?Chapter 1628:


    Tamara said, “Your father’s been having frequent headachestely, hasn’t he? There’s a real possibility his memories from before the ident are beginning to resurface. That’s why I asked Dr. Brooks toe and examine him.”


    “I see.” Zaria’s expression shifted into a perfectly measured surprise. She leaned forward slightly, her voiceced with anticipation. “So… does that mean my father might actually start remembering things from before the ident?”


    “It’s difficult to say for certain,” Dr. Brooks replied.


    He turned his attention to Elwood, his tone grave. “Mr. Wright, are you sure you want to retrieve those lost memories? The ident erased a portion of your past, likely memories your mind deemed too traumatic to retain. In many cases like yours, the brain initiates a self-preservation response, sealing away painful experiences to protect the psyche. From a medical perspective, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”


    He paused for a moment, his eyes searching Elwood’s. “So before we proceed, I must ask again—do you truly wish to recall what happened before the ident?”


    “I do,” Elwood answered without hesitation, his voice unwavering.


    “Elwood!” Tamara’s brows drew together in worry. Her voice rose slightly, tinged with concern. “Dr. Brooks has a point. If those memories were lost, maybe they’re better forgotten. Why reopen wounds that have already closed?”


    Elwood’s gaze remained steady. His expression was calm but resolute. “Whether the memories are pleasant or painful, they belong to me. Every moment—good or bad—shaped who I am. I want to remember. No matter what the past holds.”


    “Elwood—” Tamara began again, but Elwood gently cut her off.


    “That’s enough, Mom. You don’t need to say anything more. My mind is made up.” His voice held a quiet finality that left no room for argument.


    Tamara bit her lip, knowing full well that nothing she said would change his mind. It seemed the only option left was to proceed as she had originally nned.


    As that thought settled in, Tamara cast a meaningful nce at Dr. Brooks. He caught the look immediately. His eyelids lowered for a brief moment, and with a subtle nod, he acknowledged her silentmand.

    Zaria caught the brief exchange. A flicker of suspicion shed through her gaze. She knew exactly what her grandmother intended: the doctor would hypnotize her father again—not to unlock memories, but to bury them even deeper, ensuring he forgot Car.


    This time, it would be permanent. Her father would likely forget Car entirely afterward. Even hearing her name might stir nothing inside him.


    Zaria’s thoughts were interrupted by Dr. Brooks’ voice.


    “Well, since you’ve made your decision, Mr. Wright, I won’t attempt to change your mind. I’ll prescribe a five-day course of medication to prepare your body and mind for hypnosis. Otherwise, I might not be able to bring you into the necessary depth of trance.”


    “Understood,” Elwood replied with a calm nod.


    Zaria’s brows furrowed ever so slightly. The medication would likely make it much easier for the doctor to manipte her father’s subconscious—just as her grandmother wanted.<fn38fa> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? Find~Novel</fn38fa>


    After asking a few additional questions about Elwood’s headaches, Dr. Brooks took his leave.
