Hidden Desires - Family Secrets-Chapter 252 I won’t eat anything

"Screech..." I slammed on the brakes suddenly, the tires screeching against the pavement in a piercing protest.

I had been too focused on the rearview mirror, coupled with my frazzled state of mind, I had neglected the road ahead.

Just as I approached a sharp bend, below which lay a steep hillside, it was too late to turn.

My only option was to stomp on the brakes—not out of fear, but pure instinct.

But it was to no avail.

The car careened off the road, launching into the air.

Strapped in by the seatbelt, as the car left the road, a strange calm washed over me for a brief moment.

"Is this how I die? Not so bad," I thought.

"Death will rid me of all these troubles."

In the afterlife, I’d drink several bowls of 【Meng Po soup】, ensuring I forgot everything, preventing any recollection across countless reincarnations.

"Crash..." A massive noise erupted next to my ear as the front of the car plummeted into the ravine.

The van’s windows shattered instantly, shards of glass pelting my face with agonizing pain.

My head slammed against the roof, blood starting to trickle from my nose and mouth.

"Goodbye, all my friends! Goodbye, all my colleagues! If there’s another life, let’s be friends and colleagues again."

"Goodbye, Betty! Goodbye, Michael! If there’s another life, may we never meet again."

Blood spurted from my mouth as I spoke in a hoarse voice.

My eyes closed, the last image faded, and my consciousness slipped away...

My eyes snapped open, returning from the flashback to reality.

I found myself in a luxurious room, all memories flooding back.

My mind was foggy then, but judging by the age of the children, it was now three years later.

I had been in a coma for three whole years.

After the accident, I had lost all memory, but now it all returned.

The weight of the realization was crushing.

To think that it had been three years, and it was Luna who had saved me.

Were the cars that followed me that day under Luna’s command?

Perhaps her people had always been around me, and I had just never noticed.

Maybe everything I did was under Luna’s surveillance.

Only Luna’s people could have rescued me the moment I fell off the cliff.

"Honey, you’re awake..." Before I could sort through all the memories, I heard a woman’s excited voice.

It was Luna.

She had just entered the room, but I hadn’t noticed her as I stared at the ceiling.

"Honey, are you alright? Do you feel uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor right now..." Luna wiped my hands with a handkerchief, then excitedly reached for her phone to call a doctor.

"Wait a moment..." I stopped Luna, who looked at me puzzled, still holding her phone.

I looked at Luna, my feelings complex.

There was also Kevin, because the paternity test confirmed he was indeed my son, born from that one night I had been with Luna, and she had told me she would give me a gift.

Now I finally understood what that gift was—my son Kevin.

"Luna... tell me, what happened after my accident?" I didn’t use Luna’s full name, as I wasn’t sure how to address her now.

Just saying ’Luna’ was enough; she was smart and would understand that I had regained my memory.

At this moment, what concerned me most was what had happened over these three years, why Luna was by my side, what had happened to Betty, and how Michael was doing.

I pondered countless possibilities, deeply concerned.

The room fell into a tense silence under Luna’s unsettled expression...

"Honey, didn’t we agree? I’ll tell you a bit each day to help you adjust."

"You just woke up. Let’s wait until you’re a bit stronger, okay?" Luna’s quick recovery was no surprise; she was a titan in the business world.

Even though she guessed I was onto something, she continued to play it cool, her expression as calm as ever.

"I remember everything now. Where are Betty and Michael? What exactly happened after I lost consciousness?" I propped myself up against the headboard, my gaze fixed intently on Luna.

My need to know was overwhelming.

Having miraculously survived, and considering the accident happened near my hometown in the mountains, Betty and Michael wouldn’t have found me.

If Luna hadn’t informed them, they wouldn’t even know if I was alive or dead.

What’s their status now? Are they still looking for me, or have they given up?

Are they... living together now? Is Betty pregnant? Did she have Michael’s child?

A torrent of questions and worries flooded my mind, making it impossible to relax.

If I had truly died, none of this would matter.

But I’m alive, and Luna’s unexpected presence has caught me off guard.

"Honey, what’s on your mind? Are you experiencing any aftereffects? You’ve been talking nonsense since you woke up, always fantasizing. You must be imagining things again. Who are Betty and Michael? I’ll call the doctor right away..." Luna’s eyes flickered with a subtle surprise upon hearing my words, but she didn’t panic.

She must have been prepared for the day I’d regain my memory, and she was still hiding something.

"Luna, stop patronizing me. I need to know what’s going on. Don’t hide things from me... You know my temperament. Don’t push me..." My worries were brewing, and I wasn’t listening to Luna.

I leaned forward, locking eyes with her, our noses almost touching.

"Let’s get a doctor to check you first, and we can talk about everything else later. That’s my final word..." Luna said, then walked out, phone in hand.

Luna was stubborn too.

She neither denied nor confirmed anything.

Despite my urgency, I had no choice but to temporarily let it go.

"Don’t administer any drugs, just run the tests..." I told the doctors when they arrived, fearing Luna might instruct them to sedate me or use other means to control my memory.

I knew she was capable of such tactics.

The doctors glanced at Luna, and she nodded at them.

After they completed all the tests on my head with their equipment, the doctors left the room, and Luna followed them out.

They discussed my condition behind my back.

"What would you like to eat?" Luna returned and changed the subject.
