"The situation right now is as good as it gets. The government even offered to move Hugh to a better hospital and bring in some foreign experts for a consultation. But honestly, I''m well aware of Hugh''s condition. We''ve exhausted every possible option. At this point, it''s all up to fate whether he wakes up or not."


    ra nced at the chart hanging on the door. The guy''s name was Hugh, and he looked to be about twenty-five with incredibly handsome features. She couldn''t quite figure out what her pre-amnesia self had to do with this man or why she was shelling out big bucks to keep him here.


    Calix''s eyes were filled with such sincerity and gratitude that she couldn''t bring herself to spill the real reason for her visit.


    "I just dropped by to check in. Nothing else is on my agenda today. I''ll be backter. Take care of yourself."


    "Sure thing. You take care too. Eat something. You look like you could use it."


    As ra walked out of the hospital and headed back to her car, she heard someone trailing behind her.


    Today, Simon was like a quiet little shadow, barely saying a word. Now, he couldn''t hold it in any longer. "Who the heck is this Hugh? ra, how many secrets are you keeping from me? Were you pretending to chase after me while getting tangled up with other guys? First Dn, now Hugh? You''re such a yer!"


    His usatory tone left ra feelingpletely baffled. "Simon, do I need to remind you? You''re about to get married. We''ve already had our talk, and it''s time for both of us to move on."


    Simon mmed his hand against the car door. "If it was all just an act, then our talk meant nothing! I swear, once I get to the bottom of things, we''ll settle this."


    His eyes were bloodshot as if he''d been seriously rattled.


    Back in the day, everyone in town knew ra was hopelessly devoted to him. She had chased after him for years. Now, he was starting to suspect that the woman he underestimated might have been sneaking around with someone else. It made him uneasy, stirring up a dark, destructive urge within him.


    The disdain on ra''s face only made his eyes redden further.


    "You need to take what I told you in the office seriously. Be careful with Dn. He''s not as pure-hearted as he seems. Dn climbed to his position by stepping over a lot of people. He''s wrecked many lives. ra, if you think he''s a good guy, it''s all just an act."


    Simon was Dn''s nephew, and listening to him badmouth Dn like this was shocking.


    Since Dn took over Ferguson Corporation, their stock had skyrocketed. Even after his ident, everyone still saw him as a business genius. Plus, despite all the times she''d crossed Dn, he never held a grudge, showing incredible character.


    He never trashed anyone behind their back, especially not Simon. Simon had no business running his mouth here.


    ra hit the gas, not in the mood to hear another word.


    Simon stood there, feeling as if ice water had been poured through his veins. He hated himself. He never wanted to believe ra''s amnesia was real and did things that only pushed her away. Now, she wouldn''t listen to a thing he said, and he was already losing the race.


    Meanwhile, Dn, the crafty devil, had been carefully crafting an image of innocence and kindness, making ra trust himpletely.


    ''Damn it!'' Simon cursed.
