NovelEnglishRachel was taken aback by Victor’s intimate tone, which was a first for her.Her expression changed, but Victor didn’t seem to
notice.
In a natural gesture, he took her hand and asked, "Ivan toldthat you had a cold.Is your condition improving?"
‘Huh?’ Rachel grimaced as she saw Victor’s worried expression and wondered what was happening.It was as if the guy in front
of her had transformed into someone else.
"Yes, I’m much better now," she replied after withdrawing her hand, not knowing what Victor was thinking, "That’s great."
Her hand caught Victor’s attention.His eyes darkened in a split second.
Taking her wrist in his, he inquired, "Where’s your ring?"
"Ring?" Rachel asked, her expression glum.
Victor’s grip on her hand was so firm that it caused her hand to ache.
"Our wedding ring," he replied.
Rachel then remembered that Carolyn took her to the jewelry store to get wedding rings shortly after Rachel and Victor were
married.
Rachel had been anticipating Victor’s return hfor stin order to present him with the rings that night.
But that night, Victor didn’t chome.
Instead, a contract was sent to her.
When he saw Rachel have her ring on, Victor insulted her and tossed away the previous one she got him.
Victor instantly relaxed his grasp after seeing that her wrist was crimson from his holding her too firmly.
Rachel placed her hand behind her back.
Angry because of the agony in her wrist, she felt pissed off.She scowled.
"Mr.Sullivan, you have a terrible memory.Isn’t it six years since we lost our wedding rings? Moreover, you and I..."
"Ahem!"
Before Rachel could complete her sentence, Carson, who had been resting against the door, started to cough.
Both Victor’s and Rachel’s gazes turned to him.
Carson grinned sheepishly as he touched the tip of his nose and said, "My saliva almost killed me."
He coughed again as if to prove that he was telling the truth.
A nurse pushed the trolley inside the room after she knocked on the door.
"Huh?"
Carson’s voice beca little hoarse after he coughed too hard just now.
But when he heard what the nurse had to say, his eyes glowed.
"Rachel, let’s head outside.Have no tconstraints, miss."
Carson stepped forward as soon as he finished his words and reached out to grab Rachel’s hand.
Carson’s hand stopped in the air as he lifted his hand and saw how Victor gazed at him with piercing eyes.
He immediately removed his hand and touched his neck.
"It’s only right if we leave the room to them.Right, Rachel?"
Rachel narrowed her eyes at Victor and then at Carson, her face expressionless.She wasn’t dumb.
Judging by Carson’s demeanor, she instantly deduced that he had interrupted her on purpose just now.
She was even more perplexed by Victor’s statements.
He seemed to have no recollection of what had transpired.
Victor appeared to believe that they were in a relationship and that they were in love.
Rachel didn’t question Carson.She nodded and walked with him out of the room.
Rachel turned to face him as soon as the door to the bedroom was shut and asked, "Well, telleverything I need to know,
now!"
Carson was taken aback.
"You noticed it?"
At him, Rachel snorted.
Carson didn’t anticipate Victor to act so differently when he met Rachel, and he even brought up the subject of their wedding
ring.
He had no alternative but to feign coughing when he realized that Rachel was going to tell him of their long-ago separation. He
gave Rachel a glass of water and advised her, "Drink swater first; it may help you relax."
In order to de-stress further, he also poured a glass of water for himself.
Rachel didn’t utter a word as she waited patiently for Carson to talk.
Carson grimaced as he realized he hadn’t yet fully digested the news.
Slowly, he put down the glass after looking into Rachel’s eyes.He finally opened his mouth and said something after a while.
"It seems that Vic has lost his memories."
Rachel’s brow furrowed as if trying to hide her disbelief.
Her tone dropped as she said, "Carson, this isn’t funny at all."
She assumed Carson was joking.
"Honestly, I’m not exaggerating," Carson remarked.
"I know that seems a bit silly, but that’s how it is.You are the only one he remembers now."Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Carson regarded Rachel with concern before continuing, "He still remembers he is the CEO of the Sullivan Group.But other than
you, he doesn’t remember anyone else, including Lukas.Because of the trauma to his brain caused by his fall from the second
floor, he has suffered from memory loss, according to the doctor.He not only lost his memories, but he also has memory issues."
Everything was apparent now.
When Victor just saw her, he altered his attitude toward her and asked her where her wedding ring was.
To him, they had never divorced and he was in love with her.
As far as Rachel was concerned, it was absurd.
"This is an awful lie, Carson."
Rachel scoffed and rose up, her face contorted into a frown.
"Victor despisesand has cclose to killingseveral times.Now you’re tellinghe was hit in the head and has no
recollection of anything except me? He still believes we are in love, despite the fact that we are divorced? I may have believed it
if it were someone else.However, I am aware of how much he dislikesand how much I dislike him.As far as I’m concerned,
you should keep this kind of deception to sother ladies."
Rachel was on her way out as soon as she finished her sentence.
"Believe it or not, he doesn’t detest you as much as you think.To be honest, he loves you.He really does."
Rachel slowed down.
Carson proceeded to the safe in the living room, used her fingerprint to unlock it, and then opened it.He pulled something from it
and gave it to Rachel.
Conce Rachel took a look at it.It was a blue diamond.
She noticed a speck of red in the diamond.It was absolutely stunning.
She had no trouble identifying the diamond.
It was the Beloved—the diamond inset in the necklace that Victor purchased for her at an auction four years ago at a hefty price.
She narrowly escaped drowning at the time.She removed the necklace and put it with the body in order to convince Victor that
the body found was hers.
"For the past four years, he’s been carrying this diamond around with him.He hasn’t let it go in 1, 460 days,"
Carson added.
"He was still clutching this when he was transported to the hospital in a coma."
