Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Who Are You?

Although the police had been alarmed, Layla still asked Cameron to accompany her to check out the location where Christopher was injured.

It was the back alley of a bar. The alley was dimly lit, and only one surveillance camera was installed in the whole stretch of it. The location of Christopher’s accident happened to be in the blind spot of the surveillance camera.

According to Cameron, Christopher had been found by a bartender. The bartender had called an ambulance but did not report the accident to the police. By the time Cameron learned about it, Christopher had already been taken to the hospital.

The first thing that came into Cameron’s mind was to call the police. However, he canceled that thought after carefully considering the recent situation in Romdale. He then informed the Solace family and waited for their arrival before making any decision.

Not long after Layla arrived, the police also reached the scene.

The lighting in the back alley was dark, and the ground was very slippery. Except for the blood stains left by Christopher’s wound, there were only some messy shoe prints at the scene, which were not left behind by one person but by a few people.

Thus, it was a crime committed by a group of people.

The police also investigated the surveillance cameras nearby. However, the crime scene was in one of the largest entertainment areas in Romdale. It was difficult for them to investigate further since the people nearby were not only huge in number but also complicated.

The police summoned the barkeeper and bartender to make a statement. Still, they found nothing.

It was almost dawn when Layla and the rest left the bar.

The head of the police said to Layla, “Don’t worry, Ms. Solace. We’ll continue to investigate this incident and give you an explanation. Please inform us when Christopher regains consciousness. I’ll arrange for someone to take a statement from him in the hospital.”

Layla shook his hand and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. This is our job,” the head of police said.

After bidding farewell to the police, Layla and Cameron got into the car and prepared to return to the hospital.

Cameron was driving, and Layla was sitting in the backseat.

Layla looked out the window quietly and recalled what she had seen at the scene earlier. She slightly knitted her brows and felt that something was off.

After a while, she glanced at Cameron, who was driving, and said, “Mr. Sinew, I heard from Mr. Foster that you’ve been very close to Christopher recently.”

Cameron replied, “It’s my pleasure to bond with Mr. Solace.”

Layla stared at his side profile for a while, lowered her gaze, and said coldly, “Mr. Sinew, do you know how Christopher got injured?”

Cameron suddenly felt nervous and fell silent. Then, he replied, “Didn’t the police say that he might have been robbed?”

In truth, the police had said so because Cameron had told them that the watch Christopher was wearing before the accident had disappeared when Christopher was sent to the hospital.

Christopher only had a few watches in his collection, but all of them were valuable.

Layla sneered. “Do you think it’s a robbery, Mr. Sinew?”

“I don’t know. I heard that from the police.” Cameron gave a vague answer.

On the way back to the hospital, Layla used the chance to bring Yuliana breakfast.

She watched Yuliana finish her meal and saw the dark circles under the latter’s eyes. It was then that she recalled the assistant telling her that Yuliana had been lying on the bedside and had stayed up all night.

Layla was worried that Yuliana would not be able to stand it. “Yuliana, why not you go back to the hotel and have a rest? I’ll be here to watch over Christopher. I’ll call you when he wakes up, okay?”

Yuliana was very sleepy and exhausted. Since Layla had said that, she didn’t resist the former and asked Layla’s assistant to send her back to the hotel.

The hotel was only a few minutes away from the hospital.

After Christopher was admitted to the hospital, Yorick called to inquire about the former’s condition. However, he did not show up in the hospital, claiming that his body had yet to recover and that it was inconvenient for him to go there.

Layla had dealt with Yorick several times before and knew that he was a cunning person. He claimed that he had made great contributions to Solace Corporation and had been looking down on the younger generation since Kendrick took over the company.

Yorick had become more aggressive in recent years and was highly influential in Romdale. He had the final say in almost everything, whether in the assignment of employees or in any other matters.

Yuliana napped for three to four hours after she-returned to the hotel. Since Layla had not called her, she could tell that Christopher had not regained consciousness yet.

She called Layla, and the latter arranged for her assistant to pick Yuliana up at the hotel.

During lunch, Layla ordered her assistant to buy her and Yuliana some takeout. After the duo had finished eating in the ward, Layla called Yorick, telling him that she needed to talk to him and set the company as their meeting place.

Since it was work-related, Yorick naturally couldn’t refuse.

Layla brought her assistant along but left Cameron to stay outside the ward.

Meanwhile, Yuliana sat by the bed and stared at Christopher quietly.

They had known each other for a long time, but it was the first time she had seen Christopher be so quiet and weak.

Yuliana was not used to it and suddenly missed the time when they quarreled with each other.

Christopher was arrogant and bad-tempered at that time. Although he always put on a long face, he was lively-unlike his lying there with his weak and pale face right now. He looked lifeless in the bed.

In the afternoon, Yuliana slumped on the bed and napped again.

In a daze, she felt something touching her hair. She opened her eyes absent-mindedly and immediately saw a pair of gray ones.

Momentarily stunned, she quickly straightened her back and asked excitedly. “You’re awake!”

Christopher stared at her quietly.

Looking into his eyes, Yuliana couldn’t help but panic. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well somewhere? Do you want me to call a doctor?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Christopher’s lips were pale. Although all the colors had drained from them, they were not dry.

Yuliana had used a cotton swab to moisten his lips many times before.

Christopher remained looking at Yuliana calmly and said nothing.

When Yuliana got up and was about to call the doctor, Christopher suddenly clutched her wrist.

Christopher’s hands felt weak so he only grabbed Yuliana very loosely. He parted his thin lips slightly, and his voice was very soft as he spoke, “Who are you?”

Yuliana was stunned by his words. Her pupils constricted as she looked at him in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Christopher licked his lower lip and repeated in a hoarse voice, “I said, who are you?”

Yuliana was shocked, and she panicked. She fixed her gaze on Christopher’s eyes, feeling anxious. In a trembling voice, she asked, “Do you really not recognize me?”

Christopher frowned and asked in confusion, “Should I know you?”

Yuliana became more and more depressed. After a moment, she calmed herself down and asked, “Do you remember who you are, then?”

Christopher pondered for a while and shook his head. “Do you know who I am?” Yuliana was on the verge of breaking down because of his questions.

“Hang in there. I’ll get the doctor here right away”

After saying that, Yuliana put away Christopher’s hand and went to the doctor.

The doctor gave Christopher another detailed check-up, but the results were the same as the night before. Logically, his concussion was not severe and would not cause him memory loss.

Once Layla received the news that Christopher had regained consciousness, she quickly returned to the hospital.

Christopher’s medical report happened to be ready when she arrived at the hospital. Christopher’s doctor in charge was uncertain about his current situation and planned to arrange for a more experienced doctor to perform a detailed check-up on him.

Upon learning about Christopher’s condition, Layla looked at the medical report and pondered for a while. Then, she shifted her gaze into the ward.

Yuliana was eating with Christopher.

Staring at Yuliana with his gray eyes, Christopher took one mouthful of the oatmeal she was feeding him and swallowed slowly. Then, he asked, “Are you really my wife?”
