The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

+58)

Chapter 160

The doctor and nurse stepped out, their expressions neutral. Raphael immediately approached, eager to get any

information.

Owen, on the other hand, stayed back, unwilling to ask. He feared hearing the same apology from the doctor as last time. He couldn’t endure this kind of torment any longer.

“The patient sustained a head injury, but it’s not life–threatening. She underwent stitches and should wake up once the anesthesia wears off,” the doctor said indifferently.

Owen felt a weight lift off his chest, relief flooding through him. Hailey was moved to a regular room, and Owen stayed beside her. Raphael remained outside, not because he didn’t want to be there, but because there was no point. They both knew that the chance was gone.

Hailey still hadn’t woken up from the anesthesia. She lay in her hospital gown, pale from blood loss. Her face was partially hidden beneath the blanket, giving her a fragile, pitiful appearance. The bandage on her forehead was stained with blood.

Owen stared at her, not once blinking. After a long moment, he leaned in and kissed her forehead softly.

At that moment, Hailey’s eyes fluttered open. Her gaze met his, and she whispered, “Owen…” Her eyes welled with tears, and a single drop slipped down her cheek.

“I remember,” she whispered.

It was unclear if it was the shock of the basement or the blow to her head, but as she regained consciousness, all her memories came rushing back. Yet, Hailey thought, ‘Maybe it’s better if I don’t remember.‘

Owen hadn’t fully processed her words when he noticed the redness around her eyes. He leaned down and gently kissed her eyelids. “Why are you crying? Isn’t remembering a good thing?”

His voice was so tender it could melt ice, his eyes filled with concern.

Hailey sobbed harder, tears streaming down her face. She raised her hand, her delicate fingers gripping his shirt as she whispered his name, again and again.

“Owen…”

“Owen…”

“Can you hug me?”

She was fragile, like a child seeking comfort.

Owen carefully pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her back, soothing her softly.
