Chapter 486: Chapter 489: Lily Doesn’t Remember Him Anymore

“Mr. Lucas, don’t get agitated.” Jacob looked at the dejected Aidan Lucas, not understanding the situation in his heart.

This man is clearly a good husband who loves his wife, yet somehow, Diana slandered him as a scumbag and even devised such a trick to manipulate him.

“Doctor Richardson, I’m fine… go on.” Aidan Lucas sighed and sat back down on the sofa.

Jacob had no choice but to put on his professional attitude and continue discussing ‘the condition’.

“Mrs. Lucas has a blood clot in her brain. I mentioned before that if the hematoma compresses her cranial nerves, it may cause confusion, and even coma. Fortunately, Mrs. Lucas’s luck is good, and she is now awake, which is already very fortunate.”

“Unfortunately, that hematoma still has an impact on her brain. In medical terms, this condition—stemming from external injuries forming a blood clot and compressing the cranial nerves leading to amnesia—is called temporary amnesia. That is to say, patients may recover at any time, just as long as the hematoma dissipates.”

“How long will that take, exactly? To dissipate?”

“That’s hard to say. If it’s quick, a month or two; if it’s slow, several years… or even their entire life.”

“A lifetime…” Aidan Lucas’s face changed.

“Hold on, if this amnesia is caused by that hematoma…” Aidan contemplated and looked up, “If that’s the case, can’t she be cured by removing the blood clot?”

Jacob nodded but then shook his head, “In theory, that’s true, but in practice, it’s too difficult. Not to mention that the blood clot is close to the brain stem and the surgery would be both difficult and risky. Even if surgery were possible, Mrs. Lucas is pregnant; at a time like this, how could she undergo brain surgery.”

Upon hearing the two words ‘brain surgery’, Aidan Lucas immediately dismissed the idea.

The risks of brain surgery are too high.

If he had to choose between brain surgery for Lily Gray and her lifelong amnesia, he would rather she live with amnesia.

After all, whether she had her memories or not, he would take care of her for a lifetime.

While thinking this, Aidan Lucas suddenly realized another terrifying possibility.

“By the way, I’ve noticed that my wife isn’t just suffering from simple amnesia. Just now… she even seemed to remember some things from the past, but she’s forgotten everything about our marriage.”

“In the past?” Jacob silently scolded Diana in his heart.

Damn it, the amnesia she caused is so advanced that it even resulted in selective memory loss.

“Yes… she seems to remember things from about three or four months ago.”

At that time, Lily Gray hadn’t divorced Austin Lucas yet.

“Ah, if that’s the case, the possibility of temporary selective amnesia is more probable. However, we still need to wait for tests to confirm the exact situation. Mr. Lucas… forgive me for being blunt, but it’s best to see Mrs. Lucas less often for now. Try not to stimulate her.”

These last words were specifically dictated by Diana.

Jacob quietly apologized to Aidan Lucas in his heart.

“All right, I understand.” Aidan Lucas stood up, looking somewhat unsteady on his feet.

He looked up at Lily Gray.

Feeling his gaze, Lily Gray’s petite body shrank further into Diana’s arms.

It seemed like she was very afraid of him…

So frightened that her entire body curled up.

A tiny ball, huddled in the corner of the bed.

Hiding beneath the blanket, stealthily watching him with her fearful and uneasy peach blossom eyes.

Not because she liked him, but because she needed to guard against him.

His little one, one day, would come to guard against him like this…

A sudden sense of desolation and defeat welled up in his heart.
