The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

+58)

Chapter 160

The doctor and nurse stepped out, their expressions neutral. Raphael immediately approached, eager to get any

information.

Owen, on the other hand, stayed back, unwilling to ask. He feared hearing the sapology from the doctor as

last time. He couldn't endure this kind of torment any longer.

“The patient sustained a head injury, but it's not life-threatening. She underwent stitches and should wake up

once the anesthesia wears off,” the doctor said indifferently.

Owen felt a weight lift off his chest, relief flooding through him. Hailey was moved to a regular room, and Owen

stayed beside her. Raphael remained outside, not because he didn’t want to be there, but because there was no

point. They both knew that the chance was gone.

Hailey still hadn't woken up from the anesthesia. She lay in her hospital gown, pale from blood loss. Her face was

partially hidden beneath the blanket, giving her a fragile, pitiful appearance. The bandage on her forehead was

stained with blood.

Owen stared at her, not once blinking. After a long moment, he leaned in and kissed her forehead softly.

At that moment, Hailey’s eyes fluttered open. Her gaze met his, and she whispered, “Owen...” Her eyes welled

with tears, and a single drop slipped down her cheek.

“I remember,” she whispered.

It was unclear if it was the shock of the basement or the blow to her head, but as she regained consciousness, all

her memories crushing back. Yet, Hailey thought, ‘Maybe it’s better if | don’t remember.”

Owen hadn't fully processed her words when he noticed the redness around her eyes. He leaned down and

gently kissed her eyelids. “Why are you crying? Isn't remembering a good thing?”

His voice was so tender it could melt ice, his eyes filled with concern.

Hailey sobbed harder, tears streaming down her face. She raised her hand, her delicate fingers gripping his shirt

as she whispered his name, again and again.

“Owen...”

“Owen...”

“Can you hug me?”

She was fragile, like a child seeking comfort.

Owen carefully pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her back, soothing her softly.

Hailey cried for what felt like an eternity.

Her body still weak from the surgery, she soon drifted off to sleep in his arms. But her sleep wasn’t peaceful. Her

fingers clung tightly to his shirt.

With a sigh, Owen pulled her closer, holding her tightly in his arms. Hailey was so small, curled up against him,

pale and

vulnerable.

Owen thought, I've waited two years... finally, | can feel her warmth again. This time, there will be no mistakes.

We're meant to be together-engaged, married, and living the life we deserve.

The sweetness of this thought softened his usually cold expression.

Chapter 160

Owen drifted off to sleep. When he woke, Hailey, in his arms, was gone..

As Owen sat up, the door to the hospital room opened. Hailey stood there, her small face still pale. A bandage

was wrapped around her forehead, and her hair hung loosely behind her. She looked quiet and obedient.

“Hailey,” Owen called softly, sensing something was wrong. Her eyes were distant, cold.

She looked at him like he was a stranger.

He remained motionless.

“Let's break up,” she said coldly.

Owen bit his lip. After a long pause, he finally asked quietly, “Why?”

Hailey stared at him, her voice steady. “Two years... We've both changed. Raphael is more suited to me. He can

a,

Owen couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his head, his face shadowed, his voice cold as ice. “Hailey, are you

playing with

me?”

Hailey took a slow breath, her voice steady but soft. “I'm not playing games with you, Owen. We should break

up. I'm sure neither of us wants things to get more complicated. Let's just part ways peacefully, okay?”

“Peacefully,” Owen muttered, his voice laced with sarcasm. He raised his head, his eyes cold as he asked, “So,

you've fallen for Raphael, haven't you?”

Her face remained pale, expression like ice. After a moment of silence, she gave a small nod.

“Fine,” Owen said, his tone sharp and final. “I'll set you free.”

Without another word, he stood up and walked out of the room, his steps echoing in the silence.

Hailey stood frozen for a long time, her hand pressed gently to her forehead. His cold words had sliced through

her, and a sharp pain stabbed at her heart.

Hailey thought, “This is it. There's no way back now. We're over. We were never meant to be.”

From that moment, Hailey severed all ties with Owen. She spent another week in the hospital, but she didn’t let

herself rest.

She reached out to Lily and Suzanne, telling them everything, and they both cto visit her.

Next, she logged into her long-neglected author account on X and posted a message. Her fans erupted in

excitement, and the post quickly trended on X: The Legendary Webist River is back.

Before long, members of the Dalton family, former colleagues, and old friends began visiting her.

The ones who cried the hardest were Joshua and Holly.

Six months ago, Holly finally won Isaac’s heart, and now, compared to two years ago, she had blossomed into a

stunning beauty. Her figure was slim and graceful, her limbs long and elegant, and her round, youthful face

made her look like a high school girl-fresh, innocent, and undeniably charming.

Holly had beceven more delicate in the past six months, being spoiled by Isaac; but her softness was far

from irritating. It was endearing, a quality that only made her more captivating.

From the moment she stepped in until she left, Holly hadn't stopped crying-she was a mess of tears, practically

sobbing through the entire visit.

Then there was Joshua. Now a second-year college student, but to Hailey, he was still the sreckless, cocky

younger brother she remembered Seeing her alive, he broke down completely, his eyes swollen and red from

crying.

After sending off all the family and friends, Hailey felt a deep sense of exhaustion settle in. She could tell they all

wanted to ask about Owen-why he wasn’t by her side-but none of them did. It was as if they knew something

had gone wrong between them, and they respected the silence.

“If you're tired, you should get srest. We'll be checking out this afternoon,” Raphael said as he entered,

handing her a

warm water.

Thank you, Hailey replied quietly.

Raphael sat beside her, peeling an orange and placing the segments on a plate for her. Hailey’s gaze lingered on

the window, distant and unfocused.

He glanced at her and quietly asked, “What's your plan moving forward?”

After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice calm but decisive. “Ill go back to the Dalton mansion.”

Hailey thought, My work isn’t finished yet. Two years have passed, and those people are already becoming bold

again. A cold, calculating glint flashed in her eyes as she thought about it.

Raphael watched her, lips pressed together, then nodded slowly. “Be careful. If you need help, don’t hesitate to

reach out.”

She gave a soft nod in acknowledgment, her eyes lowering as she remained lost in thought.

Raphael observed her quiet demeanor, unsure of what to say. Since regaining her memory, Hailey had bec”

At least before, she had seen him as a friend she could trust. But now, there was only a chilling indifference

between them.
