Love Unspoken

The doctor said, "Tell me what happened to her before. What illness does she have? How am I supposed to know if you don't explain?"

Orion was too anxious. But hearing the doctor's words, he calmed down a bit. He sorted out his thoughts and then shared what he knew with the doctor. Orion himself was not very clear on the specifics.

The doctor was also unclear, knowing only that Quinn had Alzheimer's disease.

The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "So, you're saying that she only knows she is five years old now and doesn't remember anything else?" Orion nodded.

The doctor asked, "Can she understand language?"

Orion replied, "She can."

The doctor asked again, "Can she speak?"

Orion answered, "She probably can't. She was mute before, and now she definitely can't speak. So what's her situation now?"

The doctor glanced at Quinn, who was sitting obediently next to Orion, much calmer than Orion's anxiety.

Like an elementary school student sitting up straight, waiting for the teacher to start class.

The doctor asked, "Does she remember anything before the age of five?"

Orion fell silent, turned to look at Quinn, and gently squeezed her hand. "Quinn, do you remember anything?"

Quinn shook her head. She didn't remember anything.

The doctor observed Quinn's condition while recording on the computer.

"Sir, is this curable?" Orion had researched this disease beforehand, aware that it could lead to a vegetative state in severe cases.

Now, she was left with the mind of a five-year-old, naturally frightening Orion.

The doctor looked serious, pondered, and said, "It's hard to say if it's really the disease you mentioned, there is currently no cure for it." Orion was shocked.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

"But what puzzles me is that she knows she is five years old. She can understand what others are saying. She still has cognition, but her memory is completely blank," the doctor explained. Orion, not understanding these medical intricacies, asked, "What's so strange about that?"

The doctor explained, "If the disease had truly advanced to the point where she forgets her own identity, then she would likely experience impaired cognitive functions. Her hearing, recognition, and language abilities would deteriorate along with her memory."

"So, what are you implying?" Orion asked.

After some thought, the doctor said, " Based on my assumption, I believe that before she turned five years old, she likely experienced amnesia, which is unrelated to her current illness. Therefore, she retains instinctive memory of bodily functions."

Orion scratched his head, not understanding any of it.

The doctor added, "Of course, you can go to another hospital to check."

This hospital was best known for its oncology department, so its neurology department may not have been as highly regarded.

"Okay, I got it." Orion still held Quinn's hand and asked, "Should we get her some medication or something?"

The doctor glanced at him. "Didn't the hospital you went to before prescribe any medication?"

Orion said, "They should have."

"What do you mean 'should have'? Who are you to her?" The doctor scrutinized him as if he was a trafficker.

Orion hurriedly said, "I'm her husband!"

The doctor said, "And you don't know if she took any medication?"

Orion awkwardly explained, "She wasn't with me before."

Since the doctor didn't want to discuss it further, he printed out the diagnosis and handed it to Orion. "You can take this to a specialized hospital for further examination," he said. Orion said, "Okay, thank you."

Orion grabbed the diagnosis sheet, leading Quinn out of the examination room. He pulled out his phone and found Alexander's number.

Given Quinn's current condition, he knew he had to inform Alexander.
