Chapter 0162

SYDNEY'S POV

I watched Sandra's retreating figure with a look of amusement. The woman had a flair for the dramatic entries and exits, even when the situation didn't call for it. As soon as Sandra was out of sight, I glanced back at Mark who had turned around on the wheels of his wheelchair to fix the zipper of his hospital pants.

His amnesia didn't take away his feelings of self awareness at least, I thought. Who knew what had happened a few seconds before I arrived at the door. I did hear her complaining about him not being sexually active or something.

Mark turned back to face me, his brows arching up as though he was silently daring me to comment on his situation. And I felt heat creeping up my neck all because I was fighting back a laugh. Even with his memory gone, Mark still wouldn't stop acting tough. Talk about the kind of egoistic consistency that ran in one's veins.

I rolled my eyes and pretended not to hear his quip about Sandra. Whatever drama happened between them had nothing to do with me.

Instead, I fixed Mark with a challenging stare and stretched out five fingers in front of his face.

"How many is this?"

Mark scoffed. He looked like he was affronted by my audacity to test his mental faculties.

Did amnesiacs also somehow lose memories of certain words or phrases? Because I was tempted to tell him; "beggars can't be choosers", with how Insulted he looked because I'd asked him that. "I only have amnesia, not a full-on lobotomy. Don't treat me like a child.

Tretorted, "Then how do I know you're not just pretending to be smart? If your memory is truly intact, a simple counting exercise shouldn't be an issue," then waved my outstretched hand in front of his face again, "So, how many?

He fixed me with a glower that could almost peel paint but I knew there was no real power or grudge behind it anyway. It's not like he even remembered whatever past grudges he held.
