Let's Get Married

Chapter 561: Forget Who He Is

The word hits Rex hard like a thunderbolt.

For a few seconds, his mind goes blank. He can’t hear anything. Everything seems to have gone. All he could see is her calm, indifferent eyes.

Who is he?

She asks him... who he is.

Rex straightens up his back and withdraws his hand on her face immediately as if it burned. He even takes a step back, not knowing what to say.

Frowning, Karl steps forward and opens her eyelids to take a look. She is sober. But how could she not recognize Rex?

He asks tentatively, "And do you know who I am?"

Lily stares at Karl's face closely. 'This guy is not as handsome and sharp as the one before. He looks gentler.' But no matter how hard she racks her brains to recall him, she can’t figure out who Karl is either.

She can only shake her head. "I don't know."

Karl's eyebrows almost twist together. He pulls Sally over in the last glimmer of hope, "What about her? Do you remember her?"

Lily only feels as if her brain stopped functioning. She tries her best to think, wanting to match the face with someone in her memory. Unfortunately, it is all in vain. She has slight headaches and feels as if something were stirring in her brain.

She closes her eyes tightly and lets out an uncomfortable cry.

"Alright, alright. Leave it alone. You just woke up and need to rest." Karl interrupts her recollection immediately, not wanting to worsen her injuries again. Moreover, it's not beneficial to her.

Rex stands at the back all the time. He wants to approach her and take a good look at her, but he couldn't bear those emotionless eyes at all.

The medical staff check the data on the instrument. After confirming that there's nothing wrong, they leave the ward. Karl asks Rex to go to his temporary office and looks at him seriously. "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to have her head examined later. After all, she has experienced such a terrible explosion and more than ten days of shock. She just wakes up. It's normal for her to lose her memory for a short while."

Only then does Rex recover from the shock of Lily's amnesia. He feels as if there were a big hole in his chest and it were stuffed with cold air. "Could it be that she will never recover her memory?"

Karl opens his mouth. He wants to say no, but as a doctor, he couldn't guarantee him without absolute confidence.

He spits out the word with extreme difficulty, "Yes."

The word pulls out most of Rex's strength. He doesn't even have time to celebrate before God plays another serious trick on him.

He takes a deep breath, and grits his teeth as his cheeks bulge. After a while, he says, "Let's run a test first. We'll talk about it after the results come out."

After Lily wakes up, she sees different people busy around her. She has no idea what kind of illness she is suffering from, but every part of her body is extremely uncomfortable. Especially her back, which

is wrapped in so many layers of bandages that she couldn't move at all.

She could vaguely feel that she must be seriously injured, otherwise, she wouldn't have been like this.

"Miss, you must not get out of bed, nor should you move. Your body is extremely fragile now. Please be careful." When the nurse notices that Lily is trying to move, she reminds her eagerly.

With an oxygen inhaler on her face, Lily has difficulty in speaking, "What's wrong with me?"

Karl has forbidden all the medical staff from telling Lily about her condition.

So the nurse avoids eye contact with her when being asked. "I'm not very clear about the details. You should ask Doctor Karl directly later."

"Is Doctor Karl the guy who asked me if I remembered him?"

"Right."

As a result, when Karl goes over for the examination with others, the first thing Lily asks is, "What's wrong with me?"

Karl is caught off guard by her sudden question. Fortunately, he has come up with a reason already and quickly calms himself down before he lies. "There's a problem with your nerves. You fell accidentally and have damaged nerves in your spine, so you can't move now."

Lily is confused, "Then why are there so many bandages on my body?" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"You need to be medicated."

"Medicated?"

"Right. To stimulate your body, you need both inside and outside help. Nerve damage is not easy to cure." After the nonsense, Karl quickly changes the topic, "I'm going to run a brain examination on you now. There won't be any discomfort during the examination, so don't be nervous."

The medicine and equipment they bring from the research and development lab of Karl's Hospital are all the best. Even the entire medical community around the world is not necessarily better equipped than Karl, not to mention the hospital in Country Y.

That's why Karl had to personally come here after receiving the news. He is indeed excellent in both medical skills and technologies.

Lily doesn't suspect him. She could not move her neck, so she could only wide open her eyes and watch as Karl placed a semi-circular hollow white cover on her head.

All sorts of wires are connected to the instrument. Next to her hand is a small connection display device. Karl pushes some button and the device emits a bright light. The light doesn't reach her eyes, but she could still vaguely sense the powerful brightness.

Within ten minutes, the inspection is over.

Karl looks at the result in his hand. As he reads the data line by line, his expression turns gloomier. When his gaze falls on Lily again, it is icy.

Lily has a bad premonition. After waking up, she always feels something strange. But she couldn't figure out what is going wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Karl purses his thin lips and looks down again at the test result in his hand. He looks over and over again. After confirming that the data was correct, he is not happy at all, though he should be happy.

Facing Lily's confused eyes, it is even harder for him to say anything.

He swallows the words on the tip of his tongue. "It's fine. The data is normal. Don't worry."

After saying it, he leaves the ward without giving her the chance to ask any questions.

He hands over the latest examination results to the man in the office and doesn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"The damage to her brain isn't serious. I exam her nerves and hippocampus. There's nothing wrong with them. So it's not an external cause of amnesia. It's—" He pauses and lets out a long sigh of relief before continuing, "Psychological problems."

Rex looks at the unfamiliar data on it, his heart racing, "Psychological?"

"Yes, we call it psychogenic amnesia. She has suffered too much damage and trauma, so her body chose to forget them. It's caused by her mind, but it's uncontrollable. That is to say, it's her brain, not her own rationality, that makes the 'forget' signal." Karl tries his best to explain it to Rex in understandable language. "It seems that she can recognize herself, but she almost forgets everyone else, including you and me. It's selective amnesia. We need to communicate with her to know which stage she is in."

"So she does... forget about me?" Rex almost can't believe his ears. He has been looking forward to her waking up for so many days. And after all the suffering, she wakes up and that's what he gets.

Karl couldn't bear to see the look on Rex's face and could only tell the truth, "For the time being, yes."
