Everyone quickly left, leaving only the three of
- us.
Ethan covered his face, his eyes red. “Lily,
you hit me for him?”
“You hit him first!” I glared. “You should

apologize!
Ethan’s face was grim, his voice hoarse after
a long moment. “I was wrong… come home
with me, okay?”
He turned to Peterson, his teeth gritted. “Peterson, are you even human? Lily’s been
missing for so long, you hid her from me! You’re taking advantage of the situation!” He reached for me; I quickly hid behind
Peterson.
Suddenly, a woman, hair disheveled, burst in,
running to Ethan.
“Ethan! The doctor said I can still be cured!
We can still have a baby!”
Ethan kicked her away; she looked up at me,
her eyes venomous.
“Lily?! You’re still alive?!”
She screamed hysterically, “Ethan killed my
baby because of you!”
Several doctors rushed in and dragged her
L
away.
I whispered to Peterson, “She’s scary, so
cruel to her own woman.”
Ethan’s face was white. “Lily, what’s wrong
with you?”
“She has amnesia,” Peterson interrupted.
“She doesn’t remember anything from
before.”
Ethan knelt, his knees hitting the floor hard.
He trembled, reaching out. “Lily, I…‘
“”
“Lily! I know I was wrong!” His eyes were red,
his voice shaking, as if years of suppressed
emotion finally broke free.
“Pretending to have amnesia was my fault,
are you getting revenge on me now?”
He pulled out a crumpled pile of medical
reports, his fingers trembling slightly. “|
checked all the records, I know what you…
He choked, unable to continue.
Peterson calmly stood in front of me. “Lily,
“”

do you want to talk to him?”
“No!” I recoiled, clutching Peterson’s clothes.
Ethan tried to approach, but Peterson
stopped him with a glance.
He stood there, his voice raspy. “Lily, I’ll
prove it to you. This time, I really know I was
wrong.”
Before he could finish, I pulled Peterson
away.
I heard his muffled sobs, but didn’t turn back.
“Is he sick?” I mumbled, not realizing my
hands were still shaking.
Ethan, it seemed, had gone mad; wherever
Peterson and I went, he was always there.
He presented expensive jewelry, his eyes
pleading. “Lily, this is the blue diamond you
always wanted…”
He offered deeds to properties, his voice
tight. “I bought houses in every city you
mentioned. Wherever you want, we’ll live
レ
there…”
He even brought a star–naming certificate,
his fingers trembling. “Look, I named it ‘Lily Star‘…”
Each time, Peterson coldly sent him away. One afternoon, the sun shining, Peterson and
I were having coffee in the garden, when the gate burst open.
He stormed in with a dozen bodyguards,
impeccably dressed, holding a velvet box, kneeling before me. “Lily, whether you
remember or not, give me another chance, let me take care of you, okay?”
“Everything in the past was my fault. I’ll make
amends, and you’ll be the happiest wife.”
With a snap of his fingers, fireworks
exploded, rose petals fell, and an orchestra
appeared, playing a romantic melody.
I set down my cup, calmly looking at him.
“No.”
L
“No.”
His face turned pale. “Why? I’ve been
preparing for so long…‘
“Ethan,” I met his gaze. “You’ve always done
things your way. Peterson is right, you were
cold to me before, and now that you see
someone else has me, you want me back.
You’ve never considered my feelings.
وو
He stumbled backward, as if struck, finally
leaving dejectedly.
Days later, I received a call from an unknown
number.
The voice was heavy and strained, as if in
pain.
“Lily, I’m hurt. Come find me, okay?”
“I want to see you…
I hung up.

The next news I heard was a social media
post: Ethan Sherman, CEO of Sherman
Group, was seriously injured in a paragliding
L
accident.
Peterson looked at me, cautious, hesitant.
I laughed, pinching his cheek. “What, you
thought I’d leave you to take care of him?”
He didn’t speak, but his eyes darkened.
I tiptoed, wrapping my arms around his neck,
whispering in his ear. “You forgot? Now, I
only like you.‘
“”
He pulled me into a tight embrace, his grip
almost suffocating.
On our wedding day, Ethan appeared again.
This time, there were no hysterics, no frantic
pursuit; he simply stood silently in the corner,
watching us exchange rings.
The paragliding accident had damaged his
vocal cords; he could no longer speak.
At that moment, my memories returned
completely. I recalled his coldness, his
disregard for my feelings, his turning away
when I needed him most.
when I needed him most.
Strangely, my heart remained calm.
Sunlight fell on our clasped hands, the rings
gleaming.
I knew, this time, I had found my own
happiness.
