Your Heart Didn't Recognize Me novel Chapter 8

Keira didn't expect herself to still be alive. She smelled the disinfectant and lay there dazedly for a long time before returning to her senses.

A doctor checked her, sounding relieved as they said, "We had to operate on you for hours before dragging you back from death's doors. Thank God you're awake now."

Keira's gaze flickered at those words. She said hoarsely, "Thank you for saving me."

The doctor nodded, then looked at her hesitantly before asking, "Were your parents the ones who were here with you the other day?"

She parted her lips slightly but remained silent. The doctor didn't dare ask anything else when he saw the look on her face. They sighed and left.

Keira was alone at the hospital for the next two days. Nobody came to check on her.

Frank and Melinda only showed up at her ward on the day she was discharged. They weren't there out of concern, though. They'd come to give her a warning.

"Kimberly is getting married tomorrow. Since you promised us that you'd leave, do it before the wedding starts."

Keira nodded at their matter-of-fact tone. Their expressions softened slightly at her obedience. "Just let Kimberly have this so she can be happy. We'll bring you back to be reunited with us once she and Vincent have settled down and started a family. We've transferred enough money to your account, so take care of yourself when you're abroad."

After that, they hurried off to care for Kimberly. Keira watched them leave before pulling out the ticket to Endor that they'd given her earlier. She tore it to pieces. Then, she grabbed her phone and booked a ticket to Ozalia.

She would do as they wished and give everyone what they wanted. It was just that she would leave their world forever and make sure they would never be able to find her.

After leaving the hospital, Keira went to a lawyer and had them draft a parental disownment agreement. She signed it and placed it in a box, along with a recording of the stories Vincent had read to her when she'd been with him at the villa in the suburbs.
