Chapter 1607:

"Mom, what am I supposed to do?"

Nicole understood that her mother would not give her an answer, but she could not suppress her desperate plea. Just as she did in childhood, when faced with insurmountable challenges, she sought comfort from her parents.

They were his invincible protectors, capable of remedying any trouble.

However, Dora still did not respond.

Nicole cried for a while before tenderly smoothing Dora's hair and adjusting her clothes.

Although her heart still felt empty, the emptiness was less acute than before.

"Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to visit you soon."

Nicole stood up, a familiar routine falling into place while Dora remained silent, as always.

Nicole headed toward the exit, her steps measured and deliberate.

Just as she reached the threshold, a weak, fragmented voice reached her ears from behind. “Flower…”

Nicole froze. She couldn't believe what she had heard and quickly turned to look at her mother, who was lying on the bed.

Dora slowly raised her hand, pointing to the small flowers that adorned the windowsill. With a halting, halting cadence, she murmured: “Flower… The flower has bloomed…”

Nicole was in disbelief. She ran back to Dora's side and grabbed her by the shoulders urgently. “Mom! Mom! Can you talk now? Do you recognize me?”

Nicole's sudden movements startled Dora, who was forced to turn her head and stare at Nicole. With deliberate slowness, she scanned Nicole's face before gradually lowering her gaze.

Nicole froze as Dora raised her hand to Nicole's abdomen, making gentle contact in a clumsy but deliberate gesture. She stammered, “Flower… The little flower has bloomed…”

Nicole was stunned. Adorning her simple gray shirt was a small white chrysanthemum printed on a button.

Dora's finger pointed directly at Nicole's miniature chrysanthemum button as she repeated, "The little flower..."

Nicole's exclamation of surprise attracted the attention of a passing nurse, who entered the room and was stunned to see Dora speaking a few words.

The nurse quickly called the doctor from the sanatorium to examine her.

Nicole waited patiently outside while the doctor performed the examination. Once the examination was completed, the doctor approached Nicole and gave her his assessment: “Following our evaluation, your mother still has no memory of past events.

His recent speech may have been casual. However, it is a positive sign. Improved communication and expression of basic needs mean significant progress.

As for memory recovery, insisting too much can overload the patient. Too many memories could overwhelm the brain, exacerbating confusion.

The doctor's words resonated with a compassionate perspective, treating Dora as he would treat his own family member.

For the elderly, simplicity and contentment often triumph over extensive collection. Memories, though precious, could sometimes weigh heavily.

Nicole was not disappointed by the results of the test. On the contrary, she was filled with gratitude. Her feelings coincided with those of the doctor. In her opinion, this was the optimal outcome for her broken family.
