Once a Wife [English Version]

Chapter 27

DOMINIC'S head hurt when he woke up.

The sun is already shining and he could hear Cynthia's voice as she is talking with somebody on the phone.

"Okay, I'll try to get there as soon as possible," She said and their eyes met, "Gotta go, bye."

He sat on the sofa and managed to massage his temples to ease the pain. Damn, hangover.

"Here's an aspirin," Cynthia said and handed him a glass of water and a small tablet, "For your hangover," she added and walked out to the kitchen.

"I've prepared a brunch," she said, "You must be hungry?" she gave him a faint smile.

What is he even doing here?

"I also prepared clean clothes if you want to take a shower first,"

He looked into her eyes yet she gave away. Slightly avoiding him.

"Where's Abby?" He asked.

"Oh, s-she went to Dad's..." she turned her attention to the egg she's cooking, "S-She would be staying there for long... Vacation's over..."

"She's staying at your Dad's during school days?"

Cynthia looked at him, "Her school is nearer than here so she prefers to stay with Dad since... it's more convenient,"

"W-What happened last night?" He asked out of nowhere, "Why am I here? Who brought me here?"

She sighed, "This is where you live, Dominic so the taxi driver brought you here because you were wasted last night,"

Damn it.

"I'm gonna take a shower," He said, he didn't want this to end in an argument, yet he stopped when she called his name.

"Where were you?" her tone sounded worried.

He sighed. He was just staying in his old flat. Trying to figure out everything but failed.

"I'm not gonna--" He didn't even finish his sentence when his eyesight got blurry and head started to hurt.

"Dominic!" he didn't know what happened next but everything just turned into darkness.

Cynthia was pacing back and forth the corridor while waiting for the doctor to arrive. After Dominic fell unconscious, she just rushed him to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Mrs. Delaverde?" The doctor arrived.

"How's he?"

He sighed and pulled a chair for her, "Please, sit down" he politely said.

"How's my husband, Dr.?"

"I've called the doctor who handled him and he says that he has a case of retrograde amnesia, is that right?"

She nodded, "Y-Yes, his memory was stuck in 1998" That was even before they met each other.

"Correct, but I may have a need to require your husband to undergo CT scan, EEG and MRI, again," he said.

"O-Okay, but he's okay. Right?"

"Mrs. Delaverde, I don't wanna say this because I'm still unsure, but I would... Your husband might be experiencing Traumatic Amnesia and that trauma was the reason why he fainted. We need to undergo some test to know if the concussion he had might result in..." He paused and looked into her eyes.

"Result to what?"

"If the accident was really the cause of his memory loss." he said, "and if so, we could help him the best way we could."
