A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Sean, please calm down..." Emily soothed Sean for some time and then moved to another topic. "Sean, your medical skills are remarkable, and I was wondering whether you had any methods to help someone regain their memories?" she asked tentatively.

"Regain memories? What do you mean? Who are you talking about?" Sean's curiosity was piqued.

Emily hesitated for some time trying to figure out whether she should tell him everything or not. "Just a friend. He's suffering from retrograde amnesia and we've tried various methods but none of them bore positive results..."

"You mean your friend Jacob, right?" Sean stopped short.

Emily stuttered and did not utter any words for some moments.

"You are still with him, right?" Sean, however, didn't seem surprised, instead he took a deep breath before he continued, "So you have made your choice, haven't you?"

Emily's grip on the phone tightened and she firmly said, "Yes, I have made up my mind. I've decide to stay with him, forever."

Sean clamped his mouth shut in silence for some time. Judging by his silence, Emily thought he wasn't going to help her so she decided to hang up when he said, "Bring him to me. I can help you."

Startled, a smile appeared on Emily's face as she said, "What did you say?"

Sean patiently repeated his words again just so Emily would believe him. "Really? Thank you so much, brother!"

Sean smiled wryly and said, "As long as it makes you happy..."

Emily felt relieved thinking that Sean finally let go of his feelings for her. After all, why else would he agree to help Jacob recover his memories if he still couldn't let go? "Dear brother, let bygones be bygones. I hope that someday you will find the right person for you in the future."

"If only it were that simple," Sean said under his breath before hanging up the phone.

Emily took a long pause, while staring at the phone in her hand lost in thought. Emily knew that Sean had feelings for Cloris, but it was time to let go of that part of her life because at the end of the day, she wasn't Cloris.
