Chapter 25 1 offered an awkward smulle .
Oh , I see .
If my brother comes around , Ill tell him how kind youve been to me , Ill make sure he treats you to a great meal .
Then 1 paused , realizing that someone like Miles probably wouldnt care for a casual dinner invite .
I quickly corrected myself .
No , Ill have him give you one of his best projects to handle instead .
I wont compete with you for it .
Miless gaze deepened .
Is that how you plan to thank me ? 1 froze for a moment .
He chuckled lightly and casually patted my head , a gesture more fitting for comforting a child .
Thats unnecessary .
Even if it wasnt for your brother , Id still help you if it were your issue .
Why ? I asked , still baffled .
Miles winked at me .
Have you forgotten ? Im your Woody I was completely lost .
Miles didnt seem inclined to explain further .
After a few more pleasantries , he left the room .
Lying back on the bed , I stared at the IV drip bottle , letting my mind wander aimlessly .
The more I thought , the less clarity I found .
My brain felt utterly blank .
Frustration seeped in as I realized I couldnt recall anything about my past with Julian , or even my childhood memories of Miles .
All I could remember were a few hazy fragments , the most vivid being me calling him Woody .
Beyond that , rest of my memories involving him were indistinct , as if blurred by time .
But why did Miles speak as though we had a close bond during my childhood ? the Was I overthinking it ? Maybe Miles was simply being extra attentive because of his friendship with my brother .
I sighed deeply , my gaze fixed on the IV drip bottle by the bed .
It was a large bag of medication , and judging by the slow pace , it looked like Id be stuck here for quite a while .

When I woke up , it was already past eight in the evening .
The nurse gently shook me awake , then removed the IV tube and urged me to get up and move around a bit .
I quickly headed to the bathroom .
After washing my face , I noticed how pale I looked , with some puffiness around my features .
Surprisingly , the slight swelling added a touch of softness to my sharp face , giving it a hint of baby fat .
I pinched my cheeks , the familiar sensation bringing a small smile to my lips .
Standing in front of the mirror , I was relieved .
My face was still intact ! The once beautiful heiress of the White family hadnt completely turned into a worn out housewife .

As I stepped out of the bathroom , I nearly collided with wh felt like a wall .
I stumbled but was steadied by a strong hand gripping my arm .
Looking up , I found myself face to face with Miles again .
He had changed into casual homewear , his fresh and relaxed appearance catching me off guard .
Feeling embarrassed , I stammered , Miles… uh , why are you here again ? The moment I spoke , I realized my wording sounded wrong Waving my hands , I quickly corrected myself .
No , no , thats not what I meant .
I just thought youd be busy , Miles .
He pushed his glasses up with an amused smile .
When did ever tell you I was busy ? I fumbled , Well … arent you supposed to be ? His smile deepened .
Do I seem that way to you ? Even if I am busy , theres always a time to finish work .
Uh … I hesitated .
I just thought someone like you would always be out at business dinners or working on company affairs .
When I was younger , I remember my dad being incredibly busy all the time .
And when he handed the company over to my brother , it was just as chaotic for him .
Mentioning my family , I couldnt help but say more .
With a wistful look , I added , Before my brother took over the company , he used to spend so much time with me .
But afterward , I hardly ever saw him .
Miles gaze flickered with something unreadable .
