Hearing the news about Star waking up, Gabrielle was thrilled. Looking at Westley with disbelief, she asked, "Are you serious, Westley? He is awake?" At that time, Gabrielle was so excited that she didn't even know what to say.
After all, she really cared about Star and she had been wishing for him to wake up as soon as possible.
As she had thought that it would take a very long time for him to wake up, she was surprised to hear that he was indeed awake.
With a wide grin on his face, Westley said, "Yes, he woke up just a minute ago." Of course, Westley knew how much Gabrielle was excited.
After all, this was what Gabrielle had been waiting for. Therefore, she would be the most excited one to hear the news of Star waking up.
Not wanting to waste the time anymore, Gabrielle stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Let's go to the hospital to see him now, Westley."
As she hadn't eaten much, Westley asked her worriedly, "Are you full?"
After all, Gabrielle was very tired after shopping all day, and she hadn't eaten much steak, so she would definitely be hungry.
Gabrielle shook her head and replied, "No, but that doesn't matter. I've almost finished it and it's more important to see Star now." How could Gabrielle continue to eat when she just heard the wonderful news?
All she wanted to do right now was to go to the hospital to see Star and make sure he was fine.
Therefore, Gabrielle couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay. Let's go to the hospital first to see Star. But if you are hungry again, just tell me, okay? I will grab something for you to eat."
"Okay, let's go now." After saying that, Gabrielle held Westley's hand and rushed out.
She couldn't wait to see Star.
After paying the bill, Westley took her out of the restaurant. Then, the two of them rushed towards the hospital.
Standing outside the ward, Gabrielle got so nervous that she didn't even dare to open the door. Holding the handle of the door, she uttered in a low voice, "Westley, what should I say? I'm so excited and nervous right now."
"Gabrielle, don't be so nervous. I'm sure he will be fine. Plus, Remy is already here." Holding her hand to offer reassurance, Westley pushed the door open.
Once he opened the door, they saw Remy and he was doing a general check-up with Star's attending doctor.
Seeing it, Gabrielle and Westley entered the room and stood quietly aside while looking at the boy lying on the bed.
Indeed, Star was awake and he was lying there obediently as the doctors did the examination.
The way he was obedient and sensible made Gabrielle feel bad for him.
About ten minutes later, the examination was over. After talking with Remy, the doctor left the ward.
"Everything's good. Star is fine now." Then, Remy calmly summarized about Star's situation.
After listening everything, it seemed that there was nothing serious now.
Only then did Gabrielle breathe a sigh of relief.
Rubbing her head adoringly, Westley said, "Did you hear that, Gabrielle? The doctor said that there is nothing to worry about Star. You can rest assured now."
"Westley, let's go and talk to him." Holding Westley's hand, Gabrielle stood beside the bed and looked down at little Star with her eyes filled with concern.
Grabbing her hand, Westley said softly, "Yes, but I think it's a good thing for him."
Nodding her head, Gabrielle agreed, "I think so too. He had been through a traumatic experience so it's good that he forgot about it. But we have no way to learn who he is now." Honestly, Gabrielle was still worried about Star's health.
Turning to look at Remy, Gabrielle asked, "But Remy, Star didn't hurt his head. I thought memory loss is only caused by brain injury or something?"
Hearing it, Remy briefly explained the situation. "Most of the time, it's true that brain injury could lead to memory loss. But in some cases, if a patient had been through a traumatic experience, he could also lose some parts of his memory. I think Star's case is the latter."
After all, this kind of mental disease could be caused by many things.
Therefore, Remy wasn't sure about it.
Hearing it, Gabrielle asked worriedly, "Is that serious? Will he get better soon?"
Truth be told, she was a little bit selfish. She hoped that Star would never recover from this amnesia.
In that way, he wouldn't have to live his life with the painful memory.
"To be honest, it's really hard to say. Some people never got their memory back, but some can get their memory very soon." For now, that was all Remy could say.
After all, amnesia couldn't be cured with medicine. In some cases, some people couldn't gain the memory back no matter how hard they tried.
Even as a doctor, he wasn't sure of it.
Looking at him, Gabrielle said, "So, you mean there is a possibility that he won't regain his memories for the rest of his life?"
