Chapter 1361:
Tracy raised her hand and pinched his cheek firmly. When his skin turned red, she let go, but he still didn’t react. Reassured that Shaun was out of sorts, Tracy dropped her guard. She stroked his cheek casually, her touch light at first, then more playful. When that didn’t amuse her enough, she lightly slapped his face, watching the skin flush.
“I have to admit, I like this version of you. I hope you stay clueless forever,” she said mischievously, grinning.
After speaking, she slid her hand under the blanket and pinched him hard. A faint wince crossed Shaun’s otherwise blank face as the pain registered. Satisfied, Tracy straightened up, her frustrations vented, and walked out of the ward.
Shaun’s family arrived at the hospital in a frenzy the following morning. Velma, Shaun’s mother, burst into tears at the sight of her son. The noise stirred Shaun from his groggy state. Blinking slowly, he opened his eyes to see two strangers hovering over him.
“Who are you? And can you take your crying outside? It’s too loud,” he said.
Velma gasped, her tears flowing faster. “Shaun! My boy! Don’t you recognize your mom? How can you be so heartless?”
Shaun frowned, clearly puzzled. “My mom? I don’t feel anything for you. Are you sure you’re really my mom?”
Velma clutched her chest. Her face twisted with pain. Hanley, Shaun’s father, quickly stepped in, his voice trembling. “What about me? Do you know who I am?”
Shaun tilted his head, studying him. “No idea. Who are you?”
Hanley’s lips quivered. “I’m your dad! How could you forget your own parents?”
Shaun scratched his head. He had no idea. They could be his parents, but he felt no connection. Velma’s breathing grew shallow. “Call Jayden! Now! Someone has to explain this!”
Hanley sighed and called Jayden. When Jayden arrived, Velma was recounting Shaun’s childhood, desperately trying to rekindle his memories. But Shaun wasn’t listening. He yawned repeatedly, his boredom evident as he fought to stay awake. Hanley watched, his concern deepening.
As Jayden walked in, Velma rushed to him, her voice shaking angrily. “How did my son end up like this? You owe us an explanation!”
