She Forgot Our Forever의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 8

The next day, I set up my waffle stand as usual.A voice crackled through my earpiece. "Unit 0307, watch the man coming toward you. Brown jacket, baseball cap. Keep it quiet."This was one of the busiest streets in Dover. We hoped to make the arrest without drawing a crowd.The man walked up to my stand. "I'll take an order of waffles."Then he spoke into his phone. "I'll be there in a bit."As I handed him his order, I deliberately let the open syrup cup tip over, spilling it onto his hand.He kicked a wooden crate beside my stand. "Watch what you're doing!"I ducked my head and apologized several times. He raised a hand to hit me, but someone stepped between us before he could.It was Lindsay. Without hesitating, she knocked him to the ground with a kick.For a second, I thought her memory was back. But I knew that wasn't possible.The officers waiting nearby rushed over, flashed their badges, and took him into custody. One of them told me to come to the station to give a s

The next day, I returned to Whitefield. Anthony handed me the case files and studied me for a moment. "You've lost a lot of weight."I kept my eyes on the information about the suspects' hideout. "Not really."When I first moved to Dover, I could barely function. I had just lost the woman I planned to marry and the career I worked so hard to build.I couldn't sleep, either. One night, desperate to get some rest, I swallowed more than half a bottle of sleeping pills. If Hannah hadn't found me in time, I might not have survived.She wasn't even ten.After that, she was so afraid something would happen to me that she crept into my room at night to check on me. When I asked why, she said she was keeping a promise."Lindsay said we had to wait for her to come home together. And I don't want to be all alone again."I stroked her hair. For Hannah's sake, I had to keep going.Lindsay's parents soon showed up at the station. I assumed they were there to warn me away from her again

As soon as Lindsay got home, she went straight to her study. She knew exactly where to find her old phone, tucked away on the top shelf of the bookcase.For seven years, she couldn't figure out the password. This time, she typed in Eric's initials, and the phone unlocked.Thousands of photos filled the screen. The man from the waffle stand appeared in all of them.Eric. Now she had a name to go with his face.She kept scrolling and found photos of them together, from childhood all the way through college. He was beside her through every stage of her life.Only then did she grasp how much she had lost, and how important he was to her.The memories came flooding back.There was Eric in high school, so sure of himself as he announced that he was going to be the best cop in the country.Neither of them was particularly religious, but they each secretly went to a church to pray for the other's safety and brought home a St. Christopher medal for the other.Then she remembered her

Joshua did have a childhood sweetheart, and Cody was their son. But she left him years earlier because she couldn't stand life in the remote town.At the time, Joshua was a doctor at the local clinic. Some locals found Lindsay after her fall and brought her there. She remained unconscious for more than a year.The locals felt sorry for Joshua and agreed to help him lie. They told Lindsay she gave birth to Cody, then fell off a cliff and lost her memory.When the Reeds and Eric came looking for answers, the locals gave them a different version of the same lie: Lindsay fell in love with Joshua after losing her memory, and they had a child together.If even one person had called the police or taken her to a hospital, the authorities might have recovered the information she carried.Lindsay knew Joshua had used her family's connections for years to get ahead. He even became a department chief at a prestigious regional hospital.The woman who left him eventually became a patient there
