âHow is he, doctor? How is my brother?â Cecelia asked anxiously.
The doctor took off his mask and said, âFortunately, the injured was brought in just in time. If it had been a few seconds too late, we would have been unable to do anything. His life is now saved, and we are doing the final stitching.â
Adam had too many wounds, so it would take some time to stitch. them up properly.
Hearing these words, Cecelia finally breathed a sigh of relief and was moved to tears. âThank you, thank you, doctorâ¦â
Shepard greeted the doctor, his colleague, and the doctor left. Then he turned to comfort Cecelia, âWell, Cecelia, your brother is fine. now! Donât worry!â
Remington embraced Cecelia and reassured her, âNow Kevinâs fine. Heâll be all right.â
Cecelia nodded, and Shepard suggested, âIâll be waiting here. Mr. Nelson, you can take Cecelia to change clothes and freshen up?â With Shepard promising to wait here, Cecelia felt at ease and left.
with Remington.
Maybe because her nerves had been tense, now that she got relaxed, she felt her legs were too weak to move.
Worrying that she would be exhausted, Remington picked her up and carried her in his arms.
He asked Fredric to book a room at a hotel near the hospital and bring their clothes over.
After taking turns to shower and change into clean clothes, they returned to the hospital.
By the time they arrived, Adam had been transferred to the ICU for observation by Shepard and his colleagues.
Looking at the one lying inside through the window, Cecelia felt so sad.
Fortunately, her brother was fine. Otherwise, how could she explain it to her mother?
So much had happened recently. They all had been admitted to the ICU one after another-first Verda, then Cynthia, and now Adam.
For now all she could do was wait patiently and pray for their quick recovery.
âCecelia, donât worry too much. You guys stay here. I have a consultation to attend. Iâll see you around,â Shepard said.
âThank you, Shepard.â Cecelia thanked him and watched him leave.
As she withdrew her gaze, the image of the dead bodies lying on the ground of Cherry Ridge came to her mind, confirming her belief that someone was trying to kill her brother.
âWho wants to kill Kevin? Have they found out?â she asked.
âWinger has conducted a preliminary investigation. The dead was a warrior from Japen, but there is no other information to determine who is behind it,â Remington said.
âA warrior⦠Who is Kevin involved with? Itâs been so many years. Who is the one behind the scenes who adopted him? Why did they want to kill him this time?â
These questions lingered in Ceceliaâs mind, but she got no answer.
âOnce Adam wakes up, everything will be clear. For now, we can only keep him safe. I guess they wanted to kill him to silence him,â Remington said.
âRight.â
To ensure Adamâs safety, Remington assigned more people to guard the entrance of the ICU.
In the dim Revenant Sect, Bemanko.
On top of the tall hidden wall, a large fan was constantly turning.
A tall figure in black stood there, and his subordinate promptly reported to him, âMaster, the latest news is that Tanner has encountered trouble. Adam is seriously injured and in the hands of Cecelia in the ICU, but he has not woken up yet.â
The man, revered as the master, slowly turned around and showed. a black-masked face.
âWe shall never let him wake up! He has betrayed me. There is not need to let him live!â
The man summoned the other four disciples of the Royal Sect and ordered them, âGo to the Cathail Republic as quickly as possible! Kill Adam and bring back the Collection of Fragrant Clothes!â
âYes, sir!â
The four disciples received their order and soon disappeared.
At the hospital.
After hearing the news, Everest rushed over from Verdaâs ward. âCece, why is your brother so seriously injured?â
âAlasâ¦â Cecelia sighed with red eyes. She couldnât mention the process, as it would make her sadder.
Everest could understand Ceceliaâs sadness and despair. It was most heartbroken to see a close familiar member lying in the ward. She hugged Cecelia and comforted her, âEverything will be all right.
Things will get better.â
Although she was sad, Cecelia didnât forget to ask about Verdaâs condition.
âHeâs much better now. I think heâll be able to recover and leave the hospital in a while!â Everest said.
âThatâs good. Go back and take care of him!â
After Everest left, Cecelia suggested, âLetâs go see Cynth. Sheâs already awake, isnât she?â
âOkay.â
Remington and Cecelia came together to Cynthiaâs VIP ward.
When they arrived, they heard Cynthia calling out from inside.
âCynthiaâ¦â Aurora was in tears, holding her daughterâs hand, but Cynthia stared at her in terror and kept calling out, âMom⦠Mom⦠Brother⦠Brotherâ¦â
âMom, whatâs wrong with my sister?â Remington rushed in, looking at Cynthia in bed.
When Cynthia heard her brotherâs voice and saw him, she caught him. âBrother⦠when⦠did Momâ¦
come backâ¦â
In fact, she wanted to ask why her mother suddenly appeared.
âSister, Mom came back a long time ago. Donât you know?â Remington asked in confusion.
Cynthia was even more surprised Cecelia came up and asked, âCynthia, are you feeling better now?â
Seeing Cecelia, she widened her eyes in shock. âWho⦠is sheâ¦â
Astonished by her words, Cecelia instinctively exchanged eye contact with Remington. âWhy doesnât Cynth recognize me?â
âSister, donât you recognize Cecelia? Cecelia and I are married, and we have four children.â
âWhat?â
Cynthia couldnât imagine it, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Remington immediately notified the doctor. The doctor came to examine Cynthia but found nothing unusual.
âEverything is normal, Mr. Nelson.â
âBut she doesnât recognize some people.â
âWe suspect that Miss Nelson has suffered damage to the hippocampus, resulting in partial memory loss. She can still recognize you, which indicates that it may be temporary amnesia. Her memory may be stuck at a certain stage. It will require further rehabilitation treatment to possibly recover.
After the doctor left, Remington, Aurora, and Cecelia discussed the situation.
Aurora sighed, âNo wonder Cynthia was so surprised to see me.â
Cecelia said, âCynthia doesnât even recognize me. Her memory may be stuck before I returned to the country.â
âI donât believe it. Let me try again.â
Unconvinced, Remington brought many family photos, and Cynthia could recognize everyone in them.
But when she was shown the photos of the four children, she was so surprised, âWhy⦠fourâ¦
She didnât remember the four children. Then, Remington mentioned the incident where she got injured, but she looked confused and didnât understand.
âMom, my sister truly doesnât remember a lot of things.â
Remington regretfully informed everyone when Ariella came to the hospital to visit Cynthia. âCece, youâre all here! My brother told me that Cynth has woken up, right? Iâm here to see her!â
âWe just came in time, Ariella. Letâs see if she still recognizes you!â Cecelia brought Ariella to the bed and asked Cynthia if she knew her. Cynthia shook her head and asked, âWho⦠is⦠she?â
Ariella was shocked. âCynth, itâs me, Ariella Nuno! You donât recognize me? You havenât forgotten my brother, have you?â
âYour brother⦠Who is heâ¦â
âG od, itâs over! Cynth doesnât even know who my brother is.â Ariella worriedly called her brother, âBrother, come here quickly. Somethingâs wrong!â
When Shepard received his sisterâs call and heard that something was wrong with Cynthia, he rushed over in fear.
âWhat happened to Cynthia?â
