Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

The doctor listened to Kieran's explanation, then glanced at Lila's medical report.

"Mr. Morgan, there's no need to be overly concerned. The patient suffered a head injury, and there was some blood clotting. Memory confusion isn't uncommon in cases like this."

Kieran nodded but clarified, "It's not just simple memory confusion. She doesn't remember her friends, but she knows I'm her husband.

"We've been married for less than a year, and we don't have children. But in her memory, we have a daughter."

The doctor's brows furrowed slightly.

After a brief moment of thought, he asked, "Could she have recently watched something-maybe a TV show, a novel, or heard about a friend having a child?

"If her memory is jumbled, she might have internalized those scenes and mistaken them for her own reality."

Kieran considered this, but he had no idea what Lila had been reading or watching lately.

Had he been paying too little attention to her?

"Mr. Morgan, don't overthink it. The patient is not in any critical condition. The memory confusion needs to be monitored, but there's no serious cause for concern. Give it time, it should resolve on its own."

Kieran nodded just as his phone buzzed.

It was a message from Cole, summarizing everything that had happened-how Lila had risked her life to save the mother and child.

Kieran relayed the information to the doctor.

Understanding dawned on the doctor's face, his expression even carrying a hint of respect. Lila looks delicate, and he wouldn't have expected her to be so brave.

"That explains a lot. For most people, witnessing life and death firsthand is deeply traumatic. Her memory confusion likely stems from experiencing that mother's death.
