They went to Elizabeth’s ward together. Pushing the door open, they found that Elizabeth was half-lying on the bed. Her head was bandaged. Upon hearing the sound, she looked over. Her dully eyes lit up.
“Please go in. I’ll wait for you outside.” Theresa let go of Armand’s hand. When she turned around, Elizabeth said to her, “Who are you, girl?”
Theresa didn’t look back, keeping walking.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! Don’t ignore me!” Elizabeth snapped, “Let me tell you. Armand is married. Don’t you dare to pester him!”
Armand walked to her, “Grandma…”
“Stop calling me!” Elizabeth snapped to interrupting him, “Theresa has lost her baby because of you. I wonder how she’s doing now. How can you hook up with another woman? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Theresa was taken aback while standing at the door. She wondered if Elizabeth had truly lost her memories and forgotten who she was.
“Grandma.” Armand walked to the bed and looked at his grandmother, “Because Theresa and I won’t have children, you want us to divorce. Have you forgotten it?”
Elizabeth looked at Armand. Her turbid eyes became confused. Suddenly she said in a deep voice, “Stop talking nonsense! How can I ask you to divorce?”
Armand looked back at Theresa, meeting her gaze. They both were wondering if Elizabeth had truly lost her memories temporarily just like what the doctor said.
Suddenly, Elizabeth pulled Armand’s hand and reminded him seriously, “Armand, we must do things to carry the weight of our conscience. Theresa has lost the baby and was injured because of you. You should be responsible for her and expiate your guilt. You can’t pester with some other girls.”
Armand said OK, “I won’t disappoint Theresa, Grandma.”
“Okay. Send that girl away. When Theresa comes back and sees her, she’ll be upset,” said Elizabeth crossly.
Armand said OK. He walked to Theresa and pulled her to the corridor.
“It seems Grandma can’t recognize you.” Armand couldn’t tell what he was feeling now. He didn’t think it might be a bad thing.
Theresa said, “The doctor said she might have lost some memories, didn’t he?”
Armand nodded. They wanted to wait for the checkup. The next day, Elizabeth had a checkup. According to the brain scan, her memory loss was caused by congestion and nerve compression in the brain. She might recover soon, or she might only remember the previous events and never remember the recent events.
Out of the consultation room, Armand said, ‘Theresa, this might be a good thing.”
Theresa knew what he meant. However, she was still hesitant, “What if she suddenly remembers everything?”
Armand was rendered speechless.
Theresa sat on the bench in the corridor, “Lola has transferred the tailor’s shop in City C to me. I’ll develop my career there from now on. I can’t stay here.”
Armand blurted out, “I can follow you to move to City C.”
Theresa looked up at him, “What about your career?”
Armand walked to her and squatted down. He took her hand and said, “If you’re willing to, I can give up everything. I can take my grandmother and move to City C with you.”
Armand’s suggestion came so suddenly. Theresa couldn’t decide at all.
“Honestly, after you left City B, I went to see you in secret. That day, you dressed up so beautifully. You were talking to Oscar while smiling at him. When I saw you guys, I felt quite upset. I’ve been trying to convince myself that as long as you are happy, I’ll be satisfied. But… I can’t let go of you at all.” He stared at her deeply, “You can’t let go of me either, can you?”
“You’d better figure out how you can tell your grandmother I’m Theresa. I’ll give you two days. If you can resolve it, I’ll agree. I’ve fallen for you twice already…”
Armand covered her months, “Don’t speak anything ominous. I’ve brought so much trouble to you. I must compensate you.”
In the following two days, Armand kept convincing his grandmother, telling her that the girl who was walking hand-in-hand with him was Theresa, but Elizabeth refused to believe him.
Armand told her what Theresa had experienced.
Elizabeth’s memory stopped in the period when Theresa was injured and left. Armand said everything reasonable, so Elizabeth believed him finally although she was still a bit confused.
Armand transferred his case to another lawyer in the firm. Now it was under processing. The husband cheated on his wife and beat her, causing the miscarriage of the baby. Hence, the divorce was certain. The man was wiped out and needed to bear legal responsibility.
Armand let the servant take care of Elizabeth at home first. He went to City C with Theresa to buy a house.
Theresa was afraid that he was doing it recklessly as he dumped everything in City B and moved to City C, “Have you truly made up your mind, Armand?” she asked.
She didn’t want him to regret it in the future.
Armand said affirmatively, “As long as we can be together, I’m fine with staying anywhere.”
Before moving to City C, he went to see Cormac, telling him that he had decided to move to City C. He wasn’t asking Cormac for his opinions but just informing him.
Cormac agreed with him. He has his own intention â?Oscar had a young mind, but he was getting old. JK Group, which Oscar was in charge of now, belonged to Loredana, so Oscar couldn’t be in charge forever. In the future, someone must take it over from him.
Right now, Cormac didn’t have any trusted helpers. If Armand moved to City C, this problem could be resolved smoothly. Besides, there was also a textile mill. Kevin couldn’t go back there for the time being. Besides, Kevin was also getting old. Someone else needed to take it over in the future for sure.
If Armand settled down in City C, all those problems could be resolved.
Cormac also had another thought, but he would decide after discussing it with Loredana.
“You better not regret what you’ve said,” said Theresa. She was worried that things would return to how it was before once Armand’s grandmother woke up.
Armand hugged Theresa and said, “I won’t”
And he will prove it to Theresa.
“Come take a nap in my arms,” Armand stroked Theresa’s face, but she pushed his hands away. She didn’t like Armand to goof around regardless of the occasion.
Armand acted like he was in pain as he pretended that Theresa had touched his wound. Theresa immediately looked nervous, “Did I touch your wounds?”
“Yeah,” Armand nodded.
Theresa felt guilty as she was why Armand got injured. It needed more than ten stitches to seal his wound. How would it be healed in just two days? “Come, let me have a look.”
Theresa wanted to see if Armand was still bleeding.
Armand said, “I’m fine. Let me lean on you.”
Theresa soon realized, “You’re pretending it?”
Armand quickly shook his head, “No, my wound is here. Why would I pretend?”
“Did I touch your wound?” Theresa purposely pressed on Armand’s wound. It really hurt this time. Armand moaned a little.
Theresa didn’t press too hard. She scolded Armand a little, “Lie to me again, and you shall die in pain.”
Armand leaned on Theresa’s shoulder, “You’d let me?”
“Why not? I wanted you dead,” Theresa purposely answered rudely and unreasonably.
