Chapter 759:
Cole’s brow arched again, his puzzlement deepening. Her car?
Before he could respond, she huffed dramatically. “I’ve dealt with my fair share of admirers, but this is a new low. Lurking in my car like a lovesick stalker? That’s bold. Borderline pathetic, but bold p>
Cole let out a short, chilling laugh. “I’ve seen all kinds of women throw themselves at me, trying to catch my eye, but you? You take the prize. Wriggle your way into my car, plant yourself in my lap like it’s a throne, and then have the gall to call me the intruder p>
Up front, Myles smirked knowingly while the driver stifled a chuckle. Aron and Hugh perked up their ears, their eyes gleaming with amusement. A couple playfully bantering in their new roles was more entertaining than anything they’d seen in weeks.
Even with his memory loss, Cole’s taste for women clearly remained intact. Elliana still drew him in. Otherwise, with his temperament, he wouldn’t have bothered to exchange banter. Any girl daring to tease him like this would have been tossed out, face-first.
Elliana’s fists clenched at her sides as she silently cursed Cole. He said she was trying to catch his eye? This arrogant jerk! She had no intention of catching his eye. This was strictly professional. Just a routine follow-up on her patient. Did he actually believe she was starting to pursue him as per her old promise? Absolutely not.
She was here as a doctor, checking on a patient who’d once suffered from psychophrenia. She wanted to see how those three full doses of her specialized medication worked on him. That was her only reason for coming. And yet, this ungrateful man had conveniently forgotten her. So be it. There was no need to explain anything.
Elliana shot Cole a cold glare and then placed her hand on his wrist to push herself up. The movement looked casual, as though she needed support. In truth, she was using it to assess his condition.
She was slightly relieved. His skin was warm, his complexion healthy. There was a spark in his eyes. Physically, he was clearly on the mend. Everything seemed to be in perfect order, except for one glaring detail. He remembered everyone in the world—except for her.
She clenched her teeth. How frustrating the situation was. This was the same man who had once told her he loved her to the moon and back. Yet, upon waking up after receiving those three injections, he had neatly forgotten everything about her, as if she had never existed.
She began to wonder if every sweet thing he had ever said was just a lie. Perhaps those were words spun with precision to win her over, get her into his bed, and then vanish. This despicable behavior was no better than what Boris had done to Hailee. Yuk! Men like them had a gift for pretending to care, only to walk away when they were done putting on an act.
The more Elliana thought about it, the more her blood boiled. Insults lined up in her mind, ready to fire. Jerk. Scoundrel. Liar. Heartless bastard.
She was just about to speak when Cole’s voice interrupted her. “Miss, how long do you plan to hold my wrist p>
Startled, she looked down and realized her hand was still wrapped around his wrist.
He looked at her with a trace of amusement. “Are you satisfied yet?” he asked.
Cornered by Cole’s questioning, Elliana released his hand, her eyes sharp with defiance. Was he seriously asking if she was satisfied? The idea was so ridiculous that it almost made her laugh. If anything, she’d rather spit in his face than waste time staring at him.
