Michael didn't see it wrong at all. Even though the man had his back to him, Michael was sure that the man was his father.

However, what was his father doing here? Wasn't the man on vacation?

Michael then quickly caught up with him and stopped right in front of him before he entered the elevator.

"Dad!" said Michael when he managed to see the man's face.

Mr. Collins had a look of shock on his face. He didn't expect that he could see Michael standing in front of him at this time. He was taking his afternoon walks because he was bored of being in his room alone. However, who would have thought that he would be caught by his son?

"Mi-Michael!" Mr. Collins's tone faltered with his eyes wide open.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you on vacation?" asked Michael with a furrowed brow. Right now he is really confused.

"That…"

"Wait a minute! Isn't this the clothes the patient wears?" asked Michael when he had just realized his father's current appearance. His eyes then fell on the bandage still wrapped around his father's head.

"You had the surgery alone?!" said Michael in a rising voice.

After he remembered it again, before his accident he went to see his father because he found out that his father had a brain tumor. He had forgotten about it because of the problem with Sarah, but he had no idea that his father was not going on vacation but had the operation alone.

Mr. Collins' eyes opened wide again when he heard Michael's question.

"How… How did you find out? Do you remember my illness?" asked Mr. Collins in disbelief.

Michael sighed when he heard that.

"Yeah, I remember it. My memory has recovered. I remember everything," Michael said, trying to sound a little calmer.

"But how can you have the operation alone, Dad? What did the doctor say? So all this time, you aren't going on vacation but are being treated here?" Michael asked repeatedly with a worried face.

During this time he was very close to his father and he was not at all ready to lose the person he respected so much. He hadn't even given his father a grandchild yet, something a man who was thinner than the last time he could remember had been waiting for.

"What about Sarah?" asked Mr. Collins suddenly.

If his son's memory has returned, then what about Sarah? Did his son let the woman go after he had gone to great lengths to persuade her to come back with his son?

Well… even though it was just pretend at first, it could be possible for love to grow back between the two of them and they can get back, right?

Michael's face immediately changed when he heard the question from his father.

"Don't mention that woman again in front of me. How could she take advantage of me having amnesia? I know that you like her, but isn't it too much for you to want to follow the game she is playing? I didn't expect you to let me be lied to by her, Dad!" said Michael with an annoyed look and tried hard not to scold his father in public.

Hearing the woman's name made his angry feelings come back again.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Collins had a confused look on his face. "I'm the one who asked Sarah to pretend she was still your wife."

"What?" Michael's brow furrowed when he heard that. What was his father  talking about?

Mr. Collins sighed when he saw how confused his son's face was. It seems his son misunderstood the situation.

"Come with me to my room. I'll tell you what happened."

***

Michael's face looked sad when he was led by his father to the VIP room at the hospital. Has his father been in this room alone for a month?

The room did look comfortable, but still Michael's heart ached when he imagined his father in this room alone without anyone to accompany him.

"I'm really tired, so I'm going to lie down," said Mr. Collins and walked to his bed.

Seeing this, Michael then swiftly helped his father, then sat on a chair near his father's bed to listen to what his father had to say.

Michael's face looked surprised when he heard what his father just said.

"You asked Sarah to pretend she was still my wife?!" said Michael repeating what he just said.

Mr. Collins' head nodded.

"But why? Ah! She must have suggested that it was the best thing to do, right? So you asked her to pretend she was still my wife," said Michael trying to justify what his father meant.

However, he only got a hit in his hand from his father..

"What's with your mind?! I told you I asked her to pretend she's still your wife. Sarah didn't propose anything like that!" said Mr. Collins looking annoyed. He didn't know why his son was so stupid that he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Michael still didn't seem to believe it. He had asked his mother, as well as James, that Sarah had told them to keep his divorce from her a secret.

But why…

"What? You think she approached me, said this was the best for you, then asked for money?" asked Mr. Collins when he saw Michael's expression.

He didn't know if Sarah had told him what really happened or not, but it seemed like Michael had heard a different version of the story, and he seemed to know who did it.

Mr. Collins sighed when he saw Michael's expression, it seemed what he said was right on target.

"You met your mother?" guessed Mr. Collins. Michael was silent when he heard this.

Another sigh escaped the old man's lips.

"You know that your mother has never liked Sarah. She always thinks badly of her," said Mr. Collins again with a sad expression on his face.

Sarah was an amazing woman, but his wife had never been satisfied with her just because she was an orphan raised in an orphanage. He had tried talking to his wife, but it seemed he would never be able to change her mind.

Michael once again just remained silent when he heard every word that came out of his father's mouth. It sounded calm, and even a little sad. He wasn't even being scolded right now, but his father's every word pierced his heart.

All this time… he was wrong.

"But why did you ask Sarah to do that?" Michael finally decided to ask and not second-guess like what he usually does..

"Because I want my daughter-in-law to come back! You think that she is still your wife and the look in your eyes looks like you still love her when you see her. So why not? Who knows Sarah might love you again and you guys can get back together," replied Mr. Collins nonchalantly.

Michael fell silent when he heard that. The last sentence of his father was like slapping him.

"Who knows Sarah might love you again and you guys can get back together."
