Chapter 729 - Ache in My Heart

Sayuri's eyes fluttered open.

For a moment, she was disoriented.

Where was she?

What happened?

Her hand was being gripped and she looked at it in a daze, then at the owner of the hand that was holding her.

The familiar black head of hair was lying down on the bed, his handsome face facing her. Her heart ached for him. He looked so haggard, with his messy hair and stubbles. He even had dark circles under his eyes.

Did he not sleep?

Her head ached and she frowned.

Her mind was still rather disoriented and she didn't remember much. Seeing the face of the man she loved so much just lying there, Sayuri didn't really care much about what had happened.

She just wanted to comfort him.

She raised her hand to stroke his hair and suddenly stopped.

Something shiny was on her finger.

Her eyes widened.

She stared at it.

She brought her hand closer to her eyes and it was still there.

Sayuri's movements woke Kyle up and he opened his eyes. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Her eyes were open and staring at the ring on her finger without blinking.

"Sayuri," he gasped out in happiness, his voice a bit hoarse since he just woke up.

"Kyle," she said, in wonderment, "What is this? Why am I wearing this?"

Kyle smiled and stood up, asking, "You remember who I am?"

She frowned, "Of course I do. How can I not know you?"

"Do you remember what happened?" Kyle asked gently.

She shook her head, "Not really."

"What is the last thing you remember?"

Sayuri pursed her lips, thinking hard, her eyebrows furrowed tight. Bits and pieces were there but she couldn't quite grasp at it.

She felt like she was forgetting something important, but she didn't know what it was.

The more she tried, the more her head ached.

She looked at Kyle, and suddenly tears fell down, "Kyle, what happened? I … there's this ache in my heart and I don't know why."

"You had a fall, hitting your head. You've been in a coma for the past couple of months," Kyle explained, "The doctors said you may have amnesia. I will tell you everything, but you must first tell me what is the last thing you remember?"

"We've just got back from Country M," Sayuri said, blushing a bit as she remembered their Mile High Club activity. How it had been the best s.e.x they had, though they had almost got caught.

Kyle smiled sadly, saying, "That was over a year ago."

"Oh," Sayuri said, surprised but not really agitated about it, "But why ... "

Something else was bothering her, and it wasn't the fact that she had lost nearly a couple of years of memory. She pressed her hand on her heart, "Why does this hurt?"

And why was she wearing a ring? Why was Kyle looking at her so gently? What had happened in that entire time?

"Let the doctor check-up on you first," Kyle said, "Then we'll have a long talk."

"Okay," Sayuri said obediently. She wanted to know what happened as well.

While the doctor did his check-up, Kyle talked to Kay.

[She's awake, Kay, but she has forgotten everything from the moment we came back from Country M. She doesn't remember our kids at all]

[What did the doctor say?]

[They're still checking her. Please update the others. Grandfather and Uncle would be happy to know as well] Kyle said, referring to Sayuri's side of the family.

They had been around in the first two weeks, but eventually had to go back to settle the company and clan issues. Since Kyle was now Sayuri's husband, they could leave Sayuri in Kyle's care without guilt or worries.

[Of course, leave it to me. You just focus on Sayuri for now]

[I intend to] Kyle replied, as he stood at the doorway, watching nervously.

Once the examination was over, Kyle listened to the doctor's instructions.

"She is generally fine, and healing well," the doctor said, "As with her memories, it does not appear to be too serious as she has only forgotten the past year or so. Yet, she does seem to feel like there is something, so this indicates that her brain is trying to heal."

"So just give her time? Can I reveal what has happened? Would that be detrimental? Can I show her our children?"

"I would only advise it after she is mentally prepared for it," the doctor replied, "Seeing them may be a trigger for her memories to return … or, it may cause it to shut down as well."

"Shut down?"

"It depends on the trauma that was inflicted," the doctor explained, "The brain tends to shut down to protect itself from really stressful or bad memories."

Kyle smiled, "Then I think it would be best if she was introduced to our children."

Sayuri had, after all, done everything to protect them. Even now, when she couldn't remember them, her soul did. She missed them. She was worried about them. She just didn't know it yet.

Kyle hoped that her deep, maternal instincts would bring her memories back.

Sayuri stared through the huge glass window of the nursery room. She was in the wheelchair in the corridor, her hands placed on the glass window.

"Those are ours?" she gasped, looking at the beautiful twin babies in the cot.

The twins had already been well enough to be taken out of NICU, but were still under observation. Hence, they were not discharged yet. Their weight gain was good, and their jaundice had cleared up, but the hospital was cautious.

If all goes well and the tests were clear, they would have been able to go home by the end of the week.

"Yes," Kyle replied, "Alexander Belvior and Aurora Misty Smith."

"Belvior?!" Sayuri gasped, "Who came up with that name?"

Kyle grinned, "You did."
