When Love Comes Too Late

As soon as the doctor came, he checked me and confirmed that I had lost my memory. The doctor had discussed with me that my memories weren't from the present but back to when I was still in my senior year at university.

The doctor told me that for me to recover the memories that were gone from me, it was best for me to visit any familiar places and try to recall the messages I had with them. I would love to try it. It was scary to forget important details.

"Preferably someone who has had a strong emotional experience," I shared.

My best friend nodded and after seeing me off, the doctor changed his attitude and said, "Forget it. It's good to be so carefree."

It made me mute momentarily and I was quite confused with what he said.

"Well, you said it's good, so it must be that good to try," I added.

Since Wendy needed to work, she only had to be accompanied inside the hospital until the afternoon.

When she left, I had nothing else to do; I just got my cell phone and played with it.

As soon as the door on the side cracked open, I was on cloud nine, thinking it was Wendy, but soon after I brought my gaze there, I realized it was him. Jayden Cooper.

It was indeed him. Jayden was with his woman. He dared not ask me how I was but started complaining, "You haven't had enough trouble? Is it interesting to look for my mother every few days? You also make things difficult for Alice. Are you disgusting?"

I glanced at the woman he was protecting and my throat felt uncomfortable as if it had swallowed a thorn. I retorted, "When have I ever looked for Auntie?"

The girl looked delicate and fragile. When I glanced at her, she seemed scared, hiding behind Jayden, only peeking half her face to look at me.

I felt a surge of frustration hearing her words. Jayden's eyes showed pain as he held the girl protectively. His gaze towards me turned colder and he said, "I've told you Mrs. Cooper's place will always be yours, but if you continue like this, we'll have to divorce. I have no other choice."

His familiar yet grown-up face filled me with mixed emotions as he approached. I took a deep breath and in an instant, I slapped him in the face.
