“Yes!” Halston sounded firm, and his tone brooked no arguments.
Heaving a long sigh, Seraphina gave up. “I see you won’t change your mind, but you have to bear the risks of this, including death. Have you really thought this through?”
“I can accept that.” After experiencing so many things, Halston had become insightful and was no longer afraid of death.
“Fine then, do whatever you want! I’ll stop meddling in your business!” Helpless, Seraphina ran out of the ward furiously, leaving Halston and Owen in the ward.
Owen pulled a chair and sat beside Halston’s bed, shrugging and smiling teasingly. “I think you made her mad.”
“She’s just insecure.
She probably thinks I’ll change my mind after the surgery.” Halston watched Seraphina leave and smiled bitterly.
It was Seraphina who stayed with him during those hard times.
He knew he should take responsibility for that by marrying her and giving her a lifetime of happiness.
Besides, he believed that he truly loved Seraphina, and the surgery would not affect his love for her.
He just wanted to fill in the blanks in his mind.
Raising his brows, Owen remarked thoughtfully, “All insecurities arise from a lack of self-esteem.
Maybe she thinks she isn’t suited for you, or maybe she didn’t get in this relationship by honest means.
If not, she wouldn’t be so worried.” “Not by honest means?” Frowning, Halston was perplexed by Owen’s explanation.
“It’s very normal that you don’t understand, but everything will come to light after the surgery.
You’ll know then why she’s feeling this way,” Owen said meaningfully.
As a neurosurgeon, he was aware of the means of controlling people’s brains.
It was hard not to doubt Seraphina since she was so frightened.
However, he kept it hidden from Halston because it was still too early to tell him.
“Okay, you can pick a suitable time for the surgery.
I’m ready whenever you are.” Halston’s indifferent remark painted him asa person who had nothing to live for.
Owen chuckled in amusement.
“Don’t act like you’ve got nothing to live for.
It’s just a minor surgery, but I don’t think you should have it now.
We should wait another ten to fourteen days until after you’ve recovered.” “Okay.” Halston nodded.
Owen leaned back in his chair, looking like he was contemplating something very deeply, “So, she’s your fiancee, huh? The one you loved dearly and experienced a lot with you? I thought you guys were lovey-dovey but now that I’ve seen it…
You both look like friends.
There’s no passion or anything indicating you both are lovers, and it’s very weird.” “Well, not all lovers are lovey-dovey with each other.
Although my fiancee and I have a dull relationship, what we feel for each other is true.” Halston analyzed the situation rationally.
“Not at all!” Owen disagreed.
“All people who are in love will feel strongly for their beloved but I didn’t see that in you when your fiancee was around.
Instead, I saw that in you when you were with another woman.” “Which woman are you referring to?” Halston demanded coldly.
“of course I’m talking about Flossie.
You bowed down and hired me to treat her brother.
I could see your passion for her, and I even felt that you guys looked more like a couple!” “We were once a couple,” Halston admitted sincerely.
“But that was in the past, and we were unhappy together.
It was because of her that I lost my memories and was nearly killed.” “Really? So, you had a love-hate relationship with her.
How interesting! Flossie is much more interesting than your fiancee.” Owen’s eyes gleamed as he asked Halston, “But do you know she’s injured?”
“She’s injured?” Halston’s calm expression immediately disappeared, and he sounded agitated as he asked urgently, ” When did this happen?” “Just now…
She joined a competition organized by some kindergarten and fell off a high platform.
It’s pretty serious.” Owen had watched the live broadcast of that competition out of boredom.
After seeing Halston’s reaction, he became even more curious about Halston and Flossie’s relationship.
He smirked and said teasingly, “She’s a mother with two kids, but you’re interested in her.
You both must have a very interesting story…
Maybe you’re the father of her kids.” “Nonsense,” Halston scoffed arrogantly, ”I’m not so vulgar to have kids with a frivolous woman like her.” The corners of Owen’s lips curved upwards into a knowing smile.
” Didn’t you lose your memory? How would you know? Did you ask your family about it?” “No, I didn’t,” Halston argued stubbornly.
“My family would have brought the kids home if they were related to me instead of not mentioning them at all.” “Maybe they have their concerns.” Owen shrugged and continued, “Anyway, there’s no point in guessing.
I’ll give you a full check- up when you’re recovered and see if I can help treat your brain.
If it goes smoothly, everything will come to light.” “Okay.” Halstonen nodded because that was the only possible solution now.
Meanwhile, his mind was fixed on something else.
The minute Owen left, Halston pulled the needle of his drip out, changed into clean clothes, and left the hospital secretly.
Elijah was waiting for Halston in a car downstairs.
He saw Halston’s pale face and frowned in concern.
“Sir, isn’t it bad for you to leave the hospital now?” “We’re leaving.
Hurry up and start the car,” Halston ordered icily.
“Okay, I’ll start the car now…” After starting the car, Elijah gripped the steering wheel and asked hesitantly, “But…
where are we going? The company?” Halston’s eyes narrowed menacingly, and he stopped himself from strangling Elijah.
“Didn’t I tell you I’m going to Flossie?” “Ah, did you say that? You just ordered me to come pick you up.” Elijah tried to defend himself when he sensed Halston’s murderous aura.
