Startled, she turned her head and found Matthew’s handsome face looming close to hers.


    Their breaths mingled, their proximity causing her cheeks to flush suddenly.


    Matthewy in the bed, eyes closed.


    A faint sound caught his attention, causing him to snap his eyes open abruptly.


    Noticing Ste was awake, he rxed, offered a smile, and asked, “You’re awake? How do you feel? Do you have any difort?”


    Ste was not used to Matthew tenderly caring for her.


    She sat up and asked, “Why did I pass out? Did Dr.


    Agur say anything?”


    Matthew also sat up and asked, “Do you remember what happened yesterday?”


    Ste frowned thoughtfully before saying, “Yes.


    I remember Dr.


    Agur showing me the video of the car ident yesterday…”


    She cut herself short and stared down, lost in thought.


    Matthew asked worriedly, “Do you remember anything?”


    Ste rubbed her temples, nodded, and said, “I remember what happened up before I passed out.


    If the car ident really happened, it means my mother is still alive.


    ”


    As soon as she was done talking, she hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.


    “Slow down,” Matthew called after her as he stood up.


    Ste picked up a pen and paper and drew down the image of her mother as it was in her mind.


    But the memory was quite vague, and it was quite hard for her to draw her facial features.


    Matthew, standing beside her, observed the graceful outline of her drawing and intuitively discerned its subject.


    Silently, he watched Ste with keen interest.


    A furrow appeared on her forehead as she tightly gripped her pencil.


    Despite her earnest efforts to recall, the details eluded her.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    In a moment of frustration, she set the pen down in dismay.


    Matthew gentlyforted her with a reassuring pat on the shoulder, saying, “Don’t dwell on what you can’t remember.


    The treatment has just started, and a lot could unfold.


    You’ve just woken up.


    Don’t push yourself too hard.


    ”


    Ste gazed at the iplete outline on the paper.


    After thoughtful moments, she conceded that Matthew was correct.


    She needed to take it slow.


    After all, those memories were from her childhood.


    Aplete recollection would take time.


    Her top priority was to finish the design sketch Alina had asked for as quickly as possible.


    Matthew looked at his watch and said, “Go wash yourself, thene down for breakfast.


    I have to be at thepany to deal with something.


    I’ll take you outter tonight.


    ”


    After they both had breakfast, Matthew went out.
