Forgotten Memories | JENSOO [18+]

Chapter Forty-One: The Pain

Doctor Han stood and walked over to Jisoo. Gently pulling her arm to bring her back to the chair.

Once Jisoo was seated, Doctor Han said, "It's okay to be in love with your wife, Mrs. Kim."

Jisoo lifted her head so she could look at her. "But, she's not the woman she was before the accident. The one demanding a divorce. She's different. She hasn't pushed me away, locked me out, anything like she was before. Hell, it's like she actually wants me around!"

Doctor Han smiled. "Mrs. Kim, that's who Miss Jennie is."

Jisoo laughed. "Are you sure we're talking about the same person here? Because, I'm sorry, the one I knew before the accident was a bitch."

"And, she knew that."

"So, why Lalisa?" Jisoo asked. "For the life of me I can't figure that one out."

"Mrs. Kim, I don't believe Miss Jennie ever had an affair with Miss Lalisa. I believe Miss Lalisa gave Miss Jennie what she truly wanted from you."

"But I told her I loved her all the time. I tried to show affection. All I'd get in return was rejection."

Doctor Han took in a breath and let it out. "Mrs. Kim, for all intents and purposes, the Jennie you see today is real."

"And she remembered Lalisa!"

"Mrs. Kim, I can see you're angry with this. But I need you to relax. I need you to do something very difficult."

"Walk away?"

"No. I need you to do what Miss Jennie's doing."

Jisoo had no idea what she was talking about. This whole meeting was confusing.

Doctor Han looked to Doctor Park. "Doctor Park is much more educated in the area of ​​amnesia than I am. I'm going to have him explain this to you."

Jisoo looked to Doctor Park.

"Mrs. Kim, Miss Jennie is relying on things she hasn't in the past. Without her memories, she can't justify things within her mind. A challenge as you can imagine."

"So, what am I supposed to do?"

"Without her memories, she has to rely on other senses to come to terms with things and people around her."

"Doc, I'm not following."

"When she first met you on the patio, she relied on a gut instinct that she could trust you. Her mind didn't remember you, but something else did. When she saw Jinwoo that first time, she didn't recognize him, yet knew she loved the child. Her child. No amount of telling Miss Jennie how things were with you or Jinwoo or her family could be reconciled within. She went on intuition."

"I'm still not getting this."

Doctor Park now stood, walked around and sat on the corner of his desk before Jisoo.

"Quite simply, Mrs. Kim. Miss Jennie can't reconcile an affair with Miss Lalisa."

"But, I saw them."

"We'll get back to that in a minute," Doctor Park changed subject. "In addition to going on gut instinct or intuition, Miss Jennie can only go by you."

"Me?"

"Yes. I do have to say how she heard the news was stressful and should never have been done in that manner."

When Jisoo went to speak, Doctor Park raised his hand in a gesture of silence.

"I understand you were upset. I'm saying that because of the intensity of the news, she can only assume it to be true. Because she trusts you."
