Zoey knew Shawn had lost his memories. Although she didn’t know what caused it, he'd forgotten everything that had happened back then. Zoey remained quiet for a moment. “Would you believe me if I told you?” Shawn stared into her eyes, not knowing what kind of answers he wanted to hear from her. Someone had deliberately removed his memories of what had happened in Southgrove.He couldn’t remember anything, and every time he tried to recall something, his brain hurt like it was being electrocuted. He could only rely on other means to investigate. However, almost all traces of that past had been removed. Shawn was almost certain that he'd known her in Southgrove, and she was kind of like an old friend. “Try me.” Zoey had no idea why he wanted to know about the past, as it was pointless now. “It doesn’t matter if he remembers or not,” she thought.“Yes, we did. So what?” Pursing his lips, Shawn remained quiet for a while, but she seemed reluctant to offer more info

Laurence pulled Zoey into a hug on his lap, their breaths hot on each other. She avoided his gaze, looking down while maintaining a calm expression. As her fingers clenched into a fist, she said indifferently in a faint voice, “I have never tormented you.”Zoey felt wronged, as she lacked the power to torment him. Their marriage was only on paper and also represented a disparity in status. She was always the passive one. She had to do whatever Laurence wanted her to do. Laurence gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. While distracted, he replied, “Probably not.”Was it really like that? There were times when winners actually lost completely.Laurence wasn’t sure when he'd started to care about her. He would observe her every move, curious about her life. He wanted to know who she talked to and who she met. He'd gotten used to the days when she was by his side. He was used to his life with her, her smell, and being able to hug her from behind every night to sleep well. He hadn

Zoey didn't notice that his face was as pale as a sheet. She was in a hurry to break herself free, so even though she spoke slowly, her words sounded very harsh."I'm filthy. You said you're a clean freak, so don't touch me anymore." Zoey could be stubborn when she loved somebody, but she could also be serious when it was time to give up. She didn't mind using his words to persuade him to do that. She looked up. "I'm a whore, Laurence. Don't degrade yourself."Laurence felt his chest tighten as a searing pain started to spread through his heart. He had the sensation that he was falling into an abyss, and when he finally landed, a sharp knife had even pierced his heart.He opened his mouth, feeling as if the air had been squeezed out of his lungs. His throat was burning in pain. He couldn't bear to hear her say those words. She didn't need to hurt herself like that just to get away from him.Laurence's face was ashen, and his eyes were cold. He'd always had a glib tongue, but he was

Zoey went to a private hospital nearby. After she registered herself, she waited on a bench in the corridor.She stared into space as she sat there, seemingly in a trance. She didn't even play with her phone. She didn't even hear the text notification go off.When her name was called, half an hour had already passed.It was unclear if it was just in her head, but she felt her hearing start to blur again. She hadn't even heard her name clearly.Zoey raised her hand to touch her ear. She'd worn a hearing aid in the past. When she was still in school, she felt embarrassed about wearing it. She was afraid that people would find out and look down on her because of it. If this ear was having problems again, she truly had no idea what to do.There was no particularly good treatment for hearing issues.When Zoey walked into the doctor's office, she was still a little out of it. Her mind was foggy. For some reason, she thought of what had happened in the abandoned factory again.That k

Zoey turned away slightly, not wanting to be touched by him.Laurence didn't ask her if she was in pain. He knew it would be very painful without asking.He truly had no idea that her ear had been injured before. Anything he said at that moment would sound like he was putting on an act. The most useless thing in this world was to feel regret after the fact.From Zoey's angle, she could only see Laurence's Adam's apple and his indifferent side profile.Laurence's expression was rather unpleasant. It was a little somber, and it seemed like he was in pain as well.However, Zoey didn't believe that Laurence was in pain. He was merciless when it came to people he didn't care about, and she wasn't someone he would care for.He was probably feeling a little bad at that moment, just because he felt a tiny bit guilty for the harm he caused her."Are you satisfied? I've gotten my retribution for cheating on you, and my ear is injured now. Laurence, you should feel happy now, right?" Zoey
