"Our preliminary assessment is that his memory confusion doesn't appear to be physical or neurological. Psychological trauma is the more likely cause. He will need to see a mental health specialist, but he's still physically weak, so his recovery should come first. If his memory hasn't improved once he's stronger, we can begin psychological treatment."
Outside the hospital room, Wesley and Chloe fell silent after hearing the specialist's assessment.
In his confused memories, Chloe had taken Madeline's place as his mother.
That meant he subconsciously saw her as safe and trustworthy.
He hadn't mentioned Madeline since waking. Even when Chloe asked if he remembered how he got hurt, he only shook his head, clearly confused.
In other words, Colton forgot who did what to him altogether.
