A Love Forgotten

A wave of dizziness began to hit me again as soon as I finished speaking. My vision blurred with bright flashes, and I knew that the pressure in my head was rising again.

I gripped Teri’s arm and said in a low voice, “Get her out of here. I don’t want to see her.” My body. trembled as I spoke. I could feel that my first instinct was anger.

It was disheartening to realize that I wasn’t capable of ignoring the effect Jocelyn had on me. I still got angry and furious, and it was even to the point where I felt on the verge of losing control.

I wasn’t sure if I was regaining my lost memories or if it was just the lingering effects of the concussion, but I knew something wasn’t right about my body.

I felt deeply uncomfortable whenever Elijah or Jocelyn appeared. It was a kind of pathological discomfort that was deeply rooted in my mind.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Teri sensed that something was amiss and started to usher Jocelyn away. “Jocelyn, Ari has nothing to say to you. We don’t care whether you’re here to apologize or show off.”

She snapped, “Flies are drawn to rotten eggs. You’re that annoying fly while Elijah is the rotten egg. You two are a perfect match. Please stick together forever and stop bothering other people!”

Jocelyn seemed overwhelmed by Teri’s words and swayed on her feet. Shethen stepped forward to grab me before Teri waved a hand at her.

Suddenly, Jocelyn let out a painful hum as she covered her eyes.

At that moment, a voice rang out, “What are you doing? Elijah stormed over with an angry expression. Teri glanced at the pitiful sight of Jocelyn and sneered “You’re here, right on time. Jocelyn, you’re the one who called him here, right? That same old trick of yours. Aren’t you tired of playing this game?”

Jocelyn’s eyes reddened, and she looked to be on the verge of tears. She glanced helplessly at the furious Elijah and extended her hand to pull him back. “Elijah, don’t be mad. Ms. York didn’t do anything to me.”

I looked at her coldly.

Suddenly, Elijah did something unexpected. He avoided her grasp and held back his anger. “Jo, go home. You shouldn’t be here.”

Both Jocelyn and Teri were stunned.

1, too, was taken aback as I met his eyes.

Elijah was staring right at me with an unreadable look.

I nearly doubted whether I had misheard or was seeing things.

Had Elijah asked Jocelyn to leave?

Jocelyn was momentarily stunned before she burst into tears. “Elijah, I know I shouldn’t be here. I just wanted to explain things to Ms. York. I can return the diamond ring to her…”

Elijah didn’t even look at her face. Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on me.

1 awkwardly touched my face, wondering if there was something on it that was making him stare at me so intently.

Elijah said without turning back, “Jo, you should call her Mrs. Linden.”

Now, the air in the ward grew heavy with tension.

After a moment of shock, Jocelyn chose to break down. She let out a sorrowful smile as tears streamed down her face. “Okay, I understand now. Mr. Linden, you won’t see me again.”

She turned to me and said, “Mrs. Linden, I’m sorry. I’m deeply sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you over all these years. I’ll leave now.”

With that, she resolutely turned around and walked away.

I looked at Jocelyn’s retreating figure for a long while before asking Elijah, “Aren’t you going after her?”

There was a fleeting moment of sorrow and hesitation in his eyes.

I derided. “Go ahead. I don’t mind.”
