Since the moment Evadne awoke, she had barely paused to rest, keeping a constant vigil by Thaddeus's side,
her exhaustion palpable in every drawn breath.
Three days had passed, but to her, it felt like an eternity—a stretch of tthat spanned months, years, even
decades.
Each cycle of the sun and moon seemed to leech more of her strength away.
Although Thaddeus had been hurt before, even to the brink of death, and she had felt panic, fear, and
desperation, this twas different. This time, she couldn't muster even a shred of the composure she had once
managed to cling to.
Her fingers were entwined with his, the grip tight as if trying to anchor herself in a storm of fear that threatened
to swallow her whole, bury her deeply, and suffocate her voice.
Evadne was terrified like never before.

The heavy, helpless feeling gnawed at her every moment, an unrelenting siege on her spirit.
In just a week, the once vibrant and proud Evadne had withered, resembling a faded lily, her skin pale and
fragile, her form lost in the oversized hospital gown.
From dawn till dusk, Evadne would recount to Thaddeus their shared past, spanning from the age of eleven to
eighteen, their marriage, divorce, and eventual reunion. Every vivid memory was laid bare, moments filled with
laughter and tears, joy and sorrow.
Those memories, once painful to revisit, now seemed gentle and softened by time.
As long as he was part of those memories, everything was good.
Now, she didn't have the luxury to be picky.
"Thaddeus, Chasel said there's something wrong with your brain. I'm terrified... I'm scared you'll wake up and not
remember me," Evadne whispered, tears streaming as she kissed his rough hands, locking her fingers with his.
In their more intimate moments, Thaddeus would tease her, saying she was like a delectable piece of apple pie,
warm and inviting, making him want to savor every bite.
He would cover her skin with kisses, leaving her trembling, floating on a cloud of bliss before taking her to even
greater heights.
Out in the world, such intimacy was rare, so he would settle for kissing her lips, or like now, her fingertips, her
palms.
He adored her so much, those impulsive kisses were merely expressions of a love so profound, he didn't know
how else to convey it.
His touch had becher solace.
Now, it was her turn to be the one who longed, who feared the loss, who felt the piercing pain of uncertainty.
It seemed fate was indeed fair.
Those who take happiness for granted are bound to face consequences.
"It's okay, it's okay. Even if you forget me, it's okay."
Evadne's tears fell, soaking into his palm's creases. "If the cost of you surviving
this ordeal is forgetting me... then | am willing to vanish from your memory, without regret.
As long as | can still watch over you for the rest of my life, | will be content."
Thaddeus had said similar words countless times before.
Now it was Evadne's turn, each word a sharp-edged stone grinding against her heart.
Could she truly be content?
Wasn't it merely a hollow comfort, when every effort had been exhausted, every path a dead end?
"Please don't forget me. | beg you, don't forget me."
Evadne could no longer deceive herself. She collapsed against his chest, her slender shoulders shaking
uncontrollably, her sobs breaking the silence.
