As a result, Nathan could only follow suit and angrily watch ‘Peppa Pig’.
Judge’s favorite films were ‘Peppa Pig’ and ‘Brother Bear’. Apart from that, he was picky and did not watch films where the main character was another animal.
Michael walked downstairs and sat on the couch in the living room before joining them to watch ‘Peppa Pig’. As it was rather late, Nathan was about to head upstairs to sleep. He was here to accompany Michael since Stanley and Sean were still at the research center.
Before Nathan went to bed, he shot a glance at Michael before finally going upstairs without saying another word.
Even after a long time, his heart still felt as though it had been ripped into pieces. He could not calm down and did not dare to allow his thoughts to drift. Since he was unable to sleep, he merely sat there in silence as he watched ‘Peppa Pig’.
After watching the film, Judge took another movie and placed it in front of Michael. The husky was indicating that he wanted to watch ‘Cats and Dogs’, so Michael changed the disk for him before they watched the film together.
They then continued to watch ‘Hero Dog’, ‘Air Buddy’, ‘Eight Below’, and ‘Firehouse Dog’ followed by hundreds of episodes of ‘Tom and Jerry’.
Judge continued to watch those films with Michael while looking obedient and cute. Once they were done with ‘Eight Below’, it left the film’s cover on Michael’s lap.
Michael glanced at it—the film was about huskies that were stranded in the South Pole and successfully survived a snowstorm. In the end, they managed to save themselves and wait for their owners to pick them up.
After looking at the box, he placed it aside. However, Judge brought the box to him again and exposed the side with a few handsome huskies. Then, the dog raised its head and looked at him.
Michael’s reaction was rather slow. After a while, he finally understood what was going on—Judge wanted to be in a movie like those huskies in ‘Eight Below’. No wonder it’s so obedient today! Seems like Judge has some plans in his mind. Idiot dog!
After rubbing Judge’s head and holding it in his arms, Michael continued to watch the movie with the husky.
The next afternoon, he woke up in the kennel after receiving Justin’s call.
With a heavy tone, Justin announced, “It’s done.”
Michael rose to his feet and patted the dog fur from his thighs. After having some food, he headed out the door and brought Nathan along to the research center on the other side of the city.
When they approached the place, the shredding pain Michael experienced before was gone—it was replaced with peace and blank confusion.
In the ward, he finally saw Celine, who looked as white as a sheet of paper. She had a blank and vacant expression in her eyes as she curiously looked at Justin as if he was a stranger.
Letter by letter, Justin taught, “Celine Fletcher. C-e-l-i-n-e. F-l-e-t-c-h-e-r.”
Celine had the innocent smile of a child as she repeated after him. “Celine Fletcher.”
Justin took a mirror and pointed at her reflection as he continued to patiently teach her. “You are Celine Fletcher. I am Justin Mitchell.”
She then responded, “Justin Mitchell.”
It was evident she had lost her memories.
Even though all her past memories were lost, her instincts were still there and she was able to learn things quickly. After hearing her name once, she was able to understand that it was hers.
Upon looking at the scene, Michael did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
In the end, he turned to leave.
