However, Butler comes around.
Maybe it’s also good to forget her, so that he won’t remember the stupid thing that she has done.
Butler comes to her senses, and strokes her messy hair with a smile on her face, trying to make it neat.
“Kevin, you eventually forget me.” She says, trying so hard to pull up a smile on her face.
The thing that she pretends to be strong only makes Kevin confused, without any feeling of pity for her.
But Butler doesn’t know Kevin’s thoughts.
She still puts on her pretentious look, trying her best to show what is called an “excellent performance”.
If Sunny and Kelly are still here, they will be really sick of her pretentious look.
Kevin stares at her for a long while, realizing that she can’t remember who the woman is at all, and then he says, “Am I… Am I an acquaintance of yours?”
Butler blinks, and a few drops of crystal tears immediately run down.
“Kevin…” She bites her lip and her piteous face makes people feel sorry for her, “I… I am your fiancée— Butler.”
Kevin is a bit startled.
Fiancée?
Seeing that he is stunned, she continues to bite her lip, “We grow up together, and you used to call me ‘Butlerie’, and you, are my “Brother Kevinin”.
She slowly tells him the thing that has never been true, “I was naughty back then, always liked to run around. Every time I would bring you with me, and almost every time, you would take the blame for me.”
As she speaks, she has an expression that as if she was telling a childhood story and thinking that time flies, and she chuckles.
After a while, she realizes that Kevin is looking at her, so she continues, “But every time after you took the blame, you would always hug me, saying that it was not a big deal, because…”
She suddenly pauses, and looks at Kevin shyly with her blushed face.
Kevin is confused by her gaze, but in order not to ruin her mood, he forces himself to act like he is very interested.
And he manages to say, “Because… because of what?”
Seeing that she has achieved her goal, Butler laughs, and says, “You always said, ‘because you are my Butlerie, so no matter what it would take, I would take it for you.”
Hearing this, Kevin becomes silent.
Did he really say something like that?
He is trying so hard to remember it, but it is all blank in his mind, and there is nothing at all. There’s not a single memory about the past, even…
If he tries to remember the past, he has a very bad headache.
He raises his hand and rubs his sore temple, only to find a fixed needle in his hand.
Kevin frowns slightly and looks at the needle fixed to his injury in a puzzled way.
He knows this kind of needle, which is a needle needed for people who are hospitalized for a long time.
And does it mean that he has been hospitalized for a long time since he has this needle on his hand?
When Butler sees Kevin staring at his hand, she remembers—Kevin’s injured hand was still stuck with a fixed needle.
So she hurriedly gets up to put down Kevin’s hand, and then covers it with a quilt.
"Don't move!" Butler says nervously, "It's not good if it moves the needle on your hand!"
Hearing this, Kevin is even more affirmed that he is in the hospital.
So he turns his head and glances at the ward.
The ward is a single room, and judging from the conditions of the hospital, this is a good hospital, and the daily cost of this ward may be high.
The ward is well-equipped with all kinds of facilities, which are owned privately, instead of being shared with other wards.
The room is quite spacious in the ward, with a private bathroom. Next to the bathroom is a bed. The bedside is an ECG monitor on the cabinet, and there are other instruments next to it.
From the other side of the bed hangs a curtain, which separates the room. Over there is a place similar to a living room, with a sofa, a coffee table, chairs and benches.
Behind the sofa is a space separated by a glass wall, which looks like a balcony.
The daily cost of an ordinary triple-room ward should be around 1,000 to 2,000, while a single room is more expensive, about 2,000-3,000 or more.
As for the single room that he is staying in, it seems to be even a little better, and the daily cost may have reached five thousand.
Plus, he has to take medicine every day, so the daily expenditure is probably over nine thousand dollars.
It seems that he has been hospitalized for a long time, so the expenses must be a lot.
Since he is able to pay for such medical expenses, his family should be quite well-off.
Moreover...
There is also a nanny at home to take care of him.
After returning to his senses, he smiles apologetically to Butler, "I'm sorry Butler, I... I can't remember."
Butler smiles and shakes her head, "You little fool, you shouldn’t be sorry." Her tearful expression makes the nanny freeze.
"As long as you get better soon, it doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. Because..."
"We still have decades to spend together."
Butler's words make the nanny look at her amazed.
This woman? Is there something wrong with her?
