"No, I’ll take her back tomorrow."
"That’s fine, don’t worry too much. This situation might just be temporary and won’t last long."
"Are you sure?"
Jason Hawthorne wanted a definite answer.
John cleared his throat, "I can’t be sure. mory issues are unpredictable, and there’s no psychiatrist in the world who can give you a 100% answer. It mainly depends on the patient’s own subjective thoughts."
Jason Hawthorne snorted, "That’s as good as saying nothing!"
John’s face was full of awkwardness, "But don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help Laura Quincy recall everything as quickly as possible."
Jason Hawthorne snorted again, not speaking further. He certainly believed in his friend’s dical skills, but with Laura Quincy, it was impossible for him to fully control the situation...
Especially given her current state, she completely treated him like a stranger.
A stranger who was... an older man.
Thinking about it made him feel stifled.
At night, Laura Quincy had just finished the al the nurse brought in when she heard a knock on the door. She couldn’t help but ask warily, "Who is it?"
A soft and cute child’s voice ca from outside, "Sister, it’s ."
Laura Quincy had an indescribable feeling toward this little boy, subconsciously not wanting him to co in, "Do you need sothing? I’m going to sleep."
Justin Hawthorne at the door said pitifully, "Sister, Daddy had to go take care of sothing. Can I stay in your room for a while? I promise I won’t disturb you, and I’ll be very obedient."
Maybe it was his extrely persuasive voice, or perhaps Laura Quincy couldn’t resist his pitiful pleading...
She involuntarily said, "Alright, you can co in!"
After saying this, even she found it incredible. She was not the type of woman who would be swayed by a child’s soft words...
What was going on with her?
Justin Hawthorne happily pushed the door open and said sweetly, "Sister, you’re so nice!"
Being praised made Laura Quincy a bit embarrassed. She pouted, "I’m going to sleep now."
As she spoke, she pulled the blanket over herself and lay down with her back to Justin Hawthorne.
In truth, she couldn’t sleep, but she didn’t know how to face this little brat. Spending more ti with him brought about a strange sense of familiarity...
This feeling ca too mysteriously, making her subconsciously want to resist.
Sitting on the sofa, Justin Hawthorne pursed his lips slightly. Daddy had already told him about Mommy’s condition. Her mory had regressed to six years ago, aning she thought she was only twenty...
Oh... poor Mommy!
He definitely needed to be around Mommy more so she could rember him quickly!
The next morning.
Right after Laura Quincy had received an injection, Jason Hawthorne forcibly took her away from the hospital. She was furious, "Hey! It’s too much, Mister! Can you at least get my consent first?"
Jason Hawthorne’s lips twitched violently several tis, "You don’t want to go back?"
Laura Quincy bit her lip, "Of course I want to go back to school as soon as possible, but your approach is wrong! There should be mutual respect between people, not forcing your opinions on !"
She spoke earnestly and with reason.
Jason Hawthorne was sowhat amused and exasperated, was that how Laura was six years ago? Like a rose with thorns, sharp and unyielding, always voicing her opinions against things she didn’t like or couldn’t stand.
Straightforwardly cute!
She probably didn’t know how life had gradually smoothed many of her edges six years later. Though she was still a thorny rose, the thorns were far fewer, lacking the pure straightforwardness she had now.
Jason Hawthorne suddenly felt that perhaps this was fate’s arrangent, allowing him to rediscover Laura and experience her thoughts at different ages.
It was a way to make up for the regret of forcibly keeping her by his side for a year without any exchange of words back then.
If this was a test from fate, he was willing to accept it.
"I’m sorry, I was too eager. I promise there won’t be a next ti."
Jason Hawthorne’s apologetic tone was sincere. Laura Quincy glanced at him, and the words of scolding she initially wanted to say could only be swallowed.
Alright! She thought this Mister had a bad temper, but he was sowhat different from what she imagined...
Laura Quincy was the kind of girl who wasn’t afraid of being coerced but was softened by gentleness. The harsher you were, the less she would comply. If you spoke nicely, she wouldn’t resist you as much.
It wasn’t that Jason Hawthorne fully understood her temperant but because he loved this woman now and was willing to unconditionally embrace everything about her.
If it had been six years ago, they would have been as incompatible as fire and water.
So, sotis, it really was just a trick of fate...
Laura Quincy pouted, "eting you is such bad luck, I hope I never see you again once we’re back."
Jason Hawthorne’s lips ford a wry smile, "That’s not possible. Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet, I have to take full responsibility. Once back, I’ll arrange the best doctors for you. Whether you want to stay in the hospital or at ho, you can call anyti if you need anything."
Laura Quincy furrowed her brows slightly, "How long will it take for my face to recover? I still need to go to school, especially now with finals coming up. It’s very important to ."
Jason Hawthorne’s face was full of awkwardness, how should he explain to Laura that she already graduated from university?
"Laura, actually..."
"Hey! Can you stop calling Laura? I don’t even know you! I find it uncomfortable when you try to get close like this!"
Laura Quincy said with displeasure. Although she didn’t currently dislike this Mister, she couldn’t accept him calling her "Laura" with such deep affection!
She wasn’t anyone special to him!
Such nonsense!
After she stopped him, Jason Hawthorne gave up on continuing. Never mind! Once back, he would arrange for her to stay in the hospital first. Maybe, as John said, she would rember everything in a few days.
Then he wouldn’t have to worry about her needing to go to school...
Sunstone Hospital.
Because her face was swollen, Laura Quincy abandoned the idea of going back to school imdiately and obediently followed Jason Hawthorne to the hospital he arranged.
When she t John and Mary, she treated them like strangers, indifferent.
Mary wanted to speak several tis but was stopped by John. If John hadn’t explained the situation in detail and told her to hold back before coming, she wouldn’t have been able to accept that Laura’s mory had suddenly gone back six years.
"During your hospital stay, Mary will be in charge of your daily life. You can go to her for any issues," Jason Hawthorne carefully instructed.
This was sothing he and John had discussed. Only Mary could take care of Laura well, he couldn’t trust anyone else.
Laura Quincy glanced at Mary, "Mary from Super Mario?"
Mary was suddenly overjoyed, "Laura, do you rember ?"
Laura Quincy imdiately looked at her warily, as if startled.
What the heck is going on? Why does everyone seem to know her wherever she goes, enthusiastically calling her "Laura"?
And yet, she doesn’t know any of them!
John quietly signaled to Mary, seemingly saying: Didn’t I tell you? Now is not the ti to provoke Laura further.
Mary could only tell a kind lie, "Oh... I might have mistaken you for soone else. I have a friend who looks a lot like you, so for a mont..."
Laura Quincy rolled her eyes, what a clumsy lie!
