Knock!

Knock!

“Camelia, open the door!” he shouted.

Daren stood in front of Camelia’s apartment door. Not long after, the door opened, revealing a woman in a sexy nightgown.

Camelia leaned casually against the doorframe, her thin dress falling along the curves of her body as if it had been deliberately chosen to weaken anyone’s defenses—especially Daren’s.

“What do you want now?” Daren’s voice was restrained. “Why did you call and send messages like that?” he asked angrily.

    Knock!Knock!“Camelia, open the door!” he shouted.Daren stood in front of Camelia’s apartment door. Not long after, the door opened, revealing a woman in a sexy nightgown.Click!Camelia leaned casually against the doorframe, her thin dress falling along the curves of her body as if it had been deliberately chosen to weaken anyone’s defenses—especially Daren’s.“What do you want now?” Daren’s voice was restrained. “Why did you call and send messages like that?” he asked angrily.Camelia smiled faintly and stepped closer. “Because you didn’t come,” she replied lightly. “Even though I’ve been waiting, Darling.”“We’ve talked about this before, Camelia!” Daren exhaled sharply. “You have to be patient. Don’t demand anything right now. I already explained—Liora is still sick. She hasn’t fully recovered yet, and on top of that… she’s lost her memory. Can’t you understand that?”Camelia stopped right in front of him, the distance between them unbearably close. Her fingers lifted, brushing

    The car sped away from the hospital in a heavy silence. A light rain splashed against the windshield, blurring the scenery outside, as if reflecting the emotions inside the vehicle.Daren drove with a tense expression. His jaw was clenched, his eyes fixed straight ahead. Beside him, Liora leaned weakly against the seat, staring out the window without truly seeing anything.“Darling, what are you looking at?” Daren asked, trying to break the silence.However, Liora ignored him. She continued to stare outside, turning her back slightly toward Daren.“Are you tired?” Daren asked again, finally breaking the quiet. “If you are, we can stop for a while.”Liora slowly shook her head. “I’m not tired!”The answer was short and cold. This was not the Liora he knew.Daren glanced at her briefly while keeping his focus on the road. “Are you still angry?” he asked cautiously.“I’m not angry,” Liora replied calmly. “I just feel like something about you has changed, Daren.”Daren let out a breath, h

    “Darling, do you want to take a shower?” Daren’s voice sounded gentle as he stood beside the bed. “Come on, let me help you.”Liora looked up. Her face instantly grew warm.“O-oh, no need,” she refused quickly. “I can do it myself.”Daren smiled and stepped a little closer. “You’re still sick. Let me help you, alright? I’m your husband.”“Eh, no,” Liora instinctively pulled the blanket a little higher. Her gaze immediately shifted to the nurse standing not far away. “Nurse, please help me take a shower.”The nurse hesitated for a moment, then nodded politely.“A shower … oh, alright, Ma’am.”Daren fell silent for a brief moment. A slight disappointment crept into his chest, but when he saw Liora’s awkward and shy expression, a smile finally appeared. To him, his wife’s behavior looked cute—adorable, even.“Alright,” he murmured softly. “I’ll wait here.”Not long after, Liora went into the bathroom with the nurse. The door closed.Daren let out a long breath. He then sat down on the so

    Daren’s footsteps were heard again as he entered the hospital room. The door closed softly behind him, but his expression was far from calm. His gaze went blank for a moment, his breathing still uneven—as if something had just happened outside and he wasn’t ready to process it yet.Liora, who had been leaning against the headboard, immediately turned to look at him. Her brows knit slightly.“What’s wrong with you?” she asked softly, yet clearly. “Why do you suddenly look angry … and scared?”Daren flinched. Only then did he realize he had been too lost in his thoughts. He quickly stepped closer, forcing a smile that felt stiff.“I’m fine,” he answered quickly. Too quickly. “I just … don’t like it when Ethan interferes. This is our moment. I just want to be alone with you.”Liora looked at him closely. Not just seeing, but trying to read him. Something about Daren had changed—she could feel it. The way he stood too close, the way his fingers gripped the edge of the blanket as if he was

    "I hope Ethan hasn’t told my secret yet," Daren prayed. "Don’t let Liora find out. I don’t want her to hate me."Daren’s steps stopped in front of the hospital room door.He took a deep breath before finally opening it. His mind was filled with the same thought over and over again—had Ethan told her everything, or not at all?Click.The door opened. Daren’s steps felt heavy. But the moment he heard his name, his gaze immediately turned toward Liora.“Daren?”Liora was leaning against the headboard, her arms folded across her chest. Her expression was flat, a hint of boredom she couldn’t hide. Since earlier, she had felt as if she was being watched—and it made her uncomfortable.“You took so long,” she said bluntly. “You said you were just going out for a moment to buy a drink. Where did you go?”Daren stepped inside. His eyes immediately caught sight of Ethan sitting on the sofa, his back resting casually against it, a phone in his hand. At first glance, he looked busy—but his presenc

    Click.The door to the hospital room slowly opened.Hearing that sound, Liora spoke immediately.“Darling, where have you been?” Liora murmured, still focused on the food in front of her. “I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” she added.Without Liora realizing it, the one who entered was not Daren.Not hearing any response while she was still lowering her head and lifting a small spoon to her mouth, she reflexively raised her head.The smile that had been hanging on her face instantly faded when she saw Ethan’s figure— not her husband, Daren.“You?” Liora’s brows furrowed. Her voice was soft, full of confusion. “Ethan … why are you the one coming in? Where is Daren?”Ethan fell silent, his eyes fixed on her beautiful face, which still looked pale.“She’s still beautiful, even though she’s pale,” Ethan smiled inwardly.“Damn it, she doesn’t remember me,” Ethan thought irritably. “If only she remembered me, I feel like I’d want to hug her and kiss her.”Liora looked forward, hoping t
