Without hesitation, she booked a one way ticket to Santawill City for two weeks later.
Just as she confirmed the flight, a nurse knocked on her door.
“Miss Windsor, it’s time for your follow up appointment“]
She nodded and eased herself into the wheelchair, following the nurse out of the room.
What she didn’t expect was that, the moment the elevator doors opened, she’d come face to face with the very man whose photos she had scrolled through countless times just days ago-

The one person she had completely forgotten after her memory loss.

“How did you know I was here? You followed me to the hospital too?”
Willow froze
This was her first time sering Jax in person since the accident]
She had thought it might feel awkward, unfamiliar, maybe even bittersweet.||
What she hadn’t expected was disgust

Jas gave her a cold, scrutinizing look, as if assessing her every word. Just as he was about to speak a nearby hospital room door opened
A woman stepped out
His entire demeanor shifted in an instant–his sharpness softened, his features genched–and he rushed over.
Dena, you re still running a fever, I told you to stay in bed. Why are you up?
At the sound of that name, Willow instinctively turned her head[]
The woman wore a flowing while dress, with a chestnut hair cascading down her shoulders and porcelain skin that almost glowed under the hospital lights.
She gave Willow a polite smile and asked gently. The room was stuffy. I just needed some fresh air. Jax, who’s this?“||
“She’s Willow Windsor, ja replied calmly. “A friend of my sister’s. She works in our design department. We’re not particularly close.“||
Willow listened as he introduced her. His tone was measured and distant–like he was describing a stranger he had barely interacted with.||
Dena smiled warmly, her voice soft. Nice to meet you, Willow. Your head is bandaged were you in an accident?“||

After her scans, Willow went to the pharmacy to collect her prescriptions
On the way back, the early spring sunshine filtering through the hospital courtyard tempted her. She rolled her wheelchair toward the fountain, hasking in the
Just as she reached the edge of the pool, a familiar figure approached]
“Elena?” she asked, slightly surprised
The woman smiled and nodded. “What a coincidence. I came out for some air too.”
Willow returned the smile politely, about to make small talk, when Elena walked over naturally and took over pushing her wheelchair, speaking breezily
“Jax had to take a call, left me on my own. I was getting bored out of my mind. Since I ran into you, mind if we chat for a bit?”
She paused briefly, then added, her tone slightly probing

Willow’s fingers paused slighty on the armrest, but her heart didn’t skip a beat.||
She looked up at the graceful woman beside her and smiled, her voice calm and composed.]
“I’m not sure who that was. But if someone pursued him for seven years, and he still only has eyes for you, then it’s clear–you’re the one who truly matters to him. Everyone else doesn’t“]
