Chapter 428: Chapter 430 I Still Remember You

“I’m not sure when he’ll wake up, but he’ll wake up soon as the surgery was successful. Still, he needs someone to take care of him these days.-’

“Thank you.” Anna thanked Wayne’s attending doctor before exhaling asigh of relief. She thought. Thank goodness, you’re fine, Wayne! Otherwise, Jdon’t know what I should do. | still have so many words to say to you and I want to have another chance to be with you again! Thank God that you didn’t just leave me like that. If you died, | would spend the rest of my life alone.

Wayne was still in the intensive care unit and showed no signs of waking up. Anna stood in the doorway for a while, staring at him. Much as she wanted to stay with him a while longer, she couldn’t because there were still many patients waiting for her in the emergency room.

Before leaving, Anna called Gabe, wanting him to take care of Wayne for her while she was gone, “Gabe, the surgery went well and Wayne’s fine. He’s still in the ICU, but when he wakes up, he’ll be able to transfer to the regular ward.”

“That’s fantastic! Thank you very much.” Gabe said excitedly.

“How is Matthew doing? Does he know about Wayne’s condition?” Anna asked “We didn’t tell him about it. Peters still in the hospital, so please don’t tell him about this. | don’t think he will be able to handle it.”

“OK.”

“By the way, Ms. Wright would like to speak with you.” 429 | Still Remember You “Okay,” Anna said after a brief pause. Then Anna heard Jennie say softly, “Anna, it’s me.”

“Hello, Jennie.”

Jennie sounded tired because she had been worrying about her son all day. “Anna, | didn’t expect to hear from you again in this way. I’d like to ask you to take care of Wayne for me at the hospital.”

“No problem. Don’t you worry, the operation was a success.” Anna said. She was not only saying this to Jennie but to herself as well.

“W’m relieved that you’re here. Please come and visit us if you have some free time these days. We all miss you terribly.”

Anna paused for a moment and said yes.

It wasn’t until the next morning that the hospital finished dealing with the aftermath of the accident and reopened its doors to the public.

Anna spent the night in the ICU accompanying Wayne and eventually fell asleep next to the bed as she was exhausted. When she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw Jennie standing outside the room. She was wearing a long beige dress and carrying a black handbag and was waving at her.

Anna immediately invited her into the office.

“You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? | brought you your favorite seafood soup.” Jennie smiled as she handed Anna the spoon should thank you as well. If you hadn’t taken care of Wayne and Peter at the hospital, | would have been very worried.”

“Thank you.”

“Grandpa has been doing well lately, and he should be ready for surgery soon,” Taking a sip of the soup, Anna answered. 429 |

Still Remember You “Thank you for persuading him into taking the surgery.” Jennie appeared nervous, possibly because she hadn’t seen Anna in along time. She didn’t ask many questions about Wayne but was more concerned about Anna’s life.

After a short while, Jennie burst into tears and exclaimed, “How have you been over the years, Anna? It must have been difficult for you to raise Tammy on your own. I know how hard it is because I’ve been there before.”

Anna set her spoon down and handed her a tissue, comforting her. Actually, I’m doing fine these years. Tammy is always a good girl, and she’s also doing well. However, | have to admit that both of us miss you guys terribly over the years. And I’m so sorry that | didn’t even visit you guys once with Tammy over the years.”

Jennie wiped her tears away and said, “It’s okay. Its all in the past now. Just let bygones be bygones. Actually, we are the ones who are supposed to be sorry, no matter what. I’d like to ask you for a favor, Anna, if it sounds okay to you.”

“What favor?” Anna asked while frowning with a serious expression “I know things didn’t turn out well between you and Wayne and | won’t force you to be with Wayne for the sake of the children only. And if you don’t mind. I’d like to see you and Tammy more often in the future. After all, you two are still my family no matter what. | will definitely treat you as if you were my own child. This is the only way | can make it up to you, Anna.”

Hearing that, Anna went entirely still. It took her quite a while before collecting her thoughts and answering Jennie, “Jennie, I’ll be glad to do you the favor. Rest assured, I’l visit you more often with Tammy from now 429 | Still Remember You on. As for Wayne, I..”

Before Anna could finish her words, Jennie interrupted her anxiously, “Do you still resent Wayne? Can you say yes for the sake of Matthew? Or, do you no longer want to be associated with our family?”

Anna immediately explained, “No, it’s not what | meant. Let’s talk about this when Wayne wakes up. I’ma little confused right now, and I’m not sure what to say. But I’m not blaming anyone in particular.”

“Oh, that’s great,” Jennie sighed and was slightly relieved.

“Do you want to see him right now?” Anna asked.

“Sure!”

Jennie left after seeing Wayne in the ICU for a while because she was sure that Anna would take good care of Wayne. In the afternoon, Jennie returned to the hospital, bringing Matthew with her. Since Peace and Karl were also coming to see Wayne, they brought Tammy with them as well.

They all stood outside Wayne’s ward and watched him through the glass. Matthew looked worried clutched Anna’s hand tightly.

Anna reassured him by touching his hand, saying, “It’s all right, honey. When your dad wakes up, he will be transferred to the general ward and will soon leave the hospital. Don’t worry.”

Tammy stood in the crowd and reached out to touch the icy glass outside the intensive care unit. She sobbed as she looked inside at Wayne, who was with tubes all over his body.

“Is he really going to wake up?” Tammy asked worriedly.

“l”m sure Daddy will wake up,” Matthew said as he wiped his tears.

“Matthew...” Tammy sobbed as she hugged Matthew. 429 | Still Remember You Matthew stroked Tammy’s hair and comforted her. He was growing fast and was already a little taller than her.

While stroking Tammy’s hair, Matthew looked at Wayne and said, matter what happens, I’ll be there for you, dad.”

“No Seeing the reaction of the children, Anna had mixed feelings in her heart. Then she hugged them both tightly and shed tears as well.

The next day, Anna received good news: Wayne was awake.

Overwhelmed, Anna stood in the doorway to Wayne’s ward and watched as a group of doctors walked around. Nancy told Anna they had taken him to the general ward, and she felt much better.

“But there is something | must tell you. I’m not sure if you can handle it,” Nancy said with a serious face.

“What exactly is it?” Frowning, Anna asked anxiously. Meanwhile, she thought, Even if Wayne becomes disabled because of the surgery, | won’t leave him no matter what.

“He has brain damage and memory loss.”

Anna asked, surprised, “Huh? You mean amnesia?”

After the doctor had finished administering all of the medical tests, Wayne was lying alone in his hospital bed. He just stared at the ceiling.

Anna approached him cautiously as Nancy stood in the doorway staring at her.

“Wayne.” Anna said tenderly.

Wayne moved alittle and looked back at her, but his gaze was blank. He didn’t seem to recognize Anna at all. Anna froze, and tears almost streamed down her cheeks. “You don’t remember me?” she asked.

Wayne blinked and murmured, “Anna.” 429 | Still Remember You The doctors in the ward were all taken aback and looked at Anna in awe.

Anna quickly approached him and leaned in closer to hear herself more clearly. She asked, “Do you remember me? Wayne, do you really remember me?”

Wayne, to her surprise, asked, “Who is Wayne?”

Anna was taken aback. She went to the brain doctor’s office to find out what was wrong.

The doctor pointed to a brain CT scan, saying, “I’m sure what Wayne is suffering from is selective amnesia, and I’ve seen similar cases before. The lump in his brain had not completely dissipated and is causing nerve compression. Because his brain is not working properly, he loses some part of his memory.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Anna had mixed feelings and asked, “Then, what should we do now? Should we simply wait for the blood clot to dissolve on its own? Can’t we do something about it?”

The doctor said, shaking his head, “Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do. We can give him medicine, butit’s not very effective. It all depends on himself whether he’ll regain his lost memory or not.”
