Chapter 126: You have divorced her
Third Person POV
The moment the words left his lips, her face fell within the next second and she felt her heart sink to the pit of her stomach.
"...What...?" She mumbled under her breath, disbelief was written all over her face as she looked at him, emotions running wild in her dark brown eyes. She leaned forward, their faces now only inches apart as she grabbed onto his shoulder. Her fingernails dug into his skin as she shook him vigorously, unable to control her emotions and forgetting that he was just out of surgery. "Why are you asking about Aurelia? I’m your girlfriend!" She shouted angrily as she gritted her teeth and her heart was thumping loudly against her chest.
Without wasting another second, his arms reached up to push her hands off his shoulders with a frown etched between his brows as his features contorted into a pained expression.
"What do you think you are doing?" He sneered, his tone carrying a sharp edge to it as he glared at her. "You are not my girlfriend, I’m married to Aurelia," he insisted and his eyes were wandering around, as though he was searching for her.
"You are not married to her anymore! You two have divorced long ago!" she shouted louder this time, thinking it would somehow make it clearer and he would finally understand.
He shook his head. "No, you are lying to me," he said through gritted teeth. "Why would I divorce her? We just got married a couple of months ago!"
As soon as the words left the tip of her tongue, realisation dawned upon her and she finally realised what was happening. The head injury... It must have caused him to lose part of his memory as he seemingly travelled back in time.
She let out a breath as she fell back into the chair behind her. A defeated look was plastered across her face as she stared blankly into space, rendering her speechless at that moment.
