Chapter 135

"Is this gonna mess with her health?" Elisa was still super worried.

A head injury sounded really serious.

The doctor shook his head. "No major issues. She just lost her memory, but it won't mess with her daily life. Spend more time with her. She might remember stuff on her own. We've seen cases like this before."

Elisa tried to comfort herself with that thought.

At least Christina was awake now. She was alive and okay.

In the hospital room, Christina asked William again, "So, what's our deal? You said she's my mom, but you won't tell me who you are to me."

They couldn't be enemies, right?

If that were the case, he wouldn't be here, looking at her with such concern.

"Fiancés," William finally said.

He reached out to gently stroke Christina's hair. "We were about to get married, but you had an accident and have been in the hospital for three days. We had to postpone the wedding. We can't have you walking down the aisle like this."

"Is that so?" Christina looked at him.

He seemed sincere, not like he was lying.

If they were engaged, she should feel comfortable being close to him. But something inside her kept telling her to stay away from this man.

"Of course it's true. Our families have agreed to our marriage. If you don't believe me, I'll take you home after you're discharged. You can see for yourself. I can't possibly get everyone to lie to you," William said smoothly.

Both Raymond's family and Nicholas wanted them to get married as soon as possible.

As for the rest of the Cavendish family, even if they had objections, they wouldn't dare voice them.

"We've even been in the news a few times. We have fans online wishing us well," William added, leaving Christina stunned.

"Am I a celebrity?" she asked, puzzled.

"Of course not. Why would you think that?" William chuckled. "You're still a student, you haven't graduated yet. If you want to be a celebrity, I can help."

He didn't own a talent agency, but he could ask his partners to look out for Christina.

She wouldn't face any of the usual pitfalls.

Christina shook her head. "I don't want that. It's just strange. If I'm not a celebrity, why would people care about our relationship?"

People usually only follow celebrities' private lives.

How could ordinary people like them have fans?

"Maybe because we're part of the Cavendish family."

"Are we family? Can we get married?" Christina asked again.

William found her current state adorable. He couldn't resist pulling her into a hug. "How about this? Promise me you'll take care of yourself and get better. Once you're out of the hospital, I'll answer all your questions."

"Alright," Christina agreed after thinking it over. "When can I leave? I don't like it here. The smell of disinfectant is awful."

Elisa returned with the doctor to see this scene.

"What's that noise? Who's here?" Christina was startled.

The doctor approached her. "I'm your attending physician. I'm here to check on you. Do you remember anything, or just not recognize them?"

Christina shook her head. "I don't remember anything. My mind is blank."

"I'll schedule a CT scan to check your brain. Then I'll adjust your medication based on your condition."

Christina got out of bed.

William followed her closely as they left the room.

Seeing this, Elisa felt a bit happier.

Elisa suddenly thought that Christina's amnesia might not be so bad. As long as it didn't affect her health, it could even strengthen their relationship.

Once they were married and had children, Christina would look back on this time and be grateful.

With them together, Elisa decided not to interfere.

She quietly left.

William stayed with Christina through all the tests. While waiting for the results, Christina was anxious. "What if I'm not healthy?"

"Then I'll stay with you until you are," William reassured her, gently patting her back.

Joseph rushed over when he heard Christina was awake. Seeing their interaction, he slapped himself.

It hurt.

He wasn't dreaming.

Was Christina crazy?

"Who is he?" Christina noticed the commotion and frowned. "He seems a bit odd."

"That's my friend, Joseph. He's a doctor," William introduced him briefly.

Although Christina's first impression of Joseph wasn't great, he was her fiancé's friend, so she had to be polite.

When Joseph approached, she extended her hand. "Hello, Joseph."

"You greeted me first?" Joseph was even more surprised.

What a joke!

The first time they met, Christina had been downright hostile. He still got angry thinking about it.

Their subsequent encounters were always confrontational.

But now, Christina was being so friendly that he wondered if she had lost her mind. "Are you crazy?"

"What?" Christina was taken aback.

She looked at William, confused. "Your friend doesn't seem to like me. Did we have a falling out?"

"Of course not. You two just met today. He had an argument with someone else, so he's in a bad mood," William lied.

He liked the current Christina.

The past was the past. People needed to move forward.

Joseph's eyes nearly popped out.

Weird. Both William and Christina were acting weird.

While Christina was with the doctor, Joseph pulled William aside, speaking seriously. "Tell me the truth. What's going on with you two? Did Christina get hit by a car and lose her mind?"
