Chapter 156
After seeing Christina in the hospital ICU, Stephanie performed a series of tests on her and confirmed she could be transferred to the general ward Christina looked somewhat dazed when she woke up, which worried Frederick and Edith.
Edith pulled Stephanie out of the ward and whispered, “Stephie, why do I feel something is wrong with Christie?”
ས
Stephanie looked at Christina leaning against the bed through the small window on the ward door. “Edith, Christie might have lost her memory. She can’t remember what happened to her. Don’t let her think about it for now.”
“Will she lose her memory forever?”Edith asked.
Stephanie shook her head. “I can’t be sure of that, We have to wait and see.”
Edith sighed softly. “It doesn’t matter even if she has lost her memory. The most important thing i
g is that she is still alive and healthy.”
Stephanie squeezed Edith’s hand. “Don’t worry. Christie won’t have any other complications aside from amnesia.”
Edith hold Stephanie’s hand gratefully. “Thank you, Stephie.”
Stephanie held Edith’s hand in return. “I’m sorry, Edith. It was because of me that Christie ”
“Don’t be sorry. We’re family. Let’s go see Christie together.” After Edith said this, Stephanie nodded and followed her into the ward.
Christina looked at Stephanie, her eyes full of strangeness and surprise. “Uncle Vincent said you were his wife. I didn’t expect Uncle Vincent’s wife to be such a beautiful doctor!”
Stephanie smiled faintly. “Hello, I’m Stephanie.”
Christina smiled. “Hello, I’m Christina. You can call me Christie.”
Stephanie nodded slightly. “Okay, Christie.”
Edith sat on the edge of the bed and asked, “Christie, do you remember me?”
“Of course I do. You’re Mom!” Christina took Edith’s arm with a smile. “Where are Dad and Olivia?”
These words startled everyone present. Christina’s memory stopped at the time befo
before Olivia had pushed her down the stairs. This time span was long.
Olivia was missing, and she was an extremely dangerous person. Therefore, Vincent directly told Christina how Olivia had pushed her down the stairs and drugged her, causing her to fall into a coma for three years.
Upon hearing what Vincent said, Christina fell silent and quickly racked her brain. She knew Vincent would not lie to her, but she couldn’t remember anything. She frowned and felt a headache as she began thinking about things.
Stephanie advised, “Christie, all you need to do now is rest well. Don’t try to recall what happened in the past. Just take it easy. Perhaps you will remember it someday.”
Christina pursed her lips. “What if I can’t remember it?”
Edith gently stroked her thin face. “Your health is more important than anything else. I will tell you the parts that you don’t remember.”
Christina nodded. “Okay.”

Chapter 156
Because Stephanie had told everyone after surgery that Christina had injured the hippocampus and would likely have amnesia, they had been prepared. They just hadn’t expected Christina’s memory to stop at 15 years old. Thus, there might be no way of knowing how Christina had been kidnapped at this point or even in the future, After all, the structure of the human head was so complicated that no one could guarantee anything.
However, according to Shonda’s words, it could be inferred that this kidnapping case was likely related to the robot dog. But the robot dog had never been found and might have been destroyed. The whole thing seemed to get stuck at this dead end, and all clues came to an abrupt halt with Christina’s
amnesia.
Of course, a certain someone was relieved that Christina had lost her memory. After all, the person didn’t have to worry about being exposed and losing everything for the time being. But there was still a certain risk. Christina was a great potential threat to the person. Christina might never remember anything, but once she did, it would be disastrous for the person. The person wanted to get rid of Christina, but now was not the right time. The person had to wait for the right opportunity and do it perfectly.
A week later, Christina, Shonda, and Abigail were discharged from the hospital one after another.
At the same time, the trial for the film set explosion case and kidnapping case were also officially commenced. Because the case involved the Fletcher family, the Jimenez family, the Hayes family, and the families of the casualties on the film set, the courtroom was full of people.
Christina couldn’t be a witness because of amnesia, but that didn’t affect the verdict on the kidnapper Chandler. Stephanie, Madeline, Megan, and the crew on the film set all gave a detailed account of the incident. Chandler confessed everything and did not appeal.
Given the heinous nature of his crime and conclusive evidence, Chandler was sentenced to death with immediate execution and deprived of his civil rights for life. The family members of the casualties of the film set explosion could not control their long-suppressed emotions. They rushed over to surround Chandler and beat him up despite the police’s obstruction
After everyone was pulled away, Chandler was in a mess with a bruised face and bleeding mouth and nose. He looked in the direction of Megan with greedy eyes. He knew there would be no future for him and the woman he loved. This was his last time protecting her. He didn’t blame her for accusing him in court. After all, she had given him her precious virginity, and he had no regrets.
On the contrary, Megan avoided Chandler’s eyes for fear that others would discover something. She had finally steered clear of the matter and couldn’t let anyone catch her.
Stephanie didn’t miss Chandler’s affectionate look. She turned to look at Megan, who had already left in her suede boots.
Shonda nudged Christina’s arm with her elbow and asked in a low voice, “Christie, you and Megan used to have meals and coffee together. You even. made an appointment with her in a café before you were kidnapped. Why didn’t you even say hello to her now?”
Christina pursed her lips as she watched Megan disappear at the courtroom entrance. After losing her memory, she had no impression of Megan, but her family had told her something and asked her to stay away from Megan. Besides, she intuitively didn’t like Megan after seeing her.
At this time, a tall and handsome man walked toward Christina. Christina’s heart beat wildly, and she exclaimed inwardly. This is my idol!” She had been paying attention to this talented young man since junior high school, so she hadn’t forgotten him.
“Young lady, is your robot dog okay?” Malcolm asked.
Edith had told Christina all about her lost memory, so Christina knew the robot dog was most likely to be responsible for this disaster. But all this was just speculation. She had no recollection of the robot dog, and had only found its packaging box and product manual in a drawer in her bedroom. She blinked. “My robot dog disappeared after the incident.”
Malcolm thought for a moment. is there anything important inside? I can help you recover it.”
Christina was surprised. “Recover? But my robot dog is gone!”
“That’s fine. The last time I helped you recover it, I installed a new software i designed. This software works regardless of the product’s location. As long as we know the serial number of the product, it can be recovered,” Malcolm explained.

Coming over, Stephanie happened to hear this. She was surprised. “I never knew it could be recovered like this
82%
Vincent frowned and added, “This software is very similar to cloning technology. The memories of the original owner are transferred into a new carrier”
Malcolm nodded. “That’s right. But this technology is not allowed in the world, so I never launched it. I tried it the other day when I was helping this young lady with her robot dog
I
Vincent nodded and said. “Then let Christie check the serial number back home. How long will it take to restore the content?”
“Four hours,” Malcolm answered.
Christina took out her phone and asked, “Can we add each other as friends? I’ll send you the serial number,”
Malcolm smiled gently. “Of course.”
This scene was seen by Megan, who had turned around to pick up her leather gloves left on the seat. She froze, thinking, ‘No way!”
