Chapter 121 Three Years Later
After Dr. Garza finished speaking, he left with the medicine box on his back.
Although Deborah lost her memory, she was not so easy to fool.
Dr. Garza showed her many photos, all of which were photos of her and Joseph.
Joseph took her in before and even carried her into the bedroom when she was unconscious.
And a few days ago, when Deborah walked into the middle of the street in a daze, and when she was almost hit, Joseph pulled her back.
After she struggled and fell, it was also Joseph who hugged her into the car..
Dr. Garza kept these photos. He originally planned to show Deborah these photos when she resented Joseph, telling her that Joseph had actually done a lot for her..
Unexpectedly, it had now become evidence of their “love”.
Except for lovers, no one would carry the opposite sex into their bedroom and put them on their own bed.
A bunch of photos, together with Dr. Garza’s eloquent narration, convinced Deborah finally.
Joseph was still standing outside the bedroom in a daze, and the bedroom door was opened from the inside.
Joseph’s body froze suddenly, and he stood where he was, not even daring to look sideways.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Deborah had come out of the room.
Deborah walked straight in front of him. Because of Dr. Garza’s explanation and counseling, the panic and bewilderment on her face obviously faded a lot.
She looked at Joseph. “Why are you still standing here? Has that doctor left?”
Joseph suppressed his uneasiness, came back to his senses, and responded, “Yes, Dr. Garza has something to do at the moment, so he has to come back later. You haven’t recovered yet, so I’ll help you go in and lie down for a while.”
Deborah accepted his support slightly defensively. Joseph didn’t know how much effort he had to use to pretend to be so skillful and natural to support her.
Joseph’s heart was beating like a drum, and his arms were stiff, but he still didn’t show any abnormality in his look.
As if this was such a normal thing, and he had done it countless times.
Probably his acting skills were really wonderful. After helping Deborah to the bed, she not only didn’t chase him away but also took the initiative to continue talking to Joseph.
“The doctor said that we used to have a good relationship. Is that true?”
Joseph’s back was about to break out in cold sweat, and he felt more nervous now than in any previous negotiation sitting at the conference table.
He lowered his head to tidy the quilt for her and cleaned up the things on the bedside table while replying to her.
“We had a marriage contract before, and we were engaged. But we don’t have parents, and we don’t have witnesses from both parents, so the engagement ceremony was relatively simple. We just bought a ring and invited friends from both parties to witness.”
Deborah was stunned for a moment. “No parents? Are you and me orphans?”
Joseph nodded. “Yes, we met in the orphanage. There are still many things in the past, and I can explain them to you slowly in the future.
Deborah was silent for a while. Since they met in the orphanage, it is not too much of a coincidence that both of them
are orphans
Joseph acted on the spot, not sure if he had attracted her suspicion.
Just as he was thinking about what he had said, Deborah questioned him, “But why didn’t I see the ring on your
hand?”
Deborah looked at Joseph’s slender fingers. He was helping her tidy up things, and his hands and fingers were empty.
Joseph buried his head in tidying up for a long time, and his emotions were almost adjusted in the right way, and he
calmed down.
He sat by the bed, looked Deborah straight in the eyes, and explained to Deborah, “I put the ring in the safe.
“Last week, I had a party and almost lost my ring after drinking too much. You got so mad at this that you temporarily locked the ring.
Deborah kept looking at him, probably thinking about the credibility of his words.
Joseph said in a deep voice. “You just got sick and lost your memory. It’s normal to feel uneasy and suspicious about everything around you. It’s okay. I will not only explain many things to you but also slowly prove them to you.”
Deborah almost blurted out, “How can this be proved?”
It Joseph were married, they could go to check the marriage certificate or something else.
But it was only a verbal engagement, and they didn’t even have blood-related parents, so they couldn’t find the most
trusted blood relatives to ask the truth.
Joseph thought for a long time before saying, “I will treat you as well as betore, and I will prove that we were really
together before, and I am sincere to you.”
Looking at his serious appearance, Deborah thought he seemed to be an honest and responsible person, but not the
one who was untruthful and fraudulent.
Besides, she intuitively felt that this man was familiar, credible, and reliable.
Now she had lost all her memories, and it was hard to go or do anything.
The person in front of her seemed to be someone she really knew very well, so she decided to accept him and observe Joseph first.
Joseph sat upright beside her, and Deborah couldn’t help laughing. “You don’t have to be so nervous. I really forget everything, but I feel good now, so how about going out for a walk in a few days and looking around?”
Joseph nodded immediately. “Okay, then I can go out with you on vacation. There is a nanny at home for the time being. If you are not used to her, you can let her go.
“If one nanny is not enough, you can find a few more people to come in according to your request. Oh, by the way…”
He took out the wallet from the pocket of his suit, took out the card and cash, thought for a while, and gave the wallet directly to her.
“You take it. When I’m not at home, you can ask a nanny to go out. You were injured in an accident and lost your wallet. It has been reported as lost, and the bank card will take a few days to get back.”
Deborah hesitated for a long time but still took it.
Joseph just took her to settle down in Oceanview City.
Deborah was still suspicious in nature. After a long time, although she and Joseph had always gotten along. harmoniously, she was still wary of Joseph.
