Chapter 389
Alyssa looked at the photos over and over again.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Clifford: “Clifford, you are a psychiatrist. You must be very thorough in this area, right?”
When it comes to professional issues, Clifford’s expression straightened up, and he looked serious.
“There are specialties in the surgical profession, but for patients with psychological disorders, most of the time, we can only play a guiding role, and only have auxiliary functions. In the end, we must rely on the patients themselves.”
Clifford called the waiter to add water to his cup before continuing: “Why are you asking this suddenly?”
Alyssa thought for a while, and said, “Didn’t I go to the hospital for an examination before? The doctor said that my body is recovering very well, but now I have no signs of regaining my memory. You are a psychologist, do you have any solution?”
Upon hearing this, Clifford fell into deep thought.
Alyssa looked at him expectantly.
It would be great if Clifford could help her and remind her of the past.
After a while, Clifford gave her a very conservative answer: “You have brain damage that caused amnesia, and it has little to do with psychology. You can try it, but it may not be effective.”
A touch of joy flashed in Alyssa’s eyes: “Okay.”
Even if there is only a slim hope, she wants to give it a try.
“Let’s eat.” Clifford smiled and brought her some vegetables.
…
The two of them came out of the restaurant after eating. It was raining outside.
Rostenvel is a city with plenty of rain.
In early autumn, rain has become commonplace.
The rain is not heavy, but it is lingering and depressing.
Alyssa and Clifford returned to the car, only to wet their hair a little.
Clifford drove forward, talking to Alyssa one by one.
The speed of the car is very slow on rainy days.
When turning a corner, Clifford stepped on the brakes, but suddenly noticed that the speed of the car had not slowed down, but had become faster.
No matter how hard Clifford stepped on the brakes, the brakes were of no use and the car couldn’t stop at all.
Clifford’s complexion changed drastically, and while honking his horn, he said loudly: “The brakes are out of order, Alyssa, jump off!”
Alyssa also discovered that the car’s brakes had failed, and the car was out of control. Other vehicles also noticed the abnormality of the car and avoided it.
Alyssa tugged on the seat belt: “We need to jump together!”
After listening to her, Clifford didn’t have a touch of emotion on his face. Instead, he roared with anger on his face: “Jump! Your life is my rescue. There can be no mistakes.”
The situation was urgent, and Alyssa didn’t have time to discern the deep meaning of his words, gritted her teeth and opened the car door, and jumped down when the time was right.
She used some tricks when she jumped off the car. Although her body was bruised, it was not a big problem.
Alyssa quickly got up from the ground, and when she looked up, she found that Clifford’s car had hit the guardrail on the side of the road.
She ran towards Clifford.
Alyssa lay by the window calling his name: “Clifford, how are you doing?”
Clifford was sitting in the driver’s seat with a head full of blood, his eyes were a little lost, as if he would faint at any time.
But he still stubbornly took a look at Alyssa, and then fainted.
Alyssa looked flustered and took out her mobile phone to call an ambulance, and a kind person next to her said: “Don’t worry, I have already called for an ambulance for you…”
Alyssa said dryly: “Thank you.”
There is a hospital nearby, and ambulances came quickly.
…
Clifford was taken to the emergency center.
Alyssa waited outside for the result, suffering every minute.
After some time, the door of the operating room opened and walked out.
Alyssa greeted him quickly: “Doctor, how is he?”
The doctor took off the mask: “After a few stitches, it is not life-threatening, but he will be kept under observation for a while, and it must be sent to the intensive care unit first.”
“Thank you doctor.” Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief.
Clifford was pushed out, tied a circle of pipes on his head, in a semi-conscious state.
Alyssa walked over and called out: “Clifford?”
Clifford moved his lips, but made no sound.
After Alyssa watched him enter the intensive care unit, she remembered Clifford’s family to contact.
However, at this time, she realized that she didn’t understand Clifford at all.
Apart from knowing that he is a psychiatrist, named Clifford, nothing else is known.
Moreover, Clifford did not mention his family.
In this regard, Clifford’s situation is a bit similar to hers.
When she woke up from the hospital bed, she had no relatives by her side, and Clifford never mentioned her relatives.
Although don’t know why Clifford never mentioned his relatives, Alyssa felt that there must be his own reasons.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that she and Clifford felt a little bit of pity for the same disease.
Clifford came out after spending a day in the intensive care unit.
Alyssa stewed for him soup.
Clifford leaned against the bed, watching Alyssa serve him soup, and said with a smile: “Very virtuous.”
Alyssa glanced at him: “Can’t compare to you, you are quite selfless, thinking about others in the critical moment.”
She put the soup on the partition in front of her.
Clifford picked up the spoon and drank the soup slowly, looking lacklustre.
Seeing him like this, Alyssa couldn’t bear it and said, “Fortunately, you…otherwise you will be ashamed for a lifetime.”
Clifford smiled, seemed to think about it, and said, “I have something to tell you. If I tell you about it at such a time, it may be easier for you to forgive me.”
Alyssa raised her eyes to look at him: “What?”
The smile on Clifford’s face faded, and his expression seriously said, “I am not your fiance.”
Alyssa was about to cover the insulation pot.
After listening to Clifford’s words, her movements paused. Two seconds later, after she slowly covered the heat preservation pot, she said leisurely: “Oh.”
“Aren’t you angry? Or you don’t want to talk to me because you are too angry?” Although Clifford said that, his expression still seemed calm.
Alyssa groaned for a moment and said: “If you deliberately lie to me, you will definitely not let me and Tina and the others. Moreover, you saved me and guarded me for three years. I won’t have such a great kindness in my life.”
After a long while, Clifford nodded.
Alyssa pushed the bowl in front of him and said, “But why did you say you are my fiance?”
Clifford asked without a smile: “In that situation, if I didn’t say that I was your fiancé, would you trust me and follow me out of the hospital?”
A person who has completely lost his memory represents a sense of insecurity. The doctors and nurses in the hospital thought she and Clifford were lovers, so Clifford had to admit it.
Chapter 390
Alyssa had just woke up at that time, her body was weak, and her memory was a barren blank.
That kind of panic, no one can empathize with her.
Under such circumstances, if a person close to her appears and has a relationship with her that is recognized by everyone, then she will naturally rely on that person and trust him.
In this regard, Clifford’s starting point is good.
However, if you analyze it carefully, this statement seems far-fetched.
But the important thing at the moment is that Clifford gets better and is discharged from the hospital. These things are not in a hurry.
So Alyssa nodded and asked him, “Do you want another serving?”
Clifford smiled and handed her the bowl: “Yes.”
Alyssa took the bowl and bowed her head to serve him soup.
A strand of hair fell from her ears, she reached out and hooked it up and clipped it behind her ears, but a simple movement gave her a sense of refined demure.
Clifford retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes lightly, covering his emotions.
In fact, he originally said that he was Alyssa’s fiancé, and there were not so many complicated reasons.
The reason he just said accounted for only a small part, and a bigger part of the reason was that he was testing whether Alyssa really lost her memory.
Later events showed that Alyssa… indeed had amnesia.
Alyssa filled the soup and handed it to him.
Clifford took it and said warmly, “Thank you.”
“You’re so polite with me.” Alyssa sat down beside him: “It’s not an unmarried couple, we are also friends, life-long friendship, isn’t it?”
Clifford laughed out loud when he heard the words.
He reached out his hand to his lips and suppressed the laughter, as if he had finally laughed enough, and then said in a low voice: “Yes.”
“Funny? Give me the soup back!” Alyssa was injured and was about to grab the soup in Clifford’s hands.
Clifford had stitches on his head, but the movements of his hands were not at all ambiguous. He blocked Alyssa’s hands: “I am a patient now.”
Only then did Alyssa withdraw her hand.
Although she has amnesia, it doesn’t mean she has no brains.
Clifford was full of doubts, and now it’s hard to ask too much.
When she was a vegetable, Clifford was able to guard her for three years, and she would not be bad at coming to Clifford.
After Clifford finished the soup, she took the bowl to clean it.
She washed the dishes and came out, and the phone rang.
Alyssa picked up her mobile phone and found it was a strange number.
Her heart jumped, and she secretly guessed that Karl had the result and called her.
She glanced at Clifford.
Clifford had his head injured after all, and he was taking a nap with his eyes closed right now.
Alyssa took the mobile phone out of the ward before answering the call: “Hello?”
The next moment, the man’s deep voice rang on the phone.
“Miss Alyssa.”
Alyssa heard it all at once, this was Karl’s voice.
Karl’s voice is very nice, it is the kind of deep voice, it sounds very textured and highly recognizable.
She thought that there was a result, and he was also notified, but she did not expect that Karl would call her in person.
Alyssa felt flattered. Although Karl was not a domineering man, he felt like a superior posture.
Alyssa pursed her lips, swallowed, and said, “Mr. Adams, hello.”
“The results of the DNA comparison have come out, where are you?”
Karl’s speech was simple and clear, and Alyssa was already a little accustomed to his way of speaking.
“I’m in the hospital now…” Alyssa said, pushing the door slightly, and looking inward through the crack of the door. Seeing that Clifford was still maintaining the previous posture, she closed the door.
“What are you doing in the hospital?”
don’t know if it was Alyssa’s illusion, she felt Karl’s tone lift up, as if…a little nervous.
Alyssa didn’t think much about it, and said, “Something happened to your friend. In the hospital, you send me the address and I’ll come over.”
The man on the other end of the phone ignored her words, his tone was a bit tough: “Your address.”
Alyssa didn’t want to argue with Karl over this matter, so she told him the address here.
As soon as her voice fell, Karl immediately hung up the phone.
It’s really… a weird person who doesn’t have a gentlemanly manner.
Alyssa stared at the phone screen for a moment, then took a deep breath and put the phone back into her pocket.
When she returned to the ward, she saw that Clifford had opened his eyes.
His energy is not very good, and he seemed to have exhausted his energy just after talking to her at that time, and now it looks awkward.
Alyssa frowned slightly: “I have something to go out for.”
Clifford’s half-eyed eyes opened a little, and he rarely asked: “Someone is looking for you?”
Alyssa hesitated and said, “Yes…”
However, Clifford interrupted her at this moment: “Go early and return early, pay attention to safety. This time it is not that simple. It may be for me or for you.”
His tone was slow, but what he said was not easy to ignore.
“I see.” Alyssa nodded.
Then she turned around and took out Clifford’s mobile phone and put it where he could reach: “Call me if you have anything.”
Clifford seemed to smile: “Yes.”
The police came to ask questions before, but because Clifford was still in the intensive care unit, he didn’t say much.
Now that Clifford has come out, the police may come again.
Regardless of whether it was directed at her or directed at Clifford, it must have been premeditated and eyed them early in the morning.
…
Before leaving, Alyssa went to the doctor again, and then went down.
When she was out of the hospital, she heard a car parked not far away honking.
The black car looks very low-key and expensive.
Alyssa walked over directly.
She was about to open the door of the back seat to sit in, but suddenly realized that the driver was Karl.
Alyssa retracted her hand in a slanderous manner, bending over and shouting, “Mr. Adams?”
“Sit in.”
Karl held a cigarette between his fingers, and a piece of ashes accumulated on the cigarette butt. He flicked the ashes away, and the whole person looked scattered.
Discreet but dangerous, like a lion in a dormant period.
Alyssa felt that this metaphor fits very well, because when she heard Karl’s words “get in the car”, she subconsciously obeyed and got into the car.
She opened the door of the co-pilot. She didn’t dare to sit in the back row, treating Karl as the driver.
The cabin was suffocatingly quiet, and there was still the smell of smoke.
Alyssa asked in a low voice, “Did Mr. Adams see the results of the DNA comparison?”
“No.” Karl answered very succinctly.
Alyssa recovered from a serious illness and occasionally was sensitive to smells. The smell of smoke in the car made her a little uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand calmly to cover her nose.
The next moment, she heard the sound of the car window lowering.
