As expected, Dr. Harris stroked his beard in silence after hearing this. In the end, it was Mrs. Thompson who couldn’t help but press further: “Dr. Harris, what exactly is wrong with 节儿? Why doesn’t he even recognize us anymore?”

“Judging from the pulse, Mr. William Thompson’s body is a bit weak, but there’s nothing seriously wrong. However, based on Mr. William Thompson’s behavior just now, it’s very likely he’s suffering from soul-loss syndrome!” Dr. Harris pondered for a moment before finally answering.

“My poor child…” Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson cried out in grief again, reaching out to hug William Thompson once more.

But unexpectedly, Dr. Harris spoke again: “Mrs. Thompson, don’t panic. In fact, for Mr. William Thompson, this soul-loss syndrome might actually be a good thing!”

“How could it be a good thing?” Agent Thompson asked anxiously.

“Mr. William Thompson’s previous madness was extremely severe. Now, although he’s developed soul-loss syndrome and lost some memories, it’s actually a good thing. Haven’t you noticed? Since waking up, Mr. William Thompson speaks very coherently and behaves calmly—there’s no trace of his former madness…”

Dr. Harris smiled as he explained William Thompson’s condition to The Thompson Couple. Although William Thompson knew he was making things up, he concealed his changes perfectly, so of course he wouldn’t expose him.

Moreover, from the conversation between Dr. Harris and The Thompson Couple, William Thompson also gathered some information: his predecessor had actually suffered from madness. What is madness? Basically, it means being insane. But it seemed that this William Thompson wasn’t born mad, but was driven mad by some incident.

“A madman—even if he recovers, it’s understandable if he occasionally does something abnormal, right?” William Thompson mused to himself. For others, having been insane was certainly not a good thing, but for him, it was the perfect disguise.

“…Agent Thompson, I’ll prescribe a few doses of calming medicine for Mr. William Thompson. During this period, you should pay close attention to his condition. If there are any problems, contact me for a follow-up visit!” Finally, Dr. Harris took out paper and pen from his medicine box, wrote the prescription, and handed it to The Thompson Couple.

“Thank you, Dr. Harris. Let me see you out!” Agent Thompson accepted the prescription politely and personally escorted him out.

At this moment, Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, came to William Thompson again, grabbed her son’s hand, and said, “My child, do you really not recognize your mother?”

William Thompson once again shook his head blankly.

This time, Mrs. Thompson’s tears flowed even more, like a spring. After all, the son she had raised herself suddenly didn’t recognize her anymore. As a mother, she felt both heartbroken and lost.

“Aunt, don’t be sad. Didn’t Dr. Harris just say that it’s actually a good thing that cousin has soul-loss syndrome? After all, it’s much better than being mad like before!” Edward's Cousin, seeing Mrs. Thompson’s state, also tried to comfort her.

“Um…” At this moment, William Thompson hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn’t help but ask, “Was I really mad before? Why did I go mad?”

Hearing David Thompson suddenly take the initiative to ask, and about his previous madness at that, both Mrs. Thompson and Edward's Cousin were stunned. The aunt and nephew exchanged glances, and Mrs. Thompson looked troubled, as if there was some hidden story behind it.

“Aunt, even though cousin has lost his memory, there are some things he should know. Why don’t you let me talk to him alone?” At this point, Edward's Cousin fell silent for a moment before speaking up.

Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally sighed, “Fine, there’s no way to hide this kind of thing. Yi’er, you and Jie’er are the closest, and it’s easier for you brothers to talk.”

Saying this, Mrs. Thompson turned to William Thompson again and said gently, “Jie’er, Yi’er is your cousin. You two grew up together and are as close as brothers. He’s also one of the people you trust most in this world.”

William Thompson nodded after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, “Thank you… thank you, Mother!”

Hearing her son finally call her “Mother” after waking up, Mrs. Thompson couldn’t hold back her tears again. She hugged William Thompson and cried for a long while before reluctantly leaving the room.

As soon as Mrs. Thompson left, Edward's Cousin immediately asked seriously, “Cousin, tell me honestly, have you really lost your memory?”

“I really can’t remember anything. And with something this serious, how could I joke about it?” William Thompson replied with a bitter smile. Judging from his cousin’s reaction, the previous William Thompson didn’t seem to be a well-behaved child.

Seeing that William Thompson didn’t seem to be lying, Edward's Cousin finally relaxed. He knew his cousin’s temperament well. Although William Thompson’s amnesia hadn’t shown any flaws, he still had some doubts. Now, he was finally reassured.

“Cousin, could you introduce yourself first, and then tell me about my family?” William Thompson asked with another bitter smile. It was truly strange to have to ask others about his own background.

“My name is Edward Clark, I’m your cousin. Your mother is my aunt, your father is Richard Thompson, he works in the Ministry of Works. Although his rank isn’t high, he…”

Edward Clark had just started introducing William Thompson’s father when William Thompson suddenly thought of a very important question and couldn’t help but interrupt, “Cousin, who is the current emperor?”
