"By the way, I cannot go outside wearing these clothes. Can you please arrange some clothes for me?" Sarah said.
"Yes, of course. Just wait for a while, I'll be back," Kevin replied.
Kevin first went to Zara and asked her for some clothes. Zara questioned him, "Why do you need my clothes, brother?"
"I need them for Miss Beautiful," Kevin replied.
Zara made a jealous face and stayed silent for a moment. Deep inside, she was thinking, That 'simple girl' will wear my clothes? But she couldn't refuse her brother. So she took out some clothes from her wardrobe and gave them to Kevin.
Kevin brought those clothes to Sarah and gave them to her. But when Sarah saw them, she didn't feel comfortable. They were very short, bold, and revealing — the kind of clothes Sarah never wore. She preferred simple and comfortable outfits.
"Thank you, Kevin… and I'm sorry too," Sarah said shyly, lowering her head.
"Sorry? Why?" Kevin asked.
"Because I don't wear this kind of clothing," Sarah replied softly.
Kevin smiled and said, "Hey beautiful, it's okay. Everyone has their own choice when it comes to clothes. We cannot force our choices on someone else."
"Thank you so much for understanding me," Sarah said.
"Oh beautiful, you started again," Kevin said, gently holding her face in his hands and lifting it up. Looking into her eyes, he added, "Don't you know? In friendship, there is no 'sorry' and 'thank you.' So from now on, you will neither say sorry nor thank you to me, okay?"
Sarah smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, Doctor."
Kevin went back to Zara again and asked, "Do you have any other clothes? These seem a bit uncomfortable for her."
Zara was happy inside because her plan had worked. She didn't want Sarah to wear her clothes, so she had intentionally given such outfits that Sarah would refuse them herself.
"Brother, you know me — I am very stylish and bold. I only wear these kinds of clothes. I don't have any other options," Zara said.
Kevin gently patted her head and smiled, "It's okay. At least you tried to help, and I appreciate that."
While walking, Kevin got an idea. In his wardrobe, there were some clothes of his late wife, which would fit Sarah perfectly. He immediately went to his room and took out one of those dresses — the same dress he had once gifted to Sofia.
Kevin brought that dress to Sarah and asked, "How about this one?"
Sarah looked at it and said, "Yes, this will be perfect. It looks comfortable too. And please thank Zara on my behalf."
Kevin said softly with a hint of sadness, "These are not Zara's clothes… they belong to my wife."
"Sorry, Kevin. Then I can't wear them. These must be very special for you," Sarah said.
"Hey beautiful, what are you saying? Sofia would be very happy to see that her clothes are being useful to someone. And after what you did today — risking your life to save Eva — consider this my gift to you," Kevin replied.
Sarah couldn't argue much and couldn't refuse him either.
"You won't be able to wear this dress alone. You will need help. Wait, I'll send someone," Kevin said.
Kevin's mother helped Sarah wear the dress. When Kevin saw Sarah in that dress, for a moment, she looked exactly like Sofia. He couldn't take his eyes off her and kept staring at her.
"Hey beautiful, in this dress you don't look just beautiful… you look gorgeous," Kevin said.
Kevin brought food for Sarah and said, "Hey beautiful, you must be hungry, so I brought food for you. I'll feed you."
While feeding her, a little bit of food accidentally got stuck on Sarah's lower lip. Kevin tried to tell her through gestures that something was on her lips. He pointed toward her lips, but Sarah looked above, to the side, and around, but couldn't find the exact spot.
So Kevin came closer and slowly moved his thumb toward her lips. As his thumb gently touched her lips, it slowly brushed across them… and along with his touch, his heart also began to melt.
At that moment, Kevin started feeling something deeply for Sarah — a strong romantic feeling. Sarah, too, felt something inside. She closed her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly saw a flash of a memory — a black and white scene where a girl was wiping food from someone's lips in the same way. But she couldn't understand who those people were.
Her facial expressions suddenly changed into confusion and fear.
Kevin noticed this and asked, "Hey beautiful, what happened?"
Sarah told him about the memory she had just seen.
"Oh! That's a very good sign. It means your memory is slowly coming back. There are almost 80% chances now that your memory will return, and I'm really happy," Kevin said.
The next day, since Sarah didn't have clothes, Kevin decided to take her shopping. He took her to a clothing store, which was quite expensive.
The shopkeeper showed many outfits, but all of them were very costly. Sarah didn't want to choose anything. She wasn't the kind of girl who would spend someone else's money, and she felt uncomfortable.
She stayed silent for a while.
Kevin asked, "Hey beautiful, what happened? Didn't you like anything?"
Sarah looked into his eyes and said, "No Kevin, it's not like that. All the clothes are very beautiful, but they are very expensive, and I don't think I have the right to buy such costly clothes."
Kevin made an upset expression and said, "Oh, so that means you never considered me your friend. Fine, then let's end this friendship right now."
"Kevin, what are you saying? I have always considered you my friend from the bottom of my heart. How can you question our friendship?" Sarah said.
"Then why are you thinking so much about price? Expensive or cheap — we only think like that when we consider the other person as a stranger," Kevin replied.
Sarah had no answer. She looked down nervously.
"Listen, in friendship, we don't measure things in money. We only see the other person's heart. And if you still feel it's too expensive, then you can repay me when your memory comes back," Kevin said.
Hearing this, Sarah smiled happily and said, "That sounds like a fair deal."
Then Sarah and Kevin gave each other a high-five like two true friends.
