The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 123

I stayed at the hospital for three days. They needed to make sure that I was okay. Silas didn't leave me during those three days except when the nurses told him to do so at night. admit, I'm enjoying his company, but I don't feel anything towards him. Yes, I'm more than grateful for his help, but shouldn't I feel love for him? The kind of love that would make me want to throw myself in his embrace the moment I see him. The kind of love that would make me long for his kiss. I caught myself one time thinking about how his lips tasted against mine, but it was mere curiosity. He has been very considerate with me. Yes, he hugs me, holds my hand and kisses my cheek, but not once has he tried to kiss me. Is he waiting for me to give him the green light? Am I supposed to make the first move or ask him to kiss me? "You remember me, right?" Lily asks me with fear in her voice when I walk inside our home. "Of course I do,

I tell her. "Aren't me She towards me when I say that. I wince when into and quickly apologizes. Mum and Dad didn't bring Lily and Holden to the hospital because the whole family has been trying to keep a low profile ever since the accident took place. There were a lot of reporters in front of the hospital this morning. I was not sure how they learned that I was leaving, but Mum told me they had been coming on a daily basis, trying to catch any photos for the family.

My right ankle is fractured, so my leg is in a cast. With the help of my dad, I walk to the living room. I take a seat on the couch and stretch my legs. Silas was with me this morning when I left the hospital, but he said that he needed to go pick his sister up because she wanted to see me.

I'm still not used to being around him all the time. I'm not sure if whatever I'm feeling is some sort of discomfort or if this all just seems foreign to me because my mind cannot accept that we're now dating, but I think I need my distance. The thing is, I don't know how to tell him that without hurting him. He has been absolutely considerate and nice to me, so causing him the least amount of pain is the last thing I want to do.

"Here you go." Kendall hands me a glass of strawberry juice before taking a seat beside me. "You've got a lot on your mind, she says, looking at me.

"Can you blame me?" I inhale. "I'm perplexed and... I hate how I feel that there's a big chunk of my life missing."

"That's understandable. You don't have to feel bad because you feel like that. I can help you out with anything you want," she tells me.

"Rosie!" I hear my brother's voice calling my name the second he steps inside the house. I know that he had soccer practice. That's why he wasn't home when I first arrived.

"Hey buddy," I say with a smile, handing my juice to Kendall before hugging Holden.

"I was so worried about you," he says, making my heart tingle. "You're okay now, right?"

"I'm all right, Holden. My memory is just a little bit fuzzy, but I'm sure that I'm going to get it back," I tell him. I'm not sure if I'm going to get my memory back or not, but I want to assure my brother that there's nothing to worry about. I cannot push away the doctor's words about the possibility of not getting back my memory

"What can't you remember?" he wonders. "You can remember us, right?"
