The Mech Lord

"Can I come as well?" Amelia asked as curiosity flickered through her bright eyes. She really seemed interested or may be she just thought that it would be fun to watch.

"No! You have your Academy, Amy. You are not going with your brother," Viona immediately shot her down and poured a bucket of cold water on her excitement.

Leo looked at the family and they indeed seemed to be a lively one. After being around for a day in the house, he had managed to catch a few more things.

Aaron was actually three years older than Aiden and was in the last year of the Glory Academy's, Mech Knight Program.

On the other hand, Leo was in the second year of Military Grade Program which trained Captain's for Gloria's Military Squads. And after the completion on this course, any student who had the potential to become a Mech Knight, that is, at least having a Red rank skill were allowed to go through the two years of Mech Knight Training Program under the Academy before they would be officially deployed as Mech Pilots or Mech Knights as they were called in Gloria.

As for Amelia, she seemed to be a year younger than Leo and was in the first year of Military Grade Program as well. But it seemed that she didn't had any plans on joining the Military and was just doing it because she was forced to. That was the reason, she was a bit rebellious and hated Aiden who was a training freak and an obedient child, a person totally opposite to her in character.

Edgar was known to everyone and he was actually very caring towards his family. On the other hand, Viona was a good mother. She was the reincarnations of those good mothers which Leo had seen in dramas back on Earth.

"You are done, Aiden?" Viona asked as she looked at him. It was time for him to go and get a few more tests done. It looked like he wasn't going to find freedom from medics anytime soon.

Vionna and Edgar both accompanied Leo as they left the place. It was obvious they were caring parents and loved Aiden a lot.

But that confused Leo even more.

Why did Aiden ran away then?

Initially he had thought that something must have happened at his home, but it didn't seem to be the case. Now, he was starting to wonder if someone had bullied him in the Academy or something. But, then with a father like that, he really didn't need to be afraid of anyone actually.

A while later, the driver finally spoke, "We are here, Sir."

And it seemed that they had reached the location.

…

Mental Care Hospital, Liem City.

It seemed that the place was owned by Dr. Malfoy, a renowned Psychiatrist as well a Neurologist who was known all over the universe for his work in this field.

But Leo had never heard of him and why would he? He didn't have anything to do with mental illness and he wasn't a fan of doctors and illnesses to research on.

The person was kind and caring through his words and was seemingly in his 50s or 60s. Leo didn't try to play smart in front of him and just denied that he had no memory of his past life and only remember himself as Leo as a human.

"Then do you still believe that you are a human?" He asked looking at Leo.

"I don't know anymore, I am confused. But, I can't imagine myself as Aiden for sure," Leo replied with a complicated look. He really wasn't happy with this body exchange at all.

Just where was the real Aiden?

"I hear you suffered some head injuries during an accident?" Dr. Malfoy asked as he went through Leo's previous medical reports which had been send over to him and were being projected on his screen.

"Hmmn?" The man suddenly frowned as he went over the images of Leo's brain.

'He is not going to find you in there, right?' Leo couldn't help but ask Arthur in a tensed state when he saw the Doctor's frown turning deeper.

[No, he can't find me.] Arthur's confidence indeed managed to reassure Max about it.

"Nancy, compare the images to a regular brain," Dr. Malfoy suddenly spoke and the system as if recognizing his voice replied.

"Noted, comparing…"

'A.I.s are really everywhere,' Leo couldn't help but mutter with a smile.

Hell, he even had one in his brain.

As for whether it was something to be happy about or not was a different matter all together.

Soon, the comparison that the Doctor had asked for was prepared by the A.I. named Nancy and it shocked the Doctor. It turned out Leo's brain had indeed suffered some kind of heavy damage. The doctor couldn't believe that Leo had managed to live like this.

When Edgar and Viona heard about it, their expression changed as well. Doctor Malfoy told them that he hadn't seen any case like that of Leo's and it was probably better to just let him recover naturally and not put him in any kind of medications or therapy for now. It was clear from the old man's condition that he was a bit freaked out after looking at Leo's condition.

A minute later, Leo was asked to leave and only the Doctor Malfoy and his parents remained inside…

"Is natural recovery the only option for him?" Edgar couldn't help but ask with a troubled look while Viona was already on the verge of tears after hearing that Leo was lucky to be living.

"Sire, have a look at this." Dr. Malfoy sighed as he dragged the projection screen floating towards his side before splitting it into two and putting it in front of Edgar and Viona.

"The one on the left is an average figure of a brain and the one to the right is Aiden's brain."

As soon as he said those, both Edgar and Viona raised there heads to look at it and their eyes slowly stretched wide. Even a lay man without any medical skill could tell the two were not the exact same.

The Doctor forced a helpless smile on his face and he swiped the screens to the side and spoke in a serious tone, "This is something I have never seen. And I know how much you love your son, so I will be honest with you....."

"If I follow my profession, then I should be studying your son and probably gather as much information as I can about his state after persuading you as his case is one never seen before. But mental health is very different and it will always be a mystery."

"Since, you two have done a lot for out nation, I won't hide anything for you for the respect that I have for you," He further said before continuing with a pause, "I can't guarantee that there might not be any negative impact on him. He appears very confused and stressed right now. Not to mention, his belief of him not being Aiden is too strong. This is not the right condition for his treatment. And especially after seeing his head injury, I don't think its a good idea to be doing this against his will."

Dr. Malfoy suddenly paused before looking at the two in front once again, "If I am not wrong, he wasn't here at his own will…"

The two people's face immediately changed. They hadn't even asked him actually and why would they? They only wanted to get him back to good health. What was wrong with it?

"There is nothing wrong with you being forceful about his good, but that should not clash with his identity crisis." He immediately explained realizing their thoughts as he tapped his fingers on the table.

Edgar and Viona exchanged glances, they hadn't expected for their son's condition to be so serious. What would they do if he never remembers them?

"I suggest you to start from the very beginning. Think that you have adopted a son. Built a trust and a relationship with him again. It will be a good thing if he eventually recovers his memory but that doesn't mean that you can't build new ones with him until that time. Just make him feel like he is your son, a family and things will be fine again." Dr. Malfoy said with a smile before further continuing, "After all, you know he is your son and even if he can't remember it and is confused now, he will eventually realize it in theory at least. If you shower him with your love and care, I am sure he will accept you two as parents even in his current state."

"And if one day, you can persuade him to come here out of his own will and go through a treatment, I will be more than happy to help you out."

The Doctor indeed was a good guy and gave his best advice to them.

Viona suddenly looked at Edgar after wiping her tears and nodded.. She was going to do it and make her son once again acknowledge her as his mother.
