After a series of examinations, the doctor asked George and Atwood to go to his office. He wanted to
ask them about Stanford’s medical record, and also he had something to tell him.
“Through the examination on the shadow in his brain, we found it might be extravasated blood.
However, it doesn’t seem to be caused this time. Has his brain-injured before?” asked the doctor.
Atwood said, “He used to have a car accident abroad. His leg was injured, but his head...” He thought
about it and continued, “The doctor didn’t mention his head was also injured.”
“It was caused internally. There was one possibility that he didn’t have an obvious injury externally.”
George couldn’t be so calm as Atwood. He asked, “Doc, please tell us directly what happened to my
brother?”
The doctor thought for a moment and answered, “I guess the extravasated blood in his brain has
pressed his memory nerves, so he has forgotten something. That’s why he looked blank when he woke
up.”
George almost lost his mind. “Are you kidding me, Doc? We’re not in a TV drama or a novel. How
could he lose his memories?”
“Can you just shut up?” Atwood snapped, “Let’s listen to the doctor first.”
George couldn’t accept the fact at all. Hence, he couldn’t keep calm. “Haven’t you heard what the
doctor just said?” he asked.
“If you kept making noises, could Mr. James get better?” Atwood was completely angry. “If you spoke
again, I’ll throw you out.”
George snorted. “Who do you think you are? I dare you to throw me out!”
The doctor thought that they were too noisy. He said indifferently, “Can you just finish arguing with each
other outside, please? When you calm down, we can continue talking.”
Both men shushed immediately, especially George. If it were Atwood who had said so, he wouldn’t
quiet down so quickly.
“I believe you both should have known the current condition now. We also have ways to cure him. After
all, medical skills are highly developed now. Even the craniotomy is quite advanced now, which is also
the only way to cure him. You’d better discuss whether to take this operation or not. After all, all
operations have risks.” After finishing his words, the doctor asked them to leave the office. “You can
think about it first.”
Atwood and George were completely silent. Out of the doctor’s office, they were walking in the corridor
quietly.
It seemed that they were still digesting what the doctor had said.
When they almost arrived at the door of Stanford’s ward, neither spoke.
When Atwood pushed the door open, he saw Stanford looked over at them when heard the sound of
the door. Stanford was in a striped patient gown with a bandaged head.
Looking at Stanford, Atwood didn’t know what to speak.
To be exact, he was still unwilling to believe what the doctor had said. He was Stanford’s immediate
relative, so he couldn’t make any decisions.
George also dared not to make any decisions easily.
After all, there were risks for the operation. In case, some accident happened, George wouldn’t forgive
himself.
He smiled at Stanford. “Hi, Stanford.”
Stanford didn’t respond to him. He said, “You may wait outside.”
George blinked. “Stanford, I’m your younger brother. If you need any help, you can tell me. I can do it
for you.”
“I don’t have anything for you to do,” said Stanford.
“All right.” George was a bit disappointed. He turned around and walked out. When passing Atwood by,
he glanced at Atwood.
Atwood ignored him. After George went out, he closed the door of the ward and looked at Stanford.
“Yes, Mr. James?” he asked.
Stanford didn’t reply to him for a long time.
“I’m Atwood Barret,” Atwood said, “I’ve been working for you for several years.”
“Do you know why I wanted you to stay here alone with me?” Stanford asked him.
Atwood shook his head.
“You are the first person I’ve seen after I woke up. I guess you must be close to me,” he said.
Atwood nodded. “Of course.”
“Why did I get injured?” asked Stanford.
He had forgotten everything. Now his mind was completely blank.
He could only think and examine everyone around him by his thoughts.
The police had put this case on file already, but they failed to find any clue. Atwood answered honestly,
“You were attacked by some gangsters.”
“Did I offend anyone?” Stanford asked again.
Atwood guessed that it might have something to do with Amanda. After all, her younger brother was in
City C with a large influence. He could definitely do such a thing without any trace.
However, Atwood had no evidence.
He shook his head and answered, “I don’t know either. It might be a robbery.”
Stanford frowned. “Ehn?”
Atwood gave him all the belongings from his pocket. “Mr. James, please take a look at them.”
Stanford took them over. He saw a wallet, a wristwatch, and a ring.
He concentrated on the ring. “This ring...” he asked.
Atwood also saw it and recognized it.
It was a ring customized for Amanda when Stanford was marrying her. Later, they divorced and
Amanda vanished, the ring was missing. Then the ring appeared in an auction. Stanford spent three
hundred thirty million to buy it back. He wanted to put it back on Amanda’s ring finger.
He had been in City C all the time just for doing such a thing.
Stanford looked up at Atwood and asked, “Am I supposed to give it to someone?”
