Chapter 301
Alexander nodded stiffly, though he didn’t fully relax. He turned to Dion, who had just returned. “Ensure everything is ready for the transfer. I want no delays when the time comes p>
Dion gave a quick nod. “Already taken care of, Boss p>
Sanya approached Alexander, placing a reassuring hand on his arm. “She’s out of danger, Alexander. That’s the most important thing right now p>
William chimed in, “We’ll stay here with you until she wakes up p>
Alexander didn’t respond immediately, his eyes fixed on the doors leading to the recovery room. “I won’t leave her side,” he said softly, almost to himself.
Then he looked at Tim and demanded, “I want to see her right now p>
Tim allowed Alexander into the recovery room, where he immediately walked to Rain’s bedside. His usually composed demeanor cracked as he gazed at her pale, unconscious form. Taking her hand gently, he pressed it to his lips, his eyes misting over.
“Thank God you’re fine,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “I was so worried, Rain. I thought I was going to lose you, and it felt like the world was collapsing around me p>
He brushed a strand of hair from her face and sat beside her, holding her hand as if letting go would somehow harm her. The steady beep of the monitors was the only sound in the room, but Alexander didn’t move.
Minutes turned into hours as he remained rooted in his spot, his thumb lightly stroking the back of her hand. When Tim returned to inform him that Rain would be moved to her private room, Alexander merely nodded, never releasing her hand as the medical staff carefully transferred her.
Once settled in her room, Alexander stood alert at her bedside, his anxiety refusing to fade. She still hadn’t woken up, and the sight of her lying there, so still, gnawed at his soul.
He leaned closer, his forehead lightly touching the back of her hand. “I won’t leave you, Rain. I’ll be here when you wake up. Please, open your eyes soon. I just need to hear you say my name… then I’ll know you’re really okay p>
Rain soon stirred, and Alexander’s heart almost skipped a beat. William, who was also inside the private room with Sanya, immediately called for the doctor.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. “Rain, I’m here… You’re safe now,” Alexander murmured, but Rain just frowned at him.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?” he asked. Tim soon arrived with his team and began checking on Rain. “Father,” Rain finally spoke.
“Yes, Rain. What’s wrong? Are you in pain?” Tim asked, concern in his voice. “What happened?” she asked, then suddenly clutched her head. “I feel like my head is bursting p>
Alexander panicked as he demanded, “What’s wrong with her? Did you properly check her?!” He was still holding her hand, but Rain suddenly pulled her hand away from him. She looked at Tim and asked, “Father, who is this man? I don’t know him. Why is he holding my hand p>
Rain’s words struck Alexander like a thunderbolt. He froze, his hand still outstretched toward hers, while an icy wave of disbelief coursed through him. “Rain… it’s me, Alexander,” he said softly, his voice trembling.
Rain’s brows furrowed deeper as she glanced at him, her expression clouded with confusion and slight discomfort. “I don’t know you,” she repeated, her voice uncertain but firm. “Why are you here p>
Sanya gasped, covering her mouth, while William stepped forward, his face pale. “Rain, it’s Alexander. Your husband,” Sanya said gently, trying to jog her memory.
Tim immediately intervened, placing a calming hand on Alexander’s shoulder. “Alexander, I need you to step back for a moment,” he said firmly. “We need to assess her condition p>
“No!” Alexander snapped, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. “Something is wrong. She knows me! She has to know me p>
Rain flinched at his raised voice, and Tim gestured for the nurses to escort Alexander toward the door. Sanya placed a hand on Alexander’s arm, her eyes filled with concern. “Let him check her first,” she whispered.
Reluctantly, Alexander stepped back, his hands shaking as he watched Tim examine Rain.
“Rain,” Tim began gently, sitting on the edge of the bed, “do you remember what happened before you were brought here p>
Rain hesitated, her hand instinctively moving to her head. “I… I don’t know. My head hurts, and everything feels… blank,” she admitted, her voice trembling.
Alexander’s knees nearly buckled at her words. He clung to the back of a chair for support, his heart pounding in his chest.
“Is this… is this temporary?” he demanded, his eyes fixed on Tim. “Tell me this is just temporary p>
Tim sighed deeply, “It could be amnesia caused by the trauma of the accident. We need to run some more tests to understand the extent of her memory loss. Right now, we should avoid overwhelming her p>
Rain glanced between them, confusion and unease etched on her face. “Father… why is he so upset p>
Alexander clenched his fist, his jaw tightening with frustration. “I’ll have her transferred right now,” he said, his voice low and tense.
“No, Father, please! Don’t let me go with this man. I don’t know him! Father, please!” Rain’s voice trembled with fear as she reached out toward Tim, desperate for his reassurance.
Alexander’s blood ran cold as Rain’s words hit him like a punch to the gut. Her voice, filled with desperation, echoed in his ears, and for a moment, he couldn’t move.
He wanted to reach out to her, to remind her that he was her husband, the man who had promised to love and protect her. But her pleading eyes told him that she didn’t remember him… not at all.
“Rain,” he whispered, taking a cautious step toward her. “It’s me… Alexander. Please, listen to me. I’m your husband. You know me p>
But Rain recoiled, her eyes wide with fear as she looked up at Tim. “Father, please!” she cried, her voice trembling. “Please don’t let him take me. I don’t know him. I don’t want to go with him p>
