I arched my brows in confusion because our relationship had turned out to be far worse than I had imagined.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider it broken beyond repair because it must be an intense fight and a serious situation for me to take such extreme countermeasures to shut him out from my life.
Marcus told me about how I had gone abroad on my own after I brought up the request to break up. By the time he reached the hospital, I was there on my own without any companions.
Although my physical condition had improved, my mental health was far from being fine; I could merely recall the time I spent with the doctor and nurses.
“It will be fine. Let’s take it one step at a time. The doctor said staying positive will help with regaining your memories.” Marcus placed his hand on my shoulder to console me. “Since you have been consuming tasteless food for so long, I’ll bring you out for something good.”
“Sounds great!” I said joyfully, not wanting to cause Marcus any more trouble.
Although we could barely consider ourselves a couple, I could feel that Marcus had no intention to harm me. Instead, I was almost certain I was his sole priority.
Since I had promised him to start all over again, it wouldn’t be wise to rush things through.
…
Marcus brought me to a Ferropenian restaurant.
“Why don’t you go ahead and see if there’s anything you’re craving? The chef has been headhunted from a globally renowned eatery.”
“Mmm…” I took over the menu and started perusing the dishes available.
There were all sorts of delicate-looking delicacies, yet none of them seemed particularly appetizing. I had a different comfort food in mind.
Suddenly, the restaurant turned lively out of the blue when a family of about seven or eight walked into the restaurant.
“Have you reserved a table?”
“Since there are not many guests, let’s just sit wherever we want.”
“Can we sit next to the window to enjoy the great scenery?”
As they engaged themselves in a conversation, they took a seat at the table opposite ours.
