Semua Bab Forgot My Wife, Found My Standards: Bab 11 - Bab 20

I didn't care about her explanation, but Suri insisted.She held on tight. I could've pulled away, but I was too tired to fight, so I let her talk."That day, when I heard someone had fallen into the water, the first thing I did was ask if you were okay. They told me it was Julian, so I relaxed. But my grandfather has always treated him like a grandson, so I went to save him. I didn't know you'd fallen in too..."A few simple sentences, and suddenly none of it was her fault.She saw the disbelief on my face and went quiet for a long moment."You don't believe me, do you?""Why should I?" I looked at her coldly. "Everyone saw what happened. You rushed over without thinking. You wanted to save him. I didn't matter. Even after Keira pulled me out, you still treated me like ice."Suri, I'm not blind. I know how little I meant to you."Suri's breath caught.She slipped her arms around me.This time, she didn't hold on tight. Her embrace was impossibly gentle.It was the first tim

I looked her straight in the eyes."Suri, when I first woke up, I couldn't remember anything. I was terrified. Then I found out you were my wife, and I was happy because I already knew who you were. I thought you were an amazing person.""Suri, I always dreamed of getting married. I thought I'd end up with a kind wife. I never imagined she'd be someone like you..."I'm disappointed in you, but I'm even more disappointed in myself. I used to look down on people who lost themselves in relationships, but I used love as an excuse to let you hurt me until I didn't even recognize myself anymore."Ever since I woke up with amnesia, I haven't felt any love from you. All I've gotten is coldness and impatience. Even if there was nothing between you and Julian, so what? You never acted like my wife. You let him hurt me, and you hurt me too. I don't see any reason to keep this marriage going."Let's get divorced."Every word came straight from the heart.For a second, something seemed to sh

No wonder I wanted to forget.No wonder my mind had buried it all.Those memories hurt that bad.My whole body shook.Suri noticed. "What's wrong?""Suri... you make me sick."I stared at her, clutching my chest, then let out a tired breath.Truth was...I made myself sick too.I closed my eyes.Then everything went black.***When I woke up, I was back in a hospital bed.Same doctor as before.She was checking me over while Suri gripped my hand.The second my eyes opened, Suri called out, "Nina, he's awake."Nina checked my eyes. "He's fine. The emotional shock made him pass out. The swelling from his old head injury is down, so he just needs rest."Suri exhaled."When did you hit your head? Why didn't you tell me?"I pulled my hand away.My stare was colder than it had been when I lost my memory.Suri seemed to realize it.Her lips tightened."Connor... you..."I cut her off."It doesn't matter. I want a divorce."She swallowed, bitterness creeping into her

I frowned and stepped back.Before I could leave, Julian blocked me again."You told her everything, didn't you?""Told her what?" I had no clue what he meant."You told her I'd been making your life hell behind your back. That I was trying to split you two up. That I shoved you into the pool. You ran to her and snitched, didn't you?"I gave a cold laugh."You did all of that. Scared people might find out?""I knew it was you!"He screamed and lunged.I dodged on instinct.Then I saw the knife in his hand.He was trying to kill me.He'd really snapped."Connor!"Someone screamed my name.But the pain never came.When I opened my eyes...Suri was standing in front of me.The knife was buried in her chest.Blood soaked through her clothes as all the color drained from her face.Even then, she kept staring at me, checking if I was okay.She slowly lifted a hand toward my cheek.It dropped before she could reach me."Suri!"I shouted her name.But she couldn't hear

I knew Suri couldn't hear me, but Meredith's words wouldn't leave my head.I needed to say it out loud."Suri, you don't want kids, right? Fine. Wake up, have the baby, and I'll raise them myself. They'll still call you Mom. You are their mother."Even after the divorce, we can stay civil. But I'm not staying single forever. Someday, your kid might call someone else Mom."I said it just to get a reaction.Truth was, I had no plans to remarry. Maybe I'd date eventually, but marriage? Never again."What about Keira? She's liked me for years, and she saved my life. She might make a decent stepmom—"Suri's finger twitched.Once.But she didn't wake up.Disappointment hit me hard."Suri, I'm serious. If you don't wake up soon, I'm really going to—"Her eyelids fluttered.This time, I knew I hadn't imagined it."Doctor!"My heart leaped as I rushed to call Nina.She was Suri's closest friend. Since the accident, she'd barely left the hospital.She hurried over with Suri's at
