Life Without Past Memories Chapter 2

The menu in his hand was a little unclear, but the sun was shining brightly on the terrace by the sea. Many couples were dining here, and the air was filled with happiness. Alex Chu was trying to read the words on the menu when he suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind. Jason Zhong was wearing a blue casual outfit, with a slender figure and outstanding temperament, but he was holding the hand of a woman in a red dress.

"Jason Zhong!" Alex Chu was furious. He overturned the table and rushed over, grabbing the other person by the collar.

Jason Zhong turned around and was startled by the blood on his handsome face. But the man seemed to be unaware of it, just staring at him blankly, frowning and asking, "Who are you?"

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and Alex Chu suddenly opened his eyes.

The sunlight shone directly on his face through the window. He squinted his eyes for a moment to adjust before opening them. What he saw was the white wall and the water-hanging bracket. It turned out to be a dream...

Alex Chu exhaled and felt pain all over his body, especially in his chest, which made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Brother Qin, you're awake! Woohoo, I was scared to death!" Sitting next to the bed was a baby-faced boy in his early twenties, but still looked like a teenager. It was his assistant Ryan Hou.

"It hurts..." Alex Chu's lips turned pale in pain, and he had no time to comfort the frightened assistant.

"Oh oh!" Ryan Hou came back to his senses, jumped up, and ran while shouting, "Doctor, my brother wakes up and he says he's in pain. Can you give him some painkillers?" The voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the corridor.

"Eat it, give him one pill." The doctor came out of the duty room and whispered helplessly.

Soon, Ryan Hou ran back like a gust of wind, picked up the medicine box on the bedside, took out the painkillers, and poured him a glass of warm water.

Alex Chu tried to sit up, but the pain made him break out in a sweat. He could only let Ryan Hou hold up his head and reluctantly swallowed the medicine. After a while, the painkillers took effect and he felt much better.

"The doctor said that your sixth rib is fractured, but it's just a crack, not broken. You'll be able to move around freely in two weeks, but it'll take another month and a half to fully recover," Ryan Hou repeated the doctor's words honestly. This was the only thing about him as an assistant. He remembered things well. "Sister Sophie Lin was here last night, and Brother Zhu came to deliver a can of soup this morning. The leaders of the station..."

"Where's Jason Zhong?" Alex Chu interrupted Ryan Hou's chatter and asked with a frown. He remembered that Jason Zhong was hit on the head by a stick and fainted at the time. He was also seriously injured and could not hold on until Jason Zhong was sent to the hospital, and he also fainted.

"Mr. Zhong has a head injury and is not in this hospital." Ryan Hou scratched his head. He was only concerned about Alex Chu's affairs and had no time to take care of Jason Zhong.

The cell phone was thrown out of the car by the kidnapper yesterday. Alex Chu borrowed Ryan Hou's cell phone to call Jason Zhong, but no one answered, so he had to call Jason Zhong's secretary again.

"The president is still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said he's not in danger of death and will wake up in 48 hours," the secretary told him all the news she knew, "Can I visit you after get off work today?"

"Okay." Alex Chu wanted to refuse, after all, he was not very familiar with Secretary Nicole, but when he thought about it, this person was Jason Zhong's personal secretary, and he must be able to answer when the boss asked when he woke up, so coming to see him was also part of his job, so he let him go.

After finding out which hospital Jason Zhong was in, Alex Chu propped himself up and sat up, wanting to go over there and take a look.

"My dear brother, you have a fractured bone, do you understand what a fractured bone means?" Ryan Hou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly held him down. For injuries like rib fractures, you must stay in bed and rest, because ribs cannot be fixed with plaster.

Finally, the doctor came and persuaded Alex Chu to stop. The doctor severely criticized Alex Chu's behavior and asked him to stay in bed for at least a week before he could be discharged.

Alex Chu had no choice but to ask his assistant to buy him a new phone. The advantage of the fruit machine is that the address book is stored in the cloud, and all the contacts can be retrieved. Alex Chu made several calls in a row.

He first called the station leader to ask for leave, and the leader told him to have a good rest, and that someone else had been arranged to take charge of this week's program. Then he called an acquaintance in the media and told him not to publicize the matter and wait for the police to handle it. Finally, he was still worried, so he called his partner Sophie Lin.

"My brother Qin, I've been guarding you all night and I just closed my eyes!" Sophie Lin's sharp roar came from the other end of the phone.

Alex Chu's ears were hurt by the shock, so he put the phone away a little, waited for her to finish, and then stuck it back: "Hey, thank you for your hard work, I'll treat you to crayfish when I get better. Let's talk business, I can't go to the show this week, you apologize to a few guests on my behalf, Qian Ge will take over, he has more experience than you, don't compete with him for the limelight, understand?"

Sophie Lin was choked and rolled her eyes, burying her face in the pillow weakly: "I know..."

Ryan Hou peeled an apple so that he could eat it after he finished talking. In the end, he peeled two apples and ate one himself. The man hadn't finished his call yet, so he ate the other one silently.

After Ryan Hou ate two apples, a banana, cracked half a bag of melon seeds and a bag of pistachios, Alex Chu put down his phone reluctantly.

"Brother Qin..." Ryan Hou handed him a glass of water, "You're already injured like this, can't you worry less?" He had followed Alex Chu for only a short time, and he knew that Alex Chu was an easy-going person, but he didn't expect that he was so worrying. He noticed everything, from big things like the Gulf War and the White House election to small things like the loose garbage bags at Shengshi TV.

"You don't understand." Alex Chu narrowed his eyes calmly, took a deep breath and prepared to explain the philosophy of life to his assistant. Suddenly, his chest hurt and he couldn't breathe out in his throat, so he coughed violently twice.

"The doctor said I can't breathe too hard!"

I stayed in bed for two days, taking painkillers every day, and the pain was not so severe until the fourth day. However, there was still no news about Jason Zhong.

Secretary Nicole came twice and heard that Jason Zhong had woken up, but he didn't even see the secretary and went straight back to Zhong's house. But Jason Zhong's phone was not answered, and Secretary Nicole couldn't contact him.

Alex Chu felt that something was wrong and called Jason Zhong’s good friends, but the group of young masters were also confused.

"Didn't Erbing go out with you?" They tried to contact Jason Zhong, but it was Zhong's mother who answered the phone, saying that Jason Zhong had gone abroad and didn't take his phone with him.

The cell phone was in Zhong's mother's hands. She answered everyone else's calls except his. The meaning was self-evident.

Alex Chu knew that Zhong's mother didn't like him. Before he was kidnapped, Jason Zhong had just confronted his family. It was normal for Zhong's mother to not accept the fact that her son liked a man and to hate him.

There was no other way, he could only send a text message to Jason Zhong’s cell phone.

[Aunt, sorry to bother you. I am Alex Chu. I have no other intentions. I just want to know how Jason Zhong is doing. Please tell me.]

After a while, there was a reply. [He is fine, but his brain is a little damaged, so he can't see you for the time being.]

Brain damage... Alex Chu felt a buzzing in his head, threw back the quilt and walked out.

"It's only the sixth day, you can't be discharged from the hospital!" No matter how hard Ryan Hou tried to persuade him, he couldn't do anything. He could only resign himself to getting him clothes. He was worried about him driving alone, so he worked hard as a driver and took him to the villa area where the Zhong family lived.

Outside the Zhong family's villa was a wide tree-lined avenue, with sunlight leaking through the gaps between the leaves, giving it a warm, mottled glow. Standing in the sunlight, Alex Chu's heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.

In the sunny courtyard, Jason Zhong was wearing soft casual clothes and sitting elegantly on a bench. Across the table sat Zhong's mother and another middle-aged woman. Next to him sat a young girl in a red dress, who was talking to him with a smile.

Jason Zhong had no expression on his face, but Alex Chu could see that he was listening to the girl carefully. The open courtyard allowed every word they said to be clearly heard by Alex Chu.

"This is your fiancée Xiaoying, don't you remember her?" Mother Zhong said, pointing at the girl with a loving smile on her face.

Jason Zhong glanced at her with some doubt in his eyes: "Really?"

The girl named Xiaoying smiled shyly: "Of course, you said that I am the one you love the most." Then she showed him the engagement ring on her left hand.

Jason Zhong's eyes gradually turned cold. He looked at the woman named Xiaoying, then looked at the mother opposite him, and sneered: "Who are you?"

Mother Zhong was stunned: "Silly child, I am your mother!"

"Liar!" Jason Zhong stood up suddenly and looked at them coldly, "The one I love is obviously Alex Chu!"
