Chapter 32 - Amnesia

Jihye

Everything instantly happens to a blur. I was looking at the tomb right in front of me while my both hands were in my pocket. Sighing when I remembered what happened in the past few years.

"It's been a while, How are you doing up there?" I asked while putting down the flowers "I'm doing okay just so you know. I missed you so much" I said sighing while standing back up "I have to go" I mumbled while walking back to the car.

I was driving on my way to the place where I needed to, It's been a hard year...

"Hello?" I answered my phone

"Hey, Jihye. It's me, you have to come quick. Your wife is awake"

"A-alright I'll be there in any minute," I said excitedly.

Lauren is still alive, the doctor manage to save her and she went into a coma for two years. It was a hard year for me and my son, he was missing her mother so much that he sometimes sleep with her to her hospital bed. I've been checking her out every day, it feels like I live there already but I couldn't care less. I need to be where my wife is also.

Speaking of Liam, he was alive. I was just relieved that he is so he could face the consequences. He was in jail already even though he's not yet fully recovered, it was Dowon and My Dad's idea. He hurt my precious wife and tried to steal her away from me and I wouldn't let that happen.

I've talked to Ara already, it's been one year already and she got out of Jail, she also visited Lauren two days after she was released we're trying to work on our friendship again while she's also trying to fix everything with her wife. We were just there to support her whenever she needs.

My friends and my wife's friend have been visiting her always. We certainly became closer and they are the best because they are here for me, they never left me, they always comfort me whenever I'm crying because I miss Lauren so much. But, here I am now fully happy because after two years of waiting she's finally awake.

I came out of the car quickly, two of my bodyguards following me from behind and I instantly went to the elevator to go straight to my wife's room. As I came in, the doctor was checking my wife. She still looks beautiful and she never changes. Jayden instantly went to my arms and hugged me, shying around. He was happy and I could feel it.

Lauren was looking around, it seems like she was lost and she was like reviewing our faces "Lauren, can you speak?" The doctor asked

"W-who are you?" She asked lowly, that's when I broke. Is this even real? She can't remember us?

"Sweetheart, can't you remember us?" Leslie asked while caressing her cheeks

"N-no, w-who are y-you?" She said scared, I remember that times when she was already being kidnapped by Liam, she has that face.

"Hey, calm down. It's okay" The doctor rubs her shoulder "I'm Doctor Adams and they are my teams" Doctor Adams pointed to the nurses behind him "You had an accident two years ago and you went in a coma. Can't you remember anything?" Lauren shook her head "'kay"

"What are the findings?" I asked while we come out of the room, I didn't know how to feel. My wife can't remember any one of us.

"Jihye, your wife had Amnesia. Do you see what happened in the incident?" He asked, Doctor Adams is one of our closest friends because of her wife who was a model and she was also close with Lauren.

"I was there, I did see how the car bumped into the three but I didn't know what certainly happened to my wife inside that car" I mumbled while my hands are crossed 

"Even before she got confined in this hospital we x-rayed her and it seems like she bumped so hard that it caused her to lose consciousness. I remembered her head was also bleeding so we had to run a test" I sigh

"Will her memory come back?" I asked looking at him with hope.

"Anytime soon it will but as of the moment, don't pressure her, don't ask her if she remembers about the past because it will trigger her headache" I nodded "Jihye, just help her out okay?"

"You know I will" He pat my shoulder and sat in the chair rubbing both of my hands in my face, wanting just to curse and kill Liam because of this. I missed my wife, I thought I will finally have my time to cuddle with her but no. She doesn't know me.

I remembered even before the accident happened, I talked to Ben and I remembered what he told me. Her life will be grey and sorrowful but I will be the one giving the colors of it and I know I will because I'm desperate to be hers again I know I am but the fact that she doesn't know me is just not enough. I'm ready...I'm ready to do everything again just to make her remember the things we did, the things that she likes, and have our future family that she likes because as of the moment, she's all I need and our Son needs her.

"Dada" Jayden hugged my legs and I looked at him as I smiled

"Hi" I mumbled while carrying him and letting him sit on my lap "Did you talk to your Mommy?" I asked

"I did, but she doesn't remember me" He pouts

"I know buddy, but as of the moment, I think we need to understand that Mommy needs time to remember anything. She has a bad accident and it cause her head thalleadsad to forget but someday soon her memories will come back" Jayden hugged me and I sigh hugging him back

"Mommy still loves me right?" He sniffled

"Of course baby, Of course. Okay...how about let's help her out?" He pulled out and looked at me using his small hands to wipe his tears "You know how much I love Mommy right?" He nodded "Dada has been planning to take care of her, though we already are now that she's awake for sure she still needs our help and we will do everything to remember the both of us. Is that okay?" He grinned and clap

"Yes! Dada!" He said happily making me smile, She is like Lauren. So bubbly, smart, and clingy. To be honest, Jayden wasn't doing well in the past few years. It seems like he knows that her mother wasn't okay, I could feel that even though I'm her parent he's still feeling incomplete and I truly understand that because we're talking about his mother, where he came from.

We stood up when the door opened it was Dowon who was shedding tears.

"Hey.." I said, "Is everything okay?" I asked while Jayden held my hands tightly

"She's okay Jihye. She's okay...it seems like she knows Leslie is her Mom. She was just hugging her and she was so comfortable. I couldn't help but shed a tear because after two years of waiting she's here again. My Daughter is back"

"She is back. Can I come in?" I asked while Jayden went to his grandfather's side probably wanting me to spend my time with her Mother.

"Go ahead, they are waiting for you" I nodded and pat my son's head. I looked at Dowon and he nodded at me while I sigh opening the door. I walk in slowly and closed the door behind me, the first thing I saw was Lauren was smiling at her siblings who were telling some cute stories while Mommy was holding her hands and rubbing her thumb to the back of it.

Oh, how I miss that smile.

"And Unnie, I remembered when you and Jihye Unnie just had a photoshoot so your relationship will be public. You were pregnant at that time and you are freaking out. You're scared because you didn't know what will her fans think of you" Daeun laughed while Dohyun was telling that story. Leslie was just smiling at them while Lauren giggled.

I miss her, I honestly do.

"Who's Jihye?" Ouch, that hurts. But, I promise I will bring her back. I will do everything just to make her fall in love with me again.

Leslie and Dohyun looked at me and I forced a smile, I wanted to cry but I don't want to. I need to be strong in front of her.

"Talk to her alright? She's not a bad person" I saw her nod and Mommy kissed her forehead. Looking at them leaving until they closed the door. Lauren looked at me while I'm trying my best to gather up my thoughts.

I sigh and walk slowly to where her mother sat, I looked down but managed to look at her fingers and the wedding ring was still there. Lauren followed my gaze and she also looked at mine.

"O-oh we're t-the same" She mumbled slowly, I couldn't help but chuckle

"We are," I said wanting to hold her hands, she was looking at the ring again and I knew she was curious why we have the same ring. I don't want to blurt out because I'm scared that she might burst out at any minute "I want to introduce myself, I'm Jeung Jihye and I'm twenty-eight years old. I work at a company as a CEO and I have a son" she nodded

"That's cool, I'm Lauren Jeung" her eyes widened "Why do we have the same surnames?" She asked in shock "Are we perhaps related?" I laugh

"No, Lauren. I don't want to rush things with you but I don't want to introduce myself just as your friend or stranger because I know someday soon you will probably treat me like that and I don't want that. I'm not saying this just to love me back but I want to be honest" I nodded

"Okay..."

"But I want you to tell me how are you feeling right now. Are you okay? Do you perhaps need some water? Food?" I inquired

"No, I'm okay" I nodded "Are we related?" She asked while I chuckled

"We are but not like relatives or you know friends but something more than that. But before that, you want to know something about you?" I asked she nodded

"So, you're the person who certainly likes watching some boring reality tv shows, watching some dramas with one of my closest friends, you're clingy and you always want some attention and we're always giving it to you just because you're so cute" she smiled while looking at me

Just by now, I'm already lost in her eyes. It is still the same, I remember that gaze it's the same when she confessed that she loves me. By just now, it was giving me hope that maybe someday soon she will finally remember us...remember me and our married life together with Jayden but I need to wait, I need to be patient and I'm willing to oblige because I love too damn much.

"Hey..before I answer that do I have a ton of friends?" She asked while fidgeting with her fingers, I smiled

"Yes, you do. Gabbie is your very best friend but you guys are five in total the rest of your friends are named Gia, Mai, Ella and you're also friends with your secretary named Suzy you both are like partners in crime and you are always with each other through ups and downs. You both are like siblings because she can't stay still whenever you're not together in the same room. She worries about you a lot and you do too" She smiled and looked down

"Your friends love you and they couldn't wait for you to wake up. They have been visiting you almost every day and they are talking to you about their day. They've been bringing you some flowers and so do I" I whispered the last part while she nodded and looked at the flowers

"What more?" She asked in interest

"Well, when you are staying in the house. You will just you know read some papers, do your work, take care of Jayden and sometimes talk to your friends and Suzy. My friends usually visit the house since they love hanging out in there because of the food"

"That's weird...are we like living together?" She asked while I'm nervous at heck already. I didn't know what to say but I certainly don't want to say that we're married but fuck it. I need to.

I wanted to.

I reached for her hands and she looked at it "Is this okay?" I asked while she nodded and bit her lip. I smiled I remembered whenever she's biting her lips it means that she's nervous and I'm still happy that I still have that effect on her. I couldn't be happier.

"Lauren...I'm your wife. We're married for three years now" she widened her eyes and looked at my ring finger again while I grip her hands "This is all true and like I said I don't want you to treat me as just your friend because it will hurt me. You don't know how much I love you" she blinked a few times

"I know it was a lot to take in but I just want to remind you everything" she nodded while she gripped my hand back and I smiled

"Jayden called me M..mommy," She said

"Yes, he's our son. He has been waiting for you and he missed you so much" She gulped

"Wow..."
