The afternoon sun hung lazily in the sky, but inside Stefan's hospital room, the atmosphere crackled with sudden electricity. When the words left Owen's mouth — "She's injured" — the calm mask Stefan had carefully worn all day shattered like glass.
His eyes sharpened. His body tensed. And before he could stop himself, the urgency in his voice betrayed him completely.
"When did this happen?" Stefan demanded, his voice rough with barely concealed anxiety.
Owen observed the dramatic shift with keen interest, a knowing glint flickering in his eyes. He explained that Renee had participated in some kindergarten competition and fallen from a high platform. The injury was serious, he said, quite serious indeed.
What happened next intrigued Owen even more. He had only been watching the live broadcast out of boredom, a casual distraction on a slow afternoon. But Stefan's reaction told an entirely different story. The veins in Stefan's neck stood out, his jaw clenched tight, and worry radiated from him like heat from a furnace.
A smirk curled Owen's lips as he decided to poke the sleeping tiger. "She's a mother with two kids, but you're interested in her," he teased mercilessly. "You both must have a very interesting story... Maybe you're the father of her kids."
The accusation hung in the air like a grenade waiting to explode.
Stefan scoffed, his pride rising to defend itself even as something deep within him trembled. "Nonsense," he snarled arrogantly. "I'm not so vulgar to have kids with a frivolous woman like her."
But Owen was not so easily dismissed. His smile only widened, taking on that infuriating quality of a man who knew more than he let on. "Didn't you lose your memory?" he pointed out with surgical precision. "How would you know? Did you ask your family about it?"
The question struck Stefan like a physical blow. No, he hadn't asked. His family had told him nothing about children, about Renee, about any of it. Yet somehow, the absence of answers only fed the gnawing suspicion growing in his chest.
"No, I didn't," Stefan argued stubbornly, though even he could hear the uncertainty creeping into his voice. "My family would have brought the kids home if they were related to me instead of not mentioning them at all."
"Maybe they have their concerns," Owen shrugged philosophically. He didn't press further; instead, he offered a practical solution. Once Stefan recovered, Owen would perform a full check-up and attempt to treat his brain. If everything went smoothly, the truth would reveal itself like the dawn breaking through darkness.
Stefan nodded quietly. It was the only possible path forward, but his mind had already raced far ahead — to a hospital room where a woman lay injured, and to the inexplicable pull that drew him toward her like a moth to flame.
The moment Owen departed, Stefan moved with decisive urgency. He pulled the IV needle from his arm without a second thought, wincing slightly as the sharp metal slid free. Clean clothes replaced hospital gowns. And in minutes, he slipped out of the hospital like a ghost escaping its confines.
Elijah waited below in the car, his expression shifting to concern the instant he laid eyes on his boss. Stefan's face was as white as the sheets he'd just abandoned, beaded with sweat from the physical strain.
"Sir, isn't it bad for you to leave the hospital now?" Elijah asked, his brow furrowing with genuine worry.
"We're leaving. Hurry up and start the car," Stefan ordered, his voice cold as winter steel.
Elijah obeyed, his hands gripping the steering wheel as he hesitated over his next question. "But... where are we going? The company?"
Stefan's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, and for a terrifying moment, Elijah felt his life flash before his eyes.
"Didn't I tell you I'm going to Renee?" Stefan's voice dripped with murderous intent.
Elijah sputtered in his own defense — after all, Stefan had only ordered him to come! But the air in the car had grown so thick with menace that his words died in his throat.
Stefan closed his eyes, muscles in his jaw twitching as he forced the words through clenched teeth. "Have I made myself clear now? I'm going to Renee!"
And finally, the light bulb went off in Elijah's head.
"Oh! You want to see Miss Everheart. What a surprise!" Elijah practically sang the words, determined to point out what was becoming increasingly obvious. "I'm sure you have different feelings for her. Well, you should have told me earlier... She's staying in the same hospital as you."
The implication hung there — that somewhere deep beneath Stefan's amnesia and carefully constructed walls, a connection to this woman remained unbroken.
Stefan's response was immediate and physical — a sharp whack that sent Elijah yelping in protest.
"You're losing your mind. Don't you have enough on your plate? I don't mind giving you more work!" Stefan shot him a freezing glare.
"It's alright, I have enough work. I'll take you to her now," Elijah conceded quickly, smart enough to recognize a lost battle when he saw one.
And so, the car parked, the door opened, and Stefan — pale, weak, yet driven by something he couldn't name — stepped purposefully toward the hospital entrance. His heart pounded with questions he couldn't answer and feelings he refused to acknowledge.
Why was he here? Why did this woman's safety matter so much to him?
His feet carried him forward anyway, one step at a time, toward the woman who held secrets to a past he couldn't remember — and maybe, just maybe, a future he couldn't deny.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What an emotionally charged chapter! The way Stefan's careful composure collapses the moment Renee's injury is mentioned shows just how deeply she's etched into his heart, even without his memories. His stubborn denials feel almost childlike now — the more he insists he doesn't care, the more obvious his feelings become. And Elijah! That cheeky assistant is practically begging for a raise with the way he keeps poking at Stefan's blind spots. I love the layered tension here and the tantalizing question of what Stefan will discover when he finally sees Renee. Is it just concern for an injured woman, or is it something far more profound awakening within him?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With Stefan rushing to see Renee despite his own injured state, I predict an intensely emotional encounter awaits us. He will likely witness her injuries firsthand, and seeing her vulnerable may trigger fragmented memories of their past — or at the very least, force him to confront feelings he can no longer suppress. Will Renee push him away in anger, or will their meeting crack open the door to reconciliation? One thing is certain — Stefan's family will not be pleased when they discover his unauthorized escape, and the secrets they've kept hidden may be closer to exposure than they realize.
