OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 180 – I Don’t Remember You but Your Eyes
Chapter 180: Chapter 180 – I Don’t Remember You but Your Eyes
Alex expected Joan to get better, especially after the person behind her condition had informed him that reminding her of the old things would help her regain her memory.
Was he playing with Alex or helping him? Alex had no intention of going back to Colton for help.
The only reason the bastard was alive was because of Joanna, and as soon as she was able to get along with anybody else who wasn’t Colton, then Alex could freely give the order for Colton to be eliminated.
Joanna had fallen back into a state of unconsciousness after the doctors managed to stabilize her, but after the various test results, it was time for them to report their findings.
"There is a high dose of a psychoactive drug in her system," the doctor explained. Alex was furious for being deceived.
Colton had some guts in deceiving him about Joanna’s condition. No wonder he insisted on being around the moment Joanna woke up.
"Whoever used it must have loved or hated her to experiment with such a high dose at once. It’s as if forcing her to remember things she has long forgotten and to forget things she already knows. If given the right dose, she wouldn’t have problems trying to remember the present like the past."
The doctor let out a frustrated sigh before he continued his explanation. "Her forcing herself to be in the present when she’s locked in the past is the cause of the headaches," he concluded, tempted to ask about whoever administered the drugs to Joanna but was afraid that Alex might rebuke him.
"Do what you have to do to make her better," Alex said in a pleading tone. The doctor was amazed. The Kings were only known to give orders, and yet, Alexander King himself was begging, which showed just how much he loved and cared for his wife.
"We are trying other medications to counter the effect of the other so she might continue hallucinating for a while."
The mention of medications put Alex on edge as he thought to remind the doctor. "I hope you know she’s pregnant. I don’t want anything to affect her or our child." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The doctor knew how damned he would be if anything happened to either Joanna or their unborn child.
"Of course, Mr. King," the doctor smiled, glad for the Kings to finally have an heir.
Hours passed, and Violet had called twice to check on Joanna, and during one of such moments, she asked Alex, "Has Aiden had a girlfriend before?"
Alex was confused because the answer was no and asked her, "No, but why do you ask?"
Violet was slightly reluctant but hoped Alex wouldn’t give her away. "Please don’t tell him that I told you, but I saw female clothes in his closet."
She was tempted to pick one and wear it after her shower but couldn’t stop wondering whom they belonged to.
Alex laughed before responding. "Have you tried any of them? He must have purchased them for you."
He was surprised Aiden had bought stuff for Violet even when they had broken up because there was no other woman in Aiden’s life deserving of that attention.
For some reason, Alex stayed on the line since Violet hadn’t ended the call.
A few minutes later, she was apologizing. "Thanks for telling me. I’m so sorry for doubting him. It won’t happen again."
A proud smile stretched Alex’s lips, knowing that Aiden wouldn’t cheat. However, he wasn’t offended because Violet had been through a lot in the hands of cheating men, so it was understandable for her to be constantly suspicious.
"That means the clothes fit," he replied teasingly. Violet smiled shyly and replied from the end of the line. "It fits perfectly."
It was a satisfying moment for Alex that Violet called him to inquire, rather than jumping to conclusions, and decided to inform her.
"Well then, you should know you are the first woman he sent home."
Violet was flattered, glad to finally meet a one-woman man. "Alright, thanks for letting me know, but do inform me when Joan wakes up, and I’ll be there with her mom."
Recalling how Joanna sought her mom, Violet felt that bringing Monica along would be a treat.
"That will be very appreciated, but as soon as all this is over, I will greatly reward you," Alex said honestly, but Violet was rather upset.
"I did it for my best friend, so keep your reward to yourself, Mr. King."
Alex chuckled but did not say anymore. Hours passed before Joanna finally woke up again, but this time she was calm.
Alex was by her side, surprised when she asked him for water and did not push him away. She stared at Alex’s gentle ways and though she could not remember him, she knew that he cared.
After emptying the glass, Alex asked if she wanted more, but she shook her head. "It’s enough for now."
The moment he dropped the drinking glass and stared at her, something caught her attention, and she spoke.
"I don’t remember you, but your eyes. It’s as if I’ve seen them somewhere before."
Alex didn’t know where this was going but felt it was a good start, especially when she hadn’t mentioned Colton like she always did whenever she woke up.
Perhaps she was getting used to not seeing him again, and if this continued, then Alex could go ahead and eliminate Colton before he became a menace.
"Are you sure it wasn’t the video I showed you?" He asked. Joanna raked her mind but eventually shook her head.
"It’s not you. It’s like I know someone who has your eyes."
Alex thought about Logan and brushed off the memory. If it was him, then Joanna should have remembered Alex too. Then it clicked, and he asked.
"This person you talk about. Is she a male or female?"
"A female, but I don’t remember her name," Joanna said. Alex knew it was Dion, and his heart warmed.
Dion had his eyes and black hair, but that was common. Alex’s sky-blue eyes were the rare ones only he and his family had.
"Can you tell me more about this girl I resemble? I want to know everything about her," Alex said excitedly. His grace calmed Joanna, and she began to narrate everything...
