However, since the rm had not been turned off, it meant that the surveince cameras had not been
turned off either. Perhaps the scene was captured.
Feeling dejected, Gerald returned to the ward.
When Stan heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he called out anxiously, "Gerald! Gerald,
come here."
Gerald walked over. "What''s the matter, Uncle?"
"Is it really summer now? Did I really lose my memory? What on earth is going on? Wasn''t I living well
in the old mansion? How did I end up with amnesia?" Stan could not understand.
Gerald could not understand either. He could only patiently answer his questions, "You hit your head.
That''s why you lost your memory. But the doctor said it''s only temporary. Don''t worry, it''ll get better."
"What exactly is going on..." Stan felt a nk in his mind. The feeling of missing a chunk of memory
was very ufortable for him.
"What did I do? Why did I lose my memory?" Stan wondered.
Gerald remembered what the doctor said and added, "Oh right, Uncle, when the doctor was examining
you earlier, he found a blood vessel tumor in your brain.
"It’s this tumor that caused you to fall, but even so, there were other people in the old mansion at that
time. Maybe someone intentionally hurt you."
Then, he nced at Luke with a meaningful look.
"Someone hurt me?" Stan looked puzzled, suddenly feeling a headache. He held his head and said,
"My head hurts."
"Let the doctor give you a painkiller injection,” suggested Luca. She pressed the call button and told the
nurse, "The patient isining of a headache. Can you ask the doctor if he can prescribe a
painkiller injection or tablets?"
"Okay, please wait a moment," replied the nurse from the other end of the line.
Gerald''s eyes were locked on Luke. He seemed to be saying, ''I know you''re the culprit.''
Luke could not be bothered by it. He sat there, waiting for Gerald''s rtives and Gale to arrive.
He now felt ufortable.
It was because he had some intimate contact with Stan earlier, and he had not had time to take a
shower beforeim to the hosnital
Luke just wanted to finish things here quickly and go back to take a shower.
Apart from Luca and the children''s scent, Luke did not like having someone else''s scent on him.
Luca noticed Luke''s gentle sniffing of his own clothes and reassured him in a soft voice, "Just bear with
it for now. We''ll go home once this is settled."
"Okay." Luke''s gaze was cold. He did not say another word.

In this situation, all he could do was endure it and wait for Gale to bring the surveince footage so that
he couldpletely clear himself of the situation with Stan.
Gerald watched the intimate interaction between the two with great displeasure.
However, he could not vent his anger.
He knew Luca was from the Ind of Despair. Even though she was a woman, he was not foolish
enough to confront her head-on.
Gerald might not be able to win against those who had undergone professional training on the Ind of
Despair, even if they were children—let alone a woman.
After a while, the nurse came in with a painkiller injection. After confirming Stan''s name, she efficiently
administered the injection.
"The pain relief from the injection will take a while to kick in. Don''t worry, just stay calm and wait quietly.
Also, family members need to stay vignt.
"If the patient falls asleep, they should be woken up every hour to ensure they''re fully awake," said the
nurse.
Gerald, who was rough around the edges, did not understand the significance of this. "Why do that?
Isn''t that like torturing the patient? Also, the doctor just said to let the patient rest well.
"What you''re saying ispletely different. What''s up with you?"
The nurse rolled her eyes. She detested dealing with such family members. "The instructions I''m giving
are what the doctor asked me to convey. And this isn''t about torturing the patient.
"It''s because the patient hit his head, and there might beplications like brain hemorrhage, which
may not show up immediately. By doing this, we can provide timely and appropriate treatment if any
complications arise. Do you understand?"
She was a nurse. She was not as skilled in medicine as doctors, but that did not mean she would
randomly issue instructions to patients'' families.
Some doctors might overlook certain details. To save themselves the trouble, they would pass certain
tasks to the nurses when they remembered.
Some patients would listen to the messages conveyed, but some would doubt the professionalism of
the nurses.
Actually, there was nothing to doubt. Nurses would not speak without reason. If there were any
instructions for the patient, they had to be doctor''s orders. It had nothing to do with the nurses.
"Oh, okay." Gerald realized he had upset the nurse and remembered what others had said about not
offending doctors and nurses while a family member was hospitalized.
Otherwise, it would be the patient who would suffer. He could only awkwardly stop talking.
A few minutester, as the painkiller took effect, Stan''s groans gradually died down. He looked at
Gerald ana saia, Gerald, tell me about my Illness. What s going on?
"Uncle, I''m not a doctor. Ask the doctor during rounds tomorrow," replied Gerald. He suddenly
remembered that he had not asked the doctor in detail about Stan''s illness before. That was why when
Stan asked him now, he did not know what to say.
Stan blinked his eyes and asked again, "Is this cancer? Do I have cancer? Am I going to die?"
"No, Uncle, the doctor didn''t say that. Don''t let your imagination run wild," replied Gerald. Suddenly, he
remembered the blood vessel tumor in Stan''s brain. Was it not a tumor? If it was a brain tumor, then it
was a type of cancer, right?
Their level of education was not high. That was why when they heard the word tumor, they would
associate it with cancer. Luca saw the expression on Gerald’s face changing and knew what was going
on.
"A brain vascr tumor isn''t cancer. It''s an abnormal dtion of blood vessels. The most severe brain
vascr tumors can rupture and cause brain hemorrhage.
"If not rescued in time, it can be life-threatening. This isn''t cancer, Mr. Muller. Don’t worry," exined
Luca.
Stan could not afford to be frightened now. That was why Luca gave an exnation.
Otherwise, it might scare him out of his wits and the doctors would have to save him again...
When Stan heard this, hisplexion eased slightly. He looked hard at where Luca and Luke were
sitting. "So, I''m really okay?"
"Well, we can''t exactly say you''repletely fine. If the brain vascr tumor is treated conservatively,
you''ll need regr check-ups. If surgery is performed, it can be removed.
"But due to theplex brain structure, it''s hard to predict what might happen during surgery.
Nowadays, brain vascr tumor removal surgeries are quite mature.
"If you feel surgery is necessary, you don''t have to worry about it. The doctors will do their best to treat
you," Luca exined as thoroughly as possible to Stan.
"So, is it better to have the surgery or not?" Gerald immediately asked since Luca had a lot of medical
knowledge.
"It depends on the patient''s own choice." Luca did not make the decision for him.
