The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 48

Judson huffed with frustration and resignation but still glanced at the doctor before he walked out. "Be good and answer my wife's questions, or I'll ensure you regret it!"

The doctor felt a chill run down his spine and responded promptly, "Yes, Mr. Buchanan. You can count on it."

With that, Judson left, the door slamming shut behind him.

"Doctor, I'm not his wife. I mean it. But I don't understand why does he think I am?" Nancy asked, perplexed.

"Mr. Collins, please take my question seriously. Don’t make me question your expertise."

Stunned, Mr. Collins looked at Nancy’s sincere face and replied with a furrowed brow, "If you're not his wife, you must be someone deeply ingrained in his memory. Or perhaps it's some imprinting phenomenon. His amnesia could cause him to mistake you for his wife."

Nancy stayed quiet, taking in the information.

Trying to offer comfort, Mr. Collins cleared his throat lightly and continued, "Patients can alter their memories. When Mr. Buchanan fully recovers, it will become clear you have no connection to him."

So, they had to wait for Judson to regain his memories so he could understand she had nothing to do with him.

Nancy furrowed her brow. "Isn't there a surgery or something that can fix this?"

"No, Mr. Buchanan's psychological trauma is pressing on his nerves. Any attempt at surgery might lead to cerebral palsy," Mr. Collins refused sternly.

Then, shifting gears, he added, "If you have no ties to Mr. Buchanan, you might consider taking him to the police station tomorrow to try and locate his family."

Looking at the darkening sky, Nancy realized it was the only way forward.

"Alright, thank you, doctor."

As Nancy turned to leave, she opened the hospital room door to find Judson, hands behind his back, giving her a look of utter desolation.

Despite being taller, his eyes were red, the picture of abandonment.

Judson cautiously took Nancy's hand. "Babe, please don't leave me. I'll be good."
