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."

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