Though he woke up slightly late, his recovery was considered speedy since he regained consciousness. He should have remained in the hospital under observation for a few more days, but he was reluctant to do so and got discharged.
"Elliot, the doctor says that it's normal if you are missing fragments of your memories. You will regain them slowly in the next couple of days.” Gary tried to help Elliot toward the bed.
Elliot pushed Gary's hand away once he sat down on the bed.
"Regain my memories?" He asked in a hoarse voice as he glanced over. "Are you saying that I've lost my memories" Gary's heart throbbed at Elliot's cold and dominating exterior. There was no telling what Elliot remembered and what he had forgotten.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Elliot woke up from the surgery, he had not spoken much and had barely answered any questions that the doctor asked.
However, the scans of Elliot's brain showed that there was no abnormality in his brain, so the doctor concluded that Elliot might remember what happened in the past but he might not remember certain events.
What the doctor said was just as good as nothing.
"You had a small procedure done." Gary pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Elliot. "You did so out of your own free will.
There's your signature on the consent form.
"What kind of procedure?" Elliot's head was pounding and he could not seem to focus on recalling what had happened.
"Memory removal surgery." Gary showed him the consent form. "It's one of the latest treatments that have yet to be broadly practiced. You chose to do this because you were in immense pain." "Why was | in pain?" He accepted the consent form and looked at it.
"Do you remember Avery Tate?" Gary studied his face, not letting the smallest change in expression escape. Elliot's answer to his question would determine whether the surgery had been successful.
"No. Who's that?" Elliot responded immediately.
Gary sighed a breath of relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed like the surgery was a huge success if Elliot had forgotten about Avery, despite how much he loved her.
"She is your nemesis," Gary spat out. "She destroyed you." "Impossible!" Elliot clenched his fists ?e"; PJX= crumpled the consent form in his hands. He could not possibly be destroyed by a mere woman.
"Elliot, do you still remember that you are the president of Sterling Group?" Gary grabbed his arm.
Elliot nodded. He remembered that he was the president of Sterling Group, the youngest and most accomplished entrepreneur in Aryadelle. He occupied the place of the wealthiest man in Aryadelle for years, and everyone looked up to him like he was the untouchable god of Aryadelle. Those who tried to steal his wealth by assassinating him had all failed and died miserably at his hands.
"You are no longer president of Sterling Group! Check the news yourself if you don't want to take my word for it!" Gary handed him his phone. "Avery Tate took everything from you! She used your love for her to take over your company, before handing it over to another man. You were so heartbroken that you ctoin the end. Elliot, | didn’t want to tell you all of this at first out of concern that this would bring back painful memories, but | have to give you the chance to clear your head so that you can start your life over." "Are you certain that this woman managed to play me?" Elliot grabbed onto the phone tightly as his eyes glimmered with murderous rage.
"Of course, you weren't that stupid,” Gary consoled. "She gave birth to three of your children. She used them to take control of your body and manipulated your mind, before taking everything away from you." "Three children..." Elliot mumbled, "I have three kids?" "Yes, and Avery has full custody over all three of them. If you want your kids back, you have to get stronger!" Gary showed him the bloody truth and continued, "You have nothing right now and couldn't possibly win against her."
