"Ouch—" Eulalia’s voice was hoarse, almost inaudible, as a series of shocked, disjointed sounds escaped her throat, grating and harsh to the ears.As Eulalia gazed at Percival’s face, she felt as if her blood was flowing backward. She wanted to struggle, to resist, to escape, but her body was too weak to move.She had been lying there for 90 days. To Percival, her comatose state felt unbearably long, but for Eulalia, those terrifying experiences felt like they had happened just yesterday.Tears streamed down her face as she stared wide-eyed. The bright lights of the hospital room didn’t make her blink, her eyes red and swollen from crying.“Help... help me, don’t...”Eulalia’s feeble cries echoed in the empty hospital room. Gradually regaining strength in her hands, she used all her might to beat the edge of the bed.Her voice sent chills down Percival’s spine, leaving him feeling devoid of warmth, the pain in his heart intensifying bit by bit.He quickly pressed the call button on th
The doc laid it out straight for Percival about Eulalia's condition, and Percival was totally out of it, his gaze drifting off towards Eulalia, kind of lost in space. In the end, it was Oliver who kept track of everything. Long story short, Eulalia's injuries were way beyond what most people could handle.The "injuries" the doc mentioned were two-fold: one, stomach cancer, and two, those five injections that were shot into her brain.The advanced-stage stomach cancer was diagnosed a year ago in the hospital, and the fact that she's still kicking is nothing short of a miracle.And those five nerve-wrecking injections just piled on the agony.On top of that, Eulalia already had a tendency for autism and depression, and now, with the drug's stimulation, her brain's nerve functions are super weak."What's gonna happen?" Percival asked, ready to face whatever comes, even if it means dealing with someone who's lost their marbles, as long as Eulalia doesn't die.But Percival was oversimplify
Percival brought in the world's most renowned hypnosis expert, refusing to believe the hospital's claim that memory couldn't be controlled. He was determined to make Eulalia forget the memories that pained her. If she could just forget, then she could slowly recover, and they could start over.Afterward, Percival dismissed the psychologist and had the hypnotist perform hypnosis on Eulalia daily, along with some medicinal treatment. When the hospital learned about the use of hypnotic drugs, they immediately warned Percival. The drugs the hypnotist had were similar to those injected into Eulalia's brain to control her mind. Misused, they could potentially leave Eulalia with cerebral palsy, or worse, turn her into an imbecile.Percival, undeterred, confronted the doctors, "Then what do you suggest? I've given you twenty days, but what's changed from the beginning? Is her current state any different from an actual imbecile?""She's worse than an imbecile. At least an imbecile can find hap
Eulalia forgot everything except her own name, all about Percival, the sixteen years, the four painful years. She didn’t remember marrying Percival, let alone the wounds she suffered.The moment she opened her eyes, she was in the hospital, and then Percival smothered her with kisses, almost knocking her out again.Waking up with no memory, she was filled with unease, panicking like a fluffy kitten ready to scratch anyone who came close.Percival got slapped, but it didn’t hurt; Eulalia's hits were soft and didn’t pack the punch they used to.Worried about her hurting her hand, Percival called Oliver to concoct a story unrelated to their past.Percival was secretly pleased with Eulalia's amnesia. As long as she remembered nothing, they could start over as if nothing had happened. And to ensure she never remembers, he knew they must avoid any mention of her past, her parents, her loves, her wounds, places she lived, even her stomach cancer. All of it could jolt her memory.Sitting outs
So, Eulalia, the one who could play the violin, cook amazing dishes, and was super talented at work, basically walked through death's door and didn't make it back. She was always so full of herself, so you can imagine the kind of despair she must be feeling now, looking at her trembling hands, right?Percival, holding her hand, couldn't feel her soul. All he could do now was to take care of her, try to mend her shattered soul, and look after her so she could at least feel a bit normal. But no matter how much he did, he knew it wasn't enough. He couldn't even convince himself to stop the tears.Embarrassing, really. He was taking it harder than Eulalia herself.Eulalia was pretty down too, but seeing her man cry like that left her confused. She wanted to say something, but it was like there was a thorn stuck in her throat.After a while, she gently patted his arm and said, "Hubby, don't cry. The car accident wasn't your fault. Plus, I can do rehab for my hand. Right now, I can't feed m
"Don't worry, I'll be with you until everything feels familiar."That was the idea, but even after Eulalia had looked inside and out of the entire villa, it all still felt strange to her.She just didn't fit in, like a drop of oil staining a piece of clothing or a mouse that suddenly scurries into someone else's new home.With her memory gone, she could be super sensitive, insecure, and timid at times.As Eulalia moved from the first floor to the bedroom on the second, she always felt something was missing in this house. It wasn't until she saw their wedding photo by the bed that it clicked.You'd think, being their marital home, there would be more wedding photos around. And that one on the nightstand looked like someone just snapped it in passing."Do we not have wedding photos?" Eulalia asked.Percival had his excuse ready: "We got married in a hurry and didn't take any photos. If you want, we can have a photo shoot and even redo the wedding."Eulalia wasn't exactly dying for weddi
Eulalia had her happy moments in the half month since she woke up, but mostly, she felt uneasy, her amnesia making her seem all the more vulnerable from the inside out.She had never laughed like she did now. Watching her bright smile, Percival felt like he was back to the night they first met, lost in a moment of enchantment that he couldn't escape from.Seeing the water on his face, Eulalia reached out to wipe it off, playfully scolding him with a hint of coquettishness, "I'm super ticklish, so no funny business, or you're sleeping on the couch alone..."Percival was in a great mood, as if a ray of sunshine had pierced through the months of dead silence in his world. He grabbed Eulalia's hand, looking deeply into her eyes, "Eulalia, will you marry me again? Let's take wedding photos, have a ceremony, and fill in those missing years."Eulalia bit her lip, turning her head, "Don't change the subject. Let go of my leg or I'll kick you.""I'm serious, Eulalia. I know you're feeling inse
Evadne's reason for calling was straightforward: she wanted to know why Percival left Windwatch without telling her.Eulalia, who was supposed to be in a vegetative state, woke up way sooner than expected, and to top it off, she lost her memory. This amnesia wasn't exactly good news for Evadne.Can amnesia just erase everything that happened?Evadne had bribed a nurse, hoping to seize an opportunity, but Percival was always by Eulalia's side, making it impossible for her inside person to even enter the room. She was informed that the patient had already been discharged.Frustrated and heartbroken, Evadne couldn't understand why her sacrifices led to such a minor impact on Eulalia.Thinking of that man's methods sent shivers down her spine.The "kidnapper" had insisted on taking Eulalia largely because of something she had said. That person was Percival's enemy, determined to take anything Percival valued or destroy it if he couldn't have it.To protect herself during the kidnapping, s
