Merchant City Central Hospital.
After completing all the necessary checkups, Jim sat in the doctor's room and listened to the doctor's explanation.
"Under normal circumstances, people will usually lose their memories after being put through immense physical and psychological trauma. Your situation, however, Mr. Landry...is a little peculiar.”
The doctor furrowed his brows in puzzlement as he stared at Jim's lab report. "I'll prescribe you some medications that can help with your heart's function for now.
"A week from today, you have to come back for another checkup to see if anything has improved."
With that, he put down the papers and glanced earnestly at Jim's face. "Why don't you go out now and ask your girlfriend to come in? I want to talk to her privately about some matters to look out for when taking care of you."
Jim frowned upon hearing this. "Am I not allowed to listen in?"
The doctor smiled. "It's just some boring instructions and special precautions, but if you want to sit in and listen, it won’t be an issue."
Jim furrowed his brows, opened the door, and asked Charlotte to come in.
The doctor was right; he was indeed giving Charlotte some instructions and precautions that did not sound interesting a tall.
After listening for a while and deeming it boring, Jim got up and left the room.
When Jim’s footsteps rounded the corner and disappeared, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and got up to close the room door.
"I've been missing you like crazy." The middle-aged doctor hugged Charlotte from behind as soon as she shut the door and pressed a gentle kiss on the back of her neck. "What took you so long to come to see me after returning to Merchant City?
"You wouldn't even be standing here if I hadn't helped you undergo your plastic surgery.”
Charlotte rolled her eyes upon hearing this, her back still toward the doctor.
A split second later, she turned around and kissed the doctor's jaw, smiling. "You know fully well what I've been up to lately.
