บททั้งหมดของ When the Memory Fades: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

When I got back from the hospital, the first thing I did was call my aunt. She lived far away in another country."Aunt, I've made up my mind. I'm coming to see you. Can you help me find a hospital that specializes in brain surgery? I need an operation."The moment Aunt heard I was going to have surgery, her voice thickened with worry, and she hurried to ask what had happened.I tried to laugh it off, even though I felt weak. "It's no big deal, just a little tumor in my brain.""Just a little tumor? Summer, that's serious! Do the Sullivan brothers know about this?"The thought of them made my heart hurt so much that I started to cry."Never mind, Aunt. They don't need to know."There was silence on the line for a bit before Aunt let out a sigh. "Okay, I've got your plane ticket for two weeks from now. Come quickly and let me take care of you."I could not stop crying. Aunt was the only person who really cared about me now.After I hung up, a cheerful voice came from the door.

Once Nelson and Jasper finished yelling, they quickly hurried back to Yvonne.I grabbed the medical report, my hands shaking as I read it.It said Yvonne had been abused for a long time and was malnourished, depressed, and had delusions that people were out to get her.I read it and ran out the door, desperate to clear my name.The doctors had just left the house when I saw the three brothers huddled around Yvonne in the living room.Ethan was carefully peeling an apple for her while Nelson gently held her shoulders, whispering kind words to soothe her.Jasper caught sight of me. His voice was hateful. "Why are you here? Are you checking if we're gone so you can pick on Yvonne again?"Tears welled up in Yvonne's eyes as she looked at me. "Summer, I'm really sorry."The brothers were quick to comfort her, dabbing at her tears with tissues.Seeing how much they cared for her, I did not feel like arguing anymore.I went back to my room in silence, took down the drawing of the fo

I bit down hard, my eyes glued to the medicine in Yvonne’s hand."Yvonne, give it back to me!"She seemed to notice how much pain I was in. She opened the bottle, took out two pills, stepped back, and taunted, "Summer, if you crawl over here and beg, I might just give them back to you."Not many people would be able to put up with that kind of teasing, especially when my head was throbbing with as much pain as it was.Suddenly, I was so angry I could not think straight. I let out a roar and lunged for the medicine.However, Yvonne tossed all my medicine into the garden fountain as she stepped back. I could not tell if it was an accident or deliberate.Yvonne looked sorry for a moment, but her eyes were still full of challenge.Just as I was about to react, I was shoved hard and slapped across the face.My mind went completely blank.Ethan was furious. "Summer, have you lost your mind? How could you bully Yvonne when we weren't here?"Nelson and Jasper hurried to Yvonne, check

Nelson's face turned serious, and he stood up and left quickly.Ethan and Jasper knew they had to hurry to the airport.They needed to be with Summer to help her go through this tough time and make things right with her!…I woke up on the third day after my surgery. My aunt was right there with me, dressed in a sterile gown. When she saw me open my eyes, she started crying. "Summer, are you in pain?"I smiled a little. "If I’m still alive, then it can’t be that bad!”Aunt laughed and said, "Summer, you're going to live a very long life!"The surgery had gone really well.The doctor said I might lose some memories, but I still recognized everyone I had seen so far.Even though I sometimes felt like I had forgotten some things, I did not really want to remember them anyway. In fact, I thought forgetting might make me even happier.Once I was out of danger, I moved to a regular room. With Aunt looking after me, I started feeling better really fast.I was getting bored of stayi

Yvonne dashed up to the brothers, her eyes wide with worry. "Where have you guys been all this time?"I've been so worried! Is Summer back? Where is she?"I know she's mad because you guys are nice to me, but leaving home without even a goodbye is just not cool. Still, please don't be mad at her."The three brothers did not look as upset as they usually would. Instead, they seemed kind of mad.Yvonne felt nervous and tried to look extra sweet. "But you know, Summer's been sick, so I guess it's okay if she's a bit grumpy."Ethan's face turned stormy, and he grabbed Yvonne's collar roughly. "How did you find out Summer's sick? What did you do to her?"Yvonne's face twisted for a second before she tried to look sad and sorry again. "Ethan, I only just found out myself. A friend of mine from school is working at the hospital, and she told me Summer's got a tumor in her head!"The brothers looked at each other, and without a word, Nelson quickly booked an extra plane ticket.Jasper
