Chapter 360 - Alan For Jack
The UAL students finally left the hotel to continue with their work after breakfast. Anne was very excited today after days not holding her camera. All the students work in their respective teams, even Gabriella also seemed very enthusiastic about hunting people who were passing by on the roadside. Even though she was known to be very annoying, she was still very responsible with her duties. Having a dream as a top fashion designer made her always eager to do all the assignments given by Professor Gilbert, especially research assignments abroad like this.
"Do you want to take pictures too?" asked Anne quietly to Linda, who was taking her personal camera out of her bag.
"Of course, I don't want to lose to that annoying Ella," answered Linda excitedly with her eyes drawn to the front looking at Gabriella and her friends.
Anne smiled hearing Linda's words. She knew that her best friend was still very upset with Gabriella who often spoke without thinking twice. But on the other hand, Anne was happy to see Linda trying hard, doing a job that Linda really hated. When Anne started working not far from where she was, there were already about five men who were Alan's men staring at her without blinking. They were planning the best plan to take Anne to Alan's private villa, a place that was often used to party Alan with beautiful girls or his friends.

< Clarke Medical Center >
The hospital founded by the Clarke family this morning looked very busy, because the owner, Mr. David Clarke, came for his regular checkup every month. As an influential person, Mr. David Clarke only wanted to be examined by his personal doctor who he assigned to the family hospital and because the owner came, the hospital area was temporarily closed for public.
"It's time for the young master to be taken to the hospital again, sir," said a middle-aged doctor in a deep voice asking Alan to be taken to the hospital.
"Is it not dangerous if we keep doing this, doc? I'm afraid his brain will be damaged," asked Mr. David Clarke worriedly.
"No, sir, the procedure we are doing is not at all harmful to the young master. What we are doing is to keep his brain from receiving a big shock, hence this must be done often to prevent unwanted incidents," replied the doctor again.
Mr. David Clarke was silent. His eyes were starting to dim as he looked at his personal doctor. "Is there any chance that Jack will escape these therapies?"
"He can, but it's a long process. We have to patiently put young master Alan's memory into him so that young master Jack's memory is gone, but this process takes quite a long time," said the doctor again.
Hearing the doctor's words, Mr. David Clarke's expression suddenly changed. He looked so sad right now that his team of doctors were worried, so was Luis, who stood beside Mr. David.
"I feel selfish, I feel very guilty for doing this. I actually can't bear to make Jack become Alan, even though Jack has his own life with the people he loves. But on the other hand, I also feel sorry for my grandson, Alan. I'm sure he can't rest in peace up there knowing that the killer is still at large. I'm afraid that if Jack remembers everything later, he will hate me, he will hate his grandfather," said Mr. David Clarke softly in an almost inaudible voice.
"Please don't say that, sir. The big decision you made is right. If at that time we didn't put young master Alan's memory into young master Jack, maybe at the moment, young master Jack was unconscious and still in a coma. Luckily, at that time we succeeded to stimulate his brain to keep working. Because if we failed back then, young master Jack would still be lying on the hospital bed, and I, as a doctor, don't know when young master Jack would regain his consciousness under such condition. So please, don't blame yourself, sir, because what you are doing is for the safety of your grandson. I will help young master Jack get his memories back slowly. You also know that his brain can't take big shocks, so please don't be weak, sir. What we are doing is for the safety of young master Jack and seeking justice for the late young master Alan," said Doctor Jonathan quickly.
Mr. David Clarke lowered his head. His memory replayed the incident two years ago where he first met Jack after Luis brought him to Luxembourg from England in an unconscious state. At that time, Jack was in very critical condition, with severe internal injuries to the head after being hit by a blunt object. Jack had lost consciousness. Not to mention the fact that he had fell in the cold sea, which only made his condition even worse. After getting surgery on the head to remove the clotted blood that was blocking Jack's blood vessels, he never regained consciousness. He even almost lost his life because the doctor at that time sentenced his brain to stop working. Finally, Doctor Jonathan was given orders by Mr. David Clarke to force his brain to keep working by entering some of Alan's memories which were played through a device connected to Jack's head. Initially all doctors had lost hope because previously Jack's brain really did not show any reaction. However, just one minute after Alan's memory was played, the doctors screamed hysterically when they saw a good response from Jack's brain. Jack, who never knew his biological grandfather, immediately responded to Alan's childhood memory. Even though Jack lived with his father and mother, Alan, who was spoiled by his grandfather, was actually able to stimulate Jack's brain to work again. A life longed for by little Jack was in fact able to make his brain work again after being declared to be had stopped functioning by doctors.
"Since young master Jack's memory is currently filled with all of young master Alan's memory, we can't just change it again sir, because it would be very dangerous. I'm afraid that if his brain is subjected to a big shock like that, it will damage his whole brain, so just let young master Jack lives as young master Alan for now. I believe young master Jack's memory will slowly come back to life if he manages to remember some things from his past life without being forced by others," added the doctor again trying to explain Jack's current condition.
"So-so you mean we..."
"Let young master Jack get his own memory master, let his brain work naturally. Because with that, his brain won't get a big shock, but right now what we need to do is keep it well. Don't let his head hit again," said Doctor Jonathan firmly, cutting Mr. Clarke's words.
Mr. David Clarke was silent for a long time, digesting each of the sentences that came from his personal doctor's lips. Slowly, a smile grew on his face. "Alright, Doc, I will make sure that Jack doesn't get anything like that. I will do anything for my baby grandson's safety."
