Chapter 1026 In Court (4) Amnesia Exposure
Barely affected by the prosecution''s statement, the defencewyer requested calmly, "Your honour,
please allow me to call another witness."
"Permission granted."
There came another witness, a man a bit older.
"Who are you?" asked the defence.
"My name is Roosevelt Red, I''m from Jolencami, the attending of Besse." Answered the man.
"Can you identify yourself, please?"
"This is my work ID." The man said as he showed them a card.
The defencewyer took it for the officials in court, who submitted it over to the jury.
"You are Besse''s attending physician and should be very clear about her physical condition." Said the
defendant''s attorney. "Can you tell us more?"
"Yes," nodded Roosevelt. "After Besse had an ident and suffered a severe blow to her head, she
remained unconscious for a long time even after being rescued. It wasn''t until exactly a yearter that
she woke uppletely but lost all of her previous memories thereafter. Here are all of Besse''s
diagnostic reports during hospitalization as well as all subsequent medical records."
The staff member submitted evidence again to court officials.
"So after Besse had an ident she couldn''t remember anything before it happened?" asked the
defence counsel.
"Yes."
"I object!" The intiff''s attorney became quite agitated. "I seriously doubt whether these diagnostic
reports are authentic or not! I don''t agree with this so-called proof provided by Jolencami. Northfield
should have its authoritative proof!"
Minerva was also visibly excited on one side.
It was hard enough getting this far; it was hard enough forcing Besse into this situation. How could
such an inappropriate reason appear halfway through? She still needed to win against Besse to obtain
huge sums of money and establish her reputation. She couldn''t ept such unclear reasoning passing
by so easily.
"Don''t worry about it," said the defence counsel calmly. "I also have what you want, a hospital
certification of Northfield."
The intiff''s attorney fell silent immediately.
"Your honour, please allow me another witness."
"Allowed."
Another man walked into the courtroom.
If anyone knew something about the medicalmunity of Northfield, he would recognize him.
Benedict Castillo was a well-known doctor and authority in that area of this country.
As soon as the intiff''swyer saw this man, he felt greatly uneasy-if this man could verify that Besse
did suffer a loss of her memory, everything would fall apart as they fight this.
"What is your name?"
"I am Benedict Castillo, the president of the Capital Hospital and director of the research institution."
His identity provoked a little uproar from the audience.
"Mr Castillo, was my client, Miss Besse, a patient suffering from amnesia of you?"
"Yes. She dide to me for help, and I conducted several tests and diagnosed her with memory loss
caused by blood clots pressing against the nerves inside her head. The ident she had years ago
caused blood clots to form inside her skull, which remained there due to their location being too
dangerous for removal. This affected her nervous system and caused memory loss."
"So, it''s true that Besse suffers from amnesia?" asked the defencewyer.
"The results of our medical assessment are urate." Replied Benedict.
"All right then, thank you for your time, Mr Castillo."
"Why should we believe it just because you say so?" Minerva couldn''t contain herself any longer.
"Just now mywyer said that Besse''s identity is special and she could easily fake it. Why should
finding a doctor from Jolencami or Northfield prove anything? Amnesia only happens in cheesy
romance dramas, it doesn''t happen in real life!" she eximed angrily.
Everyone present looked down upon Minerva at this point.
If not for Benedict Castillo''s words, the audience might have agreed with Minerva since memory loss
was almost unheard-of outside TV dramas and not easily believed by most people as something that
could happen in real life.
But because the person testifying in court was the most authoritative figure in Northfield''s medical
possibly lie on the stand, as it would not only affect his reputation but also that of the entire country''s
medical authority. To put it bluntly, Benedict''s prestige was such that no one would question the
truthfulness of what he said. Whatever he spoke was guaranteed to be fact.
If someone were to question him, it could only mean their ignorance. So at this moment, Minerva''s
doubts were looked down upon by others.
"intiff, please remain quiet." Warned the judge sternly.
Minerva was dissatisfied but had to keep her mouth shut due to the warning. She kept signalling her

The intiff''swyer didn''t even bother acknowledging her, knowing there wasn''t anything questionable
about this.
"Your honour," said Besse''swyer respectfully again. "Here is a diagnosis report personally issued by
Mr Castillo himself for your review."
As he spoke, a staff member handed over a document to be examined at trial.
Later, Benedict left the courtroom.
A result hade out.
"In conclusion," continued Besse''swyer after some reasoning earlier on in court proceedings. "If my
client had seen Phantom''s original work before then it would have been possible 8 years ago at best
since my client lost her memory 4 years ago and wouldn''t remember seeing it anyway if she did see it
back then. Of course, we don''t rule out that my client may have subconsciously remembered
something from seeing Phantom''s design and incorporated it into her work during the creation process,
which might infringe upon original design rights but is truly an unintentional mistake. On behalf of my
client, I ask Your Honour for leniency when considering judgment regarding this matter."
After finishing his statement, Besse''swyer prepared to sit down again when suddenly...
"I object!" The intiff''s attorney stood up once more. "I object to what opposing counsel has just
stated! I do not agree with Besse having seen Phantom''s design 8 years ago. I suspect that Besse
recently saw my client''s design n!"
