Autumn Wind wanted to hold Fish and cry, but she didn't dare. She was really afraid that a moment of carelessness would expose her act of pretending to have amnesia to Fish.
This woman with a keen sense of smell could always detect scents that Autumn Wind was unaware of.
"Why are you here?" Autumn Wind asked, putting away her emotions.
"Well... I ran into Sister Sally at the front gate. She said something happened to you!"
"Did she tell you everything?" Autumn Wind whispered, pressing for more information.
"Yes... everything will be okay!" Fish reached out to stroke Autumn Wind's hair. "Everything will be okay!!"
Autumn Wind looked up at Fish and noticed the complex emotions in her eyes. "You? Is something wrong?"
Hearing Autumn Wind ask about her, Fish suddenly broke down. She sobbed, " Autumn Wind, can you take me in? I have nowhere to go!"
Autumn Wind reached out to wipe Fish's tears. "What happened?"
"I..." Fish looked up at Autumn Wind, sniffed, and began to recount what had happened after she went to America.
Fish found Leo's home in America, but when she proposed to him, Leo flatly denied her and even refused her request for a DNA test without hesitation.
Fish started crying again. Seeing his mother in tears, Oke obediently crawled into Fish's arms. "Mommy, don't cry. Oke will make you feel better!"
Seeing Fish's sad expression, Autumn Wind wanted to comfort and guide her, but thinking about her current role, she suppressed that thought.
Then she opened her mouth wide and feigned surprise. "You are Oke, the child of you and Leo!"
Upon hearing this from Autumn Wind, Fish's mouth dropped open in shock. "You..." But she quickly remembered what Qiu Ruolan had told her about Autumn Wind's amnesia.
Thus, her shock turned into a hint of melancholy as she recounted everything that had happened during Autumn Wind's amnesia without leaving out a single detail.
Of course, it also includes her divorce and the fact that after Autumn Wind got engaged, Liu Jian secretly sent photos to the reporters.
As soon as Liu Jian was mentioned, the expression on Fish's face mirrored that of Qiu Ruolan, gritting her teeth and filled with anger. "How dare he treat you like that!"
Fish bent down to pick up the Newspaper from the ground, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can.
Seeing Fish's actions, Autumn Wind smiled lightly, as if the wind and clouds were calm.
When Fish turned her head and saw Autumn Wind's smile, she couldn't help but smile back. "So you promised to take me in?"
"Taking you in? That would have to be arranged by Sister Sally! After I get out of the hospital, I'll be living at her place too. Do you think I'm better off than you?" Autumn Wind sighed deeply. "Sigh... right now, I truly have nothing!"
She gently placed her hand on her belly while looking at Oke. "At least you still have Oke, how wonderful!"
"Hey, why so serious?" Fish picked up Oke and sat at the end of the bed, blinking her eyes. "You still call her Sister Sally!"
"What should I call her then..." Autumn Wind stared wide-eyed.
"Shouldn't you call her 'Mom'?" Fish said, slowing down her speech. "Actually, when I found out about your relationship with Sister Sally, I felt quite hurt. I didn't expect you would deceive me... Sigh, but that's all in the past!"
These words pierced Autumn Wind's heart like a needle.
"If I ever deceive you again, will you ignore me?" Autumn Wind asked slowly.
Fish gently patted Oke, thought for a moment, and said earnestly, "No, everyone has secrets, right?"
Everyone has secrets! Autumn Wind could hardly believe such profound words came from Fish; they were so deep and touching.
As she blinked, tears welled up in her eyes once more.
"Don't cry, you haven't answered me yet!" Fish looked at Autumn Wind's reddened eyes.
"Answer you? Answer you what?" Autumn Wind quickly wiped her tears and replied in confusion.
"Just take me in... Am I really that homeless?"
Fish's family had strict upbringing. When Fish married Xu Zhongyao, she faced unanimous opposition from her family. Now, divorced and with a child, she was still a misfortunate wild child.
Thinking of this, Autumn Wind didn't hesitate to agree, "Well... but you still have to talk to Sister Sally!"
"That's good enough! Who in Taipei doesn't know you're Sister Sally's darling?" Fish blinked, "If you agree, she will definitely be fine with it!"
Fish rushed to the hotel she often stayed at in Taipei after the incident with Autumn Wind, not bothering to pack her luggage, and fell asleep holding the exhausted Oke.
The next morning, all the entertainment sections of the newspapers featured images of Qiu Ruolan with tears streaming down her face: "Car accident," "miscarriage," "heartless man," mixed with the names of Autumn Wind and Liu Jian.
Fish felt that if she didn't speak up, something had happened to Autumn Wind. She tried to find a friend she knew to ask about the hospital where Autumn Wind was staying. The person acted like a gossip reporter, first asking her about Autumn Wind's injuries—everyone knew that Fish and Autumn Wind had a deep bond.
It wasn't until this morning that Fish passed by the television station holding Oke and happened to run into Qiu Ruolan, who finally told her the address of the hospital where Autumn Wind was admitted.
"Alright then! I want to check out tomorrow. Do you want to go back and pack up? We can go directly to my house tomorrow!" Autumn Wind looked at Oke sleeping sweetly in Fish's arms.
She reached out to touch his face, "So cute!"
"Then I'll go back and pack up first!" Fish thought for a moment and decided to return to the hotel to gather her things. She stood up, holding Oke, and walked out of the ward.
Autumn Wind watched Fish and her child leave, their footsteps growing fainter until they could no longer be heard.
Sigh! Autumn Wind let out a breath. The adorable image of Oke suddenly floated before her eyes—his chubby face instantly pricked at Autumn Wind's nerves.
It’s not just a life; it’s the sudden departure of a friend after four months of companionship. Anyone who encounters this would feel distressed!
Autumn Wind lay flat, closed her eyes, and placed her hands on her abdomen, repeatedly stroking it while silently murmuring: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well!
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, then slid down to her neck, cold and painful.
In a daze, Autumn Wind suddenly felt the ward door being pushed open. She squinted and sensed a tall figure walking towards her.
The outline looked remarkably like Qiu Mowen. Ah, so I was dreaming...
He actually appeared in my dream, and the suppressed longing deep within Autumn Wind spread wildly upon realizing it was a dream.
Autumn Wind wanted to sit up and talk to Qiu Mowen, but her body felt as if a stone was pressing down on it, unable to move.
She knew Qiu Mowen was staring at her face. Oh no, I just cried; I must look terrible. She wanted to reach up and wipe away her tears, but her hand was also frozen.
Qiu Mowen stared at Autumn Wind for a while, let out a long sigh, and leaned down to gently kiss her forehead.
The pleasant scent of a man filled Autumn Wind's nostrils, so real it was hard to believe; this wasn’t a dream, it definitely wasn’t a dream...
Autumn Wind tried hard to open her eyes wide, but they felt glued shut, only seeing a hazy figure slowly walking towards the door.
“No, please, please don’t go…” Autumn Wind shook her head and struggled to plead; an inexplicable force seemed to choke her voice.
“Ah…” Autumn Wind let out a cry as her eyes suddenly opened. Without thinking, she quickly turned to look at the door; it was tightly closed—there was no sign of Qiu Mowen’s voice.
So it was just a dream! Autumn Wind, gasping for breath, propped herself up. Her back was drenched in sweat from this nightmare.
“Ah…” As she propped herself up and turned her head back, she screamed loudly again.
By her bedside stood a man.
It was the Umbrella Man.
Seeing Autumn Wind wake up in a sweat, the man smiled slightly and reached out to hand her a tissue from the bedside. "Did you have a nightmare?"
Autumn Wind took the tissue, sighed in relief, and did not answer his question. She simply lowered her head and silently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The Umbrella Man did not continue speaking; he just quietly watched Autumn Wind.
Feeling his gaze, which was somewhat intense and uncomfortable, Autumn Wind slightly leaned forward, wanting to throw the used tissue into the trash can.
The Umbrella Man noticed her intention. He swiftly took the tissue from her hand, walked briskly to the trash can, and elegantly tossed it in.
Autumn Wind forced a smile to express her gratitude. As her gaze shifted, she noticed a bouquet of flowers on the windowsill of the hospital room that she couldn't name.
A faint floral scent wafted through the air. Autumn Wind took a deep breath, realizing that the fragrance in her dream was reminiscent of Qiu Mowen's body scent!
The light in her eyes faded, and Autumn Wind's expression turned dull as she gazed at the bouquet, letting out a long, drawn-out sigh.
"Are you feeling better?" a gentle voice sounded beside her.
Autumn Wind shifted her gaze to the Umbrella Man. He was dressed in an expensive suit, indicating that his status was either wealthy or noble.
Compared to the haziness in the rain, Autumn Wind could clearly see the man's flamboyant charm and the half-smile on his handsome face.
She quietly observed him for a moment, furrowing her brow before asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The corners of the Umbrella Man's mouth curled up as he let out a cold snicker. "Sister Qiu really doesn't remember me..."
Autumn Wind replied calmly, "Why should I remember you?"
Umbrella Man shrugged, "Well, it seems I'm not very popular. Sigh, I feel like I have some unavoidable responsibility in the car accident... Since Sister Qiu doesn't appreciate my kindness, there's really no point in me staying here."
He started to walk towards the hospital room door, but after a few steps, he turned back. Raising an eyebrow, he leaned in close to Autumn Wind, almost touching her face. "Oh, by the way, this is my car's Claim Notification... If Sister Qiu has time, she can take a look!"
Being too close, Umbrella Man exhaled warm breath that gently brushed against Autumn Wind's eyes, causing her to panic and shut them tightly.
The sight of Autumn Wind with her eyes closed once again drew a cold laugh from the man. A hint of a frivolous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "No need to be so enchanting; I didn't plan on making you pay. I just wanted to let you know that you damaged my car..."
After finishing his sentence, Umbrella Man straightened up and walked towards the door.
The door to the hospital room was slammed shut with a loud bang.
From the moment he stepped out of the room, Umbrella Man's previously smiling face instantly turned as cold as a stormy sky.
His face was pale, and his gaze was sharp as an eagle's as he strode powerfully into Autumn Wind's Attending Physician's office...
After a brief stay of a few minutes, he emerged from the doctor's office, his face expressionless and indifferent.
Furrowing his brow slightly, he quickly walked to the elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.
