Eulalia, trying to ignore the weird feeling in her gut, watched Evadne change her shoes and asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"Evadne, all smiles, said, "Not yet.""Perfect, stay and have lunch with us then."Evadne gladly accepted.Jonas made two cups of juice. Evadne took hers, stuck a straw in it, and began sipping slowly, a smile playing on her lips and an eyebrow raised, eyeing Eulalia over her drink.She looked her up and down, finally chuckling softly while focusing on Eulalia's hands.Eulalia suddenly felt as if she was standing naked under Evadne's scrutiny, an uncomfortable and indefinable feeling, and she didn’t know what to say to make her stop.Deep down, Eulalia wasn’t a fan of Percival's "sister" Evadne. She was sure they had met before she lost her memory, but what had happened between them wasn't simple."Better safe than sorry," she thought, especially now that she couldn't remember whether her past experiences with Evadne were good or bad."Did we get along well befor
Eulalia thought she was too easy to please. Just the other day, she gave Percival a chance to woo her, and tonight, she was already in bed with him, completely disarmed and defeated. Even though she had amnesia and felt a bit foolish, the feelings buried in her heart weren't something that could be simply forgotten with memory loss. Percival had become like a seed planted in her heart, growing into a towering tree over time. Clinging to his sturdy shoulders, she kept whispering "Percival" with a sweet voice that was utterly devastating. Percival was gentle, treating her like fragile crystal, every move filled with caution, even his breathing was careful and tremulous. Perhaps the unexpected visit from Evadne today scared him, so tonight he was eager to possess Eulalia, as if only by doing so could he feel her presence beside him, ensuring she wouldn't leave him. Percival loved to kiss Eulalia
Eulalia's attention was all over the place, bouncing from the movie to the couple in front of her. She just couldn't keep her focus.For a moment, Eulalia zoned out, everything in front of her blurring as if obscured by something.The woman in the movie really had it rough, from her naive young love and sweet promises to memories buried deep in her heart.Struck with Alzheimer's, she forgot everyone but the one she loved, only to be ultimately rejected by him.Eulalia couldn't help but see herself in the movie. Her memory was getting worse, and despite her hope that medication would help, it was now even fuzzier than before.She began to worry that she might have Alzheimer's too. Would Percival leave her if she ended up like the woman in the movie?Caught in her fears, Eulalia's mind started to wander uncontrollably."Idiot." The man sitting next to her suddenly spoke up, snapping Eulalia out of her thoughts and easing the tightness in her chest.The movie went on. Suddenly, her shoul
"Don't tell me we're so close that I have to tell you everything?" At that moment, Eulalia was like a hedgehog.Trent just laughed, now that Eulalia had lost her memory, she probably didn't even know what was wrong with her.He looked straight into her eyes, unabashed: "I just wanted to check in on you, worried that you might not even know what's wrong with yourself."Eulalia furrowed her brow, not understanding his point. Didn't she know her own body?She was deeply skeptical of his words, her brows furrowed as she was about to speak, but then her phone rang. She flipped it over and saw it was Percival calling.In her new phone, she only had five contacts: Percival, Oliver, Mr. Lee, Ms. Hayak, Ms. Jonas. Percival was the one she contacted the most. She answered the call, her voice soft."Did you take your medicine?"Hearing Percival's voice, the gloom in Eulalia's heart instantly cleared, and she felt much better, her furrowed brow relaxing and her lips curling slightly."I did, just
At that moment, Percival was in his corporate office, dealing with work, unsettled and agitated because of the phone call he had just made with Eulalia.He couldn’t concentrate on the words on his computer screen, his temples throbbing with pain. He sat in his leather chair, supporting his head with his left hand, his right hand holding an unfinished cigarette.His phone on the desk suddenly vibrated. Percival slightly turned his head to look.Seeing the name on the message, his deep black eyes turned even darker, looking gloomy without a hint of warmth.He opened the message, and upon seeing the photos inside, every cell in his body seemed to ignite.There were five photos in total, featuring Trent and Eulalia.From the photos, their close interactions made it seem like they were the affectionate couple. In the cinema, the man leaned on Eulalia's shoulder, and in the restaurant, they sat at a table for couples, along with the photo of Eulalia adding Percival on FB.Beyond anger, Perc
"Is Eulalia back?" Percival asked Lee the second he got back to the villa."She's back, should still be in her room sleeping."She's really chilled out, able to sleep at a time like this.Percival's brows were furrowed, his eyes slightly squinted, his face an iron shade of blue, muscles on his face twitching as he struggled to suppress an emotion he'd bottled up for a long time.Percival glanced coldly upstairs and headed straight to the bedroom. He didn't bother changing his shoes; his leather shoes clicked sharply and hurriedly on the floor, hinting at his repressed feelings.Lee, a bit worried, told Hayak and the others, "You guys stay down here, I'll go check."Hayak looked worried. "Percival doesn’t seem too happy. Hope these two don’t start fighting."Jonas tried to reassure her, "Shouldn't be an issue. After all, Percival loves his wife so much."Emotions are tricky; once doubt creeps in, it creates a rift.Lee shook his head and quietly followed upstairs.Percival didn’t hesit
Just the thought of Eulalia being taken away by Trent made Percival want to tear the woman before him into pieces and swallow her whole.Percival clenched his teeth, his grip on Eulalia's chin so tight as if he wanted to crush it.Eulalia felt like her heart was being sliced open. Her lips pursed, tears streaming down her face—was this really her husband? Preferring to believe those few photos over her words, he seemed to suspect she was some kind of socialite who could take any man to bed.Her eyes, barely holding back the pain, she rasped, “Percival, what does it matter to you who I meet or what I do? What right do you have to restrict my freedom? I’m a person, not a canary you keep caged.”Percival's eyes were icy, as if frozen, he nodded with gritted teeth, “What are we to each other? Do I need to prove it to you?”As his words fell, a ripping sound echoed—Eulalia’s silk nightgown was torn apart by Percival. She barely had time to cover herself before his kisses, rough and biting,
Percival went all out on Eulalia as a form of punishment, and only realized afterward that he hadn’t taken any precautions.Eulalia, who had stomach cancer and couldn't get pregnant, got up quickly and straightened her clothes before leaving the room.Lying in bed, Eulalia felt incredibly heavy, struggling to even move a finger. She lay on her side, watching Percival leave the room. When he came back, he had a glass of water and a pill in his hand.“Take this.”Looking at the pill in his hand, Eulalia felt a chill. What else could it be but a morning-after pill?Well, that was probably for the best. If by some accident she got pregnant, she wouldn’t be able to leave him then.Percival stood by the bed, his expression cold and detached, looking down at her. Eulalia took a deep breath and, gathering all her strength, her hand trembling, she picked up the pill and put it in her mouth.Normally, she needed half a glass of water to swallow a pill, but now she chewed it up and forced it dow
