Chapter Fifty-Six

Alex's POV

"After I left you there I was on the run for a few years, had to lay low and earn some money any way I could. Then I decided to change my face and name." Emma said and I just kept looking at her dumbfounded.

It's all make sense now.

Her story matches with the fragments I saw during the hypnosis test with Mason.

"Alex" she called as she shook me but her voice sounded far away.

I can't believe I totally forgot everything.

I forgot how they cruelly killed me parentsn, and the man that killed them...

"Alex, say something please." Emma said as she shook me vigorously finally jerking me from my thoughts.

I staggered but she grabbed my arm preventing me from falling.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Okay? How can I be okay? I totally forgot everything, I forgot my parents death and I lived like everything was okay while those cruel men that killed my parents lived a carefree live that they don't deserve!" I yelled.

"It's not your fault Alex, you were injected with a drug that made you loose that memory."

"I should have remembered!" I yelled. "I should have remembered when I saw the Prime Minister! And when I finally remembered a bit of what happened that and I knew he was involved. I didn't want to believe it and I stood by the man that killed my own parents!"

"Calm down Alex" Emma said.

"You should have told me earlier, you should have told me everything earlier!" 

"I spent my life watching you from the shadows Alex, unlike me, you were living freely and I didn't want to involve you in this mess again unless it's absolutely necessary, that's why I didn't tell you earlier." 

"That was not your call to make! You all stripped me off my right to remember my parents death. Do you know how I felt all this years, knowing that there was this gap in my memory that I could never fill, yet I kept trying. Do you know how hard I looked for my parents with the hope that they might still be alive?"

"Alex..."

"You should've told me! You shouldn't have left me on the road that morning, you should have waited for me to become conscious and told me everything that happened. Instead you decided to give me a fake life, a life I was always struggling to understand something I couldn't remember!" I said and walked out of her.

I bumped into Jasmine on the way in.

"Where have you been Alex, I've been looking for you. I actually talked to this nurse at the infirmary asking her if Lovenox was available and luckily it was so here for your tremors." She said as she gave the drugs to me.

I didn't collect her.

All I could do was stare at her with tears in my eyes.

"Is something wrong Alex?" She asked but I was quiet.

"Come on, talk to me Alex, did something bad happened?" She asked .

"Please say something you are getting me worried." She said and I drew her closer to me and hugged her.

"You are a happiness I don't deserve" I said.

"What?" She asked.

"I've finally found myself Jasmine and I can't live like I used to before. But seeing you makes me wish I never got to know what happened that night cause now that I know, things can never be the same for me."

"I don't understand, what are you talking about?" She asked.

"Our friendship end here Jasmine, we are back to the doctor and assistant relationship now." 

"What?"

"Get something, I mean get it clear. We'll be going back to London tomorrow morning." I said and walked away.

"You look awful doctor didn't you sleep?" Andrew asked as he woke up in the morning to meet me awake.

"Couldn't sleep" I replied.

"Why? Is something wrong?" He asked looking concerned.

"I'm fine Andrew, you should go get ready, we'll be taking a few pictures with the Afghanistan millitary before we leave for the airport." 

"Okay doc" he said and went off to the bathroom.

**************

We took some pictures with army and Captain Amir went to drop us at the airport.

"I guess our journey together ends here doctors" Captain said.

"And it wasn't pleasant coming to this country at all, considering the fact that I am leaving with a gunshot wound." Ryan who was now using crouches said.

"It was nice coming here Captain, be careful and stay safe" Emma said and Captain shook her hand.

Jasmine's POV

We walked into the airport and entered the private plane that was to take us to London.

Alex sat down on a seat near the window and I went to sit beside him.

"Alex, what's wrong Alex? I couldn't understand anything last night." 

"Come on Alex, answer me" I said again when he remained silent.

"Don't you think it's disrespectful to call your superior by his name?" He asked and I looked at him surprised.

"What? But.....but we are friends right?"

"I ended that friendship yesterday." 

"What's with the sudden change Alex?" I asked.

"It's Doctor Alex from now on and I am not obligated to discuss my personal life with you, we have some professional boundaries Jasmine and you must not cross it, excuse me." He said and left his seat to sit by my front with Emma.

What the heck is wrong with him?

I continued watching Alex and Emma and they seemed to be discussing something really serious.

"...my revenge on those people that killed my parents so..." That was all I could manage to hear from all what Alex said.

His parents were killed?
