Chapter 46: Diagnosis

From the ambivalent look on Athena’s face, Ewan knew his wife hadn’t 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 hadn’t been aware of her father’s 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 didn’t think she would appreciate him being distracted.

"Yes, I do have amnesia. I can’t 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?

Hadn’t Zack been aware of it, or had he kept it out of her reach as usual, believing it wasn’t 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 don’t remember a singular thing?"

Ewan nodded. "Apart from a singular memory that keeps popping up in my dream."
