Chapter 17
She was like a tired little bird, relying heavily on Zaiden, following him. around all day and never letting go of his hand.
After finding out about Ariana’s identity and experiences, Zaiden decisively took her abroad for her to recuperate.
It wasn’t until three months later that Ariana fully recovered and Zaiden brought her back to their home country.
He thought, since Ariana had forgotten the past, he would just stay by her side like this.
Until she regained her memory.
Unexpectedly, on the first day back in the country, the two of them. became a trending topic, which made Eric rediscover Ariana.
Ariana stared at Zaiden, her hand hidden behind her involuntarily
clenched.
“So, knowing about my past, do you still want to stay with me?”
During the three months of amnesia, she had become too dependent on Zaiden, with him being the only thing in her world.
Zaiden’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, as he struggled to keep his emotions in check.
“The decision–making power has never been in my hands, but in yours.”
Ariana was stunned for a moment, her eyes turning red at the corners.

A few seconds later, she turned her head, blinked hard, and suppressed the moisture in her eyes.
“Zaiden, you didn’t have to be so nice to me.
Zaiden held Ariana’s hand.
“Come on, I’ll take you somewhere.”
Zaiden took Ariana to the cemetery.
There stood a small tombstone, with the words “Oliver’s grave” inscribed on it.
In front of the tombstone, there was also a Superman toy and plenty of snacks that children liked.
Obviously, someone has been taking care of this place meticulously.
As soon as Ariana saw it, her whole body began to shake uncontrollably.
Her body went limp, she knelt down, caressing the tombstone, tears streaming down her face.
“Oliver…”
Zaiden squatted down and began arranging the offerings in front of the
grave.
“I thought that one day you would regain your memory, and when that time comes, the only thing you will care about is this.”
Therefore, it was only after Zaiden had figured out Ariana’s identity. during her amnesia period that he immediately went to the pauper’s grave to retrieve Oliver’s body.
Unfortunately, it was already too late when we arrived, and we could only

find some wreckage.
Zaiden buried Oliver here, thinking that in case one day Ariana. remembers, she won’t have any regrets.

Ariana bent her back, her shoulders shaking violently, tears falling like raindrops from between her fingers.
The trembling, silent sobbing was heart–wrenching to hear.
After a long time, Ariana finally calmed down.
She touched Oliver’s tombstone, her eyes filled with deep–seated hatred.
“Oliver, this grudge, Mom will definitely avenge for you!”
Ariana stood up and bent deeply at the waist to give Zaiden a respectful
bow.
As soon as her head lowered, it was gently supported by a pair of long and powerful hands.
“If it’s about saying thank you, then there’s no need.”
Feeling the deep and intense gaze of Zaiden, Ariana’s heart was in a state of panic.
“I didn’t know how to thank you for all that you did for me!”
Sensing Ariana’s panic, Zaiden reined in the surging emotions in his eyes.
“I never thought about seeking revenge. But, if you need help getting revenge, do you want me to help you?”
Ariana has been hurt so badly, she needs to take it slow and steady, step by step.

The future is long, he couldn’t scare Ariana away all at once.
Understanding Zaiden’s good intentions, Ariana shook her head.
Some accounts had to be calculated by oneself.
And some grudges, must be avenged by one’s own hands!
The sky gradually darkened, and the rain gradually stopped.
