"The patient's condition is quite special; his vital signs and other symptoms are normal. We currently believe that the patient has temporary amnesia after being severely shocked before the outbreak."
Joshua Williams frowned: "So, doctor, when will my son recover?"
"Mr. Williams, you don't need to worry, your son's life is not in danger at the moment. However, the time it takes for your son's memory to recover varies from patient to patient; some only need a few days to recover, while others take a whole year to remember. The important thing now is to find the person your son often mentions. If we can help, the recovery process will be faster."
Emelyn was both worried and reluctant: "Doctor, do we really need that person's help? We are his parents, can't we do anything?"
The doctor pushed up his glasses and said softly, "Mrs. Emelyn, but now your son only remembers that person; he no longer remembers you and your husband."
The words seemed to stab the mother's heart.
Emelyn could not have imagined that, just because she said a few resentful words, she accidentally caused her son to lose his memory.
After the doctor left, she asked in confusion, "Joshua, what should we do? Or should we go ask that person for help?"
Joshua coldly snorted, "Is there any other way? What if our son doesn't get better this year? Do you have a better way?"
In his heart, his anger towards Emelyn reached its peak. Previously, because he didn't have the money to marry her, she didn't understand much. Now that he had become successful, she still refused to change, no longer having the temperament of a noble lady. Every time she encountered difficulties, she would make a fuss.
Their son was the same; just because of a small matter, he tormented himself to the point of being hospitalized. How stupid.
Emelyn had just had a big argument with Emma, and now turned to look at his daughter: "Elenore, no matter what happens, you must bring Emma here. Our whole family can only count on you."
Elenore, who shouldered the responsibility, nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely bring Emma to take care of my brother."

The next morning, Emma quietly pushed the paper in her hand towards Alex: "Alex, although we are married, we still don't understand each other completely. Some things should still be agreed upon first."
Alex frowned. His slender fingers picked up the paper: "Additional agreement after marriage?"
"Hmm." Emma frowned and nodded.
Alex pouted, lazily saying, "First of all, don't wear revealing clothes in public." The word "revealing" made him pause for a moment, then he smiled sarcastically: "Emma, it seems like the bathroom in my room last night wasn't a public place."
Emma blushed: "I'll pay attention in the future, you have to knock on the door before entering the room."
He smiled lightly, continuing to read: "Second, if you're not home, you have to notify me in advance, respect each other's living hours, after ten o'clock at night, try to keep quiet."
"You have to do the same."
"No problem. Just, Emma, how long do you need me to notify you? A week or a month?"
Emma turned away, pretending not to hear, then coughed lightly: "... It doesn't need to be that long. When you're not home, just say something. I like to lock the door before going to bed."
"Okay." Alex smiled, his eyes shining with undisguised indulgence.
"Third, even if it is a voluntary marriage, adultery is not allowed. If you have feelings for someone else, you must clearly tell the other person, respect each other, and resolve the marriage peacefully," She continued.
He raised his eyebrows, "Do I look like someone who cheats?"
"Sorry, I'm just in case, there are some things that are not trustworthy, it's best to write them down. Of course, the terms in this supplementary contract will also bind me."
Alex's expression was slightly solemn. "Don't compare me to scum like Daniel."
The unimportant terms behind, Alex quickly skimmed through and signed, then pushed the paper back to her.
"Except for the last clause about shared expenses, I've already crossed it out. I have no opinion on the other things. You sign too."
"But..."
"Don't worry, I, Alex, am married and still share money with my wife; they will laugh to death."
Emma blushed slightly, turned her head away, "Okay then."

Elenore went straight to Emma's company, "Where's Emma? I have to find her."
The receptionist was frightened by her aura: "Please wait a moment. Miss Emma is on a business trip today; she probably won't be back at the company today. If you need to find her, just call her."
Emma had already blocked all their phone numbers. If she could call, why did she have to come here?
When Elenore was about to leave, she happened to meet Stella passing by. Stella was Emma's colleague. She asked Stella for Emma's phone number.
When Emma got out of the car, she received a call from an unknown number: "Hello?"
"Emma, did you do something wrong that you don't dare to answer our phone?"
The cold voice made Emma step back a little. She raised her head to look at Terrence and apologized: "I'm going to answer the phone."
Terrence frowned: "Hurry up."
Emma hurriedly walked out, standing under the shade of a tree: "Elenore, your brother and I are divorced. What do you mean by following me like this?"
"I followed you? Do you know how much you have hurt my brother? Don't you feel guilty?"
"I have hurt him?"
Elenore raised her head: "Yes. Emma, now I order you to go to the hospital to take care of my brother, immediately, do you understand?"
Emma frowned in confusion. Daniel usually took his health very seriously; he went for a regular check-up every year. Why did he have to be hospitalized now?
But she quickly dismissed this thought; it had nothing to do with her.
"Elenore, please don't act like a queen. I have no responsibility or obligation to take care of my ex-husband. If your family can't hire a nurse, you can prioritize thinking about Veronika, your best future sister-in-law."
A *beep* sounded, the phone hung up, Elenore still had a lot to say, but didn't have time.
What should she do now? Emma refused to go home; if she went home, she would definitely be scolded by her mother. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: that's right, find Veronika. Her brother was clearly the only one who could make him open up. What use was Emma? Veronika was the one who could help her brother get rid of the suffocation in his heart.
