Chapter 478 A Headache


    Leon and Vicente turned their heads mechanically toward each other and exchanged nces.


    ''What did she just say?''


    ''Did she just say that Noah was her husband?''


    ''Who was John then?''


    ''I have no idea.''


    ''What''s wrong with her?''


    ''I don''t know either.''


    Leon felt his scalp start tingling. Did giving birth somehow messed up Nina''s memories?


    If John had heard what she said just now, he would go mad.


    Still stunned, Leon could not utter another word.


    "Nina, what did you just call Noah?" asked Vicente tentatively as she flew past the shock.


    Thinking that the two were acting strangely, Nina knitted her brows. "Noah is my husband. Don''t you


    know that?"


    This time, both Leon and Vicente could not stand it anymore.


    Surprise and panic shed through their eyes. For a moment, they did not know what to do.


    They had never encountered such a situation.


    Nina still remembered them, but she had John and Noah mixed up somehow. This was


    unbelievable.


    Leon took two deep breaths and started pacing back and forth in front of his sister.


    Vicente swallowed and thanked all the gods that John and Noah were not in the room.


    Otherwise, the two men would have fought.


    "What''s wrong?" Nina asked.


    "Nothing," Vicente answered quickly and then took out her phone. She had to confirm something.

    "Do you recognize this man?" Vicente showed Nina a photo of John. "Who is he to you?"


    Leon nervously watched the scene unfold before him. He was so anxious that his palms began


    sweating.


    John''s handsome face came into Nina''s view. His angr features were like a godly masterpiece,


    and his dark eyes were colder than the winter breeze.


    Nina''s formerly gentle expression twisted into an agonized snarl. She pounded her chest with her


    fist, her face turning deathly pale. She felt like a huge boulder was slowly but steadily pressing on


    her heart.


    Then, a splitting headache almost blinded her on the spot.


    "Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!" Nina screamed. Every nerve in her brain seemed to snap and throb all at


    once, sending a wave of debilitating pain all over her body.


    She held onto the sides of her head as if keeping them from popping clean of her shoulders.


    "It hurts! Leon, please make it stop!" Nina let out a broken scream, and beads of sweat started


    gathering on her forehead.


    She pped away Vicente''s phone and then held her head tightly with both hands.


    Nina''s sudden reaction to John''s photo caught Leon and Vicente off guard. His sister''s wail broke


    Leon''s heart, so he immediately rushed over to her and hugged her tightly.


    "Nina, I''m here. I''m here." Leon turned to Vicente nervously. "Go get the doctor! Now!"


    Vicente nodded and ran out.


    As soon as she arrived at the door, she bumped into John and Noah who hurried over when they


    heard Nina scream.


    Fortunately, there were no other patients on this floor. Otherwise, they would have been awakened


    by themotion.


    "What''s wrong? Is Nina okay?"


    "What happened?"


    When John and Noah were about to rush in, they heard Leon scream, "Don''t let him in!"


    Leon thought, ''If she sees John in person, the pain will surely kill her.''


    Leon held Nina in his arms and pressed her head against his chest to prevent her from moving.


    Nina tightly grasped his waist, her fingernails digging into his flesh like sharp des.


    Leon gritted his teeth and endured the pain.


    "John, you can''te in!" Vicente stretched out her hand to stop John, who was 1.9 meters in


    height, and pushed him out with all her strength. "Let''s go get the doctor."


    John did not know what was happening exactly. All he knew was that something about Nina''s cry


    registered to him as mercilessly painful. He had to see her. He had to make sure that she was okay.


    He pushed Vicente out of the way, and she could not stop him.


    "Damn it! I told you not toe in! Noah, help me. Don''t let him in, or Nina will suffer." Vicente


    immediately turned to Noah, who was standing beside her, for help.


    Afraid that something bad might happen to Nina, Noah grabbed John, pulled him out, and shut the


    door.


    "Noah, call the doctor on duty. Nina has a terrible headache now."


    "Okay." Noah let go of John and went to find the doctor.


    At the moment, John''s eyes had turned red. Through the ss pane on the door, he could see Nina


    sitting up on the bed. She had finally stopped struggling. She was curled up in Leon''s arms, looking


    extremely frightened.


    "What happened?" Atst, John stayed where he was, no longer insisting to see Nina.


    Sweating and resting her hands on her hips, Vicente answered, "I don''t know what happened


    exactly, but..."


    She trailed off, unsure how to proceed.


    She looked up at John whose face was full of tension and uneasiness. Suddenly, she had no idea


    what to say to him.


    John carefully watched Nina through the ss. He could see that Leon was talking to her while she


    was bundled up in his arms.


    Nina''s bed was too far away from the door, so John could not hear what Leon was saying.


    Vicente did not continue, so John said impatiently, "But what?"


    "Are you sure you want me to tell you?" Vicente was worried that John would not be able to stand


    the blow.


    "Just say it." John''s voice became cold.


    He was running out of patience.


    Vicente gritted her teeth and answered, "Nina doesn''t remember you anymore."


    Boom!


    Vicente''s words were like a bomb to John''s ears. They went off so suddenly that he did not even


    have the chance to duck for cover.


    With his eyes wide open, John turned to look at Vicente, trying to find a hint of a joke on her face.


    He thought, ''Anyone who makes such a joke deserves to die!''


    He clenched his fists so tightly that blue veins started popping out on the backs of his hands.


    But Vicente had a serious expression. John gritted his teeth and asked what Vicente meant.


    "When Nina woke up, she asked about her husband. Leon and I thought she was looking for you,


    but then she said she was looking for..." After a pause, Vicente continued, "Noah."


    John''s eyes started to look like two bottomless abysses. His knuckles popped as he balled his fists.


    John signaled to Vicente to go on. If she dared to talk nonsense, he would bash her face in.


    This time, Vicente was not afraid anymore because she was telling the truth.


    "I tested her to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her memories. I showed her your


    photo and asked her if she recognized you. As soon as she saw your picture, she screamed and


    comined of a splitting headache. That''s why Leon didn''t let you in."


    Hearing this, John stood still. Not even his facial muscles twitched.


    Only his fists balled up tighter and tighter.


    His shadow reflected on the white wall, shrouded in dead silence.


    "John, are you okay?" Vicente could not help asking.


    Anyone who put themselves in John''s shoes would be heartbroken right now.


    Boom!


    Without saying anything, John punched the white wall. Fresh red blood flowed down the wall,


    streaking his shadow with dark red lines.


    The sound of the impact echoed through the quiet corridor.


    "It finally happened." Keeping his bloody knuckles on the wall, John spoke with trembling lips. His


    voice came out a little broken as if he was stifling his sobs.


    What he had been worried about finally happened.
