All Chapters of My Second Chance Mate Is My Ex Alpha’s Nemesis : Chapter 121 - Chapter 128

Liena POV The word settled over me like a heavy blanket. I looked down at our hands, joined together on the bed, and then back at his face. He was handsome in a quiet, serious way. It was the kind of face that might once have made me feel safe. Now it was just a stranger's face, looking at me with far too much feeling. "You don't remember," he said. It was not a question. Pain flashed in his eyes, but he forced a small, gentle smile. "It's all right. The doctors said this might happen. You have been through so much." His thumb moved softly across my knuckles. "I can't imagine my life without you. These past days, while I waited to see if you would wake up, I hardly slept. I kept thinking about every moment we have shared. I need you to know that. Whatever you remember or don't remember, I am not going anywhere." His voice was soft and steady. It was full of a care that felt too big for the small space between us. He leaned closer, careful not to shake the bed, and rested his forehe

Liena's POV The first thing I noticed when the darkness got thinner was how heavy my body felt. It felt like it belonged to someone else. It was heavy in places that should have been light, and light in places that should have felt full. My eyelids opened slowly, as if they had forgotten how to move. A white ceiling. A soft beeping sound. The sharp smell of medicine and cleaner in the air. And a man sitting in the chair next to the bed, with his elbows on his knees, watching me as if I might disappear if he blinked. Kael. That was the name he had given me. I had said it out loud earlier, trying the shape of it in my mouth. It still felt strange, like a word from a language I once knew and had lost. "Hey," he said again, his voice low and careful. "How are you feeling?" Tired. Everything far away. They were the same answers I had already given, but they were the only ones that fit. I swallowed and felt how dry my throat was. "Still tired. Still... empty." He nodded as if he had e

Helena POV I knocked on the hospital door and waited. "Come in," a soft voice said. I walked in with a bag in my hands. Liena lay on the bed. She looked weak and very tired. Her eyes were empty. I smiled at her. "Hi, Liena. How do you feel today?" She looked at me. She was confused. "I… I don't know you." I put the bag on the chair and sat close to the bed. "That's okay. My name is Helena. I am Kael's best friend. We have known each other for a long time. I came to see you." Liena blinked slowly. "Kael's best friend?" "Yes. He told me you are here. I wanted to help. I brought some things for you." I opened the bag and took out soft pajamas, a small bottle of lotion, a hairbrush, and a box of soup. "Look. Soft clothes. Your skin lotion. A brush for your hair. And warm soup. The hospital food is not good." Liena stared at the things. "You brought all this for me?" "Yes. I want you to feel better. Can I help you put on the soft pajamas?" She nodded a little. "Okay… tha

Liena POV
Elena nodded. “That is the start. Memory will come in pieces. One day a smell. One day a song. One day a face. Until then we will tell you the truth.”
Ethan climbed down and ran to a small bag in the corner. He pulled out papers. Crayon pictures. He brought them to me.
“Look, Mom. This is you and me in the garden. This is you and Daddy under the moon. This is our family.”
I took the papers. The drawings were simple. A woman with long hair. A man. A small boy. Hearts everywhere.
“These are beautiful,” I said.
Ethan beamed. “I love you, Mom. I say it every day even when you are not here. Helena told me to say it to her sometimes, but I only say it to you in my heart.”
Helena’s words from earlier floated back. She said she was the mother. She said I lost my womb. She said it with a soft face while everyone watched.
Elena saw my face. “Do not listen to every word Helena says when she is nervous. She tries to be helpful. Sometimes she forgets her place.”
Kael spoke at last
