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
Tommy turned to Curtis and asked, "I suppose you and Tammy must have done something that somewhat triggered Margot?"Curtis remained silent, his head lowered. He vividly remembered the events leading up to Margot's attempt to take her own life.It was because Tammy had kissed him. At that moment, Margot appeared unfazed and even commented that he and Tammy were well-suited for each other.It turned out that she still held him dear in her heart. So much so that, even as she started to recover, she couldn't bring herself to think about him and Tammy anymore.He was truly at fault for the current situation.Curtis' silence indicated his acknowledgment of being somewhat responsible for what had transpired.Tommy added, "I can help you take care of her for the time being, but I hope you won't hold it against me for whatever happens in the future."Curtis knew that, at the moment, only Tommy could effectively care for Margot. Although he didn't fully grasp what Tommy meant about futur
Margot thought to herself, "Curtis Crosby?" She furrowed her brows, feeling like Tommy had mentioned this name before, but she couldn't recall anything about it. No longer paying attention to the stranger, Margot turned to Natalie with a mischievous look in her gaze. "Natalie, why did you bring your friend over instead of your husband?"Natalie suddenly felt embarrassed by Margot's question. She glanced back at Curtis who was standing behind her.Curtis carefully approached Margot, extending his hand in a gentlemanly and elegant manner. "Hello, I'm Curtis Crosby."Margot cast a cold glance at Curtis, not bothering to shake hands with him. "I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable interacting with unfamiliar men."Margot turned to Natalie, pulled her over, and continued to chatter. "Natalie, your skin looks so amazing! Your husband is such a lucky man to be able to marry such a wonderful woman like you! Would you mind staying with me at the hospital today?""Sure!"Natalie wore a
