Chapter 251 No Guarantees
“What’s wrong with you?” Joan Lowe asked. She looked at Freya’s surprised expression and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
As she spoke, she glanced at the scan. But she couldn’t comprehend it.
As a doctor, Freya understood. There was something the size of a fingernail in Joan Lowe’s memory nerve area. Based on the scan, it wasn’t a tumor. It didn’t have the characteristics or location of a tumor.
Freya asked, “How does your headache feel? Is it intermittent or continuous?”
Joan Lowe thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know. It feels like I’ve forgotten some things, but I can’t remember them. When I try to think hard, I get headaches, sometimes in waves, and sometimes it’s a constant pain. Lately, the frequency of the pain has been particularly high. Medication doesn’t help.”
Freya seemed to have figured something out as she looked at the scan again. She said, “Let’s go back.”
Joan Lowe nodded, and she asked again, “I noticed that your expression changed earlier. Is my condition getting worse?”
Freya shook her head and reassured her, “No, you don’t need to worry. By the way, you mentioned that you have a daughter. Why didn’t your daughter come with you?”
“My daughter is in Country M. We have been living there all along. It’s not because of my illness that Eric came back.” Joan Lowe replied.
Freya asked, “The medical conditions abroad are not inferior to those in China, so why specifically come back here?”
Joan Lowe answered, “Dr. Peters and my husband have been close friends for many years. They have a good relationship. Eric said he wouldn’t trust anyone else, so he came back to find Dr. Peters. Besides, he performed my previous surgery.”
Freya was astonished and asked, “You knew you had surgery?”
Because she saw from the scan that the object in Joan Lowe’s brain was artificially implanted.
Joan Lowe confirmed, “Yes, a few years ago, I had similar symptoms like this time. Dr. Peters performed surgery to remove a tumor, and I got better. But now it has grown again…”
Freya suddenly realized that Joan Lowe knew she had surgery, but she didn’t know that the object in her brain wasn’t a tumor.
Who was deceiving her? Her husband? Why would he deceive her?
Joan Lowe also mentioned that she had forgotten some things. And there was something in her brain, in the memory nerve area. This couldn’t be a coincidence, can it? Was it a conspiracy?
“Joan,” Eric Lowe walked over. He and Sivin Peters had already discussed the surgical plan and came to see Joan Lowe as soon as possible.
He walked briskly. Familiarly, he held Joan Lowe’s arm and gently asked, “Are you tired?”
Joan Lowe replied softly, “Not tired, just getting a CT scan.”
But Eric Lowe said, “Your body is weak, and I worry about you all the time. This surgery is different from the last one, and I…”
“It’s alright, I’ll be fine,” Joan Lowe held his hand.
Freya followed behind, watching them. They really seemed affectionate. At this age, they still loved each other so much. Was it truly deep affection? Or was there something else?
She stared at Joan Lowe’s figure. This love seemed to be more than met the eye. Freya returned to Sivin Peters’ office and handed him the scan.
Sivin took a look. Then he took a deep breath.
Freya asked, “Dr. Peters, can I ask you something?”
Sivin glanced at her and said in a certain tone, “You’ve seen the scan?”
Freya admitted directly, “Yes.”
“I can tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone,” Sivin sat down in his chair.
Freya fell silent. She couldn’t promise that. If it turned out that Joan Lowe was Elijah’s mother. Then she had to tell Elijah. And right now, Elijah might be investigating this. So, she couldn’t promise.
“Hmm?” Sivin looked at her.
“I feel like Joan Lowe has a secret…”
“What does her secret have to do with you?” Sivin didn’t like Freya’s attitude at this moment. The reason he invited Freya to be involved was because he thought she was someone who could keep a secret. But now her attitude clearly showed that she couldn’t.
Freya hesitated for a moment and said, “Dr. Peters, you don’t know, but I’m already married. My husband’s name is Elijah Silverton, and that lady just now, she looks very similar to my husband’s mother…”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Suddenly, the door to Sivin’ office was forcefully pushed open.
“What did you say?!!”
The person who came obviously heard what Freya said.
