"The other things are not serious. We took a CT scan of the head, there's a hematoma inside. I suggest going to a better hospital in the city for further observation," said the doctor from the county hospital to Xu Zhaodi.

"Is it serious?" Xu Zhaodi asked nervously.

"It's hard to say. Some hematomas dissipate on their own over time, while others, if they pose risks, might require surgery to remove. If surgery is needed, brain surgery is not a minor procedure..." the doctor explained.

After all the tests, Xu Zhaodi had already spent several thousand yuan. Now, she needed to go to a better hospital in the city. Just the thought made her scalp tingle, sensing a bleak future ahead.

"Can she stay here today and be sent to the city tomorrow?" Xu Zhaodi asked the doctor from the county hospital.

"All her indicators are stable for now. Sending her to the city tomorrow shouldn't be a problem," the doctor replied.

Entering the ward, Xu Zhaodi took a proper look at the woman she had glimpsed earlier. She realized she was exceptionally beautiful, with a head wrapped in bandages. She was tall, at least 1.7 meters, and though her clothes were somewhat dirty, she still looked very elegant and fashionable, like a female celebrity. Her face resembled that of a celebrity even more. Although Xu Zhaodi didn't recognize any of the luxury brands on her, having worked in a garment factory, she knew the fabric was top-notch. Selling pancakes every day on the street, Xu Zhaodi had seen all kinds of people, so she could tell at a glance that this woman was very wealthy, either born into privilege or married well, given her stunning appearance.

Seeing such a wealthy woman, and judging by her appearance, Xu Zhaodi knew she wasn't someone to mess with. Beautiful yet seemingly cold-hearted, she wasn't someone they could afford to provoke. Suddenly, Xu Zhaodi had a thought: leave this woman here and run away. After all, she was in the hospital, with no life-threatening concerns.

Before fleeing, Xu Zhaodi felt a pang of conscience and decided to inform the woman's family. However, she couldn't find any identification or belongings on the woman to contact them.

She called her brother, asking him to check the accident scene, but he didn't find anything either. In the end, Xu Zhaodi decided to give up. Well, this woman seemed so wealthy that once she woke up, she could contact her family herself, and they would surely take her to the best hospital and find the best doctors. With this self-justified thought, Xu Zhaodi guiltily glanced at the woman still unconscious on the hospital bed, preparing to slip away.

But as she sneaked out of the hospital and walked home, Xu Zhaodi couldn't shake off her guilty conscience.

"Sister, what happened?" Xu Chengzong couldn't sleep, waiting for his sister to come back. Though he had caused trouble for her before, he had never caused such a big mess.

"She's not dead, but the situation isn't good either. Even if we escape this responsibility, can you really be at ease?" Xu Zhaodi asked heavily. She felt she needed to teach her brother a lesson; otherwise, he wouldn't learn. She just hoped that the beautiful woman's hematoma wasn't serious; otherwise, she would truly have a troubled conscience.

Xu Chengzong's face also showed a serious expression. He hadn't imagined things would escalate to this extent, feeling some regret in his heart.

"So... what do we do?" Xu Chengzong asked hesitantly.

Xu Zhaodi glanced at him but said nothing, entering her room and leaving Xu Chengzong alone with his unease.

In her room, Xu Zhaodi looked around. It was a two-bedroom apartment she rented, not in the city center, so the rent was relatively affordable. Despite being old, she kept it tidy and clean.

Staring at herself in the mirror, Xu Zhaodi had never felt so exhausted. Both physically and mentally drained, she felt like she had struggled in poverty and busyness since she could remember. Every time life seemed to get a bit better, a huge wave would come crashing, leaving her unable to get back up.

But Xu Zhaodi felt that although she had physically left the hospital, her conscience had nowhere to escape. She always believed there was a higher power watching over. Splashing cold water on her face, she tried to gather herself and decided to go back to the hospital tomorrow. It wasn't as severe as it could have been; the woman wasn't dead or paralyzed. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. She would figure out the compensation later, even though she doubted she could afford it.

The next day, prepared for the worst, Xu Zhaodi returned to the county hospital. However, instead of facing a hefty compensation, she encountered another unexpected event: the woman who had regained consciousness had amnesia.

As Shi Yunyang woke up, the first face she saw was Xu Zhaodi's—a woman who wasn't particularly good-looking but also not ugly.

Who am I? And who are you? Shi Yunyang found herself unable to remember anything, feeling very unsettled.

Seeing Shi Yunyang awake, Xu Zhaodi immediately approached.

"Do you feel any discomfort?" Xu Zhaodi asked.

"My head hurts a bit, but nothing else," Shi Yunyang replied.

"What's your family's phone number? I'll help you notify them," Xu Zhaodi still thought it was best to inform the patient's family as soon as possible.

Family? Shi Yunyang looked at Xu Zhaodi blankly, her mind completely blank, unable to recall anything about her own family.

"Do you know who I am? Why can't I remember anything?" Shi Yunyang asked, bewildered and anxious.

What's going on!? Xu Zhaodi had a bad feeling and immediately called for a doctor.

"Do you not know your own name? Where you live? What you do? How old you are?" Xu Zhaodi asked several questions in succession.

Shi Yunyang shook her head to all of them, feeling a headache whenever she tried to remember.

Clearly, the doctors at the county hospital were useless. They immediately suggested Xu Zhaodi take Shi Yunyang to a better hospital in the city for further examination.

Xu Zhaodi had no choice but to take Shi Yunyang to the best hospital in the city.

On the way, Shi Yunyang looked at Xu Zhaodi's serious expression and cautiously tugged at her clothes. After all, this woman's complexion looked as grim as if she had lost her father. Smart as she was, Shi Yunyang felt she needed to be careful until she figured out this woman's temperament. Otherwise, if this woman abandoned her, she would be in big trouble with no memory of anything. Xu Zhaodi glanced at Shi Yunyang. Although she was exceptionally beautiful, Xu Zhaodi had no mood to appreciate it. Right now, even a hen looked more pleasing to her eyes than Shi Yunyang. After all, a hen wouldn't bring as much trouble, whereas this woman was trouble she couldn't shake off no matter how hard she tried. Still, Xu Zhaodi maintained a polite attitude towards Shi Yunyang; after all, they had wronged her.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Zhaodi asked with a pleasant expression.

"I'm hungry..." Shi Yunyang whispered softly. Her stomach was growling; she had been hungry for a long time, but she didn't dare say anything earlier, seeing Xu Zhaodi's troubled expression when she came out of the hospital.

"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go buy two steamed buns." Actually, Xu Zhaodi's stomach was also growling, but she had no appetite and hadn't bothered to eat.

Xu Zhaodi asked Shi Yunyang to wait at the entrance of the county hospital while she ran to buy buns nearby. When Xu Zhaodi returned with four buns, she saw someone chatting up the woman. The woman had a cold expression, looking very annoyed. Xu Zhaodi hurried over, thinking to herself that this woman was indeed extraordinarily beautiful. Then, holding the buns in her hand, she rushed towards the woman.

As Shi Yunyang waited, she felt like she had been waiting for a long time, fearing that the woman would leave. After all, at this moment, she felt like a floating log, without memories, feeling very insecure, and the longer she waited, the more anxious she became.

Finally, after about seven or eight minutes, Shi Yunyang spotted the slender, frail-looking woman in the crowd. Thin and malnourished, she looked like she lacked nutrition. But upon seeing Xu Zhaodi, Shi Yunyang felt a surge of joy.

"You finally came back. I've been waiting for you for so long," Shi Yunyang said, even though she had no memory, she knew she must dislike waiting for others.

"The buns near the hospital weren't very good, so I went a bit farther to buy them," Xu Zhaodi explained to Shi Yunyang, although she didn't think she had kept Shi Yunyang waiting too long.
