What Separates Me and You

Chapter 186 That Mute Can’t Stay

Josephine was unusually composed after listening to Dr. Halliday, seemingly at peace with her peculiar condition.

She looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

“Have you lost a lot of memory recently?”

Josephine furrowed her brows, puzzled. She contemplated, but how could she know what she had forgotten when it was already not part of her memory?

Dr. Halliday said, “I’ve been researching your condition lately. The onset symptom of your condition is absent-mindedness, which means you’ll easily forget recent events. However, it won’t cause you too much inconvenience because you’ll eventually recall those memories. One day, if you encounter a stranger that recognizes you but not you of him, that may indicate your condition has worsened. Therefore, you must take your medication consistently. It would be best if the above scenario never happened; it’s not as severe if you only forget things and not people.”

Josephine nodded in acknowledgment.

Dr. Halliday smiled resignedly and continued, “You may remember my words now, but there’s no telling if you can still recall them when the morning comes. Well, that doesn’t matter. You must remind yourself to take your medication, that’s all.”

Josephine nodded and pointed at her messenger bag.

After a brief pause, Dr. Halliday stood and took the bag for her. “Is this what you want?”

Josephine opened her bag and took out a notebook the size of her palm. She flipped it for Dr. Halliday to skim.

She wanted to tell Dr. Halliday that she didn’t forget her medication; she just didn’t have the chance to take it these two days.

Dr. Halliday saw the notebook’s content and nodded, gratified. He remarked, “That’s good. You write down whatever’s important and bring it wherever you go, having access to it all the time. You did great.”

He sounded like he was coaxing a child. Josephine’s lips curled resignedly.

She looked like she had a sudden realization and flipped open the notebook to write, “Where’s Lewis?”

Dr. Halliday froze and stuttered, “H-He went out after answering a call.”

Josephine was unperturbed. She nodded and stashed her notebook away.

Dr. Halliday saw he was not needed here anymore, so he stood and said, “Have a good rest,
