204 Might Be Able to be the Subst.i.tute for Her Father!
“I saved you from the mudslide. Your things were submerged under the rocks and mud. Other than the clothes you wear, you only have this token on you,” Gu Qingxue said. She then handed the valuable black jade token to the man.
The man looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise when he saw this.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingxue asked.
The man smiled indifferently and said, “I just think the Miss is a good person. I’ve lost my memory, so I don’t remember what I brought with me. This token seems to be very expensive. Even if you took it for yourself, I don’t know.”
“My mother would never do such a thing.” Gu Lin was afraid that someone would mistake his mother for a bad person, so he quickly told the man.
The man nodded, took the token, and examined it carefully.
Many memories surged into his mind. His fingers caressed the token. The cold touch made him remember everything, even the whole process of his a.s.sa.s.sination.
He lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. When the man raised his head again, his eyes became confused. “I don’t remember.”
“Pretty uncle, did you lose your memory?” Lingbao was very surprised. She looked at the man with more interest.
She had only seen someone lose their memory in the storybook before, but this was the first time she had seen someone lose their memory around her!
“I don’t know either… Could it be because of my head injury?” The man frowned and touched the gauze wrapped around his head.
“It’s very possible. Your head injury might cause many symptoms. However, your problem shouldn’t be too serious. It might be because you suffered too much stimulation that caused you to lose your memory. You should be able to recall it quickly by chance,” Gu Qingxue said.
She had checked the wound on the man’s head and found that there was no blood clot in his head. It was obvious that his loss of memory was not caused by pathology, but by psychology.
After all, he was severely injured and had narrowly escaped death. After experiencing so many hardships in such a short time, it was not impossible for him to lose his memory because of the stimulation.
“Does that mean that uncle doesn’t know his name and where he lives?” Dumby blinked and asked.
“I wonder if Miss can take me in for a while and let me leave after I recover? Maybe I can recover my memory while I’m recovering,” the man looked at Gu Qingxue expectantly and asked.
Gu Qingxue did not expect the man to lose his memory. She could not chase him out.
The man’s condition was so unstable. She could only keep him by her side to ensure that she could get the nine thousand points after she recovered.
“Mother, will you agree? Otherwise, he’ll be so pitiful,” Lingbao pleaded in a childish voice.
This uncle in front of her was so good-looking and looked very good. He might even be able to be her father’s subst.i.tute!
“Alright. However, my family doesn’t keep idle people. After you can get out of bed in a few days, you’ll have to help the family do some housework within your means. In addition, this token is the only valuable thing you have on you. I’ll keep it with me first. I’ll return it to you when you have the money to pay me back for my medical expenses and accommodation in the future.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she took back the token from the man’s hand.
The man did not resist, but his gaze was fixed on the token in Gu Qingxue’s hand.
“Since there’s a ‘Nine’ on the token, I’ll call you Nine.” Gu Qingxue put away the token and thought of the nine thousand points.
