Curtis stopped in his tracks, then glanced back at Tommy.Tommy continued, "Her condition isn't that severe. I believe she'll recover quickly as long as we don't stimulate her any further."Earlier, the doctor had explained that if a patient remembered certain details while overlooking others, it indicated the presence of dissociative amnesia.That implied that Margot selectively clung to the positive aspects of her life. She wouldn't be able to recall the people or situations that caused her sadness or grief.Curtis disregarded Tommy's advice and entered the ward anyway.Tommy had initially planned to stop him. However, considering they were married, he had no choice but to relent.Once again, Curtis stood by Margot's bedside, quietly observing her.Margot sat at the head of the bed, staring out the window. Upon realizing someone had entered, she turned to look.Although the man standing before her was extremely handsome, she had no idea who he was.Margot wasn't fond of inte
After ensuring Curtis had left, Tommy requested Margot's discharge from the hospital.On that very night, he took Margot and left, going to a place beyond Curtis' reach.Although he knew it wasn't appropriate, he always felt that Margot would be in danger if she continued to stay there.Although uncertain whether Curtis was the source of danger, Tommy preferred that Margot avoid any contact with him until she had completely recovered and he had unraveled the reasons behind her attempted suicide.…Curtis simply went home, showered, and changed his clothes. Upon his return to the hospital, the ward was already empty.Seeing the nurse tidying up the bed, he strode forward and asked, "Where is the patient who was staying here?"The nurse was startled and quickly replied, "She's been discharged this afternoon.""What do you mean? She hasn't fully recovered yet, right? How could she be discharged?""I'm not so sure about this as well. Her family insisted on discharging her."Curti
Margot slowly nodded, and her awareness gradually returned to normal. She asked Tommy, "If you're not Curt, what's your relationship with me?"After a moment of hesitation, Tommy replied, "I'm your … best friend.""Then why didn't you take me home? Why did you transfer me to another hospital instead?""It's not safe for you to return home for the time being.""Why is it not safe? I remember having a home, and someone loved me dearly there. He would buy me everything I liked. I felt very safe with him."Tommy knew who she was talking about. He asked in return, "Don't you feel safe with me by your side?"Margot smiled and nodded. "Of course, I feel safe!""In that case, just treat me like the person who loves you dearly back home."Margot was at a loss. Was it okay for her to do that? If it were, then she would do it."Tommy, I'm a little tired. Can I sleep for a while?" Margot asked while yawning. Besides, she didn't feel like eating anymore.Tommy swiftly set aside the fork a
Curtis remained unfazed and determined to leave with Margot despite the pain in his arm. Tommy wanted to intervene but got stopped by Chester.Seeing that Curtis still wouldn't let go, Margot bit down more forcefully. However, it didn't work at all.Margot suddenly let out a piercing scream. Amid her scream, Margot clenched her fists and delivered a punch to Curtis' face.Her scream had attracted the attention of those nearby. Unable to bear it any longer, Tommy shouted at Curtis, "Are you trying to kill her? Isn't once enough?""Tommy! Save me, Tommy!"Margot continued to struggle and scream. Curtis couldn't bear her struggling anymore, so he let go of her.Freed from Curtis' grasp, Margot raced toward Tommy as if fleeing for her life. Trembling violently, she clung to him and mumbled incoherently, "Please don't hand me over to him. I don't like him at all. I hate him! I feel a sharp pain in my chest whenever I see him. Tommy, please take me away. I'm scared."Margot curl
"Don't come near me! Don't touch me! It hurts so much!" Margot yelled out, "My head hurts so terribly!"She winced in pain as she began to pull at the white gauze wrapped around her head.When Curtis saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. "Margot, it's me! Please stop doing this!""Don't touch me! Go away! I don't want to see you. I feel so uncomfortable when you're near me. Please just leave me alone!"She flailed about, trying to keep Curtis away from her while screaming at the top of her lungs.Margot seemed to have completely lost her mind, behaving like a lunatic. She also kept clawing at the wound on her head.Curtis couldn't bear to see her in such a state and was determined to help her."Margot, please stop. The wound might reopen. I'm Curtis, and I'll never hurt you." He held her tightly in his arms, causing her to lose control even more. Then, she fiercely bit down on his neck.Curtis didn't dare to move, allowing her to sink her teeth into him. At leas
Curtis couldn't bear the thought of losing Margot. He truly regretted what he had done. He should have followed Tommy's advice and refrained from stimulating her.Realizing the gravity of the situation, he asked Chester to bring Tommy back. Although he was reluctant to ask Tommy for help, he knew it was the only way.Upon Tommy's return, he found Curtis seated on the bench outside the VIP ward, his pristine white shirt stained with blood from the neck bite.It was truly a heart-wrenching scene to behold.Tommy said, "Go take care of the wound on your neck. Don't worry, I won't take her away this time."With tears and bloodshot eyes, Curtis looked up at Tommy and managed a choked apology, "I'm sorry."He was apologizing for what happened moments ago.Turning the other cheek, Tommy said, "If you were truly acting in her best interests, I wouldn't hold it against you. After all, she is your wife."Cutis explained, "I was just too impatient. I didn't realize that my impatience coul
Margot remained unconscious for two full days. During this time, Tommy and Curtis maintained a vigil by her bedside.Curtis only left when Margot's vital signs returned to normal, and she regained consciousness. Tommy leaned over her and whispered, "Margot, you've been asleep for a long time. Please just open your eyes and look at me."Margot's eyes fluttered open at the sound of Tommy's voice.Several tubes were removed from her body, and there was already a hint of color returning to her face.She gazed weakly at the man sitting by her bedside, her voice barely a whisper. "Tommy, I had a dream."Tommy promptly asked her, "What did you dream about?""I dreamt that you lifted me by the fish pond, and I also dreamt that Natalie bought me a beautiful dress."Pleasantly surprised, Tommy asked, "So you've finally regained your memories?"Margot's brow furrowed in confusion as she tried to make sense of Tommy's words.Seeing her confusion, Tommy quickly comforted her, saying, "If
Margot was feeling much more clear-headed, yet an empty void lingered in her heart. It was as if she had lost something very important to her. Margot's face lit up when she saw Doris entering with food. Happily, she called out, "Doris!""Hey, Ms. Stone!" Doris smiled and swiftly unpacked the food. While doing so, she asked, "Ms. Stone, how did you manage to injure your head? Why does it look so serious? Does it hurt?"Margot pouted her lips like a child, looking especially pitiful. "I don't know how I injured myself, and it hurts so much.""Oh my, you poor thing! Come and have something to eat first."Tommy took the bowl, saying, "I'll feed her."Doris glanced at Tommy and nodded.Tommy remembered the doctor's words that Margot could only eat soft food. So he gently mashed the dumplings and spooned them to her along with the soup.Margot gladly opened her mouth and ate, her eyes fixed on Tommy. She was smiling. "Why are you smiling at me again?" Tommy asked. "Because you'r
