在野外被三个男人躁一夜

Chapter 1222: Go for broke



"Aren\'t you leaving yet?" His secretary asked, probably wondering why he had not taken the half day off he had been doing these last few days.

"No. Not yet. I still have several backlogs I need to catch up with." David answered, showing the files stocked on his desk.

It was true.

Those folders had been sitting on his table for days. But it was not the reason he was working on it today. He guessed he needed something to occupy his mind, a distraction so he would not think about Rosella.

"What is going on, David?" Suddenly another voice joined in their conversation. When he looked up, Evan walked into the room. "How is Rosella?" His friend looked concerned.

He looked away from the papers on the table, dropped the pen, and acknowledged his friend.

"She is doing fine." He responded with a weak smile.

Quickly, his secretary excused herself and left them alone. Evan took the chair before him and comfortably sat on it while waiting for more details.

He wished he could tell his friend everything was great, but it was not. He wanted her Rosella back, but how.

"And then, why are you here? Aren\'t you supposed to be with her?" Evan curiously asked as his eyebrows furrowed in question.

He had been asking those same questions silently since waking up this morning. But he knew he had to stop himself from dropping everything and rushing to the hospital.

"Yes and no." He leaned on his chair, letting the palm of his hand cover his face. "I feel like I am losing my mind." He felt frustrated.

"Tell me. Maybe I can help." Evan offered, seemingly worried about him. "I don\'t like seeing you like this, man."

He did not like to look like this. He felt so lost. He did not know what he should do to make things right. It was like he was fighting against fate, and he was losing.

"What can you do? Can you make her remember? Even her family has no idea how to help Rosella." He told his friend.

He appreciated what his friend was trying to do. But at this point, he knew no one could help his situation.

They said Rosella needed time to recover. But the doctor would never guarantee that she would regain her memory.

What if she never remembered him again? What if she permanently forgot that she loved him?

"How can I live without her?" David said as he buried his face in his hands, feeling his entire world collapsing.

"You should not be thinking like that. Have faith, David." Evan said to him, standing up on the chair and walking to the window.

"Rosella might not remember you now, but the heart never forgets. Just give her time." Evan said as he looked at the busy city outside his office.

"How can you be so sure about that?" He asked his friend, suddenly wondering how their roles had changed. There was a time that they had a reversed situation.

But he guessed, at this time, his friend knew more than he did. After all, his friend married the woman for him despite his circumstances and past.

"I am not." Evan shook his head. "But if you love her, truly love her." Evan finally looked away from the window and stared at him. "You will do your best to win her back. You will never give up."

He had already thought of those words. Of course, he would fight for Rosella. He would never give up on their love.

"But what if she does not want me? What if she never loves me again?" David knew it was hard to voice his fear, but he had to say it. "And she just wants to move on with her life without me?"

"Then, let her go." Evan straightened his shoulder and walked toward him. "I know that is not what you want to hear, but love is about making our loved ones happy."

"If that is the only way she will be happy, you have no choice but to accept that." His friend added.

He understood what his friend was telling him. He had thought of that over and over in his head. But accepting it was another thing.

Still, Evan was right. He wanted Rosella happy, even if it meant he would end up miserable without her.

He wanted to see the smile on her face again and not the confusion and fear he saw in her eyes at the moment.

"How did you become a love guru?" He jokingly questioned his friend, appreciating his insightful advice.

"After marrying Amelia, I will never be the same again. She changed me in ways I could never explain." Evan triumphantly smiled, looking like he had just won the grand lottery.

And he agreed with him. His friend had made a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn from his old ways. From someone afraid of relationships, he became a deeply committed man, unafraid to love and be with one woman for the rest of his life.

"You have to trust your heart. Take the risk. Don\'t be afraid to jump into the fire." His friend said with so much passion, something he never thought he would hear from his friend. "But be ready to love unconditionally."

Hearing his friend, he knew his friend was right. He had to do something to win her back, but he would need time to prepare for his plan. And he guessed he would need some help.

"Can you handle my cases?" He asked as he started shoving the files on his desk aside. He grabbed his phone and keys and was ready to leave without waiting for his friend to reply.

"Go!" Evan shouted at him when he hesitated to exit the door.

"Thanks, man." He strode out of his room without looking back.

He knew what he should do. This time, nothing was stopping him. It was all or nothing.

"Go for broke." His mind told him.
