No matter how much someone pretended, they couldn't hide their true temperament.Maria had spent seven years with Richard, so she knew him well. Now his eyes, his expression, and every small gesture were different.Maria watched him pulling Cameron's sleeve like a child. She took a deep breath and walked.Richard didn't even bat an eye when he saw her. He just kept frowning and pouting. "Don't you hear me? What are your maids doing? I'm hungry. Is no one going to cook for me? If this keeps up, I'll have my father fire all of you!"Maria's expression grew darker. Richard's father had been dead for a long time. If Richard was talking like this, then he must have only remembered part of his past and still thought of himself as a boy.Maria faked a cough. "Richard, how old are you this year?"Richard narrowed his eyes and stood up, staring at her. "How dare you call me by my name?""I..." Maria changed her tone, testing him. "Sir, do you know how old you are? Answer a few question

Maria walked up to Cameron, took his hand, and locked their fingers together. Then, she turned and looked straight at Richard, whose face was frozen in disbelief. "This is the man I'm going to date. You're already out."Richard clenched his fists, pain in his eyes. What Maria said hit him hard as he shook his head. "No, I don't believe this is real. You've only ever loved me! You can't change your mind this fast. You're not someone that casual…"Maria raised her chin and retaliated, "Do you even know what kind of person I am? Didn't it take me all these years to finally see who you clearly are?" Right now, Richard didn't remember anything, which suited her just fine. Only by abandoning him and hurting him like this could she feel even a little better. All that anger she had nowhere to put finally had an outlet.Maria turned away and sneered coldly, "Now that you know everything, why are you still standing there? Stop getting in my way and go back to your room! When you're full

"…Alright." Richard was silent for a few seconds before he finally said something to Maria, his voice low and heavy with disappointment. "Then I won't bother you. I'll go now."He hung the pajamas on the doorknob and left.When Maria couldn't hear any more sound outside, she let out a sigh of relief, thinking he was gone. However, she was still feeling somewhat uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she wrapped a bath towel tightly around herself before stepping out, just to be safe.The second she walked out, a hand suddenly reached in from the side and pulled her over.Maria yelped out in surprise. Before she could react, she crashed into a warm chest. Richard held her and looked at her with a smile.Maria was furious. She didn't expect him to try to take advantage of her at a time like this. She raised her hand and slapped him without a second thought.Richard was caught off guard and took the hit, but he didn't get angry. He only laughed and tapped Maria on the nose. "F

Cameron lowered his eyes and just looked at Maria. "He'll never understand what you really need. Even if he tries to make up for it afterward, it's already too late. Scars like that never heal perfectly."Maria felt much more at ease after hearing what Cameron had to say.She couldn't help thinking that there really were people in this world who understood her. Richard would never be that person.With that thought in mind, Maria gave Cameron a grateful smile. "Regardless of what happened, I wasn't condemning you for hitting him just now. Take it easy.""I won't," Cameron said before pausing for a moment. He was clearly reluctant to bring up Richard's condition. "It was my fault, though. I didn't hit his head, but the cut on the back of it got pulled open. He needs to get stitched again now.""Stitch..." Maria repeated the word and winced just imagining it. However, she still had no intention of going to see Richard. She nodded and said, "I'm going upstairs to rest. We'll dea

Maria had never seen Richard like this before. He looked completely lost, as if he had no idea what he was doing or where he was going.Richard stopped and looked at her, opening his mouth at last. "I..."Maria raised her brows, puzzled. "Yes? I'm listening."Richard shook his head again. "Nothing. I won't say anything."Maria froze for a moment. Richard pulled his hand free and kept walking.His steps became stiff and repetitive, almost mechanical. Maria frowned slowly, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She raised her head and met Cameron's eyes. "Call the psychiatric team over. Something's really wrong with him. If this keeps up, he might not even survive."Cameron nodded and went back to pressure Scarlet to get the doctors here as soon as possible.Meanwhile, Maria followed Richard for more than half an hour, worried that something might happen to Richard. Only after that did he finally make his way back. When they passed each other, he didn't even turn his head to lo
