When Minerva woke up, she had been sitting by the bed with two pillows behind her. Her eyes were empty and no one knew where she was looking.
Juliette poured a cup of warm water and passed it to her but Minerva did not take it. Juliette could only sigh lightly and put down the cup. She explained, "Actually, Mr. Yardley... is no longer the same person of the past. To be more precise, he's no longer called Maddox. His name has already been changed to Collins Family's last name. Now he's called Sebastian Collins."
"Sebastian Collins..."
Minerva said this name silently and felt bitter in her mouth.
"So, you want to tell me that he doesn't recognize me anymore? Not only does he not recognize me, his name has been changed to Sebastian too? I can't accept it and I can't believe it. You must have found the wrong person. My Maddox, he will never forget me."
Juliette said, "Miss Minerva, this is the truth. Mr. Yardley didn't change the name himself. He doesn't know anything."
Minerva closed her eyes. "You must have found the wrong person."
Juliette sighed again. "What are you thinking? If you can't believe it, can you listen to me so that I can analyze it for you?"
Minerva did not agree nor did she refuse.
Juliette explained softly, "I wonder if you have heard of amnesia?"
Minerva's fingertips trembled and she turned her head to look at Juliette.
"You mean..."
Juliette nodded.
"That's right. In this situation, Mr. Yardley has lost his memory. Otherwise, with his affection for Miss Minerva, he would never forget you. When we found him, he didn't recognize us at all. We don't know what happened on the day of the plane accident, but Mr. Yardley must have suffered some trauma in his brain so he forgets the past."
"Brain trauma?" Minerva's pale lips trembled. It was unbelievable.
"I've already consulted a medical expert on this. Once the brain is severely damaged, there are countless symptoms. Memory loss is one of them. Through Mr. Yardley's various performances towards Miss Minerva, we'll now declare that he is having amnesia. It's not impossible to recover from amnesia. However, there's no specific way of curing amnesia by medicine. Those who lose their memory need to move around more often and visit the familiar environment where he used to go. With this method of stimulation, people who lose their memory can slowly recall the past. However... if the patient can't take it, they can't try it more than once."
"You mean... if I take him home, or if I often show myself in front of him. It might stimulate him to recall everything about the past?"
What Juliette said made Minerva grab hold of a little bit of hope. Her empty eyes had a glimmer of light in them.
Hope was a good thing.
People always had some thoughts so that they could make their daily life more meaningful.
Juliette nodded and said, "You can put it that way, but things aren't absolute. However, Miss Minerva, as long as you work hard there will definitely be a reward. Like before, some families of the missing gave up searching. Therefore, even if the missing person was alive, there is no chance to see him again. However, we didn't give up so in the end, we were able to find Mr. Yardley. Thus... as long as you are willing to make an effort, I believe that he can quickly remember what happened before."
These words were very pleasant to listen to. Especially for Minerva, who was now in a grey area. These words undoubtedly lightened and colored her world.
Minerva sat up straight and said, "But I have a question. He doesn't know me. How can I always appear in front of him?"
"That's the problem." Juliette thought seriously. When she saw that Minerva was still frowning, she couldn't help but smile. "You haven't eaten for a day. Why don't you go downstairs to eat something in the restaurant and sleep for a while? Maybe you'll be able to think of a way tomorrow?"
Sleeping can help to think of a way?
Minerva didn't think that it was possible, but she didn't want to starve the baby in her stomach. So she could only nod her head.
