Chapter 164 Do you think I lost my memory?
Aiden sat quietly at Arwen's bedside when she stirred in her sleep. Her little movement jolted him awake immediately. "Moon," he called softly, reaching out to gently hold her hands.
Arwen's lashes fluttered a little before she slowly opened her eyes. "Aiden," she murmured, her voice soft as she noticed him sitting there. Her gaze then slowly shifted around the room. "What are we doing here again? Didn't we leave earlier?"
Aiden paused at her question before replying, "You collapsed on the way so, I had to bring you back."
"I collapsed?" she asked, her tone filled with surprise. "How?"
Aiden frowned, his guilt shadowing his face. Knowing he was responsible, he avoided her gaze. Keeping his focus on the hand he held, he said, "I am sorry. I shouldn't have brought the past up. I didn't know ..."
But before he could say any further, Arwen interrupted, "Wait!" Her brows knitting together at his words. "What do you mean 'you are sorry', husband? How long were you planning to hide things from me?"
Her sudden question caught Aiden off-guard. For a moment, he paused, glancing up at her, slightly shocked. Did she remember it all now? He searched her gaze, asking tentatively. "Did you remember it all?"
Arwen pressed her lips in a thin line. Lying down on the bed like that caused her a little inconvenience, so she shifted to get into a better position to speak with him properly. Taking his support, she sat up before saying, "When did I even forget it anything to begin with, that I had to remember it again?"
Aiden didn't understand. As his brows drew in confusion, he asked, "You mean —"
Jason smiled widened a little as he opened the folder in his hand. He skimmed through her report before glancing back at her. "So, how are you feeling now?"
"I am better," Arwe replied with a nod. She looked down at her legs, moving them slightly. "Even my legs feel good."
"Good," Jason said, nodding approvingly. He paused briefly, jotting something down on the papers before asking again, "Do you feel any pain in your head?"
Arwen blinked, confused. "My head?" she asked, furrowing her brows.
"Oh yes," Jason replied, keeping his tone casual. "Aiden mentioned that when you passed out, you hit your head."
"I don't feel any pain," she said after a moment. Jason exchanged a quick glance with Aiden before continuing.
"That's good, but sometimes injuries don't cause pain immediately." He set the file aside and stepped closer, leaning in to check her eyes. "Tell me, what were you talking about before you passed out yesterday?"
Arwen tilted her head, her confusion deepening. "Do you think I will lose my memory just because I fainted?"
Jason kept his expression neutral, hiding any trace of suspicion. "Well, we can't rule out the possibility. So, just consider it a part of a routine check-up."
Arwen chuckled, briefly glancing at Aiden before speaking. "You are just scaring my husband more," she said playfully, mistaking Jason's concern for teasing. "Fine, I will humor you. I haven't forgotten anything. I remember clearly that before I fainted, I was with Aiden, talking about how, a month ago, he appeared just in time to save me when I needed him the most."
