46 Diagnosis From the ambivalent look on Athenas face , Ewan knew his wife hadnt been aware of his lost memories afore time , and it stomped his heart on how lifeless their marriage had been , how lifeless he had made it .
If only he could go back in time , he would have changed a lot of things .
Because if Athena was truly innocent of the accusation six years ago , there was a possibility she hadnt been aware of her fathers plan .
Considering this possibility almost dampened his hearty spirit .
Ewan had to let go of the matter for now , in order to focus on his discussion with Athena .
He didnt think she would appreciate him being distracted .
Yes , I do have amnesia .
I cant remember my childhood .
He finally answered .
I had an accident when I was around twelve years old … Athena consciously kept her face bland , while her mind ran helter skelter .
Hearing the confirmatory truth from Ewan unsettled her .
Why had she been kept in the dark about this ? Hadnt Zack been aware of it , or had he kept it out of her reach as usual , believing it wasnt necessary information for her to digest ? Getting the brain scan had been really numbing .
She had the lab expert run it three times before accepting it ! She furrowed her eyebrows , and rested on her chair squarely .
You dont remember a singular thing ? Ewan nodded .
Apart from a singular memory that keeps popping up in my dream .
Athenas curiosity was piqued .
Is it something you can share ? It will help understand the results from your brain scan .
Ewan inhaled softly .
I think so .
Let me hear it then Ewan splayed his hands on his thighs , preparing himself to recount the dream from a day ago .
Its about the accident , how it actually happened .
He paused , and looked at the large window that allowed him to see the bustling city and sky .
In the dream , Im hurrying to meet a friend .
When I got to our meeting point , near a river , shed been waiting for a while .
I apologized for my late arrival , and then we got around playing .
While play dancing , I missed a step and fell into the river … A pause , where he reverted his gaze to Athena .
I cant swim .
She couldnt swim either .
Yet she jumped into the river to save me .
She pulled me out of the deep waters despite the strange current .
But when I was woken up by shouts , she 40 Duypnosis was nowhere around me … I deduced that she had left to call for help .
When I woke up again , she was by my bedside weeping .
Athena folded her hands across her chest , drafting Ewans attention to her chest region .
Ewan instantly reverted his gaze to the window .
The girl , who is she ? Athena asked , picking another note pad from her drawer .
Ewan hesitated before answering the question .
A second later , he decided to say the truth as he knew it .
In the dream , her face was actually blurry .
So I couldnt know for sure who she was .
But when I finally woke up from the coma , I saw Fiona beside me weeping .
I concluded she was the one .
because she wore the same bracelet as the girl who saved me .
Athena furrowed her eyebrows again , not understanding a singular concept .
Yes , she could finally see why Ewan was blind and dumb when it came to Fiona , but still … If she didnt know how to swim , how was she able to pull you out ? How was she able to remain unaffected , even staying by your side while you were in a coma ? While thinking , Ewan bit his lip gently .
Athenas eyes widened a little at the sight .
She quickly looked at her notepad and pretended to write something down .
Honestly , I dont know Athena .
Ewan finally replied .
I asked her about it when I got healthy , but she claimed she had been treated too .
Athena shook her head .
Thats not possible , Ewan .
If Fiona had really jumped into the river , braving the current to save you , she would have either drowned , or been in the same shape as you , if not worse … Athena took her lips in .
Nevertheless , thats your problem to handle .
I only asked because of your brain scan results .
The acupuncture had done a great job , but you might need some more treatments , probably a surgery too depending on the outcome of those treatments to correct some things , so that you can gain access to your full memories .
Ewan opened his mouth to speak , then shut it , not knowing what to say exactly both to Athenas deduction about Fiona , and the case of his brains recent state .
He would have attributed the former to Athenas jealousy , but he knew she wasnt petty as Fiona .
And for the latter , he couldnt afford to be bedridden now .
He had a business to run , manage and expand .
He had a meeting with Ethan too .
Ill think about it … Athena didnt bother to confirm which of the statements Ewan would think about .
She only nodded , and went back to writing in the notepad .
She tore out a piece of it and gave it to Ewan a few seconds later .
48 Diagnosis This is the contact of one of the best doctors I know .
Call him and let him know about the problem ; he will be happy to treat your case … Ewan wasnt pleased with the news .
Are you discarding me , Athena ? * Athena frowned .
She didnt understand what her ex husband was talking about .
I want you to be my doctor , Athena .
You are the one I trust .
Trust ? That was a big word .
Athena thought , folding her arms across her chest again .
I cant be your doctor , Ewan .
Why is that ? I can pay any amount .
Im just not interested .
Ewan sighed .
Ive had doctors check me out a couple of times , and none of them have discovered or done what you have done in just a day .
Why will I spend money on any other doctor then , when I have found you ? Athena rested squarely on her chair again , as her mind reeled with questions and probabilities .
She , however , met Ewans gaze steadily , making sure to communicate that she didnt want to be his doctor .
Yet , for the sake of the twins , she made the uncomfortable decision .
1 Whenever you are ready to be treated , Ewan , let me know .
She ignored the smile of victory and appreciation that perched on his lips , and dismissed him .
