Luca and Luke listened to Stan's words and realized that he had indeed lost his memory.
If Stan had not lost his memory when he woke up but simply felt confused, he should not have said such things.
Luca had great confidence in her dry needling treatment.
"Uncle Stan, this isn't the mansion. It's the hospital. Don't you remember what happened?" Gerald was very anxious. He was even thinking of asking Stan about what happened in the mansion right away.
However, Luke was still here, so he could not ask.
Therefore, Gerald planned to first find out whether Luke had caused his uncle's injury.
"The hospital? How did I end up in the hospital?" Stan was visibly surprised. He also noticed that the surroundings were not those of the mansion. He tried to sit up but felt dizzy and ended up lying back down.
"It's..." Gerald initially wanted to accuse Luke of harming Stan, but with no evidence to support his claim and especially with Luke glaring at him, he dared not speak recklessly.
Hence, he said, "You stumbled and passed out. Luke found you and took you to the hospital. Can you remember what happened? You've always been healthy. Why did you suddenly faint?"
Luca rolled her eyes. Even though what she did to Stan was morally questionable, she actually saved his life this time.
If Stan had not gotten a brain CT scan done in time, the blood vessel tumor in his brain would not have been discovered in time. Brain aneurysms were like time bombs. If left untreated, who knew when they might burst?
"I... I don't know..." Stan frowned, feeling pain all over his body. However, the worst was in his head.
It felt like someone had forcibly stuffed cotton into his head, making him unable to remember anything.
"Mr. Gerald, we should inform the doctor first," Luca reminded him. "Mr. Muller just woke up and needs to be examined."
Stan heard Luca's voice and found it familiar. Thus, he quickly asked, "Who's there?"
"Mr. Muller, both I and Luca are here," replied Luke. His hand was on Luca's waist as they walked to the bedside.
Stan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Luke and Luca, asking in confusion, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, why are you two in X City?"
"Uncle Stan, are you confused? They've both been here for two days!" Gerald was about to press the bell. However, he could not help but stop in his action after he heard what Stan said.
"Two days?" Stan was astonished. "Mr. Crawford, why aren't you staying at the ancestral mansion when you're in X City?"
Gerald felt increasingly uneasy. Why did his uncle seem to have forgotten everything?
This should not be happening. Could it be that he found out something and he was just pretending?
Luke did not answer Stan's question at the moment. Instead, he stared straight at Gerald. "Seems like you know a lot about my schedule?"
Gerald panicked and explained, "I’m close with my uncle. We talk on the phone every day, and he mentioned it to me. That’s why I was aware of it.
"What's the matter? Is it illegal? Are you, Luke Crawford, so prestigious that others aren't allowed to know your schedule?"
As Luca listened to Gerald's provocations, she reminded him, "Mr. Muller's condition isn't right. Let's get a doctor first."
Her words served as a reminder to Gerald.
He quickly pressed the button.
Stan felt himself surrounded by a fog, with only two sensations present at the moment—pain and confusion.
How could he not remember what had happened? How did he end up in the hospital? Why did Gerald say that Luke and Luca had been in X City for two days already?
What on earth happened?
"Mr. Muller, stop thinking about it. Let the doctor examine you first.” Luca saw the confusion reflected in Stan’s eyes, further confirming that he had indeed lost his memory.
"Please step outside for a moment. I’d like to discuss the patient's condition with you.” After that, the doctor walked out of the ward.
Luke and Luca did not leave.
Since the ward door was not closed, they could hear the conversation between the doctor and Gerald.
"Doc, what's going on with my uncle?" asked Gerald.
"I suspect it's due to the impact on the patient's brain, resulting in memory loss. He has forgotten what has happened in the past few months," answered the doctor.
"How could something like this happen? Don't lie to me. How can a person just lose their memory like that?"
"I'm a doctor, and there's no need for me to lie to you. Let me explain. This kind of thing is common among patients with head injuries. Some may lose their memory of the past few days, others of the past several months, and some even forget who they are.
"Based on the current situation, his amnesia isn't severe. At least he remembers who he is, and the lost memories aren't too extensive."
Gerald was so frustrated that he stomped his foot. It was not just a matter of losing a few memories. The crucial ones were all gone for Stan!
"Doc, will he recover from this?"
"It's hard to tell. It depends on the patient. Some recover from amnesia within hours or days, but for others, it could last a lifetime. Some people think it's lifelong amnesia until something triggers their brain cells, and suddenly, they remember everything. So, amnesia is unpredictable."
The doctor shook his head, unable to provide a precise answer.
"Damn it!" Gerald could not help but curse.
It seemed that Stan could not be relied on right now. If he wanted to figure out what happened, he would have to start with the surveillance footage.
Gerald remembered he had asked Stan to turn off all the surveillance cameras as well as the alarm...
