The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 509 - 520 I’m Back (9)

With a cold face, he packed his things and turned to walk outside.

"Koa!"

Lia grabbed his sleeve and explained anxiously, "Forgive me, okay? I really didn’t mean it, I just couldn’t help myself, I... I’ve liked you for a long time, and today I really couldn’t help it, I didn’t expect Mia to suddenly come in."

"Let go!" Koa lowered his gaze and looked at her hand, enduringly saying.

"Will you forgive me?"

"I told you to let go!" Koa said coldly, lifting his gaze to meet hers, his voice hoarse, "Don’t talk to me about feelings, do we have anything like that between us?"

"I do." Lia pursed her lips tightly.

"Keep some dignity." Koa waved her hand away and turned to leave.

One hand hanging by his side was trembling.

Bob’s words echoed repeatedly in his ears, and just thinking about it, he could guess what had happened.

News?

Ha...

What could put him and Lia in the news?

It’s shameful that he knew nothing.

Shameful, that Mia didn’t say a word to him.

Not verifying wasn’t due to trust, but because... she didn’t want him to be distracted.

So foolishly beyond help.

Koa thought about this and temporarily didn’t go to the inpatient department.

He went back to the apartment once.

After coming back from the rescue, they had one week of rest. He had originally planned to go home and then take Mia out for a few days.

To comfort her from the pain of missing him during this time.

Actually—

Wasn’t she suffering?

He deeply experienced what it was like to miss someone.

Every moment, every second.

His longing probably wasn’t less than that girl’s, and it was unpleasant.

Thinking about her made his whole body tense and painful.

But now—

He’s back, they’ve met, but things developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Mia isn’t Charlotte’s biological daughter?

What exactly happened?

In the short month he was gone, how many things did that girl go through?

He knew nothing.

He genuinely knew nothing.

——

From this night onwards.

Koa went through the longest two weeks of his life.

Mia stayed in the ICU for observation for two days and nights, and on the third morning, she was moved to a special care ward.

She opened her eyes, but she wasn’t fully conscious.

Aurora and a hired senior nurse took care of her day and night. He wanted to step forward but couldn’t stay with Mia all the time.

He went a few times each day, each time standing by to take a look.

Sometimes Mia was asleep, sometimes awake, looking slightly dazed at him.

Her eyes becoming clearer, like a child.

——

He went home on the weekend.

On the noon of the twenty-sixth, Koa left work and exited the outpatient building.

Heading to the inpatient department.

Just reaching the fourth floor, two nurses greeted him with bright smiles: "Hello, Dr. Jackson."

"Mm." Koa nodded, continuing towards Mia’s room.

Almost at the door, another nurse came out quickly, seeing him, stopped in surprise, then smiled, "Dr. Jackson, I was just about to go to the clinic to find you. Your girlfriend is awake. She could talk and recognize people since yesterday afternoon, Professor Quinn has already seen her."

Koa paused, "Got it, I’ll go take a look."

"Mm." The nurse breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Koa stood outside the door for a moment, hearing Aurora’s light laughter inside, heaved a sigh and stepped in.

Mia lay in bed, and upon raising her eyes, she saw him and smiled gently with frailty.

Koa looked at her, pursed his lips.

He went to the bedside, speaking softly, "How do you feel?"

"I feel tired," Mia smiled wryly, glancing at Aurora, softly asked, "Mom, what’s this doctor’s name?"

Aurora had some issues with Koa.

Hadn’t exchanged words with him these days.

Originally planned to persuade them to break up once Mia woke.

Therefore—

Seeing Mia awake not asking about Koa, she hadn’t brought it up either.

Now, seeing her innocently asking, she paused, hesitantly saying, "What are you saying?"

Mia looked a bit embarrassed, glanced at Koa, smiled with pursed lips, turned to Aurora, softly said, "I know this doctor brother often visits me, he’s my attending doctor, right?"

She blinked, her tone gentle, expression probing.

Koa looked at her, unable to respond immediately, silently standing in place.

Not saying a word.

Aurora suddenly snapped out of it, laughed, "Yes. He is your attending doctor, surname is Jackson, ’River Clear and Sea Jackson’ Jackson."

"Oh." Mia nodded, her eyes curved, smiling gently, "Hello, Dr. Jackson."

Grateful expression.

Seeing Koa remain silent, she added, "Thank you, you’ve been very attentive these days."

The room was deathly silent.

Koa looked at her, all the prepared tenderness and comfort became useless.

Never did he anticipate this possibility.

She woke up, this girl... doesn’t recognize him?

How could this be?

She doesn’t recognize him, but remembers Aurora?

Koa instinctively glanced at Aurora, she too was looking at him with undeniable astonishment in her eyes.

Witnessing the silent exchange, Mia seemed puzzled.

Just as she was about to ask, inadvertently lifting her gaze, she saw Dallas stepping in with a flower basket.

Dallas had visited a few times.

Mia was always asleep.

Seeing her awake now, naturally surprised, he approached with a smile, "Finally awake, how do you feel?"

"Alright, thank you, officer."

Mia’s shoulder moved slightly, she smiled at him.

Dallas smiled at her with relief.

Koa watched them talk, still silent.

Aurora also watched, as Dallas was about to speak, a sudden idea struck her, she interrupted him, throwing Mia a smile and softly chided, "You silly girl, it’s not the right time, why are you still calling him officer?"

"Eh?" Mia had a puzzled look.

Not calling him officer?

Should she be calling him President Taylor?

Her mind struggled to work, thinking things was tiring.

Aurora laughed looking at her, soft voice inquiry, "How could you forget? President Taylor is now your fiancé."
