Chapter 2

This was insane!

I was clearly on my way to graduation when I accidentally got hit by a car.

How did I wake up to being accused of "resorting to extreme measures" to force a divorce from Chloe?

A conviction settled deep in my gut: either I'd gone crazy, or Chloe had.

"Chloe, wait a second!"

Before I could finish, a little girl suddenly appeared in the room, running excitedly into Chloe's arms.

Me: ???

Wow, what an adorable kid! I reached out my uninjured hand, wanting to gently touch her cheek, but she shyly hid deeper into Chloe's embrace.

"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. Uncle just thought you were so cute, I couldn't help myself."

Chloe shot me a disapproving look. That's when I remembered I'd called her back but hadn't gotten to the point.

"Chloe, I know this might sound unbelievable, but I have absolutely no memory of anything you're talking about. I only remember being on my way to graduation…"

Before I could finish, Chloe impatiently cut me off.

"So, you're trying to say you have amnesia now?"

Amnesia?

Yes, that's it! Amnesia. Only amnesia could explain why I had no recollection of any of this.

I nodded vigorously and earnestly.

Chloe's face remained stone-cold. She pulled a document from her bag and tossed it onto the bed in front of me.

"This is the divorce agreement. All the terms are written according to your demands. If you have no objections, just sign it as soon as possible."

I opened my mouth but couldn't manage to say a single word.

The little girl in Chloe's arms, however, pouted sadly when she heard Chloe's words.

"Chloe, talking about this in front of a child… it's not really good for her emotional well-being, is it?"

"How about we put this on hold for a while?"

Chloe let out a cold snort.

"Someone else's child? Liam, this amnesia act is quite convincing, but this is our daughter."

…

"And when you were having dinner with other women, did you ever consider whether that was good for our child's emotional well-being?"

I hadn't even processed Chloe's first bombshell when her second statement completely fried my brain. I stared at the little girl, utterly dumbfounded.

So, not only was I married, but I had a kid too?

The little girl, however, completely ignored me, burying her head in Chloe's neck and not even sparing me a glance.

The information overload was too much. My brain completely crashed.
