Uncle...
’Isn’t that what Serena calls Ethan?’
Julian Thorne stared, stunned, at the woman clinging to him.
’She’s lost her mory, but she still rembers Ethan subconsciously.’
’So Ethan must be very important to her.’
Ethan hadn’t expected Serena to call out to him by habit.
He raised a hand to touch her and spoke tentatively, "Serena, I’m right here."
But Serena wouldn’t listen, clinging tightly to Julian Thorne without letting go.
Seeing how agitated she was, Julian Thorne looked at Ethan. "You should go. She doesn’t even recognize you right now."
But how could Ethan possibly leave?
’Serena called out to . That proves she still rembers .’
’She just needs so ti to adjust.’
Ethan continued in a soft, gentle voice, "Serena, look at . I’m Ethan."
Serena refused to look at him, clinging to Julian Thorne. "Make him leave. I don’t want to talk to him."
"Okay, I’ll make him go. Don’t be scared, Serena."
Julian Thorne shot Ethan another cold glance and said impatiently, "You see the state she’s in. Can you please stop provoking her? Just leave already."
Quinn Gardner added, "Ethan, let’s go for now. We can ask the doctor what’s going on with her, and then we’ll figure out a plan."
Ethan was speechless.
It was agonizing for him to watch Serena throw herself into another man’s arms.
’She called out my na, so why doesn’t she recognize ?’
"Let’s go, Ethan."
Quinn Gardner had to drag him away.
With no other choice, Ethan went straight to see the doctor after leaving.
The doctor described Serena’s condition and repeatedly warned them not to agitate her again.
Once he understood, Ethan returned to stand at the door to her hospital room, but he didn’t dare go back inside.
He was afraid his very appearance would frighten her again.
「Inside the hospital room.」
Julian Thorne gently eased the girl out of his embrace and studied her. "Serena, do you rember Ethan?"
Serena looked back at Julian, her large eyes blinking, and nodded.
’The na Ethan feels so familiar.’
’But I can’t rember what he looks like.’
Julian Thorne was surprised. "Then do you rember ?"
Serena nodded again.
Stunned, Julian sat down quickly, took her hand, and pressed, "Who am I? What’s my na?"
"Aren’t you Uncle?"
’I rember Uncle saved . He was so good to .’
’It’s just... I can’t rember what Uncle looks like. I try to think, but my head hurts so, so much.’
’Could it be that this handso man in front of , who’s been so kind, isn’t Uncle?’
Julian Thorne was speechless.
’So she subconsciously rembers Ethan, but has no idea what he looks like?’
’Has she mistaken for Ethan?’
"Uncle, when can I go ho? I don’t want to be here. I want to go ho."
Serena murmured.
’I don’t like it here at all. I’m a little scared.’
’I want to go to that place that feels warm and safe.’
"You need to stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation. If there are no major issues, we’ll go back."
"Okay."
Serena replied obediently.
When Julian Thorne ca out of the hospital room, he was surprised to find Ethan and Quinn still at the door.
He walked over to join them and sat down, his head bowed and his expression grim.
As Ethan stood to enter the room again, Julian stopped him. "Don’t go in. Even though she used your title, she doesn’t rember what you look like.
It seems she’s mistaken for you."
Ethan froze and turned back to look at Julian.
Julian continued, "Her condition isn’t actually that bad. I think as long as she isn’t agitated again, she should recover quickly."
The doctor had told him before that when a patient rembers certain things but not others, it’s considered selective amnesia.
It ans she only wants to rember the good things.
As for the people and events that caused her pain and sorrow, she can’t rember them at all.
Ethan didn’t listen; he pushed the door open and entered the room anyway.
Julian wanted to stop him.
But when he rembered they were husband and wife, he thought better of it.
Ethan once again stood before Serena’s bed, watching her quietly.
Serena was sitting up in bed and staring out the window. Sensing soone had entered, she turned her head to look at him.
’The man before is incredibly handso, but I don’t know him.’
’Uncle doesn’t like it when I interact with strangers.’
So Serena ignored him, becoming guarded. She asked rejectingly, "Who... who are you?"
Ethan took a tentative step toward her, his voice low and hoarse. "I’m Ethan. I’m the ’Uncle’ you were calling for."
Serena was stunned.
’He’s Ethan?’
’The Uncle who saved ?’
’Is this what he looked like?’
’Why can’t I rember?’
Serena tried her best to rember.
She tried to recall the words "Uncle" and "Ethan," which were lodged in her subconscious.
But she couldn’t rember anything.
The harder she tried to think, the more her head throbbed.
The splitting pain was unbearable.
She sat there, clutching her head with both hands, and began to struggle in agony.
"It hurts so much. My head hurts so much."
Ethan rushed to her side, pulling her into his embrace. "It’s okay, Serena, don’t be scared. I’m here. Just stop trying to think so much, and it won’t hurt."
"No, you’re not Ethan. Ethan wouldn’t hurt .
But when you get close to , my heart aches, and my head hurts so much."
Lifting her head, Serena struggled to push the man away, crying out in panic:
"Don’t co near ! I don’t know you! Uncle, where are you, Uncle...?"
Hearing Serena’s shouts, Julian Thorne rushed in.
He strode forward, yanked Ethan away, and quickly pulled Serena into his arms.
"I’m right here. Serena, what’s wrong?"
"My head hurts so much... I don’t know this man, make him leave! I hate him! When he’s here, my heart hurts... Uncle..."
Huddled in Julian Thorne’s arms, Serena trembled all over, unable to stop the frightened tears.
Protectively holding her, Julian looked at the frozen figure of Ethan and said in a low voice:
"Ethan, you see the state she’s in now. Just give her so ti."
Ethan was silent.
’I can’t believe it. The woman who willingly throws herself into another man’s arms, who resists so fiercely... she doesn’t rember who I am.’
’This is my Serena. How can she call my na but not rember ?’
Ethan couldn’t understand why this was happening.
Quinn Gardner also tried to persuade him from the side. "Ethan, let’s go. Don’t make her condition even worse."
But Ethan still didn’t want to leave.
He just stood there, motionless.
Serena secretly peeked out from Julian’s arms. Seeing that Ethan was still there, she fearfully hid again, whispering:
"Uncle, let’s go ho. I want to go ho. I don’t want to be here anymore."
"Okay, okay. We’ll go back in a little while."
While coaxing her, Julian looked at Ethan and gestured with his eyes:
"You go back first. I’ll bring her to your place later."
Ethan didn’t want to leave, but seeing Serena’s reaction to him, he knew he had no choice but to go.
He just never expected that the mont he left, Julian Thorne would disappear with Serena.
