Chapter 887
Chapter: 887
At Mercy Hospital, the room echoed with the cold, mechanical beeps of the monitor as Theodore Lay in a coma on the bed. By his side, Aldus anxiously waited, refusing to be separated from his beloved grandson.
The thought of Theodore not waking up sent shivers down his spine. Finally, on the third day, Theodore began to stir.
Aldus immediately called for a swarm of doctors, keeping a wary eye on Theodore. It was only when Theodore fully opened his eyes that Aldus cautiously asked, “Holden, are you all right?”
After a moment of silence, Theodore raised his head and inquired, “Who are you? And what’s my name?”
Aldus felt a brief moment of bewilderment. He then realized that Theodore’s memory loss was likely a consequence of his surgery. He responded quickly, “I’m your Grandpa.”
He swiftly pulled out his phone and showed Theodore pictures of them together. “Grandpa?” Theodore looked at the pictures on the phone and got more confused.
Aldus pointed out some wounds on Theodore’s body and gave him a couple of key pieces of information to help him believe that he was teLLing the truth.
Examining the evidence, Theodore slowly began to believe that the person before him was indeed his grandfather and that the car accident had caused his memory loss.
Once Theodore finally accepted his own identity and the truth of the accident, Aldus excused himself from the room to discuss Theodore’s condition with Mitchel.
News of Theodore’s condition had reached Mitchel as well, but upon arrival, he noticed Aldus catching up with Theodore and decided to give them some privacy since Theodore’s condition seemed stable.
When Aldus approached him later, Mitchel remarked, “I’ll conduct a physical examination on him. Amnesia is one of the less dangerous aftereffects of this brain surgery.”
Having mentally prepared himself for the procedure, Aldus felt grateful that Theodore had been brought back to life under such circumstances.
With a sigh, Aldus inquired, “Is there a chance for him to recover his memory?”
“It's hard to say,” Mitchel mused. “External interference won't do much. However, if he actively reconnects with people and things from his past, it can greatly aid in jogging his memory.”

While Mitchel believed that Aldus desired Theodore’s memory to return, Aldus hesitated before asking, “So if he doesn’t interact with his past, he might never get his memory back, is that right?”
Hearing Aldus’ inquiry, Mitchel paused, his mind rapidly processing this unexpected development. It seemed that Aldus had no intention of helping the patient recover his lost memories, which surprised Mitchel.
Mitchel inquired curiously, “Why are you opposed to him retrieving his past?” Aldus heaved a deep, heavy sigh, stating with a note of regret in his voice, “The fault Lies with me. | failed in my duties as a father, and as a grandfather. My grandson has a past marred by pain and hardship.
It might be a blessing in disguise if he could wipe those tormenting memories from his mind. All | yearn for now is his future happiness.”
Aldus’ revelations left Mitchel without a response. This was a private matter, and he did not consider it appropriate to delve too deeply. Yet he couldn’t ignore the uncanny resemblance between Holden and Theodore.
Sensing the lull, Aldus continued, “Now that the issues in Eleymond have been settled, once his condition stabilizes, we'll depart and head back to Mistlyn. I'll devote myself to giving him the guidance he deserves.”
Mitchel gleaned from Aldus’ words that Holden had been in Eleymond before. The striking similarity between Holden and Theodore compelled him to ask, “Was Holden ever associated with the Anderson family? There is a striking resemblance between him and an acquaintance of mine. Is he married?”
Mitchel’s knowledge of Theodore appeared to have surprised Aldus, and his expression darkened.
