The diagnosis wasn’t a big surprise last year. Hugo (Verbraeken) had a first suspicion when he began to forget a lot of things. “At first I didn’t realize it, because I forget a lot too. Typical old men, I thought.”
Nicole then suggested writing everything down. “But when she also lost track of the meaning of those notes, I started to really worry.”
Nicole realized it herself: “Yes, sure. I’ve kept that secret from people for a long time. Hugo has always protected me.”
