Chapter 244 Selective Amnesia
The silence in the air was terrifying. She nervously stared at the hand, not daring to blink.
After a few more seconds, Stanley’s hand trembled, his movement more pronounced than earlier. Monica stood up abruptly and looked around in excitement, unable to speak. She had not spoken for two months, and there was no one else in the ward at that moment.
The man opened his eyes slowly, the white ceiling coming into view. He breathed calmly, feeling that the room was spacious, and a sense of emptiness was in his heart. Where is this?
He tried to raise his hand but found no strength as though it were a dream. As he shifted his gaze, Monica happened to look at him; their eyes met.
Time seemed to freeze… before tears streamed down her cheeks.
“You’re awake?” Her voice was hoarse, unable to produce a sound since she had not spoken for a while. There was a smile on her lips and water in her eyes.
Stanley looked at Monica and found her peculiar.
“Stanley…” Her voice cracked, her smile uglier than her crying face. “You’re finally awake.” She was so happy that she did not know what to say, continuously wiping her tears.
The man frowned slightly. “Who are you?”
What?
Monica was speechless and stunned, and her heart suddenly sank. She conovelxo.com fast updatentinued to stare at him as her head exploded with a buzzing sensation.
Seeing her silence, he asked again, “Who are you? Why are you crying?”
“You… You don’t remember me?” She was shocked, her heart sinking heavily. “You’re playing with me, aren’t you? Come on.”
He looked around and lightly frowned. “Where is this?”
“Have you lost your memory?” she asked in disbelief.
The possibility of amnesia could not be ruled out, especially with such a head injury.
At that moment, the door to the ward opened. Stephanie and Jennifer walked in, followed by Taylor. Several doctors arrived shortly after.
Everyone was shocked to see Stanley open his eyes!
He’s awake?!
However, Stanley was bewildered, his deep gaze shifting from Taylor on the left to the doctor on the far right. He only recognized Taylor among these people.
“Taylor.” Finally, Stanley’s gaze fell on him. “I’m… in the hospital?”
“Stan… Jennifer was so excited that tears filled her eyes, and her body trembled. “You’re awake!” She rushed to the bedside, grabbing his hand. “This is amazing! You’re finally awake!”
However, Stanley pulled his hand away as if he had received an electric shock and looked at her warily,
silent.
With tears in her eyes, she was bewildered, and even her smile froze. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Miss Fox, he…” Monica’s lips trembled. “He seems to have amnesia. He doesn’t remember me and probably doesn’t remember you either.”
“Amnesia? But why does he recognize Taylor?” She could not believe it.
The term ‘selective amnesia’ flashed in Taylor’s mind instantly. He stepped forward and stood by the bed while Stephanie held onto Jessica. He looked at Stanley seriously and asked, “Do you remember who you are?”
Everyone held their breath anxiously,
Stanley struggled to recall what had happened.
Why am I in the hospital?
It felt like he had been lying there for a long time to the point where his whole body ached. He had no strength at all.
Why am I in the hospital?
His thoughts pulled backward, and he vaguely remembered a pickup truck charging toward him. Then, a loud crash sent him into the air! He fell heavily and hit his head, causing a direct blank in his memory. As for why he was in the middle of the traffic and why he got hit, he could not remember at all.
“That’s enough.” Taylor saw his painful expression and nervously reminded him, “You’ll get a headache. Don’t think about it anymore. You have selective amnesia.”
