    When the ss bell rang, Christine said, "I''d better return to my seat now."


    Carlisle, lost in thought, stood up and moved his chair aside, allowing Christine to leave Wanda''s seat and return to her own.


    Carlisle continued to stare nkly as he sat in his seat. He wondered if memory erasure was possible. Perhaps he was unaware of it because he hadn''t been able to ess that kind of information-just like those hical experiments abroad that only came to light after being exposed to the world.


    The psychiatric rehabilitation hospital where Wanda was staying was a good example. After all, it was a private hospital founded by the rich and unknown to the public. ording to Wendell''s information, it studied cures for diseases that were deemed untreatable by conventional means.


    Considering dissociative amnesia might also result in partial memory loss, Carlisle found his theory usible.


    Carlisle took out his phone and sent Shania a message.


    "Shania, you know a neurology expert, right? Could you ask them if there''s any talk in the medicalmunity about memory erasure?"


    Shania, who was discussing the acquisition of the local seafood business with Lethan and Nathan at a café, received Carlisle''s message.


    She frowned and remarked, "Memory erasure? Is this some kind of sci-fi movie?"All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Lethan asked curiously, "What?"


    Shania showed him the message.


    After reading it, Lethan asked in puzzlement, "Why does he want to know?"


    Shania shook her head.


    "I don''t know."


    Lethan urged, "Well, do him a favor and find out for him."


    Whatever Carlisle''s intentions might be, Lethan figured it must be something important.


    Shania immediately called her old friend, who was studying abroad.


    "Wow, what a surprise! Why the sudden call, my friend?"


    Azy, masculine voice came from the other end of the phone.


    Nathan''s gaze darkened slightly upon hearing the voice.


    Shania chuckled and replied, "Hey, can''t a high school ssmate call you out of the blue?"


    The voice on the other end chuckled.


    "Alright. What do you need?"


    "A friend of mine wants to know if there''s any talk about memory erasure in the medicalmunity."


    Shania got straight to the point.


    "Actually, there is! In 2002, Amilica developed a device that analyzes brain neuron data. This device can effectively inhibit neural connections, making people forget specific memories—"


    "Seriously? Such technology actually exists?" Shania eximed, her eyes widening in disbelief.


    It sounded too fantastical to be true.


    The voice responded, "It does exist. But before this research was made public, thepany suddenly vanished!"


    Shania found it intriguing.


    "Was it bought out by some corporation that didn''t want the technology to be publicized?"


    "I''m not sure. Global Health Alliance may have some information about it."


    "I see. Thanks!" Shania said before ending the call.


    Lethan''s mouth twisted as he remarked, "That was a bit rude!"


    Shania responded indifferently, "He and I go way back. We used to hang out and eat together a lot during high school."


    Nathan tightened his grip on his cup, wondering if Shania had intentionally unted her history with another man before him. He internally questioned if she was unaware of his feelings for her.


    Shania reported her findings to Carlisle with a message.


    When Carlisle saw her reply, his face turned even paler. It confirmed his spection-some of Wanda''s memories had probably been erased. She really had no memories of him


    anymore.


    Carlisle felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was so intense it was almost suffocating. He nearly crushed the paper in his hand.


    "Carlisle..."
