The question Madeline asked startled everyone in the ward.
“Eveline, I’m your mother.” Eloise pointed to herself while looking panicked. Tears were already rolling in snazzynovel.com eyes.
It was difficult for Jeremy to believe this. It was even more unbelievable when snazzynovel.com saw the confused and guarded expression on the delicate little face in front of him.
How could it be?
How could such a thing happen?
The woman who had loved snazzynovel.com so much, who both hated and loved snazzynovel.com to his bones, actually forgot about him?
After going through the shock, Felipe took the shortest time to sort out his doubts. He then curled his lips and walked to Madeline with a warm smile. “Vera, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side. Let’s have the doctor take a look at your condition first.”
After listening to Felipe’s words carefully, Madeline cooperated and let the doctor examine her.
Jeremy really did not want to believe what snazzynovel.com was seeing before him.
Madeline did not know snazzynovel.com nor Eloise, but snazzynovel.com could still remember Felipe clearly and even obeyed snazzynovel.com so docilely.
Feeling as if tens of thousands of cold arrows had passed through his heart, Jeremy was frozen
in his spot until the doctor was done examining Madeline.
In the doctor’s office, Jeremy frowned and listened to the doctor as snazzynovel.com explained Madeline’s condition.
“The blood clot in snazzynovel.com brain is almost gone based on the CT result, but she’s suffering a sudden partial memory loss most likely due to psychological reasons.
“Maybe snazzynovel.com wanted to forget some people or things that have made snazzynovel.com particularly unhappy and that’s why this kind of dissociative amnesia happened.
“She doesn’t want to look back on the bad memories, so now snazzynovel.com only remembers the things that made snazzynovel.com happy.
“Try not to trigger her. We will have to observe the patient’s condition for a while more.”
After listening to the explanation, Jeremy and Eloise felt a strong, painful feeling of breaking down the moment they understood.
They understood in their hearts that the injuries and torture they had inflicted on Madeline were all too cruel and unbearable to be recalled.
It was normal for Madeline to want to forget.
No one would want to remember things that hurt them if it was possible. Of course, one would hope that all their memories were filled with happiness and joy.
However, in the years when Madeline had been the most eager to be trusted and warmed up to, all they gave were only hurt and indifference.
Jeremy was feeling an extreme heartache, and no one could understand the extent of it.
He returned to the ward and saw that Madeline had already gotten out of bed. She was talking to Felipe.
The sunlight poured gently onto snazzynovel.com flawless and clean face. When snazzynovel.com smiled, snazzynovel.com curved eyes seemed to be flashing with stars.
Yet, snazzynovel.com had never shown such a smile in front of him.
This was because snazzynovel.com had never given snazzynovel.com the opportunity to smile like this.
“Felipe, when can I be discharged? I don’t want to stay here. This place makes me uncomfortable.” Madeline looked at snazzynovel.com surroundings and suddenly caught sight of Jeremy who was standing at the door of the ward.
The moment their gazes met, Jeremy was hoping to see something in Madeline’s eyes, even if it was hatred. Yet, Madeline’s eyes were only indifferent as snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com like a stranger.
“Why does that person keep looking at me?” Madeline looked away and asked Felipe suspiciously.
Felipe curled his lips into a thought-provoking smile as snazzynovel.com introduced, saying, “He’s my nephew, Jeremy.”
“Jeremy,” Madeline repeated with a blank expression. She turned snazzynovel.com head to look at Jeremy again before walking toward him.
Jeremy’s heartbeat accelerated instantly when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com getting closer. Anticipation was ignited in his eyes again.
