Chapter 18: Thank You For Marrying Me

Michael looked intently at Sarah's face which now looked like she was having a hard time.

No matter how Michael thought about it, Sarah looked strange.

Shouldn't his wife be relieved when he remembered something? But why was Sarah relieved when he didn't remember anything?

"That..." Sarah looked confused, her brain working hard to think of an excuse. She didn't expect to be so careless as to look relieved when Michael didn't remember something.

"I just don't want you to push yourself," Sarah said when the reason suddenly crossed her mind.

Michael raised his eyebrows, his expression looked dissatisfied with Sarah's answer.

"You know, your head can hurt if you force yourself to remember your memories. You know I don't want you to get hurt, right?" Sarah asked softly, her hand then slowly nervously going up and touching Michael's cheek and caressing it.

In her heart, Sarah cursed herself for acting like this. She's still reluctant to physically touch Michael, but it seemed she had no other choice.

"I see. But what if my memory really doesn't come back?" Michael asked quietly.

There was a hint of fear in his brown pupils.

After learning that he has memory loss, at first Michael doesn't believe it, but after seeing he suddenly has a black card and his father explains a little that he is the CEO of their family company, Michael believes that he has memory loss.

He tried to remember what really happened, but he couldn't remember anything.

Actually, Michael didn't really care about the company, he didn't care if he didn't remember what happened.

What worried Michael was Sarah.

"We've been married for five years, but I can't remember anything, Sarah," Michael said in a quivering voice.

He only remembered his marriage to Sarah, and how they were like newlyweds who had been married for a few months.

But it turns out that they have been married for five years! But he couldn't remember anything at all.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this. If she and Michael had not divorced, they might have been married for five years. However, unfortunately it only lasted for two years.

"That's okay, Michael. If you can't remember it, that's okay. We can make new memories," Sarah answered softly.

It was the first time she had seen this frightened side of Michael because Michael had always tried to look good and had never shown this to her.

Michael looked at Sarah who was smiling and tried to calm him down. His heart warmed when he heard that.

His wife had no problem with him not being able to recall their memories of five years.

His wife accepted him, and even invited him to make new memories.

Without realizing it, Michael immediately leaned forward and pulled Sarah into his arms.

Sarah was slightly surprised by the sudden hug. Her body involuntarily shivered with disgust at Michael's touch and immediately pushed Michael's body away from her body.

She can't. She's still not ready. She had agreed to pretend to be Michael's wife, but her body wasn't ready to accept his touch.

Michael looked at Sarah confused and hurt at the same time when Sarah pushed him hard.

"Sorry. I'm sweaty and smelly," Sarah said hastily with an excuse.

"I wondered why. It doesn't matter, really. Are you still that shy after five years?" asked Michael with a mischievous smile. Didn't expect his wife to be shy even though they've been married for five years.

"This is not being shy but common sense! I'm going to go take a shower first!" said Sarah then immediately stood up and headed to their bedroom.

Michael smiled at Sarah's behavior. His wife is so adorable!

"Wifey!" called Michael who was still sitting.

Sarah, who was already holding the door to the bedroom immediately turned when Michael called her.

"Thank you for marrying me. I'm really happy you are my wife," Michael said softly with a smile.

Sarah was surprised to hear that. Didn't expect Michael to say something the man had said before.

At that time, Sarah was very happy, her heart fluttering. With a big smile, Sarah immediately walked over to Michael and put her hands on Michael's neck and kissed his lips passionately.

Unfortunately, that was in the past.

Now her heart didn't even feel anything when she heard those words.

Sarah just nodded then immediately pushed the door to their room.

"I had no idea you'd be working on weekends. Don't you at least get a weekend off for being a surgeon?" Michael complained as he parked his car in the hospital parking lot.

He initially thought they could spend time alone today because it was Saturday, so he was really surprised when Sarah came out of the bedroom looking hastily and said she had to go to work today.

"Do you think patients can wait since it's the weekend? Do not complain. I'll go first," Sarah said then immediately unbuckled her seatbelt.

"Wifey!" Michael called when Sarah's hand was on the handle of the car door, ready to open it.

Sarah turned around and looked at Michael, raising an eyebrow.

Michael didn't say anything, he just pursed his lips and patted his lips with his index finger.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she saw this. Did this bastard just ask her to kiss his lips?!

"Pervert!" Sarah said then immediately opened the car door and got out, not looking at Michael again.

Michael just chuckled when he saw Sarah's behavior. Haven't they been married for five years? Why does his wife still look shy like that?

He was a little disappointed because he didn't get a kiss, but…

"But she's really cute," Michael thought with a smile and then immediately drove his car out of the hospital.

***

As soon as she entered the hospital, Sarah just sat in the lobby and didn't go straight to her room. Every now and then she glanced at the watch he was wearing.

"It's Five minutes already," Sarah muttered when it had been five minutes since she had been waiting in this lobby.

Sarah then stood up from her place and left the hospital with a wary look. If anyone was looking at her at this time, they might think Sarah was an amateur thief who was about to do her robbery for the first time.

Cautiously, Sarah headed towards the parking lot. As soon as she saw another car that had been parked where Michael had parked his car, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.

Sarah immediately left the parking lot. However, something was a little different, Sarah didn't go back into the hospital, but she went to another place, a place a bit far from the hospital.
