Joanna, Whitney, let me talk to Ellie alone for a bit,” Aaron said.

After convincing Joanna and Whitney to rest, Aaron closed Ellie’s bedroom door and sat down beside her.

“Aaron, what’s really going on with me?”

Ellie leaned against the headboard, clutching Aaron’s hand tightly. “Why did Alex say Harold’s death had something to do with him? Why did he say Haley followed him to see Harold and Joanna and said horrible things? Why are we here? And who was that man who brought me back?”

Her questions came out in a rush, one after another. Aaron waited patiently until she was done before he began to speak.

His tone was soft but serious. “Ellie, listen to me calmly.”

Ellie’s emotions were a mix of sadness and anxiety. “Aaron, how did I lose my memory? What did the doctor say?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything you need to know,” Aaron said, trying to soothe her.

Aaron comforted Ellie. “You went out with some friends and accidentally fell into the water. You hit your head, and the doctor said it’s a case of temporary amnesia caused by trauma. You’ll recover soon.”

Ellie visibly relaxed at his words, but Aaron hesitated before continuing, his voice growing heavier. “Last winter, Dad did pass away. You can’t remember because of the memory loss.”

Ellie’s lips quivered as she fought back tears. “Aaron, was Harold’s death… really connected to Alex?”

Aaron sighed deeply, his expression serious as he looked at his sister. “When you returned from Barry to start your internship at the Jaslands hospital here, a lot happened.”

“That day, Alex did go back to apologize to Joanna and Harold. But none of us expected Haley to follow him there. She said terrible things in front of Joanna and Harold, and that’s why Harold went to the station late at night to come find us. That’s when the accident happened.”

Ellie was shocked. “Aaron, Haley was practically meeting the family with you. Why would she do that? Why—”

Aaron cut her off, his voice steady. “Breakups happen, Ellie. Love is about two people connecting both physically and emotionally. We came from different backgrounds, had different values, and wanted different things in life. It was bound to happen sooner or later.”
