He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Test

Caught off guard for a moment, Michael Marshall introduced: “Dad, it’s Bella and Matthew here to see you. One is your daughter-in-law, the other is your grandson.”

Mr. Alexander Marshall looked at everyone with a blank face and only focused his gaze on Olivia Jenkins.

In an instant, Olivia Jenkins approached Mr. Alexander Marshall’s bedside and softly repeated the introductions.

Mr. Alexander Marshall’s expression remained unchanged. He paid no attention to Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall, demanding only Olivia Jenkins to sit beside him and keep him company.

Mr. Alexander Marshall also tightly held on to Olivia Jenkins’s hand, as if afraid that she would leave.

Perceiving this, Olivia Jenkins frowned and instructed: “Dad, why don’t you have a talk with the chief physician? Let’s have them leave for now.”

Choking back a surge of anger, Michael Marshall glaringly scolded Olivia Jenkins, “What have you been saying to my father during my absence from the room? What are you really up to? Are you happy if you tear the Marshall Family into pieces?”

Before Olivia Jenkins could retort, Mr. Alexander Marshall pointed at Michael Marshall and scolded: “Get out! You are not allowed to scold my Jenkins girl. I don’t know them, make them leave, too.”

The entire ward filled with tension. Bella Thompson stood there, confused by Mr. Alexander Marshall’s reaction, but before Michael Marshall could argue further with Olivia Jenkins, Bella pretended to be considerate and suggested: “Darling, let’s step outside for now, we are okay. After all, it’s Dad’s health that’s more important.”

Seeing that his father was refusing to acknowledge Bella and Matthew, and his sudden strange behavior, Michael Marshall was filled with questions. He had no choice but to accompany Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall out of the room.

They all went to speak with the chief physician in his office, desperate to work out what was really going on.

After hearing out Michael Marshall, the chief physician’s expression turned serious, “President Marshall, has there been any other anomaly from Mr. Alexander Marshall before? Think carefully.”

After a moment, Michael Marshall shook his head, “The last few days, my father has been experiencing headaches. He took an injection and went to sleep. When he was awake, he seemed fine. He recognized us, but now, he cannot recognize my wife and our youngest son.”

“So you are saying, Mr. Alexander Marshall has never met Mrs. Olivia Marshall or Matthew since he woke up after surgery?”

Michael Marshall nodded, “We feared my dad would be upset and refrained from mentioning my wife or our youngest son to him.”

The chief physician’s face grew solemn and he said in a grave tone, “I had told you guys before that due to the brain injury, Mr. Alexander Marshall may experience memory loss during his recovery process.”

“At present, what he is experiencing might be selective amnesia. However, we need to continue observing him to determine whether he is suffering from selective or intermittent memory loss, and whether there might be other more serious complications.”

Michael Marshall’s forehead instantly filled with worry.

Bella Thompson lovingly held Michael Marshall’s hand, comforting him, “Darling, we will take good care of Dad together. We can surely cure him. Don’t worry; no matter what comes our way, I will shoulder it with you.”

No words came out of Michael Marshall as he held Bella Thompson’s hand.

The family just seemed to lurch from crisis to crisis. It was so frustrating.

Exhaustion was written all over Michael Marshall’s face.

…

While Michael Marshall stayed at the hospital, he had the chauffeur take Bella Thompson and Matthew back to Beverly Hills first.

As soon as Daniel Marshall received a call from Olivia Jenkins, he hurried to the hospital.

The chief physician performed some tests using photographs. Indeed, Mr. Alexander Marshall couldn’t recall some people.

Once the tests were over, Olivia Jenkins stayed in the ward to keep their grandfather company, while Daniel Marshall and Michael Marshall stepped outside for a conversation with the chief physician.

“Mr. Alexander Marshall’s condition is relatively stable, although it’s challenging to restore his memory back to the state before the car accident. The frequency of his headaches has decreased. You should try speaking to him more about significant matters to mildly stimulate his brain. However, if he experiences a headache, you must immediately stop,” the chief physician advised.
