Davon kept conscious even when he was asleep. Phoenix was by his side so he could relax a bit. But the loud sound of her body falling to the ground woke him up completely. He opened his eyes at once.
He looked around the room and saw that Phoenix fainted on the ground. The blood slowly flowed from her nose and covered her face, and even stained her collar.
Davon quickly got up and found the medical kit. He took out a silver needle and inserted it into an acupoint of Phoenix. Her nosebleed finally stopped.
He held Phoenix to the bed. Then he ordered his men to bring the instruments over and give her a body check and a head scan.
Phoenix said that she lost two years' memories. If that was true, she may have suffered a head injury that affected her nerves.
Soon, Davon saw the traces of Phoenix's brain surgery and also saw a pressed cranial nerve.
His face instantly clouded over.
So, what she said was true?
Did she really forget about him?
Davon's heart ached like it was hurt by a needle.
How could she forget those precious memories? Why did such a skillful operation oppress this nerve?
Now Phoenix probably wanted to think of something, so her old wound was torn apart, causing her nose to bleed. If it was not stopped, the effect of her previous surgeries might be gone.
Thinking about the consequences of cerebral hemorrhage, Davon looked gloomier.
"Take the instruments out. No one is allowed in without my permission."
"Yes."
The servants took all the instruments out.
Davon looked at the unconscious Phoenix and did not feel sleepy for a moment.
If it weren't for Phoenix, he would have given up on these years. Those days were all precious memories of his life. But to Phoenix, were they something that could be thrown away as she liked?
He knew that he couldn't blame Phoenix.
Back then, the surgeon had chosen the least harmful option. He even did a good job. If there was no past between him and Phoenix in that memory, perhaps he would have made the same decision. But Davon just felt very upset.
He couldn't help but think about that summer.
This was the first time he took his family's order to handle matters. He didn't expect that he would encounter terrorists halfway. To protect Kim, he asked Kim to take the goods with him and left first. He stayed to stop those people. In the end, he was outnumbered and captured by them.
Davon thought that he must be dead this time, but he didn't expect that a group of people would save them all. There was a beautiful girl among them. Later, he found out that her name was Phoenix, a member of the Special Action Force.
The Special Action Force was part of the army. At that moment, he was very grateful. He even felt that Phoenix was very sacred, so he was a little tempted. But he did not think that Phoenix looked sweet but had a hot temper.
During that operation, one of them was abducted. Phoenix risked her life to save that person. She did not listen to the military order and acted alone.
Davon wanted to follow her because he was afraid that something would happen to her, but she stopped him.
What did she say?
Oh, yes.
She said, "I don't need a rich young master who doesn't know anything to screw it up. Don't say you want to help me. I will be grateful if you don't cause trouble for me. Now, just get back wherever you come from. You don't get to help me! Piss off!"
This was the first time Davon had been scolded like a servant. And the person who scolded him was his love.
He felt his pride was badly hurt. But he also clearly knew that if he went with Phoenix, they would be dead. So, he left silently and contacted Kim to ask everyone from the Sawyer family to help Phoenix. But unfortunately, he was late in the end.
When Davon came back, the battle between the two sides had ended. The bloody battle made Davon heartbroken.
He asked about Phoenix and found that the person that Phoenix wanted to save was Samuel. Samuel was saved, but Phoenix's life was at stake.
At that time, there weren't many doctors in the military, and few of them were able to perform operations. Davon volunteered. He took out his medical license and said he would operate on Phoenix.
It was an operation that Davon felt terrified all his life. If he hadn't been skilled and forced himself to calm down to take Phoenix as a normal patient, the operation might fail that night.
After the operation, he was completely exhausted, unable to get up for a long time. Even Kim was frightened by him and thought that he was also injured.
But after he took a rest, he heard that Samuel and Phoenix were a couple. And they were even going to marry after they had been through this.
This ending upset Davon.
Although he wasn't a good person, he was still a gentleman to Phoenix. Phoenix saved his life and he saved hers, so they didn't owe each other.
Davon still felt upset when he thought about it in this way. But at least, he had an excuse to give up.
Because they needed to assist in the investigation, they had to stay in the camp for a few days. But a few days later, Samuel left alone and left Phoenix there.
Davon did not know what Samuel said to Phoenix. He just remembered that Phoenix found him and wanted to drink with him that day.
How was it possible for a seriously injured patient to drink with a doctor?
She said she was the Princess Inez of Country F. Then he would try to be a man who could match her and then proposed to her.
It didn't matter that Phoenix loved Samuel now. He would slowly replace Samuel in Phoenix's heart. He didn't care how long it would take as long as he could marry her.
Davon couldn't wait to tell Phoenix about this decision, but he couldn't find her throughout the camp. Later, he knew that Phoenix escaped after she realized she had slept with Davon.
No one told Davon where she went. After all, he was not suitable to know the whereabouts of Phoenix. Even if Davon used all his connections, he could not find Phoenix.
Later on, the situation in the country was unstable, so Davon had no choice but to get back to Country F. But he left something for Phoenix.
He left the necklace he had brought with him since he was young to Phoenix. It was a token of affection that his father, William, bought for his mother, Sally. It was the only thing that Sally left for him when she gave birth to him and handed him over to the Sawyer family.
Davon left this to Phoenix as a token, a token that meant he would come back to marry her in the future.
But he didn't think that she would forget about him when they met again. She was still thinking about Samuel.
Even though Samuel was married and did not like her, she was still in love with him. And everything between Davon and her disappeared after the operation.
Davon felt that this was an irony, a great irony.
These years, along with the changing of his identity, women kept chasing him. But he still remembered that he was an engaged man, that he took Phoenix's virginity in a lovely night. He had to take responsibility for her. But now, Phoenix forgot everything about them.
Then what should he do?
Should he let her go and give her freedom?
Thinking of this possibility, Davon felt hurt.
How could that be?
Even if the woman Davon fancied did not love him, and even if she forgot about him, he would not allow her to leave him.
Looking at the unconscious Phoenix again, Davon sighed and softly rubbed his temples. Then he came to Phoenix's bed, reached out to unbutton her shirt.
Anyway, he should change her clothes first. Although he felt pleased to see her wear his clothes, it was not a girl's clothes. Besides, she was in a coma now, so it was uncomfortable for her to wear his clothes. It was better to change into pajamas.
Thinking of this, Davon directly took off her clothes without worries.
They had done what a couple would do. And now he had no intention of letting go of her. They had to face it sooner or later. Even if Phoenix could not remember anything, he had to make her get used to his existence.
Davon gave a faint smile. But suddenly, he stopped unbuttoning. His face showed surprise and some complicated feelings.
