The moment she entered the room, her heartbeat was in sync with the sound of the monitor. This is the first time she saw her husband up close after the accident. He has scars on his face and chest.

They were dead eyes looking at her. As if he didn't really know her. "E-Elroy, you don't know me?" "N-No." He said straightforwardly. "Elroy, it’s I-Infinity. Your wife." She is holding her chest because her heart is about to burst, her heart is beating crazy right now. "What are you saying?" She could see that he was annoyed. "No…I don't have a wife yet." Now he was confused. Elroy’s disgruntled with what's happening right now. He woke up a month ago with broken bones, lying in bed with wires attached to his head and whole body.

She wiped away the tears that fell spontaneously. "This will not make your husband happy." "But I think this is what he needs. This is what we need.” Her voice broke from holding back the tears. “He… He needs to focus on healing. For his memories to come back. For everything to be fine, I will focus on our son.
