I glanced at the two of them but didn’t expose their lies. Instead, I feigned amnesia.
“Jonah, since you’re my boyfriend, why don’t you take me home?”
The man named Jonah Mullen nodded and went to handle my discharge procedures.
Meanwhile, my real boyfriend, Eric Cobb, stood silently to the side.
In the end, it was Jonah who took me home. I quietly stepped out of the room and overheard him talking on the phone in the living room.
“Jonah, do me a favor—pretend to be Gina’s boyfriend for a while.”
“What you’re doing is crazy! She’s going to find out the truth sooner or later.”
“Don’t worry, dude. She’s easy to win over. Besides, she loves me so much—there’s no way she’d really leave me. But we’ve been together for two years, and honestly, I’m bored with her. So I plan to enjoy my freedom while she’s lost her memory.”
“You’ve hooked up with Lila, haven’t you? You’re just using this as an excuse to mess around with her.”
“It’s impossible for a man to spend his life with only one woman, though my heart still belongs to Gina.”
I silently returned to the room, making a slight noise as I opened the door. Then, I walked back out to the living room.
Hearing the sound, Jonah quickly hung up the phone and turned to look at me.
“Why don’t you rest a little longer?” He placed a hand on my forehead to check if I still had a fever. Then, he led me to sit on the sofa.
“I’m hungry.” Right on cue, my stomach growled loudly.
“What do you feel like eating? How could I make some mac-and-cheese for you?”
I nodded.
He got up and went to the fridge to pour me a glass of milk. After passing it to me, he ruffled my hair and planted a kiss on my cheek.
