No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Sitting across from her was Emmett Brooke, her treating physician.

“Dr. Brooke, my memory is slipping these days. I’ve found myself constantly forgetting what I’m doing,” she said.

When she woke up in the motel room this morning, as usual, it took her a long time to remember what she was sup- posed to do today.

Examining Maureen’s test report, Emmett seemed worried.

“Ms. Ramirez, perhaps you should consider further examinations. For example … a psychological evaluation.”

A psychological evaluation…

Maureen took Emmett’s suggestion.

She was diagnosed with depression.

Patients with severe depression often suffered from a certain degree of memory loss.

Before heading back to the motel room, Maureen bought a notebook and a pen. Then she recorded everything that had happened lately and put the notebook next to the pillow. In this way, she could see it the second she woke up.

The news of her divorce from Geoffrey spread quickly like wildfire.

Noelle called her a bunch of times that night, but she didn’t hear the phone ring.

She woke up the next morning.

Then she saw several messages from Noelle.
