Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Did he save me?

Arwen felt as though she was in a deep, comfortable sleep. Her body no longer felt any pain, and she sensed a continuous presence by her side, as if somebody stayed with her day and night.

The person wouldn't speak but he would be there, holding her hand and caressing it to make her feel comfortable and relaxed. His identity was a mystery to her, but for some reason, his presence no longer felt foreign.

Arwen didn't know how many more days she had to sleep, but she was growing tired of this deep and dark slumber. She felt simply trapped in a room with the lights off.

Suddenly, amidst that darkness around, she felt something move. She walked in the direction to check and saw the darkness change suddenly. She was still trapped in the sleep, but no longer in the same black room. Now, she could see the street back from her childhood — the same lane she used to take to her high school.

This ...

She was contemplating what was happening when she saw her younger self appear in the same old uniform from high school. This day seemed more familiar than any other time, and then Arwen realized why.

It was familiar because it was the day she first met Ryan.

On normal days, her family's car would drop her off at school. But due to her stubbornness that day, she deliberately chose to walk.

Arwen's brows furrowed a little as she tried to remember the events of that day. And just as she did, she heard a yell and then a screech. She looked back to check what happened but then the scene shifted to another. This time, it was the decor of the hospital.

Her father's joyous face came into view as she saw herself waking up after the concussion, all weak and pale.

Yes, on that day, she had gotten into an accident, where she had lost consciousness on the spot and was brought to the hospital. It was only after she woke that she realized how lucky she was to be alive after the incident.

"Arwen, how many times have we told you to be mindful on the road? See, what would have happened if Ryan hadn't found you there in time? Your father and I wouldn't have known that you got yourself in trouble." She heard her mother speak and her eyes darted to look at the young boy standing on the side.

He looked the same even back then —tall and handsome. The only difference was that now a little more maturity had been added to his features.

"Oh, you might not know him yet. Let me introduce you to him." Her mother spoke once again. "He is Ryan Foster, son of my best friend. You might not remember him, but you know him. Both of you had spent a considerable time together in childhood until he moved abroad with his family. Now they have returned and, Ryan will be joining your school."

And from then on, she came to know who Ryan Foster was — a childhood sweetheart who later grew up and became her fiancé.
