Chapter 837

Caroline had already opened the invitation card. It seemed that Marietta had specially signed her name on the card with a fountain pen to show her sincerity.

Caroline took in all of this.

Sean rushed back into the room, but it was too late. He was on the verge of calling the psychologist but then realized that Caroline seemed just fine.

She even cocked her sideways and asked, “This is for me. Why didn’t you give it to me? Also, who’s Marietta Weiss? Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name before?”

Sean stared at her in absolute shock. Just a few days ago on the cruise ship, Caroline had passed out after Yvonne had mentioned Marietta.

This time, though, she hadn’t had much of a reaction to the name and had even asked him about it.

What exactly was going on?

Overwhelmed, Sean said, “Hold on. Go back to your room first. I-I have some business to attend to. I need to make a call.”

Seeing how nervous he was, Caroline could only leave the room.

Once she left, Sean wasted no time calling Kirk. The fact that the two of them had just quarreled not long ago was long forgotten.

“Major discovery here! Caroline didn’t have much of a reaction when she saw Marietta’s name just now,”

said Sean as he walked to his computer desk.

“I’m going to call Michael’s student now.”

“Okay,” said a nervous Kirk from the other end of the line.

Then, Sean contacted Michael’s student, who listened to Sean’s account of events and replied, “It’s normal. Lots of amnesiac patients have experienced this before.”

He explained, “Think of a human’s memories as a bottle. It can’t expand in size. When one person occupies a large space in a person’s memory, the space for memories about someone else decreases too.

“I’ve looked into the madam and Ms. Weiss’ condition. After finding her biological daughter, Ms. Weiss started distancing herself from the madam, be it unintentionally or not.

“It hurt the madam, so she chose to forget some of the memories related to Ms. Weiss. As such, the ratio of memory Ms. Weiss occupies in the madam’s mind decreased.

“That’s why the madam didn’t have much of a reaction to her anymore.”

Sean asked, “Are you saying that she wouldn’t have a huge reaction even if she met Ms. Weiss in person?”

“You can say that. But nothing is certain,” the psychologist replied.

Later, Sean hung up and asked Kirk. “Kirk, did you hear that?”

Kirk drove in silence while tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. It took him some time to respond with a “yes.”

“Do you know what this means?” Sean asked.

“Yes, I do.” His voice was cool.

It meant that Caroline could finally reconnect with people from her past, even if she had lost the memories she shared with them.

She could get to know Cheryl and Jack again, and she could slowly remember that she had taken over Collins Group.

However, she couldn’t get back with Kirk again. He was the exception because he occupied the most space in her bottle of memories.

“Do you think we should let her meet Ms. Weiss then?”

“Let her go.” Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose.

“She likes Marietta a lot. Maybe their reunion can lead to something positive.”

“Okay.” Sean gave it some thought before deciding that it was best not to bring up the issue of moving all the bodyguards to watch over Caroline.

He decided to give it a few days. Perhaps Kirk would think things through.

After hanging up, Sean took the invitation card and went to Caroline’s room. He knocked on the door and handed her the card.

“I threw it away because you once knew the person who invited you-Ms. Weiss.”

Sean watched Caroline’s reaction as he spoke. After making sure that she wasn’t emotionally triggered, he continued, “You heard her name before and fainted. You probably don’t remember it, though.”

“So… is this also why Mr. Y won’t tell me his name and has to wear a mask when I’m around?”
