William and Richard were among the first relatives to visit. They brought expensive gifts and hypocritical care.

"Dear niece," William said with a beaming smile, "we are so happy to see you safe and sound."

Richard nodded in agreement, "Yes, we were all terrified. I heard you lost some of your memories?"

Alicia was keenly aware of the looks exchanged by her uncles. She decided to act like she knew nothing about the details of the crash." The doctor said it was normal and that it might take a while for your memory to fully return."

    Alice sat in her father's study, surrounded by files and ledgers. The sunlight streaming through the half-open blinds on the window cast shadows on the floor, creating a pattern of light and darkness. The room was filled with a faint smell of leather and old books, reminding her of the days when her father taught her to read.

    Alicia closed her eyes, as if she could also feel the oppressive atmosphere of that morning. Her father's voice, the one that had always been so confident and powerful in her memory, suddenly seemed distant and vague."Your father's voice sounded urgent," George continued. "He said he had remembered some important things and wanted me to come see him immediately. I still remember the sound of his breathing being a bit hurried and the background noise of searching for papers."George paused for a moment, taking a sip of the already cold coffee.

They said... said your father's car had crashed on the winding mountain road."Alicia felt dizzy, and she struggled to control her emotions, but she still felt tears welling up in her eyes."I immediately rushed to the scene," George's voice became even lower, "and it was the most horr
