Chapter 3: The Orphan With Amnesia
At dawn the next day, Mark took advantage of the fact that Grace had not yet gone to work to tell her the terrible news about Natalie last night.
Crying Grace couldn't believe that everything Mark said was true, the day before she discussed where to go shopping on the weekend, just one night she was separated from her best friend, the impermanence of life made Grace in a trance, thinking that she was dreaming.
Until the cold remains of her best friend were laid out in front of her, Grace realized the reality that her friend had really left her.
Though sad, the wounded are gone, and only the living live on with their will.
Natalie's funeral was held very smoothly, Mark and Grace two people are not bad money, coupled with the relationship between the two families in the weekdays, so simply on behalf of the organization.
After all, Natalie didn't have much family left on her side.
However, when they finished organizing Natalie's funeral, Natalie's distant cousin suddenly appeared out of the blue want to inherit Natalie's property, and also a paper will Mark and Grace sued the court.
Natalie's family's only first legal heir is Natalie's son, John Miller.
It's important to note that while Natalie was killed in the accident, John Miller, who sat in the back, was fine, at least not compared to his mother, who passed away.
John's only problem, besides a broken right arm in a cast, was his head.
The sheer force of the impact had knocked his brain into the top of the seat's backrest, thus impacting his head, which was now a little fuzzy, with a bit of intermittent amnesia.
Natalie's cousin's attempt to steal the inheritance was basically impossible, and after the court's decision, the inheritance still went to Natalie's only son, John.
And before Natalie passed away, she had also whispered about her son in Mark's ear, asking Mark and Grace to take care of him for her.
In fact, with the relationship between the two families, it was appropriate to take care of Natalie's child on her behalf.
Moreover, Mark and Grace have never had any children, plus Natalie's son John is suffering from intermittent memory loss, so it would be appropriate for Mark and Grace to take care of him.
Because of the changes in the family, John, who was in his third year of junior high school, also stopped studying, and after spending some time in the hospital, he was brought back to their home by Grace.
Although it was not the first time he had been to their home.
But nowadays, John still showed a blank expression, it wasn't that he had lost his memory.
Rather, his memory was a bit fuzzy, he only vaguely remembered a few fragments, fortunately, he still remembered Mark and Grace.
For the arrival of John, Grace has already prepared, not only will the spare bedroom at home to pack out, but also the closet, toothbrush and so on a series of small details have paid attention to, to John's room is very cozy, fear that he will recall the bad things.
To be honest, looking at Grace's face full of smiles, Mark seemed to see from Grace's back, that every woman will have a side - motherly love!
Yes, for the congenital inability to give birth to a child Grace, can not be a mother is her lifelong pain, fortunately the family came to John such a son, when Grace's best friend Natalie in the world, but also often joked to let Grace as his son's godmother.
John is also very fond of Grace and often sticks to her side.
Now that his real mom is gone, John and his godmother are living together, which is a disguised fulfillment of Grace's dream of becoming a mother.
Perhaps because of the psychological shadow caused by the car accident, John is afraid of the darkness, both at home and in the hospital.
And also very afraid of being alone, so after he came home, Mark morning commute home will often be able to see wearing pajamas Grace out of John's room to meet Mark, although it is said that John is now a junior student is not small.
But because of the memory loss, now his intelligence is only a three-year-old child level, plus Grace dress still conservative, so Mark did not say anything.
You know, in other families, like John so big children have been separated from their parents to sleep, after all, men and women are different, but John because of the cause of the car accident, sleep alone will always have nightmares, and from the dream woke up crying, so Grace will not be far away from the side of the John's companion.
Luckily, Mark has been working night shifts lately, so John stays with Mark during the day while Grace teaches at the school. He only knows how to play games and watch cartoons just like this kid, which is what Mark wants, he watches while Mark sleeps.
At night when Mark went to work, he exchanged with Grace after work, although the two of them could take care of John twenty-four hours a day, but this also made Mark, who hadn't enjoyed sex for a long time, suffer.
Every night, he looked at Grace's exquisite body after work, but he just couldn't fuck her with impunity, and it was hard to say the least.
It has been more than half a month since John came to their house.
Towards the end of the month, both Mark and Grace had a rare three-day vacation.
Mark, who had been holding his breath for more than half a month, returned home anxiously, and the moment he pushed the door, he saw Grace sitting on the sofa watching TV with John.
Now Grace is wearing a knee-length white nightgown, the nightgown painted in the middle of a cute white rabbit cartoon doll, soft blonde hair gently tied a ponytail, tied casually behind the back, soft bumpy delicate curve because of sitting on the sofa, appearing particularly eye-catching, loose nightgown in the passing of her pair of huge breasts when obviously protruded part of the time, with that With her beautiful face, she instantly made Mark's lust, which he had held back for more than half a month, rush straight to his head, and his lower body immediately stood up to pay tribute to her.
When Mark pushed open the door, Grace's eyes had already looked over, when her line of sight and the fire in Mark's eyes met together, she instantly understood the meaning contained in Mark's eyes, and then her line of sight shifted downward, from Mark's eyes to Mark's "small tent" above.
With a swish, Grace's face immediately turned red.
How could she not understand Mark's current meaning, also know that Mark this half a month to hold hard, she looked at Mark a glance after the gaze without trace fell to the side of the John body.
John was sitting on the sofa watching TV, the cast on his right hand hadn't been removed yet, and he didn't notice Grace's gaze next to him in the slightest.
As a doctor, his intermittent amnesia Mark didn't know when he would recover, it might be the next second, or it might be a few years later.
But looking at all the documented histories of this type of illness, the longest patient was five years later to recover, most are within a year IQ and memory began to soar back, after all, the human brain has always been in a state of progress, even those eighty or ninety years old line into the ground, their brains never stop.
For John's intermittent amnesia, it wouldn't take long for him to recover on his own, which was one of the main reasons why Mark and Grace would take care of him.
Don't look at him now, he is strong and healthy, and his appearance is no different from that of a child of his age, but in reality, his IQ is just like that of a three year old child.
The only thing that Mark and Grace were happy about was that he could call his mom and dad, just like children of his age.
Mark knew that deep down he still had his mom and dad.
But when he called out the words "mom and dad" to Mark and Grace, both Mark and Grace were "shocked", and the string in their hearts seemed to have been plucked invisibly.
No children of the two of them, in fact, from the bottom of the heart is not willing to live the life of a family of Dinks, but Grace's body ...... is really no way!
Now there is a child willing to call them mom and dad, although not the real meaning of mom and dad, there is no blood relationship, but after this half a month or so together, their family of three is still very good to live together.
Grace took extra care of John, who had lost his parents and relatives, as if he were her own child.
John, whose right hand was in a cast, had trouble going to the bathroom, so Grace would often take him there and help him use the restroom.
If ordinary men, may not be able to tolerate their wives like this, but for Mark, John is not only Natalie entrusted to them, but also in Mark's name of the patient, the hospital so many young nurses to help male patients to the toilet are nothing, Grace to help a nine-year-old child intelligence junior high school students to go to the toilet naturally will not be anything, just let Mark did not expect, Mark's mother is not a good boy, but also to help him to go to the toilet. What Mark didn't expect is that Mark's tolerance and generosity will eventually become a real disaster one day. ......
