Chapter 492

But now I see clearly, all along, it was he who took the initiative. It was he who held me tightly, who forcefully and domineeringly intruded into my life, intruded into my heart.

Emotions cannot be fulfilled by standing still in the same place, and no one will wait for anyone forever. But his intention was very clear; he always liked me and wanted to be with me, so he was always moving towards this goal.

Even though I forgot about him, he still held onto me tightly in his own way. Despite some misunderstandings and arguments along the way, he never gave up on this relationship. In the end, he showed me his true heart.

If neither of us had paid any attention to the other, I would never have fallen in love with him in the end. So Anton, I didn’t lie to you, nor did I betray you. It’s just that I accidentally forgot that memory, and his persistence and dedication touched my heart. Matters of the heart have always been beyond one’s control.

I don’t know if I made myself clear, and I don’t know if Anton understood.

He leaned quietly against the stone pillar, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips—a smile that was not quite a smile, a self-deprecating and lonely expression.

I turned my face away in distress and whispered, “Just consider me a woman who doesn’t keep her promises. Forget about me in the future and go find your own happiness. Don’t let my so-called ‘promises’ hold you back anymore.”

Anton ignored me, the curve at the corner of his lips always tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

I sighed lightly, turned around, and prepared to return to the ward.

His faint voice suddenly came from behind me, “I have an irreconcilable feud with the Humphrey family, so I am destined to be enemies with Reynaldo in the future.”

I lowered my head sadly.

This was an unchangeable fact.

The grievances of the previous generation always have to be repaid by this generation. Hatred did not fall on me, and I had no right to advise others to let go of hatred.

I didn’t say anything and walked towards the hospital ward. When I returned to Reynaldo’s ward, the man was leaning against the head of the bed, staring out of the window in a daze.

His face was still very pale, and his lips had no color. At that time, he was completely different from his usual fierce and cold self; instead, he was fragile, a fragility that made people feel sorry for him.

“Are you hungry?”

I walked towards him with the breakfast I bought on the first floor, smiling.

He looked at me, with a slightly puzzled expression.

I sat down and raised the small table board, placing oatmeal and toast on it.

Seeing him staring at me without blinking for a moment, I chuckled and said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me?”

Reynaldo shook his head, his dark gaze fixed on me.

He said, “I thought you had left with Anton.”

I laughed and said to him, “See, you are overthinking again, right? I just made things clear with him, that’s all.”

“But you used to like him so much when you were young, and you always lied to me for him…”

“Stop!” I glared at him angrily, “Did you deliberately frame me while I had forgotten that memory?”

“No!”

That memory seemed to stir up some bad memories for him, as the man’s face darkened.

He said, “You always protected him back then, deceiving me.”
