A Replacement Bride

The doctor exhaled and carefully informed Joaquin of his situation.

"You've witnessed her condition for yourself, so you should have a rough guess on what's going on. I've looked through all her test results. Nothing is wrong with her. She is not suffering from any injuries nor is there anything abnormal to be found in her blood test results. When I talked to her just now, I realized there is something off about her mental condition. She keeps jumbling up her sentences and contradicting herself. It is a condition usually seen in patients suffering from mental disorders or undiagnosed severe amnesia."

Joaquin was not surprised to hear that.

Just as the doctor said, after what he had witnessed over the last two days, he had guessed it.

However…

"What could be the cause behind her amnesia? Could the tests not tell us?" he asked solemnly.

The doctor hummed in thought. When he finally spoke, his face was covered in a thin sheen of sweat. "The tests are unable to find anything wrong for now. On the surface, she seems completely fine. I'm actually quite curious about just what could have turned her into this state. However, there is a chance that it is simply due to shock."

Amnesia caused by overstimulation?

Katherine was not that weak, and Joaquin did not think it was possible.

However, since the doctor could not come up with any other explanation, Joaquin did not wish to continue with the same topic. "How should we cure her then? When will she recover?"

The doctor shook his head. "I can't say for sure. Some recover in just a few days while others would take three to five years. There are even some who… would live out the rest of their life with a hazy mind. I have no way of giving you a sure-fire answer. All I can say is that you should do your best to treat it."

At that, Joaquin went silent. In the end, he nodded and left the room with Katherine and the prescribed medicine.

When they walked out of the doctor's office, she blinked in surprise upon seeing David waiting in the hallway.
