This was Rosa's trump card.
For Ned, the time he spent injured in the hospital was when Rosa had emptied her savings and maxed out her credit cards to help him through the tough times.
Deep down, he knew that she was more than just his girlfriend. She was his savior and even closer than family.
She understood all too well that if she brought up the past, he would be inclined to compromise. Sure enough, after a brief moment of silence, Ned responded, "Alright, I'll have someone book the flight ticket."
With his confirmation, Rosa broke into a smile, wiping away her tears. "I knew it. You're the best person in the world to me, Ned. I really love you. Promise me—no matter what happens in this life, you won't leave me. You can't abandon me, okay?"
Each plea revealed Rosa's anxiety. In the past, Ned had been her devoted partner. Now, she felt as though she had become his. She simply couldn't leave Ned. Her love for him had grown immensely over the years, and she had to ensure he never saw Skylar again.
…
Jeremy knew where Ned was staying. After giving Skylar his number, he sent her the details of the hotel.
Skylar sat in her car, reading the hotel information while a surge of emotions rushed through her. Although Rosa hadn't provided a clear answer, her panicked demeanor almost confirmed that Ned had indeed been in a car accident over three years ago.
This was all just a coincidence.
The person who had been trapped in the underground factory with Paul was the real Ned. The Ned she knew now was Joe, who had lost some of his memories. This revelation made Skylar's heart race uncontrollably.
She had to see him tomorrow.
