His firm tone echoed, and when he reached out to pull her into his arms again, she avoided it.
Maia’s body tensed slightly. She didn’t speak, just shifted her body to the side, keeping a certain distance from him. “Perhaps what you said is true, but | won't believe it anymore.”
His expression changed. His deep eyes reddened for a moment, but in just that fleeting instant, he returned to his expressionless demeanor, as if nothing had happened.
Right at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Maia immediately sat up alertly.
“Mr. Cedric, Buck and Miss Hope are here,” came Baz’s voice from outside the door. Then, the door was opened. Hope rushed into the room.
Seeing Maia sitting on the bed, she called out, “Sis, how are you? Why is the back of your head wrapped in bandages? Is it serious? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? | heard from Mr. Baz that you’ve lost your memory? Do you remember me?”
“Hope.” Maia’s tone was calm, but her gaze at Hope was different from before. “Are we close?”
Hearing Maia’s words, Hope froze in the middle of grabbing her hand.
“Sis, you don’t remember anything from before?”
Maia shook her head. “I’ve forgotten a lot of things.”
“Ms. Maia, do you still remember me? I’m your assistant, Buck!”
Maia looked at Buck, her delicate brows furrowed, then shook her head. “My assistant? When did | have an assistant?” “Oh no, what’s going on? Ms. Maia doesn’t even recognize me!” Buck looked as if he was
about to cry.
Hope’s expression was also very unpleasant as if she was about to cry too.
“Her memory has reverted to two years ago.” Cedric’s voice sounded calm as he spoke, and he pulled Maia into his embrace. Maia grabbed his clothes in response; hiding behind him like an obedient child, completely different from her previous self. +15 BONUS
Buck gasped. “Is this still the same Ms. Maia | know? She used to be a formidable character that made people tremble. Now, she’s too obedient.... Was she this well-behaved before? Two years ago, that was before the divorce with Cedric... she relied on Cedric that much?”
Hope also wore an expression of disbelief, but she adjusted faster than Buck.
She said, “No matter how my sister changes, she’s still my sister. Even if she can’t remember, it’s okay as long as she’s safe. Nothing is more important.”
Having experienced a car accident, Hope had a profound understanding of this. Buck nodded in agreement. “Ms. Maia, what do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you now.”
Maia shook her head. “I just ate, and | don’t want anything.” She pointed to the lunch box on the coffee table.
Seeing Maia acting so tender, Buck still couldn't believe it, feeling a bit overwhelmed. “Ms. Maia, what about the shareholder meeting next month?”
“Shareholder meeting?” Maia looked puzzled. “When do | need to attend a meeting? Where am | working now?”
Hearing Maia’s words, Buck had an impulse to cry. “Ms. Maia, you’re the CEO of Starlight Entertainment! You're the formidable President Maia Burgess that all shareholders fear!”
“Huh?” Maia widened her eyes, finding it challenging to digest this information. She stared blankly at Buck. Cedric, observing Maia’s reaction, smiled. This act was truly convincing. “I'll accompany her to the meeting. You don’t have to worry,” he said coldly, once again. resuming his emotionless demeanor.
Buck looked at Cedric in shock. “Mr. Cedric, this is Starlight Entertainment's shareholder meeting. If you appear, those shareholders will definitely have objections... Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
“Whether it’s appropriate or not is not for them to decide.” Whenever Cedric wanted to intervene, who would dare to utter a word of disagreement?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Buck nodded, “Then the shareholder meeting will proceed as usual. Managing internal affairs. within the group might be a bit challenging for Ms. Maia in her current condition...”
“All internal matters of Starlight Entertainment will be temporarily handled by me.” Buck was intimidated by Cedric’s imposing aura, nodding in fear, “Yes.”
“Don't publicize it. | don’t want her memory loss to become a sensation. Understand?” Buck nodded. “Rest assured, Mr. Cedric.”

Cedric then shifted his cold gaze to Hope.
Hope immediately nodded, covering her mouth, and said, “I didn’t know anything.”
The hospital room door was knocked again. “Mr. Cedric, the video conference has started,” Baz’s voice called out. Cedric looked somewhat concerned at Maia.
Hope volunteered, “Mr. Cedric, you may go to the meeting! I'll stay with my sister, chat with her for a while, and leave when your meeting is over.”
Cedric lowered his head, looking at Maia in his arms, and spoke in an extremely gentle tone, Is that okay?”
Maia looked at him and nodded obediently. He smiled, unabashedly kissed her smooth forehead in front of everyone, then instructed, “Wait for me obediently, no running around.”
“Sure, I'll wait for you here. Come back quickly after the meeting, really, really quickly!”
He chuckled, and his indulgent tone echoed again, “Super quickly, okay?”
Mala nodded with a smiling face, “Even better!”
The smile on his lips deepened. After holding her hand for a moment, he let go and walked towards the door of the ward. Hope, Buck, and Baz were all stunned at the door.
Hope whispered, “What kind of fairy-tale love is this?”
Then, she turned to look at Buck, and they exchanged glances. Buck also wore a shocked expression. “W-Was that Mr. Cedric just now?”
Hope nodded at lightning speed as if pecking at grains like a little chicken. “Is Mr. Cedric always this gentle?” Buck scratched his head, completely dumbfounded.
After a long time, neither of them reacted. When Hope finally came to her senses, she exclaimed, “I’m jealous! I’m so jealous! My sister and brother—in—law's love is truly beautiful!
