Chapter 222: Did She Remember Him?

Chapter 222: Did She Remember Him?

Mu Feng was seething. He cannot believe that an outsider would chase him out of the hospital.

"Big Brother, thank you for dropping by straight from the airport. Please go home and rest first. I will be out tomorrow." Mu Lan said gently.

Mu Feng’s anger dissipated. He smiled and said. "I will go then. Take care of yourself and sleep early." Mu Feng stood and headed for the door. He still closed the door gently despite the urge to slam it.

The nanny did not return during the night. Mu Lan slept right after Mu Feng left. The bodyguard turned off the main light and just left the light near the headboard open. When Mu Lan’s breathing became even, the bodyguard stretched out his hand to gently caress her cheek.

His hand moved slowly to her protruding belly. He placed his big hand over her stomach. He felt the baby kicked and his heart skipped a bit. He felt a strange emotion engulfed him. He pressed his hand a little bit harder. The baby kicked again! He closed his eyes and immerse himself in the wonderful feeling of experiencing his baby’s kick.

Mulan stirred on the bed and he quickly retracted his hand. He sit on the chair beside the bed and his gaze was fixed on the peaceful face of the woman he missed for so many nights. He released a long sigh as he continued to gaze upon the beauty that was lying on the bed.

Erik remembered the days he spent looking for her. He remembered the long and lonely nights that he endured in the last few months. He was living a miserable life and then he found her. Even though she lost her memory and did not recognize him, he was still happy. He was pulled out of hell and brought back to earth.

"Did you know how much I suffered because of you? Don’t ever disappear again." He leaned forward and kissed her gently on the forehead. He closed his eyes and sighed as flashes of the hellish life he experienced in the last few months appeared in his mind. He was grateful that all of those came to pass.

Meanwhile, at the Mu Mansion, the first thing that Mu Feng did was to look for his grandfather. He was at his study reading a newspaper.

"Grandpa, why did you hire a bodyguard for Mu Lan? The man you hired is also very arrogant. I can’t believe he chased me out of the hospital!"

"What? He chased you out?" Mu Heng asked in surprise.

"He told me that I just came from abroad and that I might carry some viruses that might harm Mu Lan and her baby. The audacity!" Mu Feng was fuming. Smoke was coming out of his ears.

"Well, he is right after all. You just came from the outside and went straight to her. What if you indeed have acquired a virus? You are going to put my great-grandson at risk." Grandpa Mu Heng reprimanded him.

"Grandpa! You are even siding with an outsider!" Mu Feng shouted indignantly.

"Didn’t you recognize the bodyguard?" his grandpa adjusted his tone and asked him curtly.

Mu Feng frowned. When he thought about it, the bodyguard looked familiar, and his aura was too intimidating that he subconsciously remembered the man they had met in Paris.

"The guard, is he ... is he... Erik Lee?" Mu Feng stammered.

The old man did not answer and just snorted. He looked at his grandson with disdain. He thought he was smart but he looked like an idiot at that moment.

"How did he find her? Did you have someone contact him?" Mu Feng threw his grandfather an accusing look.

Mu Heng glared at his grandson. "Why should I contact him? Erik was here for business collaboration. He might have seen Mu Lan’s endorsement. I don’t how he recognized her but they met in the restaurant. It triggered some memories and Mu Lan could not stand the stimulation and fainted. Blame your younger brother. If he did not arrange for them to meet, how could this happen?"

"Is it Mu Chen?" Mu Feng barked angrily.

"Well, it is not his fault. He did not know it was him." Mu Heng was quick to defend his younger grandson. "Maybe it was fate that brought them together again. If it was me, with the change in hairstyle and makeup, I will not be able to determine that Mu Lan and Aryana Jones are the same person. They have some semblance but not obvious to me."

Mu Feng thought for a while and did not argue with his grandfather.

"Grandpa, are you still going to hold the banquet for Sister Mu Lan?" Mu Feng asked, a crease appearing on his forehead.

"Why are you asking?"

"I just feel that Sister Lan’s condition is very delicate. What if something happens during the banquet and it will affect Sister’s health?"

Mu Heng looked at his grandson thoughtfully. He was thinking the same thing. His other granddaughter was very willful and unruly. What if she creates trouble for Mu Lan.

"You finally make some sense. I am also thinking about that. We can present our granddaughter when her child turns one month old. The banquet is to welcome both of them."

Since his grandfather readily agreed, Mu Feng did not linger in the study. He left and retired to his bedroom on the second floor.

Back at the hospital, Erik was still guarding the sleeping patient. He was lightly holding her hand. He was afraid to hold her hand tightly as it might wake her up. He didn’t want to let go because he was afraid that she might disappear again.

Aryana stirred on the bed. She was muttering inaudibly and her forehead was wet with perspiration.

’Is she having a nightmare?’ Erik was worried. His hold on her hand tightened.

"Yana wake up. Yana, you are having a nightmare!"

The woman on the bed was groaning. Her fingers moved. They closed on his hand and the moment it did, it was difficult to pry them open, not that he wanted to do that.

"Erik!" Aryana opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Erik blankly at first, and then her gaze was filled with longing and love.

Erik’s heartbeat stopped for a moment.

"Yana..."
