It felt slightly chilly as the breeze swept through the graveyard. Simon noticed Sharon shivering beside him. He immediately took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. Sharon felt the remnants of his body heat and scent on the suit jacket. It filled her with a warm sense of security. She tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder. “Howard and Fiona have finally reunited,” she said as she looked at the gravestones before them. Simon had held a funeral for Howard and buried him beside his mother, Fiona, so that both of them would have each other’s company now. Simon looked at the gravestones without saying anything. He reached out his arm to wrap it around her shoulder. There was a calm gaze in his eyes. After a while, he told the woman in his arms, “Let’s go.” He had done enough for Howard. Both of them walked out of the graveyard and got into the car that was waiting for them at the entrance. Just as the car started moving, Simon’s phone vibra
“Are you out of your mind? How can you say such nonsense?” Hayley Night walked over and hit him on the head after hearing what he said to Quincy as she entered the ward. She knew that this rascal would go soft-hearted on Quincy Lane. He should not even dream of handing everything that they had back to Quincy as long as she was around! They were now the owners of everything that the Lanes owned. He had avenged his parents’ deaths as well. Quincy Lane was now useless to them.If they did things her way, Quincy would have died long ago. She would not have had the chance to fall into a vegetative state.Dayton frowned as he looked at his aunt. “I didn’t lose my mind! I meant everything I said!” he shouted in an unpleasant tone.Quincy’s parents had passed away. He had taken his revenge. There was no need to continue tormenting her.“No, you didn’t mean that. You’re just feeling guilty because you think that you’re the reason why she’s in her current state. You want to compensate
Quincy opened her mouth to say something, and her hoarse voice escaped her throat. Dayton did not know if it was because she had not spoken in a long time or because her throat was dry. Dayton, who had been staring at her in a daze, returned to his senses. He got up in a hurry and tried to help her. However, he was afraid that he would hurt her by touching her wounds.He withdrew the arm that he had extended toward her. He usually did things simply and quickly, but he could not even speak smoothly now. “I… I’ll pour some water for you… Ah, I have to notify the doctor too…”He wanted to call the doctor over and take water for her at the same time. He was suddenly at a loss for what to do. Dayton took in a deep breath. He turned around so that he was not facing her and slapped himself across the face! It hurt! It really hurt! He turned around to look at her straight away. Her eyes were wide open. She was truly awake. He was not seeing things. He was so happy that it was h
The doctor confirmed that her brain was severely injured this time around. She was showing signs of amnesia now. “She… really lost her memories?” Dayton was still in a state of disbelief. “Yes, she no longer remembers anything from the past,” the doctor said. “She doesn’t remember anything?” Dayton asked once again. The doctor frowned and said, “She doesn’t even recognize you. That means that she doesn’t remember much.”Dayton stopped talking and lowered his eyes. Confusion suddenly filled his mind. The doctor was right. Quincy did not even recognize him. She must not remember anything from the past anymore. After all, he had grown up together with her. If she no longer remembered anything, that meant that she did not remember what he had done to her parents as well. She no longer remembered that he had taken everything from the Lanes. Suddenly, he felt a mix of joy and sadness. He was happy because she had forgotten all about those memories. It was a good thing
Quincy was stunned after hearing what Dayton had said. She stared at him in disbelief. Although she had lost all her memories from the past, a wave of gut-wrenching pain erupted from her heart and washed over her entire body after he told her that her parents had passed away in the car accident. Uncontrollable sadness overcame her as tears flowed down her face. “Dad, Mom...” she cried out softly in a ragged voice. Dayton clenched his fists and reached out to embrace her after seeing her cry. He caressed her head pitifully and whispered, “Don’t be upset. Nobody expected this to happen. If Uncle and Aunt know that you’re still alive, they’ll surely feel extremely reassured in heaven.” He looked straight ahead as he comforted her. He would take good care of Quincy Lane in the future. The Lanes should rest in peace. Quincy was extremely upset. She did not know what to say. She felt exhausted after crying for some time. Dayton took her face in his hands and wiped away the s
Dayton’s expression darkened as he said, “Aunt, I have to tell you this in advance. Quincy has lost her memories. She no longer remembers anything from the past, so you’d better not talk nonsense in front of her.”Hayley was beyond shocked after registering his words. “What did you say? She’s lost her memories?” She took some time to process this news.“So she no longer remembers everything about you taking revenge on the Lanes?” Dayton did not clarify everything to her straight away, but his expression told her all that she needed to know. “I’ll marry her after she recovers. I want to make her my wife,” he said after that. Hayley was stunned once again. She found it hard to accept. “You’re going to marry her?” She pondered upon it for a while and finally figured out his intentions. Her anger vanished at once. She chuckled and patted his shoulder. “I thought that you were out of your mind but it turns out this was your idea all along.” “It’s a good idea! After you marry
Sharon was just about to make her way over when one of Dayton’s men stopped her. Quincy stared at her suspiciously. “Who’s she?” Dayton’s eyes gleamed darkly but he still spoke to her in a soft and gentle tone, “She’s one of my friends. She’s here to look for me. I’ll go over and have a chat with her.” He asked Quincy to wait for him where she was before walking over to Sharon. Sharon sneered when she noticed that he was not allowing her to approach Quincy. “Dayton Night, you’re too much! Do you really think that Quincy belongs to you? Does she not have the right to meet her friends?” Dayton grabbed hold of her hand without saying anything. He dragged her away and only stopped when they were a distance away from Quincy. Sharon flung off his hand and fixed an odd gaze on him. “Why did you drag me here? I’m here to see Quincy, not you.” She had nothing to say to him. Sharon turned around and was about to walk toward Quincy when he told her, “She lost her memory.” S
“I have my own limits. I won’t say anything to trigger her emotions right now, unlike how you’re lying to her.” Dayton did not want to argue with her. “You have ten minutes. Leave after telling her everything that you want to say.” She had not even seen Quincy. Was he starting to drive her away already? Sharon smiled coldly. It was up to her when she would leave. Under Dayton’s company, or to be more accurate, his supervision, she made her way in front of Quincy. Quincy was seated in her wheelchair. After seeing Sharon, she raised her head to look at her curiously. She smiled and asked, “Who are you?” “I’m your friend, Sharon Jeans. Dayton told me that you lost your memory, so you’ve forgotten all about me as well,” Sharon said as she looked into her gaze.Quincy had an apologetic expression on her face. “I’ve forgotten everything from the past. I’m really sorry for forgetting you as well.” “It’s alright, but you must remember me from now onward.” Dayton was not lyi
