Alle Kapitel von Yearning for Her Return : Kapitel 511 – Kapitel 520

"By the way, where's Dr. Collins?" Rebecca suddenly realized that she had nearly finished her meal. David hadn't touched his food at all. She felt embarrassed by her appetite. To divert the conversation, she decided to bring up Randy.David seemed more interested in the restaurant's drinks and had already consumed most of his beverage. Upon hearing her question, he raised his gaze. "What, do you need something from him, Becca?"Since they had arrived in Fairport, the two of them had been going out most of the time. Yesterday's dinner was the only exception when they dined together, which is why Rebecca's mention of Randy was somewhat surprising.Rebecca noticed this too and quickly picked up a piece of fruit from the table to mask her awkwardness. "No, it's nothing important. I just thought of him suddenly. We saw him at the hotel earlier, so I thought he might join us today."David smiled in response and glanced at the mess of dishes in front of Rebecca. "Ms. Johnson, you've almos

When Rebecca regained consciousness, her vision remained blurry, as if something heavy was pressing on her eyelids, preventing her from opening her eyes. However, her consciousness slowly came back to her, allowing her to hear what was happening around her.It sounded like Randy. "A fever caused by food poisoning. We'll start with some IV drips. Once the fever subsides, she should be fine. The key is to get plenty of rest and avoid spicy foods.""When will she recover?" David's voice followed.Although Rebecca was unable to open her eyes, she still cursed herself upon hearing this. Nobody could control when a patient recovered. David was giving the doctor a hard time.Randy maintained a calm tone. He was probably preparing medication since there was the sound of glass clinking. "In about a week. It depends on Ms. Johnson's physical condition. Her health isn't the best, so she may need a longer recovery period."David grunted and said nothing more.Coincidentally, his phone rang.

David gazed down at Rebecca's smile and froze. He forgot how it irritated him to hear her say that. Rebecca had already picked up the sandwich and eaten her meal when David snapped out of his daze.Because of that, he couldn't be bothered to snap at her again. He retracted his intense stare and said, "Call me if you need anything."His gaze had already shifted away from Rebecca when he said that. He also sounded more hoarse, probably because he had lowered his head to focus on setting the sandwiches on the table.After that, David picked up his phone and laptop from the table to leave. He moved so fast that it almost seemed like he was fleeing from her.He vanished when Rebecca raised her head to watch him leave. She only saw the master bedroom door swing closed moments after he left.Rebecca blinked in confusion but only glanced at the door once more before refocusing on her meal.…The hotel manager had brought a change of clothes outside the master bedroom. David immediat

Now that the thought had formed in David's mind, it crept inside his head and multiplied like vines.David couldn't help recalling the scene when Rebecca had just woken up after a severe injury on the boat. She was like a newborn hatchling searching frantically for its mother. Rebecca wholeheartedly trusted anyone nice enough to her.David found himself missing that newly awakened Rebecca.He once heard of a surgical procedure abroad called a frontal lobe resection. It could wipe out one's memory for good, but the patient could also turn out brain-dead. They'd not only lose their memories, but they'd also be unable to process emotions.David tried visualizing that scene. It seemed meaningless if he ended up with a hollow human that only looked like Rebecca. So, he ditched that idea and decided to put up with how things were for now.Yet, he thought about what the Johnson brothers said. David often had to think of ways to cheer Rebecca up and make her forget about her so-called fam

David only found out Rebecca had a high fever the next day.He allowed the hotel employee, who delivered breakfast, inside before heading to the master bedroom. There was no response after he knocked several times. David gave it some thought before frowning and opening the door.Darkness filled the room. Unlike the smell of medication from last night, a faint fragrance lingered in the air. David approached the bedside. He saw the glass of water he had left on the bedside table. It was half empty. He then looked at the woman on the bed, who didn't seem affected by him coming in. Her eyes were shut tight as she slept peacefully. David's face no longer tensed when he saw that she was safe. He pursed his lips and murmured, "Becca?" As usual, the unconscious Rebecca didn't respond.David felt helpless at that moment. Although he agreed that she should rest, he felt like a lot of time had passed from last night until now. She should've at least eaten something before resuming her re
