Chapter 515 - The Familiarity (2/2)

Cali's eyes widened as she unconsciously murmured, ”That expression and that scolding. I've seen the same expression before. I feel like I've been with you before Rui. Like, you did the same thing for me before where you're worried and scolded me back then too.”

Rui stopped what he was doing and tilted his head up, staring at Cali. She called him with his first name for the first time...

”That expression of yours…”

”Don't think too much. It's probably fragments of your lost memory coming back to you.” Rui calmed his heart as he explained. Cali was recalling him but he did not want to bring his hopes up.

He stood up and grabbed the first aid kit only to realize that he was still in his trunks and Cali was still in her bikini, both of them still wet.

Cali seemed to be thinking the same thing as he was because he heard her say, ”I think I can manage these simple bruises Doc besides, I have to take a shower too. You should go back to your room and stop displaying your body.”

Rui nodded and immediately left Cali's room.

He held his chest as he walked back to his room to take a quick shower. Cali's memories seemed to be coming back.

A sudden glimmer of hope surged through his body. Though he had already set himself to hope for and expect the worst like, Cali would no longer remember him but still he was glad she could recall these little things about him.

He had a quick shower and quickly went back to Cali's room.

He knocked… Several times but there was no answer. He went inside and called out, ”Cali?!”

He suddenly got nervous at not seeing her around in the room. He knocked at the door of her bathroom, ”Cali?!”

No answer so Rui quickly opened the door.

”Close your eyes!” Cali shouted at him, so he complied.

”What happened? Why were you not answering?”

”I can't move my legs… Can you hand me my bathrobe please and don't open your eyes!”

Rui quickly moved and grabbed it and covered Cali's n.a.k.e.d body with it. She just stood still at the shower holding the wall for support.

”I said close your eyes!” Cali scolded him, feeling embarrassed of the fact that Rui saw her n.a.k.e.dness.

”We're in an emergency Cali… Do you think closing my eyes will apply? Stubborn. You probably have a cramp.” Rui uttered as he again carried Cali in his arms to her bed.

He checked her legs and moved them around a little so it would get comfortable and then, slightly massaged them too. He grabbed the first aid kit to attend to her bruises.

Cali was quiet, as she only watched his every movement. Somehow in her heart she could feel the familiarity of what he was doing. She felt like somehow had been taking care of her even before, from a time she couldn't remember. She felt it from the way he was doing it.

Rui noticed her hair was still wet so he grabbed a towel and started drying Cali's hair.

”I can do it myself…” she whispered but deep inside her heart she wanted him to take care of her. She even rejoiced a little, when Rui did not listen to her and continued drying her hair himself.
