Hayden's POV I don't know why I'm so eager to visit the hospital right now where I actually have no business being there at all. It's just that I'm feeling very restless because I'm always thinking about Addison. Even though I already knew what Addison's condition was like, it couldn't stop the feelings I had for her. I'm still interested in Addison, I want Addison to be happy. I also really want Addison to get well soon and get what she wants which of course she has to get rid of her husband first. I let out a rough breath. Thinking about Damon, who was Addison's husband, really upset me. "That man really looks like a demon." I don't know how long Damon will keep Addison and not divorce her. Even though judging from his attitude, the man doesn't seem to love Addison. Then why did he continue to defend their marriage. Especially about their family case which turned out to be a misunderstanding, Damon should immediately release Addison because Addison is completely innocent let alon
Hayden’e POV"Hey, you guys are still here."Suddenly Shofia returned to her room and made Addison look surprised, maybe Addison was afraid that Shofia had heard our conversation earlier."Maybe we'll come out, Shof," I told her. I turned to Addison and she just looked at me without protesting."Yeah, you better go out for a walk to the park to buy some confectionery, or something. Try to do something fun." Shofia makes a suggestion. "I have to see patients today, so I'm going to be very busy."Addison immediately stood up from her seat, and there was a look of guilt on her face. "I'm sorry, Shofia. We'll go out and not bother you with work."I also stood up from my seat and said goodbye to Shofia who chuckled and shook her head."Good work, Doctor.""Yes. You guys have fun."Addison and I walked out of Shofia's room and left her to her work."Where are we going?" I asked Addison as we walked side by side down the hospital hallway."Dad is still resting. Maybe we should just go to the
Addison’s POVI'd rather spend time with my dad than stay at home and meet up with Damon. So as usual, this time I took Dad for a walk in the park to get some fresh air. Dad's condition has improved greatly, but for some reason the doctor still hasn't allowed him to go home. Even though Dad said that he really missed the cozy atmosphere of our house.I'm currently pushing a wheelchair with my father sitting on it. We're going to the hospital garden and meet the other patients. After breakfast, Dad said that he felt bored if he was constantly in the hospital room, so I decided to take him out.We met many people and greeted each other. Although we didn't know each other well, we didn't hesitate to chat."Just here, addison." Dad asked me to stop next to an empty park bench and asked me to sit down. He said I was too tired of walking and pushing his wheelchair, so he couldn't bear for me to keep walking. Though I had no problem with it at all, I was happy to be able to take dad out for
Addison’s POVI opened my eyes slowly and realized that I was currently lying on a hospital bed, as is normal when I have a severe headache that causes loss of consciousness. I stared at the ceiling of the room trying to remember what happened earlier. I was in the cafeteria and ...."Addison."That voice?Suddenly, I turned my head to my side where my father was looking sad and holding my hand very tightly. God, I had made you so worried about me. I was sure that he knew what was happening to me now and it made me feel useless. I mean, it wasn't the right time for you to find out."Addison, I know what happened to you. Why are you acting like this, keeping your true condition a secret from me? Hey, you didn't tell me what happened to you, and you let me look stupid by not knowing anything about you."I shook my head slowly. I think my eyes were already starting to get wet when I saw you crying. I want to get up but it feels like my body is still too weak to move. I didn't mean any ha
Damon’s POVI chose to go home after hearing Addison's request regarding the divorce agreement she had said the other day. I thought it was just a threat when she said she wanted to separate from me. Apparently she was serious about the divorce. Or, because she had already gotten Hayden as my replacement. I was so upset to find out that it was true.Even though I had found the best doctor to help cure her illness, hoping that Addison would recover as before because I intended to repair the marriage relationship between us after what I had done so far to her. But, in fact, he still insisted on getting a divorce.I exhaled harshly as I dropped my body on the single sofa. I'm at home now. Ever since Addison's father woke up from his coma, Addison was rarely at home. She was at the hospital more often, even staying overnight there. Making this house even more deserted as if it was uninhabited. After I got the information about my mother's past, I came back to this house more and tried to
Damon’s POVIn the morning, Jared was already at my house. I had just woken up, and hadn't gotten ready for work yet. So, I asked Jared to wait. I didn't sleep well last night, I had so much on my mind. Plus, Cora was always calling me and I was reluctant to return her phone calls. I wasn't in the mood to be bothered by anything. I don't know why he's always interrupting my time with his pampering, which I'm getting sick of.After showering and getting dressed, I went downstairs to the dining table where Jared was waiting with his coffee. He also made me a cup of black coffee. "Did you bring the files I asked for?" I asked when I was sitting across from him.Jared nods, then gets up from his seat and steps toward the front. Maybe he put the file in the living room. It wasn't long before Jared returned with the document in his hand. Then he placed the document on the table right in front of me. "This is the file you requested, Mr. Saunders."I pushed the remaining half cup of coffee to
Damon’s POVI watched Addison, who was reading one sentence after another in the divorce agreement. Addison seemed very focused, as if she didn't want to miss a single word. I knew this was what she wanted, to get away from me because she was fed up with everything I did to her. Even if I said that I was sorry, she wouldn't care about me. The love that once resided in her heart seemed to disappear. Even though I knew that Addison really loved me, that's what she used to say to me.I exhaled softly, imagining that soon we would be separated and not have any relationship anymore. Addison would be a free woman, while I would drown in a sea of regret that was all my own doing. There were so many things I shouldn't have done. If it ends up like this, maybe I won't do it.Addison lifted her face and spoke, "You're going to give thirty percent of your shares to me?" she asked like she couldn't believe that I would do that.I nodded. "I think it was worth it. The compensation money I gave you
Damon’s POVI quickly started the car engine to leave the hospital parking lot for the courthouse, where Jared was already meeting my lawyer. In the courthouse, I let my emotions out over the divorce. I still hadn't let go of Addison, but I couldn't help it. I didn't expect this reality to be so hard to accept.My vision seemed blurry as my eyes were wet from the tears that had pooled on my eyelids. I grunted in annoyance, realizing that I was being very whiny. Either I was crying over the divorce or realizing that I was going to lose Addison forever. I hope it doesn't happen.I pulled off the tie wrapped around my shirt collar and threw it onto the passenger seat next to me. I also undid the top two buttons of my shirt and my neck because it felt like I was being strangled.This divorce was making my emotions rise. I don't hate Addison for wanting all of this because I realize that this is my doing. If I hadn't indulged my ego, maybe none of this would have happened.A few minutes la
Damon’s POVAfter the conversation with Mr. Clarke, I immediately ran to Addison's hospital room excitedly. I knew I still had a chance to make things right with Addison, and I wouldn't waste it. I would also prove to everyone, especially Mr. Clarke and Addison's father, that I still deserved to make Addison happy.I also won't waste Mr. Clarke's sacrifice, who, with his kindness, let Addison go for me. I knew it was hard for him to decide for Addison.Arriving in front of Addison's hospital room, I let out a long breath, trying to strengthen my heart. Come on, Damon, you can do it!After that, I opened the door to the room and saw Addison, who happened to be staring at me, too. She was alone and seemed to have been crying. I knew that this was the right time to express my feelings to her, which I had experienced during the time she didn't remember me anymore.I stepped slowly to the center of the room and stopped. Addison was still looking at me without saying anything. She just look
Hayden’s POVI let out a long breath after walking out of Addison's hospital room with a horrible feeling. I stayed in front of the door long to calm myself down. I knew my decision had been well thought out after seeing Addison, who kept calling the man's name while in a trance. I foolishly let Addison go because I knew she couldn't get Damon's image out of her mind. I knew this was the right decision because I couldn't possibly keep a woman who still held the love of another man in her heart. Even though I felt my passion for Addison was more significant than anyone else, including Damon Saunders.When I felt a little better, I was about to leave this place and go home. However, my gaze fell on Damon, sitting in the corner of the hospital hallway as if waiting. I walked over to him. Damon looked at me as I headed towards him, then stood up from his seat.I was standing two steps before Damon with my gaze fixed on him. "I want to talk to you."Damon nodded his head. I walked first, a
Addison POVI was still surprised by what Hayden said. I didn't think he would say that now when I still didn't understand what was going on. Everything seemed very confusing to me. Then, with his silence, it was as if he didn't care about what Damon did to me.I shook my head quickly. "No, Hayden. That can't be happening. We just had a beautiful relationship. You know I'm happy with you..."Hayden retook my hand and squeezed it hard. His eyes looked very cold looking at me. What's with those eyes? Can't he look at me with a loving gaze?"Addison, you better be honest if you've been lying to yourself, and it's making you hurt more. Isn't that right?"I paused to digest Hayden's words, which seemed very painful if they were true. If so, I must have hurt Hayden a lot. I looked at Hayden and shook my head slowly. "I'm okay, Hayden. I feel fine."I was surprised to realize that my voice was stammering. Was I nervous?"I found out who you really love," Hayden spoke again.Suddenly, I raise
Addison’s POVI opened my eyes and smiled when I saw Hayden standing not far from the bed. Then, I felt something grasping my hand. Was it Dad? However, when I looked down to get a better look, it wasn't Dad but Damon. That, of course, surprised me a lot.Hayden just looked at me without wanting to come closer to me, so I knew the man who was holding my fingers was Damon. Shouldn't Hayden be angry?"Why is that man here?" I asked Hayden while pointing at Damon. However, Hayden remained silent and said nothing at all.Suddenly, Damon raised his head and smiled at me. "Addison."I looked at him in astonishment. How could Dad and Hayden let him be here? I looked back at Hayden, and he was still staring at me silently and showing no signs of preventing Damon.Damon moved closer and immediately hugged me. I was surprised by what he did. This really makes me not understand what's going on. Why is Damon here, and now he is hugging me? And Hayden, who is just silent as if he didn't see me, Da
Damon’s POVI really feel so broken at this point. I was so stupid to have done bad things to Addison all this time. I admit that no matter how much good I do, I won't be able to erase the sins I've committed against Addison.After I let her be happy with Mr. Clarke, I thought there wouldn't be any more bad things happening to her. Turns out I was very wrong. The disaster was Cora, who escaped my attention. I should have deterred Cora by what she did to Addison back in the day. I felt stupid for letting her wander around with a grudge in her heart. I would have made her disappear long ago if I had known Cora was after Addison.Jared informed me about the accident that happened to Addison, which made me angry. Plus, I was told that Cora was the culprit. Indeed, after I got an ultimatum from Jared to let Addison go, I didn't just let it go. I asked Jared for absolute conditions to keep monitoring Addison's condition. Jared said he would do it in a limited time. I promised him that if Ad
Hayden POVThe smile that appeared on Addison's face was extraordinary. She is really very beautiful when she smiles, and it makes me love her even more. We chose to sit on a park bench to enjoy the snacks we bought and canceled lunch at the restaurant."You have to finish all this food."I chuckled at her annoyance at the amount of food I had bought."Don't worry, I'll finish it. You know I eat a lot."Addison chuckled at my joke. "Yeah, I know. That's why if I make a cake or food for you, I don't worry because you have to finish it."I laughed out loud again."You know, Addison. Any food you make automatically becomes my favorite food."Addison's face turned red. I'm sure she blushed at my teasing words. Addison blushes easily when anyone compliments her. She really is a very innocent and naive woman.Addison only ate a little of the food we bought. I, on the other hand, couldn't finish it all and intended to take some home to give to Nataly.After enjoying lunch at the city park, w
Addison’s POVHayden looked sharply at Cora, and then Cora made an annoyed face at Hayden as if not accepting what Hayden had said to her.I felt uneasy now, worried that something might happen here because, at this moment Cora had stood up from her seat and stood facing Hayden. Cora's face looked very angry as she prepared to reply to Hayden's words."Don't be so confident, Mr. Clarke. Because a man who is overconfident in his words will eventually bend the knee before me." Again, Cora said that with great confidence.I smiled faintly, realizing that Cora's attitude was more courageous, and I felt very confident in herself rather than the judgment of others.Hayden smiled sarcastically at Cora. "You're the one who shouldn't be confident, Miss Hills. Because someone like you who has nothing can be destroyed very easily."Cora's chest seemed to deflate at Hayden's words, which made her even more annoyed. I can see that the muscles around Cora's face are tense. I'm sure her temper will
Addison’s POV After Hayden's departure, I walked into the room with a happy look. Yes, I am very happy right now. How could I not? I felt loved so much by Hayden. I also felt euphoria in me that seemed to explode, and the butterflies in my stomach flew around very cheerfully. Oh, is this what it feels like to be in love? It felt amazing, and I loved it. I imagined Hayden over and over again, the moment he kissed me so passionately, touching me so gently. Hayden really treated me very well and affectionately. But on the other hand, I wanted to show Damon how much I was loved by a man like Hayden, not a man like him who couldn't appreciate me as a partner. Suddenly, I shook my head quickly. "What do I have to do with him? I'm determined not to remember him anymore." Remembering Damon made my facial expression become grim. It seemed like that guy was having a bad effect on my life. Maybe I should just remember Hayden, because if I remember Hayden my face will definitely turn red and
Addison’w POVI opened my eyes slowly, and I saw Hayden's face looking at me. I blushed. "What are you doing?" I moved behind him as I remembered what happened between him and me last night. I was embarrassed."Hey, why are you turning away from me, Addison?" Hayden grabbed my shoulders and pulled my body back to look at him. Didn't he realize how embarrassing he was making me look?Finally, we faced each other again, Hayden's hand smoothing my messy-looking hair. I still vividly remember what we did last night, and it makes me look like a complete idiot. We were adults, and it was natural for us to get in touch with each other. However, for me, being in front of her was very embarrassing."Are you mad at me about last night?" Hayden asked me cautiously.I shook my head softly. "Why should I be mad if I enjoyed it too."Hayden gave a small chuckle. "Addison."He called out to me. Then I looked at him without asking."I want to get more serious with you. I know, I'll wait until you're
