When I Left, He Found His Way Back Chapter 46: Your boyfriend is awake

Jessica’s POV

I wore a long dress to hide my bandage, still, I couldn’t hide it from Liam. He saw the way I was walking, pulled to a stop and lifted my dress.

"What happened to your leg?"

"It’s nothing," I said, pulling the dress down, but he wouldn’t buy that.

He suddenly swept off my feet, making yelp in surprise. We were on the streets. I felt embarrassed and quickly asked him to put down but he refused.

"We’re going to the hospital," he said.

"No, it’s already been treated. Put down," but he didn’t listen.

"Stop resisting. There’s no harm in letting a doctor check your wound. The hospital is on the way. You could use the opportunity to check on that guy."

I blinked. He was right. I could check on Tristen. But why was he suggesting it? Didn’t he hate Tristen?

Our drive to the hospital, I was on my phone, reading the chats in the group I created. It was fun as everyone was introducing themselves and familiarizing with each other.

I didn’t want what happened between and Liam earlier to happen again. Kissing him was a spur of the mont, and I have to learn self-control, to not let my emotions get the better of .

I could feel his gaze on , but I paid him no heed. Suddenly, an unknown number ssaged . Opening the ssage, it was Sandra.

Sandra: Jessica, please, can we talk?

I was a lot calr now, so I replied matter-of-factly.

: Look, I’m sorry about how I reacted, I shouldn’t have made it seem like it was the worst thing on earth. I was caught off guard and just wanted to give you guys your privacy.

Sandra: Does that an you’re not going to report us?

: Report you? Hell no! Why would I do that? Co on babes, it’s not a big deal. I know the school rules forbids it, but hey, you’re adults. Love can’t be killed.

I was partially sincere but was mostly doing this because I wanted her to put her mind at ease. I didn’t want her labeling as her enemy. My life was already ssy enough. I didn’t want more trouble for myself.

Sandra: Thank you! Thank you so much, Jessica. I love you! We’ll et in school tomorrow, coffee on .

I smiled, she’s so sweet.

"We’re here."

Liam’s voice intruded my thoughts and I got out of the car without saying a word to him. He followed after, but just as I walked around the car, I spotted Hilda hurrying out of the hospital. I was about to call out her na when Liam placed a hand over my mouth.

I looked at him, my brows creased. It was only after Hilda got into a waiting sleek, black car and drove off that he let go.

"What are you doing?" I asked, annoyed at what he just did.

"I just didn’t want you to call out her na. You can talk to her over the phone."

I frowned, what kind of la excuse was that? I lifted my phone and called Hilda. Her phone rang but she didn’t pick up. I called again, thrice before she answered.

She sounded exhausted.

Hilda: Hey, Jess?

: What’s up? I saw you –

Liam pinched my arm to get my attention and lightly shook his head, signaling not to say that. I didn’t understand what was wrong with Liam, but I changed my wording.

: I saw you haven’t gotten ho from school yet, did you go sowhere?

Hilda: I’ve gone to work. There are many custors and I’m quite exhausted. I’ll talk to you when I’m done.

My brows creased. Hilda lied to ? Why? I just saw her leaving the hospital and entering a luxurious car... Hold on, how did Hilda get...

My eyes widened, was she dating a rich guy? Why didn’t she tell ? Why was she hiding it from ?

"Seems your friend didn’t tell you the truth?"

I glanced at him and rolled my eyes. "It’s none of your business." I walked forward, but he pulled back.

"Don’t be so trusting, Jessica, be a little thorough, even with those you trust the most."

"So they don’t betray like you did? Not everyone’s like you, Liam." I sneered and yanked my arm from him.

He clasped his mouth and followed into the hospital. We t a doctor, who checked on my leg. Good thing I ca by to be checked, otherwise, the leg might have gotten worse.

Seed the running from earlier caused the bandage to irritate the injury, because the skin on the surface started to peel off.

After treating the injury, the doctor bandaged it again and warned to be careful. I thanked the doctor before leaving to see Tristan. Liam didn’t co with . He waited at the reception while I took the elevator to the last floor.

The passageway was empty. I arrived at the door to Tristan’s ward, my hand raised to knock but before I could, the door was pulled apart, startling into taking a step back.

"Ma’am? You’re here?" Tristan’s assistant asked calmly.

"Hm, I wanted to see how he’s doing."

He stepped aside and opened the door wider for to go in. Entering the ward, Tristan was lying there, the machines beeping, but he was still in a coma.

I turned to his assistant, "Hasn’t he woken up yet?"

He shook his head, "The doctor said he might wake up soon."

"That’s a relief," I said, taking a deep breath. I closed the distance between and the bed and touched his face with the back of my hand.

He was warm, just like a normal temperature. That’s a good sign, I thought.

Just then, my phone rang. Glancing at the screen, it was Liam calling. I hissed through my teeth, what does he want? I’ve not even spent five minutes here. Annoyed, I answered the call.

: What now? I just left your side.

Liam: We have a date, I didn’t want you to forget.

My nose scrunched up.

: What date? I’m accompanying you for dinner. I don’t see that as a date, Liam.

Liam: Are you sure about that? What if I kiss you?

My eyes widened, and I blurted out without thinking of where I was.

: I dare you to kiss again.

From the corner of my eyes, I thought I saw Tristan move but when I turned my head, he was still, but for so reason, I felt his head had turned. He was facing the opposite direction when I entered, but now, he was facing , but his eyes were closed.

"Did he just move?" I asked his assistant, who also seed shocked.

"I think I saw it too. Let call the doctor," he said and rang the bell by the bedside.

: Liam, I’ll call you back.

I ended the call and focused my gaze on Tristan, then his eyes fluttered open and I was the first person he saw.

"He’s awake!" I cried out, surprised and excited.

"Jessica?" He called my na but his voice was hoarse and dry.

I hurried to his side and sat on the stool before the bed, "Yes, it’s ." I held his hand, my face breaking into a happy smile. "I’m glad you’re awake."

He tried to force a smile. The door burst open and the doctors and nurses marched in. They checked on him, did so tests before the head doctor smiled at .

"Congratulations, Ma’am, your boyfriend is alright. He has no serious injuries. We’ll watch him for a few more days before he’s discharged."

Boyfriend? Who told him that? This wasn’t the sa doctor I told that I was Tristan’s partner.

It was as if his assistant read my mind. He cleared his throat and said, "His record stated that you were his girlfriend."

"Oh," I said calmly, looking down at the man who’s been staring at with love in his eyes. His hold on my hand tightened slightly.

"Thank you, my love," he managed a smile.

I frowned slightly. Wasn’t he taking the play too seriously? I looked at the doctor, "Doc, are you sure there’s nothing to worry about? Please see if he’s truly alright."

The doctor was taken aback before he nodded, "Yes, Ma’am."

He tested Tristan’s eyesight, his eyes were fine. He checked his senses, they were perfectly fine, until his intelligence and mory were checked. And the result blew my mind.

Tristan rembered nothing! Not even his assistant! I was the only one he rembered, and as his wife!!

He claid we were married three years ago, and had a lovely family before he got into an accident.

What kind of delusion did he fall into?

The doctor even advised that I couldn’t correct him yet, claiming it would be detrintal to him. I was supposed to live together with him, as a married couple. Not just that, we were supposed to be a happy couple!
