    "What about this one?" asked Noel.


    "That''s my uncle!" answered Wanda.


    "And this?"


    "My aunt!"


    "What about this picture?"


    "This picture... That''s my brother!"


    "Very good. It seems our treatment is very effective!"


    Noel beamed with joy.


    He then took out a photo of one of the kidnappers and asked, "Do you recognize this person?


    Wanda''s brows scrunched up as she thought about it. Noel held his breath as his keen eyes scrutinized Wanda.


    Wanda shook her head.


    "I don''t recognize him..."


    She did not recall ever seeing him.


    Noel then pulled out a photo of Carlisle and asked, "Do you recall this man?"


    Wanda stared at the photo for a long time.


    Noel reminded her, "He''s your ssmate."


    Wanda shook her head and said, "I don''t recall him."


    Noel breathed a slight sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The treatment was very sessful, but you''ll need to stay here for a few more months for observation. During this time, we''ll arrange your sses so you won''t fall behind on your studies."


    Her neurons were active, but even severed neurons could reconnect.


    This situation was akin to dissociative amnesia. As proven by research, dissociative amnesia was caused by neurons losing their vitality, resulting in the disconnect of stronger synaptic connections. This thus led to the loss of significant memories.


    Those neurons may recover and reconnect if the memory cells regain vitality. Thus, there was also a chance to recover from dissociative amnesia.


    Monthly ultrasound suppression was necessary to prevent the reconnection of Wanda''s neurons until the memory cell''s activity patterns changed.


    Wanda massaged her temples and asked, "What was I sick with? It seems that I can''t remember certain things."


    She felt as if shecked some memories.


    She wondered what her illness was and how she got there. It also seemed that she had forgotten a close friend.


    "You had an extremely rare neurological illness. It caused your amnesia. However, those were some insignificant memories."


    Noel fabricated a very reasonable answer.


    Wanda sat up in her sleeping pod and asked softly, "May I call my brother?"


    Noel chuckled in a friendly manner and replied, "You can''t contact those outside during the treatment period. However, your parents will visit you once a month..."


    At Rivend University, Susan announced the ss and club representatives during thest ss of the morning.


    Carlisle was elected as the ss monitor.


    Ruby assumed the role of discipline chairperson.


    Christine became the academic chairperson.


    Joanne Redd took on the role of organization chairperson.


    Hailey Autumn was appointed as chairperson in charge of sports.


    Lydia Rickson was chosen as the publicity chairperson.


    Phoebe became the student union branch secretary.


    The bell rang. Susan announced that the ss had ended and left the ss.


    Carlisle had slept ratherte the night before. He nned to return to his apartment for an afternoon nap due to his packed afternoon schedule.


    Upon reaching the door, Phoebe suddenly said, "Carlisle, someone really contacted us, huh? Would you like to follow us to thepany?"


    After all, it was Carlisle who found the investor. She and Christine both thought it was better if Carlisle met him.


    "The both of you may go ahead. I want to take a nap!" replied Carlisle, shaking his head.


    He then left without turning back.


    Phoebe watched as he left and mumbled softly, "I wonder when Wanda will return. CarlisleCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    doesn''t smile as often now."


    Christine remained silent as she looked at the floor. She felt extremely conflicted. She had given up on Carlisle, so why was she still hoping that Wanda wouldn''t return?


    She shook off herplicated thoughts and said softly, "Let''s go to thepany. We shouldn''t keep the investor waiting for long!"


    Carlisle skipped his meal at the cafeteria. Upon reaching his apartment, he set an rm before going to sleep.


    Soon, he started dreaming. He dreamt that he and Wanda were married.


    He was holding a bouquet of white flowers in front of arge crowd as he walked up to Wanda, who was in her wedding gown.


    "Wanda... I love you!"


    Carlisle lovingly extracted a wedding ring from his pocket.


    However, Wanda only stared at Carlisle in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
