Chapter 2237
Night of Destiny
Ethan looked at Jacques, who was dozing off beside him, and patted his shoulder. âJacques, wake up.â
Startled awake, Jacques opened his eyes and instantly became alert when he saw Ethanâs serious
gaze. âWhatâs wrong, sir?â
âWho is she?â Ethan asked, pointing to the person in the photo. âDo you remember something, Mr.
Ethan?â Jacques exclaimed with excitement.
At that, Ethan scowled at him. âWould I ask you if I remembered?â Jacques blinked. Good Lord! Mr.
Ethanâs authoritative demeanor remains unchanged despite losing his memory, and his attitude toward
me hasnât changed much either! He had hoped that with Ethanâs amnesia, the man would be a bit
gentler toward him, but it wasnât the case.
Jacques felt it necessary to introduce the young lady in a grand manner. He cleared his throat and said,
âThis young ladyâs name is Josephine Jacobson. She is from Zoravia and is your beloved, sir. She went
to the Arctic for you and is currently in the hospital. You can see her soon.â
âMy beloved?â Ethanâs gaze softened at that. âYes, and you are her beloved as well. You both love
each other,â Jacques said. Shoot, Miss Jacobson wonât be able to handle Mr. Ethanâs amnesia, he
thought. They are so in love, yet he has forgotten all about her!
âYou said sheâs here too, right?â Ethan asked, to which Jacques nodded in affirmation. âYes, sheâs here.
Sheâs just resting because sheâs worn out.â
Ethan returned to the photo, his hand supporting his forehead as he desperately tried to dig up any
memories of her. Alas, he couldnât find a single trace of her in his memory, even when his mind became
chaotic.
âGive it a rest, Mr. Ethan. Donât force yourself. Just fall in love with each other again.â Jacques
empathized with Ethan, who sighed dejectedly. âIâm useless.â
âNo, the reason you got hurt and lost your memory is because you saved a lot of people. Mr. Ethan, in
my heart, you are a great person,â Jacques said admiringly. Ethan doubted the manâs words. Still, he
stared at the photo, unable to divert his gaze. Is this woman really my beloved?
It was already dawn, and the doctor came to examine him again. Ethan got out of bed as well. After
lying down for too long, his body felt a bit stiff. He took Jacques for a walk outside.
Although Josephine had taken sleeping pills, her sleep remained shallow. When the sunlight poured
into the room, it woke her up. She opened her eyes, immediately threw off the covers, and got out of
bed. After freshening up, she went out.
When she arrived at Ethanâs ward and pushed open the door to find an empty bed, she was startled,
and her breath caught in her throat. Where is Ethan? Where is he? Is he being resuscitated again? Did
something happen to him?! Feeling frightened, she turned around and grabbed a nurse. âWhere is
Ethan?â
âIâm not sure. The nurse shook her head, for she had just started her shift. Josephine felt even more
terrified in response. Her mind had been prone to wandering lately, and now, she was imagining even
worse scenarios. Tears welled up in her eyes. Could it be that his condition worsened during my sleep,
and he has been transferred to another hospital?!
She looked up amidst her panic. She turned around to search for Ethanâs parents only to be stunned
the next moment as just a few feet behind her was an awoken Ethan. He was gazing at Josephine
while observing her.
Overjoyed, she disregarded everything and rushed toward him. âEthan!â She bawled as she threw
herself into Ethanâs arms. âYouâre finally awake!â She cried tears of joy, knowing he would wake up.
Ethan lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. Her trembling body pressed tightly. against
him due to happiness. However, he felt unsure and helpless. Jacques quickly gestured to him and
explained, âMr. Ethan, this is Miss Jacobson, your beloved.â
Ethan, of course, knew that. He reached out and patted her shoulder to reassure her. Josephine looked
up and took a step back. Her eyes examined him from head to toe. âAre you okay? Do you feel any
discomfort?â
At that, she looked into Ethanâs profound eyes. Suddenly, her heart squeezed. Why does Ethanâs gaze
look so unfamiliar? Amidst her stupefaction, Ethan, too, gentlemanly withdrew his hand and said, âIâm
fine. Itâs just that⦠Iâve lost my memory. Iâm sorry, Josephine.â
He blinked nervously. Iâm not mistaken, right? Her name is Josephine, right
