Love is a Surprise--Chapter 12


'I am sorry,I can't remember...'

As soon as they reach New Jersey,Iris and the Tanaka family proceed to Vincent's university to find out more about their son.To their dismay,they found out that Vincent is involved in an automobile accident.

Mr.Tanaka drove to the hospital that Vincent is admitted to at the maximum legal speed.Mrs.Tanaka was distraught over what happened to her boy,she expected to see him well and happy albeit busy with his studies.Iris can't stop weeping as she can never believe that such evil befall her boy friend.

When they reached the hospital,Iris enquire the hospital staff where is Vincent's ward.Immediately,the whole household rushed to the specific ward.They felt shocked when they see Vincent's puzzled face,as his usual response began with 'Hey,whazzup?' .He is still the same,except that he looks thinner and there is a bandage around his head.

Ignoring his weird expression,Iris introduced herself to him once again as she recognise the symtom of retrograde amnesia.This form of temporal memory loss occurs due to the impact on his head,which makes him unable to remember most of the past events.He smiled and asked her whether is she his sister and are they his family.She denied the former,but nodded to the latter question.

His mum could no longer maintain her composure and broke in to tears.On the other hand, his dad looks thoughtfully at his son and move forward to stroke his back,saying:'I miss you son,thank goodness you are alright.'Valerie asked her elder brother whether can he remember anything for the time being as she is concerned over what happened to him.

Vincent spoke,'Hi everyone,I am a little bit embarassed as I cannot really remember any of you.But then,seeing the way you guys talk to me,I believed that all of you are very dear to me...'pointing to his heart as he said these words.He even hope that he can slowly get all of them registered in his long loss memory.

Tears began to well up in Iris's eyes.Although Vincent might not remember who she is,Iris firmly believes that she is somehow in his heart.He is still as kind and romantic as usual,the action of pointing to his heart clearly shows that he is a very loving guy.

Everything happens for a reason.Thank goodness,Vincent deserted his messenger for a near-death reason,not leaving Iris behind of fall in love with someone else.=)
