Everyone was stunned.
Ferne was too dumbstruck to keep his mouth closed. He looked from Emily to Noah. He didn't believe that such a dramatic thing could just happen to him.
Did he lose his memory?
Could it be any more ridiculous?
Who the hell is the director? They want to give him a big punch.
"He doesn't remember us? You mean, he is Vincent..." Janessa asked.
Pablo put a finger to his lips as a sign for silence, "Here, his name is Mr. Kason."
"Why?" Ferne asked.
"Because he was born here," Pablo said calmly.
"..." Ferne didn't know what to say.
"???" Jaquan was shocked.
"?" Armando was also puzzled.
The guy they had grown up with for years suddenly didn't know them. Then they were told by another person that this guy belonged to another place. There was no Wi-Fi in that place, no convenience store, no bus, no south railway station square, and no high-rise buildings and traffic lights. There was only a maze of courtyards in which lived patriarchs or elders.
As well as Mr. Kason, who the patriarch had just mentioned.
Everyone was stunned, and then they all sat in silence, digesting the messages they had received over the past two days.
Emily said in a low voice, "I'm hungry."
Donna hurriedly took her to look for food, while the others remained sitting outside.
Kamron found a chair for the patriarch, and sat by his side himself. Tom brought the pears to them. These were the pears from the pear trees in the courtyard, which were watery and sweet. They all had eaten before, but at the moment, no one was in the mood to enjoy the fruit. Everyone was immersed in the conflicting feelings of Vincent being alive but losing his memory.
Suddenly Janessa stood up and said, "Don't think too much about it. Weren't you hoping he'd be fine? Now that he is, he's still alive. It's just that he doesn't remember you all. What does it matter? It's better than a box of ashes, right?"
Janessa occasionally tended to have a sharp tongue, but when she said this, Ferne felt a lot better. He patted his legs and agreed, "Right! It's just amnesia! Maybe he will remember us in a few days!"
"I can call the doctor to come here. My friend works at the hospital. He probably knows a lot of experts in this field. I'll call him later." Jaquan added.
Armando nodded.
Kamron was telling Pablo that he was going back tomorrow. Before Pablo could answer, he heard Jaquan's words. He immediately turned and said, "He won't go out unless you bring all the doctors and equipment here, but there's no electricity."
"How do you live without electricity?" Ferne felt extremely shocked.
"He's been calling you on his cell phone. How is there no electricity here?" Noah asked.
That 'he' referred to Kamron, but at this moment, Hang Cheng could not speak with a pear in his mouth.
"The phone has 10 charging panels, and there's a place to charge at the dock, but no electricity in here." Pablo put a piece of pear into his mouth. "Our people are afraid of thunder and electricity. The proposal of electric power development has been rejected every time on the council, there is no way... I have to follow their will."
Although everyone present was surprised by this statement, they accepted it anyway.
Knowing that there's no electricity, Jaquan lowered his head to think of other ways, and Ferne also joined him.
"I will arrange people to send you away tomorrow afternoon," Pablo said to Kamron as he stood up.
Then he turned to the others and asked, "Any other questions?"
Ferne glanced at Noah, then looked at Jaquan and Armando. Except for Noah, the other three looked at each other for a moment and said with one voice, "We are not leaving!"
Pablo nodded. He seemed to have expected that they would make such a decision. He put another piece of pear into his mouth and said in the direction of Kamron, "Then you won't be able to leave either."
"..."
"???"
"!!!"(Kamron lost for words)
After a few seconds, Kamron let out a miserable yelling that echoed through the house.
Even Tom couldn't help but cover his ears, looking at him with a confused expression.
