Becoming Secret Nanny for Possessive CEO-Chapter 49: I Remember

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: I Remember
Remembering that beautiful moment in her dream world, tears flowed down her cheeks without realizing it, causing her to wake up momentarily. Her gaze immediately fell on her lover, who was still sleeping soundly. Her right hand slowly touched her soft cheek, her heart aching even more as she thought about how she had been so selfless in front of her lover, who had always cared for her without getting bored. If only she had realized this earlier, she wouldn’t have to feel regret.
"Callum... I’m sorry. I didn’t keep my promise. All I’ve ever done is hate you. But I actually promised you that I would never forget you, even if I had amnesia."
For a moment she wanted to wipe her wet cheeks, but her cheeks were immediately wiped by her lover, making her flinch.
"Don’t cry, Edith."
"Callum, have you been awake for a while?"
Callum slowly opened his eyes, his right hand stroking his lover’s soft cheek. "Actually, I woke up a while ago because I heard you crying."
"Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you."
His strong arms embraced his lover’s slender body, patting her back rhythmically. "Why are you crying? From what I hear, it doesn’t sound like a nightmare."
"Actually, my memory is coming back. But it’s not a nightmare. I’m remembering a sweet moment we shared a long time ago." Edith took a moment to suck in the mucus that was almost flowing from her nose while controlling her increasingly gasping breath.
"Edith, if you can’t tell the story, don’t force yourself."
"I made a promise to you when we celebrated our first anniversary. I promised you that the first person I would remember when I had amnesia would be you. But I haven’t remembered anything for five years. All I’ve done is keep blaming you for not looking for me." Her head hung in resignation. "I’m sorry, Callum."
"This isn’t your fault. Besides, it’s impossible for someone with amnesia to remember everything instantly." A heavy sigh escaped his lips. "Even though I had to wait five years for you, I never hated you for a second. I purposely didn’t look for you because there were certain circumstances that we weren’t allowed to do. In fact, I even had amnesia due to an accident."
Edith raised her head slowly. "Have you ever had amnesia? Why didn’t you ever tell me?"
"Actually, I wanted to tell you at the right time. Especially since you still hate me, I was afraid it would look like I was forcing you to remember it."
"No way. I need to hear your story. Especially since I remember the accident."
Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. "Why didn’t you ever tell me something this important?"
"Because I’m scared when I remember that incident. You were seriously injured at the time, and you protected Erdin. Ever since I remembered that terrible incident, I’ve been less willing to blame you."
"But because I was seriously injured at the time, I suffered from amnesia. Then, I finally remembered you when I saw Erdin’s face, which looked so much like yours, and I still have all our photos. Since then, I’ve been looking for you everywhere."
Her head lowered even further, her right hand groping for the diamond necklace still around her neck. She felt even more guilty because she had always blamed Callum for never looking for her. Even though Callum had intended to look for her, too.
"So you’ve been looking for me all this time. How stupid of me not to realize it."
"Actually, when my memories fully returned, I continued searching for you in various cities and abroad. But I had difficulty finding you, until finally I heard news that you were hidden in a remote hospital in a small town."
"But, why didn’t you come to me at that time?"
"When I heard the news, I immediately went to the hospital. But I was too late. When I got there, they said you had already gone home, and someone was coming to pick you up."
Hearing her lover’s story made her heart even more fragile. She couldn’t believe he would actually go this far; previously, she could only curse him relentlessly.
"Actually, I hadn’t given up looking for you. But when I heard your name was becoming more and more popular, I wanted to come to you in person."
"But, why don’t you do it?"
"Because I was worried you’d hate me if I came to you suddenly. You’d blame me for causing all this mess."
Edith shook her head quickly, her arms tightening around her lover. "I won’t blame you. In fact, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I know our accident wasn’t your fault."
"Actually, when I first saw you treating me like a stranger, I was really shocked. Especially since you treated me so coldly. At first, I wondered if I should just let you go. Maybe you’ll find a better man than me."
"No way. I don’t want to marry another man."
"Edith..."
"Instead, I’ll try to remember the beautiful moments I created before the accident. I also don’t like hanging out with Cliff, especially after finding out he was having an affair with Arabella. Luckily, I haven’t been stupid all this time."
"Thank goodness. I thought you would still let yourself fall into Cliff’s trap."
"Of course, from now on I want to solve all the mysteries we have experienced so far."
"No way. This time I won’t let you get into danger again. You’ve suffered for the past five years. Now it’s time for me to protect you."
Edith shook her head quickly. "It’s okay. I’ll be the one protecting you now."
"But, if something happens to you again? Don’t you think I’ll be hurt again seeing you suffer?"
"And you don’t even think about me? I couldn’t bear to let you face everything alone for five years."
Callum snapped his fingers for a moment. "Anyway, instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, how about we just have some fun tomorrow? I’m still not done playing with you."
Edith laughed sweetly, kissing her lover’s cheek for a few seconds. "Okay. Actually, I’ve been a bit tired lately from overworking myself."
’I rather don’t want to open up your past wounds, Edith.’
