The man who suddenly kissed Carla was none other than Terence!
"Shh, don't yell. There's nobody in the restroom," Terence said.
Then he lifted Carla to his chest and then walked into the restroom.
There were usually a few people in that floor but he had arranged for Phyllis deliberately to tell the people that the restroom on that floor was under maintenance so that Terence could make sure that no one would bother him and Carla.
Carla refused him, "Thank you. But I don't need your help. Put me down, please. I can do this myself."
Carla calmed down gradually then she attempted to push his hands away from her. However, her actions were ignored by the man.
He opened one of the doors then he placed her back down. Then he held her waist with both his hands to help her stand stably.
Then he asked her, "Do you want to take your pants off yourself or do you want me to help you?"
His bold action made Carla a little embarrassed. In such a narrow space, she could only say, "Could you please go out first? I can take them off myself."
When she was finished with her words, Terence began undoing the buttons on her pants. She immediately tried to stop him but failed. He pushed her hand that was stopping him away.
"Carla, I'm not your ex-boyfriend! You are still my girlfriend before the accident," he said in a low voice. He didn't stop from helping her unbutton her pants and continued, "Our relationship allows us to do something more intimate than just helping you unbutton your pants!"
Terence said with a frown, "I originally wanted to wait for you until you remember me and our love yourself but I can't wait any longer!"
Then he kissed her pink lips and continued to say, "Listen to me. Noah is the culprit of your car accident. Don't be deceived by him.
Your younger brother Sean and I are waiting for you in JA City this whole time. I hope you will come back to us immediately after finding your family!"
Carla was shocked when she heard his words. What he said was too much for her to process so she became stunned for a while. Even if this man was hugging her and even kissed her, she didn't have the courage to refuse him. She just wanted to hear more about her identity before the accident.
"Carla, you are my woman. As long as I'm still here, I won't let any other man have you," Terence said in a hoarse voice. He gently touched her injured head. Then he remembered what her attending physician said. The doctor reassured Terence that she would recover soon.
Three or four days had already passed since she got into an accident and he realized that he was beginning to be anxious and impatient.
She just hurt her head and it led to a temporary blank memory and confused consciousness. It could not be counted as amnesia.
He needed to be more patient. He should give her some more time to remember her past.
"... Terence?" Carla called his name. When she looked at his face, a lot of memory fragments suddenly appeared in her mind. However, she could not put them all together.
"Yes, I'm Terence. Carla... Please remember that in this world the only man who will really love you completely is me—Terence An!"
Terence stared at her warmly while finishing his words. Then he stepped back from the narrow space and closed the door for her.
When Carla got out from the stall, she found that her crutch was placed within her reach.
She walked out of the restroom wanting to continue her talk with Terence but as soon as she got out, she saw Noah was waiting for her.
"Carla, are you all right?"
Noah had been waiting for Carla for a long time and he got worried that something wrong might have happened to her, so he decided to come to the women's restroom and wait for her outside.
Carla shook her head and gave up her desire of continuing her talk with Terence.
"Noah, I'm all right," she answered him.
Noah helped her back to her seat.
There was some confusion in Carla's heart. She didn't know whether Terence's words were true or not. She actually didn't see any deception in his eyes just then.
She just saw a strong, obvious, undisguised fervent love in his eyes. She could also feel that he really did love her very much.
She could feel that his love was without any adulteration and hiding.
That was totally different from what she could feel from Noah.
