Chapter 1355:

Upon arriving at the hospital, they went to Shaun’s ward, where a flurry of medical activity surrounded his bed. Doctors and nurses moved with urgent precision, their faces masks of professional concern. After a tense wait, Shaun’s doctor approached them, his features etched with gravity.

“Shaun has woken up. He’s physically able to move about freely, which is positive. However, we are facing a serious issue…” He hesitated, as if the next words weighed heavily on him.

“He has lost his memory.”

Elyse gasped, “What?”

The doctor continued, “The trauma from the accident has damaged his brain. He doesn’t remember anyone, not even himself. He’s in a state of complete amnesia.”

The weight of such a profound loss of identity left Elyse speechless, her mind wrestling with the implications as they stood enveloped in heavy silence, each lost in their thoughts.

Elyse stood outside the ward, her gaze fixed on Shaun, who sat quietly on the hospital bed. His head was lowered, and he was surrounded by a cluster of doctors, looking lost and vulnerable. The sight tugged at her heart.

With a worried expression, Elyse turned to the doctor. “Is there really nothing he remembers? Has he forgotten everything?”

The doctor’s brows furrowed, his tone heavy. “We can’t confirm he’s forgotten everything, but it seems that way. Some memories might resurface with specific triggers, but others could be gone forever.”

Elyse sighed deeply, her heart aching. “That’s so cruel…” She glanced at Shaun again.

Jayden, beside her, looked equally troubled. This was uncharted territory. If Shaun hadn’t lost his memory, Jayden could manage things as always. But now, every step required extra caution.

“I’ll contact his family,” Jayden finally said. He knew this was bigger than him.

Elyse nodded. As Jayden stepped out to make the call, she walked into the ward, her footsteps soft. The doctors and nurses had left, leaving only her and Shaun.

Sensing her presence, Shaun lifted his head. His clear, innocent eyes met hers, filled with curiosity and confusion. Elyse moved closer, bending slightly.

This version of Shaun was entirely different. His amnesia had stripped away his sharp, enigmatic aura, leaving behind a man as pure and unguarded as a child.

Her chest tightened as she tried to adjust to this unfamiliar side of him.

Shaun studied her intently. After a brief pause, he hesitantly asked, “Are you my girlfriend?”

Elyse froze, startled, and quickly stepped back. “No, I’m not. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
