"Doctor! She''s awake! The patient in Room 7 is awake,e quickly!"
Amelia, who had been keeping watch by the bed, grabbed the call button and
urgently summoned the medical staff.
Only then did she turn back to L. "L, are you okay?"
L stared at her nkly, silent.
Herck of response made Amelia uneasy. "Are you feeling unwell? The doctor
will be here soon, don''t worry."
L shook her head slightly, her brows knitting together. "I''m fine... but who are
you?"
There was genuine confusion in her eyes, yet Amelia''s face was filled with
concern as if they were close friends.
Amelia froze, staring at her in disbelief. "What... L, what did you just say?"
L''s frown deepened. "Who are you? Do we know each other well?"
"I..." Amelia waspletely stunned.
Just then, she sensed movement behind her and turned around.
Kieran had entered the room, his arm in a sling, a cup of warm water in his free
hand.
The moment L saw him, the wariness in her expression eased slightly. "You''re
here."
Amelia snapped her head back toward L, even more shocked. "You recognize
him... but not me?"
L struggled to sit up, bracing herself. "Of course. He''s my husband."
Amelia let out a short, disbelievingugh. "What? Are you messing with me?"
"I''m not. I really don''t know you." L shook her head sincerely.
Then she turned to Kieran and gave him a soft, faint smile. "How''s our daughter?"
Now, it wasn''t just Amelia who was stunned-Kieran had also frozen in ce.
"Daughter?" His lips pressed into a thin line.
L nodded without hesitation. "Yes. I rescued our daughter first, but after that, I
was hit by something, and I don''t remember anything after that.
"But really, Kieran, what took you so long? Our daughter and I were in danger,
why didn''t youe sooner? I was even stabbed in the stomach..."
As she spoke, she reached down to touch her abdomen, only to find nothing
there. She froze, her expression shifting to confusion.
"Did I remember wrongly?" She blinked, utterly lost.
Kieran stepped closer and gently cupped her face. "It was a chaotic situation. It''s
normal to mix things up."
L lifted her gaze, her eyes turning
red when she saw his injured arm
"But you''re okay, that''s all that
matters. It must have been God''s
protection."
As soon as she said that, her brows furrowed slightly.
God will protect you... He will protect your husband...
Who had said that?
L frowned again. "Where''s our daughter? How is she?"
Kieran was silent for a moment
before offering her a gentle smile
"Don''t worry. The doctors are
checking on her. Once they confirm
she''s fine, they''ll bring her to you."
Then he nced at Amelia. "She''s a friend''s daughter. She happened to be here,
let her stay with you for a bit. I''ll go check on our daughter."
Amelia opened her mouth, then closed it again. She wanted to say something, but
in the end, she gave up.
"Yeah, I''m his friend''s daughter. So
that makes us friends too. You
probably hit your head, which is why
your memory is a little off. But we''ve
known each other for a long time.
I''m Amelia Joyce, does that ring a
bell?"
L met her hopeful gaze, hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head.
Then, looking a little lost, she turned to Kieran with big, innocent eyes, as if
silently asking for help.
She looked so adorably helpless that Kieran couldn''t help but chuckle.
"You''re both friends. I''ll be back soon."
L nodded obediently. "Come back quickly, okay? I feel a little scared on my
own."
Standing off to the side, Amelia wore a mocking smile. "What, do you think I''m
gonna eat you?" she thought.
Kieran gave a small nod and left the room, heading straight to the attending
physician''s office.
At the same time, he instructed Cole to investigate everything L had gone
through that day.
What was this about a daughter?
Now alone, L and Amelia stared at each other for a few seconds.
Finally, Amelia broke the silence. "Are you seriously ying some weird joke on
me? This amnesia thing isn''t funny.
"And more importantly, why did you forget about me but not Uncle Kieran? How
could you let yourself be blinded by a handsome face?"
