Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 260
I had watched helplessly from the speedboat as the cruise ship blew apart and Irvin perished with it. Then, my memories of him suddenly came rushing back. I remembered the overwhelming love I had for him. At the time, my emotions had been so intense and uncontrollable. However, I didn't feel the same surge of emotions now that I was awake. I didn't know how to describe how I was feeling. It was a mixture of pain and sorrow. I wanted to cry, and I also wished Irvin was still alive.However, unlike on the speedboat, the feeling wasn't unbearable. And I wasn't wishing I had been in Irvin's place on the ship instead.Despite having my memories back, I hadn't reverted to my past self—the one who loved Irvin so deeply that she couldn't live without him. However, I also wasn't the version of myself who hated him because of the amnesia.I had no idea how I felt about him now, but it honestly didn't matter. All I cared about was that he might still be alive. He couldn't have died for me

Quinton glowered at Noah. He had the urge to comment on how I already had another guy hanging around me when Irvin's death still hadn't been confirmed. However, he held his tongue when he saw Mr. Ashford sipping on whiskey not too far away.Noah had enlisted Mr. Ashford's help. That was how we found so much manpower to help dredge the open sea. Mr. Ashford was also the reason Kade's major criminal organization had backed off.Irvin might be dead right now. But even if he was here, Quinton knew their combined efforts still wouldn't be a match for Mr. Ashford. Hence, he had no choice but to tolerate Noah no matter how strong his dislike was.Julianne was like Mr. Ashford's shadow. And, since he was here, she naturally was too. Her fists clenched with frustration as she surveyed the aftermath of her carefully planned incident.She didn't understand how I could be so lucky. Once again, I had made it out of the incident unscathed. Meanwhile, something had happened to Irvin instead. Ho

"Irvin also asked me to tell you not to be sad or heartbroken over what happened to him," Quinton said. "He told me he was sorry for what he had done to you. "He also felt it would take multiple lifetimes for him to make it up to you. But even then, he felt it still wouldn't be enough—not even if he had died a thousand times."Irvin hoped you'd be happy once he was gone. He knows he promised to stay out of your sight after the divorce, so he also hoped you wouldn't think he deserved what happened to him."He took a shaky breath before continuing, "Irvin—He initially wanted me to hold on to his ID card, but after thinking about it, I decided you should have it."His father's actions really had psychologically scarred him, Emilia. It made him especially fearful that the people he loved most weren't being genuine toward him. Irvin had misunderstood you because of this fear."In truth, he really did love you very much. So please, try to forgive him. I hope the day will come when you'

The teacup clattered loudly against the floor, drawing everyone's attention to me.However, I was still frozen in shock. My body was trembling involuntarily as I stared at the man in the wheelchair."Irvin…" The name slipped from my lips.I had a strong urge to walk closer to the man so I could see his face more clearly.Just as I was about to do so, the pregnant woman blocked my path.Then, she looked at me gently and said, "I think you're mistaken, Ms. Quill. This is my husband, Timothy Hardwell."I snapped out of my daze with a jerk and reflexively looked at Timothy. I unconsciously took a step back when our eyes met, as his gaze felt utterly unfamiliar.Irvin would never look at me like that.Could it be that Timothy wasn't Irvin? But if he wasn't, why did they look exactly alike? Aside from his unfamiliar gaze, Timothy looked identical to Irvin in every other way!I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find the words.The Hardwells were a noble family that had lived i
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 264
According to Timothy's medical records, he had been in a car accident around the same time Irvin died.My eyes glossed over when I read this.I turned to Timothy and Mrs. Hardwell once I finished examining the documents.Then, I said, "Aside from the chip implantation procedure, we are also experimenting with external physical stimulation therapy. It's a non-surgical treatment and has few risks. "Based on Mr. Hardwell's medical records, his nerve damage doesn't seem extensive. Hence, he should be able to undergo this therapy."That being said, I will need to take his records back to our expert team for further evaluation. I'll update you with a definitive treatment plan once they complete their evaluation."Mrs. Hardwell was elated to hear there was a safer treatment option."Oh, please do, Ms. Quill. Thank you so much!" she happily exclaimed."Don't thank me yet," I replied.I glanced at Timothy once more before excusing myself. I then left after telling them I had other mat

"People want what they can't have, to the point where they might obsess over it," Me. Ashford said. "And the more out of reach the object of their desire is, the crazier that obsession becomes. "However, once they attain it, that desired item turns into something as plain as bread, regardless of how perfect it had initially seemed."He elaborated, "So, Noah's perfect impression of you will completely change if you start dating him. And eventually, he'll fall out of love with you and realize he can live without you."I found myself at a loss for words yet again. After a long pause, I said, "I only see Noah as a brother."The Noah I knew now was very different. I had met him when he was 13 years old, while he was still short and small. I had instantly regarded him as a little brother, and that impression remained deeply ingrained in my mind.To me, he was closer than my own family. Plus, I had no desire to date right now. And even if I did, I definitely wouldn't be able to develop

I was about to retort when Mr. Ashford spoke again."The pregnant woman with Timothy is his wife. They even have a child together. Do you plan on breaking apart the family just because of his face?" Mr. Ashford added.My eyes widened in shock."I have no such intentions!" I shot back indignantly.I wasn't even sure if Timothy was Irvin, but even if he was, I had just been caught off guard by the sight of someone who I thought was dead. My mind had been whirling as I struggled to process it all.I only wanted to confirm whether or not Timothy was Irvin. I never even thought of being with him, let alone being a homewrecker!Mr. Ashford glanced at me but didn't say anything further.Our food arrived just then, so I didn't say anything, either.…Mr. Ashford shot me a meaningful look after the meal, as if telling me to seriously consider what he had said. Then, he left.My mind wandered to his request as I watched his departing figure. Regardless, I also believed Noah and I were

"Ms. Quill, you—" Grace sputtered.From her expression, I could tell she wanted to say, "You really will say anything to save your pride. How will you get in if you won't follow us?"Just then, a few people walked out of the hall. At the lead was an elderly man with white hair.Upon seeing me, the elderly man's stern expression morphed into a smile. "Emilia! You're here!"I returned the smile and walked up to greet him, "Hello, Professor Weiss."I had met several influential figures during the Global Technology Forum in Lestoria. Among them, I had gotten along best with this man, Professor Richard Weiss.After exchanging pleasantries, Professor Weiss turned to Mitchell and asked, "Who is this man? What gives him the right to bar you from attending the conference and call you an academic fraud?"Professor Weiss was the biggest name in the physics field. He was someone everyone respected and dared not offend.Hearing this, Mitchell quickly explained, "It was a misunderstanding! I

"Of course!" Grace said.Moving to my side, she linked her arm with mine in a friendly gesture. It was as though we were on very good terms.She continued, "Not only is she an incredibly skilled researcher, but she's also my sister-in-law—which means she's also a member of the Hardwell family. So, Mr. Slate, any accusations of her being an academic fraud must be a misunderstanding!"Upon hearing how solemn Grace was, Mitchell couldn't help but look at me."If you aren't an academic fraud, then why would Ms. Calder say that about you?" he asked.I coolly returned his gaze. "That's a question for Ms. Calder, not me."Mitchell frowned and looked displeased. He clearly hadn't expected that answer.Grace turned to me and said, "Alright, Emi. Let's go inside together!"Her expression read, "Come on. I'll bring you in."Irvin didn't understand why I hadn't been allowed in despite having an invitation. He also didn't know why I had been mistaken for an academic fraud and was being bar

I looked down at my phone and was zooming in on the image of the data. But before I could even take a good look at it, Emma squeezed my arm."Holy crap! Emilia. Isn't that your ex-husband's brother!" she exclaimed.I instinctively looked up—just in time to see Irvin opening the car door and courteously helping Grace get down.Grace flashed a gentle smile at Irvin, then linked arms with him. To onlookers, that intimate gesture made them look like a loving married couple.I thought back to how Irvin had been near tears when we had met on the first snowfall of the season. Yet now, he was holding another woman's arm and playing the role of her devoted husband.I couldn't even describe how I felt at that moment.Then, I recalled how much Irvin had despised Grace before. Yet, in just a month, he managed to make it look like they were happily married. I feared it wouldn't be long before he began to feel sympathy for her. And then, per Grace's scheme, Irvin would eventually truly becom

Upon learning this, she suddenly felt she had the upper hand again.While she still couldn't figure William out entirely, she had come to understand him somewhat.

But as long as she didn't harm me, she knew no one would hold it against her.

Seeing how determined I was, Emma didn't press any further.Just as we were about to leave in the car, another car pulled up beside ours. When I saw who stepped out of it, my eyes widened in shock.Emma saw them too and tugged at my sleeve in surprise. "Emilia, isn't that your ex-husband's brother and sister-in-law?"I was just about to say yes when Grace suddenly collapsed into Irvin's arms. He picked her up and rushed toward the hospital.Seeing this reminded me of how I had wished that Irvin would come and save me when I was drowning.I chuckled mockingly.Noticing something was off with me, Emma turned to me. "Emilia, what's wrong?"I withdrew my gaze. "Nothing."Then I told the driver to start driving.As the car drove out of the hospital, Emma stared at me. She hesitated at first, but then curiosity got the better of her "Emilia, looking at how you reacted to your ex-husband's brother… Is it true that he's actually not Timothy, but Irvin?" she asked.She had been with

Only after our car had driven far into the distance did William finally withdraw his gaze from Noah's car."Was Ms. Quill's assistant rescued?" he asked.Matthew immediately replied, "Yes, she's been taken to the hospital. She's out of danger."William hummed indifferently in response, then got into the car and left.…By the time I woke up in the hospital, night had already fallen.I was surprised to see Noah sitting at my bedside—surprised that I was still alive and that it was Noah who had come to save me.Seeing me awake, Noah stood up excitedly. "Emi, how are you feeling? I'll get the doctor!"I wanted to tell him I was fine, but my voice came out hoarse when I opened my mouth.Suddenly, I remembered something and quickly reached out to grab Noah before he could leave to call the doctor.Before I could even ask, he already knew what I was going to ask. "Your assistant's fine. She woke up even earlier than you," he said. Hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief.Noah

Emma was also quite smart. Once she calmed down, she immediately understood what I meant. She wanted to say something, but I had already opened the car door and pushed her out.Seeing several people swimming toward us, I shoved her again, urging her to leave quickly.In the face of life and death, survival would become an instinct for everyone. So even though she didn't wish me harm or want to leave me behind, she swam away with tears in her eyes. Not long after she left, those so-called "rescuers" surrounded me.When they noticed someone had swum away, they exchanged hand signals underwater, planning to send some after her and others to capture me. Realizing this, I quickly pointed at myself, trying to tell them that I was the one they were looking for. Then I turned and swam in the opposite direction, hoping to lure them away and buy her more time to escape. But even though they understood my gesture, they didn't believe me. They still sent people after her.They were very

There was only one road from the airport to the city, and William's car was right behind ours.Matthew, who was driving, immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw our car suddenly accelerating at an alarming speed.He quickly said, "Mr. Ashford, something's wrong with Ms. Quill's car!"William, who was busy reading the documents, immediately looked up. His gaze darkened when he saw how recklessly the car in front was moving."Catch up with them!" he ordered. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Noah calling, and he sounded anxious on the other end. "Uncle Will, are you with Emi right now? I just heard that Madeleine is planning to kill her! "I don't know the exact plan, but I heard they're making a move on the way from the airport to the city. You need to be careful! I'm heading to the airport right now!"Noah's words made William's expression grow even darker. …While Emma was still processing the situation, I noticed something strange about the driver. If the

Just like that, we came back alive from the brink of death in an instant. It felt like we were in hell one moment and in heaven the next.Perhaps I was still too scared. So scared that even after the plane had stabilized for a while, I still couldn't find any strength in my body. I was still shaken by the fear and couldn't fully snap out of it.William was also holding me tightly the entire time, not letting go. The softness of my body in his arms stirred something in him that he couldn't describe. He instinctively didn't want to let go.It wasn't until a flight attendant knocked on the door to check on us that I finally returned to my senses.William also let go of me instantly. The sudden emptiness in his arms left him feeling rather hollow.He came to realize something, and his already deep gaze darkened even more, making it even harder to read.After the flight attendant tidied up the cabin and left, William, who had been perfectly fine and warm just moments ago, suddenly tur
