Chapter 423 Elias’ Amnesia
As they spoke, Elias struggled and tried hard to sit up straight, but because his body was
covered in wounds, he felt as if every part of his body was screaming with every little
movement he made. He then removed the blanket from his body and took the intravenous
line tube off his hand. However, just when he was about to get up and walk away, he was
suddenly overwhelmed by a strong sense of dizziness.
Elias stood up, only to collapse onto the ground, but Rosie quickly got a hold of him. “Eli!
Are you okay? You haven’t recovered from your injury, which is why you must rest in bed.
Now, lie back down.”
Nevertheless, the man reacted coldly by pushing Rosic away, despite his impaired
movement due to his severe injury. “Get out of my way! I need to find…”
He then placed his hand on his forehead, overwhelmed by a painful headache. Deep
down, his intuition. told him that he was after something, but for some reason, he couldn’t
remember what he was looking for. As he kept trying hard to recall what it was, his
headache grew even more intense, making him feel as if his head was about to explode.
“What are you looking for? Just tell me. I’ll help you!” Rosie was desperate to make sure
Elias would get back to his bed, considering the fact that he had just woken up from his
unconsciousness. I’d hate to see him faint again. In fact, I don’t think I have the guts to
even imagine that.
“I need to find… Just get out of my way… I need to find…”
What exactly am I looking for? Elias couldn’t remember what it was as he weakly
collapsed onto the floor.
While the man was getting so weak that he struggled to be on his feet, there was nothing
much a woman like Rosie could do due to her physicality. Thus, she glared angrily at the
bodyguard as a gesture to beckon for them. “Are you guys dumb or what? Get over here
and help me out!”
It was only then that the bodyguard quickly came to Rosie’s aid and helped Elias get back
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonto his bed. They then tucked him in and helped restrain him so that the nurse could
reinsert the intravenous tube into the vein in his hand.
“Since Mr. Winters just woke up, his body is still weak due to the severe injuries he
suffered from. Furthermore, the blood clots in his head are still there, so it would be best
for him to remain still and calm, or he could be in danger.” The nurse gave Rosie a word of
advice as Rosie and the bodyguard’s hearts skipped a beat.
As soon as the nurse left, Elias slowly opened his eyes. Nonetheless, he felt much calmer,
although he could still not forget about the person he was supposed to find. At that
moment, everyone that he saw around him only seemed like a stranger to him, but deep
down, there was a voice in his head that kept telling him to look for the mysterious person
whom he didn’t have the slightest idea about at all.
Seeing Elias awake, the bodyguards immediately surrounded him and restrained his arms.
“Mr. Winters, you should really stay in bed. You were in a car accident in which you
suffered severe injuries, so you need to rest well, or your health will be in jeopardy. Please,
Sir! I still need to answer Yacob when he comes back, which is all the more reason I can’t
let anything happen to you.”
“Wait a second! Who are you people?” Elias impatiently looked at the two people standing
in front of him. even closing his eyes in frustration.
As the bodyguard was about to explain, Rosie stopped him from doing so with a gesture.
“Rest well. Call us if you need anything. We’ll just be outside,” Rosie said as she took the
bodyguard out of the room with her and closed the door behind them. In the meantime,
the bodyguard seemed confused, standing in the corridor while wondering what Rosie was
up to.
Rosie explained, “Let’s not provoke him anymore. I think he might be suffering from
memory loss or something. Moreover, he’s still weak from his injuries, so we should keep
him calm so that his emotions wouldn’t fluctuate too much. Thus, I say we wait until he
brings the matter up in the next few days.”
The bodyguard swallowed his words just when he was about to respond. He then glanced
at Elias in the ward, nodding as it seemed to him that Elias had trouble recognizing the
people around him.
Later that evening, Elias was prohibited from eating straight away after he woke up as the
doctor wanted to give his body time to recover.
Soon, the room door slowly opened as Rosie walked in. She then poured Elias a glass of
water and gave it to him. “Take a sip, Eli. The doctor said you mustn’t eat until tomorrow.”
Elias, lying in his bed, held the glass of water in his hand and took a sip. “Who are you?
You and that man were right beside me the moment I opened my eyes. Who are you
people?” He asked.
Rosie was stunned, wondering why Elias would ask a question like that. Has he really lost
his memory?! Oh, dear.
When she didn’t respond, he asked again, “Hey, I’m talking to you. Who are you?”
“Eli, have you really forgotten who I am? Do you even know who you are?” Rosie asked.
“Of course, I do,” Elias responded indifferently.
Elias” words left Rosie even more confused. After all, she found it hard to believe that Elias
couldn’t seem to recognize anyone else, although he was still aware of who he was. “Eli,
do you not remember anything at all? Do you not remember how you were involved in the
car accident? How much can you still remember about your past?” It seemed to Rosie that
Elias was suffering from partial memory loss instead of total amnesia.
Not long after that, Elias was overwhelmed by a terrible headache as he tried to recall bits
and pieces of his lost memory. Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and answered. “No, I
don’t remember anything. The only thing that I remember is that I need to find someone,
yet I can’t remember who I’m supposed to be looking for…”
“Looking for someone?” Is he referring to Amanda? Rosie’s expression darkened at the
thought of Amanda. After all, she hadn’t paid Elias a visit at all ever since he was caught in
the accident despite her sworn love. for him. Where are you now when Elias is lying in the
hospital? Your true love is nothing but bullsh*t, isn’t it?
“Alright, alright. It’s okay if you can’t remember anything. Just cut yourself some slack,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmokay? Your health is the most important thing right now,” Rosie said. Deep down, the last
thing she wanted was for Elias to find Amanda because if that happened, she would lose
her chance of getting close to him.
On the other hand, Elias sized Rosie up warily and asked, “Who are you then?”
His natural instinct told him that the woman standing in front of him was someone with
whom he shared a close relationship because she was the first person he saw the moment
he woke up.
Upon a brief hesitation, Rosie replied, “You’re the whole world to me, but as for the
question about who I am. I’m afraid you’re going to have to find that out by yourself. The
reason Rosie said that was because Elias had never treated her the way she deserved
before he lost his memory.
Elias squinted upon hearing Rosie’s vague answer. “Are you my… lover?” The man
couldn’t think of any other way to explain their relationship and why she was the first
person he saw right by his side when he woke up.
My lover? Rosie heard the answer that made her eyes brighten up, having long been
eager to be Elias” girlfriend. Soon, it quickly occurred to her that she could perhaps take
advantage of Elias’ partial amnesia and steal his heart. As her ill intention took over her
conscience, she leaned closer to Elias and whispered. “I’m someone more important than
your lover because I’m your woman.”
Elias went silent in response, wondering whether Rosic was telling the truth. Wait, what?
She is my woman? Why don’t I feel anything for her? It’s almost like the feelings that I
have for her are nothing more than those I have for an acquaintance or a friend.
On the other hand, Rosie thought Elias fell for her words when she noticed his silence.
Thus, she went on and said, “I nearly had a heart attack when I learned that you were
caught in the accident. I had been waiting here for days until you finally woke up. Thank
god you came to your senses in the end, or else I would have been caught in a
depression.”
At that moment, Elias’ bodyguard entered the ward once more and asked, “Mr. Winters,
would you like to have some water…” Just as he was about to pour Elias a glass of water,
he noticed a glass with some water left in it, awkwardly smiling at the sight of that.
Elias looked at the bodyguard. “Who are you?”
The bodyguard was stunned for a second. “I am your bodyguard.”
