“Could you please check him up?” Theresa stopped one doctor.
The doctor took a look at her and nodded. He tore open Armand’s sleeve and said indifferently, “The wound needs to be stitched. You should go to the hospital.”
Someone called that there was another injured person inside, so the doctor walked in. It seemed that the woman was injured seriously. The doctor urged other staff to carry her downstairs.
The man was arrest and taken away by the police.
After arriving at the hospital, the woman was sent to the emergency room for rescue. Armand went to the surgical department to deal with his wound. The doctor checked the wound and said he needed more than a dozen stitches. When the doctor was cleaning the wound, Theresa couldn’t watch. She just looked away.
Armand’s wound was dealt with completely after half an hour. Theresa helped him up and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Armand said, “Not at all. I got an anaesthetic.”
The doctor gave him local anaesthesia around his wound. Otherwise, he would suffer when the skin was stitched. He wouldn’t have felt so easy.
“The police has informed your client’s family to come over. Please don’t worry about her,” said Theresa.
Armand looked at her, “I don’t care about her. She’s just my client. Even if something happened to her, it wouldn’t be my responsibility. You worried me. When the man wanted to cut you, why didn’t you know how to dodge?”
She was so freaked out that she stiffed and forgot to react.
“You are always like this. How am I supposed to leave you alone in the future?" said Armand in depression.
Theresa pressed her lips in silence.
A doctor came over. Seeing Armand, he said, “Mr. Bernie, Mrs. Bernie has woken up.”
They were in the same hospital where Elizabeth was in, and the doctor was her chief physician. Elizabeth woke up, but no one was with her, so he was trying to contact Armand.
“I’ll go to her ward now,” said Armand.
“Wait a moment, please. Mr. Bernie, I have something to talk to you about.” The doctor looked solemnly. Armand frowned, “Didn’t you say that her injury wasn’t serious?”
“She’s not in danger, but...” The doctor paused a bit, “Please be prepared.”
“What on earth is wrong with her?” Armand was anxious.
“Mr. Bernie, please calm down.” The doctor said more solemnly, “Here is the thing. Your grandmother’s brain was hurt. When she woke up just now, I went to check up on her. She might be suffering a short-term memory loss.”
“What?” Armand thought that he had misheard something, “Memory loss?”
He couldn’t believe it at all. It only happened in the TV drama. How could it happen in real life?
“I’m not quite certain yet. She has Alzheimer’s disease, so she also has such a symptom. However, she’s possibly got amnesia. We’ll check her up tomorrow to ensure about it.”
“Okay. I see.” Armand grabbed Theresa’s hand, “I...”
“Let’s go to see her first.” Theresa could understand how helpless he was now.
They went to Elizabeth’s ward together. Pushing the door open, they found that Elizabeth was half-lying on the bed. Her head was bandaged. Upon hearing the sound, she looked over. Her dully eyes lit up.
“Please go in. I’ll wait for you outside.” Theresa let go of Armand’s hand. When she turned around, Elizabeth said to her, “Who are you, girl?”
Theresa didn’t look back, keeping walking.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! Don’t ignore me!” Elizabeth snapped, “Let me tell you. Armand is married. Don’t you dare to pester him!”
Armand walked to her, “Grandma...”
“Stop calling me!” Elizabeth snapped to interrupting him, “Theresa has lost her baby because of you. I wonder how she’s doing now. How can you hook up with another woman? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Theresa was taken aback while standing at the door. She wondered if Elizabeth had truly lost her memories and forgotten who she was.
“Grandma.” Armand walked to the bed and looked at his grandmother, “Because Theresa and I won’t have children, you want us to divorce. Have you forgotten it?”
