Nigel:

~Flashback~

A few years ago......

"How's she?" While standing with my arms crossed on my chest I asked the doctor incharge but my eyes were trained on the teribble looking woman who's laying there peacefully. The gruesome injuries that covering all over her body in and out were sickening, what kind of a fucking animal did this to her?

"If we're 5 minutes late, we could've lost her." My eyes didn't even move from the unconscious woman. I don't know how tense I'm right now. "There's something I need to tell you Mr Stevens."

"I'm listening."

I heard the doctor let out a deep sigh before continuing, "this woman was already in a worse condition way before your car knocked her down. What I'm trying to say is, the bruises and injuries in and on her body isn't solely coming from the accident, mostly came from something else, some severe injuries were the old ones. So I think it's best for you to lodge a police report so they could investigate it more." Her face looks really awful with blue black bruises around it making it so hard to recognize her. Those scratches on her arms wasn't something usual at all.

"I'm a prosecutor, so don't worry, I'll take care of this matter," I turned to look at the doctor, "and also, I'm going to take her back to Canada with me."

So I took her out from the States on the very same day without delaying any longer. I made the doctors and staffs involved close their mouth about this and make it posibble to transfer a comatose state patient in just one day, then I put her into the care of the best hospital here in Ontario.

I just came out from her new room when I heard a commotion not that far from where I was standing and I know immediately it's my sister.

"What the hell did I just heard?! You hit someone?! I told you to be careful Nigel!" She yelled while angrily stomping her way towards me.

She then stopped to catch her breath. "Calm down, the girl is safe." I said to her.

"Where is she? Did you contact her family?"

"She's inside." I turned my head to the side gesturing her whereabout to my sister.

"What about her family? Why would you bring her to Canada? What if her family is looking for her?"

"I'll take care of it."

~~~~~~~~

I decided not to search or contact any of her family and although my sister doesn't agree with my action but she's the one who keeps on visiting the woman every single day for the past 5 months. As for me, I could only watch her from afar, waiting patiently for the day she would regain her consciousness back. Fiona's routine keeps going on until one day I got a call from her telling me that the woman finally woke up.

I quickly went to the hospital where I met my sister who's waiting nervously outside of the room. She then spotted my presence walking towards her, "Nigel, she- I mean the girl- she-" She instantly grabbed both of my arms.

"She what Fiona?" I become anxious when she's panicking. Is the girl in danger?

"She... she lost her memory." That was not what I expected at all.
