Despite admitting his mistake, Michael Cooper didn't seem to hear Krister's admission of guilt. His attention was fixated on Eva, who lay on the bed as a doctor examined her.

After the examination, the doctor removed his glasses and said to Michael Cooper, "Mr. Cooper, it seems this young lady has suffered only some superficial injuries; there doesn't seem to be any other problem."

Krister, standing to the side, felt relieved upon hearing the doctor's assessment that Eva had only suffered minor injuries. Thankfully, it looked like just a superficial wound. If she had been seriously injured, he'd have to suffer Cooper's wrath. Before, he thought that a little shove was no big deal since it was actually Penelope who caused the trouble. He didn't expect the woman to be so delicate that she fainted at the slightest push.

"But... "Just then, the doctor's voice suddenly changed.

Michael, who had been uneasy from the beginning, frowned when he heard the doctor's hesitation, "But what?"

"All I can detect at the moment is external injuries, but since it's a head injury, I strongly recommend that once she wakes up, she should go back to the hospital for a follow up and a thorough examination to rule out any serious dangers." It took Michael a moment to realize what the doctor meant." Can we take her now?"

The doctor hesitated, "It's not impossible, but ...... Given that we don't know how long she's been unconscious, you must be extremely careful if you're going to the hospital."

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Michael had already taken her in his arms and instructed his companion, Krister, with an expressionless face. "Ready the car."

The doctor thought his job was done and was about to say goodbye when Michael suddenly commanded, "Come with us in case anything happens on the way." The doctor was caught off guard. The doctor nodded, thinking it made sense, and signaled his assistant to get the medical kit.

The assistant hurried to keep pace with them, the pre-prepared vehicle was spacious enough and the seats were laid out flat. Michael got in and carefully placed Eva in the seat.

Then, as if thinking of something, he took off his own jacket and covered the unconscious Eva.

Once everything was settled, the driver finally spoke up and asked, "Mr. Cooper, shall we go?"

Michael nodded, agreeing in his usual supercilious tone, "Let's go."

The vehicle then pulled away.

On the way to the hospital, Michael's eyes were fixed on Eva's face.

The sleeping Eva's face was incredibly peaceful.

Her pale complexion and delicate cheeks, which seemed to be fragile at the slightest touch, made the wound on her forehead stand out starkly.

Michael's heart grew even colder at the thought of how she had been injured.

However, punishing Penelope and Krister would have to be put off for a while; the first order of business was to get Eva's injuries healed.

After everyone hurried to the hospital and completed the necessary medical tests, Eva finally woke up.

She was scheduled to be examined, but as she slowly regained consciousness, the people around her were immediately overjoyed and alerted the rest of the group. "She's awake."

When she opened her eyes, Michael Cooper had just finished checking the procedure list and settling her down. He hurriedly dropped the paperwork he was holding and walked quickly toward her. When Eva opened her eyes, She saw several unfamiliar faces around her..

She frowned slightly and began to speak, "Uh"

"Eva, you're awake."

Michael's voice cut through the murmur of voices and everyone instinctively stepped back to make way for him.

Michael approached Eva and gently helped her sit up.

"I'm glad to see you're awake. Do you feel okay?"

Eva looked at Michael and felt surrounded by a sense of strangeness; the concern in his arms and tone was obvious, yet she didn't recognize him.

"Who are you?"

Her first question stopped Michael in his tracks.

"Huh?"

He thought he must have misheard her, otherwise why would she ask who he was?

But Eva's next words made it clear to Michael that he hadn't misheard at all.

"Who are you?"

She asked again, this time with a clearer tone and more doubt in her gaze.

Not only that, but she looked around and asked the others, "Who are you all?"

Everyone was silent.

The fact that she didn't recognize them wasn't a problem-they were strangers to her as well. It was enough that they knew this woman was the woman Mr. Cooper was obsessed with. But now she didn't even seem to know Mr. Cooper?

Someone saw the cut on her forehead and said, 'She couldn't have hit her head and forgotten Mr. Cooper, could she?'

Another said skeptically, "Really? A bump on the head and she lost her memory? That's like something out of a novel."

It wasn't uncommon to hit one's head, but it was indeed rare to lose one's memory as a result of such an accident. Hearing this, Michael frowned, the word "amnesia" flying through his mind.

"Eva, it's me."

Silence filled the air for a moment before Michael finally said without introducing himself, "Don't you remember me?"

Hearing his words, Eva glanced at him, her clear gaze sweeping over his face. After looking at him for a long time, her eyes seemed a bit blank and she shook her head, signaling that she didn't recognize him. Michael Cooper's frown deepened.

She fell and didn't recognize him?

How was that possible?

Just as he was thinking about it, Eva began to struggle to sit up, but the move irritated her wound, causing her to suck in a sharp breath of pain.

"Take it easy," Michael warned, quickly steadying her trembling body." You're hurt. Lie still until we're done with the check."

"Check?" Although Eva didn't recognize the man in front of her, she could sense his concern and the situation.

Based on the conversation so far and her current predicament, she surmised that something had happened that caused her to lose her memory.

Thinking of this, Eva took the initiative and asked, "Why do I need a checkup? Did something happen to me before this?"

Michael had only suspected that she had lost her memory, but her question pretty much confirmed that she could not remember anything. Still, he found it hard to believe. He pursed his lips and instead of answering her question directly, he stared at her silently before asking, "Do you remember why you wanted to see me?"

"I ..... wanted to see you?" Eva responded softly, repeating his question.

Michael nodded.

"Yes, you came to me. Do you remember why?"

Why?

Eva looked at him, confusion in her eyes. She couldn't remember Michael at all, let alone the reason she had come to him.

She tried to turn her thoughts over, but just as a certain thought occurred to her, a stabbing pain surged through her head, causing her to let out an involuntary cry of pain.

"That hurts."
