Damon’s POVAddison looked at me with a confused expression, as did Mr. Rundolph, who found it strange why Addison knew everyone while she didn't recognize me. I wondered if Addison did that on purpose. She wants to forget me and erase all the memories in her head about me. Is that possible?"I'll call Dr. Sullivan." Shofia immediately left Addison's hospital room.I was still standing behind Mr. Rundolph, trying to get Addison to talk. However, Addison only responded slightly. Even Addison seemed to have difficulty speaking even a word or two. I knew it was a side effect of the surgery, and we had to be patient and wait until Addison was fully recovered and back to normal.Mr. Clarke was just watching Addison without making a sound. But, I could see the happy glow on her face, knowing Addison was awake and she was not forgotten. Oh, I was the only one looking pathetic here.Not long after, Shofia came along with Dr. Sullivan to check on Addison.Everyone stepped aside a little and ma
Addison’s POVIt's been one week, and I'm already in excellent condition after my surgery one week ago. The doctor said I had passed the critical period and was gradually improving. However, my memory has not fully recovered. I only remember some of what happened, and I am grateful that I still recognize my father, Shofia, and Hayden. That made me a little happy because I hadn't forgotten them. They are the people who matter in my life. Yes, it seems so.I'm surrounded by very nice people here. Shofia and Hayden always take their time to see me at the hospital. I recalled that Shofia was a doctor at this hospital, which is why she always came to keep me company here after her work was done. We're good friends, that's what she told me. As for Hayden, he said that he is a businessman, but he cares about me so much that he always tries to make time to be here.Shofia and Hayden told each other about our friendship over the years. And it's enough to make me understand and consider them an
Addison's POV It's been two weeks since my surgery, and Dr. Sullivan said that I would be discharged soon. It's only a matter of time before I'm able to go home after my physical and medical check-ups are completed. For two weeks now, Hayden has been coming to visit me at the hospital. Sometimes, he comes at lunchtime or in the afternoon after coming home from work. Hayden often comes with fresh flowers or snacks, which he said were my favorite food. I was happy with his presence because it could more or less accompany my loneliness.I vaguely remember Hayden, who was my senior in college. Shofia also told me that. That means my memory of him is really good. I don't remember how close we were. However, I could see that we were close friends, as she kindly visited me at the hospital. It was usually Shofia who would accompany me if she had finished work, but sometimes, my father would also come. Oh, yes, Dad said that he was discharged by the Doctor. I can't wait to go home and see w
Addison’s POV I was still looking at the large and luxurious building in front of me. It was a very nice house, and somehow, it looked just like what I wanted before. But there was something that really bothered me. I knew that Dad's company had gone bankrupt a long time ago and that Dad didn't have that much money to buy this house, which must be very expensive. How could you possibly buy a dream house like the one I wanted?We were still standing in front of the house and hadn't stepped onto the porch. Dad and Hayden were also silent outside because I was still staring and wondering about this house."Addison, I know you've been wondering about this house, right?" Unexpectedly, Dad was able to read my thoughts about the house.I shifted my gaze from the house in front to my father, who seemed to know about my unrest. "Yes, I was wondering. How can you own this house? As far as I know, you don't own anything anymore." I have yet to ask how you paid the hospital bill earlier, and it
Addison's POV I enjoyed my days living in this house. The memories that often popped up and down the rooms made me take it for granted. I still remember what Dr. Sullivan said: I should be patient because one day, my old memories will return on their own. So, from now on, I let the faint memories of the past come and go. Of all the places in this house, I really like it, except for this garden. Oh, yes... right now I'm in a garden next to the house that looks very barren. This morning, my father and I started hoeing the soil to make it easier to plant. A few days ago, I asked my father to buy flowers, vegetables, and fruit seeds. I really like gardening. So, with my father's help in buying new seeds, we started watering the seeds on the soil that had been loosened and recombined into fertile soil. I am very passionate about gardening. I planted many flower and fruit seeds in different places. After planting the seeds, I watered them little by little. Father appeared from the side
Addison’s POV We were already at one of the biggest malls in the city. Hayden asked what we were going to do first. I just followed them and didn't want to make any rules. "Addison, did you eat lunch?" Shofia asked me. As I recall, I hadn't eaten lunch after the break and had only drunk fruit juice. Then I shook my head. "Well, we'll have lunch first, Hayden," Shofia said to Hayden, who nodded.So, we looked for a fast food restaurant in this mall. There was a lot of junk food, but Shofia forbade me from having lunch with that. It's not healthy, she said. So again, I just obeyed her. We're already at a fast food restaurant that serves heavy food and is, of course, very healthy. I trusted Shofia with all her recommendations. We enjoyed our food while chatting casually. Shofia and Hayden had more to say, and I just listened and occasionally chimed in. They were such good friends that they didn't forget to chat with me."Addison, don't forget to take your medicine first." Shofia act
Addison’s POV I still stood transfixed and didn't move at all. I didn't even seem to notice my surroundings, even though I was with Shofia and Hayden. That man, the man I remember very well named Damon Saunders, I don't know what he did to me so that his gaze seemed to be able to hypnotize me. Since then, my eyes were only on him. There were flashes of images that came and went in my memory. But everything seemed like it needed to be more specific. "Addison." I heard a voice calling my name right next to me, but my eyes only seemed to be on that man. Damon Saunders. Really, that man is Damon Saunders? Because that was the only name that suddenly popped into my head. "Addison, can you hear me?" I gasped at Hayden's call as he shook my arm. "Hayden." I looked up at Hayden, who was standing next to me with his eyes full of concern for me. It seemed like the magic that the man, I think the stranger, had bewitched me so that my attention was only on him was gone. "Are you okay?" Hayd
Damon’s POV I'm home and currently sitting at the dining table. The waiter had just served me dinner. And, right in front of me, a plate containing a very delicious and appetizing-looking dinner began to tickle my sense of smell. However, I didn't touch the food at all; all I was doing at the moment was recalling the incident earlier this afternoon when I met Addison along with her two friends. I thought Addison was still undergoing medical tests and hadn't been allowed to come out yet. It turns out I was wrong. When I first saw Addison, I was surprised and happy. I never expected that we would meet again in a place I never thought we would. If I had turned down the meeting with my client earlier, I wouldn't have been able to meet Addison. So, I feel very lucky that I came to meet them in the end. I was actually having some business to discuss with a client at one of the restaurants inside the mall. I accidentally saw Addison, who already looked very healthy and even more different
