Thirteen years ago, twenty days after the fire at the White Swan Orphanage.
Guanhai First Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.
"Doctor, how is he doing?"
"The injury has basically stabilized, but... he seems to have lost part of his memory, including the fire in the orphanage, so I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything from him."
"Amnesia? Why is this happening?"
"It's the sequelae of a severe trauma! The fire in the orphanage caused his body and mind to suffer extreme pain at the same time. Therefore, the brain instinctively closed the memory fragment that would make him miserable. If you want to restore the memory, you may need to
Post-ri psychological guidance.”
"Okay! I will arrange for him to see a psychiatrist."
"Captain Zhang, to be honest, if it is not necessary, I think it would be better not to let him recall that painful memory. He is only 10 years old. Wouldn't it be too cruel to let him recall that memory?
?He has been an orphan since he was a child, helpless, and now even his only destination has disappeared. If he is reminded of the people and things that were burned to death in the fire again, I am worried that it will have a great impact on his growth.
.”
Zhang Zhenguo pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the intensive care unit. Through the window, he could see a little boy in the ward wrapped in white bandages, with drips on his hands. Then he looked silently at the sky outside the window, Xia Ri's
The breeze blew his bangs, and his clear and innocent pupils shone brightly.
"I will consider it, thank you! Doctor." Zhang Zhenguo said, and then pointed to the ward. "Can I go in and talk to him? I promise not to say anything irritating to him."
"Well, please hurry up, because he still needs to rest." After the doctor said that, he left and left the space for Zhang Zhenguo and the child.
Zhang Zhenguo gently pushed the door open and went in. The person in the ward was the only survivor of the White Swan Orphanage. Twenty days ago, he was found in a donburi in the backyard and was sent to the hospital. The condition was very critical at the time. The child had extensive burns all over his body.
The doctors tried their best to save him for three days before he was brought back from the dead. Then he started to have a fever, which lasted for a week before he gradually got better.
Zhang Zhenguo wanted to use him to understand the cause of the fire in the White Swan Orphanage, but he did not expect that the child actually lost his memory. In this way, no one would know about the bizarre fire in the White Swan Orphanage, unless the child was allowed to
He received treatment from a psychiatrist and forcibly awakened his memory, but...
Looking at the child's melancholy and sad expression, Zhang Zhenguo really couldn't bear to scratch him again. After experiencing this tragic accident, the child should start a new life instead of facing the tragic memories again.
But the fire was so bizarre. The fire brigade investigated the scene for a long time, but there were no clues at all. They could not find the cause of the fire. There was another thing that worried Zhang Zhenguo, that is, there was another one in the White Swan Orphanage.
There are two survivors, but the child has disappeared. Who is he? Where has he gone? This is what Zhang Zhenguo wants to know urgently.
Therefore, Zhang Zhenguo was caught in a dilemma. He looked at the child looking out the window blankly, and suddenly asked, "Child, what are you looking at?"
"I'm waiting for the stars!"
"Waiting for the stars?" Zhang Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Because grandma said that after death, people will go to God to enjoy blessings and then become stars in the sky. So I want to wait for the stars to come out to see grandma and the others. I wonder if they are living well with God. I am very worried.
I miss them." The child's innocent eyes flashed with sadness.
Zhang Zhenguo couldn't help but feel the tip of his nose feel sore, and some heat escaped from his eyes. He sighed softly, as if he had made a decision, and said, "Child, what is your name?"
"My name is Bai Zihan, uncle!"
"Don't call me uncle, call me daddy! From now on, you will be my son!"
The little boy Bai Zihan was stunned for a moment. He had lived in an orphanage for several years, longing to have his own home and parents, but no one was willing to adopt him for many years. He gradually became disappointed and felt that he was wishful thinking. Finally,
This thought became weaker and weaker until it disappeared without a trace.
However, now that happiness fell from the sky so suddenly, Bai Zihan could hardly believe it and felt that he was dreaming. He shrank his head, lowered his eyes, and tears fell silently.
"What? You don't want to?"
Bai Zihan shook his little head and said, "I'm afraid this is a dream, I'm afraid I'll wake up as soon as I accept the dream."
"This is not a dream, this is real!" Zhang Zhenguo hugged Bai Zihan tightly. The latter was slightly startled. It was the first time he felt the embrace of a person called his father. It was warm, strong, and safe... It seemed that he would not be there if he was there.
No matter how sad he was, he would never be disappointed again. Bai Zihan trembled, softly, weakly, and exhorted, "Dad!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhenguo responded softly. He and his wife have been married for five years and have not yet had a child. Today, he was blessed with a son, and he couldn't help stroking his hair lovingly. However, there was one thing in Zhang Zhenguo's heart. He didn't know whether to do it or not.
Tell Bai Zihan.
According to the information left behind by the White Swan Orphanage, in fact Bai Zihan did not stay alone in the orphanage. He should have an older brother named Bai Louxue. However, some of Bai Zihan's lost memories seem to also contain information about his older brother.
Yes, it seems that he no longer remembers that he has a brother.
Was Bai Louxue also burned to death in the fire in the orphanage?
