Edward arrived in two shakes, and his mind, too, went blank for a few seconds upon hearing the news. Although the doctor had previously emphasized the possibility of such symptoms, he still found it difficult to accept the fact.
The couple stood outside the glass window, watching their son cooperating with the examination. Although he had lost his memory, his demeanor remained unchanged; that provided them some comfort.
Just then, the attending doctor came out and approached the couple, saying gravely, “Mr. Edward, Mr. Ethan’s physical injuries have mostly healed. Currently, his memory nerves are damaged, and we need more time to determine whether it is temporary or permanent amnesia. Fortunately, Mr. Ethan is in good health.”
“Does he really not remember anything?” Donna asked, still unwilling to resign to fate. “Currently, our diagnosis is that he has complete amnesia. He doesn’t remember anyone or anything. However, his intelligence and language abilities are intact. He can speak six languages and converse fluently.” “In other words, apart from not remembering the people and things around him, he is still normal, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Therefore, the upcoming treatment will require your utmost cooperation. We need to help Mr. Ethan regain his memory by bringing the most important people in his life to interact with him. We aim to facilitate his full recovery as soon as possible.”
“His most important people, aside from friends, are all here,” Donna said. “Alright! You may see him shortly.” The doctor nodded and left.
When the nurse came out to invite them in, Donna and Edward’s emotions were complex yet joyful. Regardless, having their son safely. back by their side was a blessing from above. Therefore, they couldn’t be too greedy. They had to accept the fact that their son had amnesia and do everything possible to help him regain his memories.
When they entered, Ethan was deep in thought while in bed, and his gaze softened when he saw the approaching elderly couple. “I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten a lot of things, but I’m sure you’re very important to me.”
