Heath’s anguished scream tore through the night sky, thick with despair and regret.He could only watch, helpless, as the woman he loved slipped away like a dry leaf caught in the wind—carried off into the darkness, swallowed by the unforgiving sea.The splash that followed echoed like a blade plunging straight into his heart. Every drop of blood in his veins turned to ice.Then, without hesitation, he leapt in after her.By the time Steve rushed over, Heath had already disappeared into the black water.Panic surged in Steve’s chest, but he forced himself to stay calm. He barked orders at the security crew, calling for backup. Within seconds, they were lowering a rescue boat, guards scrambling aboard in life jackets, flashlights in hand.But the lavish lights of the yacht reached only so far—the rest of the ocean remained shrouded in thick, ominous dark. There was no sign of Prisley. No sign of Heath.The music had stopped.Guests gathered, murmuring in confusion and fear.“What happ
Heath pulled Prisley tightly into his arms, letting her cry tears of joy against his chest.It took her a moment to recover from the overwhelming surprise.She leaned back slightly and gave him a playful nudge, her voice filled with mock annoyance, but her eyes sparkled with delight.“You! Honestly! You kept it so well hidden—not even a hint?”She held up her hand, the diamond ring catching the light as she lightly tapped his chest. Tears still clung to her lashes, making her look even more delicate, utterly radiant.Heath took her hand and brought it to his lips, planting a tender kiss on her fingers. His voice was low, warm, and overflowing with affection.“Silly girl. That’s what surprises are for. If I told you, it wouldn’t be special anymore.”He brushed her hair gently, his gaze never leaving her face.Just then, a cheerful voice chimed in, cutting through the moment.“Oh, Prisley, don’t be mad at him!”It was Jennifer, gliding over in a champagne-colored evening gown, her face
Spencer’s condition had continued to improve—faster than anyone had expected.Each day, he recovered more fragments of memory. Moments he had shared with Prisley began to return to him, like pearls rising from the depths of a once-lost sea.The doctors were optimistic. They said he would soon be discharged and could begin his rehabilitation at home. Hearing that, Prisley finally allowed herself a sigh of relief.That week, Heath suddenly told her he’d need to travel abroad for a few days—an important business negotiation, he said.Prisley, though reluctant to see him go, was so preoccupied at the hospital that she didn’t question it. She simply kissed him goodbye and wished him luck.Two days later, to her surprise, Heath showed up at the hospital. After a brief visit with Spencer, he turned to Prisley.“I have a dinner event tonight,” he said with a soft smile. “Something quite formal—I’d like you to come with me.”Prisley was taken aback but nodded. She picked out a pale lilac gown
Days melted into weeks, and everything seemed to be progressing smoothly.Spencer continued his anti-cancer treatments, and with Prisley's devoted help, poring over photos together and listening to her shared stories, he began to retrieve small fragments of his memory.This steady progress brought a newfound lightness to both Heath and Prisley's spirits each day.While Prisley's focus remained entirely on Spencer, Heath's secretly planned proposal ceremony and grand wedding were nearing completion.To ensure perfection, Heath had consulted all of Prisley's colleagues and close friends for their input, with Jennifer being his primary confidante.Of course, Prisley remained blissfully unaware.She only knew Heath was busy every day, but no longer being with the company, she chose not to inquire further.One day, Prisley wore an old dress from years ago to the hospital to visit Spencer.The moment she stepped in, she noticed Spencer's gaze fixed on her, brimming with excitement."Good mo
Days passed in a quiet, uneventful rhythm.Prisley continued her daily visits to the hospital, accompanying Spencer through his treatments, chatting with him, and helping him with his memory recovery.At the office, Heath wasn't particularly engrossed in his usual work.Instead, a constant stream of different individuals came and went from his office, delivering various proposals and samples.At a glance, it was clear these weren't related to the company's typical market procurement.Steve pushed open the door, a look of suspicion on his face, to find two salespeople meticulously presenting something in Heath's office.Several display boards, adorned with various renderings, stood beside the desk.The expansive desktop was covered by open design catalogs, and beside them, an open jewelry box held dazzling, glittering gemstones.Heath stood before the renderings, examining them intently while listening to the salespeople's presentation.Noticing Steve, Heath dismissed the salespeople.
Spencer stared at the doorway, a quiet anticipation building within him.Doctors and nurses moved in and out, a constant stream, yet he couldn't quite pinpoint who it was he longed to see.A persistent feeling told him someone significant was missing.Their image remained a blur in his mind, but he knew, instinctively, that they were important.He strained to recall, but the memories refused to solidify.Spencer sighed, the doctor's words echoing in his head: his memory truly was gone.Just then, Dr. Scott approached, a reassuring smile on his face."Spencer, you're looking well," the doctor said, holding some charts a nurse had just handed him. "All your vitals are better than we'd anticipated."Spencer relaxed slightly. "So, the tumor in my brain – is it all gone?"The doctor chuckled. "The surgery was a complete success, and the tumor hadn't spread at all. I was able to remove it completely. However, it did affect some of the surrounding functional areas.""That's why I feel like s
