Jilted Bride 248

Chapter 248

Early the next morning, in the hospital room, the warm sunlight of the morning filtered through the white curtains, casting, soft rays into the room.

Chloe rubbed her forehead, just opening her eyes when she was met with a pair of eyes, staring at her without blinking.

For a moment, she felt like she had returned to the past, back when Noah didn't know who she was and why she had gotten close to him.

In his deep blue eyes, it was as if waves were crashing, slowly softening

In the still room, Chloe could hear the erratic beating of her own heart.

"When are we going home? The hospital bed isn't comfortable at all, not like the couch at home." Noah stretched lazily, clearly not having slept well. Hearing that familiar voice but with an unfamiliar tone, speaking a long string of words, Chloe immediately lost the tenderness that had been in her eyes. "There's another check-up in the morning. After that, we can go home," Chloe replied as she stood up from the couch, a blanket slipping off her as she did. Wyatt had been sent home by Chloe last night, so this blanket definitely wasn't his.

She picked it up from the floor and set it aside, glancing at Noah in the bed. "I'm going downstairs to get breakfast. Do you want anything?" "Pie, of course," said Noah.

"Alright." Chloe turned and walked out, not needing to ask him what kind of pie. Some habits and tastes, even with his memory loss, hadn't changed.

As Chloe reached the door, she glanced back into the room once more.

Noah was lying in bed, resting his hands behind his head, gazing lazily at the white ceiling.

Her eyes, long and intense, refused to look away, yet had to.

Chloe left the room and entered the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, a tall, strong figure dressed in black stepped out from another elevator, flanked by two bodyguards wearing the same black uniforms. His long eyelashes fluttered, and his amber eyes gleamed in the morning sunlight, turning a rich golden hue.

He quickly located the room, peering through the glass at the man in the bed. Upon seeing his foot in a cast, his stern brows furrowed.

His soft features hardened in an instant, his face turning serious

He entered the room, and the two bodyguards stood by the door, one on each side.

Noah shifted slightly. "Did you forget your
