Seven days of horror

"Miss, you should be new here, right? My cousin's name is Sam Fox, please check again..." His hand holding the receiver trembled. Could it be that his cousin was also his hallucination?

"Sir, I have been working in this clinic for nearly ten years. I have never heard of a psychiatrist named Sam here. Could it be that you made a mistake?" The delicate voice on the other end of the phone said slightly dissatisfied .

"Wait, are you Jenny?" He vaguely remembered that the thin, ordinary-looking receptionist was called Jenny.

"Hey, how do you know my name is Jenny? But I really don't have a psychiatrist named Sam..." Jenny wondered.

Locke's head was blank, and his hands softened and the receiver fell to the ground.On the other end of the phone, Jenny asked puzzledly: "Who the hell are you? How do you know my name is Jenny? Hello? Sir, are you still there? Hello?"

Is my cousin really my hallucination?I do not believe!He took care of me like a big brother, how could it be my hallucination? !He clenched his fists involuntarily.

By the way, if it is a hallucination, you can ask mom, why did I forget?Mom will always know if she has a nephew... He tapped his head, then picked up the receiver and dialed his parents' home phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Locke heard the noise on the other end of the phone, and also faintly heard the sobbing of a woman. He couldn't help becoming nervous (he was afraid that his mother would be in trouble): "Mom! Where are you? Why are you so noisy? ?”

"Locke, Mom is now at the police station, accompanying Aunt Jasmine (Sam's mother), the police have found your cousin!" The mother's joyful voice came from the other end of the phone.

But Locke's heart was shocked when he heard it. What do you mean 'the police found my cousin'?When was Sam ever missing?

"Mom, is the cousin you're talking about Cousin Sam?" Locke asked tremblingly.

"Hey, Locke, do you remember Sam?" Mother asked curiously.

Locke panted heavily, pretending to be happy and said, "I found my cousin? That's great!"

Fortunately, the mother's attention was diverted by something, and she hurriedly said to Locke: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, Sam is out, I will call you again tonight..." As soon as the words fell, the phone was hung up broken.

Locke was stunned for a while, and after a while, he took a deep breath, got up and made himself a cup of hot tea to ease his emotions.

God!If it's true that Cousin Sam has been missing for ten years, what's been taking care of me? !He was in a mess, staring at the steam rising from the teacup in a daze.

Alas, let's not worry about these things for now, Hector should also appear. Thinking of this, Locke's heart beat wildly, eagerly looking forward to it.

Time is like a river flowing into the sea, and the time for Hector's appearance soon passed, but he still did not appear, and Locke's heart fell into the bottom of the valley again.

His heart throbbed again, and he curled up again, crying to death on the bed until he fell asleep from exhaustion.

In the morning of the third day, he didn't know if it was his own illusion. He felt a warm hand touching his face, and he seemed to see Hector's gentle smile in a dim way. He was overjoyed, and immediately sat up, looking forward to seeing To his dreaming face.

"You woke up baby..." After he saw who it was, his heart fell from heaven to hell, and it wasn't Hector who woke him up.

"Mom, why are you here?" He couldn't hide his disappointment.

"What? You don't want to see Mom so much?" The mother naturally sensed her son's depressed mood.

"Where is it? I was just a little surprised..." Locke pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly.

"Why didn't you go to work today?" The mother touched her son's face.

"Oh, it's almost the end of the year, and the company wants us to pay off our annual leave... By the way, Mom, what are you doing here so early?" Locke rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up.

"It's late, it's already ten o'clock, you and I go to your cousin's house, Sam took good care of you when you were young, you go to chat with him, after he disappeared and came back, he was in a trance, alas, saw It hurts so much,” said the mother, as she straightened the sheets, then gently nudged her son to the bathroom (to wash him, of course).

"But, Mom, I..."

He originally wanted to stay at home and wait for Hector, but when he thought that Hector would reappear tonight (if he did reappear), he changed his mind and said: "Okay, Mom, wait for me, I will accompany you." You go to your cousin's house..."

The mother nodded in satisfaction and watched her son walk into the bathroom.Alas, the son called home at [-]:[-] in the morning to say that he was fine. How could the mother not be worried?So, under the guise of visiting Sam, she forcefully pulled her son out to relax, which was better than staying at home.

The Locke mother and son came to Cousin Sam's house, and Aunt Jasmine, who was in a good mood, cooked a rich lunch for the Locke mother and son. The son finally came back after ten years of absence, and Sam's mother was naturally the happiest.

After lunch, the mother and Aunt Molly and her sister went to the room to talk, leaving Locke and Sam in the living room drinking coffee and chatting.

Locke looked at Sam, but felt that the Sam in front of him was a little thinner and looked younger, no different from the 'Sam' he had been in contact with in the past.

Sam cleared his throat and said, "Bro, I heard from Mom that you were in a car accident ten years ago and lost your memory. Alas, I also disappeared ten years ago. What a coincidence..."

For me, you are not missing!Locke screamed in his heart.

"Bro, can you tell me about your disappearance?" For some reason, Locke felt that his cousin's disappearance had something to do with him.

Sam pondered for a while and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know what's going on. I vaguely remember that day when I went to the park for morning exercise, I saw a small tabby cat meowing on the ground. I never liked cats, but I don’t know why I stepped forward to pick it up, and after that... I didn’t know anything. When I regained consciousness, I found two policemen standing beside me, and I also found that... ten years have passed!"

He looked at Locke blankly, as if expecting Locke to give him an answer.

"I can't believe I've been missing for ten years. It feels like I've only been unconscious for a few minutes..." Sam's eyes were full of confusion.

"Bro, don't be like this, just come back, Auntie needs your care... Then what are your plans for the future?" Locke asked a very practical question.

"Well, after a while, I will have the cheek to visit the director of the medical center where I used to work, and beg him to let me reinstate... I can't stay at home and rely on my mother..." Sam said helplessly.

Then fell into an awkward silence. In order to motivate his cousin, Locke told him that when he lost his memory after a car accident and was depressed, a psychiatrist gave him help. The help made him feel a moment of peace and warmth in his heart, and gave him the courage to start again.

"Bro, you are very lucky...to have such a sincere and good friend..." Sam patted Locke on the shoulder.

That sincere good friend is you!Of course Locke couldn't say that.

"Yeah, I also feel very lucky, so bro, don't be discouraged, you don't lose your memory like me, I believe the dean will be very happy to let you come back and reinstate..." Locke comforted his cousin.

The reunion time passed very quickly, and soon it was evening.

Locke's mother and son also left after dinner at the aunt's house. The mother saw that Locke's eyes were not so sad, and the smile on his mouth was not so forced, so she let go of her heart and went back to her home.

In this way, Locke went home alone, silently sitting on the sofa chair in the living room, waiting for Hector to appear.

Naturally, Hector didn't show up. Locke's emerald eyes glinted with tears and looked around, imagining that he was in a verdant green forest, but Hector never showed up.

Heh... have you abandoned me?where are you?He just felt hopeless.
