Chapter 4

At her question, Francis stiffly stares at his sister. He is trying to find anything from Rhianne's expression. The two of them are very close so it is natural for Rhianne to prank her older brother sometimes. But seeing her confused expression, he knew that she Is being serious this time.

Panicking, Francis run outside to call her doctor again. When he comes back to her room, Rhianne saw the teenage boy has a nervous expression on his face. The doctor he brought asked Rhianne some questions again. The doctor asked questions like if she knows her name, age, her relatives, and the details of her accident. This makes her really confused.

'Why has the doctor asked me this question? And why did the teenage boy looking at me with that anxious expression?'

Rhianne tried to think if she met this teenage boy before. As far as she can remember, the first time she met him was when he saved her with the middle-aged woman from the accident. Because Rhianne is deep in her own thoughts, she did not answer the doctor's questions.

They took it as a bad sign. They also noticed the gloomy expression on her face as if she is trying really hard to recall something. Francis and the doctor exchanged looks before leaving Rhianne alone in the room again.

"Did something happen to my sister?" Francis anxiously asked Dr. Calvin, Rhianne's doctor.

"Her life is not in danger anymore. As I've said a while ago, she only needs to have plenty of rest for the next two days." Dr. Calvin calmy replied.

"I already know that! What I am asking is why it seems like she can't remember anything?" Francis whisper shouted at the doctor. "Can't you see her face? She obviously did not know who am I to her!"

During Rhianne's accident, the Cartel siblings decided to play in the pool. Rhianne was still trying to learn how to swim at that time. When he heard his phone ringing on the table, Francis get out of the water and reminded his sister not to play at the deepest part of the pool. A close friend of Francis called him, so he got engrossed in the phone call for a while.

When Francis turned around, he saw Rhianne trying to swim in the deeper part of the water, so he scolded her to get out of the pool. He saw Rhianne sigh and decided to follow his order to her. But when he saw Rhianne getting out of the pool, her foot slipped from the metal stairs. Francis saw that Rhianne's head hit the metal stairs before falling on the pool again. Throwing his phone somewhere, he quickly jumped in the water to save his sister.

Though Rhianne was not bleeding anywhere, it does not mean she was already out of danger. The doctor examined her to check if she has internal bleeding or not. Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal in her body. This eased her family's worry, especially their parent's hearts. But remembering his sister's look as she asked about him, worries and uneasiness bloomed In his heart again.

"Physically, Ms. Cartel is okay. But based on her behavior after she woke up, it seems like she is having a loss of memory."

"What does it mean?!"

"Stop panicking too much, Francis. It is not helping us in this situation." Dr. Calvin said. "But I think Ms. Cartel is suffering from amnesia. You mentioned that Ms. Cartel hit her head hard before falling down the water, right? That is probably the cause of why she can't remember anything. We still need to observe her for a while. Maybe she is just confused for the meantime since Ms. Cartel just woke up."

Dr. Calvin sighed first before he continued.

"If my suspicions are right, I can call my friend in F City to examine Ms. Cartel about her condition. For now, you should calm down first, and don't let your sister see you are anxious."

After some pointers from Dr. Calvin, he left Francis alone in front of Rhianne's room. This is the first time Rhianne woke up after her accident three days ago. Francis thought that everything is now okay, but who would have thought that Rhianne might be suffering from amnesia after waking up?

Francis forced himself to calm down. The teenage boys first sit on a chair before he fished out his phone from his pocket to call their parents. Francis called their mother first to tell her that Rhianne has woken up, but he did not mention about her current situation on the phone. It is better to talk about it in person than through the phone.

While pondering how he will tell their parents about Rhianne's condition, Francis heard the sound of a door opening. Francis saw Rhianne standing at the door. She is supporting her weak body on the IV stand she is holding. She looks pitiful and weak right now.

"Why did you get up from the bed? You should rest more." Francis said in a gentle voice.

The truth is, Rhianne heard the conversation between Francis and Dr. Calvin.

'Sister? But I can't remember having a sibling after my parents died. And the word 'F City' sounds familiar. Most importantly, why they are referring to me as "Ms. Cartel"?'

Rhianne's eyes widened when she remembered where did she hear it. That is the surname of the character who has the same name as her.

Rhianne Cartel.

Seeing his sister's pale face, Francis assisted Rhianne back to the bed. He was trying to be careful around Rhianne. If she was really suffering from amnesia, then she cannot remember anything including him.

'Rhianne is like a lost girl filled with strangers around her now.'

This thought was basically what Rhianne is thinking right now.

'Who are these people? Why are they referring to me as Ms. Cartel? I am not that person! What is happening right now?!'
