Jenna had numerous mood swings throughout her stay and she was unconscious most of the time.
Nevertheless, Hansen had the patience to wait for her to call him 'Hansen' willingly, the name she used to call him.
Besides, he would rather that she forgot about the unpleasant memories.
On the rare occasions when she was awake, Jenna would always lean forward to scrutinize his features with a vacant expression on her face.
However, she became highly dependent upon him.
She would burst into tears whenever he was not around and cradle her pillow in frustration. Ever since Jerry came over, she would cradle him in her arms and sob as if Hansen had abandoned the both of them.
The fact that she relied on him for everything and was pretty obedient satisfied his pride as a man. Although regret sat in his stomach and he tried to make up for his mistakes as best as he could, he felt that her amnesia was not such a big deal.
Through these hardships, his business had grown and he was then far wealthier than before. He even trained a group of subordinates who were only loyal to him. Hence, he had the time and patience to accompany the both of them and they could finally live a happy and peaceful life, which they had always longed for.
"Alvin, are you really going to bring me to my mother?" On the airplane, Jerry wrapped his arms around Alvin's neck and asked ecstatically.
"Of course." Alvin stroked his head and said affectionately, "Jerry, your mother misses you very much."
"Great, I miss her very much as well. I haven't seen her for a very long time. Let me tell you, I dreamt of her last night but she vanished after a while. I was so frightened that I burst into tears in the dream." Tears welled up in his eyes as he recalled the dream from the night before.
Alvin's heart ached for him and he hugged Jerry tightly. He said comfortingly, "Silly, your mother is doing fine right now. Why would she disappear? Your Dad is taking good care of her. Nothing bad will ever occur again. Don't worry."
"Well, I believe that Dad is now very strong and powerful and will never let Mom encounter danger again." Jerry summed up his experience and analyzed the situation in detail. That time, he had complete faith in Hansen.
"Yes." Alvin nodded in agreement.
Jerry beamed from ear to ear throughout the journey. He was on cloud nine.
In the VIP suite of the hotel.
"Dad, when will Mom wake up?" Jerry inquired Hansen as he lay down on Jenna's bed with his hands under his chin. He stared at Jenna who was still fast asleep.
Jenna's face was scarlet due to the high fever and her body was warm to touch. Jerry was on tenterhooks as he blew onto her face, attempting to cool her down. He would stroke her hand once in a while. His face creased with worry.
"Don't worry. She will wake up soon. She muttered your name last night." Hansen wiped Jenna's body with a cloth as he said reassuringly.
"Did Mom really get amnesia? Will she remember me when she wakes up?" Jerry touched Jenna's face and asked hesitatingly.
Once he was done wiping Jenna's body to help her cool down, Hansen noticed that the flush had then faded from her face, revealing her pale skin. His heart ached terribly for her. After covering her with a blanket, he hugged Jerry and said, "Jerry, even if she forgets everyone else, she will never forget you. You are our baby. There's no way that she will forget you. Go and play somewhere else and let her have a good rest." "Oh, sure." Jerry nodded his head obediently as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. "Dad, I feel terrible seeing Mom so ill. You must make her get better soon."
Hansen's heart ached. He hugged him and gave him a peck on his forehead as he nodded his head and made a promise. "Don't worry, I will try my best to help her get better as soon as possible. She is my wife. I want her to recover soon as well."
As they were in the midst of their conversation, Marissa rushed into the room. "Hansen, what's wrong with Jenna?"
