The pain spread throughout his body, reaching every limb.
The more intense the pain, the more desire, and longing grew in his heart!
This desire and longing made him want to break free from here and find the person who could make him feel no pain, to hold that person tightly in his arms!
But he couldn’t do that!
His remaining sanity was desperately suppressing this desire.
Tina, now that she has lost her previous memories, doesn’t remember his curse or her promise.
For her, everything that happened in the past no longer exists.
If he were to tell her everything she had promised in the past, including his curse, it would only be a kind of shackles for her.
Tina…
Thinking of her, a sharp pain surged in his chest.
She cares more about Kit than he imagined!
He initially thought that she would erase that man from her heart after witnessing her determination toward Kit.
After all, he knew that she hated being deceived by others. Even though she had lost her memory, this fact hadn’t changed.
Therefore, he believed that Kit would never have another chance!
But it wasn’t until he saw her protecting Kit in the alley that he realized he had been too simplistic in his thinking.
After all, the person who had been with Tina all those months was Kit.
During that time, Kit was the person Tina relied on the most.
For Tina, who had no memories, Kit at that time was a kind of redemption.
With such an existence, even though he had deceived her, how could he possibly treat it as if it didn’t exist?!
When he accompanied Tina to the hospital, he felt jealousy gnawing at him. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control that jealousy.
Moreover, his pain was about to flare up, which is why he hurriedly returned to the Hunter family in the middle of the night.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but the pain in his body gradually faded away, and
Chandler felt completely exhausted.
What should he do?
The closer he got to Tina, the harder it became for him to control himself.
He would constantly recall the love she had shown him before and then feel extremely upset because of her lack of love for him.
now.
After coming out of the medicine bath, he cleaned himself up and put on his clothes.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, a servant approached him and said, “Mr. Hunter, Ms. Hunter is here.”
Chandler was taken aback. Ms. Hunter mentioned by the servant could only be one person – Tina!
“Where is she?” Chandler asked anxiously.
“The old Mr. Hunter has already arranged for her to stay in a guest room,” the servant replied.
Chandler was momentarily stunned, then understood why she had been assigned a guest room.
These past few days were the days when his pain flared up. Grandfather knew he didn’t want Tina to know about hist physical condition, so he gave her a guest room.
After a moment, Chandler arrived at the guest room and saw
Tina.
“Why did you come?” he asked.
“I couldn’t reach you on your phone. When I found out you were back, I came to look for you!” Tina said.
“I just came back to see Grandfather and my parents,” he made up an excuse.
“Aren’t you mad at me?” Tina asked directly.
Chandler looked at the person in front of him affectionately. “Tina, I’m not mad at you.”
After experiencing the pain of losing her, how could he still be angry with her!
He could only be angry with himself, angry at his own mistakes, angry that he couldn’t make her love him!
But Chandler’s words didn’t make Tina feel any better. Instead, they made the heavy feeling in her chest even more pronounced.
The better he treated her, the more accommodating he was to her, the more uncomfortable she felt.
It was as if he was wrapped in layers of veils, and each seemingly thin layer could be easily seen through. But once those layers accumulated, it became increasingly difficult to see through!
It felt as if his standing in front of her was an illusion he carefully maintained. She thought she was gradually understanding him, but in reality, she understood nothing.
“Why aren’t you mad at me?” Tina asked.
“Because you’re Tina.” It seemed like this one explanation was enough!
Tina raised her head. “What if I’m not Tina? Would you still not be mad at me?”
He smiled helplessly. “There’s no ‘what if’ like that.”
“You…” She glared at him, her teeth tightly biting her lip.
“Tina, are you mad at me?” Chandler softly said, “Are you mad that I came back without telling you?
And my phone was off, so you couldn’t contact me. I promise I won’t do that again. From now on, whenever you want to contact me, you can reach me anytime!”
His slightly humble tone made the anger that had risen in Tina’s chest disappear in an instant.
“You really won’t let me lose contact with you again?” Tina asked.
“Really,” he promised.
“Then were you upset that day?” she asked again, “When I went to save Kit, were you very upset?”
Chandler looked at the woman in front of him. At this moment, she was looking at him with those clear eyes.
She had always looked at him with such clear and open eyes, to the point where it made him feel dirty.
“I…”
“I want to hear the truth!” Tina said, “I don’t want to hear lies. We’ve been through so much together, even though I don’t remember the past now, I don’t want to be surrounded by falsehoods. Chandler, I want to know what you really think.”
He pursed his thin lips. “I was indeed unhappy. I was afraid that if I had arrived later, you would have been in danger. I was afraid that you valued Kit too much, and I was also afraid that you…”
He paused for a moment. There was a sentence that had been suppressed in his heart, and now it finally came out.
“I was afraid that the person you fell in love with was Kit, that you had feelings for him.”
Because of fear, he ran away!
He didn’t want to see her behavior toward Kit.
“I do have feelings for Kit, but it’s not love!” Tina said frankly, “I hate that he deceived me, but when I see him now, I still feel sympathy. I think about how he rescued me from the village, how he protected me and the child during the car accident. So I don’t want his fate to be miserable. I hope he can live a good life too!”
She didn’t want the man in front of her to misunderstand, so she wanted to say everything she thought in her heart!
“Perhaps, before I knew he was deceiving me, I did like him and felt grateful, wanting to spend my life with him. But after knowing that it was all lies, I no longer like him!” Tina continued, taking two steps closer to Chandler.
At this moment, there was almost no distance between them. She looked up and could easily see her own face reflected in his pupils.
“Chandler, the person I want to love is you. That’s why I want to be with you like this, why I rush to find you when I can’t reach you on the phone, and why I care if you’re angry. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us!”
His body trembled. “You want to fall in love with me?”
“Yes, otherwise why would I always want to be with you?” Tina said, “I’ve lost my previous memories and don’t remember what happened before. Everyone tells me how much we loved each other and how much you loved me.”
She raised her hand and gently touched his cheek. “I don’t know how much I loved you before, but I can feel how much you loved me. So I also want to love you, even if I can’t remember the past, I want to fall in love with you again.”
As she spoke, her expression became more and more determined. “I want to love you, not because others keep telling me that we used to be in love, but because I want to love you on my own!”
Chandler stared at Tina, his mind almost blank.
He had never expected to hear such words from her!
Was it just because she wanted to love on her own?
“So, did you understand what I said?” Tina asked.
Chandler nodded.
“Then you won’t be afraid anymore,” she added.
He nodded again.
Tina smiled, cupped Chandler’s face, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips.
For some reason, she wanted to kiss him now!
Chandler was startled, but he didn’t push Tina away. Instead, he responded to her kiss.
This kiss reminded him of the past when Tina used to kiss him like this!
After who knows how long, the kiss finally ended.
Chandler gazed at the person in front of him. “You…”
“You won’t blame me for kissing you just now, right?” Tina asked with wide eyes.
“Why did you suddenly kiss me?” he asked.
