    "Arnold, how is it?" Asher immediately stepped forward, putting his hand on Arnold''s waist, gently massaging it while taking the scan from his palm.


    Arnold slightly narrowed his fox-like eyes. "Can you understand it?"


    Asher answered honestly, his voice deep. "No, but my dear husband does."


    Arnold pouted slightly and yfully poked Asher''s firm abs with his fingertip.


    He knew Asher was not in the mood for banter. The teasing was merely to coax Arnold,pensating for the exhaustion of the long journey and for the effort he had put into thinking about Justin''s treatment from the moment he arrived in Sentania, without rest.


    "Arnold..." Be looked back at Arnold, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful.


    "Be, I am here with you too." Arnold''s heart tightened as he curled his lips into a warm smile, his gaze bright. "Don''t be afraid. With me here, Justin will definitely wake up."


    Be nodded firmly, but the tears continued to fall uncontrobly from her eyes.


    "Justin''s head wasn''t subjected to any external trauma, and I detected traces of medication in his blood. So, we can basically confirm some kind of medication is controlling his nerves, causing him to remain unconscious."


    Arnold sighed in frustration. "However, I haven''t been able to identify it yet. His blood test results show that thepounds are incrediblyplicated, and this isn''t something you can buy through legal channels. We''ll need topare it against arge database, which will take time.


    "Also, we can''t rule out the possibility of harmful drugs. After all, Christopher is Sentania''s drug lord, and with the wide variety of substances he has at his disposal, it''s not impossible that he forced Justin to take something out of spite. If that''s the case, it''ll be even more difficult to handle."


    Arnold''s expression grew more serious. "Drugs can severely damage the brain''s nervous system. After looking at the scans, I can tell that Justin''s hypothmus and brainstem have already shown signs of minor lesions. While not life-threatening, the consequences are unpredictable."


    Asher''s gaze met Arnold''s flickering eyes, his lips pressed into a tight line.


    Be''s eyes were swollen from crying. "Will he stay in aa forever? Will he wake up?"


    Arnold replied confidently, "With my treatment, I''m 90% sure he will wake up."


    "Arnold... Thank you."


    "But I can''t say for sure what he''ll be like after waking up." Arnold lowered his gaze, seemingly wanting to say more but holding back.


    At this point, Be no longer cared about anything else. All she wanted was for Justin to wake up safely.


    "It''s okay... It''s okay. No matter what he''s like, I''ll still love him. I''ll always love him! No matter the cost, I''m willing to bear it!"


    Although Be was still weak, she refused to leave Justin''s side even for a moment.


    Asher and Arnold could not convince her to rest, so they retreated to the hallway outside the


    room.


    In the corridor, Asher suddenly grabbed Arnold''s clean, slender hand and held it tightly in his palm, his voiceced with worry and anxiety.


    "Arnold, you didn''t tell Be the full truth, did you?"


    Their gazes locked, and a flicker of emotion shed through Arnold''s clear eyes.


    "There''s no one around now. Tell me the truth." Asher leaned in closer, their breaths entangling. "What''s Justin''s real condition? Will he lose his memory?"


    His voice was hoarse and trembling. He had a faint suspicion that brain damage could affect memory, but he did not dare to say it out loud. It would be too cruel for Be to hear.


    They had almost given their lives to find their way back to each other. How could she bear the thought of her lover forgetting her?


    "Memory loss... I can''t say. It''s possible, but not certain." Arnold pondered for a moment. The hypothmus is closely linked to human emotions, and the brainstem ys a crucial role in activating emotions. Since Justin''s hypothmus and brainstem have sustained some damage, there''s a chance it could affect his memory. But there''s also another possibility..."


    Asher''s heart clenched painfully. "What possibility?"


    "He may be apletely different person. A stranger inside Justin''s body."
