Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You - Chapter 169

He finally opened his eyes!

Too bright! He had a hard time adjusting his vision to the room’s brightness. Where could I be? He thought to himself as he stretches his hand to ċȧrėss his forehead.

White walls, gray curtains, bright lights and an unfamiliar furniture… This is definitely not his room, not even a hotel. Where could he be?

Its warm too…

He tried to move his heavy body when he suddenly felt a figure beside him. Something is on top of his stomach as well. He creased his brow in confusion before he glanced at his left side.

A woman? How did he ended up sleeping with a woman? This could not be. Maybe he’s dreaming? Once again, he slightly slapped his forehead. “Ahhh!” He cried. No, his not dreaming.

His movement seems to awaken the woman beside her cause she slowly raised her head, and with a sleepy eye, she tried to look at the man beside him.

Their eyes met.

The woman blinked her eyes not just twice but many times. She wanted to make sure that she’s not seeing things. She stretches her hand and touch the man’s cheek. She could feel his warmth.

“You…” The shocked man started to open his mouth.

“M-marcus? Y-you’re awake? for real?” Tears started to flow from her eyes. She can’t be dreaming! No, please, let it not be a dream. She smiled with tears in her eyes.

“Y-you…” Marcus couldn’t finish his words because the woman captured his lips. After a few seconds, she embraced the man and whispered lovingly. “I am so glad you finally woke up.” Tears continued to flow from her eyes.

“Wait, I’ll call your doctor.” The woman climbed down the bed and rushed outside the room.

Doctor? The man thought. Then he is at the hospital?

Few minutes later, the door to his room opened and an old man wearing a white lab gown came in along with three women. They are obviously nurses attending the doctor. Then the same woman who was lying in his bed came in too. She’s too happy to see him awake for who knows why.

The doctor examined him before asking him a few questions. After examining him, the doctor could say he’s normal. However, his question shocked everyone in the room, including the woman who stole a kiss from him earlier.

“Who are you? And why the hell did I ended up here in a hospital?”

Jade couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hands as an unfamiliar chill course through her spine. No, Marcus cannot remember her? How come?

“Mr. Hanes, please tell me what you remember as of this very moment.” The doctor started to asked a few questions.

“What I remember? I believe I am working on a few important documents in my company. And at 6pm, I am scheduled to meet my fiancé, Rachelle, at the stardust restaurant. But why the hell am I here? And who is that woman?” His eyes were looking strangely at the shocked woman—Jade.

“Mr. Hanes, can you tell me the date today?” The doctor asked.

“April 10, 2017.” He proudly stated though the doctor’s face could not be painted from who knows what kind of shock he may be in. “I don’t know what happened doctor, maybe I fainted somewhere but I am okay now. I need to get out of here because I need to meet with my fiancé.” He was about to wake up but he felt a twinge of pain on his back.

“Ahhh!” He shouted in pain.

“Careful!” Jade run towards him and ȧssisted him to lie down. “Your badly hurt. Don’t overexert yourself.”

“Don’t touch me.” He pushed the woman away. “I don’t want a stranger touching me.” He coldly voiced.

She felt a pang in her heart.

“Doctor… what’s happening?” Jade helplessly looked at the doctor who breathe out a heavy sigh.

The doctor looked at Jade then to the man. “Let’s have you thoroughly check first.” He motioned the nurses to prepare the man. Looks like something is wrong with his brain.

“Wait. Why? I don’t need that. Just get me my phone and I’ll call my secretary to come and pick me. I have my own doctor.” The man resisted.

“Marcus!” Jade yelped. “Stop it! you’re in Benjamin City not in Z city!” Jade couldn’t help but blurted out the truth.”

“Miss Jade—-”

“And today is March 28, 2020 not April 10, 2017. Your brain is three years behind!”

“What?! You crazy woman, shut up! Get me my phone!” The man is now furious. He glanced at the bedside table and spotted his phone. He struggled to reach his phone and was about to dial Sonny’s number but as soon as he got a glimpse of the time and date on his phone, he froze.

“What.the.hell.” He blurted in shock.

MEAWHILE, IN Z CITY…

Zenia couldn’t help but be annoyed at Sonny. She can just resign if she wanted to and go to Benjamin city to check on Marcus. However, she also realized that if she does that, she won’t be able to go back being Marcus’ secretary and she will definitely have a hard time seeing him.

She’s been asking Sonny to check on Marcus. He was supposed to return few days ago but it has been five days now that she hadn’t receive any update from him.

“Mr. Hanes said he’ll be in Benjamin city for a few days more. So, if I may ask, miss Zenia, please focus on your work because Mr. Hanes can return any day he wants.” Sonny voiced in annoyance.

“But he needs to see a lot of documents and —–”

“Miss Zenia, what is the sense of hiring so many people to work under you?” Sonny interrupted. “If I may give you an advice, don’t be so overly concern with Mr. Hanes life because you might end up losing your work focus. He has too much of a burden on his shoulders right now and he won’t hesitate to fire people who does not do their ȧssigned job properly.” He made sure he conveyed his main point.

“As for the documents that needs to be signed, I’m sure you are well aware that he gave me the authority to sign it.” He faced the woman who seems to be controlling her anger a t the moment. “Or could it be that you do not honor the power vested on me by the CEO?” He looked at her accusingly.

“Damn you, Sonny! I promise you’ll pay for what you’re doing to me so soon!” Zenia cursed within her as soon as Sonny left.

His words and his tone of voice whenever he talks to her… why does she feels like Sonny knew something about her?
