“Fighting for a chance? So, you took my clothes off to fight for a chance? Since when did you like doing this kind of thing?”
“As I said, I just wanted to see your injury. I just wanted to know how it was healing,” she said.
B Gifts “Really?” He suddenly got up and released her hand. Then, he lifted his hands and removed his white shirt in front of her.
She immediately caught sight of the hideous scar again. It was a clearer view than earlier.
She looked blankly at his injury while feeling the urge to cry. She was already tearing up. “Does the wound still hurt?”
“It’s been more than two months. Does it hurt for you?” he asked indifferently.
He was not in pain, so he must be fine. “I’m sorry I made you suffer so much for me…”
Martin Weiss said coldly, “I didn’t do it for you but to fulfill my wishes before the hypnosis. Now that you’ve seen the wound, don’t take off my clothes randomly anymore.”
He said as he bent down, and their cheeks were so close together. His fingers grabbed her jaw, and he brushed the tip of his thumb against her lips. “Believe me. I have no interest in you!”
With that said, he turned around and left the yard.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss’s leaving figure. Her wrist still held the lingering heat from when he grabbed her hand.
From his speech and body movements, he was distancing himself from her.
He had agreed to the three-month bet, but… he was reluctant.
‘A waste of time? Three months? Is it really a waste of time?’
Kyla smiled bitterly.
In a nearby corner, Shana Nicholls looked at Kyla with anger. She did not expect to see such a scene when she had only left to get a thin blanket.
She was in a position where she could not hear what they said, but… the way Mr. Weiss looked at the woman was different from his usual indifference.
It was as if there was something hidden deep under his eyes, or rather… he was suppressing something!
What was Mr. Weiss suppressing?
However, whatever it was, Mr. Weiss was probably not indifferent to Mrs. Weiss!
Grace and Lina were visiting Mrs. Corbyn at the store when they happened to meet Amber Mitchell, who came to visit. After leaving the store, the three of them found a nearby restaurant and sat down to dine together.
Although Lina was meeting Amber Mitchell for the first time, she had learned about Amber Mitchell from Grace and Kyla. Hence, she had always admired Amber Mitchell.
After all, it took an extraordinary amount of fortitude for a woman to survive that kind of adversity without committing suicide or being driven insane.
“Hello, Amber Mitchell. My name is Lina. I often heard Grace and Kyla mention you, so I don’t find you unfamiliar. Instead, I have a sense of familiarity upon seeing you.” Lina had always been outgoing and straightforward, so she was friendly with Amber Mitchell.
Amber Mitchell laughed. “Hello, I’ve heard about you from Kyla too. We could finally meet each other today. Since we’re all in Emerald City, we can visit each other more often when we have time.”
“Are you going to live in Emerald City permanently?” Lina asked.
Amber Mitchell nodded. “Yes, I’m currently studying at an archaeological research institute in Emerald City. I’m hoping to lead a more fulfilling life.”
B Gifts Lina’s keen eye saw the ring on Amber Mitchell’s left ring finger. “What’s with the ring?”
“It’s my wedding ring,” Amber Mitchell replied with a faint smile.
Lina asked in surprise, “A wedding ring? You’re married?”
Amber Mitchell admitted graciously, “Yes, I’m married. I’m married to a man who died trying to save me.
Though he’s dead, he’s the only husband I have. I feel content to be able to marry him after all these years.”
Grace said nothing as she had already learned about this from her phone conversation with Amber Mitchell previously.
Lina looked surprised. When she heard Amber Mitchell talking about her husband, the nostalgia and contentment on her face made her heart ache.
“You must love your husband very much,” she murmured.
“Yeah, I love Herman.” Amber Mitchell smiled. “There’s nothing better than being with the one you love.
I’ll never have this chance, and I can only be with Herman in my heart, but Kyla still has the chance. I really hope she and Martin Weiss can have a happy ending with her trip to L City this time. Speaking of Martin Weiss, Lina could not help but ask Grace, “Is it true that one’s memory could only be restored after saying the password?”
“In principle, yes. Of course, there’s another way. There’s a chance of recovery if one is forcefully triggered.” It was how Jay got all his memories back.
However, Jay and Martin Weiss were different. Jay lost part of his memory after being hypnotized, while Martin Weiss remembered everything except his feelings for her.
“Could we get the password from the hypnotist?” Lina asked.
Grace shook her head. “I’ve asked. The hypnotist doesn’t know Martin Weiss’s password because Martin Weiss himself had asked for the hypnosis. Hence, Martin Weiss set the password himself too.”
“…” Lina was speechless. “In other words, unless Martin Weiss tells us the password himself, no one will know what it is.”
“Yeah. Unless Martin Weiss wants to lift the hypnosis himself, we have no other way,” said Grace.
Martin Weiss was willing to donate his liver to Kyla a second time, but he still chose to leave her and return to L City. One could tell that Martin Weiss did not want to lift his hypnosis at all.
He did not want to lift the hypnosis and recover his feelings.
from back then. Martin Weiss was the one taking charge of the situation here.
They had no idea if Kyla could make Martin Weiss change his mind during her trip to L City this time.
The three sighed. God knew what password Martin Weiss had set!
Over in L City, Kyla was also pondering the same question.
Standing in the study, she looked at the impatient-looking Martin Weiss and said, “I… I only came in to have a word with you. I’ll leave once I’m done.”
“I thought I made it clear to you last time we were at the yard,” said Martin Weiss.
Kyla took a deep breath and suddenly said, “Martin Weiss, I love you. I love you very much!”
Martin Weiss stiffened slightly and frowned. “I told you. Whether you love me or not doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
Kyla bit her lip before saying, “Martin Weiss, I like you.”
Martin Weiss frowned deeper.
His voice paused as he raised his hand and caressed her hair, but his eyes were inscrutably deep. “Do you want to lift the hypnosis and let me restore my original feelings so that I can. become the fool who loves you so much I’ll give up my pride again?”
Kyla trembled. “Do you think you were a fool back then?”
“Weren’t I?” His fingers slipped from her hair to her cheek. However, his long and slender fingers were cold. “Wasn’t I a fool to give up all my dignity and pride for a woman and plead with her?”
His movements were so soft, but his touch was cold to the bone.
His voice continued to ring in her ear. “Kyla, if I had owed you anything since the beginning, I’ve already paid it off. You can forget about lifting the hypnosis. I set the password myself. I’m the only one who knows it, and no one will be able to figure it out, including you. It’s easy if you want to lift the hypnosis. I just have to tell you the password now.””
Her eyes widened instantly as she looked blankly at him.
However, what he said next seemed to cast her into hell. “But I won’t tell you that. I’ll never tell you.
Since I’ve decided to bury my past feelings, I won’t let them come back. Kyla, I don’t love you. Don’t waste your time.” As his voice finished speaking, his hands let go of her cheeks.
He sat back at his desk and continued reading his documents.
However, she stood there blankly as if her heart were empty!
Even after walking out of Martin Weiss’s study, Kyla was still a little confused. She was thinking about everything Martin Weiss had said earlier.
It turned out that he could have restored his feelings at any time, but he was unwilling to do so!
