Chapter 492 Alone

Although Doris had always been a strong woman, this time, the seething pain had seemed to evaporate all the fierceness in her. Her body felt like it was being torn apart, it was just unbearable.

"Just a little more! We'll be in the operating room soon. You'd better endure the pain; otherwise, you'll have a C-section," Nancy comforted, hoping that her friend could endure much longer.

With a distressed look, Doris eyed her and asked, "Will you go with me?"

"You don't need me there. Jay will be with you." A reassuring smile crept on Nancy's lips as she caressed Doris' hair.

"What?! But I don't want him to be there." Obviously, Doris felt utterly embarrassed to give birth while a man watched her.

She had seen videos of birthing women, and they were really awkward and perplexing.

"You'll be more relieved to have him by your side. Don't worry."

As soon as Nancy finished her words, the car halted to a stop, signaling that they had finally arrived at the hospital.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Although Jay agreed, deep down, he was slightly worried and scared. He didn't know if he could bear to see Doris wincing in so much pain.

However, as the father of their yet-to-be-born child, he should overcome his anxiety and accompany his wife in the delivery room.

"Alright. Let's go." Doris nodded and struggled to get out of the car.

With utmost urgency, the nurses pushed her through the corri

uard. She obviously didn't expect such news to arrive in this situation. Turning her head back to Doris, she urgently queried, "Doris! You lost your memory? How could that happen?!"

"No..." Doris firmly denied as she gathered her palms into a fist. No one was even more aggrieved at this point than Doris herself. And she knew that Nancy would not understand her situation. After all, the latter had never been in this position before.

"She just lost parts of her memory for a while. She might be able to recover them, but it would require some trigger or stimulation... Sadly, I can't do either. Nancy, think about what happened to her back in the university, such as being robbed of money or something more cruel."

Jay's unintentional joke really reminded Nancy of one particular incident.

After briefly recalling it in detail, she began speaking. "Doris, do you remember that time when we were in sophomore year? It was a snowy winter night. You were..."

That winter was particularly cold. It snowed heavily for days and nights, filling the pavements with thick layers of freezing shaved ice.

At that time, Doris was so obsessed with playing the guitar and even joined a music club.

While Nancy, who was so into painting, enlisted in an arts group.

One day, Doris braved the cold weather and stormed back to their dormitory right after class. It was an unfortunate day that would change her forever.
