Loving A STRANGER 208 Chapter 208: I Will Remember I

When Ethan and Kylie arrived, they found Dora lying on a hospital bed in the middle of the hallway. When he asked a nurse why she was in the hospital hallway, it was explained to him that there weren't enough rooms to waste one on someone who was refusing treatment. He even noticed that the nurse was p.i.s.sed off while throwing a glance at Dora. 

Hearing his voice, Dora looked up and was surprised to see that he'd brought Kylie. She thought that Ethan would arrive alone to take care of her. She met Ethan's eyes and apologized for bothering him. Ethan nodded and asked her what was going on. Dora explained that she felt noxious and light-headed; dizzy – and she couldn't feel her right arm. Ethan didn't say any words after hearing Dora's complaint. 

Right away, Ethan dialed the number of a surgeon that he trusted, and knew he was on s.h.i.+ft and asked the surgeon to meet him in an operating room. He felt obliged to help Dora at this moment. He ended the call quickly and told a nurse to take Dora to one of the operating rooms. He looked at Dora and said, "You need surgery right away. You are lucky that I showed up when I did. If this had gone untreated any longer than it did, you would be dead within the hour. Let that be a lesson to your ego and paranoia!"

Dora went silent, and deep inside, she felt betrayed because she realized Ethan had changed a lot after being together with Kylie. 

As they walked into the operating room, it suddenly occurred to Kylie that Ethan had probably treated many women and felt incredibly jealous. She can't accept the fact that her husband has been so good to some women around him. He must have seen many holes and b.r.e.a.s.t.s. He'd probably seen so many that he didn't even remember them all. 

Having those thoughts, before Ethan scrubbed in, Kylie pulled him aside to voice some of her concerns, demanding to know how many women he'd 'treated' over the course of his career, and how he was connected to Dora. She felt lost about her husband's real ident.i.ty. Ethan ignored the first question, but he explained that Dora often ran errands for him and collected material for him.  

Kylie squinted her eyes and asked him if this had anything to do with Matthew Parker. If it did, she realized, their relations.h.i.+p made more sense. Mathew had been responsible for the human trafficking scheme that had ruined his childhood. From what she'd observed though, Matthew either didn't recognize Ethan, or he thought that Ethan hadn't known him. That is to say, and he felt safe – which is exactly how Ethan wanted him to feel.    

Either way, the situation gave Ethan the upper hand. He had only to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike back. If he was patient, Matthew would definitely not see him coming. If Dora was a part of his scheme to get revenge, then she could forgive him completely. If there was something else going on, though, she could rightly a.s.sume that every female patient he'd seen over the years was a direct threat to her and her relations.h.i.+p with Ethan. 

"Ethan, who really you are? If you hide something to me, bear in mind that I will not forgive you," She warned him. 

"Honey, please, this is not the right time to explain everything. Rest a.s.sured, I will not betray you for faith's sake!" He said abruptly.

"Ethan Parker, I have my limit and boundaries of allowing you get closer to any woman," She sneered at him. 

"Jealous woman, really so scary sometimes," He smiled at her then squeezed her pretty face. 

"Whatever! What belongs to me only belongs to me. I will make you celibate for how many months if I discover you made done awful things,"

"Okay, I will remember it!"

Tom arrived fifteen minutes after Dora went into surgery. He approached Kylie and asked her what was going on. Kylie explained that Dora had a cervical dislocation and a concussion and that she was with Ethan in the Operating Room. "She will be in the hospital for a while," she continued. "If you want to look at her chart, the nurses have it at the reception desk. Dora told them that they could release them to any of us, provided that we agree to return them as soon as possible."

It was another half hour before Dora was wheeled out of the Operating Room and into a private room. They had given her a laughing gla.s.s, so she was still asleep. It was an hour after that before she woke up. Seeing Ethan at her side, she said, "I want to get up. I have to use the washroom."

Ethan looked down at her. Frowning, he said, "At the moment, that is impossible. Perhaps tomorrow; as for now, if you have to go, just go. You are wearing an adult diaper. It is super absorbent. You won't even notice that you've gone."

"There is no one else here," Ethan whispered. "I will keep your secret. Go in the diaper. No one will know. Please don't try to hold it. If you do, you could be seriously injured. You could even die."

By the time everyone had come into the room to visit Dora, she had urinated in her diaper, and it was as Ethan had said, not uncomfortable at all. Once they were all in, Ethan looked at Tom and said, "When you were on my doorstep, why didn't you tell me that Dora had been stabbed? Don't you know that if I'd know, I would have come faster?"

Tom's face turned white. "I… I… guess it didn't seem important at the moment."   

Ethan scowled and said, "You are lucky that the nurse bound her wounds. If they hadn't, she would have died, and it would have been your fault!"

Tom: "…"

"You make me want to puke," Ethan hissed. "I am going to get a breath of fresh air before I do something that I might regret."
