Chapter 4

The soul reacted faster than I did:

"As long as my brain can retain the soul's memories, I definitely won't marry you!"

After saying this, he paused again:

"But speaking of which... when I wake up, will I retain these memories? What if I forget everything?"

"Can the soul's consciousness perfectly merge with the body's consciousness? I didn't even consider this..."

"Oh no, what if I forget and really think Shanna was the one taking care of me? What do I do then?"

I rubbed my cheek, equally anxious.

Who Ethan married didn't really matter.

The key issue was—if Shanna stole my credit, wouldn't my two hundred million go down the drain?

The soul quickly slapped his forehead:

"I almost forgot about my mom. My mom has seen Shanna's true nature. She won't let me marry Shanna again."

"Right, right. As long as my mom's around, she can prove that Rose was the one taking care of me all along."

But unexpectedly.

Shanna refused to give up and immediately went to find Mrs. Ford.

She brazenly declared:

"You know Ethan's personality. Once he's set on me, he'll definitely marry me."

"When he wakes up, you can't force him to marry a woman he doesn't even know, right?"

"He survived this disaster. As his mother, you should fully support him, not interfere in his marriage!"

Mrs. Ford was actually swayed by this argument.

She consulted with me awkwardly:

"Ethan doesn't know who took care of him anyway."

"I'll just say it was Shanna. They were in love to begin with, so it'll be natural for them to get married and everyone will be happy."

"I'll give you generous compensation. As long as you don't say anything, no one will know you were the one who took care of Ethan."

Seeing me nod compliantly.

The soul kept whispering in my ear:

"Rose, can you have some backbone? Why are you handing over your credit to someone else?"

I wanted to.

But I had been submissive my whole life.

With no background, no connections, no confidence—what could I fight with?

The soul was frustrated:

"Forget it, I can't count on anyone. I better work hard and try to retain these memories myself!"

After Shanna convinced Mrs. Ford.

To be extra safe, she released news to the media early:

"Under my devoted care, Ethan is finally about to wake up!"

"We'll soon get our marriage license and have our wedding. I'll officially become Mrs. Ford very soon. Thank you all for your blessings."

Everyone outside believed.

It was Shanna's devoted companionship that created a miracle for Ethan.

As more and more experts intervened, plus Ethan's own strong will.

In less than six months, Ethan's indicators showed.

His brain had completely recovered and he could wake up at any moment.

And the soul was increasingly reluctant to part with me:

"Rose, I hope I can remember everything from this time when I wake up."

"God bless, I don't want to forget all the good things you've done for me, and I definitely don't want to mistake Shanna for my benefactor."

I hoped for the same.

But this was all beyond my control.

This day when I woke up.

I didn't see the soul.

I immediately realized:

Ethan was about to wake up!

I immediately called Mrs. Ford and the experts.

Shanna also rushed over with the media.

Under countless expectant gazes.

The experts performed pre-awakening medical procedures.

With a beep.

The vegetative Ethan actually slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to disturb him easily.

Ethan lifted his finger slightly, then swallowed with difficulty.

He squinted at the ceiling, seemingly trying hard to remember something.

At this moment.

I could only pray that Ethan still retained the soul's memories and clearly remembered who had been taking care of him.

But if he had forgotten...

Then I had not only wasted half a year of effort but also handed everything over to Shanna on a silver platter.

Shanna couldn't hold back and anxiously rushed to the bedside:

"Ethan, you're finally awake! I'm Shanna, the one you love most!"

"For the past six months, I've been carefully taking care of you, waiting on you hand and foot, never leaving your side."

"You must know, you must remember, right?"

Seeing Ethan's confused expression.

My heart sank.

Could it be... he really forgot everything?

My parents whispered mockingly in my ear:

"Stop dreaming. Mrs. Ford already said, as long as Ethan doesn't remember, Shanna will be the one who took care of him."

"Get lost now. Don't ruin Shanna's moment."

Seeing Ethan staring deeply at Shanna.

Disappointment filled my chest.

I hung my head in dejection, about to leave.

The next second, Ethan suddenly spoke, asking coldly:

"It was really you taking care of me?"
