Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 105

"Doctor! Doctor! He's awake!" Susie yelled as she ran out of the ward excitedly.

Just as he had expected, she was a very cute girl. Edward thought with a frown as he watched her, "Where am I? Why am I here? What is my name?"

After the doctor arrived, he checked on Edward and said, "There doesn't seem to be a problem. You can be discharged after a short while."

After the doctor left, Susie looked at the handsome man in front of her. He had an overbearing aura now that he was awake, and she didn't dare to meet his gaze.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am? Why am I here?" Edward asked.

"Eh? Don't you remember anything?" Susie asked. It seemed like he had really lost his memory.

"My name is Susie Nilson. Keani and I found you washed up on the beach. The doctor said that you bruised your head and suffered a stab wound in the chest. He said you might lose your memory upon waking up," Susie said.

"Su... Susie?" Edward mumbled. He tried to recall if he had met a Susie before. It sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Susie liked it when he called her name. He had a really pleasant voice. It sounded like he was her lover as he whispered her name.

"Do I know you? You seem familiar," Edward said as he stared at Susie.

"I-I don't know you," Susie said shyly.

"Both of you have saved me. Thank you. May I know who is Keani?" Edward asked with a smile.

"That's Keani!" Susie said as she pointed at the dog who was spinning in circles as it chased his tail.

Keani barked a few times when it heard its name, "Woof woof woof woof!"

"Keani was the one who found you and led me to you. Then I brought you to the hospital."

"So this is Keani. I thought it was a person," Edward said as he laughed. He reached out to Keani and stroked its soft fur, saying, "Thank you, Keani."

Edward didn't seem too bothered by his memory loss. He had a kind temperament and he resembled an angel. Nobody could look away from him.

He was a natural leader, and people were willing to follow his footsteps.

"By the way, I couldn't find any information on you. This is the only thing I found," Susie said as she retrieved the diamond ring from her bag.

"You were holding onto it so tightly, and it took a lot of effort for me to pry it from your hand," Susie said. Edward had a hunch that this ring was very important to him when he saw it. He wouldn't have held onto it so tightly if it wasn't.

The ring looked expensive, but Susie didn't covet it. She didn't steal even though Edward would never find out.

Edward looked into her bright and clear eyes and thought she was a virtuous person. He had a good impression of her.

"Thank you," Edward said sincerely.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Susie was embarrassed and lowered her head when she saw the way Edward was staring at her. She thought, "God, why are you looking at me like this? I'm so embarrassed!"

"Oh yeah, you mentioned I was stabbed?" Edward asked.

"That's right. The doctor said it was fortunate that your vitals weren't injured," Susie replied.

"Who am I? Why was I stabbed and thrown into the water? Why do I have this ring?" Edward thought with a frown as he looked at the ring.

Susie didn't tell him about the clothes he was wearing when she rescued him. Back then, she was only focused on saving his life. Moreover, his clothes had been soaked in salt water for a long time. Susie didn't know that this was his wedding suit, and she wasn't paying too much attention at that time.

"Don't worry too much. I'm sure you'll remember it soon if it's an important memory," Susie said in comfort.

"Yeah, thanks," Edward said.

"Have you decided where you want to go after you've been discharged?" Susie asked in worry.

Edward was taken aback for a moment and didn't know what to do. He didn't have money on him right now, and he had forgotten his identity. He had also been stabbed by someone. Were people out to attack him for revenge?

"If you don't have a place to go, why don't you stay at my house for now?" Susie offered warmly.

She didn't think he was a bad person. Moreover, she was the one who found him on the beach, so she should take responsibility.

"Okay, thank you so much," Edward said. He felt a sense of familiarity with Susie, but he didn't know why. After all, she told him she didn't know him.

Moreover, he heard her voice constantly while he was in a coma. She was the one who had saved him, and she was the first person he met after he woke up. He had a very good impression of her.

"What? I can't believe that you agreed so easily. Aren't you afraid that I might be a bad person?" Susie asked. She didn't expect his straightforward answer.

"You? There's no way you could be evil. After all, a kind and lovely person like you isn't suited to be a villain," Edward said. He looked at Susie's petite figure with a smile.

"You underestimate me," Susie said quietly.

"What's your name? I can't keep calling you 'you'," Susie asked. She had forgotten that he had lost his memory and couldn't remember his name.

"Oh, right! I forgot that you lost your memory. How about this? I'll give you a temporary name!" Susie said excitedly. She used to name her dolls when she was a child. This was her chance to give an actual human a name!

"Okay," Edward agreed. It was a temporary name and he wanted to make her happy.

Susie looked around with her shiny dark eyes as she thought. Suddenly, she got an idea and said excitedly, "I thought of it! Liam! I'll call you Liam Nilson, okay?"

"The sky was as blue as the sea when I found you, and this is an island. How is it? Doesn't it sound good?" Susie asked, waiting for his praise.

"Yes, Liam sounds good," Edward replied when he looked into  Susie's expectant eyes.

Edward, or rather, he was Liam from now onwards. Susie was very happy to be praised.

...

The Wilson Company.

Claudia also went home after they got rid of Eric and Cameron.

Irene looked at the shareholders in front of her. Even though Eric and Cameron had been driven away, the remaining group of shareholders wasn't easy to deal with.

"Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Wilson is not here now. How will you manage the company?" asked one of the shareholders.

The shareholders whispered amongst themselves. She was a woman—what was she capable of? Wouldn't it be bad if the company fell into her hands? It would be better for them to take charge of it.

"She is so short-sighted! After all, both Eric and Cameron were once part of the company too! Besides, they were her relatives. How could she chase them away like that? What about the company? Can she manage on her own?" thought some of the shareholders.

These shareholders would rather support Eric and Cameron instead of Irene!

The selfish shareholders were only concerned about their own interests. They completely forgot what had happened in the past.

"Mrs. Wilson, I'm afraid that you don't have the necessary experience needed to manage the company. How can we be sure that the company will prosper under your command? After all, this is a large corporation."

Some of the shareholders had malicious intentions and weren't afraid of Irene now that Eric and Cameron were gone. They wanted to come up with a reason to force Irene to leave company matters to them.

"Mrs. Wilson, I think you should stay at home. Just leave the decision-making to us and we will take care of it. You can rest assured. Until Mr. Wilson returns, we will make sure to take good care of the company," said a shareholder who was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Many shareholders nodded and praised him as soon as he spoke.

However, some of the shareholders were loyal to Edward and were genuinely concerned about the welfare of the company. They remained silent.

Irene looked at them helplessly, but she knew that she couldn't falter at such a crucial moment. If she didn't assert her dominance here, they would surely push her into a corner.

"Everyone! I know I have yet to earn your trust, but I will prove myself to you! Please wait and observe! Until we find Mr. Wilson, I will manage the company in his stead as his wife. Moreover, I'm holding a big portion of the company's shares."

"Feel free to read the document that Mr. Wilson has left for me. Please come forwards if you have any disagreements about matters," Irene said. Her words were reasonable and rather convincing.

"Despite that, Mrs. Wilson, if the company doesn't perform well in your hands, I will no longer be a shareholder. I will choose to leave this company," said some of the disagreeable shareholders. They were trying to threaten Irene.

"We will leave small matters to the delegated staff. However, I will handle large decisions. I believe there won't be any problems. After all, the company hasn't hired its employees for no reason. Things are exactly the same as when Mr. Wilson was around."

"I don't think it's a big deal if we remove one or two people from the company. After all, there are many who are willing to replace you. Isn't that right?" Irene asked calmly.

He decided to remain silent. Irene had effectively threatened his position at the company. Wouldn't he be tempting fate if he continued? It would be in his best interests to observe for now.

Some of the shareholders felt rather satisfied. If Irene was a pushover who gave in to pressure so easily, the future of the company may be in jeopardy if it was left to her. On the contrary, her defiant nature managed to win their favour.

Some of the shareholders held a sincere interest in the company's future. After all, they would prosper only if the company prospered first.
