As these thoughts swirled in Joshua's mind, he felt his emotions slipping out of control bit by bit. The suppressed anger and negative feelings erupted, and he could no longer contain them. Joshua could not understand why Cynthia, who had been kind to him before, suddenly chose someone else in the blink of an eye."If you don't like me, why did you save me? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if I died?" Joshua asked Cynthia, genuinely puzzled. Cynthia frowned. Was he losing control of his emotions?Matthew approached them. Joshua's emotions were further agitated, and the negative feelings burst out uncontrollably, engulfing his heart and mind. He was about to speak, but Matthew swiftly hit his neck.Bang!Joshua passed out.Matthew caught him just in time. Cynthia was taken aback by his unexpected action. "Captain...""There's medication in my bag in my room," Matthew said. He had thought through everything carefully. "Bring it, and I'll administer it to him." Cynt
"Get up and have some food. We'll change the bandage after the meal," Cynthia urged.Joshua did not move. He had been staring at Cynthia since she entered the room. He was curious…If the past never happened, would Cynthia still choose him?Noticing that he did not answer, Cynthia asked concernedly, "What's wrong? Is the wound hurting, or do you feel unwell?""No," Joshua said hoarsely. He seemed to have made a decision as he threw off the blanket, sat up, grabbed some clothes to put on, and then stepped outside in his slippers. Each step he took felt unusually heavy.Cynthia wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.Matthew saw Joshua and observed his emotions before confirming that everything seemed fine. He asked, "Ready to eat?""Yeah," Joshua replied softly.Matthew served the reheated dishes, and Cynthia also helped set the table.Watching them interact warmly, Joshua felt a sense of melancholy. Perhaps Matthew was indeed the best person for Cynth
It seemed as if Joshua would ruin his moments every time, even though they did not have any real grudges between them!Yves noticed Sean was staring at his phone without answering and said indifferently, "These are for you. Dinner is on the table outside. Remember to eat after you're done with the call.""Yves," Sean called out to him.Yves glanced at Sean coldly.Sean felt a mix of emotions, hesitating before he asked, "Do you still care about me?""Answer the call," Yves replied and walked away, not giving a direct response to his question.Yves did not know if he still cared about Sean, but he was certain he would not forget the past, and letting Sean stay at his place was purely out of pity. As the door closed, Sean stared at his ringing phone, angry. If only Joshua did not call him, Yves would have given him an answer. After taking a deep breath, Sean finally answered the call."Mr. Neal, why are you calling me at this hour?""Are you at the base?" Joshua's tone was c
When Cynthia left the decision to recover his memories to Joshua, Sean thought it was risky. He believed Joshua would never agree to it. Yet, now...What could have happened to make Joshua give up on Cynthia?Sean felt conflicted. He wanted to ask Cynthia about it, but then he remembered Joshua's words from earlier. If he told Cynthia about Joshua's decision, the consequences would be disastrous.As these thoughts swirled in his mind, his emotions became more complex. If being rejected by Cynthia and Yves when proposing the research was upsetting, now he was questioning everything in life.Joshua's current situation had far exceeded his expectations. He went outside, finding the living room empty, and decided to look for Yves upstairs, who was engrossed in a book.Yves glanced at him but did not pay much attention."Are you busy?" Sean tried to control his emotions and approached Yves. "I want to talk to you about something.""Go ahead," Yves replied. "It's about Joshua's co
The following day, Cynthia freshened up before heading out to check on Joshua. However, she noticed a sticky note on his door.[Cynthia, I'm out with Yoel. Don't worry.]Reading the message, Cynthia texted Joshua to ask if he would return for lunch. Joshua replied that he would not be coming back. She then messaged Yoel, asking him to take care of Joshua and inform her if anything happened.Yoel replied with a simple, [Okay.]Once Cynthia confirmed that Joshua was indeed with Yoel, she felt reassured. As she was about to start preparing breakfast, Matthew came over and asked her to come for breakfast."I'll take care of your meals from now on. You don't have to bother cooking anymore," Matthew offered, knowing Cynthia was not good at cooking.Cynthia instinctively declined his offer. Matthew looked at her, reminding her, "Little Cyn.""Hmm?""I'm your boyfriend.""I know.""It's my responsibility to take care of you. Or are you planning to reject my kindness and find an excus
"Mmhmm.""Kiss me," Matthew teased with a seductive voice.Cynthia was taken aback. Kiss him?Matthew playfully tapped her forehead with his hand, obviously doting on Cynthia. "There's a gift in the middle of those flowers. Why don't you have a look?"Cynthia examined the bouquet closely and found a necklace hidden inside.She had never been interested in necklaces, earrings, or bracelets, and she rarely wore any jewelry except for formal occasions. In fact, she had not bought any new jewelry in years and often gave Shirley the latest pieces gifted by renowned brands.However, as Cynthia looked at the necklace nestled among the flowers, she found herself inexplicably drawn to it. She took it out, carefully inspecting the design, and could not help but smile.Seeing her reaction, Matthew knew he had chosen the right gift. Girls liked to be loved, after all. Despite Cynthia being excellent in all aspects, independent, and caring for others, she was ultimately just a girl who nee
With her decision made, Cynthia set out to buy a watch for Matthew after reviewing Joshua's report and condition. She visited various luxury watch brands like Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Cartier. Finally, she settled on a Patek Philippe watch and swiftly made the payment before heading home with her purchase.Meanwhile, Joshua arrived at Sean's base and called him. Sean reluctantly came, grumbling all the way, but upon seeing Joshua, he returned to his usual self. Sean smiled warmly, making others feel at ease as he greeted, "Mr. Neal.""Tell me about the risks of recovering my memories," Joshua said, standing in a perfectly tailored suit."Can I know why you want to recover your memories? Do you no longer like Cynthia?" Sean was curious and persistent about this matter.Joshua changed the topic, avoiding going into details with him. "It's none of your concern. You just need to help me recover my memories.""Aren't you afraid of losing yourself?"
"No need," Joshua refused.Sean asked, "Don't you want to say goodbye to her?" Joshua closed his eyes and did not answer the question. He could not bring himself to say goodbye to Cynthia in person. Instead, he decided to leave things as they were.Sean could not understand why Joshua would not say anything. His gaze held a mixture of complex emotions as he tried to persuade Joshua one last time, "Are you really not going to say anything?" "If you keep bothering me, I'll destroy this place. And then I'll destroy you too," Joshua threatened with irritation.Just when he had managed to suppress all his feelings for Cynthia, this man kept pestering him with questions. Did Sean not know it was tough to control one's emotions?"Alright, alright." Sean finally realized he would not get any further and sighed quietly. "Let's get started."He administered the medication into Joshua's body.Joshua's consciousness grew increasingly hazy, and soon he fell into a deep slumber.In that
