Suzanne’s smile was gentle. “You’re up? Are you hungry? I’ll have the housekeeper reheat the food foryou.”

Just as Suzanne was about to get to her feet, Nathan pulled her close to him. He hugged her from theside and rested his chin on her shoulder. “I’m not hungry. Just talk to me for now.”

Suzanne pursed her lips. “Well, what do you want to talk about?”

Nathan sighed. “How’s Daniel doing?”

“He’s still in the ICU and hasn’t improved at all. He’s barely holding on with help from a ventilator.”

Nathan pulled a ring out of his pocket. At the sight of the beautiful ring, Suzanne’s heart leaped andshe was too moved to speak.

It had been six months since they had been married, and he had never given her a ring before.

This is something Daniel specifically asked to give to his first love efore the incident,” Nathanexplained.

Suzanne’s face fell. All her expectations and excitement vanished. She replied in disappointment, “Oh.”

“I want him to deliver this ring personally.” Nathan placed the ring in Suzanne’s hand. “When you go tothe hospital tomorrow, have it disinfected by the doctors and then put it on his finger.”

Nathan stared at her with dull and lifeless eyes. Deep down, he felt at subtle sense of fear. He fearedthat the operation might fail and

Suzanne wouldn’t wake up. He feared that she would leave him once she regained her memories.

She had been abroad for ten years and had never been in touch with him. She even changed hernationality and showed no sign of wanting to return to Norvania. She saw him only as her childhoodplaymate, without any deeper feelings
