Discovering that blooms were vanishing from his wife’s tomb, a prosperous man set up a surveillance camera, and after viewing the recording, the husband was utterly stunned…
Tubes were sticking out of her arm. Feeling nauseous, Linda weakly said. The orderly in the room brought her a basin.
Linda thought she would vomit from dizziness, but it didn’t happen. Then the treatment began. What can you remember, asked the meticulous elderly doctor with a black moustache.
Linda, my name is Linda, but I don’t remember anything else. Where do you live? I don’t remember. Family? I don’t know.
What year is it? Linda looked at the doctor in surprise. I don’t remember anything. She began to panic.
She started breathing deeply. The doctor called a nurse and gave her an injection. Recovery was slow.
She felt very sick. Moreover, she needed documents. The head doctor insisted on contacting the police, but Linda said she would remember everything soon.
She believed she had relatives who would help. It seemed her memory should have returned by now. Sometimes faces, images, her old home and childhood memories would surface in her dreams.
Linda now understood. Her memory was returning in chronological order. The first images she saw in her dreams were of her childhood.
Their dog, her grandmother, her father on a motorcycle. Because of this, Linda decided she had a husband. However, time passed and the memories didn’t return.
I can help if you want, the orderly said to her one day. He visited Linda every day. They just chatted.
At first she didn’t care. Then Linda thought Scott was hitting on her and she felt uncomfortable. He seemed fake, untrustworthy, but time passed and she needed help.
Linda agreed and Scott found her through his acquaintances, took a photo and within a day brought her a print out of her old passport. Linda Johnson, you’re 25, he said. I thought I was younger, Linda smiled disappointedly.
She looked 18 and it seemed to her that she was. Until her memory returned, Linda believed she was a student, had a family, maybe a boyfriend or even a husband and of course friends that her whole life was ahead of her. I have a friend in the local administration.
We’ll go there today. They will quickly restore your documents, Scott suggested. She didn’t want to go anywhere with him, but she needed her passport.
She had to agree. On the way, the guy told her about himself, how he went through a tough breakup, how his ex only wanted money from him and left him because he was just an orderly, couldn’t finish medical school. His teachers were biased against him.
Scott helped restore her documents. Only he deliberately withheld one important fact that Linda had a child. He also lied to her that Linda’s mother had died, although at that time she was still alive.
He said this so she wouldn’t leave. Scott kept confessing his love and eventually convinced her to go with him. That’s how they started living together.
Gradually, Linda got used to him and they began a relationship. Meanwhile, Scott kept rushing her to find a job. It was important to him that they had a lot of money, that Linda earned money.
Sometimes he gave her tasks to put up posters, distribute flyers, or give a massage for money to a neighbor. Linda took on everything since she was already living with him for free. She couldn’t work fully.
Headaches and weakness after a serious injury lingered. Her health was undermined. Six months later, when Linda was already going to job interviews, Scott came up with another idea.
Linda remembered him coming home in a good mood. Today a rumor spread in our hospital that a couple is looking for a surrogate mother. The woman is infertile.
She had everything removed and the husband wants to have children. They made an agreement with our people who promised to carry out the procedure in the hospital. It’s easier than a real IVF.
It’s simple. Just your egg and his material, for example. You carry it, give birth, get a lot of money…
