Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 596: Did I Lose My Memory Because of the Explosion?
Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Did I Lose My Memory Because of the Explosion?
Juliet and Alex stood behind Brandon Piers, watching his slightly trembling hand. For a moment, they were too heartbroken to speak.
Just then, Abigail Green pushed Teddy out of the villa. The little boy was particularly sharp-eyed and immediately saw Brandon Piers. He stretched out his little hand, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Following Teddy’s gaze, Abigail saw the man she hadn’t seen in two days. He was wearing a thin, khaki knit sweater, standing quietly on the steps, his eyes fixed intently on her.
For some reason, Abigail’s heart seemed to have been gently poked, inexplicably hurting.
The man’s gaze was too painful, making it difficult for her to look directly at him.
She didn’t know why she felt guilty, but under the man’s gaze, she really couldn’t feel at ease. She avoided his gaze and pushed Teddy out of the yard, only to find the man followed them out.
"Were you really going to hold a make-up wedding with Jeffrey Foster?" Brandon Piers stood behind Abigail and asked softly.
Abigail’s body stiffened. Actually, since she left Brandon’s room the day before yesterday, she had hesitated about this matter. But she had already agreed to it twice. The first time was ruined by Brandon. If she backed out again, what kind of person would she be? What would she take Jeffrey for?
Moreover, Brandon had a grandfather, a son, the Piers, and a vast fortune. But Jeffrey only had her.
If she chickened out now, what would Jeffrey do? Abigail felt a bit reluctant.
With her back to the man, she gritted her teeth, "Yes, I hope this time you won’t do anything meaningless."
"Why not wait a bit longer? Wait until you regain your memory to make a decision. Give yourself and me a chance, or at least give me and him a fair chance to compete. Are you really that eager to marry him?" By the end, Brandon Piers’s voice lost its original sound, becoming dry and hoarse.
Abigail’s heart inexplicably twinged with pain, "I..."
To be so passionately loved by such an outstanding man as Brandon Piers must be very fortunate.
But she wasn’t the one he truly loved.
Abigail sighed softly, turned around to look at Brandon, "I’m sorry, Brandon, I am only Abigail."
Because she was just Abigail, she couldn’t respond to the love Lin Abigail had given him.
Brandon Piers was slightly stunned as he faced Abigail. "How did he tell you? Haven’t you considered that he might be lying to you? He came between us and then took you away, having Matsumoto hypnotize you to forget everything about Lin Abigail. You don’t remember, so how do you know the one who loved me wasn’t you but someone else? Abigail, this is unfair."
It was fine at first, but Brandon’s last sentence was said so lightly that it instantly struck Abigail, making her heart, already inexplicably troubled, even more sore and swollen.
Was she being unfair?
"I..."
"Brandon, are you here to see Teddy?" Just as Abigail hesitated, not knowing how to answer the man, Jeffrey Foster suddenly came out and interrupted Abigail.
Brandon Piers looked at Jeffrey’s hypocritical face, "Do you think feelings obtained through deceit can really last?"
"I don’t understand what you’re saying." Jeffrey coldly looked at Brandon.
Abigail looked at the two men for a long time, finally focusing on Jeffrey, "Did I lose my memory because of the explosion?"
"Abigail, do you not believe me?" Jeffrey looked at Abigail with hurt.
Abigail looked at her senior brother in a daze, then shook her head after a while, "I... believe you."
Over the years, the person she trusted most was her senior brother. Asking her to suddenly say she didn’t trust him was something she couldn’t do. But the doubts in her heart did not diminish.
Brandon Piers looked at this scene, laughed self-deprecatingly, and suddenly turned to leave.
Almost instinctively, Abigail wanted to chase after him. From the stroller, Teddy was also calling out "Daddy, Daddy," but Jeffrey stepped forward and held her shoulder, "Abigail..."
"I... I want to take Teddy to see her nursemaid," referring to Lin Abigail.
Jeffrey nodded, "I’ll take you."
"Senior brother, I want to take Teddy myself." Abigail firmly refused and then realized her tone was bad, "Sorry, I’m very confused right now, please don’t mind."
"It’s okay, I understand." Jeffrey answered considerately.
Abigail forced a smile, picked up Teddy, who was still calling "Daddy," glanced at the closed door next door, her mind a jumble of emotions, and got into the car.
Because she wasn’t convenient on her own, Abigail took Juliet with her.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Abigail first went to Aunt Claudia’s ward. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Aunt Claudia had been eagerly waiting for Abigail to visit her these past days. When she finally saw her, she excitedly held Abigail’s hand, "Abigail, Abigail, my Abigail..."
Looking at the frail elderly woman, Abigail felt uncomfortable. Although she felt she didn’t know this old lady in front of her, seeing her like this, she couldn’t help but feel both heartache and guilt.
"I’m sorry..."
"What are you apologizing for? How could you say that to Aunt Claudia? This isn’t your fault. It’s all my fault for not recognizing you all this time." Aunt Claudia murmured self-reproachfully.
Abigail gently hugged the old lady, "It’s my fault."
"You don’t remember, how can it be your fault? That Dean could do this, to a woman with a husband and a child, how could he just take you away? You don’t know how heartbroken Brandon was..." Aunt Claudia rambled on.
Abigail patiently listened to Aunt Claudia recount how Brandon believed she died in the explosion and dug with his bare hands to find her body. How he searched day and night, from Australia to Europe, for more than four months without getting proper rest.
Brandon had never mentioned any of this, but from his physical condition, Abigail could tell Aunt Claudia wasn’t lying.
He indeed went mad searching for her.
But even now, Abigail’s greatest doubt was, was Brandon searching for her, Abigail, or Lin Abigail?
Aunt Claudia continued rambling, yet those words from the man echoed in her ears, "You don’t remember, how do you know it wasn’t you who loved me but someone else?"
Was it really so?
Abigail began to waver in her heart.
But believing that she would fall in love with any man other than her senior brother, and even go crazy for him, still felt unreal.
Especially hearing Aunt Claudia say she argued with Brandon and later cooked for him to make him happy, even hiding in his bed at night.
Was she crazy? How could she do such a thing?
Aunt Claudia must be talking about someone else.
Abigail was very certain. Just then, her phone rang. Abigail glanced at the number and softly interrupted Aunt Claudia, "Aunt Claudia, I have something to attend to. Can you and Juliet watch Teddy for a while?"
"But you..." Aunt Claudia looked at Abigail reluctantly.
"I’ll come back for Teddy after I finish this." Abigail said, kissing Teddy, then looking at Juliet, "Please."
With that, Abigail left the ward. Someone was already waiting for her, "Miss Smith, this way, please."
Abigail nodded, following the person for about ten minutes into a large private office where the greeter extended a courteous hand, "Miss Smith, hello."
"Hello, Doctor Curme."
