บท 1: An unfamiliar world(1)
[In this world, nothing is absolute.
The truth can have a tiny percentage of lies, lies can hold some truth, a joke can be serious, and even reality can be an illusion. When you thought you have been living your dream all your life, and then that life suddenly turns into a near-death experience and just when you think you are going to die, the scene suddenly fades into light and you realize it was all just a dream. And you do not even know where you are.]

Hillside Hospital.
Li Lanni stared blankly as two nurses busied themselves around her, drawing her blood, taking her pulse and measuring her temperature.
A girl in a red dress stood nervously at the side, letting them do their work. A doctor shone his bright flashlight into her eyes, making her squint them closed from the sudden glaring light. Was he trying to make her blind?
Words tumbled out of their mouths, none of which she understood and they could be speaking Greek for all she cared. A nurse brought a glass of water to her. She let the nurse place the glass on her dry lips and only took two sips to soothe her parched throat. She tried to move. Her whole body ached so she slumped back.
"Are they coming back?" She asked no one in particular when the doctor and nurses made their way out. She didn't want them to come back. She was scared.
"They don't have to if you do not want them. Lanni, are you feeling okay?" The girl in red asked.
"Who are you?" Li Lanni recoiled with an alarmed expression on her face.
"I'm your best friend." The girl explained. "My name is Ji Feifei. Tell me, does it hurt anywhere?"
Li Lanni was still taking in her words. Best friend? Those two words sounded so unfamiliar and she didn't even want to think about it.
"Where am I? What happened to me? How come I do not know you?" She finally asked a cluster of questions.
The girl called Ji Feifei let out a sigh before starting to answer. "You have been in a coma for six months. It is understandable that you are still confused. The doctors also said you might have temporary amnesia. That explains why you don't remember me."
Li Lanni stared dazedly as realisation downed on her already confused brain.She had been in a coma for so long? Now it made sense.
No wonder what she had thought was her life didn't truly feel real. It had all revolved around two scenes that seemed to be on loop. She couldn't even remember anything about them except that they were happy scenes. The last time, a different scene appeared. She couldn't recall it either. All she remembered was a loud scream, earth-shattering screeches and a crash.
She had woken up right after the crash. So it was all a dream. Two dreams and a nightmare. To be exact, she had been in coma. All that she had thought was happening was only an illusion and now she was awake.
But she didn't like it here. It was so white and so unfamiliar. She didn't know anything. It felt like she had been shoved into a different dimension and forced to believe that it was real.
Only, she knew that it was real. At least more real than the dream she had forgotten.
"Can I leave this place?"
The girl called Ji Feifei looked troubled. "I don't know... I don't think you can leave so soon. I'll ask the doctor when you will be discharged."

NOTE: I thought I should add this note. It's important.
1] I am editing the book. I might change some parts to make it better and more sensible. I just started, so if you come across tiny differences in the plot, please understand that it's because I'm editing. I will remove this part once editing is complete.
2]Beware: There are plot twists. Not too many of them though.
3] This story has two parts:
>Before the female lead regains her memory.
>After she regains her memory.
You will notice a difference in the second part. Don't worry, it's not a huge difference and the plot will not stray.
I thought I should add these points to prepare you for some of the things you will come across.
Happy reading! ❤

บท 2: An unfamiliar world(2)
Ji Feifei returned a few minutes later.
"Sorry, you cannot leave the hospital yet. The doctor said you need to stay a few days for observation."
"Okay. You may leave." Li Lanni dismissed. She didn't intentionally want to sound rude.
It was just that she felt confused and didn't know what to do in this unfamiliar world. Moreover, the vibe that this Ji Feifei girl emitted made her inexplicably feel the need to protect herself. How could she trust anyone when she didn't even know who she was? She was only relying on what she had been told, and she didn't like it.
Ji Feifei felt humiliated that she had been sent away but she left nonetheless. Lanni was still getting used to things.
…
Li Lanni closed her eyes, trying to get used to everything. Her mind was so blank that she didn't know what to do.
The door banged open a short while later and a middle aged woman rushed right at her, emotionally hugging her out of nowhere.
"Who are you?" Li Lanni pushed her away out of reflex.
The woman was stunned and saddened for a second before she recollected herself. "I'm your mother. Li Yuming." She wiped away tears that Li Lanni assumed were of joy. "Feifei told me you woke up so I came back. I almost thought she was pranking me! Lanni, I'm so happy."
Cautiously as though afraid of something, Li Lanni studied the woman as she spoke. She only reacted when her instinct convinced her that the woman was being sincere. She returned the hug and patted her back.
Li Yuming was overjoyed. She hugged her daughter a little longer before reluctantly pulling away. "Have you eaten anything yet? If not, I will get you something to eat."
'Growl…' her stomach rumbled as though to answer her mother.
She scratched her head in embarrassment. "I guess I could do with some food."
Li Yuming smiled and hurriedly left the ward. She quickly bought food in the hospital cafeteria and rushed back as though she was afraid of something. Even though she wanted to go to a high-end restaurant instead, she didn't want to leave Li Lanni alone for too long.
It turned out, Li Lanni was not the only one who had been traumatised by the accident. In fact, Li Yuming was even more traumatised.
She had almost lost her daughter, her only family. She couldn't let it happen again.
That was why for the last few weeks, she had stuck by Li Lanni's side and would only leave when it was absolutely necessary and even then, she would let Ji Feifei stay by her side.
The same trend went on for the next few days that Li Lanni had to stay in hospital for observation.
...
Li Lanni was finally discharged. Li Yuming brought her to Pearl Villa, their home. For the first time in many days, Li Lanni had a change in emotions. She was happy. The hospital was so cold and white and she didn't like it there a single bit. Their home, on the other hand, was warm and more welcoming.
Her mother showed her to her room and helped her settle down.
When she was finally alone, Li Lanni went over to the full length mirror and stared at it. A beautiful young woman stared back at her. It felt so unfamiliar…
Looking at yourself in the mirror and not being able to recognize the person on the other side must be the most frustrating feeling on earth.
She pulled back a strand of hair from her face, the woman in the mirror did the same. She wondered how old she was. Twenty? Thirty perhaps? Her mother had not talked about her age yet. Perhaps she assumed that Li Lanni remembered it.
Which made Li Lanni wonder, since the doctor claimed that she was only suffering from selective amnesia which was supposed to be temporary, how come she couldn't remember anything?
She let out a sigh and moved away from the mirror, sitting on the bed instead. Surely she couldn't keep bugging her mother every time she thought she needed to know something.
She needed to find some clues that could help her remember something and staring at the mirror would definitely not do much to let that happen.
