I Love You As Much As I Hate You

4. A Suspicious Story

"Can you talk? Is she near you?"

"You can talk Gray, I am at work," Cloud answered through the phone.

"How about her?"

"I locked her in the flat."

Gray sighed at the other end of the line, "although I don't approve what you are doing, I have to say you were right about your suspicions."

Cloud rushed to his room and locked the door, "tell me everything," he said curiously.

"Actually, there is nothing to say about her," Cloud heard him flipping pages, "she emerged in X Hospital one year ago on February 7. It says she was brought to the hospital after a car accident, she was seriously injured and stayed in coma for three months. When she woke up, all of her memory was gone."

"What?!" Cloud almost dropped the phone from his hand. "Something is fishy, too much of a coincidence with Sun's death."

"Unfortunately I agree. Shall I contact with Sun's brother?"

"No!" He did not know why but his hunch was saying that the weird brother was involved in the matter, "let's not make a fuss for now. I will try to talk to her first."

"As you say, but be sure she is not a prisoner. Otherwise I will have to save her from you."

"I know," Cloud ended the call.

Now he knew why she looked so different, but still, he was not sure if she was faking it because she was scared of something or she genuinely did not remember anything. Who could set up such a play and why? He had to grasp the root of this dirty play if he wanted to learn the truth about her evil doing and take his revenge.

Going back to home, Cloud found Sun sitting on the exact spot where he left her. Without looking at her, he went to his room, took a shower and changed into a simple grey T-shirt and black sweatpants before sitting across her.

"did not you move from that chair?" he asked curiously. She was alone for four hours and yet looked like she did not move an inch.

She shook her head without making an eye contact.

Cloud arched his eyebrows, "did you eat something?"

She shook her head again.

"Why? Don't you know how to cook?"

As this time it was not a yes-no question, she had to answer. "It is your house so I did not want to be disrespectful," she said carefully while the real answer was she did not touch anything in order not to make him more angry than he was already.

He gaped her with shock. It was beyond his limit to understand that she starved herself to be respectful. She does not act like Sun... Sighing heavily, he stood up and went to the kitchen.

Five minutes later, he returned with a cup noodles and placed it on the coffee table, "there is nothing else to eat in the kitchen, so make do with this today."

Hesitantly, she reached for the cup, "thank you," she said softly. She was glad that he was not that heartless. As she was hungry for a long time, she finished the noodles in record time, not even caring about burning her mouth. Seeing her devouring the noodles as if it was the most delicious meal in the world, Cloud felt apologetic as well as a bit of regretful.

"The cupboard above the sink," he said when she finished everything.

"What?"

"I have a lot of this instant noodles in the cupboard above the sink. You can make more if you are still hungry," he said with a cold face, contradicting to the caring tone of his voice.
