He Used My Trauma As A Wedding Eve Entertainment Chapter 09
The doctor clenched his jaw before speaking.Â
“Because she briefly stopped breathing, her brain suffered from oxygen deprivation, which likely caused some neurological damage.”Â
“She seems to have… lost part of her memory. At this point, it appears everything after college isÂ
missing.”Â
“Our best guess is trauma–related memory suppression. Her mind may be rejecting painful memories on purpose…”Â
Graham’s face drained of what little color it hadÂ
left, his voice trembling violently.Â
“You mean she forgot me?”Â
“She forgot everything between us?”Â
“She erased our relationship like it was somethingÂ
filthy she wanted out of her life?”Â
Panic hit him all at once.Â
“No. That’s impossible.”Â
He ignored the frantic protests of the medicalÂ
staff, completely blind to the agonizing painÂ
tearing through his own broken body.Â
He ripped out his IV, tore off the monitoring leads,Â
and staggered straight into the room next door.Â
“Mira!”Â
When Graham burst into my hospital room, I wasÂ
propped up against the bed, laughing carelessly at a trashy reality show playing on the television.Â
“Wow, TV got so much funnier while I was gone.Â
Who comes up with this stuff? These people areÂ
insane.”Â
I was in the middle of cracking another joke whenÂ
his shadow fell over the doorway.Â
I gave him one glance, then leaned toward theÂ
nurse and whispered, “Did that guy get the wrongÂ
room?”Â
He froze like he’d been struck by lightning.Â
“Mira… you really don’t remember me?”Â
I looked at him with open confusion. “Should I?Â
Are you friends with my parents or something?Â
Some kind of relative?”Â
“Sorry. The doctors said I hurt my head, soÂ
apparently all the bad memories got wiped out.”Â
Every ounce of composure shattered across his features, leaving him looking like a whimpering, abandoned stray.Â
“No. No, this isn’t right. Mira, you’ll remember. You have to.”Â
Then he got emotional and tried to explain that heÂ
was my husband.Â
I almost laughed.Â
“Sir, come on. How old are you? My parents don’tÂ
even let me date.”Â
“And you’re definitely not my type.”Â
“Don’t try to take advantage of my memory loss.Â
and make stuff up.”Â
That only made him more frantic.Â
He opened his mouth to keep explaining, but IÂ
tilted my head and asked in an innocent voice, “ByÂ
the way, do you know where my parents are?”Â
“The doctors and nurses won’t tell me.”Â
“They love me way too much not to show up. IfÂ
they knew I’d been in a car accident, they’d beÂ
freaking out…”Â
The room went dead silent.Â
Every word Graham had been about to sayÂ
disappeared in his throat.Â
“They… they’re busy.”Â
I looked at him, worry spreading across my face.Â
“Tell me the truth. Did something happen toÂ
them?”Â
“Because if they’re gone… what’s the point of meÂ
even being alive?”Â
As I started crying, Graham fled the room.Â
He didn’t know how to answer me.Â
Or maybe he knew and just didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.Â
So instead, he comforted himself with lies.Â
Maybe it was a good thing I had forgotten.Â
Maybe if I never remembered the pain, there wouldÂ
be nothing left standing between us.Â
Maybe he could make me fall in love with him allÂ
over again.Â
But then another thought rose up, dark andÂ
immediate.Â
Vivienne.Â
As long as she existed, she was a threat.Â
If she pushed me too far and I remembered what he’d done to me, what she’d done to my mother…Â
No.Â
Everything was Vivienne’s fault.Â
If he punished her hard enough, if he made sureÂ
she could never open her mouth again, thenÂ
maybe he could finally feel safe.Â
And even if she did remember one day, avengingÂ
her mother would surely wash away half of herÂ
wrath..
