Chapter 1628:
Tamara said, “Your father’s been having frequent headaches lately, hasn't he? There's a real possibility his
memories from before the accident are beginning to resurface. That's why | asked Dr. Brooks to cand
examine him.”
“I see.” Zaria’'s expression shifted into a perfectly measured surprise. She leaned forward slightly, her voice
laced with anticipation. “So... does that mean my father might actually start remembering things from before the
accident?”
“It's difficult to say for certain,” Dr. Brooks replied.
He turned his attention to Elwood, his tone grave. “Mr. Wright, are you sure you want to retrieve those lost
memories? The accident erased a portion of your past, likely memories your mind deemed too traumatic to
retain. In many cases like yours, the brain initiates a self-preservation response, sealing away painful
experiences to protect the psyche. From a medical perspective, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
He paused for a moment, his eyes searching Elwood’s. “So before we proceed, | must ask again—do you truly
wish to recall what happened before the accident?”
“I do,” Elwood answered without hesitation, his voice unwavering.
“Elwood!” Tamara’s brows drew together in worry. Her voice rose slightly, tinged with concern. “Dr. Brooks has a
point. If those memories were lost, maybe they're better forgotten. Why reopen wounds that have already

Elwood’s gaze remained steady. His expression was calm but resolute. “Whether the memories are pleasant or
painful, they belong to me. Every moment—good or bad—shaped who | am. | want to remember. No matter what
the past holds.”
“Elwood—" Tamara began again, but Elwood gently cut her off.
“That's enough, Mom. You don’t need to say anything more. My mind is made up.” His voice held a quiet finality
that left no room for argument.
Tamara bit her lip, knowing full well that nothing she said would change his mind. It seemed the only option left
was to proceed as she had originally planned.
As that thought settled in, Tamara cast a meaningful glance at Dr. Brooks. He caught the look immediately. His
eyelids lowered for a brief moment, and with a subtle nod, he acknowledged her silent command.

Zaria caught the brief exchange. A flicker of suspicion flashed through her gaze. She knew exactly what her
grandmother intended: the doctor would hypnotize her father again—not to unlock memories, but to bury them
even deeper, ensuring he forgot Carola.
This time, it would be permanent. Her father would likely forget Carola entirely afterward. Even hearing her

Zaria's thoughts were interrupted by Dr. Brooks’ voice.
