But suddenly the nurse rushed towards him and said something that surprised him
"Sir, the woman's head is bleeding a lot, and her face is destroyed, we need a photo of hers or else we would have to make a decision on our own" The nurse explained desperately and she was accompanied by a doctor, who told the same.
Having no time to think through it, Alex showed the photo of Ashley which was on his phone and shared it with the nurse and the doctor, who left after taking a print of that photo.
'I hope at least she survives' Alex leaned his head back and closed his eyes, recollecting how he ended up getting entangled with Ashley and the Park family as he waited for the cops to arrive, he was sure he would be blamed in Ashley's death.
...
Few hours later, the doctor in charge of the operation approached Alex and woke up the man sleeping on the chair to inform him of the successful operation.
Alex was feeling drowsy but he followed the doctor to his room as he was worried about the woman he saved.
"Alex, let me update you about the situation of your wife" The doctor cleared his throat nervously.
Alex was not in the state of mind to care about correcting the doctor and saying, 'She is not my wife, my wife is dead'
He was sure the cops would be here sooner or later so he lifelessly heard what the doctor wanted to say. He thought instead of Ash, I would have die then there will be no problem at all. He took a bottle of sleeping tablets to eat as he was attempting suicided because he can't live a life with a guilt as they had not cleared their misunderstanding. While he was about to take the sleeping pills then the nurse came running towards him.
"Sir doctor is calling you please come with me" nurse came there in time. As Alex heard the nurse voice dropped the idea to take sleeping pills and followed her.
After reaching the room, Alex asked "how is her condition doctor?"
"Alex, your wife's face was destroyed and we performed plastic surgery on time, so her face is now fine" The doctor informed to which Alex just nodded his head.
He was fine as long as this woman is alive.
"But there is one bad news" The doctor hesitatingly said.
'Of course, there is a bad news. My life which is full of bad luck, can never get any news without the word 'bad' associated with it' Alex again cursed his fate but what he heart next, surprised him.
"We think, your wife lost her memory" The doctor informed Alex and he was not sure what to say.
"What?" Alex asked him in confusion.
"Yeah. There is a 90% chance, she lost her memories" The doctor again said.
Alex was calm for a few minutes, wondering about something.
After a while he finally spoke, "Can I see my wife?"
"Sure" The doctor then took him to the room where the patient was resting and on the way the doctor informed him that she was still sleeping and didn't gain her consciousness.
"When will she comes into conscious and when will you remove the bandage and can send home"
"It will take some time to come into conscious as head injury was severe and we will remove bandage after 48hrs. Now we will shift her into special room" doctor replied.
"Please stay in the special room as you know one most be with a patient once shifted to special room"
Alex replied "yes doctor" and went to the reception and as they allotted a special suit he was waiting there and then they shifted his wife.
Seeing her lying on the bed Alex thought after 48hrs his life will either turn for the worst or finally turn for the better.
He recollected the events from past one year how he encounter with Park Ashley, the CEO of the Park Conglomerate.
