Mr Collins's request

Sarah stretched her stiff body as she walked towards her room. Today was really very tiring for her, apart from being emotionally drained from meeting her ex-husband, she helped with the surgery in the emergency room because today she didn't have an operation scheduled.

As a result, it was still 3 pm, but she was tired and wanted to go home.

"Mr Collins?" Sarah's eyes widened when she saw the old man who was standing leaning against the door of her room. She hurriedly approached the old man.

"Mr Collins? Why are you here? Can I help you?" asked Sarah curiously.

She had already explained everything that had happened to Michael, was there anything else he wanted to ask?

"Sarah… ah, Doctor Sarah," corrected Mr. Collins with a smile. "Are you busy? Can we talk for a bit?" he continued.

"You can call me Sarah," Sarah replied with a smile.

Sarah then looked at the watch she was using, at least she had 10-15 minutes that she could use to rest for a while.

"Okay. Shall we talk in the cafeteria? I'd like to bite some food," Sarah asked.

"Sure," replied Mr Collins.

Soon, Mr. Collins and Sarah had taken their seats at one of the hospital cafeteria tables, and Sarah immediately excused herself to order her food.

"This is Mr Collins, black coffee, no sugar," Sarah said, handing the old man the cup of coffee she ordered while she ordered ice tea and a sandwich.

"Ah… you don't have to bother," said Mr Collins, but his face was smiling. Black coffee without sugar is his favorite drink, Sarah seems to still remember it.

Sarah just smiled when she saw the old man's expression.

"So what do you want to talk about? By the way, I'm eating, okay?" Sarah said then took her sandwich and started eating it.

"Yes, please. That… I want to ask for a favor."

Sarah raised her eyebrows when she heard that.

"Favor? What is it? If I can do it, I will," replied Sarah with a smile.

"That…" Mr Collins looked a little hesitant, "Can you pretend to be Michael's wife again?"

"Cough cough"

Sarah immediately choked on hearing that, she hurriedly took her tea and drank it.

"What?!" asked Sarah in surprise.

"Like you said, we can't force memories that Michael didn't remember and he still remembers that you're still his wife," explained Mr Collins.

Sarah nodded slowly, she did say that, but that doesn't mean she wants to be that bastard's wife again, even if it's just pretend!

"You also said that there is no medicine that can help restore his memory, but you do know how to deal with an amnesiac patient to restore his memory, right? So you can help him when you two live together again," continued Mr Collins.

Sarah nodded her head again, she did say that.

"Sorry Mr Collins, I can't seem to help you," Sarah replied firmly.

Michael and she had ended three years ago, and Sarah had absolutely no intention of dealing with her ex-husband again.

"Ah! Have you remarried?" asked Mr Collins carefully. He had asked for it, but had forgotten to ask if Sarah had remarried or not.

"No, I'm still single. But I will still refuse," said Sarah firmly.

After the divorce, Sarah focused her life on her career and never got into a romantic relationship, or thought about remarrying. Although some men had chased after her.

"I'm begging you, Sarah. It's my fault that Michael got into an accident like this," said Mr Collins quietly. His face looks sad.

Sarah raised an eyebrow, but she just kept quiet.

"Actually… I have a brain tumor, but I kept it a secret from my family because I didn't want to worry them."

Sarah's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly when she heard that.

Mr. Collins just smiled faintly when he saw Sarah's reaction.

"Because I didn't want to do the treatment and kept ignoring the calls from my doctor, he ended up calling the company, thinking that I was still CEO of the company, but Michael had taken my place, and he finally found out and went straight to me to ask about it."

"We had a bit of a fight before he finally left, I think it was because of that until he ended up in an accident."

Sarah fell silent when she heard this, she looked at Mr Collins who now looked older than she had last remembered.

Unlike Mrs. Collins who was always mean to her, Mr. Collins was always kind to her.

Sarah is very grateful to her ex father-in-law who has made her feel what it feels like to be a father's love.

And now the person she had considered like her own father, had a brain tumor?

"You have to do the surgery, it's still curable" said Sarah, who unconsciously started to tear up.

Mr Collins shook his head slowly.

"The risk is high. I want to spend the rest of my time well, rather than dying in the operating room," said Mr Collins.

"Is the tumor in a difficult place? Ah, no, let's do a scan. I'll see for myself," Sarah said and was ready to stand up from her place.

"Sarah," said Mr Collins softly, touching her hand.

Making Sarah sit back in her chair

"I know I'm being selfish right now, but can you grant my request? I'm afraid Michael's memory won't come back and he has to know my situation once again, he also has to lead the company," he said while looking at Sarah gently.

"I really don't know what happened between you and Michael, but I really regret that you guys have to divorce. I even scolded him for letting you go. You know I really love you," said Mr Collins sincerely.

Hearing this, the tears that Sarah had been trying to hold back finally came out.

She knew that Mr Collins had truly loved her, like a father to his daughter, and the only thing Sarah regretted when she divorced was that she could no longer feel the fatherly love she had from Mr Collins.

When Mrs. Collins always told her to come over to their house to make breakfast and clean up, even though Sarah had to go to work at that time, Mr. Collins always defended her and told her to go to work immediately, even thanks to Mr. Collins, Sarah didn't have to do that troublesome task anymore.

"I beg of you, Sarah. Consider this my last request. Please help Michael restore his memory by pretending to be his wife again," begged Mr Collins.

Hearing the word of last request, made Sarah cry even more.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with that bastard ex-husband again, but on the other hand, she couldn't ignore a request from the person she was so grateful for and was like her own father.

What should Sarah do?
