Chapter 978 Jacob Couldn’t Recognize His Family (2/2)
”Daddy, it's me. I'm Beryl. How can you forget me?” Beryl stopped abruptly upon Jacob's reaction and slowly sank herself into the horror of the moment.
She ran her eyes over her father from head to toe hesitantly. Tears welled up in her eyes. She had been told that her dear daddy was badly ill the other day and had been sleeping all the time. But no one had informed her about the head injury her father had suffered and the memory loss associated with it.
Dylan entered the room soon after Beryl. He stopped right beside Beryl and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He patted her lightly on her back an
ad occurred between them if he indeed could make that choice.
”It's hard to tell. The brain is the most important organ in the human body. A craniotomy operation involves a high risk value on the patient's life. It all depends on the personal desire and effort the patient can offer. He may remember everything tomorrow or it may take an entire lifetime for him to regain his lost memory. I cannot make any promises as we speak. Let us all be patient and pray for his full recovery,” the doctor stated calmly.
”Doctor, I have a question. Apart from that, is there any other problem?” Michelle chipped in before the doctor prepared to leave. She wasn't particularly concerned regarding Jacob being able to remember Emily or not, but she wanted him to be safe, sound and healthy.
”As far as our assessment is concerned, all the signs are positive. We completed a thorough round of checkup just before I came out. He is fine and recovering rapidly. Despite that, we haven't yet been able to determine the specific cause of his partial loss of memory which we refer to as intermittent amnesia,” the doctor said with brutal honesty.
In most cases of patients with intermittent amnesia where they'd lost a part of their memory, they were found to have suffered a blood clot in the brain. Whereas in Jacob's case, the doctors were sure that Jacob had not suffered any. Hence, the doctor couldn't find an accurate reason for the tragedy. He suspected that it was caused by psychological reasons. Maybe further psychological guidance would help him. All they could do was to wait patiently.
Beryl had comprehended each and every word of what the doctor had just said. She learned that her father hadn't only forgotten her, but also her mother and her little brother. To make matters worse, it had occurred due to a reason that even the doctors couldn't figure out.
She sobbed silently as her head rested on Sam's shoulder. She turned to look at her father from across the glass window, but it was all blurry because of her teary eyes.
She screamed in her heart as to why she and her family had to go through this disaster. She prayed that her father would recover as soon as possible. She had no other option but to hope and pray for her father's quick recovery. Her life depended on it.
