She had been completely moved out of the ICU.
According to all the test results, Cecilia Gu had fully recovered.
The memory implantation was a success.
When Cecilia Gu woke up for the second time, the first thing she saw was a room full of people.
Cecilia Gu looked around in confusion, and finally her gaze settled on Mrs. Yun.
"Mom." Cecilia Gu called out softly.
"Yes, darling." Mrs. Yun's tears fell instantly. Her child recognized her the moment she woke up—how could she not be overjoyed? "Sweetheart, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Cecilia Gu shook her head and turned to look at Mr. Yun. "Dad."
Mr. Yun nodded vigorously. "Yes."
Cecilia Gu's gaze landed on Grandma Yun. A hint of struggle flashed in her eyes, but she still called out, "Grandma."
Grandma Yun nodded.
But when Cecilia Gu's eyes passed over Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Evelyn Yin, she was completely at a loss.
She didn't remember them anymore.
Her gaze dropped again, finally landing on Charles Yin.
That unbelievably handsome, tall man, whose eyes were filled with endless sorrow... Who was he?
Why was he looking at her like that?
Charles Yin leaned silently against the wall, his whole demeanor bleak and desolate.
A mist of tears clouded his eyes—he had already heard fate's verdict.
She really had forgotten him.
She truly... didn't remember anymore...
"Hello, I'm Yun Xi." She didn't know why, but even though it was her first time meeting this man, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. So, she spoke instinctively, "Who are you?"
A sharp pain tore through Charles Yin's chest, sweeping over his entire body.
The pain made Charles Yin clench his fingers tightly; his nose tingled, and he almost burst into tears right then and there.
"Hello, my name is Charles Yin. Can I call you Xi Xi from now on?" Charles Yin held back his tears, forced a smile, and spoke gently, "Actually, Xi Xi suits you even better."
Cecilia Gu tilted her head, thinking for a while. It felt as if, deep in her memories, somewhere unknown, someone was frantically calling her Xi Xi...
Who was that person?
Cecilia Gu didn't answer Charles Yin's question; her gaze shifted and landed on Max Mo.
When she saw Max Mo, upright and gentle in demeanor, her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly, "Brother Max..."
Max Mo's whole body trembled!
Max Mo clearly remembered that Nora Yun used to call him that.
Max Mo quickly glanced at Grandma Yun, and Grandma Yun silently nodded.
During the memory implantation, Cecilia Gu's template was based on Nora Yun.
So, Cecilia Gu is now a fusion of the reborn Nora Yun and her original self.
"Xi Xi, I'm so glad you still remember me." Max Mo glanced discreetly at Charles Yin, then squatted down and gently held Cecilia Gu's hand. "Let's go home, okay?"
Cecilia Gu nodded, trust shining in her clear eyes.
At that moment, two people rushed in from outside the door.
It was none other than Rona Muir and Sophie Mo.
Standing in front of Cecilia Gu, Rona Muir asked urgently, "Xi Xi, do you still remember who I am?"
Cecilia Gu stared blankly at Rona Muir, not responding for a long time.
Sophie Mo leaned in as well. "Then, Xi Xi, do you still remember me?"
Cecilia Gu nodded and said, "Sophie, of course I know you!"
Sophie...
Sophie Mo's expression suddenly changed, and she blurted out, "Are you Sister Nora?"
No, how could that be? How could she be Sister Nora?
Cecilia Gu's gaze turned confused. "Why are you calling me Sister Nora? I'm Yun Xi."
Boom... Rona Muir and Sophie Mo were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Mr. Yun suddenly spoke up, "Alright, Xi Xi just woke up. Her memory is still unstable, so let's not disturb her rest. Let's go back for now."
Everyone left the room, each with their own thoughts.
After everyone left, Cecilia Gu lay in bed for a while. She slowly lifted the covers, got out of bed, and stood by the window to look at the scenery outside.
Outside, the spring breeze brushed the willows, everything full of hope.
Cecilia Gu reached out and touched her chest, feeling that something was off.
Her memory seemed to have a slight glitch.
Why did she remember some of those people, but not others at all?
And that man whose eyes were full of sadness... Why did seeing his sorrow make her heart ache?
Why would she feel heartache for a man she didn't even know?
The door creaked open, and Cecilia Gu turned around at the sound.
That man... that... man...
Charles Yin slowly walked toward Cecilia Gu and stood in front of her.
He wanted so badly to hold her, wanted so much... just to look at her properly, but he couldn't.
Seeing the wariness and distance in her eyes, Charles Yin felt his heart shattering, bit by bit.
"Remember this, Cecilia Gu. Whether you've truly forgotten me or you end up at the ends of the earth, I will find you again." Charles Yin looked at her, gritting his teeth. "I've already found the person who drugged you. Even if the mastermind hasn't shown up yet, it's fine—I'll keep her around so you can take revenge yourself."
Cecilia Gu stepped back, her wariness growing. "Why are you saying this to me? And what did you call me? My name isn't Cecilia Gu."
"No, your name is Cecilia Gu." Charles Yin corrected her, pausing between each word. "Remember what I said today. No one can tear us apart. No one!"
Cecilia Gu stared at Charles Yin in shock, then snapped, "You're so weird! You show up and say all this nonsense! Get out!"
Cecilia Gu tried to leave but found her way blocked. She could only reach out and try to push him aside.
The moment her fingers touched his chest, a strange sense of familiarity swept through Cecilia Gu's whole body!
Cecilia Gu froze instantly.
That sense of familiarity... Why did it feel so familiar?
Just then, Cecilia Gu felt a sharp pain like a needle stabbing her brain. The pain made her body convulse, and she screamed, collapsing to the floor!
Charles Yin hadn't expected Cecilia Gu to collapse so suddenly, and he rushed to catch her!
Immediately, a crowd burst in from outside and rushed Cecilia Gu to the emergency room, turning on all the equipment!
Max Mo rushed in too. Seeing Cecilia Gu being wheeled back into the emergency room, he turned and saw Charles Yin standing there, stunned. Suddenly, he understood.
Without any hesitation, Max Mo punched Charles Yin!
Charles Yin didn't dodge—he took the punch head-on.
"You idiot! Xi Xi just woke up and you dare to provoke her! Do you know if her memory isn't stable and she gets stimulated, she could split her personality, she could really go mad?" Max Mo pointed at Charles Yin, losing all composure and shouting, "Charles Yin, if anything happens to Xi Xi, I will never forgive you!"
Charles Yin's heart sank heavily!
His gaze swept over Cecilia Gu, who was like a small boat tossed in a storm, about to capsize at any moment.
"Xi Xi, I won't give up." Charles Yin wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes full of resolve as he vowed to himself.
In the emergency room, Dr. Grant said urgently, "Unstable memories can cause personality fragmentation. We must return immediately."
Mr. Yun didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately gave orders—everyone was to leave the mainland!
In her coma, Cecilia Gu returned once more to that white world.
"Who am I, really? Am I Yun Xi, or Cecilia Gu?" She gently raised her hand, wanting to touch this world again.
But this time, the world had no color, no images—just emptiness.
"Are these memories really mine?" Cecilia Gu muttered to herself. "Why do I feel like my memories shouldn't be this way?"
"Did I forget something else? Was it the most important thing to me?" Cecilia Gu pondered. "Looks like I need to find those lost memories!"
In the emergency room, several machines started beeping sharply, especially the EEG monitor.
A researcher spoke up quickly, "Not good! The patient's brainwaves are abnormal. She's desperately trying to awaken her sleeping memories. In her current state, if she wakes up those memories, it could wipe her entire memory bank and leave her truly brain-dead!"
Dr. Grant made a snap decision: "Initiate memory sealing and begin hypnosis procedure!"
"Director! Are you sure? If we use hypnosis, the implanted memory template will disappear once it's lifted!" The researcher couldn't help but remind Dr. Grant.
"There's no time for that now. Her future will depend on fate! If we don't seal her memories now, she'll become brain-dead, and all our hard work will be wasted!" Dr. Grant frowned. "Hypnotist, get ready—begin hypnosis!"
Tick, tick, tick...
It was all over.
That day's headline in N City jolted everyone awake.
Yin Enterprises CEO gets divorced!
Yin Enterprises officially announced that all company power would be handed over to the third-generation heir, Charles Yin, who would serve as Chairman and CEO.
Yin Enterprises announced the fourth-generation heir as the newborn baby, Ethan Yin.
These headlines shocked everyone to their core.
No one knew what really happened; they only knew that everything was about to change.
While unconscious, Cecilia Gu and the machines were transferred onto a plane, and with the Mo Family's help, they flew straight to a small island in Indonesia.
Only there could Cecilia Gu's memory and body be further stabilized.
Charles Yin locked himself in his room, not eating, drinking, or sleeping for three whole days and nights.
No one dared disturb him.
Three days later, when Charles Yin opened his door...
The gentle CEO was gone. The former cold emperor had returned.
Many people, hearing about Charles Yin's divorce, started scheming to get close to him, trying to set him up with women.
Too bad—anyone who tried ended up in deep trouble!
Charles Yin became a workaholic, spending all his time at work and rarely going home.
The villa where he and Cecilia Gu once lived was completely sealed off—no one dared mention it.
That was Cecilia Gu's house. In this world, no other woman was qualified to live there.
