Daddy Doesn't Remember Mommy Chapter 32
CHAPTER 32: Three Steps ForwardElodie's POVA few days after the accident the hospital sounds had become familiar. The beeping, the soft shuffle of nurses in the hallway and the distant roll of a cart. The pain was still there but it no longer swallowed everything the way it had right after surgery. I could bend my fingers more easily now and could sit a little higher against the pillows without the room spinning. Food stayed down and I stayed awake longer before exhaustion pulled me under again.A physical therapist arrived mid-morning with a calm smile and a clipboard.“Ms. Moreau, we need to start gentle work today. Nothing dramatic, it's just getting the body used to moving again.”I nodded, though my stomach tightened. The doctor had said the first forty-eight hours were critical. Those had passed but now came the part I both wanted and dreaded.“We’ll start simple,” she said. “Sit on the edge of the bed first. Use your arms. Don’t rush the leg.”Sitting already made my leg t

CHAPTER 31: Cracks in the CurtainRebecca's POVI left Metro General with my shoulders tight and my mind still stuck on the doctor’s voice. Elodie had survived and was awake but the rest of the news sat heavily in my chest. The doctor gave no clear timeline or a promise about the stage. Only careful words about rehabilitation and the next forty-eight hours.I bought a coffee on the way out and barely tasted it. In the taxi I stared out the window while the city moved past in a blur. Every conversation I had ever had with Elodie about pushing through pain replayed in my head. The way she brushed off fatigue to the way she insisted she was fine even when her focus slipped. I should have stopped her the last time she left the studio looking exhausted. Now all I could do was hold the production together long enough for her to come back.The driver glanced at me in the mirror once but said nothing. I was grateful for the quiet.When I walked into Lincoln Center the air felt different. C

CHAPTER 30: First LightElodie's POVThe beeping came first. It was steady and sharp. Then came the ache running through my body in dull waves and settling deepest in my leg. .I opened my eyes slowly and saw a white ceiling, mild lightning and machines beside the bed. Bandages held me in place and for a moment I didn’t know where I was.I tried to move my foot but pain shot up my leg so hard I sucked in a breath. My fingers twitched against the sheet as something cold pressed against my arm. It was an IV. The strong smell of antiseptic, ozed in the air.Then the headlights returned in my mind. For a brief moment, I heard the screech of tires, the impact and everything after that stayed blank.A doctor stepped in with a nurse beside him. He checked the monitors then looked at me.“Ms. Moreau, you’re awake. That’s good. How’s the pain on a scale of one to ten?”My voice came out rough. “Seven. Maybe eight. What happened to me?”“You were hit by a vehicle. The emergency surgery was su

CHAPTER 29: Soft Notes and Quiet LiesReese's POVI left the office later than I meant to. The lobby was almost empty when I finally came out and a security guard nodded as I passed. Outside, the city lights blurred a little from fatigue. I didn’t feel like explaining myself to Betty over the phone. I was too tired for pleading or long excuses and I quickly figured a gift would smooth things over faster.I stopped at a high-end jewelry store near the avenue. The place still had its lights on and soft music played inside. A clerk in a dark suit looked up as I walked in and immediately straightened. He tried to compose himself but I noticed how tired and exhausted he looked. “Good evening, sir. Looking for anything specific tonight?”“yes, diamond earrings. I need something elegant and not too large but of the highest quality.”He smiled professionally and led me to a glass case. “Of course. We have several new pieces sir. May I ask the occasion?”“Just something for my fiancée.”“Un

CHAPTER 28: Quiet PlansBetty's POVI left Bennett Technologies with a smile still on my face. Reese had actually smiled today. It was faint and brief but it was real. I held onto that as I walked to the car. The afternoon light felt a little softer because of it. Once the product launch was over, things between us would settle. That I was sure of.He just needed the pressure to ease. The long hours, the closed-door meetings and the constant tension in his shoulders, those would pass. Then we could go back to the way things were supposed to be if also he forgot about that goddamn ballerina he was talking about. The thought of the ballerina woman made me shake. What if he remembered her eventually? What if Reese has been seeing her? What was going to happen to me? No. I wasn't going to let that happen. Reese is mine and I wasn't going to let some woman, who's job was jumping in some colorful panties to rob me off.Never. I had to do something.The drive to the foundation took longe

CHAPTER 27: Unsettled EchoesReese's POVI blinked, realizing the words had left my mouth out loud.Betty looked at me, still holding the coffee cup. “What did you just say?” she asked, staring at me with wide and scared eyes. I straightened in the chair and forced a casual tone. “Nothing important. I passed an accident last night on the way home. A young woman got hit by a car. I don’t know why but I’ve been wondering if she survived.”Betty’s expression softened as she set the cup down and gave me a warm smile.“You’re always softer than you like to admit, you know that? Maybe you should have become a doctor instead of a CEO with all that quiet concern.”I managed a faint smile. “Not likely sweetheart. I hate hospitals.”She laughed lightly and leaned against the desk. “Still it’s nice to see that side of you. You hide it so well most days and sometimes I forget it’s even there.”“I didn’t mean to bring it up.”“I’m glad you did.” She reached over and brushed a speck of lint from
