Chapter 153: 134、Divine Transformation

In her muddled state and after the surgery, Ivy Aretha’s voice was extremely hoarse, and her mumbling words came out like whispers, full of pain. It was difficult to discern what exactly she was saying.

Michael Gordon lowered his head, his gaze locked on her trembling, pale lips, and he could vaguely make out a few clear words within her muddled murmurs.

Daddy, Mommy, please don’t!

These six words made Michael’s grip on the towel involuntarily tighten, his tall and slender body froze for a moment. Daddy and mommy, please don’t?

Didn’t she grow up in an orphanage?

Hasn’t she lost all of her memories in the car accident?

He remembered that Ivy’s memories before the age of five were all blank, so she didn’t have the concept of daddy and mommy in her life. Suddenly shouting out these four words left Michael Gordon feeling unexpectedly surprised. Could it be that the car accident made her remember all those disordered memories...

With this thought, Michael leaned down and wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead using the hot towel. Throwing it away, he brought his ear closer to her pale, bloodless lips, and the gentle murmurs, hazy and muddled, entered his ear, even though he could hardly make out what was being said.

Yet, Michael could still sensitively interpret the meaning of her trembling words...

"Daddy, mommy, please don’t leave me... I don’t want to be abandoned... I don’t want to be alone!"

As Michael’s movements froze, all the blood in his body seemed to rush up to his brain and explode, like a bloody truth bursting before his very eyes.

My God, was she abandoned by her parents?

Was it because of this that she became extraordinarily strong and sensitive, refusing to even rely on him because she couldn’t depend on anyone?

Is this why she was forced to be strong, and also raised her daughter to be strong?

All along, he had thought that it was due to an accidental twist of fate that forced her to raise a child alone. He believed that his absence had created her and her daughter’s strength.

But now, he suddenly realized that the story behind her heartbreakingly strong behavior was not only related to the accident he had caused but also to her background!

Apart from the car accident, what else had she experienced?

"Please, big brother, save me..."

After the words "save me" fell, the trembling lips tightly closed together, and there was no more sound. The tiny beads of sweat on her forehead gradually disappeared, and she once again slipped into unconsciousness.

"Ivy!"

Michael leaned close to her ear, attempting to gently wake her up, but she no longer had any response. He stared at her for a long time and, assuming she wouldn’t respond, Ivy’s long eyelashes trembled slightly for a moment. The movement was quite light, but Michael still noticed it.

He noticed her tightly closed eyes as well. Her pupils seemed to roll for a moment, as if she wanted to convey something. He even doubted that she was awake yet, with no strength to open her eyes or move!

"What’s wrong?"

Lucas Sandy, hearing the alarm bell rang by Michael, came over. Arriving, he found everything seemed normal.

"She just had cold sweats on her forehead, and she kept mumbling about daddy, mommy, big brother, and other nonsense. She lost her memories from before she was five years old because of a car accident. Could it be that the memories all came back because of this car accident?"

Michael was slightly excited, as he almost seemed to reveal all the emotions in his heart in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Moriya Sandy’s plain expression showed a hint of concern. He did not say anything, but simply walked over and examined Ivy Aretha’s condition with a stethoscope.

Only when he saw Michael’s tightly locked gaze did Moriya Sandy reluctantly speak softly: "After suffering such a heavy injury, the fact that she’s alive is already a miracle. It would be a miracle within a miracle if her brain was completely normal and her lost memories returned. Mr. Gordon, it’s better not to have such expectations!"

Having completed his examination and leaving the stethoscope behind, Moriya Sandy continued: "Moreover, it is quite normal for people to forget memories from before they were five, even without a car accident. That’s why most people choose to adopt a child before the age of five. It’s a feature of memory!"

Memories from before the age of five could be present or absent, and most people wouldn’t remember them.

Seeing that Michael remained silent, simply sitting down by Ivy’s hospital bed and staring blankly at her, Lucas Sandy gently reminded him: "Don’t worry, Mr. Gordon. Miss Aretha’s injuries are not serious, and her recovery is even faster than I expected. She seems to have quite a strong will to live. It’s truly a miracle!"

"When will she wake up?"

Michael was very concerned about this, as she had slept for so long. If he said he wasn’t worried, it would be a lie.

"If there are no complications, she should wake up before twelve o’clock tonight. Mr. Gordon, be prepared to stay up all night!"

The typically cold man’s lips curled into a subtle smile as he finished speaking. Turning around, he left the ward.

It was as if Ivy Aretha had just experienced a terrible nightmare. Her whole being seemed to plunge into an endless hell, with her consciousness all focused on the moment before the car accident. In that moment, she thought of her father and mother, as well as the accident.

She was only five years old at the time, and while on a trip, she met a handsome big brother. As a result, she refused to go home, wanting to spend more time with him. Children are always mischievous, wanting everything they set their eyes on, and adults inevitably give in to their whims.

Mr. and Mrs. Aretha ultimately agreed to her unreasonable demand to stay one more day before returning home. However, just a day later, fate changed dramatically. Once a pampered mistress, she lost everything overnight!

On the bus the next day, a car accident happened. She watched as her parents died right in front of her, barely holding onto her own life. After the despair, she woke up and forgot everything...

Daddy, mommy, and big brother - all memories were wiped as if they had never existed. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in an orphanage. She didn’t even know who had brought her there.

All she knew was that the dean of the orphanage called her Ivy Aretha. Maybe someone familiar with her had sent her there. Otherwise, how would they know her name?

As Ivy’s consciousness gradually cleared, her pain became increasingly severe and apparent. Her eyes, however, could hardly open. The agony was like overdosing on sleeping pills.
