Chapter 921 Temporary Amnesia
As she spoke, she looked at Damien patiently. “Calm down. There may be other ulterior motives behind this.”
Damien looked at her for a while before turning around silently. He looked straight at Blake. “Since you’ve already determined that I wanted to harm you why did you return to Lenoir Manor and come back to me after you went through so much trouble to rescue Cherise?”
Blake pursed his lips. His fists repeatedly clenched and unclenched at his sides. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked up at Damien seriously, “It was Cherry. I suggested to her to contact the Tanner or Miles families because I felt it would be unwise to stay here for long.”
“But Cherry still trusts you, so she pleaded with me to bring her back to Lenoir Manor no matter how difficult it is.” The boy’s words pained Damien. He pursed his lips and looked at Blake. “So, what happened after…”
“On the way back, Cherry got caught in the rain and fainted… She was like this when she regained consciousness.” Blake gazed at Cherise, slightly distressed. “I know it was risky for me to return with Cherry, but the last thing she said to me before this happened was to bring her back to look for you… She wanted to hear you say in person that you wanted her to die and that you believe she slept with Sebastian…”
“I would never wish for her to die.” Damien closed his eyes. “Nor would I ever believe she slept with Sebastian.” The man took a deep breath and reached out, wanting to hold Cherise’s hand. “No one knows her better than I do.” But she looked at him as if he were a stranger and withdrew her hand. The man closed his eyes and instructed Mr. Hampson hoarsely. “Summon Jacob.”
Half an hour later, Jacob sat on the sofa, observing the woman lying on her stomach behind Blake in the corner of the couch. He carefully sized her up and sighed indifferently. “Damien, don’t be too hasty, Cherry’s reaction is typical of someone who has been hurt.”
“As Blake mentioned, perhaps she also believes you want to kill her, so she’s overwhelmed with grief and wearied from the trip back. These emotions and symptoms are intertwined, which causes the brain to have selective amnesia.”
“But based on Cherise’s current condition, it should be temporary. It will take her half a year to recover at most. This is good news.” After that, he sighed nonchalantly. “I found some drugs in her blood, and I believe it’s related to her current amnesia.”
“I’ll take a sample of her blood for experts to analyze as I’m not well-versed in drugs. Once the drugs are identified and the appropriate antidote is found, I’m confident that it won’t take as long for her memory to recover.”
“Your role during this time is to be by her side.” After that, Jacob raised his hand and patted Damien’s shoulder gently. “She’s in this state because of you. As long as you provide her with enough care and affection, you’ll gradually awaken her memories of you, and she’ll recover faster.”
Damien looked at the woman in the distance, who gazed at him blankly like a child. A distressed expression flickered through his eyes, “Are you sure her memory will recover soon?”
“Yes.” Jacob nodded. “This is temporary amnesia caused by trauma. She’ll recover soon.”
