“Keep taking Derek to familiar surroundings; remind him of
his past and there are chances of his memory returning” advised Dr. Mark to
Anne.
Anne chirped her usual way with her husband, deftly weaving
the pre-accident life into the conversation, but gaining only a glazed
expression in return.
As Anne drove past the busy lane, Derek shrieked, his eyes
fixed on the damaged minivan covered with the foliage on the curb “Yes, It was
me. I killed the innocent boy!”
Anne’s wicked eyes gleamed in pleasure at Mark as the cops
led a handcuffed delusional Derek out of their way.
