My brother turned out to be my husband
Chapter 61: Dissociative Amnesia.

Evans suddenly flinched as he felt the delicate movement of Elena's hand that was in his grasp.

"El!" The man got up from his seat to press the call nurse button that was close to Elena's head.

Elena opened her eyes slowly.

"El," said Evans, with eyes full of freshness. A doctor and two nurses came into the room.

Evans immediately let go of her hand to Elena and stepped away from there to give them some space.

From a distance the man noticed how Doctor Michael examined the girl and asked her to speak.

Unlike previous accidents, this time Elena was able to follow Doctor Michael's instructions well. He can also communicate smoothly without stammering. Only, when the girl turned to look at Evans, a line of questions were thrown from her mouth, making them all shocked.

"Dok, who's that guy?"

Evans who heard Elena's question widened his eyes. He walked up to the girl and looked at her deeply.

"You don't remember who I am, El?" tanyanya.

Elena shook her head.

Evans turned his eyes to the doctor. "I'm her brother, Doc," tell the man.

"Can you remember who you are, Miss? Can you name your full name and identity" the bespectacled man said.

"My name is Elena Odelia Wileen, age 21. Born on February 23 xxxx. My identity number is 2637xxxxxxxxx. I'm the only child of Simon Wileen and Samantha Huxley Wileen." Elena explained smoothly about herself without a second thought. However, what makes Doctor Michael surprised is Elena's statement saying that she is an only child.

Evans who heard Elena's explanation looked a little disappointed.

"You sure you're an only child? Don't you have an older brother, Miss Elena?" ask the doctor again.

Elena nodded her head. "I'm an only child, Doc" the girl replied.

Doctor Michael also tried to check Elena's condition back. However, he firmly believes that Elena's condition is in good condition There are no side effects or significant problems after the surgery he did yesterday.

Not wanting to rely on mere speculation, the doctor said he would re-check Elena.

Meanwhile, Evans could only look at Elena with a sad look on his face. It never occurred to her that Elena would have amnesia like this.

...***...

Within two hours, Simon and Samantha arrived at the hospital again. Although the time has shown at seven o'clock at night, both still took the time to go back there.

Previously, Evans had told them about the possibility of Elena experiencing amnesia. So, the man asked his parents not to be surprised, if Elena could not recognize them. Because, according to Doctor Michael, Elena could only remember the names of her parents, but not on their faces.

However, what happened even made Evans amazed. Elena remembers Simon and Samantha. Not only that, for the sake of convincing his condition, Samantha showed some photos of their family and also photos of Jemima.

The outcome? Elena can remember all of her family's faces well, even Jemima's.

The only person he can't recognize is Evans.

Finding that reality, Evans can only be confused. His heart was filled with confusion as well as disappointment.

Simon, realizing this, approached the son and grabbed him by the shoulder. "We're waiting for Elena's re-examination. Be patient" said the middle-aged man.

Evans nodded slowly. The man seemed speechless.

...*************...

"In most cases, amnesia only interferes with short-term memory. Therefore, the sufferer may still remember correctly his experience as a child. However, he was unable to remember what date and month he was currently eating, what he was eating at breakfast, or where he currently lives. Unlike dementia, amnesia often does not affect a person's intelligence."

Evans, Simon, Samantha, and Jemima who were there, listened carefully to the doctor's explanation.

"However, often the aspects that are difficult to remember in amnesia sufferers are not single or just forget one person. What's more after doing various checks, there's nothing to worry about about Miss Elena's condition." Doctor Michael ended his talk for a moment.

"Then, what really happened to my son, Doc? Why did he forget his brother?" ask Samantha curious.

Doctor Michael exhaled for a moment. "All I can conclude is one, which is dissociative amnesia. This type of amnesia blocks certain information from the traumatic event he or she has experienced. It could be, Miss Elena may have experienced a painful incident with Mr. Evans."

Hearing the doctor's answer, Evans' body suddenly limp. He leaned back on his chair.

"One more thing I can say, that dissociative amnesia is not the same as ordinary amnesia. Those who suffer from amnesia actually still have a memory. It's just that the memory was buried deep in his mind."

Without saying anything, Evans walked out of Doctor Michael's room with shaky steps.

Samantha, seeing the sad look of her son, is about to catch up with Evans, but Simon holds her back.

"Let him calm down first" Simon told his beloved wife.

Evans sits in a park chair, holding his head up.

The man deliberately closed his eyes for a moment, in order to recall their togetherness some time ago.

He even let the pain he was suffering from get even more intense, as a punishment for what he had done to Elena.

A drop of clear liquid came out from the man's eye pellet. A second later, a discordant laugh came out of his mouth.

"Now, what are you going to do, asshole!" it means to yourself.

...***...

Evans opened the door of Elena's treatment room slowly.

Both of their parents were apparently taking Elena to talk, while feeding the girl.

Seeing Evans coming, Elena frowned. "Ma, why does that guy always come here?" ask the girl to her mother.

Hearing the question her daughter asked, Samantha was stunned for a moment.

"Because he's your brother, son. Your memory is just a little bit distracted. In a few days, you will definitely be able to remember it again." This time, Simon opened his voice.

The middle-aged man told Evans to come in and get close to them.

With doubt, Evans obeyed his father's orders.

A single grin was imprinted on the man's face, when it had arrived before Elena.

"I'm sorry I can't remember you" said Elena.

Evans smiled as he extended his hand to the girl's cheek. "What's wrong. No need to force it. Your recovery is far above all."

He asked them for permission to go to the toilet for a moment.

Elena nodded and smiled slightly. However, as soon as Evans turned around, the girl stared at the sister's back with an indecipherable look in her eyes.
