At Kelly's house.
She's sitting in front of her computer. On a video call with Mandy.

Mandy : What a devil mind. My best friend is back. Did you just call the ambulance?
Kelly : Yes. She passed out after that, then I left the house. And when I got home, I called the ambulance.
Mandy : Well done, dear. What will you do now?

The phone rang.

Kelly : Hold on ! My aunt is calling!
Kelly : Hi, Aunty! ... Yes yes I'm home ... What? ... When? ... no I wouldn't wait until morning! Which hospital? ... in Las Vegas ? ... Okay, I'm coming right now!

She hung up.

Kelly : Mandy ! I have to go !
Mandy : What's wrong ?
Kelly : Josh had an accident.
Mandy : Okay okay. Call me later.
Kelly : All right, honey. Bye.

Kelly gets in her car.
Arrived at Las Vegas, she parks her car in front of the hospital.
She enters Josh's room. She was shocked. Josh is sleeping.
Kelly sits next to him, then touches his face.

Kelly : Omg !! What happened to you ?

Josh opens his eyes.

Josh : Kelly?
Kelly : How do you feel ?
Josh : I'm feeling good.

Wendy enters.

Wendy : Sweetheart, did you come?

Kelly hugs her aunt.

Josh : Thanks for coming, Kelly.
Kelly : Don't say that. You are precious to me...
Wendy : Honey, can I talk to you outside for 5 minutes?
Kelly : Of course, Aunty.

The two leave the room.

Wendy : Josh has partially lost his memory.
Kelly : What? What do you want to say ? Impossible!
Wendy : He forgot all this year.

Kelly remains silent, then.

Kelly : So he forgot about Jennifer.
Wendy : Absolutely, in both cases this is both good and bad news.
Kelly : Anyway, I'll always be by his side.
Wendy : Kelly ... I don't want my son to remember her.
Kelly : I'll do my best.
Wendy : We will come tomorrow morning.
Kelly : All right, Aunty. Don't worry. I'll sleep next to him tonight.
Wendy : No dear. Come with us. We will come together.
Kelly : I have to stay close to him.
Wendy : As you wish, darling.

Kelly leaves the hospital to light a cigarette. She calls Mandy on the phone.

Mandy : What's up ?
Kelly : Mandy !! I'm the happiest girl! This is a miracle!
Mandy : What happened ?
Kelly : Josh lost his memory. All this year is forgotten. So he completely forgot who Jennifer is.
Mandy : Wow!!
Kelly : I'm so happy !! I feel the luckiest girl!

The next morning, Josh wakes up. He finds Kelly sleeping next to him. He smiled.

In Jennifer's room.
She doesn't want to eat or drink.

Diego : Jennifer, you need to eat something.

Jennifer doesn't say a word. She's deep in thought.

Carla : I think she needs a psychiatrist.

Diego looks at Carla with sadness.

Diego : Anyway, I have to visit my aunt, in Los Angeles.
Carla : Okay, I'll stay here.
Diego : Thank you.

The nurse enters Josh's room.
Kelly opens her eyes.

The nurse : Good morning.
Josh : Good morning.
The nurse : I brought you breakfast.
Josh : Thank you so much.
Kelly : I'll take care of it. Thanks. You can go.

The nurse leaves the room.

Kelly : How are you today ?
Josh : I feel good. But I guess you didn't sleep well; the sofa isn't too comfortable.
Kelly : The most important thing is that I see you're getting well.
Josh : Glad to see you here, Kelly.

Kelly smiled slightly.

Kelly : Come on ! You have to eat everything!

The doctor enters Jennifer's room. He finds Carla sitting on the sofa. Jennifer's still silent.

The doctor : Good morning, Miss Moore. How are you today?

Jennifer didn't say a word.

The doctor : Miss Moore ? Do you hear me ?

A few minutes later the doctor leaves the room. Carla is following him.

Carla : Doctor, I don't know why she doesn't talk anymore. She doesn't want to eat or drink.
The doctor : It's a shock. Shocked by what happened yesterday. This is normal. In short, she only needs two days of rest for her body. She has only superficial wounds. Then she needs a psychiatrist.
Carla : I understand. Thank you very much, doctor.

Josh's family is at home.

Jason : Wendy, you think what you're doing is right.
Wendy : About what ?
Jason : I think Josh must know that he loves a girl named Jennifer.
Wendy : Are you serious? This is sign from god, Josh had to forget Jennifer. She's the wrong person.
Jason : She loved him.
Wendy : It's not love, it's greed.
Jason : But...
Wendy : There is no "but". I've already decided. He will marry Kelly.
Jason : Your niece ?
Wendy : Yes, she is a good girl, she's my niece. Besides, Kelly loves Josh.
Jason : She loves him like a brother.
Wendy : No. I know what love means, her eyes don't lie.
