Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 255
The success of our experiment meant the AI chip we had developed was able to stimulate damaged nerves, similar to how a pacemaker worked. This also meant we would be able to help those who were paralyzed due to nerve damage. Our AI chip could help them walk again!"I knew you could do it, Emi! I always did!" Mr. Holland exclaimed.He was usually calm and composed. However, right now, he was so emotional that he hugged me. His eyes were even glistening with tears.Tears welled up in my eyes too. I finally felt I had lived up to Mr. Holland's confidence in me and the ambitious person I once was. I also hadn't let down the people who trusted and believed in me.Irvin had been keeping a close eye on our lab, so he was the first outside of it to hear about our success. When he did, he was even more excited than I was."You're truly amazing, Emi!" he exclaimed.Now that I had completed my research, he was happy because he could resume helping me regain my memories through hypnosis.

The cruise ship was already in international waters.I knew my kidnapper. He was Leo Kade.Leo was an investor who had repeatedly approached our research lab in the past. However, I kept rejecting his offer as I sensed he had ill intentions. We didn't lack funding, either. Thus, we never accepted his offers, regardless of how many times he approached us."You really are a genius among geniuses, Ms. Quill. In just a year, you've created a miracle. But it's such a waste to use your impressive breakthrough on disabled paraplegics. So how about you work with us instead? Together, we could make a lot of money in the future!" Leo said.He was a bad person, as I had suspected.Leo belonged to a major criminal organization. Their group wanted me to use my research to develop a chip that could control the human central nervous system. They intended to use it to infiltrate certain places. Then, it would be easier for them to carry out their criminal activities."Forget it!" I replied.It

Irvin's expression tensed, and he immediately grabbed me and started running toward the main deck.Unfortunately, I couldn't see clearly and stepped on a nail as we ran. The pain instantly paralyzed me. Seeing this, Irvin quickly hoisted me into his arms and continued running.People started to surround us from all directions. Irvin's men swiftly cut the power on the ship, plunging it into darkness. However, our opponents were well-prepared because the lights soon came back on.We were trapped!As I watched Irvin's men fall one by one, I urged him to put me down."They won't kill me because they need my expertise, but that isn't the same for you. You have to run!" I cried.With his skills, Irvin wouldn't have a problem escaping if he left me behind."No!" he firmly replied.Instead of releasing me, he tightened his hold and sprinted toward the main deck.I was about to struggle against him when he spoke again."These people belong to the largest criminal organization in the w

Irvin thought this wasn't all bad. Now that he was about to die, he could finally allow me to be happy and would never make me suffer again.He looked at the men charging toward him. With no strength left to run, he slumped against the railing and slid to the floor.Irvin's smile became rueful as he pulled a remote out of his pocket.He had his men install bombs all over the cruise ship. Initially, he had planned on detonating them after we had successfully escaped so they couldn't chase after us.He had also had two remotes made, just in case. One was with Quinton, who would immediately detonate the bombs once they had escaped. Irvin had kept the other as a backup should the rescue mission fail.Now, it was time to put his backup into play. He would do one last thing for me, ensuring I would escape safely, once and for all.…Someone grabbed me as soon as I fell into the water and swam with me in tow toward a speedboat.My mind was still in disarray when I realized the person

The night breeze by the harbor was enchantingly gentle.Julianne watched from an extravagant balcony as something in the distance illuminated the sky. She felt utterly content as she sipped from her wine glass.Mr. Ashford was an unfathomable and unpredictable man. However, his generosity toward her was real. He had also taken her to heights she had never reached before and made her feel she could easily do anything.She gazed out at the vast sea in the distance. Now that I had been taken away, I could forget about ever escaping from that cage. This thought filled her with so much joy that she spun around in delight.Who would have imagined Julianne's life would take such an unexpected turn?That was right, she wasn't Lumi Calder—she was Julianne Sinclair!When Julianne was facing a 10-year prison sentence, she had abandoned all hope and had even considered taking her own life in her detention cell. She had thought her life was ruined. Not only did that not happen, but she had

I had watched helplessly from the speedboat as the cruise ship blew apart and Irvin perished with it. Then, my memories of him suddenly came rushing back. I remembered the overwhelming love I had for him. At the time, my emotions had been so intense and uncontrollable. However, I didn't feel the same surge of emotions now that I was awake. I didn't know how to describe how I was feeling. It was a mixture of pain and sorrow. I wanted to cry, and I also wished Irvin was still alive.However, unlike on the speedboat, the feeling wasn't unbearable. And I wasn't wishing I had been in Irvin's place on the ship instead.Despite having my memories back, I hadn't reverted to my past self—the one who loved Irvin so deeply that she couldn't live without him. However, I also wasn't the version of myself who hated him because of the amnesia.I had no idea how I felt about him now, but it honestly didn't matter. All I cared about was that he might still be alive. He couldn't have died for me
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 261
Quinton glowered at Noah. He had the urge to comment on how I already had another guy hanging around me when Irvin's death still hadn't been confirmed. However, he held his tongue when he saw Mr. Ashford sipping on whiskey not too far away.Noah had enlisted Mr. Ashford's help. That was how we found so much manpower to help dredge the open sea. Mr. Ashford was also the reason Kade's major criminal organization had backed off.Irvin might be dead right now. But even if he was here, Quinton knew their combined efforts still wouldn't be a match for Mr. Ashford. Hence, he had no choice but to tolerate Noah no matter how strong his dislike was.Julianne was like Mr. Ashford's shadow. And, since he was here, she naturally was too. Her fists clenched with frustration as she surveyed the aftermath of her carefully planned incident.She didn't understand how I could be so lucky. Once again, I had made it out of the incident unscathed. Meanwhile, something had happened to Irvin instead. Ho

"Irvin also asked me to tell you not to be sad or heartbroken over what happened to him," Quinton said. "He told me he was sorry for what he had done to you. "He also felt it would take multiple lifetimes for him to make it up to you. But even then, he felt it still wouldn't be enough—not even if he had died a thousand times."Irvin hoped you'd be happy once he was gone. He knows he promised to stay out of your sight after the divorce, so he also hoped you wouldn't think he deserved what happened to him."He took a shaky breath before continuing, "Irvin—He initially wanted me to hold on to his ID card, but after thinking about it, I decided you should have it."His father's actions really had psychologically scarred him, Emilia. It made him especially fearful that the people he loved most weren't being genuine toward him. Irvin had misunderstood you because of this fear."In truth, he really did love you very much. So please, try to forgive him. I hope the day will come when you'

"How could you take advantage of your position to seduce my husband! How could you knowingly become the other woman!" Grace accused.The photo she showed me on her phone was from when Irvin hugged me tightly after standing up from his wheelchair.When I first saw it, I was stunned. But then, it hit me—we had been watched this whole time!Based on the direction the photo was taken from, it could have only been taken from outside my work studio's window. And given that my studio was on the 10th floor, there was no way a random passerby snapped the photo by chance.Plus, the camera angle of the photo indicated it wasn't a coincidental shot. Someone had clearly been watching us from a floor above in the adjacent building.I also realized I had never closed the curtains in my studio. So, if someone had been watching us the entire time, they definitely knew Irvin had long since regained full use of his legs—which meant the Hardwells no longer needed my services.Thus, here came the poi

The young man's ability to stand again had filled his family with overwhelming joy. Coincidentally, it was also his 17th birthday, so they threw a grand birthday party and invited me to attend.I couldn't refuse. I was genuinely happy for him, so I went.Since his family was acquainted with William, they were undoubtedly influential figures in Lestoria. Therefore, the Hardwells were also invited.When I saw Grace pushing Irvin's wheelchair into the venue, attending the party as a married couple, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.I must really be a hopeless romantic.I had planned to use the time spent treating Irvin's legs to treat my withdrawal symptoms from him. I wanted my final decision to be cutting him out of my life completely.But instead of letting go—as I had hoped—the time we spent together only reminded me how good he once was to me.Even though I knew he had no choice, my heart still ached to see him with another woman.I truly…I really hated how I was. It made me

Because of Agatha's favoritism and stubbornness, Magnus had been growing increasingly impatient with her. "I think I've made myself very clear," he said, leaving no room for further discussion."Magnus, you can't do this! You can't just forget about Tim so soon! How could you treat him this way? Let me tell you—"Before she could finish, Magnus cut her off with a stern shout. "Enough! This is not up for discussion. I don't want to hear another word about it. Just leave!"Magnus' authority was absolute in the Hardwell family. Once he made a decision, Agatha had no power to change it no matter what.Though unwilling and displeased, she had no choice but to leave.As soon as Grace returned home, she was informed about the argument between Magnus and Agatha. She immediately rushed to find Agatha.The moment Agatha saw Grace, tears streamed down her face.Upon hearing that the argument had been about Irvin's hypnosis, Grace finally told her the truth, that Irvin had been faking it.

Grace had always wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power.The man beside her raised an eyebrow and suggested, "Then don't let her die. Force her into a dead-end and offer a hand, so she can be used by us."Grace chuckled but said nothing.Now that she had the picture she wanted, there was no need to continue watching. She withdrew her gaze and returned to the couch in the room.After taking a bottle of collagen, she finally looked at the man sitting across from her. "At the rate Irvin is recovering, he'll be fully healed in at most two to three weeks. Have you made all the preparations I asked for?" she asked."Of course! When have I ever failed to complete a task you gave me?" he replied confidently.Grace's lips curled into a smile. "Great."Seeing how she smiled so casually, completely without any hesitation or pain, the man couldn't help but comment. "Ms. Keller, you're ruthless indeed."Grace lowered her gaze and gently stroked her belly. She didn't respond.That night
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 307
Since Irvin had lost his memories, his behavior had regressed to that of his younger self.Although he had difficulty moving and had to avoid the Hardwells, he still prepared small surprises for me every time he came for treatment. Just like how he did when he was pursuing me.Just like when we were newlyweds.No matter how busy or exhausted he was, he always put in the effort to prepare something for me, whether it was a bouquet of flowers, a ticket to a movie I wanted to watch, or a dessert I loved.We were poor back then, and the things he gave me weren't worth much, but I was moved to tears every single time. After all, he was always thoughtful and affectionate. The eyes that were once cold and indifferent now burned with compassion and sincerity. Those naturally affectionate eyes gazed at me with so much love, as if I were his entire world.His one and only.That kind of love was irresistible, drawing me in.And I couldn't help but wonder, if none of it had happened, if

"I'm sorry, babe. Do you not like sunflowers? I… I saw online that…" Irvin stammered.He had searched for information about me online and discovered that I loved sunflowers, so he secretly hid one to give me. But I ended up crying instead of taking it with joy. Snapping out of it, I forced a smile and accepted the flower. "I do love it. Thank you."He stared at me, unsure if I was truly happy or just pretending."But don't call me 'babe' anymore. We're divorced." I couldn't bear to hear him say it in the same affectionate tone as before. That genuine, affectionate tone would only make me feel bad for him.And I didn't want to feel that way.Irvin, who was already anxious, panicked at my words. He grabbed my hands and said, "Babe, I couldn't find anything about what happened between us, but I know that it must have been my fault if we got divorced. "I'll make sure to be good from now on and listen to everything you say. Please, just give me another chance."Irvin had always
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 305
Adolescence was already a time when emotions are most unstable, making it easy to act impulsively and engage in risky behaviors. Being treated that way by my own family, I walked into the ocean, one step at a time.I wanted to die.I wanted them to regret, to suffer, to have everyone condemn them for killing their own daughter over an adopted one.I was so foolish back then, thinking I could punish them with my death. I completely forgot that they needed to actually care about me to feel remorse and pain for losing me. If they didn't care, it wouldn't matter if I died a thousand times.Using my own death to punish others is the most foolish thing in the world. I came to that realization when I was on the brink of death. I struggled, trying to make my way back to shore, desperate to survive. But then, a huge wave dragged me under, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stand up. I didn't know how to swim back then.Just when I thought I was going to die, a tall young man do

I comforted Mr. Holland for a long time before he finally felt better and ate some oatmeal.When I got home that night, I pulled out Irvin's medical records and the reports of his treatment with various devices. I analyzed his responses to the treatment to plan the next steps. I wasn't sure how I felt about Irvin, so I chose to ignore it completely and focus solely on treating his legs.If his legs could recover and function properly again, we would be even. No matter what happened in the future, I would take it one step at a time.Things would work out eventually.By the time I finished comparing all the data and finalized the device frequency settings for Irvin's treatment the next day, it was already past 1:00 am.I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep immediately.Ever since my injuries from falling off the cliff, I needed sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. When I lost my memory, I thought my insomnia was due to the pain. But after my memories returned, I realized

William recalled that at the time of his accident, Cordelia and I had also been vacationing on the island.Although he didn't think it was possible, he instinctively asked anyway.I had assumed that William's intimidating presence on the way here was because he was angry at me for not answering his question.I never expected him to suddenly ask such a thing.Although I didn't know why, my first instinct was to admit that I had saved someone while I was on the island.But before I could say anything, his phone rang. It seemed like an urgent call. After answering it, he hurriedly told me he would send someone else to pick me up before leaving in his car.Feeling bad for troubling him when he was so busy, I sent him a message. I told him that he didn't need to send anyone and that I would call my own driver instead.William didn't reply to my text.Instead, Noah called. "Emi, there's an emergency at home. I have to leave for a while. Wait for me, I'll be right back." he said.W
