Farrel trailed behind the doctor with an inexpressible feeling. His mind was still struggling with Retha's behavior earlier, why did that girl when she woke up turned into another person? Farrel meant that the previous Retha was very awkward, different from the previous Retha, who did not hesitate to look into her eyes, who looked at her not like a stranger.

"Please sit down, sir," the doctor pointed to the chair in front of his desk.

Farrel nodded, then sat down. "So, what's up?"

"Well, before I wanted to ask you, has your wife ever had a similar accident before?"

"Yeah, we've both been in a plane crash. And if I'm not mistaken, he's got dissociative amnesia, just like me."

"Like that," the doctor nodded his head, "I have two news for you. One good news, and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Whatever."

"All right, I'll tell you the good news first. So, your wife's dissociative amnesia is cured." The doctor looked at Farrell, "the bad news is, she's now suffering from Retrograde Amnesia."

"Is it a serious illness?"

"All diseases are serious, sir."

"What's the impact?"

"Your wife can't remember what happened after your plane crash."

"Good," said Farrel, making the doctor frown.

"What is good?"

"That way, he won't remember the painful events he went through without me. His memory will only be me, meaning he won't remember that he lived here, right?" asked Farrell with a smile on his lips.

"Yes, all the memories he got after the accident will be lost. But, why are you happy?"

"Just be happy. Aren't you happy if your wife has only you in mind?"

The doctor cleared his throat. "Earlier your wife also asked whether the baby was safe or not. That means, when the accident happened, your wife was pregnant."

"Yes, and now our child is born. He's handsome, like me," Farrel chuckled.

"That's the problem, sir."

Farrel raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Most likely, your wife will not remember the whereabouts of your child. Because your child was born after the accident."

"Jeez, then, how? When can my wife remember it?"

"There are two types of retrograde amnesia. First, your memory will be erased permanently. And secondly, your memory will only be erased temporarily, although the memories that will be remembered will not be all of it. Maybe, only the important things."

"How do we know if my wife has permanent or temporary amnesia?" asked Farrell.

"From the results of the provisional examination, it looks like your wife has a second type of retrograde amnesia, temporarily. However, we will try to check it one more time."

"If it turns out he has permanent amnesia?"

"She will never remember your child," replied the Doctor, looking seriously into Farrell's eyes.

"Vale, is my baby safe?" asked Retha, who knows how many times.

"Re, I don't understand. Are you pregnant?" Valerie frowned.

"Jeez, Valerie. Since when did you become so senile? Just a few days ago I told you that I was pregnant, can't you forget?"

"Re, that was five years ago. Your son was born, and he's sleeping in the next room, his name is Dave. You don't remember?"

"Valerie, this is really not funny. What do you mean that my child has been born? Even at three months old, you must be kidding," Retha chuckled softly.

"Re, do you feel there is life there?" Valerie pointed at Retha's flat stomach, "do you feel it?"

Retha looked down at her stomach. Then, he turned his gaze to Valerie and shook her head.
