The next day, Sunday, was the day Grandma had surgery. Deng Chenjun was surprised to find his sister Yin Xiaoyao up earlier than him, dressed neatly and cooking breakfast in the kitchen. "Sister, aren't you taking a day off today? Why don't you sleep in a little longer?"

Yin Xiaoyao looked at her still sleepy brother and said softly, "I went to the hospital to see the doctor yesterday and took the medicine he prescribed. I feel much better today. Let's have breakfast and go see grandma together."

For breakfast, she steamed four large meat buns, two for each of them; she also cooked two large bowls of high-calcium oatmeal porridge. It was Deng Chenjun's first time having such a breakfast combination, and she devoured it with gusto. Looking at her sister's haggard, pale face, she felt an inexplicable bitterness well up in her heart.

I just found my relatives, my grandmother got a terminal illness, I got pregnant for no apparent reason, and the original owner also lost some of her memory. What is going on?

After breakfast, the brother and sister went out and took the subway to the hospital. When they were almost there, Yin Xiaoyao saw someone buying flowers, so she spent 35 yuan to choose a bouquet and smiled sweetly: "Grandma, seeing this bouquet of flowers, will feel better and the operation will go smoothly."

After hearing this, Deng Chenjun nodded slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Arriving at the hospital, the brother and sister tiptoed into the ward. Their mother hadn't arrived yet, but their grandfather was accompanying them. When their grandmother saw them, she forced a smile on her face.

Yin Xiaoyao quickly placed the flowers on the bedside, took her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, look, these flowers are so beautiful. You must get better soon." Tears welled up in her grandmother's eyes, and she said weakly, "My dear children, I'm sorry for what I have done to you."

At this time, Dr. Zhu Zhenhua came in for his ward rounds. The siblings nervously watched Dr. Zhu's expression, hoping to hear some good news. However, Dr. Zhu's face remained solemn as he said, "The risks of surgery are still very high. You must be mentally prepared."

Yin Xiaoyao bit her lip and said firmly, "Doctor Zhu, no matter what, please do your best to save grandma."

After leaving the ward, Yin Xiaoyao and Deng Chenjun sat on a bench in the hospital, both silent. Yin Xiaoyao was thinking about her inexplicable pregnancy and not knowing what to do. Deng Chenjun was worried about the cost of her grandmother's surgery.

Yin Xiaoyao broke the silence: "When will mom be back?"

Deng Chenjun said: "Mom said she went to the temple to ask for a fortune stick for grandma and will be back soon."

Just then, Yin Xiaoyao's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone. A man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Ms. Yin Xiaoyao?"

Yin Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment and replied, "I am!"

The man said, "I'm your adoptive father, Yin Zhaoliang. Why did you go to Kyoto without telling anyone? Even a private detective has been looking for you for a long time. You didn't even answer your aunt's phone calls?"

Yin Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat. Was she coming back to fight for the family fortune? Regarding these nominal adoptive parents, she quickly searched the original owner's memory bank again, and found another lonely one. Could it be that she really had lost her memory?

Seeing that she was silent, her adoptive father Yin Zhaoliang quickly said, "Are you busy? Write down my phone number first, and call us when you're done."

Yin Xiaoyao was nervous: "Oh, I changed my phone number. I... am not busy... Have we met?"

Yin Zhaoliang scratched his head awkwardly: "Xiaoyao, don't be nervous. Thank you very much for taking care of my mother for so long. We haven't even met. I...I..."

This sounds strange. If someone adopts someone and thanks them, shouldn't they be asking for something in return? Like setting up a blind date and then asking for an exorbitant bride price... I've watched too many TV dramas... This is a bit far-fetched.

Yin Xiaoyao said coldly: "Oh, then there is no need to meet. I have found my biological parents. I have lost my memory and can't remember many things in the past." After that, she hung up the phone angrily.

Her younger brother, Deng Chenjun, was sitting next to her, listening to every word. He comforted her, "Sister, I saw on the news that there are a lot of scam calls, and they're all based on lies. Don't believe someone just because they know you were adopted. If you do, they'll try to trick you out and ask you for money, whatever they want."

Yin Xiyao nodded: "I understand. Grandma Yin asked someone to help me find my relatives. It would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to get my information."

Deng Chenjun looked at her pale face. She was actually only three years older than him and had been pretending to be strong. He felt a little sad in his heart: "Sister, when did you start to lose your memory?"

Yin Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed slightly as she began to speak: "Last month, I accidentally fell into the river and my electric scooter also fell in. I was rescued by the patrol team, and now I realize I don't even remember how to drive it. I'm forgetting more and more about the past."

"How could this happen..." Deng Chenjun murmured in a low voice.

Yin Xiaoyao forced a smile and said nonchalantly, "Maybe the river water is too cold and it froze my head."

Deng Chenjun quickly grabbed her hand, looked at her seriously, and said, "Sister, no matter what, I will be with you. If there's anything you can't remember, you can always ask me." He chuckled, "I thought you said you lost your memory as a child. Fortunately, it wasn't. Because drowning might be a stress reaction. Did it happen before moving into Haoting Garden?"

Yin Xiaoyao nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Yes, it was before we moved into Haoting Garden. That period was really bad. I felt like my world suddenly became unfamiliar."

Deng Chenjun patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will slowly get better. Perhaps as time goes by, those memories will gradually return."

Yin Xiaoyao felt warm in her heart and nodded. "It seems so. When I have some spare money, I will go get a brain checkup. Whenever I think about the past, my head hurts terribly."

Deng Chenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of concern and determination. He said seriously: "I only recognize you now, the you who recognized us. If you have forgotten the past, then there is no need to force yourself to recall it, so as not to hurt yourself. The important thing is to cherish the time in front of you and create a better future together." His voice was gentle and powerful, as if giving the other party a sense of comfort and encouragement.

Yin Xiaoyao sighed, "I hope so. But now, I can't even remember some very important people and things. I always feel empty inside."

Deng Chenjun said gently: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you can't remember it, we can still create new memories together."

I couldn't help but think to myself, "Maybe he lost his memory and forgot some of his hatred. No wonder he accepted his parents and me again."

For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether he wanted his sister's memory to be restored or for it to remain dormant forever.
