Chapter 15
“Change Ariana’s medicine, let her experience the same pain as Mandy, and give her real treatment after a week.”
“Lives are at stake, Ariana, when did you become like this!”

Her head was hurting too much, causing Ariana to clutch her chest tightly and curl up her body..
Many images raced through my mind, breaking through the barriers of my brain, and finally settling into two distinct scenes.
The children in the bags were beaten with sticks, their bones crushed with each kick, and pools of horrifying blood…
In the closed, terrifying room, there were a group of disgusting and sleazy men, with hands that were rotten and bodies that were disgusting and filthy.
Ariana vomited a mouthful of blood and completely lost her mind.
While Ariana was suffering from a splitting headache, the crazy woman ran away silently.

Eric changed into a clean white shirt, bunch of daisies, and booked a fireworks display on the mountaintop.
Many years ago, he knelt down on one knee like this, asking Ariana to be his girlfriend.
Today, he dug out clothes from many years ago and eagerly rushed to

Ariana’s place.
Even if Zaiden killed him, even if Ariana refused to see him.
He would kneel today just to see Ariana appear, and then give her a memory from many years ago.

He couldn’t believe that after so many years of loving each other, Ariana really didn’t have any feelings at all!
At the thought of this, a hint of smile appeared on Eric’s lips for the first time in months.
Unexpectedly, the Morrison family’s door opened and they were able to see Ariana quite smoothly.
At the gate, Ariana stood quietly, looking down from above.
“Ariana……”
Eric raised the daisy in his hand, nervous yet hopeful, feeling awkward and inexperienced like a seventeen or eighteen–year–old boy.
Ariana lifted her head, her expression no longer as clear and confused as
before.
She stared straight at Eric, her eyes shining frighteningly.
“Eric, I remembered everything.”
With a buzz in his brain, Eric had only one thought.
It’s all over!
Ariana remembered everything and she would definitely not forgive him!
“Ariana, what have you remembered?”
Eric cautiously inquired.
His fingertips trembled, with only his own chaotic heartbeat and rapid breathing in his ears.
The hatred in Ariana’s eyes was overwhelming, burning so fiercely that her eyes turned completely crimson.

“I remember how you betrayed me, Mandy.”
“I remember how you personally beat Oliver to death with a stick, crushed his bones inch by inch, and threw his body into a mass grave to feed the dogs!”
“I remember how you locked me up with four men, letting them insult and. beat me, ignoring my cries for mercy…”
Scene after scene of past horrors flashed before Ariana’s eyes, causing her to unconsciously clench her fists until blood seeped from her palms.
“Plop.”
Eric suddenly knelt in front of Ariana, bowing his head in pain, his eyes filled with sorrow and self–blame.
“Ariana, I’m sorry! You can do whatever you want to me…‘
Pain, regret, and resentment surged over Eric like a tidal wave.
Ariana’s eyes were filled with ice.
“Can a simple “I’m sorry” cover up your betrayal and hurt?”
“Can a simple apology bring Oliver back to life?”
“Can a simple apology make up for all the harm I have suffered?”

Eric’s back collapsed inch by inch.
Those hurts, he couldn’t make up for any of them!
Eric crawled over on his knees, reaching Ariana’s side, just like how Ariana had crawled on her knees crying to Eric when Oliver was caught
in the bag.
