Chapter 567 I Would Rather Be Sober in Pain
Under the gaze of the man, Shirley couldn’t help being a little nervous. With a little expectation, she tentatively asked, “Why do you think I treat you so ‘generally’?”
She didn’t know if he had recovered his memory and deliberately pretended to be confused.
If so, then his acting skills were comparable to a world-class actor, whose skills were superb and impeccable.
“A woman can give everything to a man unconditionally only because she loves this man. So can I guess that you are so ‘general’ to me because you love me too much?”
Braden directly asked the question that had troubled him for nearly half a year.
Because his experience in the ‘MTW Center’ was very special, he could still feel how much Shirley cared about him no matter how dull he was.
With such doubts in mind, he returned to the nursing home later. It was only then that he realized how much the woman loved him, that she used her blood as his medicine.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. Since this woman cared so much about him, why did she just disappear without saying a word?
“Love you so much?”
Shirley shook her head, and said in a teasing tone, ’Is there a possibility that I am the contemporary Good Samaritan? I’m willing to help others and do good deeds without leaving a name. It is purely because of my good character, right?”
“Don’t joke. There are many ways to be nice to people. You risk your life to save me. If it’s not because of love, what else could it be?”
“Hahaha, Mr. Stewart, are you so lacking in love that you’re asking for other people to love you? Have you ever thought that if a woman pays for a man without thinking of anything in return, there is another possibility? Maybe she’s atoning. What do you think?”
Shirley’s gaze changed from dodging to sharpening. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
If a man insisted on getting to the bottom of her, then she could only show him the ugly ‘scars’, so that he can see the sinister mind and the cruelty of reality!
Braden’s expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, ’Atone?”
“Don’t you remember at all how you lost your eyesight? How did you feel so badly that you needed brain surgery?”
“I…”
Braden frowned. Many pictures flashed in his mind like a slideshow, but he couldn’t put together a complete one. He said in a low voice, “I heard from my mother that I was blind because of my enemies. I did lose a part of the memory. Could it be that this part of the memory happens to be related to you?”
He held his head, trying to recall something more, but there seemed to be a thin thread in his brain, which tied the lost memory. Whenever he wanted to touch it, his head felt heavy and painful!
“Don’t think about it if you can’t remember it. It’s not a good memory. I’m not a good person. There is no hatred for no reason, let alone love for no reason.”
Shirley said rather indifferently.
She would rather a man completely forget her, even hate her, than love her but not have her.
Because she knew better than anyone that it was heartbroken to love a woman but couldn’t have her.
It was enough that her to bear this kind of pain alone. There was no need to involve him.
Braden shook his head fiercely, trying to keep himself calm. He grabbed Shirley’s wrist with a big palm and said coldly, “I, Braden, don’t want to be a fool. Since there is no love for no reason or hatred for no reason in this world, then tell me, what is the reason that makes you treat me like this?”
“So, what if I tell you? If I tell you that it’s all my fault to make you go blind, will you take revenge for me? If you will, you can do it now. My eyes are here, you can take them all!’
Shirley closed her eyes with a painful expression, like a death row prisoner, waiting for the man’s final verdict.
Braden stared at the woman’s beautiful face, which was full of stories. He didn’t believe any word she said.
“Impossible. If you want to harm me, why would you risk your life to save me? This is fairly contradictory!”
“Because I regret it. I’m afraid that the Stewart family will retaliate against me. Is it okay?’
“Then why do you want to kill me? What’s the hatred between us that requires you to risk of being revenged to hurt me?”
”1 don’t know. I don’t know anything. Let me go!”
Shirley was about to be defeated by the man.
He was verbose and hard to fool.
If she had known that he was so difficult to deal with, she would never have come out to ‘chat’ with him.
It was embarrassing.
“It’s getting late. I’m going back to rest. You can think about it yourself!”
Shirley shook off the man’s hand vigorously, stood up, and prepared to leave.
“If you don’t make it clear, I won’t let you go.”
Braden grabbed the woman’s wrist, and his voice was full of pain, “Please tell me the truth, these questions have troubled me for half a year. I’m going to marry my fiancee soon. If I don’t figure it out, I feel very sorry for her.”
“What exactly are you trying to figure out?”
“I want to know why I have such a special feeling for you, and what kind of past is there between us?”
Braden was so smart, and his perception ability was also top-notch.
From the moment he had brain surgery and woke up for the first time, he could feel the wonderful magnetic field between them when he saw her.
She avoided talking with him. The strange reaction further confirmed that this woman was unusual.
If this issue was not clarified, and he married Alina, it would be unfair to everyone!
“You mean, you have to understand clearly before you can marry Alina peacefully, right?”
Shirley stopped struggling and asked Braden seriously.
“You can think so.’
Braden nodded and admitted frankly.
The closer the marriage got, the stronger this feeling became.
However, in order not to make Alina feel sad, he hid these emotions very well.
“Then if you find out…you find out that I am your love, do you want to give up Alina?”
Shirley explored cautiously.
Braden didn’t say anything.
Braden lowered his head and kept silent.
He didn’t know. He didn’t know.
There was no doubt that Alina was his current love, and he never thought of giving up on women.
If there was such a person, whom he once loved deeply, but was accidentally lost by him, and he loved her again, he didn’t know what choice he would make.
“Look, you don’t know how to take the next step. So why complicate the situation and ask for trouble?”
Shirley said sharply.
“Perhaps, when I know the truth, I would know how to take the next step.
So, I still hope that you can tell me.”
Braden insisted on asking clearly.
He would rather have lucid pain than numb happiness!
Seeing that the man was so resolute, Shirley’s heart was a little moved, “It’s not impossible to tell you the truth.’
