Chapter 438 - Forgive me? (4) (1/2)

12 May, Military base hospital, City K

Being wheeled into the hospital on a gurney Lexi could hear Matthew and Chester arguing as she awoke from the sedation for the flight. As she went through a set of doors, she heard Chester say ”Let me through.”

Matthew then responded ”Grow up. You know what treatment she needs. And do not forget this is a military hospital. You want to cause a scene and I will have you removed…”

”You and who…?”

”Grow up Chester,” came Phillip's voice interrupting him. ”It is a military base and Mister General there, if you really want an answer will simple get a few soldiers to take you away and have you banned.”

”He would not dare.”

”Chester, stop it. I love you, but this is still childish behaviour. You know, if the two of you keep going, I will talk to Lexi myself and have her ask the medical staff to ban both of you.”

The doors swung firmly shut and Lexi could not hear what was going on. Hearing the two of them before they sedated her on the flight made her remember what happened Thursday night. The truth about Dominic's parentage had come out. Matthew was furious at her, but he did not seem to realise that her willingness to sacrifice herself made sure that they had their little boy, her angel, her life. Everything she had done was for him, from surviving the hell that was Richard, to leaving to recover from that, developing a career, and returning for him.

It was not making sense about marrying Matthew. Why? Did she feel guilty on his return to at least let him into their son's life as his primary male figure or was there some other reason? She needed to know, because trying to figure out what to do was hard enough but that gap was killing her.

A voice said ”Let us move Madam Rong carefully to the bed. Remember she has a broken arm and leg. Ready, Three, Two, one, Lift.” Lexi felt herself being carefully lifted and placed down on another bed.

As she opened her eyes, she saw a Doctor in her line of sight. Something made him seem familiar, and she saw him signal to the medical staff around before they seemed to melt away.

”Madam Rong, I have spoken to Colonel Zhang and am aware of your situation, and that she had not told you too much. I am Major Yu, surgeon. And yes, you have met me before. Not due to your hospitalisation, but your husband's. If you are recognising people, even if you cannot recall names, that is a good sign that you will recover your memories. Do not push yourself to remember everything it will happen in good time.”

”But I need to remember things.”
