Chapter 1

"Miss, aren't you leaving?" the butler reminded me gently from behind.Taking a deep breath, I forced a polite smile and approached Leonard Burton slowly. I was dreading every step I took as scenes from my past life flashed before my eyes. He had pushed me out of harm's way just before the accident happened. His diary had been full of his yearning for Yelena Lynch, the name he had murmured in his dream subconsciously. "Leonard," I called out softly. He turned around and seemed to be in a trance. The next instant, he flashed a polite yet distant smile. "It's been a while," he said.I noticed the seashell bracelet on his right wrist at this moment. It shimmered under the sunlight. It had been a gift from Yelena. I hadn't noticed it in my past life, but my eyes hurt just from looking at it now."You…" I opened my mouth but was at a loss for words. "The doctor said I haven't regained my memory completely." He massaged his temples. "I'm still confused about many things."I

"Leonard, take Liv to try on the gowns," ordered Samuel Burton, Leonard's father. "Pick them out on your own. We'll leave this to you guys."Leonard stood up and offered a hand to me. I stared at his slender fingers and thought of how he had described his yearning for another woman in his diary with these exact hands. "I'll always remember the sight of Lena standing at the pier. The sea breeze lifted the hem of her floral dress as she wept uncontrollably."Sometimes, when I look at the person next to me, I wonder if my life now would be different if I hadn't lost my memory or hadn't met Lena."These words were like knives stabbing into my heart, and I was bleeding from the gaping wounds."Sure." I smiled sweetly and held his arm.I could feel how stiff his body was, but I pretended not to notice anything. I provided an address after getting into the car. It was the most high-end bridal shop in the city. I had tried on the gowns there in my past life for a whole day, believing

The preparation for the wedding was in full swing. Since the preparation required a lot of manpower and resources, they hired many people.Yelena happened to be one of them. Leonard was shocked to see her.I stood in the hallway on the second floor and witnessed the scene in the lobby.Yelena wore a simple white dress with her hair cascading down her shoulders. She was busy filling in the employment form. Leonard paused for a bit when he walked past her. "This is the new assistant wedding planner, Ms. Yelena Lynch," the human resource manager introduced.Yelena raised her head and looked Leonard in the eyes. I saw Leonard's fingers tremble slightly. He usually did that out of habit when he was emotional."Welcome." Leonard's voice was slightly husky. He swiftly left after that. I secretly trailed behind him and saw him enter the utility room.After a while, Yelena entered the room too. I stood at the door and heard the muffled sounds of sobbing coming from inside. "

Leonard eventually regained his memory as time passed. The treatment seemed to be working. The day before the wedding, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and fixed his eyes on me for a long time."Liv," he called out softly, sounding slightly hesitant. "Recently… I seem to recall something."His voice suddenly became serious. "Do you still have the music box I gifted you? The one with our photo inside."I looked up and saw the anticipation in his eyes. My heart ached at the sight. The music box had turned into ashes when I burned all our memories. I forced a smile and said softly, "I accidentally lost it."His gaze dimmed instantly. Soon, he regained his composure. "It's okay. I'll buy you another one."I didn't reply and looked at him in silence. His gaze wasn't as apathetic as before. Instead, it was filled with gentleness and guilt.However, I knew his gentleness wasn't meant only for me. Someone had begun to hold a place in his heart a long time ago.Leonard walke

Chapter 5

Six years later, I was invited by my best friend to return to the country for a gathering with my former classmates.In these six years, I had traveled around the world. From the Northern glaciers to the prairie in Aswata, the towering rainforest in South Agrela, and the beaches of Oshuria—I visited them all.My travel diary had become a best-selling book, and the photographs I had taken had also won a global award. I had finally become the person I always wanted to be. I was free, independent, and full of spirit. The gathering of former classmates would be held in a high-end restaurant. I wore a simple white dress and light makeup, but I still became the center of attention.All my classmates surrounded me and listened to my interesting travel stories. "Liv, did you know? Leonard has been living such a miserable life these past six years," Melody Parker, my best friend, said in a low voice. I arched an eyebrow. "Oh?""After you ran away from the wedding, Leonard almost w

Chapter 6

Yelena froze at the mention of divorce. She widened her eyes and stared at Leonard in disbelief. Her lips trembled as she asked, "What… What did you say?"Leonard took a deep breath and repeated. "Let's divorce."Yelena's face instantly turned as white as a sheet.She stumbled backward and burst into tears. "You… can't do this to me."Suddenly, she pounced on Leonard and grabbed his sleeve tightly. "Leonard, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten how we lost our baby?"Leonard's body stiffened for a moment. "That day…" Yelena sobbed. "If you hadn't insisted on me going to the hospital for a checkup, and if you hadn't made me go alone, our baby wouldn't have…"Leonard's expression turned into one of misery. He closed his eyes, seemingly reluctant to recall that incident. "I hate you." Yelena's voice became softer and softer. "But I love you. I love you so much…"She raised her head and stared at Leonard with teary eyes. "You promised to take care of me your whole life."Leon

Chapter 7

Quite frankly, I didn't care if things were right or wrong here. After packing, I was ready to leave.Suddenly, my phone rang. It was a call from Leonard's mom, Charlotte. "Liv," Charlotte said with a choked-up voice. "Leonard vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital. Could you come to visit him?" I held my phone tight and fell silent. He had saved me twice.The first time, he had fallen down the mountain to save me in my previous life. The second time, he had sacrificed his life to save me when we departed for a road trip.I sighed. "Okay, I'll pay him a visit."In the hospital, Leonard lay on the bed, looking pale. When he saw me come in, he forced a smile. "You're here."I nodded and sat next to the bed. "What happened?"He smiled bitterly. "I found out that Yelena has been having an affair with someone."I arched my eyebrows at the revelation."I went home early that day after a business meeting. I heard noises from the bedroom, so I opened the door and saw…

Chapter 8

A week later, Leonard was discharged from the hospital. We were to meet in a café in the suburban area of the city.He was waiting at the seat next to the window when I arrived. He seemed to be in a better state compared to when he was in the hospital. However, the dark circles under his eyes could still be seen. "Liv, thank you for coming." He stood up and pulled out a chair for me."Actually… I've been looking for you all these years," he said.I arched my brow. "Looking for me?""Yeah." He smiled bitterly. "I know you don't want to meet me, but I wish—""Leonard," I interrupted. "Just move on. I'm doing well now. I mean it."He lowered his head and pulled a small box from his pocket. Then, he pushed it toward me.I opened the box and was stunned.It was the lucky charm thought to be missing. The pendant shimmered gently under the sunlight. It looked exactly like what I remembered. "I found it in the clutter at home. It was broken then, so I repaired it with my lousy

Chapter 9

In the hospital, Leonard was brought into the ICU.I sat on a bench in the hallway and couldn't stop quivering. This scene was almost identical to what had happened in my past life.Yelena had been taken away by the police, and she would face severe punishment for her crime. Charlotte rushed over and was stunned to see me."Liv…" she called hesitantly. I rose to my feet. "Mrs. Burton, I'm sorry."Charlotte shook her head and held my hand. "No. We should apologize instead."We held each other and broke down in tears.Leonard was still in a critical stage.Meanwhile, the content of his diary was published on the Internet. The diary recorded every moment we had spent together.I sat on the bench outside the ICU, and my phone kept vibrating."Liv, have you seen the news? Leonard's diary has gone viral on the Internet!""Oh my God! You guys had such great memories together!""He loves you so much…"I tapped on my phone. The topic at the top of the trending list read, "high
