Chapter 892
“Who are you? Do I know you?”
Her words shocked Dustin.
Florence and the rest of them exchanged bewildered looks.
“You… you don’t recognize me?” Dustin was stunned.
“Should I know you?” Dahlia looked at him coldly.
It was like she was looking at a stranger. She looked at him warily as if she wanted Dustin to stay away from her.
“Is something wrong? Let me have a look.” Dustin went forward to check on her pulse.
But the moment he touched her, she recoiled instantly, as if his touch burned her.
“What are you doing?” Dahlia looked at him frostily, caution in her eyes.
Dustin wasn’t used to how she was treating him like a total stranger. Could she be suffering from… amnesia?
“Dahlia, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!” Florence was flustered.
Looking close to tears, she approached Dahlia and asked, “You can’t have forgotten everything, can you? Don’t you remember me?”
“Mom, what are you saying? Of course, I remember you!” Dahlia looked at her, confused.
“You do? Oh, that’s great! That’s great! It seems like you haven’t lost your memories.”
Florence was overjoyed. “I was worried that you’d forget everything after suffering an impact. to the head. That always happens in movies!”
“Dahlia, do you recognize me, then?” Julie asked tentatively.
“Of course I do.” Dahlia nodded.
“And me?” Victoria asked, too.
“Aunt Victoria, what’s up with all of you? You’re all behaving weirdly.” Dahlia looked at them.
curiously.
“Alright, alright. It’s good that you still remember us. Seems like you’re fine now.”
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like Dahlia wasn’t suffering from anything major.
“You remember all of them but not me?” Dustin’s brows furrowed.
Something seemed off. Dahlia didn’t appear to have hurt her head.
“Are you mistaken? I don’t know you.” Dahlia turned to look at Dustin. She looked at him coldly, like she was wary of him.
Dustin’s face fell. For a moment, he was speechless.”
It was obvious that Dahlia had suffered partial memory loss.
But it didn’t look like she had hurt herself. It looked more like she had closed off her memories of Dustin.
In a way, that was one of the body’s defense mechanisms. When a person has experienced something too unbearable, the body would choose to forget about it.
That was a body’s instinct and a way of coping. There was no treatment for that. Whether or not the patient regains their memory depends on themselves.
