The doctor paused while writing down the medical records. He lifted his head to look at Lucy in surprise, then at the tall and handsome Matthew in front of him. Finally, he looked at Cillian, who was gloating at Matthew’s misfortune.
He silently put down his pen and began analyzing Lucy's condition. “You may have hit your head during the accident and suffered a concussion, resulting in memory loss. Let’s start by getting an X-ray so that I can assess the problem more accurately.”
While the doctor was advising Lucy on the precautions she should take, Matthew drifted into a blank state. His face was void of emotion.
What was he going to do? After the doctor left, the entire ward fell into a suffocating silence.
In the end, it was Cillian who broke the awkward silence between the two. He cleared his throat and said to both of them, “What are you two doing, staring at each other like that? Are you two in a staring contest or what?”
His words snapped Lucy and Matthew out of their trance.
Lucy finally came to her senses. Frowning, she thought about her relationship with Matthew. After losing her memory, she suddenly had a husband out of nowhere. It could not get any more awkward than his.
She lifted her hand and said to Matthew with a conflicted expression, “Hello, husband. I’m Lucy. Let’s get to know each other again.”
Matthew’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Lucy’s outstretched hand. Her somewhat distant gaze and her overly polite demeanor made him sigh. They had indeed gone back to square one.
Extending his hand, he reluctantly shook hers and said, “Hello, I’m Matthew Leon, your husband. We’ve been married for a year.”
After the awkward self-introductions, they both fell into an uncomfortable silence. Lucy felt uneasy, so she resorted to making awkward small talk to fill the silence.
