While the mother and son duo were deeply engrossed in their special bonding moment, the third occupant of the room was standing by the side with a furious and livid expression on his handsome face.Ethan couldn't fathom why his best friend gave in to that scheming and manipulative doctor! Just like Dorothy, even he doesn't believe that it's okay to leave Angelina in Dr. Nick's care while Maxwell is thousands of miles away. The manipulative doctor must have concocted those white lies about Angelina being prone to falling into a coma once again if she's told that she's married to Maxwell at the moment. No, it is as clear as day to Ethan that that is just a ploy to have Angelina all to himself so he can brainwash her and make her fall in love with him!But Ethan will not just sit still and allow him to succeed! He might have emotionally blackmailed Maxwell into giving in to his demands but he can't do so with Maxwell's best friend and lawyer! With one last look at the mother and son who
Maxwell's mind has already been made up. And so despite all Ethan's efforts, pleadings and coaxing, he made all the necessary arrangements for flying back home to London that same day.Having no other choice, Ethan reluctantly gave in and all three of them—him, Maxwell and Dorothy were on their way out of the hospital with one of his private jet's crew men pulling Maxwell's trolleys behind him when they met Angelina and Nick who were also on their own way out.Ignoring his doctor's instructions, Maxwell had gotten rid of his crutches despite the fact that his right leg isn't fully healed yet and so he was just slowly dragging the leg along with him. And when they unexpectedly came face to face with Angelina and her friend-cum-doctor, he came to a halt so suddenly and so fast that he nearly tripped and fell if Ethan hadn't been standing ever ready close by to support him if or when the need arises. As the three of them came to an abrupt halt, Angelina and Nick also stopped on their t
The next morning, Angelina woke up to the disturbing sound of a dog barking incessantly. Yawning and stretching her limbs, she sat up on the bed that felt so strangely comfortable. Bed? Comfortable?!Angelina instantly opened her groggy eyes as wide as she could. Where on earth had she gotten a bed to lie on, a very comfortable one at that? With a frown on her gorgeous face, she scanned her eyes all around the unfamiliar surrounding and it was only when they fell on a bookshelf filled with medical books that everything that happened in the past few days came flooding back to her.She's currently in Cage's apartment. She had followed him here the previous day after being discharged from the hospital. The hospital where she had been on admission for God-knows-how-long after having an accident. An accident which had apparently made her lose part of her memories since for the life of her, she can't recall anything beyond her pre-teen years. All she can recall is being a twelve years old y
Just like Dr. Nick had warned Angelina, he was quite busy and occupied at the hospital throughout the day. However, he still squeezed out time, though just a bit briefly, to check in on her in his office where she had remained ever since their arrival at the hospital.To occupy herself, she had switched on the television set but she soon lost interest in it when she kept flicking through the channels and couldn't find anything that appealed to her. As she sat down idle on the single couch in the vast office, her eyes began roaming all over the surrounding out of their own volition. And as she did so, her eyes fell on Dr. Nick's laptop which was placed on his desk.Like a moth drawn to a flame, all of a sudden, she just felt herself being pulled towards it as she leapt up on her feet and rushed to the desk. Just like it happened to her with the guitar and the other musical instruments, she just found herself flipping the laptop open and turning it on. As soon as it was switched on, sh
After a while, Angelina finally snapped out of her stupor. She quickly made her way to the door, opened it and poked her head out to search for Robert. He was standing just outside the door, leaning with his back against the wall and upon seeing her, he instantly pulled away from the wall and stood in attention with his head bowed once again. "Oh, ma'am! You should have just called out to me and I would have been there in a jiffy. So, how is it? Should I make a call to the big boss now? He has been calling and…"Robert didn't get to finish saying what he intended to say as his phone suddenly began to ring, making him bow his head even more deeper and with more respect and attention, as if the caller can see him through the phone. Showing the phone to Angelina, he quickly said, "He's the one calling once again. What should I tell him? Do you like it or should they try a different restaurant?"Instead of answering, Angelina extended her hand to him, asking, "May I speak to h
Dr. Nick didn't get a chance to return to his office until much later in the evening when he had rounded up all he had to do for the meantime. And after having one look at his tired face, Angelina abruptly got up, took the lunch basket in her left hand before holding Dr. Nick's hand with the right one. "You're coming home with me right this second, Dr. Lifesaver!"However, instead of letting her to pull him along with her like she intended to, Dr. Nick stayed put in his place while shaking his head and saying, "No Jolie. I can't leave now. I just performed surgeries on two of my patients and I have to be there when they eventually come to. I need to assess them and…" "Oh no, Dr. Lifesaver, you have already done your part. There are other doctors who can do whatever needs to be done. Besides, you look so tired and dead on your feet and as far as I know, you can only save lives when you yourself are alive and well! So like I said earlier, you are coming home with me now
When Dr. Nick had given Angelina the two gadgets that Maxwell sent over for her, she had only accepted the laptop and refused to accept the phone, claiming that she had no use for it since she had no one to communicate with.Even though that's what she claimed, the real reason is because she doesn't want any reminder of her past life at the moment, the past life that she has no memories of as at present. She knows that once she has a phone, someone connected to her forgotten past might call her and that will inevitably push back those depressing thoughts which she had shoved away to the forefront and hence, make her sad and gloomy. And that's the last thing she wanted at the moment. All she wants is to pretend as if all is well, to live in the moment, to be happy and keep having great fun with her best friend. Therefore, she surely doesn't want a phone as of now! If her memories return in the future, then she'd surely require a phone. But as of now, she had no need for it!When Dr. Ni
Maxwell stood in front of the large painting of Angelina and himself in his exquisitely furnished living room, slowly tracing the outline of his wife's gorgeous face with misty eyes and a forlorn and wistful expression on his face.All of a sudden, he felt a hand on his shoulder and even before her gentle, soothing voice rent the air, he knew it was his mother. "You know that staring at her picture will not magically conjure her up, right? Why are you doing this to yourself, son? When will you stop punishing yourself? It's been almost two months now since we left Croatia. Since you left your wife with a complete stranger! All you do is keep sending money, stuffs and either Ethan or Robert to go check on her while you remain here torturing yourself with depressing thoughts. Just take a look at yourself. You haven't just lost a lot of weight but also look so haggard! Arnold told me that once I'm not here, you don't eat at all and hardly sleep at night. And now you're standing here
