Who are you?
Marco turned to the doctor who was examining Letta, this time Marco was by Letta’s side. The doctor eventually turned to look at Marco.
“Her condition is still weak, but everything is fine now. She just needs some therapy to restore her bodily functions,” the doctor said, making Marco nod. The doctor then allowed Marco to approach Letta. Letta remained silent. Marco also didn’t know what to do to welcome Letta back into his life for the first time.
Several minutes passed, and Marco finally tried to muster the courage to speak, his voice sounding hoarse. “You’re back,” Marco said, with his heavy voice, which made Letta just look at him silently. Even for a few seconds, Letta didn’t respond. Marco looked at the doctor.
“Is her speech function also impaired?” Marco asked, making the doctor fall silent as if thinking.
“In some cases, that happens if they have been in a coma for a long time,” the doctor said, making Marco look back at Letta.
“Letta, can you hear me?” Marco asked again, trying to reach out his hand, stroking Letta’s face. However, his hand stopped as if Letta didn’t want to be touched.
“I have been worried about you,” Marco finally said, his hand hanging near Letta’s face, which could only clench her hand. The doctor was also puzzled by Letta’s silence. There were also two nurses there observing Letta’s condition after coming out of the coma.
“Who are you?” Letta suddenly asked weakly, making Marco fall silent. Was she asking about the doctor and nurses behind him? Marco looked back at the doctor.
“Who are you? Why are you worried about me?” Letta asked, and it was certainly directed at Marco. Marco fell silent, it seemed that this time Letta truly did not recognize him.
“You don’t know me?” Marco asked very cautiously, making Letta seem to examine Marco’s face. Then, Letta weakly shook her head, making Marco more certain that Letta truly did not recognize him.
“So, what actually happened to my wife after she went through the terrible coma for these past few months? Can she also not recognize me?” Marco asked again, making the doctor finally choose to nod.
“It seems we need to conduct a comprehensive examination of her body because some patients experience temporary amnesia due to their brain’s incomplete memory consolidation. Miss Letta seems to slowly forget it during the coma she went through these past few months, so we need to make sure,” the doctor said, making Marco look back at Letta, who was looking around. Letta truly seemed like someone reborn. She seemed to know nothing, even looking at him with a strange gaze.
Marco finally chose to let the doctor examine Letta. He then turned to Pedro.
“I’ll deal with Jacob’s problem after getting Letta’s health report. I can’t leave Letta in this condition. This is far more serious than the terror that boy is doing,” Marco said, making Pedro nod.
“Alright, for now, I’ll just monitor her,” Pedro said, making Marco nod.
“Yes, just think of it as her playing around. Let her have fun first before she gets the punishment I’ll give her directly,” Marco said, making Pedro nod and leave his master.
Marco waited in the hospital corridor for the report that the doctor would provide. Finally, the doctor came out with some test results he had conducted. It turned out that Letta had problems with her memory. Her brain’s function to organize the memories of her life was disrupted when she went into a coma. However, the doctor said that gradually, with some therapy and reintroduction to her past life, Letta’s memory would become clear again.
The doctor allowed Marco to return to accompany Letta. Marco slowly looked at Letta, who was still lying there with her eyes blinking weakly. Finally, Letta turned to him when Marco pulled a chair and sat beside her.
“The doctor said your condition is still weak and you need to undergo some therapy to restore your bodily functions,” Marco said, making Letta fall silent.
“What happened to me?” Letta asked, making Marco fall silent. Letta truly looked at him like a stranger, as if she had never known Marco before.
“But before that, who am I, and who are you?” Letta asked, making Marco clench his fist. Marco didn’t know what kind of explanation he should give to Letta.
“You’re my wife,” Marco answered, making Letta fall silent. However, the next moment, Marco truly felt stunned when Letta gave him a small smile. For Marco, it was something more precious than anything.
“Are you my husband?” Letta asked, making Marco nod.
“So, what happened to me?” Letta asked again, making Marco once again have to choose his words to explain everything that had happened to her.
“There was an accident that required you to undergo surgery, and that surgery resulted in you being in a coma for a while,” Marco explained, able to provide only such a simple explanation for Letta. Letta weakly nodded her head.
“How long was I unconscious?” Letta asked again, making Marco answer the question that seemed to come out automatically from his mind.
“About 4 months,” Marco said, making Letta smile again. “Thank goodness it wasn’t longer than that,” Letta said, making Marco finally dare to reach out his hand and tightly hold Letta’s hand. Although her grip was weak, Marco could feel Letta reciprocating, making Marco stunned as he looked at their intertwined palms.
“You must have been very lonely and tired because of my condition, right?” Letta asked, making Marco shake his head.
“Not at all. What I felt was worry and concern for you because I was afraid you wouldn’t open your eyes again,” Marco said, making Letta fall silent as if she was examining her husband’s face for the first time.
However, when Letta was about to speak again, Marco shook his head. “Don’t ask too many questions right now. Slowly, I will tell you everything better. For now, you rest again, and I will continue to accompany you here,” Marco said, making Letta shake her head.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“What if I fall asleep and can’t open my eyes again?” Letta asked, making Marco sigh deeply.
“That won’t happen. God has punished me enough for the past few months, and this time I won’t let it happen again,” Marco said, making Letta only smile faintly.
“But not everything can be prevented just like that, right? What if it really happens?” Letta said.
“If that happens, I won’t change. Just like before, I will stay by your side, accompany you forever, until you open your eyes again. I won’t move from here even an inch,” Marco said, making Letta nod her head.
Marco then reached out and gently stroked his wife’s head. “Rest,” Marco said, finally making Letta slowly close her eyes again. Although Marco felt the same fear, he was confident that Letta would always return to him, no matter what happened.
