seemed strangely familiar

“Hey, can you see me?”

survey his surroundings. He questioned, “Is this a hospital?”

you know who you are? Can you recall the year we’re in?”
Charlie glared at her, “I just can’t remember how I fainted!”
“Oh, I see Emily laughed awkwardly, wondering whether to tell him the truth.
She was afraid he would jump up and hit her if she told the truth, especially since the policewoman with
her hadn’t come back.
“Well, it’s like this,” Emily chuckled, “last night I was running downstairs and saw you passed out, so I
called an ambulance to take you to the hospital. I don’t know how you fainted, though. How about you
think about it?
Charlie frowned, remembering that he had had a late night and had drunk a lot. Reef offered to take
him to the Royal Mansion to rest.
He seemed to have gone upstairs by himself, but after that, he couldn’t remember anything!

decided to close his eyes and rest for a while.

you for bringing me to the hospital, but you can leave now. I don’t need you to take care of me

sleeping?”

here.”
Charlie hesitated and asked, “Who did you say hit me?”
“It was Ms. Sullivan, but it wasn’t on purpose!” The officer spoke up for Emily.
Upon hearing the officer’s remark, Charlie’s gaze narrowed as he directed it towards Emily. “So that’s
what happened!”

unconscious, and now she had the audacity to claim she saved him
on the street it was a web of lies!

shifted her attention to the officer and asked, “What did you say? Are you implying that the house
belongs to him?
