บททั้งหมดของ Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins: บทที่ 281 - บทที่ 290

DAVE POV The moment Dr. Sana finished with the kids, Anna and I straightened from where we had been sitting outside the ward. We had deliberately excused ourselves while she attended to them. Not because I didn’t want to know what she was saying, but because I figured the kids deserved at least one conversation in their lives where their parents—or whoever the hell I was to them at this point—weren’t hovering around listening to every single thing they said. So when the door finally opened and Dr. Sana stepped out, I immediately stood. She looked calm. Too calm, if you asked me. I mean, this woman had just spent the last half hour talking to two children who had watched their mother almost die, only to find out that the woman who woke up didn’t remember being their mother. That was enough trauma to fill an entire psychology textbook. Anna got up beside me. “How are they?” she asked immediately. Dr. Sana gave us a small smile. “They’re doing better than I expected.” I let o

LYDIA POVHonestly, hello everyone.Apparently, my name is Lydia.At least, that’s one of the few things I am completely certain about right now.According to what I know, I’m a lady in my early twenties who was involved in an accident, lost her memory, and somehow woke up to discover that she apparently has two children and an ex-husband.An ex-husband.For me to have children who are apparently six years old, I would have had to be in my thirties.Thirty.Like… what?Being in my thirties was not supposed to be part of the plan.I was supposed to be young, probably figuring out my career, probably fighting with my parents over something ridiculous.But apparently, somewhere between the woman I remember being and the woman everybody is telling me I became, I became a single mother.I don’t even know how.I have a best friend too.Me.Lydia.A best friend?LOL.Apparently, her name is Anna.And the funny thing is, everybody keeps talking about Anna like she’s supposed to be one of the

LYDIA POV“We are not strangers,” the girl said immediately.I blinked.She had walked into my hospital room with her brother, both of them staring at me like I had just personally offended them.I looked between the two of them.“Okay.”she continued, pointing at herself with the confidence of someone presenting evidence in court. “According to Oxford’s dictionary definition, a stranger is a person you do not know. And technically, we are no strangers to you, you know? We’ve been around you for at least twelve hours, and you know our names, right?”I stared at her.This girl.She had barely been in the room for thirty seconds and was already arguing semantics with me.I couldn’t help the tiny smile that pulled at my lips.“Okay,” I said again.She then pointed at her brother.“So what’s his name?”I looked at the boy.He was watching me expectantly.I frowned slightly, trying to pull the answer from somewhere in my head.“Eli?”Her face immediately lit up.“Gotcha.”I stared at her.

LYDIA POVThe man stared at me for a second after I asked who exactly he was to me.Then he smiled.Not the awkward smile Dave had been giving me.Not the polite smile Anna gave me whenever she was trying not to overwhelm me.This was different.It was the kind of smile that made me wonder if this man had always smiled at me like that.“I’m a friend,” he said.“A friend?”“Yeah.”He nodded, still smiling. “A very good friend, apparently.”“Apparently?”He chuckled.“And we have a work relationship too.”I frowned.“Work relationship?”“Well, technically, you helped my company.”“How?”He leaned against the edge of the hospital cabinet.“My company was almost in ruins. Things were bad. Really bad. And then you came in.”I blinked.“I did?”“You did.”“And?”“You basically helped us rebuild.”I stared at him.“Wow.”He laughed.“Yeah. Wow.”“So I saved your company?”“Pretty much.”I looked at him again.“That’s actually impressive.”“It was impressive.”I smiled.“So we must have been

LYDIA POVDave seemed to realize what he had just done.He blinked.Then cleared his throat.“Oh.”He reached into his other pocket and pulled out his phone.“Sorry. I was on a call.”I raised an eyebrow.“A call?”“Yeah.”He tapped the screen, and suddenly I could hear a man’s voice coming through his AirPods.Apparently, he had been on a call with one of his assistants.Something about his assistant sending over some documents, a meeting, a proposal, some figures that needed to be reviewed before the end of the day.He even started speaking professionally, asking someone to resend an email and telling them he’d look at something once he got home.I stared at him.Then at Theo.Then back at him.Because, honestly, I could have sworn he wasn’t talking to a client.Not with the way he’d suddenly yelled stop it when Theo and I were laughing.But I had no evidence.And considering I had only been awake for a day and apparently had ten years missing from my brain, accusing a stranger of l
