Josephine looked at Donna gratefully. Her fragile heart was filled with a sense of helplessness earlier, but Donna’s words gave her strength and made her feel secure.
Just then, a tall silhouette approached. Although he was dressed in a hospital gown and had his head shaved, his unique aura was as strong as ever. His eyes were on the two women on the couch-one of them his mother and the other the love of his life.
Ethan crouched down and greeted Donna. “Hey, Mom.” Then, he fixed his eyes on Josephine for a few seconds before he greeted her with a faint smile, “Hi.” Josephine kept a lid on her emotions and smiled back. “Hi.”
“You’ll need to be under observation for a few more days, Ethan, and then I’ll take you home.” Donna pushed him into the seat beside Josephine. “You two talk! I’ll look for your father.”
He was a little nervous as he glanced at Josephine. In his eyes, she was like a frail little kitten-as if she would cry over a single misspoken word or unintentional misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry. My memory loss has hurt you greatly. but I know that we were deeply in love. Are you willing to let me be reacquainted with you?”
Ethan had a pleading look in his eyes. His heart was telling him that he needed to get to know her again. Josephine cast aside her sorrows too. She knew that now that things had come to this, her only choice was to face the situation head-on. There was no way she could avoid it.
“Alright. Let’s get to know each other again!” Josephine looked at him with warm, gentle eyes and held her hand out. “My name is Josephine Jacobson. I’m 25 and I currently work as an anchorwoman at a television station.”
