Chapter 1344
Two hours later, Rosa woke up from her nap after her surgery.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a caretaker beside her. Just as she was getting anxious and about to ask where Joe was, he walked in.
Perhaps due to the surgery, she felt incredibly weak and insecure. So, she desperately hoped Joe would stay by her side.
"Ned..."
"You just had surgery, and your body is still very weak. Rest first. We'll talk once you've fully recovered," Joe said while looking at her.
Rosa shook her head. "No, I want to look at you. I want you to stay with me."
At this point, the caretaker was done with her job and left the room.
Joe came over and sat across from her bed. It was only then that Rosa felt she had some strength and a sense of stability. It was as if all her worries faded away when Joe was there.
Joe gave her a short nod. "Your surgery was very successful. So, you'll be discharged in a few days."
It wasn't surprising that the surgery was successful. After all, they hired a reputable doctor. Rosa trusted him and hadn't expected any complications. Besides, it was just a minor procedure.
"Will you be busy with work in the next few days? Can you come to see me when you have time? I'll be bored being alone in the hospital. And you know I don't really have friends besides you," Rosa said, looking at Joe expectantly.
It was true that she didn't have many friends.
In the past two years, as Joe started his company and quickly became successful, she found herself
drifting from her old friends, feeling a gap between them. She also felt a little superior to her friends.
She was also afraid that the media would find out that her friends were all people with ordinary jobs. She didn't want to be ridiculed by the media.
That was why she cut ties with them
eventually. She was afraid they

might come to her for help or money, which she wanted to avoid.
She even felt her friends envied her.

There was also another bigger reason for leaving her friends. She was afraid her old friends would interact with Joe and pick up on things that didn't add up.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
At the same time, she couldn't fit into the circle of the wealthy, leaving her in an awkward position. So, she had no close or trustworthy friends anymore.
She had even avoided contacting the orphanage. She knew that Joe wouldn't notice the absence of those past connections due to his memory loss. This made her incredibly lonely, and she even envied Skylar, who had strong social connections.

few days. If anything comes up, you can reach out to Calvin. He'll help you with whatever you need, Joe replied in a steady voice.
Rosa's eyes reddened immediately. "Ned, it has always been just you in my world, and it will only ever be you."
"It's time for you to start adapting to life without me," Joe suddenly said, changing his tone.
Rosa's heart skipped a beat. "Ned, what do you mean by that?"
Adapting to life without him? Did he regain his memories? How could that be possible?
