Chapter 54: I remember now
Time felt as though it had come to a complete stop at that moment as my mind struggled to register the words that I had just heard and my brows were furrowed together to form a deep crease in my forehead.
To say I was confused was an understatement. What did she mean? My medical report? Why would he need my medical report? How did he get it without my consent? Millions of questions were swirling in my head like a hurricane and thoughts were buzzing in my mind endlessly.
"Hello?" The unfamiliar voice greeted me once again when I didn’t say a word, jolting me back to reality in an instant.
"What?" I muttered under my breath, finally getting the word out of my throat.
The lady on the phone immediately apologised as soon as she heard my voice. "I’m so sorry!" I could hear her flustered voice, she must have thought that she messed up somehow. "I must have gotten the wrong number."
"No, you didn’t," I quickly said and I could almost hear a sigh of relief. "I’m his wife."
There was a brief moment of silence that stretched between us as my grip on his phone tightened unknowingly and my lips were pursed into a thin line. The gears in my head were shifting as a thought popped into my head at that very second.
"Actually..." I began, my voice trailing off as my heart started thumping loudly against my chest and I was overwhelmed with feelings of anticipation and nervousness. "May I know why my husband requested my medical records?" I questioned.
The lady on the phone was about to say something, the words barely left the tip of her tongue when Xavier’s deep voice reached my ears, startling me.
