Chapter 99: 100. Speckled Memories
“I’m just used to it!”
Ivy Aretha didn’t want to argue with him in this place. His attitude was such that it was impossible not to argue. In this matter, she couldn’t lose the momentum!
Michael Gordon’s brain was wrapped around the thought of her being used to this, and he was stunned as he looked at Ivy, imagining her going to prenatal check-ups alone with her pregnant belly, giving birth alone, and taking care of her child alone…
Unknowingly, the icy gaze that Michael Gordon had fixed on her became much gentler!
Seeing his softer attitude and more relaxed expression, Ivy’s attitude also softened and her voice became much calmer: “You can visit Bianca often, I’ve said you can anytime!”
“Now, I want to live with my daughter, and you should live with her too!”
Michael Gordon nodded, his gaze on her deepening bit by bit, but his tone of voice softened little by little. “So there are only two choices: either I move in with you, or you two move in with me. You’re a woman, so I’ll let you choose!”
Time seemed to be forbidden for a moment!
Ivy hadn’t expected Michael to make this issue so clear-cut and even give her the right to choose. But in doing so, she had no grounds to object!
Because they were so close, Ivy could even feel his scorching gaze burning the top of her head. This feeling was very unpleasant, so unpleasant that her heart was uncontrollably racing!
For a while, Ivy couldn’t find a suitable word to answer this multiple-choice question!
Or rather, this wasn’t a multiple-choice question at all!
Having just relaxed a bit, Ivy’s body tensed up again!
“I choose neither!”
In the end, Ivy still chose the answer according to her most direct thoughts!
She didn’t want to live together with him for their child’s sake without understanding the whole situation!
When giving her answer, Ivy knew Michael would be angry, so she didn’t dare to look at his furious expression. After spending some time together, she was still a bit afraid of this man!
He had long been used to giving others multiple-choice questions, and the answers had to be within his acceptable range!
So it was only natural that he was dissatisfied with her answer!
After a moment of silence, Michael gave her two unexpected words: “Reason!”
Hearing these two words, Ivy was taken aback, and then she lifted her head, inadvertently meeting his deep gaze on her. In that instant, Ivy’s mind went completely blank!
That deep and tearful gaze was like an eternally burning flame, falling into the depths of her eyes, clearly reflecting his figure. Ivy seemed to see that graceful young man from her dream again!
A white shirt, a red scarf, canvas shoes, a smile on the corner of his lips, and deep eyes that could capture all her memories with just one glance!
That was her big brother!
Her big brother, Ivy’s mind seemed to be entangled by these three words, entangling and disturbing her normal thoughts. It was as if the person in front of her wasn’t Michael Gordon, but that half-sunny, half-melancholic young man who often appeared in her dreams!
Fragments of scattered memories flashed through her mind. She seemed to be crying, saying that she no longer had a father or a mother, and from then on, she was an orphan!
Wait, that’s not right, she seemed to be dying too!
She was calling for help, calling for her big brother to save her!
But her big brother didn’t appear!
Her big brother was gone!
Then the car she was sitting in overturned!
Everything was gone!
No father, no mother, she was gone too!
They were all dead!
All dead? What about her big brother?
Ivy’s mind felt like it was about to explode, the painful swelling feeling rapidly spreading through her brain, tearing at her nerves. Scenes that had never existed in her life before quickly swept through her mind…
The boundless pain spread, and for an instant, Ivy felt that her mind would be blown to bits, all because of Michael’s gaze!
She couldn’t help but hold her head, not daring to look into his eyes that were deep like the rings of time!

“Ivy, what’s wrong?” Michael Gordon was shocked by her sudden reaction. “Are you having a headache? I’ll call the doctor for you!”
“My head hurts so much!”
Ivy didn’t know why, but all of a sudden, her head felt like it was going to explode. Headaches were an old problem for her, often attacking her in the past, as if possessed by evil spirits. In her mind, absurd images would appear!
There were her father, her mother, and her big brother!
But each time they appeared, she couldn’t see their faces clearly and they were always vague figures. But this time, she also saw a pair of deep, hurricane-like, soul-stealing eyes!
This old problem hadn’t bothered her much since giving birth to Bianca Aretha, but recently it had become more frequent!
A few days ago, it was just a dream!
But this time, it was as if she’d been triggered while awake, her mind suddenly exploding!
The doctor arrived quickly!
“Check her out, she suddenly had a headache. Check if there’s anything growing in her brain,” Michael said, the only thing he could think of, and also the most frightening!
A brain tumor would directly cause headaches!
As soon as the boss spoke, the doctor’s work efficiency increased several times. Ivy was pushed into the examination room, and half an hour later, the conclusion was out!
“How is it? Is there something growing in her brain?”
He snatched the film from the doctor before he had even taken it out!
“Mr. Gordon, rest assured, there is no such thing as a tumor in Miss Aretha’s brain!” Doctor Zinn glanced at Ivy, who had somewhat recovered, and then turned to Michael. “However, the report shows that Miss Aretha’s brain had suffered a severe injury before, presumably around the age of eight or nine!”
“What do you mean?”
Hearing this, Michael’s heart rose in his throat. His gaze moved from the doctor’s face to Ivy’s head resting on the hospital bed, growing heavier inch by inch!
Her brain had been severely injured?
Just like him?
“I mean, if I’m not guessing wrong, all of Miss Aretha’s memories are from after this accident. In other words, her memories before the age of eight or nine are blank for her now. Simply put, Miss Aretha had amnesia when she was a child!”
Doctor Zinn paused for a moment, then continued: “Lost memories can sometimes be recovered, provided that they are under special circumstances and in familiar environments. For example, familiar people and things can cause illusions in the brain. These illusions can directly cause headaches and neuralgia. When you had your headache, did you see any fragments in your mind that weren’t part of your memory?”
