Clara

“Days?”

She nods, and something inside me… clenches.

That can’t be.

“That doesn’t make sense…”

My voice comes out more tense.

“I… I was…”

I stop, because I don’t know what I was going to say. I can’t finish the thought, and that… That

really scares me.

“Calm down,” the doctor says. “Don’t force it.”

But I need to, I need to understand.

“Mom…” I look at her. “What else happened?”

She hesitates, I can see it. And that puts me on alert.

“Tell me,” I insist.

My voice is firmer now.

“I want to know.”

She looks at the doctors, as if asking permission. They barely nod, and then… she speaks.

“You had an accident leaving work… You were in an important meeting with your partners.”

I nod slowly.

“Partners?” “What partners?” I murmured.

“What you remember as just a project is now a major company, my love. A big one, with an upcoming opening in Boston.”

My eyes widened.

“What? Is this… is this real? And, how is it now? How’s the company doing? God, I’ve been here for days.”

“Yes… everything’s fine,” she said quickly. “You’ve been… incredible, Clara…

I frowned.

“Incredible?”

“Yes…” she smiled slightly. “You’ve grown the company in a way that…”

She stopped, her voice filled with emotion.

O

“I’m so proud of you…”

That reassured me a little, though it still surprised me.

That does fit… That feels real.

“And…?”

I hesitated. But I asked anyway.

“Anything else?”

Silence, again.

“Mom…”

She took a deep breath.

“Clara… there are things that…”

“Tell me.”

I interrupt her.

“Don’t hide anything from me.”

Her eyes fill with tears.

“You…” She swallows. “You got back together with Ethan…”

My body tenses automatically when she mentions him.

“No, that… that…”

I look at her, confused.

“No…”

I shake my head.

“No, that doesn’t make sense…”

My breathing quickens.

“I divorced him.”

The words come out firm, certain. Because that much I do remember perfectly.

“That’s in the past.”

My mother shakes her head.

“Yes, but…”

“No,” I interrupt her. “That doesn’t make sense.”

I look at her intently.

“I got back together with him?”

My voice is incredulous, almost annoyed. She nods slowly.

“Yes…”

I feel an immediate aversion.

“No…”

I deny it again.

“No, Mom… that’s not…”

I frown.

“Why would I do that?”

Silence.

“Clara…”

“No.” I repeat. “I don’t understand.”

My chest rises and falls more rapidly.

“That doesn’t make sense…”

I look at her, hoping she’ll say it’s a joke. That she’s confused, but no. Her expression is serious, hurt… Real.

“You got married again…” she says softly.

And that… That really hits me.

“What…?”

Chapter 337. My Blank Mind, Part 2

I feel like something inside my head is going to snap.

“No…”

A nervous laugh escapes me.

“No, that’s not possible…”

I look at the doctors.

“Are you listening to this?”

They don’t intervene.

“I wouldn’t do that…”

My voice becomes firmer.

“I’ve been through that.”

I shake my head.

“I wouldn’t repeat that mistake.”

My mother cries silently.

“Clara…”

“I don’t want to talk about him.”

I cut her off… sharply and immediately.

“It’s pointless.”

I look away.

“Tell me something else.”

My voice is low, but firm.

“Tell me about the company… about other things. I don’t want to hear any more about him.”

I need something real, something I can actually acknowledge.

She hesitates… but agrees.

“You’ve grown everything… you opened new branches… new projects…”

I nod… even though I’ve already said it, that’s true… That does resonate with me.

“That does make sense…”

Chapter 337. My Blank Mind, Part 2.

I murmur.

“That I would do…”

I breathe a little easier, but something still… feels off.

“And Dad?”

O

The question comes out naturally.

“I haven’t seen him…”

I look at her.

“Is he traveling?”

An immediate, heavy silence. My mother remains completely still.

Her eyes fill with tears again.

“Mom…” I frown. “What’s wrong?”

She looks at the doctors and that… That scares me.

“Mom…”

My voice trembles.

“What’s wrong?”

She swallows.

“Clara…”

She shakes her head, as if she doesn’t want to say it.

“Mom, tell me.”

My heart starts beating faster.

“Your dad…”

Her voice breaks.

“He passed away.”

A blow to my chest, to my heart, to my soul…

No, no, no.

I stare at her.

O
