Chapter 109 — Agreement is Agreement

last update Last Updated: 2025-12-13 23:59:28

Mrs. Jasper’s POV

“Doctor, you mean Brad went into amnesia as a result of the coma?” I said, unable to hide the crack that slipped into my voice despite my best efforts.

I had returned to the hospital with relief still sitting heavy in my chest after hearing that Brad had finally opened his eyes. That alone had felt like a miracle. But standing in the doctor’s office now, listening to the rest of the explanation, the relief slowly unraveled into something colder and sharper.

“Yes,” the doctor replied calmly. “Some cases present like this. Post-traumatic amnesia is not unusual after a prolonged coma, especially when there has been head trauma.”

I lowered myself into the chair opposite him, suddenly unsure of my legs.

He continued, reading my silence. “Like it’s proven medically, there are still chances that he will regain his memories. This isn’t permanent in most cases. But recovery will depend on several factors.”

I leaned forward slightly. “Factors like what?”

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 108 — Yeah, he is in Amnesia!

    Nicole’s POVI noticed the slight uneasiness on the doctor and the nurses’ faces at a particular time while they were examining Brad, but I couldn’t place my head around what it was exactly. I think something was off as their facial expressions said it all — that silent exchange between medical professionals when they’ve just discovered something they don’t want to reveal too quickly.But whatever it was, I knew I’d hear it soon.When they finished the examination and stepped out of the room, one nurse stayed inside with Brad — maybe to monitor him closely. As soon as the doctor walked out and saw me waiting right there, he said, “Nicole, please… you need to follow me to my office.”My heart gave a small jump.He had never called me by my name before — it was always “young lady.”For him to suddenly personalize it meant the situation was serious, sensitive, or something he didn’t want to disclose in the hallway where anyone could overhear.“Okay, doctor… it’s fine,” I murmured and fol

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 107 — Trying to recall things.

    Brad’s POVFor what seemed like forever, it seemed like I wasn't just in control of anything about me.Just this heavy darkness that felt like thick water, like I was floating somewhere I couldn’t see or touch. Sometimes it felt like I was sinking, sometimes like I was just… suspended. No days. No nights. Just one long stretch of nothing that refused to end.But in between that nothing, there were moments.A warm pressure on my fingers.A soft voice is always near my ear.Someone saying things to me like it mattered.A light squeeze on my hand whenever the darkness tried to pull harder.But you know the worst part? I couldn’t move and I couldn’t answer either. But somewhere inside that fog, I felt it. The touches. The tiny tremors of someone crying near me. A voice that sounded like it was trying not to break.I didn’t know who and I didn’t know why all of this was happening. But somehow, I knew I wasn’t completely alone.Then, one moment was different.Instead of floating, my body su

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 106 — He Is Out of Coma!

    Nicole’s POV“Brad, it’s tomorrow already and you still haven’t opened your eyes or even spoken to anyone.” I whispered, brushing my thumb over the back of his hand like it would magically wake his nerves up. “I know your back must be aching from lying down all these while. You can do everyone and yourself a favour by responding to treatment fast so that you can at least get out of the coma.”I had said that same line a hundred times, maybe more. Sometimes in a whisper, sometimes in a shaky little laugh just to stay sane.Fast forward two months.I was right there again on his hospital bed’s left side, the chair that had practically molded to my shape by now. Mellisa was at work today, so it was just me. Honestly, it had been that way for most of these weeks. She came when she could, which I appreciated, but this room… this room had become my own tiny universe.Somehow I had managed to juggle lectures, assignments, and still show up here once in two days — or every day if my mind woul

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 105 — 3 whole months?

    Nicole’s POVAfter seeing how helpless Brad looked and all, in his condition right there in the bed; all I wished, hoped and prayed was that he gets well soon. Because honestly, even if he didn't care to continue our relationship after this, then it's fine. Besides no one will wish his worst enemy this, let alone a man that I once loved.I sat there, feeling less beside the machines that were literally helping him breathe. His chest rose and fell, but it wasn’t… his normal breathing. It was slow, dragged, like the air had to fight before it got in.Because even though the nurse tried to give us their words with regards to his health, it could only take the Grace of God for Brad to survive because I know for security reasons, they might not really say how complicated his condition is at the moment.“Nicole… sit,” Mellisa whispered, gently pressing my shoulder down when she noticed I’d stood again without even realising.“I can’t just sit,” I muttered. “Look at him. This is not… this is

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 104 — Mrs Jasper wouldn't seize from being a bit*h.

    Nicole’s POV“I’m surprised to see you,” Mrs Jasper said, and I was surprised that she managed to keep her words slightly polite. “You weren’t on the list, you know right?”For a second, I thought my knees would give way and my body already knew it. My shoulders tightened on their own, like my bones were bracing for impact.Nicole, don’t shake. Don’t give her that.“I… I’m not here to cause trouble, ma'am.” I answered quickly, words tumbling out before fear swallowed them. “I just— I heard of what happened. So, I just felt it was right to come see him. I wanted to see if he was—” My voice broke a little, and I swallowed. “If he’s okay.”I folded my hands, and I felt my fingers knotting together so I wouldn’t reach for anything stupid—like her approval.“It’s fine,” she said, and the way she said it didn’t sound fine at all. “His condition is actually critical and given the publicity, I felt that I should be careful with whom I permit in here and that was why I instructed that only Bia
