Chapter 288

Irvin had a burn scar on his back from when he had saved me during the lab fire in our sophomore year. He had gotten it by shielding me from a falling, burning beam. There should also be a bullet scar, from when he had taken a shot for me on the cruise ship.
As I recalled those memories and how Irvin had risked his life to save mine, I found it even harder to be distant toward him the way I had been when I had lost my memory.
I had given him everything in the past and had treated him better than I treated myself. But back then, he had also reciprocated it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have loved him so strongly.
William and Timothy were taken aback by my eagerness.
Then, almost in unison, they spoke.
“Yes.”
“No!”
Timothy had agreed, and William had been against it.
I wasn’t surprised by Timothy’s response. Based on his earlier reaction, I sensed he felt something toward me instinctually despite his amnesia.
What caught me off guard was William’s objection. While we had known each other for a while, we hadn’t interacted much. Hence, his unexpected refusal confused me.
Willaim then walked up to me and said, “Don’t forget who he is now, Emilia.”
Before I could respond, Timothy asked, “What does my identity have to do with this? I’m just a patient who needs Ms. Quill’s medical treatment. Where’s the problem in that?”
Gazing coldly at Timothy, William argued, “Receiving treatment isn’t the issue—it’s just that it’s very late now.”
“So? Do hospitals reject patients because it’s late at night? It’s fine for you two to have a drink at this hour, but I can’t get treated?” Timothy retorted.
He might be in a wheelchair, but his fearlessness made him just as imposing as William.
William’s gaze turned icy. In the blink of an eye, the air seemed to crackle with electricity–charged, volatile, dangerous.
I hurriedly tugged on his arm and indicated that I just wanted to confirm Timothy’s identity as soon as possible. That was why I offered to start treating him right now.
William looked at me with a terrifyingly deep gaze. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. However, he ultimately didn’t stop me. Instead, he scoffed coldly and simply left.
Timothy was about to leave with me, but his bodyguards and assistants stopped us. However, they all stood down with just a glance from him.
One of them reached for his phone to report the situation to the Hardwell family. However, Timothy’s sharp and severe gaze made him freeze. I could even see him trembling uncontrollably.
Timothy was ruthless by nature, which was further intensified by his aristocratic status. Hence, he could dominate others with his imposing presence despite being physically impaired.
I brought Timothy back to my work studio in Lestoria. I had set the place up in advance because of our research presentation at the Global Technology Forum and because many patients here needed our help.
Timothy was silent throughout the entire journey. He merely stared at me.
