The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 2

An old man's voice caught her attention. Her bandaged head slowly turned, her eyes landing on the two unfamiliar men standing by the door. One was a bald man in a suit while the other was an elder.
'Huh? Who are they?'
The old man's head was filled with grey hair that looked almost like silver. His wrinkled face was filled with relief but at the same time with urgency, he looked at the man beside him, "hurry! Call the doctor!'
Just as the old man ordered, the bald man left the room to call the doctor in a hurry.
"Child, you're awake!" The elder was about to approach her but as he did, at that moment, what caught her attention again was the next person who entered the room.
The man has a face that stopped any person on their tracks... He was handsome and yet, intimidating. The man that approached them was a clear head higher than most people she would consider tall. Somehow, he wasn't lanky though, there's bulk on him too; muscles beneath the tailored suit he was wearing. Sexy. His long legs moved slowly as he was still walking towards them.
"Grandfather, we need to go back. Let the doctors handle her," the man's icy voice sent shivers in her body. How can a voice be this deep?
The elder ignored the man who addressed him as 'grandfather'. His gentle gaze was still locked at her.
"Child, how are you feeling?"
She opened her mouth to say something but only a groan escape because of how dry her throat was. She felt so bleary that it was taking a bit of time for her body to adjust.
The old man turned and took a glass, filling it with water. He went back to her and handed the glass to the man standing on the side.

"Hold this," he said with much authority that the younger man could only eye him in protest as he quietly obeyed without complaining.
"My name is Bai Keran. This man here is my grandson, Bai Jingye," he introduced while adjusting her bed. The slight incline was enough to restore the force of gravity on her body, straightening out the spine.
Bai Keran? Bai Jingye? Such unfamiliar names.
Bai Keran took the glass back and offered it to the woman on the bed. Since her muscles were weak and stiff, he helped her by gently placing the side of the glass on her lips and carefully making her take a sip from it.
Just before she could ask another question after drinking, the door was flung open again as the doctor and a nurse came in. They were followed by the same bald man that the old man ordered just a minute ago.
"My name is Dr. Cao. Don't worry, you're in the hospital," the doctor reassured as he went and stood beside the old man.
"Hospital...?" That was obvious enough with all the medical instruments inside the room.
"Yes. You were unconscious for almost two months. Do you remember what happened?"
A small knit appeared between her brows as she looked at him in confusion. Unconscious for two months? How? Why can't she remember anything?
The doctor noticed the disturbance in the patient's eyes which alerted him. He took out his ballpoint pen and showed it to her. "Do you know what this is?"
She drew her eyes towards the item before he returned them to the doctor. "P... Pen."
"Yes. How about this?" He tapped on his wrist watch.
Why was he asking her such question? She was not an idiot.

"Watch..."
"Then do you remember your name?" He asked.
She opened her mouth and was about to say her name but... only a word popped out in her mind, "Meng... Meng..."
"May I know what is the last thing you remembered before you got hurt?"
She tried to think again but her mind remained blank. Nothing. She wanted to ask what was happening to her, why can't she remember anything but her voice wouldn't come out so easily. Her body, particularly, her throat needed time to adjust after being unused for more than a month.
"Do you remember anything else about yourself?"
Mengmeng tried to think of anything about herself but her mind was blank as a clean sheet of paper. She began to inwardly panic when she realized that she could not even remember anything else about herself.
"Anything? Places? Friends? Families?"
She could only shake her head a bit as a reply. She turned her anxious gaze to him.
The old man turned to the doctor in worry, "what's wrong?"
Finally, someone asking with the same question she had in mind!
The doctor sighed before explaining, "it's normal for her to forget since she has a head injury. She went through a brain surgery so the momentary shock must have caused her to forget. Her being in a coma is also a factor that causes her temporary amnesia."
Amnesia… Hearing that it was only temporary, she couldn't help but inwardly sigh in relief. She still has a chance to remember who she was. Now, another question entered her mind. What was her relation to this old man and to that handsome man who was quietly standing behind him?
The elder was relieved when he heard what the doctor said. "That's good, that's good."
The doctor stared at the woman on the bed for a few seconds before he turned to look at Bai Keran. "Mr. Bai, can I have a word with you outside?"
Bai Keran noticed something else from the doctor. Could it be what he said earlier was not everything? "Alright." He turned to his grandson and gave him a warning glare. "Don't make things uncomfortable for her."
With that, the old man followed the doctor outside.
