Lady Miranda's Change

"Father! Father! Father!"

Just as Lord Nolan was resuscitated back to life, seeing the old man open his eyes and take a great deep breath, Lord Cassius began to instantly let out loud pants of great joy, quickly sprinting over and then kneeling down to clutch the man's withered hands in relief.

"Oh! Thank the gods! Thank the gods! You are alive! You are alive!" The man afterward broke off into almost tears, while Lord Nolan's still appeared a bit delirious, his eyes glassy and his mouth slack and loose.

And at this new presence, Lord Nolan turned to look at Lord Cassius suddenly with a look of surprised unfamiliarity, as if he was asking himself who this man was.

'Oh no!' And seeing this Alexander once again cursed in his heart.

The pasha was no doctor, but he had seen people like this before- people who became paralyzed and amnesiac after suffering a stroke, unable to communicate and sometimes even recognize their next of kin.
