Savannah was like a kitty lost in the forest, isolated, helpless, and frightened. Kevin, in front of her, was the only hope. His words of comfort quieted her for a while. Finally, she nodded and lay down.
Kevin tucked her up in bed and rang the bell.
A mont later, the doctor ca in. Kevin stood up and described how Savannah felt. Surprised by what Kevin said, the doctor hurriedly asked the nurse to take Savannah to the examination room for more examination.
It was not until early evening that Savannah was sent back to the ward. She ate so porridge and felt sleepy again. But she was afraid that Kevin, the only one she was familiar with, would disappear. Lying on the bed, she forced her eyes open and stared at Kevin. She dared not sleep.
Kevin's heart ached for her. He sat at the edge of the bed and held her cold hand. "Rest assured. I'll be here with you."
Fully relieved, Savannah closed her eyes and fell asleep in peace, her hand still in Kevin's. Kevin did not leave imdiately, nor did he take away his hand.
The color of the sky deepened as the sun went down. After a while, the door opened, and a nurse ca in quietly. She ca to Kevin and whispered sothing in his ear. Kevin nodded and put Savannah's hand in the bed gingerly.
Looking at Kevin's perfect face, the nurse felt her heart beat violently. She envied the young woman who could enjoy the care of such a handso gentleman. So young – and attractive, very attractive. He was tall, dressed in a white shirt, and looked smart, and his intense, bright blue eyes regarded the young woman affectionately all the ti.
What's more, he must be a man of position since he could take soone here for treatnt. It seed that he had a special relationship with the governor.
Now the mysterious man cared for the young patient with all his tenderness. How lucky the young woman was!
Kevin knocked on the door and entered the doctor's office.
"Mr. Wills, please sit down." The doctor nodded politely to Kevin.
Although Mr. Smith didn't say who this young man was, the doctor could guess they must have a close relationship.
"Doctor, what's the result? Why doesn't she rember a lot of things?" Kevin got right to the point.
"I've perford a physical exam, including a neurologic exam on Miss Schultz," said the doctor, looking grave. "The bleeding before her delivery must have affected the cranial nerves in the mory area, which obliterated so of her mory. It's not common. I've scanned her brain, and I guess, besides the loss of blood, there's another possibility."
"What's it?" Kevin held his breath.
"I suspect that Miss Schultz had experienced mory loss before. There's a blood clot in the area of her brain for mory. It has no great influence on her normal life, but she hasn't recovered from her last loss of mory yet. The mory neuron is still an injury. So, it's easier for her to have mory loss again. I just tested her and found that she's no idea of her last mory loss at all. I an, it might have been quite severe last ti."
Kevin changed color. Savannah had experienced mory loss before? When did that happen?
After a long pause, Kevin asked, "do you know when and what's the cause of her last mory loss?"
The doctor looked at the brain CT scan and said, "from my experience, Miss Schultz might have suffered severe ningitis, and it caused considerable mory loss. I believe it happened at least seven years ago."
Kevin corrugated his brows in thought. Seven years ago? Savannah was only twelve or thirteen years old at that ti. Her father was still alive, and she had not yet been sent to the orphanage...
According to the doctor's diagnosis, it was likely that Savannah had suffered from severe ningitis when she was young and lost so of her mories. She had not completely recovered from that illness, which was a cause of her mory loss this ti.
Kevin didn't want to believe it, but it was the fact.
"Doctor, will she be all right in this condition? Is she able to get her mory back?" Kevin asked, his voice strained.
The doctor took a deep breath and looked puzzled. "In many cases, the lost mory may be reversible with treatnt. But it depends. It's been years since Miss Schultz lost her mory the first ti, and it's going to be hard this ti. Of course, dical science is progressing rapidly in our country. I believe she'll recover one day."
That was to say, Savannah lost all mories of recent events, her entanglent with Dylan, her marriage, and the baby… Everything beca the mories that might never be recalled deep in her mind.
Of course, she also forgot the pain of being abandoned by her husband just before their wedding.
Kevin's eyes lit up at this thought.
Nobody would be happy to lose so mories, but it might be lucky to forget sothing painful for Savannah.
Her mory loss could be the beginning of a new life. She was finally able to leave Dylan and start a new life!
There was a long silence before Kevin made a decision.
"I need your help, doctor."
"Go ahead, please."
"Please don't tell Miss Schultz that she's had a child. Try to falsify another dical record. Anyway, don't let her suspect she's ever given birth." He believed that it was not difficult for the doctor here. As long as Savannah did not delve into the matter, the truth might be kept from her.
The doctor seed to understand his aning. He thought for a while and nodded.
"I see."

The next morning
Early morning rays of sunlight were crossing the window of the ward and falling on the bed.
When Kevin pushed the door open, Savannah, in a hospital gown, just sat gazing vacantly out of the window.
