These words deeply shook Xiaolan's heart.

Her hand trembled several times. She raised her eyelashes and looked at Freya with tears in her eyes.

Her cloudy eyes were no longer dull and stupid but clear.

Seeing this, Freya patted her hand and smiled slightly, saying, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children. Do you really want to never see your children for the rest of your life?"

"But he has already forgotten me!" After a long time, Xiaolan said these words.

Since she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was dry.

Freya comforted her, "Memory can be retrieved if it's lost, but if the heart is dead, there's really no hope left. Mr. Lu is a man who values love and righteousness. Even if he has lost his memory, he will still take on the responsibilities that a man should bear. Moreover, your two children are very obedient. Don't you want to see them and be reunited with them?"

Xiaolan of course wanted to, but she looked so terrifying now that the children would surely be scared if they saw her.

She was a bit anxious and quickly covered her incomplete legs with a thin blanket in a flurry.

Freya knew the pressure she was under. After all, she did look rather wretched in her current state.

"It doesn't matter. It's not too late for you to be reunited with your children after Dr. Xu makes the prosthetic limbs for you." Freya understood.

Every woman loves beauty, and no one wants to expose their embarrassing side to the people they love the most.

So, she wouldn't disrupt Gabriel's plan. She would wait until Xiaolan's condition improved before choosing to let her recognize the children.

There was a glimmer of expectation in Xiaolan's eyes, and she asked cautiously, "Can the prosthetic limbs really make me stand up again?"

Freya nodded, "Yes, they can. I asked Mr. Lu to make realistic prosthetic limbs for you. Then you can even wear your favorite clothes."

After hearing this, Xiaolan's emotions calmed down a lot.

Before, she was on bed, unable to go anywhere. She hadn't changed her clothes for a long time, and she didn't even have the energy to take care of her hair. She was just like a useless person.

But if she could stand up again, did it mean that her life wasn't actually that bad?

"Freya, thank you!" Xiaolan held Freya's hand gratefully, but tears couldn't help streaming down.

Freya wiped away her tears and soothed her softly, "Don't cry. I will try my best to help you recover to your original state, and your life is just beginning."

Xiaolan nodded vigorously.

Freya held her injured hand again and let out a deep sigh, "Don't do such stupid things again in the future. How painful must it have been when you made that cut?"

It was really painful, so painful that she felt like she was going to die.

Xiaolan still remembered the pain when she made that cut, which went deep into her bones.

But compared to the harm that Zhu Rong had done to her, such as brutally breaking her legs, this pain was actually nothing.

"I won't do it again in the future." Xiaolan pursed her dry lips and said to her firmly.

Freya was very glad that Xiaolan had come to her senses and accompanied her to talk for a long time.

It was not until the nurse came in to change the drip that Freya left the ward and went to the laboratory.

The matter of the prosthetic limbs had been put on the agenda. Xu Yan and Qin Gou worked together to consider Xiaolan's residual legs and then really started the operation.

At this point, Freya was almost relieved. She asked Mi Luo to arrange a plane and planned to return to the station in the afternoon to meet Bradley.

She wouldn't feel at ease until the Zhan Fa family was eradicated.

Before leaving, Freya went to say goodbye to Xiaolan and told her to live well.

Xiaolan smiled and nodded, "Take care."

"Take care."

Freya patted her on the shoulder and handed her a photo, "This is a photo of Yuanyuan. He is also a poor child. He has been weak and sickly since he was a child, but he hasn't given up and still faces life with a smile every day."

Xiaolan took the photo. When she saw the face that was exactly the same as Gabriel's, tears filled her eyes again.

This was her eldest son. When she was abducted, worried that the child would be sold together, she hid him.

Unexpectedly, he had been with Gabriel all this time.

Xiaolan hugged the photo and burst into tears.

Shortly after Freya left, Gabriel gently pushed the door open and happened to see this scene.

At that moment, Xiaolan was at a loss, not knowing whether to continue pretending to be stupid or to be honest with this man.

Just then, Gabriel spoke first, his voice still a bit trembly, "Freya said that you have returned to normal."

Xiaolan's hand clenched the bed sheet tightly. After a fierce inner struggle, she finally took a deep breath and bravely met the man's deep eyes.

She showed Gabriel a smile, "Yes, I'm already better."

At that moment, Gabriel's mood was complicated. He walked closer and gently hugged her.

Xiaolan was stunned.

The familiar scent filled her nostrils, but she could feel the stiffness of the man's body.

After all, he still couldn't remember her.

But it didn't matter. Freya was right. Memory could be retrieved if it was lost, but if the heart changed, there would really be no hope.

The man in front of her was still the same as before, with his appearance unchanged.

His embrace was still so warm.

Xiaolan buried her head in his embrace greedily and hugged him back with her hands.

"Sister, I've cooked chicken soup for you..."

Suddenly, a petite figure rushed in. Lan Xiaoling appeared at the door carrying a thermos.

When she saw this scene, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, and she stood there motionless for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she said awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry. I came at the wrong time." After saying that, she put down the chicken soup, quickly went out, and closed the door behind her.

Gabriel let go of Xiaolan, and his expression, as usual, gave no indication of his emotions.

Xiaolan looked at him obsessively, raised her hand and gently placed it on his handsome face. There were tears in her eyes, "Gabriel, can't you really remember every bit of our time together?"

Gabriel said, "Sorry, I've forgotten all the memories related to you."

He had always been straightforward and never beat around the bush. He admitted it directly.

Although Xiaolan was still a bit heartbroken, she was suppressing these negative emotions. She still smiled and said, "It's okay. When I'm better, I'll accompany you to retrieve those memories."

"Okay."

Gabriel agreed indifferently.

The two of them didn't say anything more.

After a moment of silence, Gabriel stood up, "I'll go find Dr. Xu to follow up on the situation of the prosthetic limbs. After I go out, I'll ask Xiaoling to come in."

Before Xiaolan could reply, the man had already turned around and left.

Xiaolan just felt frustrated.

In fact, through their time together recently, she had already noticed that Gabriel had no feelings for her at all.

On the contrary, he seemed more relaxed when getting along with her sister Xiaoling than with her.

A feeling called jealousy welled up in her heart for no reason.

Xiaolan's fists clenched involuntarily. Looking at the chicken soup on the bedside, her emotions suddenly got out of control, and she threw it on the ground.
