Chapter 562:
Slowly, Eileen crouched down and gazed up at him. âBryan, I know youâve forgotten the past. But itâs okay. Iâll be with you, helping you remember, step by step. Letâs go home now, okay?â
Despite Eileenâs tender words, Bryanâs face remained blank, showing no sign of recognition or response.
How could this be?
Noticing this, Zelda approached and gently patted Bryanâs shoulder. âSheâs speaking to you. At least give her an answer.â
âI donât know her,â Bryan replied, his voice rough and almost unrecognizable to Eileen.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zelda, a clear sign of his deep trust in her.
It was clear that Bryan trusted Zelda completely. So much so, that he refused to even acknowledge Eileenâs words.
Eileenâs emotions flared up suddenly, urging her to step forward without thinking. But Zeldaâs steady hand gently held her back.
âCalm down,â Zelda said. âIf you startle him, he might not say a word.â
Zeldaâs calming words sparked a glimmer of hope in Eileen. Desperately, she pleaded, âIâm his wife. Please, trust me. Help me get him to come home with me!â
Zelda repeated Eileenâs words to Bryan. Bryan, who had been detached and focused on his task, finally stopped. He slowly turned his head to look at Eileen.
Seeing his gaze, Eileen held her breath, fearing that her shaky breathing might influence his decision.
But Bryan only glanced at her for a moment before turning his attention back to Zelda. âI only know you,â he said. âAnd I only trust you.â

She had never imagined a day would come when she would be unable to speak to Bryan directly.
What hurt even more was seeing Bryan, who used to care only for her, now placing his trust in another woman right in front of her.
The pain was intense, making each breath feel like a struggle.
Though her heart ached, Eileen rose and signaled Zelda to come closer for a private conversation.
âMiss Dury, I truly appreciate everything youâve doneâsaving him, getting him to the hospital, and even posting his video online,â Eileen said, bowing slightly. âNow, Iâd like to take him home. Thank you so much for taking care of him these past few days.â
Eileenâs gratitude was sincere, but she was taken aback when Zelda said, âI canât let you take him. Do you know how much I spent to save him? The medical bills are in the tens of thousands of dollars!â
âDonât worry,â Eileen replied quickly. âIâll pay you double for your care.â
For Eileen, money wasnât an issue in this case.
âAbsolutely not.â Zelda shook her head, her determination clear. âDo you understand my situation right now?â
