Chapter 840: Chapter 840

“Could you check him, please?” Theresa stopped a doctor.

The doctor took one look at him and nodded. He opened Armand’s sleeve and said casually, “The wound needs to be stitched. You should go to the hospital.”

Someone called out that there was another injured person inside, so the doctor went in. It appeared that the woman was seriously injured. The doctor urged the rest of the staff to take her downstairs.

The man was arrested and taken away by the police.

After arriving at the hospital, the woman was sent to the emergency room to be rescued. Armand went to the surgery department to treat her wound. The doctor checked the wound and said she needed more than a dozen stitches.

When the doctor was cleaning the wound, Theresa couldn’t look. She just turned away.

Within half an hour, Armand’s wound was completely healed. Theresa helped him up and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Armand replied, “No, not at all. I’ve been anesthetized.”

The doctor put local anesthetic around the wound. Otherwise, he would suffer when the skin was stitched. He would not have felt so calm.

“The police have informed your client’s family to come. Please don’t worry about her,” Theresa said.

Armand gave her a look, “I don’t worry about her. She’s just my client. Even if something happened to her, it wouldn’t be my responsibility. You’ve been worrying me. When the man wanted to cut you, why didn’t you know how to dodge?” She was so scared that she stiffened and forgot to react.

“You’re always like that. How can I leave you alone in the future?” said Armand depressed.

Theresa pressed her lips together silently.

A doctor approached. Seeing Armand, he said, “Mr. Bernie, Mrs. Bernie has woken up.”

They were in the same hospital where Elizabeth was, and the doctor was her boss. Elizabeth woke up, but there was no one with her, so she was trying to contact Armand.

“I’m going to go to your ward now,” Armand said.

“Hold on a moment, please. Mr. Bernie, I need to talk to you.” The doctor looked at him solemnly. Armand frowned, “Didn’t you say his wound wasn’t serious?”.

“It’s not in danger, but…” The doctor paused slightly, “Please prepare yourself.”

“What the hell is wrong with him?” Armand was anxious.

“Mr. Bernie, please calm down.” The doctor said more solemnly, “Here’s what’s wrong. Your grandmother’s brain was injured. When she woke up, I went to see her. She could be suffering from short-term memory loss.”

“What?” Armand thought he’d misheard something, “Memory loss?”

He couldn’t believe it at all. It was only happening on the soap opera, how could it happen in real life?

“I’m still not quite sure. She has Alzheimer’s disease, so she has that symptom too. However, it’s possible she has amnesia. We’ll check her tomorrow to make sure of that.”

“Okay. I see.” Armand grabbed Theresa’s hand, “I…”

“Let’s go see her first.” Theresa could understand how helpless he was now.

They went together to Elizabeth’s living room. Pushing open the door, they found that Elizabeth was half lying on the bed. Her head was bandaged. Hearing the noise, she turned over. Her dull eyes lit up.

“Please come in. I’ll wait for you outside.” Theresa let go of Armand’s hand.

As she turned around, Elizabeth said, “Who are you, girl?” Theresa didn’t turn her back, she kept walking.

“Hey, I’m talking to you! Don’t ignore me!” Elizabeth blurted out, “Let me tell you. Armand is married. Don’t you dare bother him.”

Armand approached her, “Grandma…”

“Stop calling me!” Elizabeth rudely interrupted him, “Theresa lost her baby because of you. I wonder how she’s doing now, how can you flirt with another woman, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”

Theresa was puzzled as she stood in the doorway. She wondered if Elizabeth had really lost her memories and had forgotten who she was.

“Grandmother.” Armand walked over to the bed and looked at his grandmother, “Since Theresa and I aren’t going to have children, you want us to divorce. Have you forgotten?”

Elizabeth glanced at Armand. His cloudy eyes became confused. Suddenly, she said in a deep voice, “Stop talking nonsense! How can I ask you for a divorce?”

Armand turned his face to Theresa again, meeting her gaze. They both wondered if Elizabeth had really lost her memories temporarily as the doctor had said.

Suddenly, Elizabeth tugged on Armand’s hand and earnestly reminded him, “Armand, we must do things to carry the weight of our conscience. Theresa has lost the baby and has been hurt because of you. You must take responsibility for her and atone for your guilt. You can’t bother other girls.”

Armand said in agreement, “I won’t let Theresa down, Grandma.”

“All right. Send that girl away. When Theresa comes back and sees her, she will be angry,” Elizabeth said angrily.

Armand said yes. He turned to Theresa and dragged her into the hallway.

“Grandma doesn’t seem to recognize you.” Armand couldn’t tell what he was feeling now. He didn’t think it could be anything bad.

Theresa said, “The doctor said she might have lost some memories, didn’t he?”

Armand nodded. They wanted to wait for the checkup. The next day, Elizabeth underwent a checkup. According to the brain scan, her memory loss was caused by congestion and nerve compression in the brain. She might recover soon, or she might only remember past events and never remember recent ones.

Outside the consultation, Armand said, “Theresa, this could be a good thing.”

Theresa knew what he meant. However, she was still hesitant, “What if she suddenly remembers everything?”

Armand was speechless.

Theresa sat down on the bench in the hallway, “Lola has given me the C-Town tailor shop. From now on I will develop my career there. I can’t stay here.

Armand expressed, “I can follow you to go to C-Town.”

Theresa gave him a look, “What about your career?”.

Armand walked over to her and squatted down. He took her hand and said, “If you’re willing, I can drop everything. I can take my grandmother and move to C-Town with you.”

Armand’s suggestion came so suddenly. Theresa couldn’t make up her mind at all.

“Honestly, after you left City B, I went to see you secretly. That day, you were dressed so beautiful. You were talking to Oscar while smiling at him. When I saw you, I felt quite upset. I tried to convince myself that as long as you were happy, I would be satisfied. But… I can’t leave you at all.” He looked deeply at her, “You can’t let go of me either, can you?”.

“You’d better figure out how you can tell your grandmother that I’m Theresa. I’ll give you two days. If you can figure it out, I’ll agree. I’ve already fallen in love with you twice…”

Armand covered her months, “Don’t say anything sinister. I’ve brought you a lot of trouble. I must make it up to you.”

Over the next two days, Armand continued to convince his grandmother, telling her that the girl walking hand in hand with him was Theresa, but Elizabeth refused to believe him.

Armand told her what Theresa had experienced.

Elizabeth’s memory stopped at the period when Theresa was hurt and left. Armand said everything reasonable, so Elizabeth finally believed him even though she was still a little confused.

Armand transferred her case to another lawyer in the firm. It was now being processed. The husband cheated on his wife and beat her, causing the baby to miscarry. Therefore, the divorce was certain. The man was ruined and had to take legal responsibility.

Armand let the servant take care of Elizabeth at home first. He went to C-Town with Theresa to buy a house.

Theresa feared he was doing it unwisely by leaving everything in City B and moving to City C. “Have you really made up your mind, Armand?” she asked him.

She didn’t want him to regret it in the future.

Armand said affirmatively, “As long as we can be together, I’m fine with staying anywhere.”

Before moving to C-town, he went to Matthew and told him that he had decided to move to C-town. He did not ask Matthew for his opinion, but only informed him.

Matthew agreed with him. He has his own intention: Oscar had a young mind, but he was getting older. The JK Group, which Oscar was in charge of now, belonged to Dolores, so Oscar could not be in charge forever. In the future, someone would have to replace him.

Right now, Matthew had no trusted assistant. If Armand moved to C-Town, this problem could be solved without any problems. In addition, there was also a textile factory. Kevin could not go back there for the time being. Besides, Kevin was also getting old. Someone else had to take over in the future, no doubt.

If Armand settled in C-Town, all those problems could be solved.

Matthew also had another thought, but he would decide after discussing it with Dolores.
