang Yong had become the deputy director of the emergency department.
Using Wang Yongâs phone, the woman called Chen Cang to say thank you. Her memory had recovered, but she had also moved on.
She had a happy family, a loving husband, and a cute sonâ¦
After receiving the news, Chen Cang smiled.

PS: May they be happy.
Thank you for your support and also thanks to all the readers for your reminders. Please donât stir up trouble anymore, thank you. I finished writing at 12 last night and didnât sleep until 3 because I kept receiving messages from friends telling me not to write nonsense. Thank you all, I have made revisions, there is no overstepping, and it will not happen.
The book is both a carrier and a medium, and I hope to write about the life I want to see.
Lastly, I hope everyone supports the author and supports Chen Cang.
