"Huh?" Louis Lin was startled. "What illness?"
Lily Bai's medical skills had already earned the trust of everyone in the manor, so Louis Lin didn't suspect for a moment that she was just making things up to get him talking.
"Amnesia," Grace said.
"Amnesia? I don't have amnesia!" Louis Lin looked completely baffled. "My mind is clear—I remember everything!"
"How about this, let me give you a diagnosis, okay?"
"How do you diagnose it? By feeling my pulse?" Louis Lin held out both his hands.
"Amnesia doesn't show up in your pulse."
"Then how do you diagnose it?"
"I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them all, you're fine. If you can't, then we need to take it seriously!" Grace said with a straight face.
"O-okay! Ask away!" Louis Lin was clearly nervous.
"What dishes did you eat the night before last?"
"Huh? The night before last... the night before last, I ate at the restaurant. There were tons of dishes!" Louis Lin replied.
"Where did you go and what did you do the morning half a month ago?"
"Half a month ago... Wasn't I at your place, asking you to come back and treat Sophie's face?" Louis Lin really did have a good memory.
"Let me ask you something further back—what did you do on May First?"
"May First?" Louis Lin answered without thinking, "At the palace! Our General was supposed to meet someone at Moonwater Abbey, but then the Celestial Omen appeared, and the Emperor summoned him to the palace. He didn't come back until evening!"
Getting the answer she wanted so quickly, Grace perked up and widened her eyes, asking, "You mean the General was supposed to meet someone at Moonwater Abbey, but he didn't go?"
"That's right!"
"And he didn't go because... the Celestial Omen happened?"
"That's right! Absolutely!" Louis Lin repeated. "I might forget other things, but how could I forget what happened on May First? That whole event was epic! I still remember it like it was yesterday!"
"What was so epic? The phenomenon in the sky?" Grace asked, puzzled.
"Of course! Didn't you see it?"
Grace shook her head.
"That's such a shame! Let me tell you, that day, right above Danyang City, a mirage suddenly appeared out of nowhere—do you know what a mirage is?" Louis Lin asked.
Grace nodded.
"A mirage appeared in the sky—a raging sea of fire—and then, out of the flames, an Azure Phoenix flew out, its whole body ablaze, soaring through the heavens. It was stunning! And right after that, the General was summoned by the Emperor, so he couldn't make his appointment..." Louis Lin said.
As Louis Lin spoke, Grace's mouth slowly dropped open, unable to close.
A sea of fire? Azure Phoenix?
Why did she feel like this 'Celestial Omen' was somehow related to her?
Wasn't she burned to death by fire?
Her name was Grace.
An Azure Phoenix flying out of the fire—it matched perfectly with how she was reborn after being burned to death!
Could it be that the Celestial Omen happened because of her rebirth?
"When did the mirage appear? What time?" Grace asked again.
"Hmm... almost noon," Louis Lin replied.
Hearing this, Grace was even more certain.
Because she woke up reborn exactly at noon...
So Evan Xiao missed his meeting at Moonwater Abbey because of the Celestial Omen.
And the Celestial Omen happened because of her rebirth.
......
It's just like when she predicted Evan Xiao would face disaster, and then he avoided it—it's a damn unsolvable loop...
Damn!
