In the doctor's cabin, the man with the dark aura threw a fit, yelling, "Leo, what is happening? Why is she...?" He choked on his words, sitting on the floor, holding his head in distress. Tears fell down his cheek, and amidst the turmoil, his once intense expression transformed, revealing a glimpse of gentleness on his handsome face.
Doctor Leo assured, "She will be fine. It will take time to heal, but her memory..." He observed the once cold person showing vulnerability in front of him, a rare display of weakness.
"El, Listen to me... Right now, she is Maria, like she was 2 years ago. We need to be careful, buddy. She may not show any signs of a mental breakdown right now, but it may strain her brain if we rush everything at once. Give her time to heal first and have some patience," he said, patting his back in a reassuring manner.
"It's all because of me. She will never forgive me, man. I caused this..." His usual demeaning aura was nowhere to be found, replaced by a profound sense of guilt and self-blame.
Dr. Leo was taken aback by Elfred's self-blaming, thinking he blamed himself for the harm he caused to Maria. However, Elfred's sadness emitted a profound sense of loss, as if he was mourning someone.
"Are you hiding something from me!!!!! my friend?" Dr. Leo asked doubtfully.
Elfred stared into the distance, his gaze fixed on something unseen as his thoughts seemed to be lost in contemplation or reflection.
Back at the Maria's room, A beautiful and unique white orchid with a purple border was delicately placed on the table as Uncle Lu was watering it gently, which was emitting a sweet fragrance that filled the space with a soothing aroma.
Maria asked," Wow!!!!!!! It's so beautiful, and It smells so good."
"The presence of the orchid seemed to have played a role in your healing process, contributing to your improved well-being. Young miss."
He continued to gently caress the orchid, appreciating its presence and the comfort it brought to the room.
"I know sis, you will heal in no time" Eagon smiled as he looked at Maria.
Maria could hardly believe that she could be part of Valdenor family, The Valdenor family stood as one of the wealthiest and most important force in the market in the whole city. Their financial prowess and influence extended across various industries, solidifying their status as a formidable presence in the business world.
Having lived her whole life living as an orphan, Maria found herself at a loss, struggling to believe whether she was truly Alvie Valdenor or not. The revelations about her identity had created a profound sense of uncertainty and disbelief, casting a shadow over her understanding of who she truly was. The stark contrast between her perceived identity and the newfound truth added another layer of complexity to her emotions causing her nauseous and stomachache.
Despite her confusion, Maria decided to stay with Eagon. He made her feel at home, and in her weakened state, she chose to trust her instincts rather than attempting to run from the complexities of her identity.
After completing all of the medical tests, it was finally time to eat. The aroma of hospital-grade food filled the air as a tray with a simple meal was placed before her. The menu consisted of a bland soup, accompanied by plain crackers and a small serving of steamed vegetables. Despite the lack of culinary excitement, the nourishment was essential for her recovery.
As she took each spoonful, she saw Eagon having full meal, as if he hadn't eaten in days, stirred a twinge of jealousy in her eyes. It felt truly unfair to watch him enjoy a full meal while she could only swallow her saliva.
"You want some?" he innocently asked her, prompting a gentle pat on the shoulder from the middle-aged man, Uncle Lu, who scolded him, "She needs to heal first."
"Don't worry, young miss. I will make your favorite meal when the doctor says so," Uncle Lu reassured her with a warm smile. She ate her soup in sadness.
Uncle Lu sighed. "Young miss, I will make your favorite chicken."
Her eyes brightened upon hearing Uncle Lu's comforting words about preparing her favorite food. She glanced at Eagon, who was devouring his food as if he hadn't eaten in days. The sight of his hearty appetite added a touch of normalcy to the otherwise complex and confusing situation.
Soon Uncle Lu left the ward to fetch her test results, leaving a moment of quiet in the room. After finishing his meal, Eagon walked towards Maria and sat at the end of her bed as he continued his conversation. Maria felt a lot better after resting and talking with Eagon. The conversation and the support from her twin brother had a positive impact on her well-being.
As she observed Eagon, the young master of Valdenor family, possessed a unique blend of cuteness and handsomeness. His features, while charmingly cute with an endearing touch, also held a refined handsomeness that added to his overall appeal. With expressive eyes reflecting both warmth and depth, he carried himself with a certain grace that hinted at his status as a young master. The combination of his cute demeanor and handsome features made Eagon a striking and memorable figure in her eyes.
As both siblings were engrossed in conversation, Uncle Lu pushed the door open, once again short of breath. "Code Red," he announced urgently, interrupting the moment with a sense of urgency and concern.
Eagon's mood shifted to concern. "Sis, we need to go,"
Without further explanation, he lifted Maria into his arms and swiftly shifted her into a wheelchair. In a spur of the moment, they made their way outside, and she was carefully placed inside a waiting car.
"What about him?"
"He said he will distract them. Young miss needs to be in a safe house ASAP," Uncle Lu explained, emphasizing the urgency of Maria's safety. Eagon didn't ask further, his tense expression remaining unchanged. Observing Eagon's tense expression, Maria watched him quietly, sensing the seriousness of the situation.
Soon after, she fell asleep on Eagon's lap, finding comfort in the midst of uncertainty. Eagon, however, remained awake, vigilant, and focused until they reached safehouse.
