Never Too Far Novel

“Why is it taking so long? Emily isn’t done getting ready yet?”

“Yes, the bride needs more time to get ready.”

“I’m the bride! Arthur, I’m the one that you are supposed to marry!” Emily screamed hysterically.

“I’m sorry. Sophia is the one that I love. I’ll compensate you in some other way,” Arthur responded coldly.

Meanwhile, guests had already filled up the hall that could accommodate 300 people while Richard and Elliot were seated in the second row. Richard kept looking at the time as Arthur should have marched into the hall with Emily by that time. He had prepared the evidence and was ready to reveal it to everyone there. However, his plans were disrupted when Arthur was late.

“Why isn’t Arthur here yet? He’s always been punctual, so he shouldn’t be late.” Elliot frowned.

“Let’s wait for a while more.”

When Anastasia realized that Sophia was absent, she found out from Grace that Sophia had been unwell since morning and had sent her a text message saying that she wouldn’t be attending. Anastasia understood how devastated she must have felt, so she didn’t make it hard for her.

On the other hand, after the makeup artist and stylist reached the hospital, they immediately started putting on makeup for Sophia, besides picking out her wedding gown. Since Sophia had a slender and proportionate body figure, the wedding gown that the stylist picked out suited her well. As she lay in bed, she felt fuzzy, but she was firm about her decision to get married. Since her parents weren’t invited to the wedding, she would ask for their forgiveness once she returned home. After ten minutes, Sophia’s makeup was done, and she removed the infusion needle before putting on the wedding gown.

Emily, on the contrary, left the hospital in her long wedding gown while looking disgruntled. She looked at the bodyguard and demanded, “Send me to the hall.”

Hearing that, he shook his head and responded, “Young master had instructed us not to send you there.”

Emily bit her lip, feeling disappointed at Arthur for being cruel toward her as he had decided to abandon her and marry someone else just because she slapped Sophia. Dang it! I shouldn’t have slapped that annoying sl*t! Argh!

She took her phone out and dialed her parents’ phone number. “Emily, why aren’t you here yet? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” her mother gasped.

“Mom, Arthur will not be marrying me. He had decided to marry another woman.” At that point, all she could manage was complain.

“What? Who is he marrying?”

“He wanted to marry that b*tch, Sophia. Mom, Why isn’t dad’s drug working? He hasn’t seemed to have forgotten her,” Emily questioned while getting all choked up. “Is it because the dosage that Dad had administered was low?”

“Emily, where are you now? I will go over and fetch you. We shouldn’t give up just yet since you are his bride who is recognized by Old Madam Weiss, and the whole family is aware of this. Sophia is just a nobody. Wait for me there. I’ll be there soon.” Vera was reluctant to give up on her daughter’s happiness.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you here at the hospital.” Emily saw a ray of hope after listening to her mother’s words.

Meanwhile, Sophia, having a fever earlier, had been transformed into a beautiful bride. She was dressed in a pure white wedding gown, had delicate makeup on, and was accessorized with a diamond tiara which completed her look.

“Let’s go, my bride.” Arthur extended his arm, after which Sophia held onto it shyly as both of them walked out of the ward. The nurses were surprised by the sight of them. “I heard that Miss Jennings should be the bride. But this woman isn’t her,” they whispered. However, they still thought that Sophia and Arthur looked good together. As the couple marched out of the hospital, a luxurious limousine came into sight.

After the bodyguard opened the door, Arthur helped Sophia to rearrange her wedding gown train before she got into the car. The stylist who wanted to help out could only stand aside and watch the groom willingly attend to his bride. However, they were curious whether there were two brides that were getting married to him.

When Sophia sat in the limousine, she patted her chest anxiously and took a deep breath.

“Don’t be anxious. You won’t regret marrying me.” Arthur held onto her hand and comforted her. Although he had lost all the memories regarding her, he was adamant about marrying her.

Hearing that, she looked at him and nodded. Just then, her phone rang, and it was a message from Anastasia asking about her condition. She replied with a text that read, ‘Anastasia, I’m doing good. I have a surprise for you later on.’

As she was about to put her phone back in her bag after replying to the text, Arthur suddenly snatched her phone away from her, which puzzled her. He immediately scrolled through her photo album.

“What are you doing?” She laughed.

“I want to see what your boyfriend looks like and whether he’s more good-looking than me,” Arthur said with jealousy. He couldn’t figure out why she’d sleep with him when she already had a boyfriend.

Sophia, on the other hand, was calm as she looked at him, scrolling through the photo album. I’ll let him be jealous of himself.

Arthur was puzzled when he saw that all the pictures and videos on her phone were of both of them. Some of them were taken secretly, but he had no memory of the sceneries and places that they’d been to. He didn’t know when he had lost his memory. However, he wasn’t surprised at it as he didn’t have the memory of them sleeping together as well. After scrolling through her phone for a while, he didn’t see any photos of another man.

“Show me the pictures of your boyfriend.” He was determined to find out who his rival was so that he could do his best to defeat him.

Hearing that, she took her phone back and selected a picture before pointing at the man in it while saying, “Here. This is my boyfriend. He’s more handsome than you, right?”

Arthur was speechless after seeing it. Isn’t that me?

“Isn’t that me?” He was gobsmacked.

“That’s right! You’re my boyfriend!” Sophia giggled, looking at how adorable he looked when he was confused.

Upon hearing that, he felt immense heartache. He finally knew why Sophia couldn’t stop crying when she laid her eyes on him. It turned out that they were lovebirds, but he had somehow forgotten about her.

As Sophia smiled, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead before saying, “I’m sorry. I don’t know why I have forgotten about you, but I will try my very best to find the memories back.”

Right after he apologized, Sophia’s eyes welled up, but when she was about to cry, she immediately lifted her head and tried to hold back her tears. She told herself that she shouldn’t cry or else her beautiful makeup would be ruined.

“Alright, geez. Stop making me cry. I don’t want to ruin my makeup because I’ll look ugly if it does.” She wiped the tears off and looked at him as she said, “You promised that you would marry me. I’m happy as long as you can fulfill your promise.”

Have I promised that I would marry her? He wanted to punch himself in the face when he thought of how he almost married Emily today. I’d have broken Sophia’s heart if I had married that evil woman!

“What if you never get your memories back? Would you regret marrying me?” Sophia asked while looking down.

“If you’re the one, I’ll eventually fall in love with you again, so I’ll never regret my decision.” He looked her in the eyes and confessed.

He felt that after meeting Sophia, his world had been more colorful and that he had experienced happy emotions, which made his heart beat fast. As he stared into her bright eyes, he could see hope in them, which made him look forward to spending the rest of his life with her.

Sophia’s sweet smile was the best medicine for Arthur’s broken heart. She had taught him how to love and appreciate life. The best antidote to Johnny’s drug would be love.

Suddenly, Martha came into Sophia’s mind, and she asked worriedly, “Would your grandma be willing to accept me? What we are doing would hurt her if she refused to accept me.”

“My grandma hoped for me to be happy. If marrying you makes me happy, she would definitely agree to it.” Arthur was certain about it, as his grandmother loved him so much that she’d understand his choices.

He tightened his embrace around Sophia’s waist and had his eyes locked on hers as he smiled. She looked so stunning that he was certain that she was the wife he wanted.

“What are you looking at?” Her face was flushed red as he stared at her.

“Looking at you.” He stared at her intently as if she would run away if he looked away.

“After our wedding ceremony, you have to tell me about how we met and when we dated. I want to know everything about us,” Arthur said. Those forgotten memories were just too precious to him.

“Are you sure? You were unfriendly toward me in the beginning.” Sophia raised her brow.

“Have you forgiven me?” Arthur smiled as he asked.

“I have long forgiven you!” She smiled shyly, showing her pearly whites.

Hearing that, he was relieved and looked at the view outside. He then turned over and stared at her lips before asking, “Didn’t you put on lipstick?”

“I did!”

“But I can barely see it.”

“What should I do? I don’t have lipstick with me.” She sounded worried as she wanted to look her best on her big day.

“It’s ok. I can help you with that.”
