Chapter 25
The next day, Norton took me to the hospital for a follow–up.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The doctor said the blood clot in my brain was slowly dissipating, and I might soon regain my memory.
In an instant, Norton’s face turned pale.
On the way home, he held my hand tightly, not saying a word.
“Norton, what’s wrong?” I shook his hand.
Suddenly, he pulled me into a deserted alley and pressed me against the wall, kissing me wildly.
“Doreen, please never leave me, okay?”
With that, he kissed me again.
My face flushed, and I gently pushed him away.
“Let’s go home first…”
Norton’s face was still grim as he held me in place.
Holding my face with both hands, he pleaded, “Don’t reject me, babe.”
I blinked, feeling like he was about to cry.
Atright, I relaxed and let him kiss me.
As soon as we entered the house, Norton embraced me and kissed me again. He picked me up and carried me to the bedroom.
Just when I thought something would happen, he suddenly stopped without warning.
I didn’t understand why. Since I woke up, Norton hadn’t been intimate with me.
He used to cling to me every couple of days.
Norton had been kissing my ear, but he stopped and held me silently.
“I’m sorry, Doreen. I’m so sorry…”
I didn’t understand at the time.
It wasn’t until I remembered everything that I realized Norton wasn’t uninterested; he just thought I was dirty.
The atmosphere was tense. I let him hold me, not knowing what to say.
Until Norton’s phone rang.
He glanced at it, his expression freezing for a moment, then got up to take the call in the living room.
Driven by curiosity, I walked to the door.
I was curious about the call.
Norton’s voice came through faintly.
“Stop bothering me. From beginning to end, I’ve only loved her.”
“Even if that day comes, I would rather die than leave her.”
His words were too fragmented for me to understand anything.
But my doubts deepened until Regina appeared.
That day, Norton seemed anxious before leaving the house.
As usual, he instructed me, “Sweetie, wait for me at home. There’s an urgent matter at the office. I’ll be back soon.” He emphasized again, “Don’t go out.”
He picked up the car keys, leaned over, and kissed me.
The sky outside was gloomy, a sign of an impending storm.
I suddenly felt uneasy and grabbed his hand, saying, “You need to come back quickly.“.
Norton smiled, “Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be back soon.”
He freed his hand from mine and walked towards the entrance.
I stood there watching his back. He left hurriedly, unlike usual, without turning to look at me before opening the door.
I felt a bit down, but then I saw the car keys on the coffee table.
Norton had taken the wrong keys. I quickly grabbed them and rushed out to catch him.
The elevator led directly to the parking lot, and I quickly found his car. Just as I took a step, I froze, staring at the two people inside the car.
Norton was kissing a woman.
When the woman’s face came into full view, I felt something snap in my mind.
The doctor had mentioned that a certain shock could trigger the immediate return of my memories. Though unlikely, it was possible.
As soon as Regina appeared, I remembered everything.
