Chapter 1603

Jamie stayed by Linda's side throughout the examination.

When the results came back, the doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression unusually serious. "It appears her brain has been damaged by drugs. Do you know what might have happened to her in the past?" Jamie clenched her hands tightly, her voice trembling. "My mom went missing for many years. We don't know much about what happened during that time."

The doctor studied them carefully, but their genuine expressions dispelled any suspicion he might have had.

"It seems that during those years, someone injected her with harmful substances."

Jamie's heart sank. "Does that mean she'll be like this forever?"

Her voice quivered as the fear gripped her. She couldn't bear the thought of her mother living like this for the rest of her life.

Sensing her tension, the doctor softened his tone. "Don't worry. With proper care, there's still a chance she could recover."

A wave of relief washed over Jamie. It matched what Wilfred had said earlier. There was still hope.

For Jamie, that slim possibility was everything. Even if she could provide for Linda's needs for a lifetime, the thought of her suffering from confusion and helplessness was unbearable.
