Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 999

Emmy’s brow knitted tighter, her pale face full of regret. Lately, she’d been cramming her head with neurology, reading one research paper after another. She knew exactly what “irreversible nerve damage” meant, and the thought made her stomach twist. Just moments ago, she’d let her emotions and longing take over, almost causing a disaster.

James had been standing nearby the whole time, watching her closely. He finally spoke up, his voice gentle. “Are you feeling any discomfort right now?”

Emmy looked at him and shook her head. Only then did she notice the odd, tight sensation tugging at her scalp.

“My scalp feels kind of tight…”

Lorelei spoke, her voice calm and steady. “That’s because you’re still getting acupuncture. There are needles in your Baihui and Sishencong points. It’s normal to feel that way.”

“Hang in there, I’ll take them out in ten minutes.”

Emmy mumbled an “okay” and did her best not to move. The room fell quiet for a few seconds.

With her eyes lowered, Emmy’s long lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks. She hesitated, but the question in her heart finally slipped out.

“Doctor, earlier… I broke down because I saw that child. I just want to know, why did that happen? That child—she’s Abriella’s. Why would I…”

Lorelei, who had been packing up her things, paused. She looked at Emmy lying in the bed. Even though Emmy was weak, her thoughts were still clear. Lorelei’s eyes shone with a hint of approval.

“The fact that you can ask about this so quickly, and so rationally, means your mind is recovering well. There’s no serious damage.”

“But from now on, as your doctor, here’s my advice. If you want your memory back sooner, try not to get too curious about the unknown around you.”

“I heard you’ve been studying neurology with a Harvard research group?”

“Then you should already understand your condition. The more curious you get, the more you want to dig, the stronger the backlash will be. It’s not good for you.”
