You mean in Isaac's Heroes and Villains book? I would agree that the chances of Milah choosing Hook over Rumple are low. And Hook probably would have never gone to Neverland, so it's also possible that he wasn't even alive at that time (not that any of that ever happened in the AU, but he wouldn't remember being alive that long anyway). The same could even be true for Rumple - perhaps Milah was non-existent in the AU.

If I had to guess, Hook's memories would be that his hand was cut off by Black Beard or some other pirate as punishment for something? But the reason he didn't have his hand would be because Isaac's writing wasn't able to heal him for the same reasons it couldn't bring Neal back.
