A Lifetime With You

Chapter 117

“… … I don’t know.” Four years ago, she seemed to have remembered something when she fell into the sea due to a car accident and she was rescued by Enrico. She seemed to be in love with a man who had treated her badly. Was Damien the man that she had forgotten? In the last four years, she had asked Enrico about what she had forgotten. However, Enrico never opened his mouth. “Just let bygones be bygones. You should just let it go.” Since the human brain was complicated, if her brain had chosen to forget it, she assumed that it must be unpleasant memories.

Jean sighed.

Ava too couldn’t remember much as she had amnesia.

Jean tilted his head and thought about the gentleman who stood by the door. He liked him the moment he saw him, and he was really good-looking. It would be nice if he was his dad. “Mommy, you’re sweating a lot!” Jean was surprised that his mom was pale and sweat was dripping from her forehead. She seemed to be scared of that gentleman, but he didn’t look scary at all! Ava tried to calm herself down, but the more deep breaths she took, the faster her heart was beating. Her headache was terrible as if someone was hammering her head. Chaotic fragments of images were popping up in her mind. “Mommy? Mommy?”

Jean’s voice rang in her ear and she forced a smile, “I’m fine…”

She fell heavily on the floor in the next second and she couldn’t stand up Jean was scared out of his wits. What should he do? His grandmother was not at home at the moment. He couldn’t wake her up and he opened the door quickly, hoping that Damien was still there. However, he had left.

Jean did not have time to ponder around, he didn’t even put on his shoes and ran out quickly.

“Someone! Help! Help!” Damien was walking into the elevator when he heard a child’s scream all of a sudden, and he hurriedly came out from it. “Mr Radbury, my mommy has fainted!”

At the hospital.

After Damien sent Ava to the hospital, the doctor explained to him that there were blood clots in her brain that were pressed against her nerves. It was due to the accident from years ago and this might be the cause of her amnesia as well as her headache and fainting.

“Does your mommy have headache oftenly?” Damien asked Jean. Jean shook his head, “This is the first time I’ve seen Mommy like this.” He sat by the bed quietly and watched Ava as she was still in coma. Her face was still the same in his memory, nothing had changed in her face other than a scar on her neck even four years had passed. Although it looked frightening, it was not that obvious.

“What is this scar?” Damien asked Jean.

Jean shook his head.

It happened when the crazy woman, Selina, threatened Ava with a dagger and even cut her neck. How would Jean know about the incident if Ava didn’t even remember it? Damien’s fingers touched the scar on her neck gently and slowly. She must have suffered a lot when he was not by her side in these few years. He didn’t do anything even though he had promised to protect her for the rest of her life. “Ava, no one would hurt you from now on, not even me.” He whispered to her. She seemed to be waking up as she moved slightly. He tightened his fist.

It turned out she was only changing her position in her sleep. She was beautiful even when she has her eyes closed. Although he had seen many pretty women, none of them could match up to her. He couldn’t hide his smile as he thought of it. Jean stood aside and looked strangely at the Theodore. First, he was frowning and mumbling to himself. But now, he was smiling. 2 “Mr. Radbury, mommy will be fine, right?” He asked.

“No, don’t you call me Mr. Radbury.”

“What shall I call you?” Damien turned around as he was smiling he put his hand on Jean’s cheeks, “Call me daddy.” He had thought about how his child would look like if he was to have one. He was excited when he found out that Ava was pregnant. He couldn’t sleep well for several nights, as he was thinking of how to be a father even in his dreams. However, he had a four-year-old son in the blink of an eye without experiencing the trouble of changing diapers and milk feeding.

His son was much cleverer than the children of the same age.

“What’s your name?” As Damien noticed that Jean was not willing to call him ‘dad’, he tried to get closer to him by chatting with him. “Mommy wanted me to be ordinary and my name is Jean.”

Ava seemed to name ‘Jean’ idly.

Damien touched Jean’s head and he couldn’t hide his smile. “Mr. Radbury, let’s do a paternity test.” Jean asked him suddenly. “We don’t need that.”

“But I might be your son!” “You are my son.” He picked him up.

There was no need for a paternity test, he was the son of both himself and Ava. How possibly could it be someone else’s?

She made a noise and finally opened her eyes while still lying on the bed. She saw a dazzling halo as she opened her eyes. The man’s figure that appeared was almost the same as the man she had in her dreams, but she couldn’t see his face clearly. She wanted to touch his face and subconsciously reached out her hand. Damien put Jean down and quickly held her hand. She smiled as the warmth from his palm made her feel at ease. The dream was nice as she laid idly without worry. Her sight became clear gradually and the man’s face in front of her was distinct. She was stunned as she noticed

that he was the man that appeared in front of her door. “Why are you here?” She sprung up immediately. She looked around and found out that she was in the hospital. She then asked him swiftly. “Why am I here?” “You fainted and Jean ran out to look for me.” Damien explained to her.

She was relieved when she saw her son stood by her bed safely. She then looked up at the man who was sitting on the edge of her bed. Was he the man in her dreams and could he really be Jean’s father? Was it because of him that she

suffered from the marriage? Ava thought of how her mother, Jessica was being secretive when she asked about Jean’s father. She even recalled Enrico’s words, “It’s better off not knowing about it.” Needless to say, everything was pointing to her that this man was dangerous and she had to avoid him. “Do you know me?” Damien nodded. “Are we married?” He nodded again.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
