“Amnesia?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ben and Susan spoke in unison.
Ben quickly glanced at her.
“I… I don’t have any injuries on my body. How could I be suffering from amnesia? Susan quickly asked.
The doctor asked, “Mrs. Landor, do you really forget everything?”
Susan braced herself and nodded.
The doctor nodded and said in a very professional tone, “I’ve checked your medical record. The day before yesterday, you had a cold and fever. Though the fever was gone later, you weren’t fully recovered. After that, your were kidnapped and went deep into the mountains. You even encountered some wolves and were very scared. What was even worse, you were caught in the heavy rain. Thus, you had a fever again last night in the hospital. I’m afraid that these two fevers left some sequelae in your brain.”
When Si
heard this, she was stunned.
She would have been convinced if she hadn’t been pretending.
“Amnesia…” Ben had mixed feelings. “Doctor, how long will it take for her to recover?
The doctor replied, “There are still many things we don’t know about human brains. Even the best doctor can’t say that they know even a little bit of it.”
“So?” Ben frowned.
The doctor smiled awkwardly and said, “So, it depends on luck when she can regain her memory.”
Ben was unwilling to give up. “Is there no other way to cure her?”
The doctor replied, “I’m not skilled enough to come up with a better idea. Perhaps, some better doctor would know how to help her get back her memories. But among all these factors, Mrs. Landor’s own will matters the most. If she has a strong desire to recover, she would recover faster.”
“I see.” Ben nodded.
The doctor stood up and said, “Well… you can have a talk. I got to go.”
The doctor left, leaving Ben and Susan alone in the room.
Ben looked at her with a look of mixed feelings.
A
He had thought that he had finally gotten her back.
Unexpectedly, she had lost her memory.
She forgot everything that had happened between them.
“Susan,” Ben said slowly.
“Don’t call me in that intimate way, Susan said and blinked her eyes. “I don’t know you.”
“Just now, the doctor addressed you as Mrs. Landor,” Ben explained. “My family name is Landor, so you are my
wife.”
“… I’m married?” Susan looked at him in astonishment.
“Yes,” Ben replied softly. “We married because we love each other. We were deep in love and never changed our feelings for each other after we got married.”
Susan didn’t know how to reply.
She wanted to punch him after hearing his words.

the
urge to punch him, she said in disbelief, “I don’t remember anything now. Even if you’re lying, I
I’m not lying,” Ben said sincerely.
Susan raised her eyebrows. “If we really loved each other, why did we separate? Why did I get into danger and
suffer from amnesia?”
It was a hard question.
Ben sat by the bed and said with a solemn expression, “Well, it was all Timothy’s fault. He was a bastard.”
Susan didn’t know how to reply.
Ben continued with a serious expression, “We had a happy life back then. But a man named Timothy coveted you and wanted to break us up. Some weeks ago, you came to this town to spend a vacation, and that guy secretly followed you here and kidnapped you cruelly. He even brought you up the mountain trying to force you to die with
him.”
Susan was even more speechless.
“Don’t worry, Susan, Ben said with a straight face. “This bastard has fallen off the cliff and probably died. From now on, no one will be able to break us apart.”
Susan was stunned for a moment.

A
It was not her illusion that Timothy fell off the cliff before she passed out.
She didn’t know if he was alive or not.
She felt a little conflicted, but she tried her best to suppress it.
At that time, if she had run away with the only torch, leaving Timothy to be swallowed by the wolves, she would feel guilty.
But the truth was that she had tried her best the help him.
There was nothing she could do about Timothy’s fate.
She had a clear conscience.
Seeing her reaction, Ben asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Did you remember something?”
Susan glanced at him and shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”
She wanted to see how Ben would make up the story.
Ben continued, “Anyway, Timothy is a complete jerk. Do you remember that you have a younger sister Yana? To get close to you, Timothy deceived Yana and got her pregnant. Yet, he dared to pester you. He couldn’t atone for his sin even if he died a hundred times.”
Ben spared no effort to smear Timothy’s reputation. For this reason, he even whitewashed some of Yana’s faults.
His thoughts were very simple.
After all, Susan had liked Timothy for so many years.
Before she lost her memory, she watched as Timothy fell off the cliff. Perhaps, she would feel guilty to him subconsciously

Ben felt that someone like Timothy wasn’t worthy of any sympathy at all.
Thus, he decided to smear Timothy’s reputation in front of Susan.
Susan didn’t know how to reply.
She thought it was ridiculous for her to pretend to have amnesia.
Unexpectedly, Ben played along and made up an even more ridiculous story.
Susan struggled to say, “I don’t think your story is real.”
“It’s real,” Ben said sincerely. “If you don’t believe me, you can go to the police station to get the files. Timothy is a
kidnapper, the culprit who broke us up.”
Susan glanced at Ben.
He looked so serious as if he was telling the truth.
“Susan, this bastard has received his just desserts.” Ben looked at Susan tentatively. “Shall we… go home now?”
Susan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes.”
“lost her
Since she had “lost” her memory and was Ben’s wife, it was natural she went home with him.
After that, she would think of a way to slowly recover from her “amnesia“.
Susan was a little worried.
“What was I thinking about when I decided to pretend to have amnesia?
It’s easy to lis
but how should I patch it up?” she wondered.
Ben let out a sigh of relief with a tender look in his eyes.
As long as Susan was willing to go home with him, everything would be fine.
There would come a day when she recovered from the amnesia.
The temporary amnesia had given both of them some time, which could serve as a buffer period.
If Susan hadn’t lost her memory, how would Ben explain what he did to her in those days?
Even though he knew that he had his own difficulties, he had hurt her anyway.
Thus, every time Susan thought of what happened in those days, she would feel unhappy.
But now, she couldn’t remember what happened.
So they could start over as if they had met for the first time.
In fact, their relationship started with some regrets.
Now, it was the perfect time to make up for all the regrets.
In the future, when Susan regained her memory, they would spend happier time together, giving her happier memories. By then, she probably would forgive her.
